"Tuanza, do you know how many troops the little devil will send this time?"

After Xu Hailang pondered for a moment, he asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

According to the intelligence provided by the underground party, the 7th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army is stationed in the Xiuwu area, and the infantry brigade stationed in Xinxiang is subordinate to the 7th Independent Infantry Wing in the Xiuwu area.

After the annihilation of a brigade, the strength of this wing should be around 2,500 men.

In addition, there is a tank brigade of about 500 people. and a puppet legion, more than 2,000 puppet soldiers.

Therefore, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army in the Xiuwu area should be more than 5,000.

If nothing else, this group of Japanese puppet troops will definitely come out of the nest after completing the assembly. ”

"Shhh ——”

After listening to Yang Chen's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Xu Hailang obviously didn't expect that there would be so many enemy troops, frowned, and said: "Tuanzao, Xiuwu is just a small county, and in terms of its strategic position, it is even far inferior to Xinxiang, which is the Pinghan Railway.

How could there be so many devils and puppet soldiers stationed there? ”

Yang Chen explained with a wry smile: "Not only cultivating martial arts, but during this time, the entire North China region is increasing troops.

If nothing else, the little devil may be trying to deal with the increasingly powerful Eighth Route Army and the second war zone that leveled Shanxi in one fell swoop. ”

Yang Chen didn't expect that the devil would once again gather heavy troops in North China, otherwise, he would never have attacked Xinxiang so recklessly.

In the short term, taking Xinxiang did cause a lot of trouble for the little devils.

But in the long run, this is completely contrary to his plan.

After the battle of Jianghuai, the Tiger Ben Regiment has become full of vitality and urgently needs time to recuperate.

Taking Xinxiang now is equivalent to cutting off the main artery of the devil, and it also reveals his identity in advance.

In this way, the little devil will definitely carry out the most crazy encirclement and suppression of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

If the Tiger Bentuan wants to develop steadily, it is not so easy.

Moreover, Yang Chen expected that the devils and puppet army in the Xiuwu area were only the vanguard.

Soon, there will be more devils and puppet armies gathering here.

He's stabbed a hornet's nest!

Of course, there must be disadvantages in everything, and there are disadvantages and there must be advantages!

The strong return of the Tiger Regiment will inevitably disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, and in this way, it will be of great benefit to the Eighth Route Army and the Second Theater of Operations.

"More than 5000 enemy troops?"

Everyone's faces showed a solemn look, if it was an ordinary moment, let alone 5,000 enemy troops, even if there were 10,000 enemy troops, the Tiger Ben Regiment might not take it to heart.

But now, the Tiger Ben Regiment lacks major generals, is short of men and horses, and the losses of heavy weapons are extremely serious.

With all his might, he may be able to fight against these 5,000 enemy troops, but he will definitely kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself.

Yang Chen looked around, saw the solemn expressions of everyone, and said slowly: "What? Are you scared? ”

"I'm afraid of an egg!"

The hot-tempered Li Jiufu was the first to speak: "Tuanzao, don't talk about 5,000 troops, even if it is 50,000 troops, why should I be afraid of my tiger regiment?"

It's done! ”

"It's just, I'm afraid of an egg! If the little devil dares to come, let's fuck it! It was just delivered to the door, saving us from wasting time on the road. ”

Zhang Dali and Zhao Dequan echoed.

The rest of the people were solemn and frowned.

Xu Hailang, who was a little more thoughtful, looked at Yang Chen and asked, "Tuanza, but I don't know, your opinion?" ”

"Hit!"

When Yang Chen slowly spit out this word, everyone had no reason, and they all couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm.

After a while, Yang Chen's face was grim and continued: "Admit it, it's not the style of my tiger group!" Read good books

Besides, we have just taken Xinxiang, if we evacuate now, what will happen to those newly captured strategic materials?

Also, what about the people who volunteered to join the Tiger Bun Regiment?

They can evacuate with us, but what about their families?

Don't look at the local tyrants and inferior gentry now, one by one wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and take the initiative to offer to us.

I can tell you very responsibly that if we leave Xinxiang now, these guys will definitely take refuge in the little devils in the shortest possible time.

They may have no way to take us, but they have nowhere to vent, and they will definitely pour out all their anger on the villagers who support our Tiger Mission!

Therefore, for both public and private purposes, we must fight this battle! ”

After a pause, Yang Chen said again: "As I said earlier, the Japanese puppet army in the Xiuwu area is just the vanguard of the little devils.

However, it will definitely take a lot of time for the other devils to assemble.

So as long as we win this battle and eat this Japanese puppet army, we will have enough time to evacuate calmly! ”

After Yang Chen's analysis, everyone's fighting spirit became more and more intense.

Xu Hailang said again: "Tuanzuo, then you must already have a way to deal with it." ”

"Before attacking Xinxiang, I thought that the little devil would not give up.

However, I miscalculated the situation, I didn't expect the little devil's revenge to come so quickly and so fiercely!

In the face of 5000 devils and puppet troops who came prepared, it was difficult for us to achieve victory in a frontal battle.

Even if there is a city wall of Xinxiang County as a defense, it will even affect the people in the city.

Therefore, it is necessary to take the initiative to find favorable terrain and set up an ambush halfway!

Only by ambushing can we have the possibility of victory! ”

After speaking, Yang Chen slowly got up, came to the wall where the battle map was hung, picked up the baton, pointed to a point, and said: "Wanjialing, about 50 miles away from Xinxiang County, this is the only place for the Japanese army to rush to Xinxiang from Xiuwu!"

Unless they are willing to take a small road, take a detour of at least 50 miles, and give up the car ride and go on foot! ”

Everyone's eyes were like torches, and they listened attentively.

After a pause, Yang Chen said again: "According to the intelligence provided by the underground party, it will take a little time for the Japanese army to gather so many troops.

We won't be able to act until tomorrow at the earliest.

However, we don't have much time left, just one night.

We must rush to Wanjialing overnight and set up an ambush there! ”

Yang Chen's fierce eyes looked around, and he suddenly said, "Do any of you still have different opinions?"

If not, assemble your team now! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up in unison and said yes.

……

The execution of the Tiger Regiment is extremely strong, far from being comparable to that of ordinary armies.

In less than two hours, the scattered teams were all assembled.

Yang Chen knew that although he had captured Xinxiang, there must still be devils in Xinxiang City.

In order not to leak the news, Yang Chen did not let these troops enter the city, but stationed them outside the city.

Then, when it was late at night, he led the troops in the city to leave the city from the west gate and quietly rushed to Wanjialing.

In last night's battle, although the Tiger Ben Regiment won a complete victory, there were also many casualties.

Except for the special battalion led by Liao Yong, the deputy commander of the regiment, and the tank and combat vehicle battalion to maintain order in the county town, and to help the doctors and nurses in the field hospital to treat the wounded, the rest of the battalions were all dispatched, with a total strength of about 1,500 people.

This is also the largest troop that the Tiger Regiment can mobilize at present, although several hundred new recruits have been recruited today, but these recruits have not touched a gun, let alone undergone professional military training, it is impossible to form an effective combat effectiveness at all, and may even form a counter-effect on the battlefield.

Naturally, it can't be sent to the battlefield.
