Chapter 148 The Storm in Yangcun (8)

“The food is better than that of Group 217.”

Wucun.

57th regiment station.

After Sun Cang came over with a whole platoon of soldiers, it was exactly noon. He caught up with the troops for lunch. After a simple welcome, the group went to the cafeteria to eat.

Sun Cang and others looked at the food in their bowls, and then at the food in the bowls of other Eighth Route Army soldiers. They were full of surprises and disbelief.

He found that everyone in the Eighth Route Army here ate the same food. Even the battalion commanders and platoon commanders ate in the large canteen, which was on the same level as ordinary soldiers.

Just like in the legend.

and,

The food was much better than what they had eaten at the Central Army.

Frankly speaking, the food in the army today is not good.

Due to the fruit blockade, Japanese prisons, and raids and sabotage, the food output in the base area was limited, otherwise there would have been no Nanniwan incident.

But really, I can’t stand it because the preserved fruit is too stretched on my crotch.

Skipping meals has become the norm.

It's strange that the army didn't make any deductions. Many people in the army's cooking squad also worked as foreigners to provide food for ordinary soldiers, just to get some food so that people wouldn't starve to death.

On the army side, although there is also a shortage of supplies, the logistics personnel and the soldiers in the cooking squad are using their brains to find ways to keep the soldiers fed and well fed.

Even if they are both eight-treasure rice,

The troops first sort out the debris and moldy stuff inside, then dry and process it before cooking it for the soldiers to eat. Although it still doesn't taste good, it can fill their stomachs and won't harm the body.

As for the preserved fruits, they are cooked directly in one pot, regardless of whether they can eat them or whether they will upset their stomach.

This is better than two people.

The food expenses for one person per day are thirty yuan, and the food expenses for one person per day are ten yuan.

The former had only five yuan at most and spent it lavishly, while the latter had all ten yuan in his account and lived frugally, which naturally led to a significant gap in food.

"You should have come earlier!"

A soldier sighed.

After the meal, everyone became more determined about coming.

"gather."

After dinner, Sun Cang and his platoon of more than thirty soldiers gathered in an open space. Commander Wu Kai of the 57th Regiment came over to welcome him personally. The next step was to distribute military uniforms and quilts.

"Hey, you really gave us this military uniform..."

Our trenches were only about a hundred meters apart, and we used to walk together in the streets, so we were very familiar with each other.

The soldiers of the 217th Regiment of the Central Army have been coveting the new military uniforms of the 57th Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which are made of good materials, and the light and anti-puncture military shoes for a long time.

This military uniform is worth a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, they handed it out on the first day they arrived.

More than thirty soldiers, including Sun Cang, lined up neatly after putting on their military uniforms.

"Hey, we've all become a lot more handsome!"

Sun Cang joked.

"Hahaha··"

The soldiers laughed together.

A meal, a new suit of clothes, and a new quilt made the hesitation in the hearts of the more than thirty soldiers who came over completely dissipate.

the next day.

The more than thirty soldiers brought by Sun Cang were temporarily divided into battalions and companies in squad units.

Regardless of their combat skills, Sun Cang is a good leader of troops, mainly because he is familiar with the eight points of attention and the three major disciplines of the army.

According to the plan of the regiment headquarters, the more than 30 people brought by Sun Cang will decide whether to continue to be dispersed in squads and distributed in a company, or to form a separate platoon and leave it to Sun Cang to lead, depending on the situation.

···

Fast forward to October.

The Hundred Regiment War is still going on, and the troops continue to fight against the Japanese around important roads and railways. Although the scale is weakening, the intensity remains unchanged at all.

The superiors were determined to destroy the Japanese railways, highways and bridges, and pull out the blockhouses around the highways, interfering with the Japanese's time to repair traffic, while the Japanese strictly guarded all important traffic arteries.

Neither side gave in.

There were even many instances of field battles between the two sides.

