Chapter 702: Temporary Downsizing of the Tiger Regiment! (3rd Update!) )
Yang Chen is so smart, through the change in Wen Xiansheng's expression just now, he has already guessed his inner thoughts, so he gritted his back molars and said awe-inspiringly: "Needless to say, the loss we suffered this time will definitely be repaid ten times and a hundred times by the little devil!"
"Hmm!"
Wen Xiansheng nodded heavily, and his eyes became sharp. Flash Dance
Originally, his five battalions were the most complete of the five infantry battalions of the Huben Regiment, but in the battle after Yang Chen's break, his five battalions were completely disabled.
The entire five battalions, at this time, followed to Laowang Village, there were less than 100 people.
Of the four company commanders under his command, three also died.
With such an uncommon hatred, how could he not repay Wen Xiansheng?
Yang Chen stretched out his right hand and patted Wen Xiansheng on the shoulder.
Then he instructed Xu Hailang and Chen Ming: "Xu Hailang, Chen Ming!" The two of you, each with a small force, will go separately to reconnoiter the traces of the devils.
I will lead the main force of the regiment to move to Yangcheng in the south, and we will wait for you in Yangcheng!"
"Yes!" Xu Hailang and Chen Ming stiffened their bodies, and agreed in unison.
……
After the Tiger Ben regiment withdrew to Yangcheng, after statistics, there were less than 3,500 people left in the whole regiment.
This also included the doctors and nurses in the field hospital, as well as the brothers who were seriously wounded, and it was a huge loss!
It is worth mentioning that the backbone and structure of each battalion are still there, and they can be regarded as still having strength.
In addition, to Yang Chen's surprise, Huang Yibiao actually led his security team to Yangcheng to join him.
This point surprised him very much at that time, and at the same time, he had a high opinion of Huang Yibiao, the head of the security regiment.
For this reason alone, I am afraid that many generals of the Central Army may not be able to match him.
Although Huang Yibiao successfully broke through, there were less than 500 people left in the end.
But these 500 people are definitely the elite of the security regiment, and they can be regarded as having a certain combat effectiveness.
After discussion, Yang Chen officially decided to formally abolish the machine gun battalion and the sharpshooter battalion and merge them into a special service battalion.
The five main infantry battalions, also temporarily compressed, became three infantry battalions.
After a temporary downsizing and reorganization, the current structure of the Huben Regiment is as follows: three infantry battalions, one special service battalion, one cavalry battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, one baggage battalion, one tank and combat vehicle battalion, and one special operations brigade.
Personnel adjustments were also made, with Guan Sanliu appointed commander of the special service battalion and Li Jiufu appointed deputy commander of the special service battalion.
Jiang Wenqiang served as the deputy commander of the first battalion, and Rong Hao and Wen Xiansheng temporarily served as the deputy commanders of the fourth and fifth battalions.
The rest of the personnel remain unchanged.
After a simple integration of the three infantry battalions, there were about 600 men each.
There are probably less than 400 people left in the artillery battalion.
The rest of the battalions suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Zhoukou, and the remaining forces were in between.
There are still about 70 people in the special operations brigade.
The total strength of the regiment plus the Ministry of Communications is more than 3,400 people.
Huang Yibiao's security corps does not count.
This is all the existing forces in Yang Chen's hands.
Although Yangcheng is also a county seat, its scale is also a slightly larger town.
Not even the city walls.
Coupled with its remote location, there were no regular troops stationed here at all.
Previously, there were only more than 200 armed forces in the nature of local security forces, but when Zhoukou was attacked by a large number of devils, they scattered and fled without a trace.
The people fled, and the vacant houses also became temporary barracks for the Tiger Ben Regiment. 35xs
As a result, the Tiger Ben Regiment was able to successfully enter the station.
After completing the reorganization, Yang Chen took the troops to rest in the county seat, while waiting for the news of the reconnaissance troops.
"Tuanzao, the news of the loss of Zhoukou, do you want to tell the war zone commander's department?" Liao Yong, the deputy head of the regiment, found Yang Chen and asked.
Yang Chen thought for a moment and said: "Let's tell it, so that they can strengthen the defense of the Pinghan Line, especially the Luohe River and Xuchang area!"
