Chapter 183 Leave the equipment to the brothers and retreat!

at the same time.

Wen County,

A small county town located to the west of Jinzhong Basin and under the control of the Japanese.

At dusk, the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Regiment galloped along the newly built mountain road to a mountain village called Zhucun, twenty miles away from Wen County.

Zhucun is also the base area closest to the Jinzhong Basin.

Getting closer to the Jinzhong Basin is a guerrilla zone.

As for the Jinzhong Basin, it is the core control area of ​​the Japanese.

Stationed in Zhucun is the old main regiment, the 769th Regiment.

Like the 772nd Regiment, this is a main force adapted from old Red Army units.

The 7th Battalion of the Independent Regiment, as the second batch of established battalions established in the Independent Regiment, has key officers drawn from the 1, 2, and 3 Battalions. They have rich combat experience, and the grassroots soldiers have experienced many battles.

The best among the best.

The equipment is also at the level of a first battalion.

Two hundred jeeps, the new Type 60 mortars that have been introduced to the company, one hundred 12.7-caliber large-caliber machine guns and other new weapons, and carry nearly 300 tons of ammunition baggage.

Considering that the purpose of this battle was only to deal with a Japanese county town where only one brigade was stationed, there was no need for long-range artillery, and to prevent premature exposure, the fifth battalion did not carry the 82 mortar with a range of 5,700 meters, and was still equipped with old-fashioned

The 82 mortar has a range of only three kilometers.

"Report to the leader, the 7th Battalion of the Independent Regiment is here."

Ignoring the report of the soldiers on the side, the leader of the 769th Regiment, who was looking forward with his binoculars, saw two hundred cars arriving, his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Is there really only one battalion coming this time?"

he knows.

Because of Li Yunlong’s mysterious friend, the Independent Group is in a special situation.

The independent regiment has many, many troops and a very large organization, far larger than an ordinary regiment.

And it's ridiculously big.

However, as a standard independent combat unit, the number of people at the battalion level will not be too many, and issues such as battlefield needs, command, and cooperation with other units must be taken into consideration.

How many people are there in a battalion?

Fight to the death, more than a thousand people, right?

You can't have thousands of people in one battalion, right?

With the current material resources in the base area, the organizational capabilities of the troops, and the affluence of Li Yunlong's side, there is no problem, but it will affect the command operations and increase the difficulty of command.

Superiors will not allow this to happen.

Otherwise, if you fight with a battalion and a main regiment, you don't need to mention the combat effectiveness. If you continue to develop according to the current progress, maybe in the future, a company of the independent regiment will be able to chase the Japanese and a full battalion all over the mountain.

But the battalion is much more powerful than the regiment. Who will command it?

Then it won’t be a mess!

But when he looked at the small cars in front of him, there were two hundred of them.

Although it was about to fall into the night, his eyesight was not bad. He had just counted clearly, two hundred cars, each one was quite a lot.

Two hundred cars per battalion?

Even the Little Devil's Class A Division is definitely not that wealthy!

Even in recent years, the so-called Class A divisions of the Japanese that have mechanized are far from reaching this scale of mechanization.

I estimate that only German and American troops can achieve this level.

Everyone sits on wheels, and marching does not require two legs.

According to legend, a true mechanized and motorized force.

"Yes, the one who came to support our battle is the 7th Battalion of the Independent Regiment, with a total strength of 800 people."

A soldier on the side answered.

"Eight hundred people!"

The leader of the 769th Regiment's eyes twitched again.

In other words, one car for four people?

If the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Regiment were fighting guerrillas in the Jinzhong Basin, wouldn't they come and go like the wind?

The kid can't keep up even if he doesn't flatter him?

"Li Yunlong is so damn rich!"

The 769 group licked their lips.

The 769th Regiment has been stationed near Wenxian County for a long time and has always had conflicts with the Japanese. His biggest goal is to enter the Jinzhong Basin to fight guerrillas, destroy the Japanese transportation lines, and attack the Japanese transport teams.

Naihe, the basin is flat, the view is broad, and there is a road network.

Even though the 769th Regiment is now equipped with the latest 60 mortars with a range of 3.4 kilometers, the threat of highly mobile Japanese armored vehicles and cavalry is still fatal.

In the Jinzhong Basin, once you are entangled by the Japs, you will inevitably be annihilated by the continuous influx of Japs.

But if they have such a small and fast car, then...

When the time comes, you can mount a machine gun on the back seat, or even a 60mm mortar, and run away after the attack, while the little devil can only stare.

"Why··"

Thinking of this, the 769th Regiment sighed.

Although he wanted it very much, and although it could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, he knew very well that even though the four members of the Independent Regiment only had one car, it would definitely not be their turn in a short period of time.

There are people in his group who hold meetings, although not many, there are still a dozen or twenty.

There are also people who know how to repair cars. There were quite a few soldiers doing car repairs in Taiyuan in the past.

But a car is more difficult to maintain than a Pelton horse. It requires gasoline, requires high logistics support, and has high road requirements...

Of course, the most important thing is,

Even though the 769th Regiment is the main regiment, or the main numbered regiment, the demand for automobile troops is very high, especially in the rear base areas. In the absence of urgent needs for the troops, the supply of rear base areas will definitely be given priority for the construction and development of the base areas.

At most, equip some main groups on a small scale.

While thinking about it, two hundred jeeps from the Seventh Battalion were parked around the village.

I have to say something,

Although this place is only 20 miles away from Wen County, where a thousand-man Japs brigade is stationed, the distance is very close. However, as the strength of the troops becomes stronger, they are able to have a head-on confrontation with the Japs. However, the Japs are restrained by the traffic lines and cannot large-scale

Because of their mobility, the troops had strong control over the village. The Japanese were completely unaware of such a large-scale operation.

When the 7th Battalion was packing up its garrison, the leader of the 769th Regiment looked back at Wen County, and then enthusiastically stepped forward to respond.

This time, the mission of the 769th Regiment was to occupy Wen County, and the 7th Battalion of the Independent Regiment came to support them.

Tonight, two more groups will come,

A total of three main regiments and an independent regiment's main battalion, with a total strength of 5,000, are preparing to cooperate with the spy company that infiltrated into Wenxian County not long ago to storm Wenxian County.

The Wenxian garrison consisted of a full Japanese brigade, with exactly one thousand people and more than two hundred Japanese soldiers.

···

at the same time,

Daxia Village,

After repelling the Japanese offensive troops, a telegram flew from the independent regiment headquarters to the fifth battalion commander.

"Order the troops to assemble immediately, bringing only basic light weapons and half of the ammunition."

"Go and call Commander Su of the New Ninth Regiment and Staff Officer Wang to come over."

Putting away the telegram, the commander of the fifth battalion immediately ordered the troops to assemble in lightly armed formations. At the same time, he sent someone to invite the commander of the new ninth regiment and Staff Officer Wang of the brigade who had arrived with the reinforcements of the five regiments.

"What's up?"

A regimental commander and a brigade staff member rushed over in a hurry.

"The regiment headquarters ordered us to return to Yangcun immediately."

The fifth battalion commander said.

"Go back to Yangcun?"

The two were stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly:
To be continued...
