Chapter 146 Learning about the Moon Army’s night attack
The Harada detachment prepared to exploit the loopholes in Dongda's combat order from the First Army Headquarters and use night attacks to deal with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops stationed in Suohe Town.
Chen Ziyun's side continued to strengthen their positions and made defensive preparations, and the Zhangwu Cavalry Company paid close attention to the movements of the Yue army.
As for Li Yunlong's troops in the area south of the battlefield, can they disperse and hide now?
Li Yunlong, who had captured four field guns and more than 200 rounds of artillery shells, couldn't smile from ear to ear as he looked at the field guns.
He walked beside the field artillery, constantly observing, with an excited expression on his face.
As for the soldiers of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, they were all watching from a distance.
After all, it was wrong for those soldiers to know that four field guns were only qualified to be equipped at the brigade headquarters and division headquarters level.
Now Li Yunlong has actually captured four field guns, does that make them very envious?
Even if they themselves have greater gains, can they compare with four field guns? Not to mention rifles and light machine guns, even heavy machine guns and grenade launchers are useless.
"Captain Li is so lucky. He joined forces with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and defeated a large group of Japs, and captured four field guns."
"Then it's a field artillery. It's really a big thing. No wonder one of its shells is so powerful. Will the new regiment make a fortune that time?"
"No, with four field artillery pieces and a field artillery battery, our brigade headquarters is not that generous."
"Bu Nao followed Captain Li, and we made a lot of money. Basically, every squad has a light machine gun."
"And our battalion now has four heavy machine guns, with a lot of bullets."
"Speaking of which, it's really evil. The Shanxi-Sui Army troops are so powerful. They can easily defeat the Moon Army's artillery troops."
"I don't even look at their weapons and equipment. There are a lot of submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, and even grenade mortars."
"Isn't it strange that a weapon like that can't produce any results?"
For a while, the soldiers were talking a lot, but Li Yunlong was focused on the four field guns.
Of course, Li Yunlong also has his own troubles, that is, although he has four field guns, he does not have a corresponding artillery unit.
Wang Chengzhu was born in the mortar field. He had studied two infantry guns for a long time before reaching the level of two knives.
It turned out that the two infantry cannons were not used skillfully, so they were begged to be taken away by the brigade commander.
Now that the four field guns are with Li Yunlong, Wang Chengzhu can continue to fiddle with them.
Is Wang Chengzhu talented in artillery? Has he gained anything after studying it for a long time?
But if he gathers some artillery, he can only control one field gun, and the remaining three can be temporarily used as decorations.
"Captain, the Japs have increased their troops again. According to reports from the scouts, a large number of Moon troops are coming to the northern Shanxi area for reinforcements."
"Currently, there are at least seven to eight thousand Yuejun troops gathered on the line from Yuanping City to Xinxian County. The Bu Nao Japs have no intention of attacking and are temporarily launching defenses in place."
"The Jinsui Army is still holding on to Suohe Town. Our scouts have encountered their cavalry several times. It seems they are willing to continue fighting."
"Commander, should we continue to stay there, or should we withdraw immediately with the troops?"
"Have you been out for some time now? Please tell me if you can continue to stay there and fight. The brigade headquarters will get the news soon."
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Dabiao came to Li Yunlong and reported.
Did they send scouts to check on the kid? After Zhang Dabiao got the news from the scouts, he immediately found Li Yunlong.
The strength of the Moon Army has increased to seven to eight thousand men. With such strength, the Moon Army poses a certain threat to them.
And now whether they carry four field guns, it will be very difficult for the four field guns to maneuver, which will affect the overall combat level of the troops.
After all, the New Regiment and other units are good at guerrilla warfare, and they need to maintain high mobility in their operations.
The four field guns cannot be dismantled and are very difficult to transport. Once discovered, they will certainly not be able to move quickly.
So Zhang Dabiao feels that now they have reached the point where they can just give up when things get good. After all, they have also gained a lot.
Taking the troops back directly to the Yangcun area is obviously not the best choice.
"Da Biao, it's obvious that those four field cannons were given to us by the Jinsui Army. Then I can't tell?"
"As the saying goes, if you take advantage of someone's short legs, you will eat their short mouth. Now that we have taken four of their field guns, do we have the nerve to retreat to Yangcun?"
"We, Lao Li, wanted to hang out in that area from now on. We took four field cannons and threw them into the Suijun port of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. We ran away when we met the little devils."
"Then if the news spreads, does our old Li have a lot of face? Don't talk about him Li Yunlong, otherwise we will become a laughing stock."
