Chapter 264 Chu Yun flew back to the brigade headquarters, Chen Ziyun assisted Lao Li in the battle
At five o'clock in the morning on December 16, the fighting at Huting stronghold temporarily stopped.
The new group continued to attack, and they themselves also suffered casualties, and they also needed to rest.
Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent detachment and the leader of the new regiment, did not look very good at this time.
The detachment headquarters of the independent detachment in Kangjia Town was attacked, and the defending seventh company and cavalry company suffered heavy losses.
Everyone knows that Sun Desheng's cavalry company is Li Yunlong's heartthrob, and he cannot accept such a loss.
What's more, Zhao Gang, the main commander of this battle, was injured, and it was not serious. He had been rushed to the rear hospital for treatment.
As the battlefield changes, Chu Yunfei, commander of the 48th Independent Brigade, can no longer sit still.
The submachine gun platoon has urgently escorted him back to the 48th Independent Brigade Headquarters, and Chu Yunfei wants to take command personally.
As for Chen Ziyun, the artillery battalion stayed at the Huting stronghold and continued to assist the independent detachment in operations.
Chu Yunfei is very concerned about face. If he takes Chen Ziyun and leaves the artillery battalion at this time, it will inevitably make people think that he is adding insult to injury.
Although he also holds the rank of major general, Shigeharu Yanashita, commander of the major general brigade of the third independent mixed brigade, still showed a certain amount of respect.
Hattori Naoomi looked at Yanageshi Shigeharu beside him and said with a slightly dissatisfied expression on his face.
Chief of Staff Lin Zhiqiang immediately came to Jingle City to prepare the 12th Regiment's position.
"Da Biao, the Huting stronghold must be captured no matter what. Even if they knock out their teeth, they must be eaten."
Their weapons and equipment are very sophisticated, they are directly under the cavalry reconnaissance platoon, and they are all equipped with advanced submachine guns.
"There are so many cavalry troops, look at them, they have light and heavy machine guns, grenade mortars, everything you need."
The four 37MM flat-firing cannons of the cannon battery were transferred by Chen Ziyun and lent to the new regiment.
Sun Desheng, commander of the cavalry company of the new regiment, looked towards the cavalry battalion with envy on his face.
Because he was fighting on the front line, Zhang Wu did not salute.
But Hattori Naoomi is currently a major general, and this cannot be accomplished with military exploits or connections.
With these four flat-firing cannons, they also have weapons capable of attacking bunkers.
The new regiment continued to organize troops to launch a strong attack, and Chen Ziyun commanded the artillery unit to provide support.
Otherwise, if the 48th Independent Brigade shared the spoils, even if Chen Ziyun was here to support the operation, Li Yunlong would not smile like this.
"Hehehe, brother Ziyun, then I am really grateful to you."
The four Liao-made leveling artillery pieces played a major role.
The Yamamoto special agent team captured Kangjia Town, captured the detachment headquarters of the independent detachment, and other results.
There are four heavy machine guns, four 81MM mortars, and four Liao-made 37MM flat-fire cannons.
Yanashita Shigeharu accompanied him and continued the introduction.
Chen Ziyun is a very important officer of the 48th Independent Brigade. These troops came here to protect Chen Ziyun's safety.
"Liu Xiajun, with all due respect, this is simply the biggest shame of the imperial army."
After being polite, he led Hattori Naoomi and others to a luxuriously decorated restaurant for dinner.
Almost all general officers’ resumes will include references to graduates from the Military Academy and the Army University.
Hattori Naoomi graduated from the 22nd batch of the Non-Commissioned Officer School. He is an anomaly among the Japs.
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui were in charge of command, and the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and machine gun battalions were in charge of the attack.
Yanashita Shigeharu prepared sumptuous food for Hattori Naoomi. After breakfast, Hattori Naoomi continued to set off.
He was with the 12th Army of Lu Province, but he never expected that there would be such a powerful force in Jin Province.
Therefore, he believed that such a large-scale war against the Eighth Route Independent Detachment and the 48th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was just making a mountain out of a molehill.
After reading the analysis of the relevant battles, Naoomi Hattori said with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
Moreover, he directly reported the relevant information sent from the general's headquarters.
"And all the seizures in this battle belong to your independent detachment!"
