Chapter 129 The Addiction of Being a Brigade Commander
"Huang Yu..."
"Here!" Huang Yu immediately stood up and looked at Kong Jie, waiting for him to give the order.
"Take your assault platoon and go to the Japanese Brigade Headquarters immediately to familiarize yourself with the three armored vehicles... As long as it is the weapons, ammunition and supplies we seized in Yangquan County, you can use whatever you like. The troops will set off in an hour to fight the Japanese army back. Reinforcement troops!" Kong Jie ordered seriously.
After finishing speaking, Huang Yu stared at Chen Quan and ordered: "The first battalion cooperates with the assault platoon and the cavalry company to face the Japanese reinforcements head-on!"
"First equip the troops with all the light machine guns we captured, and then transfer all the machine gun squads from the second battalion and the guard company to the first battalion to join the battle, and use the strongest firepower to attack the little Japs!"
"The cavalry company will first conduct adaptive training, and then attack the Japanese together with the armored vehicles, disrupting their formation!"
"The infantry artillery platoon was equipped with mortars and fought together against the Japanese returning troops..."
"Other troops stayed in Yangquan County and continued to transport the loot..."
"All participating troops will depart in one hour..."
"By killing the Japanese reinforcements, we can not only transfer the loot easily, but also create a miracle of a main force group annihilating a full Japanese infantry brigade..."
After giving the last order, Kong Jie turned his attention to the chief of staff and the guard: "Hurry back and tell the chief of staff that we have captured Yangquan and have gained a lot!"
"The troops will return to the base from the original route with the trophies, but they need his cooperation to attract the attention of the Japanese army and prevent us from being targeted by the Japanese..."
"Do this specifically: After the Lijiapo battle, the Japanese reinforcements will definitely withdraw..."
"All the remaining troops in the defense area gathered around the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade and launched attacks continuously, using all mortars and heavy machine guns, assuming a posture that we were going to annihilate them all!"
"Until the attacking troops return to their base safely!"
"I also want the chief of staff to tell the brigade commander everything I told him, and ask the brigade commander to send other surrounding Eighth Route Army troops to cooperate..."
"At the end of the battle, no matter how many weapons and ammunition they consumed, all independent regiments will be returned double!"
"Rumble..."
Violent explosions kept ringing in the middle of the Yamazaki Brigade's position. Although the Japanese mortar squadron fired a few shots and moved its position to avoid being targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery.
But they couldn't stand it. The artillery battalion of the 386th Brigade was equipped with more artillery than them and was more powerful than them...
Aim at the Japanese artillery position and cover it with a burst of artillery fire, expanding the strike area two or three times. No matter how fast the Japanese gunner moves, he cannot rush out dozens of meters in a few seconds.
After several rounds of bombardment, the artillery squadron of the Yamazaki Battalion suffered heavy losses and had to cease operations.
The New Second Regiment took the opportunity to speed up the excavation, and finally advanced the trench to a position 40 meters away from the Japanese circular position.
There are more than 360 people in a main battalion, and one soldier throws ten grenades.
In more than a minute, more than 3,600 grenades were thrown into the ring position.
The flying grenade fragments were like bursts of steel storms, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Japanese in the trenches.
Even if they were lying in the trench, the fragments caused by the grenade explosion still penetrated into their bodies.
There were also many grenades that exploded directly next to the Japanese, and the huge power directly tore their bodies into parts...
"Tick-tick...tick-tock..."
The loud charge horn sounded soon. Li Yunlong, holding a box cannon in one hand and a ghost sword in the other, shouted and rushed out of the offensive position and rushed towards the Yamazaki Brigade.
"Comrades... rush... kill those stupid little devils..."
"Comrades, kill me...to avenge your fallen comrades, come on..."
More than a thousand soldiers of the New Second Regiment rushed toward the Yamazaki Brigade screaming. The soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers behind made up for them and continued to attack...
Political commissar Zhao Gang did not flinch, charging while observing the Japanese positions...
I saw heavy machine guns firing more than a hundred meters away, and many soldiers were killed. I squatted down decisively, raised the 38 cover, adjusted the ruler, aimed, and pulled the trigger...
"Ba..."
The Japanese machine gunners fell in response, and the new second regiment, which had lost its threat, once again turned into a group of tiger cubs, rushing to kill the Yamazaki Brigade.
Zhao Gang continued to squat on the ground, quickly pulled the bolt of the gun, and pushed a new bullet into the chamber...
Aim at the Japanese sub-shooter and pull the trigger again...
After killing three machine gunners in a row, the offensive force finally fought with the Yamazaki Battalion...
In front of the enemy headquarters of the 386th Brigade, seeing the New Second Regiment charging into the Japanese circular position, the brigade commander finally relaxed his clenched fists, and at this moment a long-lost smile appeared on his solemn face.
He sighed and said: "Li Yunlong's clever idea is really useful..."
"When more than 3,000 grenades explode, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he will shed a layer of his skin!"
"I estimate there are at most two hundred people left in the Yamazaki Brigade..."
"There are more than a thousand people in the new second regiment. No matter how hard we try, we can kill them..."
"We finally won this battle!"
"If we had known that Li Yunlong had such a good idea, we should have let the New Second Regiment go first. We would have avoided many unnecessary casualties."
Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head and said: "Brigadier Commander, Li Yunlong is bound to get into trouble if he doesn't praise him."
"If he knew you praised him so much, his tail would be raised to the sky!"
"Besides, if other troops hadn't consumed part of the Yamazaki Brigade and exhausted the Japanese, Li Yunlong wouldn't have been able to break into the Japanese circular position so easily."
The brigade commander nodded and replied: "That's true..."
"Every link in the entire battle is important, complementary to each other, and neither one can be missing..."
"Tell Li Yunlong to speed up the battle rhythm, end the battle as quickly as possible, clean the battlefield, and withdraw from Lijiapo!"
"Kong Jie resisted the attack of three Japanese infantry brigades with the strength of a regiment... The pressure is very high. If we end the battle early, their casualties will be less!"
"You seem to have remembered wrongly... Only half of the independent regiment was left to block reinforcements, and the remaining half was taken to Yangquan by Kong Jie!" Chief of Staff Zhou reminded!
"How could I forget such an important thing!" The brigade commander slapped his head and reacted suddenly.
"It has been more than 20 hours since Kong Jie left the base. It stands to reason that he had arrived in Yangquan seven or eight hours ago. I don't know how he is doing there?"
"Chief of Staff Li of the Independent Regiment reported more than six hours ago that the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade suddenly sent an infantry brigade back to support Yangquan. This matter should be related to Kong Jie!" Chief of Staff Zhou answered.
"The Japs are very arrogant. Only when Yangquan is in crisis will they divide their forces and return to support. This shows that Kong Jie is making good progress. Even if Yangquan is not captured, the Japs are forced to return to Yangquan and relieve the pressure on the blocking troops."
"Jingle Bell……"
The phone at the former enemy headquarters suddenly rang. Chief of Staff Zhou walked over and handed the phone to the brigade commander in less than ten seconds. He said excitedly: "Chief of Staff Li of the Independent Regiment has the phone number. He has the phone number of Kong Jie."
information!"
The brigade commander took the call and looked into the receiver with an expectant look on his face: "Chief of Staff Li, this is Chen~, what news has Kong Jie sent back, good or bad!"
"Hello, brigade commander!" Chief of Staff Li's excited voice immediately came from the microphone.
The brigade commander knew it was a good thing as soon as he heard it, and his heart immediately relaxed after mentioning it.
"The security guard I sent out to contact the regiment leader has returned!" Chief of Staff Li began to report.
"The regiment leader asked him to tell me: The independent regiment's attack force has captured Yangquan and captured a large amount of loot, but it will take time to transfer the loot!"
"Order the remaining troops to take the initiative to attack the remaining two infantry brigades of the 4th Mixed Brigade. This will make the Japanese mistakenly think that we want to continue fighting, and then attack their two brigades to attract the attention of the Japanese army and create opportunities for the attacking troops to withdraw to the base!"
"The regiment commander hopes that the brigade commander can allocate part of his troops to cooperate with the independent regiment to perform!"
"He also promised: No matter how many weapons and ammunition each unit consumes during the performance, the independent regiment will return double the amount!"
"What a great tone. It seems that Kong Jie has really made a fortune in Yangquan..." Chief of Staff Zhou said with a happy face.
Looking at the brigade commander, he started to suggest: "Swallow whatever you say with the fat meat in your mouth!"
"Brigadier, we must help Kong Jie!"
"Although seven to eight hundred Japs were killed in the Lijiapo battle, the fighting lasted too long and a large number of heavy weapons were used. The weapons and ammunition we captured must be very few, and there is no way to make up for the losses on the battlefield."
"The weapons and ammunition Kong Jie brought back from Yangquan have become particularly important!"
"Otherwise, our main groups will definitely become weaker and weaker, our equipment will become worse and worse, and our ammunition will become less and less..."
"If we encounter such a big battle in the future, the troops will not be able to fight it even if they want to."
"I didn't say I didn't agree to send troops, why are you anxious?" the brigade commander asked with a smile.
Then he asked back on the microphone: "Did Kong Jie say when he would evacuate Yangquan... and which route he would take back to Yangquan specifically!"
"Evacuate Yangquan before dawn and return to the base via mountain roads!" Chief of Staff Li reported.
"Mountain road?" A look of confusion flashed on the brigade commander's face: "Didn't he seize a large amount of loot in Yangquan? How can we transport it back to the base by taking the mountain road... Aren't you going to talk to me again?"
No matter how bold Chief of Staff Li was, he would not dare to deceive the brigade commander, so he quickly explained: "Transport with mules, horses and horses!"
"The leader also asked me to report something to you!"
"In order to transport back the spoils of war, he took the initiative and used the captured ocean to buy more than 2,000 mules, horses and horses in Yangquan!"
"In addition, the mules, horses and horses captured by the traitors and Japanese trading houses, as well as the mules, horses and horses they equipped themselves..."
"There are more than 3,500 mules, horses and horses responsible for transporting the spoils of war. Please prepare the brigade and headquarters to receive them in advance..."
"Hiss..." the brigade commander took a breath and sighed: "So many..."
"How much loot did Kong Jie seize in Yangquan? He needed so many mules and horses!"
"Forget it, we'll find out when he returns to the base!"
"This time I will let him have the experience of being a brigade commander and listen to his command for once!"