"No, we not only cannot evacuate, but we also want to continue fighting. We have four field guns, so why do I need to get a group of mules and pack horses?"
"Otherwise, the artillerymen on the plains can easily push them away. But when they reach the mountain roads, the artillerymen in Zhuzhu will be exhausted and they won't be able to push away the field artillery."
Li Yunlong stared at Zhang Dabiao and said firmly.
The Type 38 field gun weighs more than 900 kilograms and cannot be disassembled into parts for transportation.
It is possible to move a large number of artillery troops on flat areas, but it will definitely not work on mountain roads.
Without corresponding mules and horses to drag them, those field artillery pieces could not be moved at all.
Li Yunlong did not capture mules and horses during the battle, so now he had to find a way to capture some mules and horses.
Of course, there are a lot of mules in Chen Ziyun's East Artillery Battalion.
Those mules were purchased by Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei. The two of them had received many awards from overseas and were very wealthy.
But he, Li Yunlong, was poor and had no money to buy a mule.
Zhang Dabiao heard what Li Yunlong said, thought for a while, and nodded in support.
Li Yunlong is clever and clever, and his brain is very useful, which Zhang Dabiao cannot compare with.
And as the leader of the new regiment, Li Yunlong thinks far ahead.
When Li Yunlong arrived from the east, he arranged for Zhang Dabiao to pay close attention to the movements of the Yue army, and whether each battalion took a rest immediately and waited for combat orders.
He planned to continue fighting against the Moon Army, and he had to continue to seize some loot no matter what.
Time is passing, and the sky is gradually getting dark.
At around seven o'clock, Chen Ziyun's headquarters was in the Suohe Town area.
Various cans were placed in front of Chen Ziyun's table, and there was also a bottle of Fenjiu.
As the infantry and artillery commander of the 48th Independent Brigade, Chen Ziyun received very good treatment.
He drank some wine, ate the confiscated moon-shaped cans, and glanced at the map from time to time.
The little devil didn't take any action all day long. Did Chen Ziyun get the relevant report?
Of course, the Moon Army's strength increased instantly, and he did not arrange for the troops to launch an attack.
After all, the Moon Army occupies Zhai Maidi, a blockhouse and gun tower along the railway line. If the troops want to attack, they will definitely be hitting a hard rock.
"Commander, it seems that the Moon Army is planning to confront them. They do not plan to continue attacking."
"That time they took the initiative to attack and threatened the area they occupied, thereby coordinating the operations in the Zhongtiao Mountain area."
"If they stay in place, then they must take action. Otherwise, it will be difficult to coordinate the operations of the Chief of Guard's troops."
"It's getting dark now. Why don't they launch a night attack, knock down some of their bunkers and gun towers, and see their reaction?"
At eight o'clock, while Chen Ziyun was drinking and eating, Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yuzhen came to the headquarters.
They are completely different from before. That time they came to ask for a fight.
The Moon troops stood firm in place and conducted a staggered standoff. They observed the situation all day long.
After much thought, they decided whether they went directly to Chen Ziyun and asked for a fight.
Please tell me whether before they fought with Chen Ziyun, they thought that they could minimize the losses of their troops and gain some military exploits.
But after the First World War in Fusuohe Town, the troops annihilated the puppet troops in Qianyue, Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujie were very excited.
Do they see hope and want to achieve greater results?
The current establishment of the 48th Independent Brigade is rather special, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that sooner or later the 48th Independent Brigade will have two regiments.
Once there are two regiments, Chu Yunfei will definitely not continue to serve as the commander of the 358th regiment.
Whether Qian Bojun and Zhang Furun are currently working with Chu Yunfei, they will not be transferred back to the 358th Regiment.
Whether Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yu can win the position of commander of the 358th Regiment, so they want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain more military exploits.
In the future, once Chu Yunfei no longer serves as the leader of the 358th Regiment, will they have a chance to compete for Yidong?
"The Moon Army's positions are relatively complete and they have a large number of troops. Even if they don't attack at night, they will still suffer losses."
"Continue to stay where you are and wait for orders. Let's see the reaction of the little devils first. If they plan to stick to the standoff for a long time, we will definitely take action."
"Battle Commander Wu, Commander Shi, our thoughts are clear to him. We can rest assured that there will be opportunities to obtain military exploits."
"And based on our performance, he will definitely recommend us to the brigade once a suitable position arises in the future."
Chen Ziyun couldn't see the little thoughts of the two battalion commanders, so he spoke.