And Li Yunlong will continue to attack the Huting stronghold, which is also good news for Chen Ziyun.
He was transferred from the 12th Army of Lu Province, so naturally he didn't understand the combat situation here in Jin Province.
As for all the spoils going to the independent detachment, it was also arranged by Chu Yunfei.
"Our artillery battalion, cavalry battalion and other troops will arrive quickly to fully support the independent detachment's operations."
Both of these are indispensable!
"Four heavy machine guns, four mortars, and four artillery pieces. What are they? How come I haven't seen them before?"
Three major generals were killed by them: Katayama Shoutaro, Harada Kenzo, and Tsuda Mitake!
In the previous large-scale raids, they achieved many results.
These two troops are not simple. They started fighting at Cangyunling.
"They only suffered minor injuries to a dozen people, but they were able to inflict hundreds of casualties. Their new tactics seem to be effective?"
Yanage Shigeharu was a little embarrassed. Looking at Hattori Naoomi in front of him, he hesitated.
Chen Ziyun had a conversation with Li Yunlong and began to deploy artillery units to ensure more effective bombardment.
As for whether Yamamoto's new tactics can be adopted, it also depends on the report of the observation group.
"But this seems to be a flat-firing cannon made by Liao. This is very rare. I didn't expect them to have such equipment."
The North China Front Army Headquarters asked him to serve as the leader of the observation group, also taking into account Naoomi Hattori's relationship at the base camp.
This force is an elite force that Chen Ziyun focused on building.
These Japanese and puppet troops have also been reinforced with various weapons.
Of course, the next focus was on his introduction to the defense of his troops at the Huting stronghold.
Of course, Chen Ziyun knew that Li Yunlong had changed so much mainly because he could benefit from it.
After all, Hattori Naoomi will watch the independent mixed third brigade fighting at the Kotei stronghold next. If Yanagishita Shigeharu follows, it is inevitable that he will be criticized.
At the same time, the artillery units providing artillery support for them have also increased to two artillery squadrons. They have four mountain guns and four field guns.
However, Yanashita Shigeharu had no idea that the situation had already changed while fighting at the Huting stronghold.
He wanted Naoomi Hattori to rest here for a while, and then go to the Hutei stronghold area for observation.
"Are the First Army troops all traffic soldiers? We are not here to observe combat, but to observe how they direct traffic?"
"As for the Jinsui Army troops mentioned above, their combat effectiveness is probably not as good as that of the Tubal Army."
"I don't have any knowledge at all. It's a flat-fire cannon, designed to hit machine gun positions and various bunkers."
"His Excellency, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka, mobilized troops and mobilized so many troops just to deal with Tobali."
It annihilated the elite third regiment, twice annihilated the independent mixed fourth brigade, and also annihilated more than 8,000 puppet troops organized by the Mongolian army.
Hattori Naoomi murmured to himself and began to take his seat.
In the absence of accurate information, Yanashita Shigeharu said that he personally commanded the 2,000-day puppet troops to fight calmly.
Li Yunlong stared and quickly made adjustments.
But in the country, cavalry still plays a certain role.
In the Little Japanese Army, it is already very difficult to reach the rank of Colonel without a diploma from the Army University.
The trucks of the battlefield observation group were driving in a mighty manner, but Yanashita Shigeharu did not follow them. Instead, he stayed at the brigade headquarters and actively directed the operations at the Huting stronghold.
Li Yunlong personally took command, and the three infantry battalions continued to attack, and fierce fighting continued.
"I really didn't expect that these little devils are so cunning and almost caught us off guard."
"Brother Yunlong, our brigade has quickly returned to Lancheng and commanded the entire brigade to conduct operations."
When Chen Ziyun has the cavalry battalion, guard company, and reconnaissance platoon in his hands, he will be able to completely eliminate the observation group.
"Liu Xiajun, I really can't understand. After leaving the northern Shanxi area controlled by the Mongolian army, there were many officers and soldiers standing guard along the way."
"Old Zhao and so many comrades have suffered casualties, and we must let the Yamamoto Special Forces pay with their blood!"
The cadres of the new regiment were talking a lot, and Li Yunlong almost drooled.
After hearing these reports, Hattori Naoomi showed a surprised expression on his face.
Therefore, he not only left Chen Ziyun and the artillery battalion here, but also secretly deployed the guard company and the cavalry battalion to rush over with firepower.
