Chapter 469: Rushing to the Western Front

();

"Tuanza, what do you mean, are you planning to lead our Tiger Ben Regiment to the aid of the Western Front?"

Adjutant Wang Gui seemed to hear Yang Chen's intentions, so as soon as Yang Chen's words fell, he asked directly.

"Hmm!"

Yang Chen nodded: "As a defender, our western front, northern front and eastern front seem to be separated, but in fact, they are not.

We are a whole, because no matter that line of defense is broken, the Japanese army can drive straight into the city of Taiyuan, and then the other two defense areas will not have much strategic significance.

Therefore, I intend to rush to the Western Front with the reconnaissance battalion, the second, third, fourth, cavalry, and machine-gun battalions!

The 1st Battalion, 5th Battalion, Artillery Battalion, and Sharpshooter Battalion were left to be responsible for the defense of our Eastern Front.

In addition, the baggage battalion, tank and combat vehicle battalion, etc., serve as reserve troops.

Among them, Wang Gui is the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, and Liao Yong is the deputy commander-in-chief of the battlefield! ”

"Tuanza! The one responsible for the main attack on our eastern front is a permanent division of the Japanese army!

Its combat effectiveness is only stronger than the Japanese offensive troops on the other two routes.

If the Japanese army learns that you are leading your army to support the Western Front, they may take the opportunity to launch a general attack on us.

You should know the combat effectiveness of a division of the Japanese army.

Even our entire Tiger Regiment together is extremely weak to deal with, and if only such a small number of troops are left, it may be difficult to hold this position.

At that time, your support will lose its original meaning! ”

Wang Gui has always been very confident, but at this moment, he actually said the words of the majesty of the long devil and the destruction of his morale, which can be imagined as the pressure and worry in his heart.

"Yes, Tuanza, you're not here, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on."

Liao Yong, the deputy battalion commander, also frowned, with a worried face.

"Don't worry, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army has been frightened by our Tiger Regiment, and its division commander Matsui is even more cowardly, so I expect that he will never dare to take the initiative to attack us.

In addition, just in case, during this time, I produced another batch of white phosphorus bombs.

At the moment, it is stored in the baggage warehouse, and the number is not very large, about 500 pieces, but it is enough to correspond to the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.

During this time, you don't need to attack, you just need to hold your ground.

If they don't believe in evil and dare to take the initiative to stir up trouble, then use this thing against them.

In addition, these white phosphorus bombs are the strategic weapons of our Tiger Regiment, and it is more threatening to keep them than to use them.

Therefore, do not waste it unless you have to! ”

The reason why Yang Chen dared to hand over the position on the Eastern Front to Wang Gui with peace of mind was not only because the Japanese 4th Division was not able to fight at all, but also because there was a very important reason, that is, when he had just sorted out his personal space, he found that there were some white phosphorus bomb exchange cards of different calibers in it.

Each exchange card, plus 100 merit points, can be exchanged for 10 white phosphorus bombs in the system shop.

White phosphorus bomb, this is a strategic weapon that Yang Chen dreams of.

Therefore, Yang Chen didn't say a word, and exchanged all these exchange cards into white phosphorus bombs, a total of more than 800, leaving 500 for Wang Gui.

"White phosphorus bombs, is this the kind of artillery shells that were used to deal with the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army when they were in Black Tiger Gorge?"

Liu Zheping, the commander of the first battalion, participated in that battle, and he still remembers the lethality of the white phosphorus bomb, so when he heard Yang Chen, the regimental seat, mention the white phosphorus bomb, he came to his senses.

"Hmm!"

After receiving Yang Chen's affirmative reply from Tuanzuo, Liu Zheping was overjoyed: "Don't worry, Tuanza, with these 500 white phosphorus bombs, I promise to hold this position!" ”

"Well, if there are so many white phosphorus bombs, it is not impossible to hold the position."

Wang Gui also nodded thoughtfully.

Although he did not personally participate in the battle of Black Tiger Gorge, he heard about it from Liu Zheping and others.

The battle was so tragic, in the end, if it weren't for the soldiers of the 358th Regiment led by Chu Tuanzuo to arrive in time to support, I was afraid that Yang Chen would have to explain there, and there would be no current Tiger Bun Regiment.

"In that case, then the defense of this place will be left to you!"

Yang Chen gave a simple explanation, and then began to deploy troops and generals to support the positions on the Western Front.

In a short time, more than 3,000 officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion, the second, third, and fourth battalions, the cavalry battalion, and the machine-gun battalion, all of whom were assembled and on standby.

The positions on the western front were mainly concentrated in Niushou Mountain, 40 miles west of Taiyuan City.

The straight-line distance from the Tiger Ben Regiment is about 80 miles, but the actual marching distance is more than 120 miles.

After the whole army was assembled, Yang Chen immediately said to Xu Mingdao, the commander of the second battalion, and Li Da, the commander of the third battalion, and others: "Xu Ming, Li Da, the military situation is urgent, and the battlefield situation is changing in an instant, just in case, I decided to take the reconnaissance battalion and the cavalry battalion as a rapid march, and rush to Niushou Mountain on the Western Front first, and you lead the other 4 battalions to come as soon as possible!"

Xu Ming, Li Da and others patted their chests and promised: "Don't worry, the regiment seat is 120 miles away, and it will take 5 hours to march urgently, and you will definitely arrive!"

Mingqian Town leads to Niushou Mountain, and there are no big mountains and lakes in between, which can be described as a flat river, and there is a wide official road for conduct.

In addition, the Tiger Ben Regiment has the blessing of the Powerful Pill, so if you march in a hurry, you should be able to arrive in 5 hours.

Yang Chen nodded approvingly: "Then I'll go first, see you in Niushou Mountain!" After speaking, he immediately turned his head and shouted: "The reconnaissance battalion, the cavalry battalion listen to the order, follow me to the aid of Niushou Mountain!" Arrive within 3 hours!"

With that, Yang Chen waved his horsewhip violently, and the war horse under his crotch was in pain, and suddenly neighed, spread his four hooves and galloped forward.

"Order!" Xu Hailang, Zhao Dequan and other soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion and cavalry battalion responded in unison, and immediately rode their horses and led their troops to follow Yang Chen in the direction of Niushou Mountain in the west.

The reconnaissance battalion and the cavalry battalion were all cavalry, 120 miles away, and it was not a big problem to arrive in 3 hours.

……

Niushou Mountain, nearly 60 miles from north to south, is located 40 miles away from the west of Taiyuan City, and is the western barrier of Taiyuan City.

Because the main peak resembles a huge bull's head, it is named Niushou Mountain.

The 108th Division of the Japanese Army, as can be seen from the number, does not belong to the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, but is an ad hoc division formed with reserve forces.

But in fact, because his troops are all reserve troops from the 1st Division in Tokyo, he belongs to the out-and-out veteran of the Kwantung Army.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and since entering the Chinese battlefield, it has been used by the Japanese side as the main division.

Moreover, it can also be seen from the structure that the 108th Division has two field infantry brigades and four main infantry wings, and the troops directly under the division are also equipped according to the A division.

Therefore, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the 108th Division may not be as good as the 17 main permanent divisions of the Japanese army, but it will definitely not be too different.