Now that the Moon Army has strong troops and relatively sophisticated weapons and equipment, Chen Ziyun does not intend to take the initiative to attack.
What's more, even if he wanted to launch a night attack, he would still arrange for a security company and artillery unit to carry it out.
As for the two infantry battalions, they fought very well in defensive battles and in the offensive battles to encircle and annihilate Suohe Zhenyue puppet troops.
But if they have exposed many shortcomings, they will suffer huge losses if they really fight a tough battle with the Moon Army.
After all, during the previous siege of the Yue puppet army in Suohe Town, there were more than 200 Yue puppet troops inside, and there were quite a lot of puppet troops.
The main force of the two battalions attacked, but if they could not deal with the Yue puppet troops, then the two battalion commanders were really left with nothing to lose.
"No, Commander Chen."
Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujia heard Chen Ziyun's order. After saluting, they began to return to their respective stations.
When Chen Ziyun came to the map, he looked at the blockhouses and gun towers along the railway line with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The system issues a mission to destroy the northern section of the Tongpu Railway and destroy the bunkers and gun towers along the way.
But how to judge the completion of the task does not require the system to evaluate.
Previously, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to attack the fortresses and artillery towers in the first battle in the Xinxian area, and destroyed many of them.
Chen Ziyun now checked to see if the system had not given any judgment.
Obviously, that task has not been completed.
During the battle to the east, Chen Ziyun certainly did not want to continue destroying the fortresses and gun towers, and the system mission certainly did not want to be completed.
After all, will you be able to get a lot of rewards after completing the mission?
Of course, what Chen Ziyun needs most is the detailed firing parameter table of the artillery.
With that detailed shooting parameter table, can the artillery unit be able to greatly improve its combat effectiveness?
"Commander Chen."
At that time, Zhang Wu, the commander of the cavalry company, quickly came to the headquarters.
"What's going on over there, little devil?" Chen Ziyun asked immediately after seeing Zhang Wu.
The cavalry company was paying close attention to the Moon Army's actions on the north side, and the cavalry company commander Zhang Wu ran over. Chen Ziyun knew that he must be asking for something to report.
"Commander, they discovered one after another at midnight that the Yue army was making frequent mobilizations, and there were also traitors from the puppet army who were dispatched in small groups for investigation."
"Then they didn't want to alert the enemy. They didn't arrest them. So far, the Yue army is actively making preparations."
"Based on the information they received, the little devil will launch a large-scale attack, and the attack time will definitely be in the morning."
Zhang Wu looked at Chen Ziyun and immediately reported.
After hearing Zhang Wu's report, Chen Ziyun showed a surprised expression on his face.
He looked at the map and then at Zhang Wu. He was a little puzzled by the actions of the Yue Army.
Of course, Chen Ziyun would not have thought that the First Army Headquarters was worried that the troops would continue to suffer heavy casualties, so they begged the troops not to attack for the time being.
Without the order from the military headquarters, the Harada detachment would have launched a direct attack at midnight.
And now, is the Harada detachment taking advantage of some loopholes in the military headquarters and planning to launch an all-out night attack to attack Chen Ziyun's troops?
"Hahaha, is he really worried that they will stay in place and continue to confront them?"
"Now that they are asking for a night attack, it will save them a lot of trouble."
"Zhang Wu, after our cavalry company and guard company were hit, we quickly evacuated towards the north and continued to wait for the signal flares to launch the attack."
"Send the order to Wu Ziqiang's camp and Shi Yu frame's camp to get ready for battle. If the Moon Army moves like this, they will definitely launch a night attack."
"Quickly contact the artillery battalion and put them into combat status. The observation team pays close attention to the battlefield situation and guides the artillery to carry out shelling at any time."
Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face and immediately gave the battle order.
After receiving Zhang Wu's report, Chen Ziyun was basically certain that the Moon Army troops would definitely launch a night attack.
But Chen Ziyun had already made preparations and begged them to come over. Then Chen Ziyun would definitely give them a good drink.
The Jinsui Army troops in Suohe Town began to prepare for battle with all their strength, and everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Moon Army.
At half past eight, the Harada detachment headquarters began to issue combat preparation orders to the east.
The baggage squadron of the 13th Independent Infantry Regiment began to distribute combat supplies, and the various units of the Moon Army that received the combat supplies began to advance towards the designated positions.
At nine o'clock, Colonel Harada personally gave the order to attack.
Three infantry brigades and two artillery brigades took action at the same time and attacked quickly.