After all, in terms of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies, the 48th Independent Brigade has various channels for replenishment.
Hattori Naoomi asked for the document directly, and he looked at it carefully.
But after Chu Yunfei returned to the brigade headquarters, he actively carried out deployment.
The independent detachment quickly finalized the combat plan, and each department began to take a short rest.
These troops directly blocked the continuous fierce attacks by the elite artillery of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the elite new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
Chen Ziyun looked depressed and could only comfort him and said that if there was a chance in the future, he would try his best to help them reorganize the cavalry unit.
After all, some of his classmates at the same time had already reached the position of army commander, and he was only the commander of the major general brigade.
Regardless of some foreign battlefields, cavalry has almost no value.
Chen Ziyun nodded towards him and directly arranged for the cavalry battalion to hide.
"In this case, the Yamamoto special agent team is still capable of capturing Kangjia Town, where the independent detachment's detachment headquarters is located."
The only turret in the Huting stronghold is now in a shaky state after repeated attacks.
As Kong Jie said, this Li Yunlong is a dog-faced person, and he will change at will.
But Hattori Naoomi only graduated from the Military Academy, and because of his poor academic performance, he was never admitted to the Army University.
However, at this time, as the independent mixed third brigade increased its defensive troops, more than a thousand puppet troops were deployed in two defensive trenches.
After all, reporting good news but not bad news is not only the unique skill of the Shanxi-Sui Army and other troops.
In Yuanping City, trucks were driving one after another.
"Let them hold their position, block the Japanese and puppet troops in Kangjia Town, and assign the mortar company directly under the new regiment to them."
Li Yunlong's face was full of rage just now, but in the blink of an eye, he looked at Chen Ziyun with a smile and said.
"The so-called new tactics they proposed are only used to attack Tubal troops."
Li Yunlong quickly came over and looked at the weapons and equipment of the cavalry battalion with envy on his face.
The new regiment quickly swept through nearby bunkers, foxholes, and individual bunkers, completely eliminating the Japanese and puppet troops.
After destroying the Huting stronghold, their troops can enter Yuanping City unimpeded to fight.
Naoomi Hattori's impression of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army was still the same as before.
However, Naoomi Hattori did not reveal the truth, but asked in detail, and said that if the situation was true, he would include the battle at the Kotei stronghold in the report.
"Even if our artillery battalion uses up all the artillery shells, we will help you capture the Huting stronghold."
These five battalions attacked Kangjia Town with all their strength.
Some solid fortifications, with anti-personnel grenades falling inside, and after the explosion, countless steel balls will definitely kill all the people inside.
"Tell Lao Ding, Lao Kong, even if they can't defeat his mother's puppet army, what else can they do?"
"With your brother Ziyun commanding the artillery to assist, I can rest assured that we will definitely win the battle here."
So next, Chen Ziyun will definitely try his best to assist Li Yunlong in destroying the Huting stronghold.
The Zhangwu Cavalry Battalion has been strengthened to a certain extent, and its subordinate machine gun company has been strengthened.
"I can't imagine when our powerful army would pay so much attention to these Tubal Roads."
That way, as long as the location of the observation group is locked, they can be attacked quickly.
Time passed unconsciously, and at eight o'clock in the morning, the sky gradually became brighter.
These four flat-firing cannons were bought by Chen Ziyun at a considerable expense.
"Regiment seat." After Zhang Wu commanded the troops, he quickly dismounted and came to Chen Ziyun and said.
Chen Ziyun was listening to the reports from the reconnaissance platoon soldiers at this time. The reconnaissance platoon he sent out had begun to pass back news.
At nine o'clock, the new regiment captured the blockhouses and gun towers set up in the Huting stronghold.
"But in this battle, the Huting stronghold must be destroyed. I will not let any of the Japanese and puppet troops here go."
The machine gun battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, the 7th Battalion of the 358th Regiment, was also strengthened to the Reserve I2 Regiment.
Although the cavalry battalion has four mortars, it is difficult for the mortars to damage some bunker fortifications.
Some weak bunkers were directly destroyed by armor-piercing explosive bombs.
Chen Ziyun directly stated that he would definitely give full support to this battle. After all, there was a systematic mission.
