After some thought, Huang Yu decided to give up the unrealistic idea of training troops and focus on training everyone's stabbing, marksmanship, and concealment.
In the previous three attacks on enemy-occupied areas, Huang Yu would let the recruits take the opportunity to fire some live ammunition on the battlefield.
After half a month, each recruit has fired at least thirty rounds of live ammunition, and should have the feel of shooting.
Next, let them practice more basic movements. Not to mention becoming sharpshooters, they will definitely be able to hit a fixed target fifty meters away.
Fighting with a bayonet is a hurdle that Eighth Route Army soldiers must go through to fight the Japanese. Huang Yu wants every soldier in the guard class to survive until the end of the war, and at least give them the ability to protect themselves in hand-to-hand combat.
The last thing is to lurk!
Not only must you learn to lurk on your own, but you must also learn to discover enemies lurking around the regiment headquarters during training, so that you know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight without danger...
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, a discussion about the 386th Brigade was taking place in the office of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Your Excellency, Commander, during this sweep of the Eighth Route Army's 386th Brigade base area, I want to focus the attack on the independent regiment!" Colonel Sakata suggested with a respectful look.
"The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that had an encounter with you a few months ago?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.
"Hayi!" Colonel Sakata nodded.
"Although they suffered heavy losses in the encounter, they also caused half of the brigade casualties to the Sakata Alliance!"
"On the way back, we used guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to destroy a humble infantry squadron..."
"This revenge must be avenged!"
Yoshio Shinozuka did not refute, and quickly looked through a large pile of documents on the table. After finding what he wanted, he handed it directly to Colonel Sakata.
"This is another piece of information I asked the intelligence department to collect. After reading it, tell me what you think!"
"The new regiment of the 386th Brigade...the commander wants to take care of this Eighth Route Army when he attacks!" Sakata understood Shinozuka Yoshio's purpose after reading the intelligence.
"Not bad!" Yoshio Shinozuka replied silently.
"Intelligence shows that the New Regiment is stationed right next to the Independent Regiment, and is even closer to the Sakata Regiment!"
"If you want to kill the Independent Regiment and advance into the heart of the Eighth Route Army base, the New Regiment will bear the brunt!"
"But don't underestimate this Eighth Route Army. Their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the Independent Regiment!"
"More than two months ago, a single regiment captured a medium-sized stronghold of the Imperial Army and killed a full infantry squadron of the Imperial Army and more than 200 Imperial Army troops!"
"Subsequently, a large number of small troops were sent to the areas occupied by the imperial army to carry out sabotage, and they scattered and eliminated nearly two hundred imperial troops and more than two hundred imperial alliance troops!"
"I will never allow such an opponent to continue to grow bigger!"
"After the sweep begins, Bantian Regiment first eats the new group, then kills the independent group, and finally penetrates into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base to eliminate the 386th Brigade Headquarters!"
"The troops under your command have always been invincible on the frontal battlefield and can match any opponent."
"This raid is the first real decisive battle between you and the Eighth Route Army. I hope you will live up to the high expectations of the military and successfully complete the mission!"
At the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie walked into the war room and began to curse: "Li Yunlong is really nothing. Knowing that the Independent Regiment has a grudge against the Sakata United Regiment, he still stood up and competed with me for the rear position, which is too much!"
"Commander, don't be angry. The brigade commander did this for our own good!" The chief of staff was also very disappointed that he didn't get the rear mission, but he quickly calmed down from his shock and looked at Kong Jie with a thoughtful and comforting look on his face.
.
"We had an encounter with the Bantian Regiment, and the troops suffered heavy losses. The new recruits who have just replenished the unit have only been training for more than two months. They must not be able to confront the Sakata Regiment head-on. The brigade commander placed us in the second echelon to protect us.
!”
"Captain Li's troops have been recuperating and have not yet fought a head-on battle with the Japanese. Of course, the brigade commander will place them in the first echelon!"
"Alas!" Kong Jie said with a long sigh.
"I know the brigade commander is doing it for our own good, but I just don't want to miss this opportunity to fight against Sakata United!"
"The revenge of the political commissar has not been avenged. If you miss this opportunity, no one knows when Ma Yue will meet the Sakata United Team again."
The regiment headquarters has begun to move, and the first guard class is helping several staff officers as usual. When Kong Jie was talking to the chief of staff, Huang Yu happened to stay aside.
He was not qualified to interrupt, but the matter they were talking about was related to his revenge on the political commissar, so the regiment leader and chief of staff would definitely not say anything.
He stood up decisively and said: "Captain, I have an idea that will allow us to fight against the Sakata Regiment without violating the brigade headquarters' orders!"
"We finally came across an opportunity to avenge the political commissar. We must not let it pass easily!"
The result was exactly as Huang Yu had predicted. As soon as he mentioned the political commissar, the regiment leader and chief of staff had no objection to his sudden interruption.
Kong Jie looked forward to it, stared at Huang Yu and asked: "Speak out your thoughts quickly, I will discuss it with the chief of staff. If it is really useful, the regiment headquarters will definitely take credit from you!"
"The New Regiment will definitely retreat after completing its rear mission. If there is no troop cover, the retreat is likely to turn into a rout battle in which you chase and I escape, and the losses of the New Regiment will be great." Huang Yu thought and analyzed.
"We can take the initiative to ask the brigade commander to fight and cover the new regiment's withdrawal from the battle!"
"We have experience in slowing down the pursuit speed of Sakata United Team. The leader will definitely agree!"
Kong Jie knew the idea was feasible as soon as he heard it. He raised his legs and walked outside the headquarters: "Chief of Staff... you will immediately organize the troop transfer according to the planned plan..."
"Guard Class 1, come with me to the brigade headquarters!"
"The method Xiao Huang said is feasible. I must go to the brigade commander immediately to ask for a fight!"
"There are several main groups in the second echelon. If you arrive late, this mission will be someone else's!"
"Rumble..."
The shells fired by the mountain artillery squadron and infantry artillery team directly under the Bantian Regiment were like rain, continuously hitting the main position of the New Regiment in Cangyunling.
Within five minutes of firing, the position was completely covered in smoke.
From time to time, soldiers were blown into the sky together with their guns, which was very tragic...
Li Yunlong hid in the underground command post, patting the dirt on his hat from time to time...
"Commander, the artillery fire from Bantian Regiment was so fierce that the blocking position we finally built was almost destroyed!" the regimental chief of staff reminded with a frown.
"The field regiment is worthy of being a field regiment. The artillery shells were fired accurately and hard! We have fought against the Japanese garrison before and were bombarded by artillery fire, but we have never been so aggrieved as today!" Li Yunlong frowned and said,
I realized that Xinyi Tuan encountered a tough situation today.
But he was not discouraged, but continued with an expectant expression.
"No wonder Kong Erluzi lost half the regiment in a half-day battle with Sakata United!"
"I thought he didn't command well before, but now I know it's because our opponent is too strong!"
"But I like to fight elites. The more powerful the enemy is, the more excited I am!"
"Give me the order: I've hidden all the troops, put the Japs in and then open fire..."
"The machine gun fire hidden on both wings continues to stand still. That is my trump card to repel the Japanese at the critical moment!"
"Even if our new regiment fights all the way, we will still knock out two teeth of the Sakata Alliance in Cangyun Ridge!"