"However, if it is reported that Zhoukou is lost, will the Military Commission, as well as the theater of operations, hold us accountable for the loss of Zhoukou?" The second lieutenant on the side raked his ears a little worried.
"I can't take care of so much, if we don't report it, it will lead to the lack of timely fortification above.
If the Japanese army moves westward and smashes Xuchang, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Saying this, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and from the inside out, there was an invisible evil aura exuding from his body, and he snorted coldly: "As for it, hold us accountable."
What qualifications do they have?
Do they have less land to lose? ”
"That is, who is qualified to hold my Tiger Regiments accountable?"
Everyone was infected by Yang Chen's momentum, and they all opened their mouths to respond, expressing their complete agreement and support for Yang Chen's views.
As a result, the Tiger Ben Regiment sent a telegram from Yao Zhiqing to report the news of the loss of Zhoukou and the causes and consequences of this incident to the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department.
…………
The picture pulls to the headquarters of the commander of the fifth theater.
"Sir, the Tiger Ben Regiment is in an emergency!" An adjutant looked hurried, came to General Li Delin, who was holding a military meeting, and stood up to salute.
"What's the matter?" General Li Delin sat at the head of the conference table and asked when he heard the sound.
The adjutant looked at everyone present and hesitated, after all, the loss of Zhoukou was unfavorable news.
Announcing it openly is likely to have a number of negative consequences.
After thinking about it, he still walked over, bowed his head and reported the matter to General Li Delin.
After hearing the news, General Li Delin's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Everyone present was a little chilled.
All the officers who knew General Li Delin knew in their hearts that looking at his expression, it was estimated that something had happened again.
Sure enough, General Li Delin suddenly stood up, and said in a deep voice with a dark face: "The meeting is dismissed!" Jiansheng, come with me to my office. ”
A moment later, Bai Jiansheng came to General Li Delin's office.
I saw that General Li Delin was sitting behind the desk with a solemn face, not angry and arrogant.
Bai Jian boldly asked, "Duke De, what happened?"
"Zhoukou is lost!" General Li Delin said angrily.
"What? Zhoukou was lost?" General Bai Jiansheng was taken aback.
Because the one who guards Zhoukou is the tiger group.
And the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Regiment has also been completely tested on the battlefield.
At the behest of General Li Delin, the adjutant sent the telegram he received to Bai Jiansheng.
After reading it, Bai Jiansheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, the little devil actually mobilized so many troops, and also dispatched a heavy artillery brigade, a tank and combat vehicle wing, plus the Japanese army's aviation unit, it is no wonder that the Tiger Regiment was so strong in combat that it could not hold it in the end.
But shock is shock, and that's not what they have to think about now.
Yang Chen failed to hold Zhoukou, which led to the opening of the Pinghan Railway Portal, and put hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth and First Theaters in danger of falling into the encirclement of the Japanese army.
However, if it weren't for Yang Chen's army to arrive in time, I am afraid that Zhoukou would have fallen long ago.
The little devil has long gone further.
Therefore, no matter what, Yang Chen and his Tiger Regiment can be regarded as buying a little time for the army in the war zone.
As for the previous military order, the Tiger Ben Regiment was to hold on to Zhoukou for a week.
Don't make a fuss, okay?
In the face of such a strong strength of the little devil, not to mention that the Tiger Ben Regiment only has a few thousand troops, even if it is tens of thousands of troops in other troops, it may not be able to hold it for a longer time.
No one would punish Yang Chen and his tiger group for the fall of Zhoukou.
Because as Yang Chen said, is there still less land lost by other troops?
There is an even more important reason, in order to gather the hearts and prestige of the people, to raise the people's determination to resist Japan, to unite the strength of the masses, and to enhance the confidence of the army and the people in resisting Japan.
Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan have long been propagated by the propaganda agency of the Nationalist Government as a national anti-Japanese god of war and an invincible and invincible heroic army.
Among the people of the country, they have been mythologized.
Now if you lose because of the loss of Zhoukou, you will punish Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan.
That's the same as lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, slapping yourself, or the kind of snapping.
What's more, the Tiger Ben Regiment has made so many immortal battles before!
Therefore, Bai Jiansheng also knew very well what the real reason for General Li Delin to come to him was.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to speak: "Degong, I don't think you need to be so alarmed. ”
