Chapter seven hundred and seventy-two bold chief of staff
The commander finally agreed to Wang Ping's request.
Just as the whole new regiment was enveloped in the excitement of seizing a large amount of equipment and ammunition, in Linfen City dozens of kilometers away, the brigade commander, Major General Matsumoto, was furious at the brigade headquarters regardless of his identity.
"General, the troops reinforcing the military column reported that the road was destroyed when they were still ten kilometers away from the battlefield. At present, the troops have abandoned their cars and are marching to reinforce the military column, trying to save all the equipment and supplies on the military column!" Chief of Staff
He lowered his head and answered with a very serious tone.
Because, just now, the headquarters had lost contact with the escort on the military column.
This means that the escort on the military column is either completely destroyed or the radio is broken.
And as long as no accidents occur, the possibility of the former one is obviously much greater.
Not to mention this, just now, the railway garrison stronghold that he relied on also lost contact.
The radio stations they equipped are all hidden in the gun towers. There is no chance that the radio stations will be destroyed unless the gun towers are directly bombed. And if the gun towers are gone, the stronghold will definitely be destroyed.
"Let them speed up. They must reach the battlefield in one and a half hours, ten kilometers away!" Major General Matsumoto was in a bad mood and ordered with a frown.
Then he did not forget to add: "The military column guard and the railway garrison must be finished. The Eighth Route Army must be rushing to transport the equipment and supplies on our military column. There is absolutely no way they can transport all the equipment and supplies on our military column in an hour and a half."
After the troops arrived on the battlefield, they directly launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army and took back as much of our stolen supplies and equipment as they could. However, the reinforcements could not go deep into the Eighth Route Army base areas alone and could only move along the railway!
"
"Chief of Staff, doesn't Linfen City still have an exciting force? Let them set off to reinforce the battlefield!"
"The returning car took them directly to the battlefield. The Eighth Route Army is so cunning. I'm worried that they will attack our reinforcements!"
Zhong Chenggong really had this idea, even though he only had two companies of infantry at hand.
Because of the victory, the new regiment is now not only well-equipped, but also has several more radio stations.
Although they are all low-power radio stations, they are enough for Xinyi Tuan.
Before the attack began, Wang Ping sent the reconnaissance platoon directly under the regiment outside Linfen City.
As soon as a mixed group of Japanese soldiers left the city, Zhong Chenggong received the news.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Jin, I have an idea to eat the Japanese reinforcements. At the very least, I want to severely damage them. What do you think?"
When I was fighting in the Northwest Army, when faced with an attack by a mixed Japanese group, the main force had to assemble at least two regiments to stop them.
The chief of staff in front of him only had two companies in hand. Hearing that the Japanese had arrived in a mixed group, Jin Kai's first subconscious thought was how to use two companies to block the Japanese attack.
After the chief of staff said that he wanted to annihilate or severely injure the Japanese, Jin Kai suddenly reacted.
He found that he was thinking about battles with the inherent thinking he had when he was in the Northwest Army.
I am now in the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, with strong combat effectiveness and well-equipped equipment. I am no longer the company commander of the Northwest Army with poor equipment.
According to the fighting style of the New Regiment, as long as the tactics are effective, it is really possible to annihilate the mixed brigade reinforced by the Japanese army.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied: "Chief of Staff, it's really possible!"
"Although we only have two companies of combat troops, we have three fire companies, one reinforced heavy machine gun company, one reinforced mortar company, and three infantry guns."
"A total of 26 mortars, 35 heavy machine guns, plus three infantry guns, and more than ten light machine guns. If a pocket array is prepared for the devils, and all heavy weapons can use their firepower advantages. I am sure,
It only takes one salvo to kill at least two hundred Japs..."
"Let's do it!" the chief of staff made a decisive decision.
Then he ordered the radio operator next to him: "Contact the reconnaissance platoon immediately. They must have someone following the Japanese reinforcements. I want to find out the specific marching formation of the Japanese reinforcements after they get off the bus!"
Major Yumada was the commander of the Japanese mixed brigade. Because the troops were marching in a hurry, they had just traveled less than half an hour after leaving the car. The entire troop, including himself, became out of breath.
However, after thinking of the murderous order sent by the brigade commander, Major General Matsumoto, even though he was very tired, he could only grit his teeth and continue urging his subordinates to speed up.
"Boom...ta-da-da..." Suddenly, a faint sound of gunshots and explosions reached my ears.
Major Yun Tian, who was exhausted just now, suddenly became energetic!
"Yo Xi, there is still fighting on the military column. The military column has not yet fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. The troops should speed up, rush to the battlefield, kill the Eighth Route Army attacking the military column, or at least repel them!"
There is another reason why Major Yun Tian is so happy.
When the Eighth Route Army has not yet captured its ranks, even if it sends troops to reinforce and block itself, it will only be part of its strength.
But once the Eighth Route Army takes over the ranks, it will be different. They can concentrate all their troops and firepower to deal with themselves.
At that time, it will definitely be difficult for him to fight his way to the battlefield.
Therefore, he must seize the time to break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops and reach the battlefield before the Eighth Route Army takes over the column.
In this way, you can achieve the maximum results at the minimum cost.
The tired Japs ran faster and faster under the constant urging of Major Yumada. At first, they could keep up with the mortar squadron, heavy machine gun squadron, and infantry artillery squadron, but slowly began to fall behind!
"Sir, some people in the army have started to fall behind. Can you slow down a little and let them catch up first?"
"No!" Major Yuntian refused without hesitation.
In order to minimize the losses of the entire mixed brigade, he would never compromise.
After a moment of hesitation, he ordered: "We divide our forces and advance: I will lead two infantry squadrons and a cavalry squad first, break through the interception of the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops before they take over the column, and launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops when we reach the battlefield!"
"You follow up with the follow-up troops, arrive at the battlefield, and join the battle directly."
The adjutant immediately reminded: "But, sir, the brigade commander has repeatedly told us that we cannot divide our troops!"
Major Yun Tian ordered without hesitation: "Execute the order. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible for it!"
"This place is less than five kilometers away from the battlefield. Even if we divide our troops, the maximum distance between the two troops will not exceed one kilometer. They can completely reinforce each other!"
"Also, the Eighth Route Army has not even taken down its columns. Do you think they still have troops to ambush us?"
On a hilltop less than a kilometer away from the military column, a soldier from the reconnaissance platoon rushed over panting.
Before he could take a breath, he reported: "Chief of Staff, the Japs have divided their forces..."
"Two infantry squadrons and a cavalry squad rushed in front, very fast. The other Japs followed, only two kilometers away from here!"
Zhong Chenggong first frowned, and then his eyes shot out two rays of light.
"Immediately adjust the deployment. This is what God has given us. The Japanese take the initiative to rush over and die. We have to agree!"
