Chapter 134 Temporary command authority given by the brigade commander
Chenjiayu, New Second Regiment Headquarters.
The telegraph operator of the New Second Regiment hurried into the regiment headquarters: "Regiment Commander, call back from the brigade headquarters."
"read!"
"The new Second Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is allowed to launch a military operation to attack the Ducun stronghold. The temporary command of the surrounding troops is granted. It is done on the basis of convenience. In the hope of achieving greater success, the brigade headquarters will cooperate with the Jinsui Army observation group to observe the battle two days later." The telegraph operator reported.
.
"No more?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"Captain, no more, that's all?"
"Brother Zhou, I think Brigadier Chen of your army is quite intent on starting a war." Chu Yunfei said with a smile.
"Isn't it you who caused the trouble? Otherwise, this would have happened?" Zhou Weihan glared at Chu Yunfei.
"It's time to catch up. The attack on the Ducun stronghold is exactly what Brigadier Chen wants. On the one hand, it shows the tactics of your Eighth Route Army to the viewing group, and on the other hand, it seems to me that there is no lack of muscle flexing." Chu Yunfei analyzed seriously.
road.
"Ha!" Zhou Weihan also laughed when he heard Chu Yunfei's analysis, and said: "Brother Chu, don't tell me, your analysis is very good, don't go back to the 358th Regiment, just stay with me as the chief of staff.
"
"Screw you, I am the leader of a reinforcement regiment of the regular army after all. You have the nerve to ask me to be your chief of staff."
"Seriously, what are you going to do?" Chu Yunfei asked.
"Since the superiors want to observe, let's play big. I originally wanted to send out a small force at night and seize the stronghold when they are unprepared.
According to the current situation, we will do it during the day so that you can see how our Eighth Route Army took down the Japs stronghold." Zhou Weihan said.
"Monk, call Dong Jiang." Zhou Weihan shouted outside the room.
Not long after, Dong Jiang came: "Captain, you are looking for me."
"Have all the warriors you selected been in place?" Zhou Weihan asked.
After the competition ended, Zhou Weihan asked Dong Jiang to gather the top fighters from the competition.
"Report to the head of the regiment that all the personnel of the reconnaissance company are in place, including thirty sharpshooters, ten bombardiers, three mortar teams, and thirty assaulters selected by the entire regiment. The entire company has a total of 82 people, weapons and equipment
It has been fully equipped and military training is currently underway." Dong Jianghui reported.
"Very good, I order the reconnaissance company to launch an attack on the Ducun stronghold at the junction of Anze and the eldest son in two days. You will be responsible for the details. Immediately gather manpower to conduct reconnaissance on the Ducun stronghold first." Zhou Weihan ordered.
"Yes!" Dong Jiang was overjoyed after hearing this. He was originally the guard company commander and had been responsible for following Zhou Weihan to protect his safety. Although he had fought many battles with the guard company, he was always eating soup and had no chance to take the guard company's turn.
When it comes to eating meat, this is a good opportunity.
"Don't be too happy too early. If you screw up this time, I will come back and be the commander of the security company." Zhou Weihan warned.
"Yes, leader, I promise to complete the mission." Dong Jiang grinned and walked away.
"Brother Zhou, why do I think your reconnaissance company has some intentions of being a Yamamoto special agent team?" Chu Yunfei asked.
"We have this plan, but our new second regiment doesn't have the strength yet. We just gathered all the experts in the regiment together and barely had the foundation of a special agent team."
Zhou Weihan is telling the truth. Judging from the current strength of the New Second Regiment, the weapons and equipment of the reconnaissance company are no worse than those of the Yamamoto Agent Team. However, in terms of individual combat capabilities and the tactical level of small groups, they are inferior to those of the Yamamoto Agent Team.
Far less than that.
If nothing else, just take the thirty selected sharpshooters, they are at most the level of veterans among the little devils, and only a few can reach the level of snipers like Thief Nine.
"Brother Zhou, I don't know how good your reconnaissance company is, but you have to think about it. If you take action during the day, the reinforcements from the surrounding little Japanese will be faster. You have to think about how to deal with this.
The battle has now changed its taste.”
Chu Yunfei was right. Zhou Weihan was not an arrogant person, nor was he a regiment leader who did not take the lives of soldiers at heart.
