The first thousand one hundred and twenty-six chapters start a good show
The newly formed fifth battalion did not know what happened behind the barracks.
At this moment, Wang Ping came, along with Jin Kai and others.
"Captain, why are you here!" the new commander of the fifth battalion rushed over and reported!
"The little Japs have planted traitors next to you. Of course I have to come over. If you don't come over, the newly formed fifth battalion will be wiped out by the Japs tonight and you won't even know what happened!" Wang Ping cursed unceremoniously.
"Is there a mole in the new fifth battalion?" Battalion Commander Zhang obviously did not think that the regimental commander came here for this reason.
Wang Ping did not give him time to digest the news and directly ordered: "Director Wei, bring the people up!"
"Captain Li!" Seeing the Second Company Commander being escorted by two soldiers, Battalion Commander Zhang once again showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Wei Yong directly took out the evidence he found in the cracks of the bricks: "Captain Zhang, we all gain from stolen goods, and we will never wrongly accuse a cadre or soldier.
!”
After seeing the content on the note and seeing that the handwriting was indeed that of the Second Company Commander, the shock on Commander Zhou's face was instantly replaced by anger!
"Okay, you and Li Guitian, let me tell you why the army was ambushed by the Japanese twice and why did you escape death every time? It turns out that you have been bribed by the Japanese!"
"Tell me, the newly formed fifth battalion was ambushed by the Japs twice. Did you betray the troops and give our news to the Japs?"
Seeing that Li Guitian was silent, Battalion Commander Zhang rushed over and kicked him twice. When he wanted to continue the fight, he was stopped by Wei Yong.
"Battle Commander Zhang, just vent your anger. Don't beat him to death. I also hope that he can drag things out and bring out more moles!"
Wang Ping said: "Who is the deputy company commander of the second company? Stand up!"
"Reporting to the commander, I am Xiao Yuntian, deputy commander of the second company..." Soon a cadre with a pistol hanging on his waist stood up, saluted, and then reported loudly.
Wang Ping nodded and ordered: "From now on, you are the commander of the second company!"
"Battle Commander Zhang, the order just now is cancelled. Our target of attack today is still Touguan Town. However, the Japs have already deployed two groups of lurking troops around Touguan Town. So, after arriving at the battlefield, you guys will have a fight.
Second, in addition to launching an attack directly against the Japanese and puppet troops in Touguan Town under the cover of artillery, a company of troops must be left behind to block the attack from behind!"
Battalion Commander Zhang reacted immediately: "A company blocked the attack of a Japanese infantry brigade? Commander, you are too high-minded about our new fifth battalion!"
"The proportion of veterans in the army is too low. Although the equipment is acceptable, the combat effectiveness is far worse than that of a Japanese infantry brigade."
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Five minutes, as long as you can block the enemy's attack for five minutes, troops will attack from behind the enemy!"
After saying that, Wang Ping stared at this very unfamiliar Battalion Commander Zhang!
"It can be done in five minutes!" Battalion Commander Zhang replied through gritted teeth.
At the Japanese division headquarters in Linfen City, the chief of staff rushed in happily.
"Division commander, good news! The reconnaissance force reported that the Eighth Route Army is following the original battle plan, with two battalions heading towards Touguan Town and one battalion heading towards this hilly area!"
"Are all our troops in place?" Lieutenant General Ito asked with excitement on his face.
"Hi!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
"The two mixed brigades have already lurked in place. As long as the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops are in place and start attacking, the two mixed brigades will attack. With the cooperation of the garrison in Touguan Town, they will attack from inside and outside to kill their attacking troops!"
"A reinforced brigade of reinforcements is also ready and will be dispatched when the Eighth Route Army begins its attack!"
"Yes!" Lieutenant General Ito showed a very satisfied smile on his face, then stared at the chief of staff and ordered: "Tell the reinforcements that after fighting the Eighth Route Army blocking troops, they must strengthen their offensive to hold them back and prevent them from retreating.
Opportunity!"
"After the battle in the direction of Touguan Town is over, we must immediately reinforce this place and kill the Eighth Route Army blocking troops with me!"
In the Japanese and puppet stronghold of Touguan Town, all the Japanese and puppet troops did not rest. All the bullets were loaded and they stayed in the barracks, ready to be dispatched at any time.
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly, the sound of a string of artillery shells streaking across the sky sounded on the battlefield.
"Boom boom boom~"
The Japanese and puppet troops staying in the barracks opened their mouths and were still in shock, when a violent explosion rang in their ears.
"On Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack. Everyone must enter the position and be sure to block their bottom line fortifications. We have two groups of reinforcements outside. We will definitely be able to hold the stronghold and kill the Eighth Route Army who are preparing to attack us!" scattered in the area!
The officer among the Japanese and puppet troops shouted loudly.
Then he rushed out of the barracks and headed towards his own position.
"Boom boom boom..."
Violent explosions and thunder continued to sound on the battlefield.
As the Japanese and puppet troops rushed towards their positions, some people were constantly blown over by the fireballs rising into the air, and then fell to the ground.
The newly formed fifth battalion, the independent fifth battalion, is equipped with a total of four infantry guns and six mortars, plus a mountain artillery company reinforced by Jin Kai with six mountain cannons, for a total of sixteen artillery pieces. The shells are free of charge.
Artillery shells were dropped at the Japanese and puppet stronghold in Touguan Town.
Soon, Touguan Zhenfeng, shrouded in darkness, was bombarded with lights!
The Japanese troops lurking a few kilometers away did not wait for the reconnaissance troops to report, but violent explosions told them that the Eighth Route Army had begun to attack.
"The troops will set off immediately. The target is the Touguan Town stronghold that is under attack. Launch an assault directly from behind the Eighth Route Army. Try to defeat them with one attack and end the battle quickly!" a Japanese captain ordered arrogantly.
More than a thousand Japanese soldiers, carrying rifles, heavy machine guns and mortars, rushed out of the hiding position like hungry wolves.
At the newly established fifth battalion position, Battalion Commander Zhang held up his binoculars and looked at the battlefield with furrowed brows.
Before he was transferred to the new regiment, he didn't know how luxurious the new regiment's equipment was.
Although the old soldier is also a battalion commander, the whole battalion only has more than 300 people.
At the beginning, the battalion did not have one heavy machine gun and only four light machine guns. After one year of development, the total strength of the battalion was directly expanded to 450 people. There were also two heavy machine guns and each light machine gun.
The standard of an infantry platoon.
In his eyes, such equipment was already very luxurious in his old army. However, it was only in the new regiment that he saw what real luxury was.
A full battalion of more than 800 people has six heavy machine guns, three mortars, two infantry guns, one light machine gun for each platoon, and one grenade launcher for each platoon. All squad leaders are equipped with double guns.
Equip a submachine gun with a rifle, and all cadres above the platoon leader should be equipped with pistols!
Such luxurious equipment is completely worth a regiment of the old army.
As the battalion commander of such a main force battalion, even though he still wears the hat of battalion commander on his head, Battalion Commander Zhang already regards himself as the regiment commander.
In the past six months, I lost two battles in a row because of the betrayal of the mole. Now that the mole has been eliminated, I have the opportunity to clear my name. Battalion Commander Zhang can't even say he's not nervous!"
