It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, which was entrenched in Shanxi, also became the target of the Japanese army's sweep and purge.

At first, the Japanese offensive appeared disorganized and confused the divisions.

All the subordinates subconsciously thought that this was just a sweep from the Japanese puppet, so they all chose to avoid its edge.

Plus China. There was already a huge gap between the combat effectiveness of the army and the Japanese army, so the Japanese army marched forward all the way, and soon completed its initial strategic deployment like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

After driving the main forces of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army to the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the Japanese army, which felt that it was safe to win, suddenly dispatched together and attacked the Zhongtiao Mountain area from the east, west, and north "in a pincer shape with a central breakthrough".

At this time, the garrison units finally realized the seriousness of the situation and saw the conspiracy of the Japanese army.

According to the intelligence, the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater of Operations attacked our communications and liaison and headquarters at all levels in response to the combined attack of the Japanese army, and captured all the key points of communication with heavy troops, cut off the communication of our army, and broke them all by one; Blockade mountain passes and ferries, gradually tighten the encirclement, and complete the attempt to combine attacks.

Before the battle, the commander of the Israeli theater, Yan Laoxi, ordered all units to take the communication line as the target and step up guerrilla raids to disrupt the enemy's plan and gain time for the defenders to build a defensive line.

However, many countries. The generals of the army all had their own petty Jiujiu, and the above orders could not be effectively organized and implemented, so that on the second day of the battle, due to the drastic changes in the situation, the enemy came extremely fiercely.

The Theater Commander's Headquarters had no choice but to change the battle plan and strictly ordered all units to do their best to maintain the current situation and not allow the situation to continue to deteriorate.

Crush the Japanese army's attempt to eat Nakajo Mountain, and lure the enemy into a favorable area, turn to the offensive, and flank it.

The various units hurriedly responded to the situation and engaged the Japanese troops from all walks of life, and the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain officially began.

……

At this time, due to the annihilation of the reconnaissance battalion in the battle of Sunset Ridge, the intelligence system of the Tiger Ben Regiment had not yet been completed.

Therefore, Yang Chen, who was dormant in Lingchuan, didn't know all this.

On this day, he was inspecting the training of new recruits at the school grounds.

Although the Tiger Ben Regiment did not openly recruit soldiers, they were informed of the number of the unit soon after joining the Tiger Ben Regiment.

After learning that he had joined the Tiger Ben Regiment, a heroic unit admired by the world, all the recruits were excited and couldn't help themselves.

Training that's called a hard work.

The recruits who were the first to enlist in the army have been training for more than half a month, and their fighting and marksmanship have been greatly improved. Military veterans are all more than equal.

First, many countries. The reason why soldiers join the army is completely to eat a full meal, they have no faith of their own, and the training is also a matter of coping.

In addition, the commanders at all levels filled their pockets and deducted military salaries, and many soldiers could not even eat enough.

leads to malnutrition, where there is excess physical training.

Needless to say, there are no extra bullets on the battlefield, let alone live-fire training.

The Tiger Regiment is different, in order to let the recruits have enough combat effectiveness to compete with the little devils as soon as possible, the shooting training is all taken with live ammunition.

In just half a month, these recruits have fired more bullets than many countries. There is still a lot of life for a soldier.

Marksmanship naturally improved very quickly.

At the same time, in order to make the recruits' bodies withstand high-intensity training, the Tiger Bentuan, which has a big family, is not stingy, and has meat and white-flour steamed buns every day.

After half a month of training, many recruits not only did not lose weight, but gained weight, and became stronger and stronger.

Faith, needless to say.

The three words 'Tiger Bentuan' are enough to mobilize all their passion and enthusiasm!

At the edge of the school field, Yang Chen, who had been patrolling around, leaned on the edge of a big tree, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it.

I wondered if I would pull this group of recruits out for a combat training.

Because he knows that there is not much time left for these recruits to grow.

Pure ordinary training does not have much meaning, and if you want to transform into a qualified battlefield veteran, you must go through the baptism of death and blood.

At this time, the rake ears suddenly rushed over at a trot from the direction of the regimental headquarters.

After a salute, he reported: "Tuanza! The special operations team called, saying that there was a Japanese army, and they suddenly killed it from the direction of Binh Thuan. ”

"Oh?"

The corners of Yang Chen's mouth twitched, this was really just dozing off, and someone sent a pillow over.

Then he asked, "How many troops does this enemy army have?" What is the purpose? ”

"This is a Japanese cavalry unit, with a total number of about 1,500 people.

As for their purpose, it is not yet known.

However, according to Captain Chen's guess, it is very likely that he is coming for my tiger group. ”

"No!"

Yang Chen shook his head: "If this devil cavalry is coming at us, it will underestimate my tiger regiment."

Also, in modern warfare, how can there be cavalry charging into battle, isn't this sending cavalry out as a live target?

Therefore, it is very likely that this cavalry passed through Lingchuan.

It just so happened that Zhao Dequan's kid hadn't been clamoring to rebuild the cavalry battalion, but he was suffering from no war horses?

No, the little devil is sending warmth to the countryside and sending us war horses. ”

"Let's go, let's go back to headquarters!"

After Yang Chen took a sharp breath, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and then turned around and rushed back towards the headquarters.

……

The headquarters of the Tiger Ben Regiment was a self-built wooden house, and two long wooden tables were put together to form a conference table.

There is a sand table on the conference table, which encompasses almost the entire terrain of Lingchuan.

In normal times, Wang Gui and Liu Zheping, the main military commanders, deduced tactics here.

Next to the conference table, there are several long benches.

Not long after Yang Chen returned to the headquarters, the rest of the people also rushed over one after another.

After everyone sat down, Yang Chen looked around, and then briefly recounted the news from the special operations team, and asked: "I dragged the recruits out and trained my hands with this devil cavalry, what do you think?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Dequan, the commander of the cavalry battalion, couldn't wait to say: "It's necessary!" The little devil must have known that we were going to rebuild the cavalry battalion, so he sent us war horses.

If we don't accept this gift, wouldn't we be sorry for the filial piety of the little devil? ”

Everyone else gave him a blank look, and Li Jiufu said: "Zhao Dequan, you can't let us out, and the benefits are all taken away by your cavalry battalion, right?" ”

"Hey! I said Li Jiufu, I don't like to hear you say this.

What do you mean that all the benefits are taken away by my cavalry battalion? Didn't the group say that they would practice with this gang of little devils?

So, wouldn't it be good for you all to take the opportunity to train your recruits? ”

Li Jiufu still wanted to refute, but found that what Zhao Dequan said seemed to be so reasonable.

Good boy, when did you become so sharp-toothed?
