In the face of the invading devil army, some militia companies and guerrillas tried to stop it.

As a result, because the gap between the strength of the enemy and us was too large, they were easily defeated and eliminated by the Japanese army.

The station of the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army is based on a small village called Shanyang Village as the core area, where the regiment headquarters and the first battalion are stationed.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Battalions, as well as reconnaissance companies and teaching companies directly under the regiment, were stationed in several villages in front of Shanyang Village.

Because the army of devils was under the remote command of Okamura Ninji, they marched at great speed. Yes, wait until the main force of the independent regiment gets the news.

Some of the vanguard units of the devils have already attacked the vicinity of the garrisons of the second, third, and fourth battalions.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, reconnaissance companies, teaching companies, and other troops did not have time to ask the regiment headquarters for instructions, so they exchanged fire with the intruding little devils.

Fortunately, they had received a large amount of advanced weapons and equipment from Yang Chen, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of each battalion.

For a time, it frustrated the spirit of the devil's vanguard team, and also won a certain respite for the regiment headquarters.

However, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking.

It is the existence of these weapons that makes the little devils firmly determine their identity as "Tiger Ben Regiment".

Because they have also done a lot of research on the New Fourth Army, although this army is also extremely difficult to deal with.

But it's not because of how strong they are and how advanced their equipment is.

It's just because they're so cunning that they never go head-to-head with the Imperial Army.

If you go after him, he will run away, and if you give up the pursuit, he will turn back and attack you.

Annoying!

However, the weapons and equipment of the New Fourth Army are not good, and they are not looked at by the little devils at all.

At present, this army has all kinds of mountain artillery in its hands, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns.

If it's not a tiger group, who else can it be?

So, under the orders of the commanders of the 3rd and 6th divisions of the Japanese army, the devil's army began to march towards this side at the fastest speed.

Due to the great disparity between the enemy's forces and the sudden arrival of the enemy, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions and other troops finally could not hold on, and in the battle, they paid heavy casualties, and finally had to abandon their station.

Move closer to Shanyang Village.

Shanyang Village, the regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army.

Yan Tianzhong, Tong Lingshu, Zhou Yun and others are urgently discussing countermeasures.

"The dog said, it's really evil! How can these little devils raised by bitches be the same as clairvoyants? Just went straight to our regimental headquarters? The regiment commander Yan Tianzhong was very puzzled, listening to the continuous emergency reports from the front, the two eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and they kept pacing back and forth in the regiment headquarters.

"The little devil can touch the location of our independent regiment so quickly and directly.

Then there is only one possibility, there must be spies who have infiltrated our base area! Deputy head Zhou Yun analyzed.

"This is very likely, the little devil is making rapid progress this time, and he is obviously prepared.

Last time in that mountain village, there were ghost spies who mixed in, and they also wanted to assassinate Camp Commander Xu of the Tiger Ben Regiment Reconnaissance Battalion. ”

After a pause, Chief of Staff Tong Lingshu continued to analyze: "Now the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, reconnaissance companies, and teaching companies have all been defeated!

The current situation is extremely urgent, and if one is not good, our independent regiment may be wiped out here.

And with our strength, it is difficult to confront the little devil head-on, so we must move as soon as possible and avoid the enemy for the time being! ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this time the little devil came prepared, and he didn't give us a chance to break through at all!" The head of the regiment, Yan Tianzhong, stopped and said worriedly.

"Anyway, we have to give it a try, it's better than staying here and being beaten passively!" Tong Ling Shu said.

Deputy Head Zhou Yun's eyes froze, as if he thought of something, and said violently: "Why don't we contact Yang Chen's Tiger Bun Regiment, when we were separated last time, didn't Captain Yang say that if there is a difficulty, he will definitely help?"

Moreover, just because he gave me so many weapons and equipment for free last time.

It can be determined that this person is absolutely true to his word, and he must be as rumored in the market, dedicated to the country, without any faction! ”

Although Yang Chen said last time, those weapons and equipment, as well as money, food and materials, were given to the new group on credit.

In fact, everyone, including Tong Lingshu, knows that this is just because Yang Chen can't save face because Tong Lingshu can't save face, and he takes into account the party's discipline.

Yang Chen had no choice but to make this decision, and the pretense of pulling it could be regarded as giving him a step.

Tong Lingshu's heart moved when he heard this, but he didn't rush to make a decision, but looked at the head of the regiment, Yan Tianzhong, and asked, "Old Yan, what do you think?" ”

"According to the information sent back from the front by the battalions, the strength of the devils this time is very strong, at least several times that of us.

And they have a clear purpose, it seems that they are here to destroy our independent group.

At the moment, I'm afraid it's hard to break through with our own strength, so I think we can try to ask the Tiger Ben Group for help! Yan Tianzhong thought about it, but decided to focus on the overall situation.

Moreover, his prejudice against Yang Chen has long been completely eliminated.

"Ministry of Communications, immediately contact the Tiger Regiment, inform Commander Yang of the emergency situation here, and ask him to send reinforcements!"

Tong Lingshu saw Yan Tianzhong nodding, so he had no worries, and immediately ordered the Ministry of Communications to send a message to Yang Chen for help.

…………

The picture pulls back to Yajiang Town.

The ambush positions of the Tiger Ben Regiment have been basically constructed under the full speed of repairs by the soldiers of the various battalions.

The little devils and puppet soldiers who drove from Huoshan County were also about to enter their ambush circle.

At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly walked along the trench and came to Yang Chen, the regimental seat who was inspecting the enemy situation in the forward trench.

Salute him and say: "Tuanza, the independent regiment of the New Fourth Army is calling!" ”

"What's the content?" At the moment of the war, Yang Chen did not take this call too seriously, but held a telescope and continued to observe the enemy's situation.

"The telegram said that they were surrounded and suppressed by at least tens of thousands of devils, and the situation was very critical, and I asked our Tiger Regiment to send reinforcements!" The Signal Soldier replied.

At that time, Liu Zheping, Xu Ming, and Li Da were all around Yang Chen, and they heard the communication soldier say this.

Liu Zheping, the commander of the first battalion, was also taken aback and said: "How can a devil target the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army? ”

"This is unknown for the time being, but if the situation of the independent regiment is not particularly critical, I think it will not ask us for help!" Yang Chen frowned, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

Xu Ming, the commander of the second battalion, said with a puzzled face: "Seeing that the fish is about to be hooked, the opportunity is rare, if you miss this time, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity next time."

Are we going to give up? ”

Li Da, the commander of the third battalion, answered: "If you give up at this time, you will not only lose a heavy blow, but even the opportunity to completely annihilate the defenders of Huoshan County.

It may also lead to our base area being counterattacked and encroached upon by the Japanese puppet army!

Moreover, most of my Tiger Regiment are now recruits who have never been on the battlefield, so it's useless to go! ”
