Aren't we defending? Aren't we preventing the Japanese invaders from escaping?
Why did it turn into a counterattack again?
"superior!"
Zhang Chu did not explain.
Rather than passively waiting for the Japanese to come to your door, it is better to take the initiative.
The Japanese invaders probably never expected that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly come out from the direction of Baishi Town. And it was still so fierce.
"By the way, do any of you know how to shoot a cannon?"
Zhang Chu suddenly asked.
There are four 75mm field guns at the back!
It must be used when fighting Japanese invaders.
However, the soldiers of the cavalry company really can't do this kind of thing.
In fact, in the entire New Regiment, no one can play field artillery, including Zhu Zhu.
Zhuzi mainly plays mortars. He doesn't know much about field artillery either.
"Wang Zhe!"
"Wang Zhe!"
Liu Huaihong shouted immediately.
A bearded soldier came forward.
His eyes were sunken, his whole body was dirty, and he hadn't taken a shower in an unknown amount of time.
I can't tell my age. Maybe forty? Fifty?
"Group seat..."
The soldier said weakly.
From the sound of his voice, he doesn't seem very old.
"Commander Zhang, Wang Zhe used to be an artilleryman. He was engaged in mountain artillery."
"oh!"
"Don't look at him so slovenly. In fact, he is not even thirty years old."
"oh!
Zhang Chu nodded.
Turns out he’s not even thirty yet!
No wonder...
At this age, he is already considered young.
Because nine years have passed since the September 18th Incident, and the original Northeast Army has become old.
It seems that Liu Huaihong, Ni Dong and others are already in their thirties.
The Northeastern Army, who is less than thirty years old, can indeed be said to be young.
"There are four field guns in the back."
"You do it!"
Zhang Chu turned to look at Wang Zhe and explained the situation to him.
Wang Zhe was immediately overjoyed.
There are actually field guns?
He was indeed a professional artilleryman before and had considerable research on artillery technology.
Unfortunately, the young marshal later pursued a policy of non-resistance and ordered a forced withdrawal into the pass. Most of the field artillery was abandoned. He also became a pure infantryman.
After mixing and mixing, it became what it is now.
I don't feel like I am alone.
No dignity.
Unexpectedly, Tubal Road...
No. It's the Eighth Route Army.
There is actually a field artillery! He can actually be an artilleryman again!
"Wang Zhe!"
"arrive!"
"Take people to the back and pull up the field artillery."
"yes!
Wang Zhe agreed excitedly and immediately went there with more than thirty people.
Zhang Chu looked at Liu Huaihong in confusion. Are there so many professional artillery?
As a result, Liu Huaihong sighed regretfully.
Yes. They are all professional artillerymen. But their skills have been unfamiliar for many years.
In the past, they were all handsome young men who had just graduated from artillery school. Now, they are all bearded and slovenly veterans.
"Company Commander Sun!"
"have!"
"You send a squad to assist!"
"yes!"
Sun Desheng agreed.
He understood what Zhang Chu meant. He was afraid of something unexpected happening.
After all, it is the New Regiment's own field artillery. If you don't send your own people to watch it, you will always feel uneasy. It is not common for people to meet and talk to each other.
What’s more, you can see your horse power over a long journey, and you can see your people’s hearts over time.
Liu Huaihong, Yeluchu and others didn't think there was anything wrong. Trust must be built up slowly.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Chu waved his hand.
He led everyone to quickly approach the Japanese invaders.
A group of people passed through Baishi Town. No Japanese invaders were seen. However, the sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer.
"boom……"
"boom……"
By this time, the Japanese aircraft had already withdrawn.
The leading role was the field artillery of the New Regiment. There were also the Japanese infantry artillery and 90mm mortars. The artillery shells from both sides came back and forth, and the fight was very lively.
Although the Japanese invaders had aircraft, it was obvious that they could not control the entire battlefield for a long time.
The aircraft's time in the air is limited.
Unless the Japanese army spared no expense and mobilized a large number of aircraft to carry out bombings in turns.
The problem is that the Japanese invaders currently do not have such capabilities.
The Army Air Force of the Japanese invaders was just bullying the Chinese. It is completely unsatisfactory in the world. HNA may still have some seats.
Without the obstruction of Japanese aircraft, the new regiment's offensive was even stronger.
In addition to the new regiment of regular troops, there were also local armed forces assisting in the battle, a vast force of at least 5,000 people.
Including the independent regiment and Yannan detachment, there may be more than 8,000 people.
However, the Japanese invaders were not vegetarians. They were also very tenacious. There was no option in their minds to admit defeat.
The battle is intense.
Casualties on both sides continued to soar.
Political Commissar Zhao Gang's heart was now in his throat.
very nervous.
Worry about gains and losses.