There were wins and losses during the period, and the field battles were generally 50-50.

This shocked the top brass of the North China Front.

Tubal Road, you can actually fight with the Locust Army in the field?

Among them, the most representative one is a battle of the 772nd Regiment.

It was the first day of early October.

The 772nd Regiment was ordered to go to a road to intercept the Japanese reinforcements. The entire regiment of two thousand people marched along the road in a swaggering manner.

Although the Japanese have planes, they are not many in number. Now that the railway has been severely damaged, supplies cannot come in, and there is not enough fuel. In addition, with fires everywhere, they cannot provide support at all.

We happened to meet the Yamazaki Battalion of the 12th Regiment of the 29th Brigade.

The two sides met in an open field.

The 772nd Regiment has just been strengthened. Although its strength has not increased, the entire regiment is equipped with a total of 27 60mm mortars. The fifty Pelton horses brought back from the independent regiment by the first battalion are also capable of carrying more than a thousand artillery shells without affecting

Troop mobility.

Seeing that there were only more than 500 Japanese, Cheng Shifa immediately ordered his troops to launch a pincer-like offensive, intending to swallow up the Yamazaki Brigade in one go and wash away the grievances of the past.

Looking back at the beginning, when he was a numbered main regiment of the 772nd Regiment, in the field, he had to be careful when encountering a Japanese squadron, and he had to walk around when encountering a large group.

There was no way. At that time, although his weapons and equipment were better than those of other regiments, he really didn't have many bullets.

Shooting discipline is no joke.

Now that I am rich, I naturally have to find my place again.

Otherwise, do you really think that the troops are just wandering around without attacking?

Old Japs Yamazaki is a typical low-level Japs officer who was brainwashed by Bushido. He only thinks about Locust and the Empire, and he only thinks about fighting for the Holy War.

In my heart, I think the Locust Army is the best in the world.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army of a regiment on the opposite side actually surrounded and annihilated him, and was really in a field condition, he immediately became furious, completely forgetting the orders from his superiors, he drew his samurai sword and ordered the troops to start an attack.

The Yamazaki Brigade does have some skills.

A battalion and a company in front of the 772nd Regiment launched an attack under the cover of ten 60-men forces. With the advantage of the troops and the terrain, no one had an advantage, but they were pushed back directly.

Angry, Cheng Shifa personally led the attack again.

But Yamazaki's ability only goes so far.

There is one battalion and one company on the front, one battalion on the left, one battalion on the right, and an artillery company. With one company left as a reserve, the total offensive strength of the 772 Regiment still reached 1,500 people.

Close to three times that of the Japanese.

Or the leader personally leads the team.

Facing a three-sided siege with an absolute superiority in strength, the Yamazaki Brigade was divided and surrounded in just one hour, with most of the casualties being killed.

At this time, Yamazaki remembered the order from his superiors - it was forbidden to fight head-on with Tubal Road, which was several times larger than his own.

But it's too late.

At this time, more than half of the Yamazaki Battalion was killed or wounded, and it was surrounded by the 772nd Regiment and even divided into three parts. The troops he could command were less than one squad - they were already stuffed into dumpling wrappers or even meat fillings in the pot. No, to be more precise,

, it has been taken into the mouth and broken into pieces.

There is no chance to run away.

There is absolutely no possibility of a breakout.

Yamazaki, who understood, pulled off his military cap, took out a bandana and wrapped it around his head. He then raised his samurai sword, yelled and launched a jade-breaking charge, rushing towards the position of the 772nd Regiment Artillery Company.

Although the battle was very short, Old Japanese Yamazaki also saw that the main reason for his defeat was the large number of 60mm mortars equipped on Tubal Road. The ferocious artillery fire disrupted any of his tactics.

Even if you die, you will bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh and make a final fight for the locusts.

With this mentality, Old Japanese Yamazaki launched an attack on the artillery company position of the 772nd Regiment.