This battle has now changed its flavor. Although the telegram from the brigade headquarters was vague, the brigade commander delegated power to Zhou Weihan in the telegram and stated that he would also bring an observation group to watch the battle.
This battle is not just a simple military operation, but also has some political overtones.
The Shanxi Incident has only been less than half a year. In order to prevent some forces from forgetting the pain after healing the scars, the New Second Regiment must strike hard and kill the chickens and scare the monkeys.
"Hehe, if you can't beat it, you'll know if you try it. I always stay at home and forget what I do. It's time to stretch my muscles." Zhou Weihan said pointedly.
"What you are saying is disgusting. Now that it has reached this level, our united front cannot be just a decoration. You cannot sing this scene alone. I will write a letter to my chief of staff. You
Send someone to bring them over. Once there are reinforcements south of the Du Village stronghold, I will have the 358th Regiment block the enemies in the south." Chu Yunfei said simply and neatly,
Zhou Weihan unfolded the map and said: "Heijiakou in Tunliu is a strategic location. I will leave a battalion to stop the attack on the spot. The Kongjie Independent Regiment in the west will be in the direction of Anze to deal with it, and Li Yunlong's new regiment will be in the direction of the eldest son. Of course.
This is just the worst-case scenario, if everything goes well, none of these backup options will be needed."
New Regiment Headquarters.
"What? You asked me to follow Zhou Weihan's command, are you right?" Li Yunlong said with a surprised look on his face.
"Old Li, this is the phone call that Political Commissar Wang personally made to me." Political Commissar Luo said.
"This needs to be a big move, otherwise political commissar Wang wouldn't be able to call in person." Although Li Yunlong was a little dissatisfied with being directed by Zhou Weihan on the surface, he was actually very happy.
In Li Yunlong's words, this period of time was really boring. He was under the control of the political commissar all day long. If he hadn't snatched a batch of food from the little devil two days ago, Li Yunlong would have been really depressed.
"Lao Luo, what do you think we should do about this matter?" When Li Yunlong saw that there was a fight, he stopped getting angry with Political Commissar Luo and called Lao Luo affectionately.
"Captain, the superiors have spoken. I have no objection. You will be responsible for the specific military operations." Political Commissar Luo said.
Li Yunlong thought to himself, "I'm waiting for you just to say this. Isn't it just to block the enemy's reinforcements?"
What Lao Li likes the most is the kind of battle where we surround a stronghold and call for reinforcements. Usually, the little devils can't do anything about them if they stay in the stronghold, but it's easier to deal with them as long as they come out.
The situation with independent groups is similar.
"It's great. The last time such a big news was the complete annihilation of the Bantian Regiment. This week the Uighurs and Han are here again. Our independent regiment must help out." Kong Jie said to Guan Dashan, the commander of the first battalion.
The next day.
Dong Jiang has already led the reconnaissance company to the vicinity of the Ducun stronghold.
"Company Commander, although the number of defenders in this stronghold is not large, the fortifications are very strong, and the firepower can cover a distance of two to three hundred meters from the surrounding area. Our 60-meter mortars can't do anything to them. If we attack by force,
, a lot of sacrifices are bound to be made," said Lu Lu, the leader of the assault team.
"A strong attack? When did I say a strong attack? All we need to do is draw out the enemy's main force from the stronghold and deal with them by hand!" Dong Jiang said.
"Can this little devil still listen to us?" Lu Rover said in disbelief.
"You guys have been with me for so long, and I have been teaching you nothing. I just don't use my brain. If the leader and others conduct a large-scale encirclement and reinforcements, we will conduct a small-scale encirclement and reinforcements.
At that time, I will apply with the regiment leader to send a small force to attack the surrounding strongholds. The little devils in the Ducun stronghold will definitely send troops to reinforce, even if they dare not act rashly.
Have you seen the three-wheeler I brought? When the time comes, pretending to be a little devil and taking the initiative to ask for help, I don’t believe that the enemies in the Du Village stronghold will not come out." Dong Jiang said confidently.
"Hehe, as long as the enemy comes out of his bastard shell, then..." Lu Rover said with a silly smile on the side.
"Okay, don't be so stupid. Take some people to find out the number of enemies and weapons and equipment in the surrounding strongholds. Don't cause trouble then."
