Although Taijun was following behind, the large army led by Captain Huang still walked slowly. No one wanted to rush to Baiyangshu Village. By the time they arrived at Baiyangshu Village, the blocking positions had basically been dug.
, this was the first time that the Third Battalion had a head-on battle with this group of Japanese.
"Report! The puppet troops in the county are already two kilometers away and are coming soon!"
"okay, I get it."
The battalion commander has made preparations in advance. Regarding this battle, tactical requirements and tips have been repeatedly requested. The troops used for insertion are waiting for orders in the rear. This time they must completely surround and eat the enemy.
Military.
"Report! A large group of Japs has been dispatched from the county town. Their whereabouts are unknown! They are carrying two artillery pieces."
Before we could take a breath, a big piece of news came and everyone had to be cautious.
"Damn, we're all here today!"
The battalion commander slapped the mound in front of him hard, because he had no confidence to defend this place. Several hundred puppet troops plus a large group of Japanese soldiers could swallow up the entire third battalion.
"Chief of Staff, according to the intelligence in the regiment, a large group of Japanese soldiers has been dispatched from behind. The combined number of the two parties is about 1,450. The leading troops are already less than one kilometer away from us, and the troops behind are temporarily
No news yet.”
Han Cheng was actually shocked when he heard the news. The terrain in Baiyangshu Village was not that good. If there were only four or five hundred puppet troops, they might be able to fight. However, with the addition of a large group of Japs, it would be difficult.
It's not easy to deal with anymore.
"Hmm...how long do we want to quickly eat this unit? Can we eat it before the large group of Japanese soldiers from behind come over?"
"I don't know, and I can't guarantee it."
There was already chaos within the regiment. No one expected that a large group of Japanese soldiers would be dispatched. Their whereabouts are unknown, but they are still investigating.
"This is forcing the third battalion to fight them decisively!"
"yes."
The regiment leader looked at the map. The puppet army was marked on the map. All the investigators in the regiment had been sent out in order to find this army.
"It hasn't been long since the Battle of Taiyuan ended. A big battle is about to begin again. It's still a tough battle. If you're not careful, the entire regiment will be wiped out."
The large group of Japanese troops marched much faster than the rabble in front. At least they had to stop and rest in order to ensure there was some distance in between.
"Major, we have 8 kilometers to go to Baiyangshu Village. Do we want to continue moving forward?"
"What's the distance between us and the front team?"
"We are 5 kilometers behind them."
The major took the map and looked at it, then looked at the surrounding environment.
"Everyone rest and wait for orders at any time."
What this team is waiting for is for the battle ahead to start completely, and then their ambush soldier will immediately join the battle, striving to completely capture Baiyangshu Village and the team that has repeatedly caused trouble in one go.
"Have you found that unit?"
"No!"
At this time, the regiment commander had assembled all the troops of the first and second battalions, waiting at any time to deploy troops to compete with the Japanese if the battle ahead deteriorated. However, he could not find the missing troop and did not dare to act rashly.
"Now it can be clearly determined that the Japs from that brigade are probably heading towards the Third Battalion. This is a big deal!"
The political commissar marked the location of the Third Battalion with a pencil and sent people to the surrounding areas, but there is no news yet.
"One artillery squad and two mountain cannons are really a big deal."
Among the teams carrying heavy weapons, how many teams dare to step forward and fight head-on? The team leader also has a headache now. Even if the whole team goes up, it may be difficult to directly compete.
"How long can the first and second battalions go up and hold off that brigade?"
"...I don't know, maybe an hour."
Han Cheng's troops are also making arrangements intensively. The trench fortifications they have dug now have all been said to have failed after the arrival of a large group of Japanese soldiers from behind. They must either fight quickly or wait until a large group of Japanese soldiers arrive to fight them.
A war of attrition, or just running away without fighting.
"Now our fortifications can no longer be used. There is a large group of Japanese soldiers waiting for us to enter the battlefield after we start fighting, ready to eat us in one go. We must fight quickly this time, otherwise we will not be able to escape at all.
.”
The battalion commander is also very troubled by this situation. The original abacus was well thought out, but now it has become a dead end.
"I suggest we move. Now we have no way to fight the Japanese army. If we drag the main force over, we will be dead. Anyway, Baiyangshu Village has been moved now, and we won't suffer much loss if we withdraw."
As the chief of staff, Han Cheng must adopt a very prudent approach, otherwise no one will be able to bear the heavy losses of the troops.
"I'm not willing to give in!"
The battalion commander punched the map and shook his head helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance. The main thing now is to ensure the team's combat effectiveness. The people in the village have already evacuated in advance, so there is nothing to worry about if we leave."
"Well... give the order, withdraw!"
Those who were studying nearby also packed up their things and evacuated quickly. Ten minutes later, the trenches filled with soldiers were already empty. The only ones left might be a few soldiers who were inserted in the trenches to delay time.
scarecrow.
"Who would have thought that we would put so much effort into performing an empty city strategy? Alas... what a pity."
People who came here to study originally thought they could see a real battle, but it turned out to be such an unlucky thing.
"Look, are we going back? I guess this is going to be a big deal. We are going sideways. As you watch, we will definitely look for opportunities to annihilate the retreating group.
It’s a puppet army.”
Han Cheng and the battalion commander did not make this plan. Instead, they planned to make a detour and raid the Japanese brigade behind them. Because the Japanese brigade carried heavy weapons, it was not easy to move quickly, especially with two mountain cannons.
, must be destroyed.
"At that time, we will try our best to shoot with volley guns. This way, more bullets will be fired, and the fire suppression will be very fierce. Then we will divide the troops and use two different positions to attack and harass them, so that they can't move away, and they can't be hit.
.”
This is just a theory on paper, but in actual operation it still needs to be seen whether the battalion commander adopts it.
"Commander! Report to the regiment that the third battalion has withdrawn from the advance position. It is expected to assemble 10 kilometers north of Baiyangshu Village, waiting for an opportunity to raid the Japanese brigade, destroy the Japanese artillery squad, and then disperse and evacuate."
Han Cheng didn't dare to forget. He had to report all his plans in real time, so that his superiors could have time to deploy troops to expand the results or transfer troops. After receiving the order, the messenger left quickly with a gun. If there was a
As for the radio station, just send the message directly, so there is no need to do this.
The regiment is also waiting for news. The first and second battalions are already on the move and ready to go into battle at any time. At this time in Hancheng, everyone is marching in a hurry. The results of the training have already been highlighted at this time. The five-kilometer rush march is rapid.
They opened a gap with the Japanese army, then turned and started heading towards the predetermined location.