When he first arrived, he encountered such a fierce battle. Zhao Gang felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
Launching a general attack on the Kasahara Alliance is a risky move.
Li Yunlong felt confident and ordered the attack without hesitation. However, Zhao Gang was always worried.
After all, the Japanese invaders were a unit!
However, at this moment, we must grit our teeth and persevere.
We will never give up until the Kasahara Regiment is completely defeated. Otherwise, the new regiment will be in big trouble.
"Where are the Japanese reinforcements?" Li Yunlong suddenly asked.
"The forwards will arrive at Fanzhuang Station soon." Zhang Dabiao, the newly appointed chief of staff of the regiment, replied, "The Yannan detachment is ready to intercept. The Jiupanshan detachment also agreed to assist. But I'm afraid they can only hold on for about five hours. Once
When the Japanese heavy artillery arrives, the Yannan detachment must withdraw from the battle."
"Five hours!" Li Yunlong's eyes were deep, "That's enough!"
Zhao Gang was about to speak but stopped.
This is a military issue, let Mr. Li make the decision!
He still has confidence in Lao Li's military command. After all, Li Yunlong is commanding the new regiment.
"Report!"
"Urgent message from brigade headquarters!"
Suddenly, the communications officer arrived.
Zhang Dabiao took the telegram and read it with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong? The sky is falling?"
"No. The headquarters ordered Ding Wei to lead the Wutaishan detachment south to support our operations."
"Ding Wei? Wutaishan detachment? Which Ding Wei is it?"
Li Yunlong was very surprised.
This name is very familiar. He has an old comrade also named Ding Wei.
However, this Ding Wei is in the Jizhong Military Region, not in northwest Shanxi. He may be someone with the same name.
As for the Wutaishan detachment... I've heard of it, but don't know the details.
Judging from the name, it should be a regiment-level unit. And it's not the main force.
The so-called detachment is actually between the regular army and the guerrillas. It can be regarded as a third-line force.
The 771st and 772nd regiments are the main force and the front line.
The New Regiment and the Independent Regiment are the backbone regiment and the second line.
The Yannan detachment and the Wutaishan detachment can only be regarded as the third line.
"The leader is Ding Wei, the former leader of the 28th Regiment of the Jizhong Military Region. He was temporarily appointed by the boss as the detachment leader and political commissar of the Wutaishan detachment."
"Is it really him?"
Li Yunlong was a little surprised.
Did this old comrade of mine make a mistake?
From the leader of the basic regiment, he was transferred to be the leader of the third-line detachment? There is no reason! Although he is also the political commissar...
Li Yunlong did make a lot of mistakes, but Ding Wei didn't hear much about it.
Although this kid is very wild, he definitely doesn't make any mistakes on the surface.
Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, before I came here, I heard the brigade commander mention that we need to open up the connection between us and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei. The Wutai Mountain detachment shoulders a heavy responsibility."
"So that's it." Li Yunlong understood.
I'm sorry, Ding Wei is the most suitable person to do this.
This guy is definitely an all-around master. Whether he is facing the Japanese army, the puppet army, the stubborn army, or the friendly army, he has a way to deal with it.
The key is that this guy is educated.
"Report!"
A correspondent comes in.
"The regimental commander, the political commissar, and the Japanese invaders have launched a counterattack again."
"good!"
Li Yunlong immediately walked out of the command post with a telescope.
This Kasahara unit is really tough. After being beaten like this, they can still fight back. The fighting spirit is really commendable.
Strategically, you can despise the enemy, but tactically, you must pay attention to the enemy.
I cannot accept the tenacity of the Japanese invaders.
We walked to the trench in front. It was already gray here.
The Japanese invaders were also crazy and smashed the shells desperately. Obviously they wanted to destroy all the wealth in the family. Even if all the jade was smashed, they would never leave a shell for Tubal Road.
Therefore, if it relied solely on capture, the Eighth Route Army would not be able to fight a major war.
Because almost nothing was seized.
The Japanese invaders will never leave you too many weapons and ammunition.
but now……
bring it on!
Raise the telescope.
I saw the wilderness ahead filled with corpses of Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders who tried to fight back were all killed on the ground by the firepower of the new group.
"The devils want to consume our ammunition."
"They thought they had caught our weak spot."
Zhao Gang said thoughtfully.
Li Yunlong nodded.
Indeed.
The Japanese invaders believed that the Eighth Route Army did not have much ammunition and could not last long.
This kind of counterattack consumes a lot of ammunition. The Japanese invaders launched successive small-scale counterattacks, which indeed greatly consumed the ammunition of the new group.
However, Li Yunlong is not afraid.
He prepared a total of twenty bases of ammunition. He has only fired three bases now.
If the Japanese invaders are not afraid of death, they will attack aggressively.
Just reduces attack resistance.
but……
When Zhang Chu comes back, he will have to add a few more basic ammunition...