As the cavalry battalion troops arrived, they instantly attracted the attention of Li Yunlong and other independent detachment cadres.
"Now that you are preparing such rich food, it seems to remind us that this is not a battlefield. Since it is not a battlefield, what is the point of us coming here."
It was at this time that the Japanese and puppet troops in Kangjia Town also launched operations.
When he heard that there were a large number of little devils standing guard on the main roads of Yuanping City, Chen Ziyun knew that 80% of the observation group was about to come to Yuanping City.
He was injured, but nothing serious happened, so he is still commanding dozens of cavalry on standby at the front.
The only turret was completely destroyed after repeated strikes.
Naomi Hattori, wearing the uniform of a major general, came directly to the brigade headquarters of the third independent mixed brigade with a dozen assistant officers.
He was personally deploying and commanding the battle at the Huting stronghold, and he was preparing to form a new regiment here.
He hoped that even if he could not be promoted to a higher position, he could be promoted to some degree in military rank.
Chen Ziyun's 358th Regiment was even on the verge of reaching too far.
During the conversation, Li Yunlong almost cried, intentionally or unintentionally, that his cavalry company had suffered heavy losses.
He and Chen Ziyun kept chatting, calling each other Ziyun brother.
"Please rest assured that our 48th Independent Brigade will never sit idly by in this battle."
Especially after becoming brothers with Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei was also willing to give Li Yunlong some benefits.
"I don't care whether they are elite or not, nor how sophisticated their weapons are."
They continuously fired armor-piercing explosive bombs and anti-personnel grenades to attack Japanese and puppet troops.
Kojima Nobuyuki initially led the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops to attack in an attempt to completely defeat the New Second Regiment and the independent regiment's defensive positions.
"I have remembered this grudge. The Yamamoto Special Agent Team will definitely deal with these bastards once I resolve the Huting stronghold."
Yanashita Shigeharu also took this into consideration, and after some hesitation, he explained in detail the situation of the independent detachment, the 48th Independent Brigade.
The rifle is also a Japanese-style Type 44 rifle and a Czech-style VZ24 rifle.
The North China Front Army Headquarters and even the Expeditionary Forces General Headquarters will judge the First Army's operation based on the reports of the field observation team.
This time Yanashita Shigeharu hoped that the observation group could tell something about the situation of the independent third brigade in the report.
After listening to the report, Chen Ziyun asked the soldier from the reconnaissance platoon to continue returning.
Time passed unconsciously, and at around six o'clock in the morning, the Zhangwu Cavalry Battalion was the first to arrive here.
The little devils paid heavy losses in Shanxi Province, but they would not make a big announcement.
Hattori Naoomi listened on the side and looked at Yanagishita Shigeharu next to him, not knowing what he meant.
Yanashita Shigeharu was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained.
During this period of contact, Chu Yunfei had some feelings about the situation of the independent detachment.
And he came to Li Yunlong. Looking at the furious Li Yunlong, Chen Ziyun tried to persuade him.
Next, they only need to break through the two defensive positions to quickly and completely destroy the Huting stronghold.
The cavalry battalion has three cavalry companies, each of which is also equipped with a certain number of light machine gun grenades.
I believe that as long as we continue to attack, this turret can be destroyed. After this turret is eliminated, the attack of the new group will naturally not be too much blocked.
The Liao-made 37MM flat-firing cannon is an imitation of the Taisho 11-type flat-firing cannon, and its overall performance is pretty good.
"If you look at it this way, the new tactics advocated by the First Army seem to have merit."
Hattori Naoomi was the leader of the battlefield observation group organized by the North China Front, and his observation of the battle had a great influence on the First Army.
It is almost impossible to enter the general rank.
After continuous fighting, the 14th Regiment of the Royal Association Army that stayed in Kangjia Town only had more than a thousand troops left.
Faced with the attack by so many troops, they were a little overwhelmed, so they quickly contacted Kojima Nobuxing for help.
After Kojima Nobuki received the news, he directly mobilized the 1st Independent Tank Squadron, and the 2nd Regiment of the Imperial Association Army quickly returned for reinforcements.
And he commanded the 1st Regiment of the Royal Association Army, the Artillery Battalion of the Royal Association Army, the 1st Special Operations Battalion of the Japanese Army, and the 3rd Artillery Squadron to continue attacking the positions of the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment.
