Chapter 1066: Encountering Resistance
Due to the initiative of the main forces of the Second Theater of Operations, the main forces of the Japanese army were pinned.
Two days later, Yang Chen, Xu Hailang and others quietly went south from Jincheng with more than 6,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment and arrived at the border of northern Henan.
And at the crossing of the Yellow River, more than 3,000 American mechanics and engineers were received, and after the confluence.
Yang Chen led the troops to escort the more than 3,000 American workers to the northeast overnight.
Most of these American mechanics were unemployed people who had lost their jobs due to the economic depression in the United States at that time, and when the Wharton family offered them a very high salary and paid a large amount of money in advance, they voluntarily crossed the ocean to China.
At that time, even in the United States, the life of ordinary people was not easy.
In order to survive, they have no choice.
In addition, the Wharton family has a well-known reputation in the United States, and with the Wharton family as a guarantee, these American workers naturally do not have to worry about anything else.
As for the more than 300 engineers, the Wharton family spent a lot of money to hire them for Yang Chen.
Of course, this money was not from the Wharton family, but was deducted from Yang Chen's shares.
As businessmen, these foreign devils are very shrewd.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the head of the Wharton family who led the team this time turned out to be Alice. Walton.
This made Yang Chen quite surprised.
Because no one told him about this in the previous exchange.
Scold!
This foreign girl is not hot and enthusiastic.
For the sake of convenience, Alice did not wear a dress this time, but a denim jacket and jeans.
Let her hot and charming curves be even more exposed.
Then, as soon as this foreign girl came up, she directly gave Yang Chen a bear hug, which made Ouyang Qingqing next to her grit her teeth angrily.
Fortunately, the two separated quickly, otherwise she would have to go up and tear the girl apart.
Alice. Wharton has long known that a man as good as Yang Chen is definitely very sought-after, and it is normal for women to like it.
The more excellent women like it, the more it means that she has a good vision.
If there is no woman who likes it, it is not normal.
As a woman, she could easily see the dissatisfaction in Ouyang Qing's eyes.
However, she didn't think so, but stood up for her pride to show her mistakes.
It was Ouyang Qing, who hated her, gritted her teeth for a while, and scolded Alice in her heart for being a vixen and burning girls.
A battalion in the camp.
A veteran whispered to his recruits: "See, the foreign girl I told you about before, if nothing else, it is her." ”
At that time, everyone thought that their squad leader was bragging, but when they saw Alice bear hugging Yang Chen, they were already convinced of it.
Not only did he not doubt the charm of Tuanzao Yang Chen, but he was also very envious and admired.
The group seat is really the group seat, and in any direction, they can't match it.
……
The Tiger Regiment headed all the way to the northeast, although they were very careful and deliberately avoided the Japanese checkpoints.
But the actions of thousands of people can't be completely hidden after all.
Especially after receiving these American technicians, the Yankees, who had been tired of traveling all the way across the sea for more than two months, began to complain, and some even fell ill because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.
Coupled with the impassability of the road, Yang Chen parked his car in Jincheng.
Except for a few sick people who rode on tanks, the rest of the people were all on foot.
So the march was very slow.
After a night of rapid marching, they only walked more than 100 miles.
At the junction of the Northern Henan National Army and the Japanese-occupied area, their whereabouts were finally discovered by the devils.
An hour and a half later, several Japanese reconnaissance planes rushed to hear the news, first strafing Yang Chen's tentative air raids, and then withdrew.
However, the reconnaissance battalion, which was responsible for keeping watch on the perimeter of the team, soon received bad news.
The Japanese cavalry and infantry in the direction of Jiyuan had already made a big move and killed them on their side.
Yang Chen knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, and in addition to Jiyuan, there might be more Japanese troops rushing towards them, but the reconnaissance battalion had not yet discovered it.
In desperation, Yang Chen had no choice but to order the troops, urging the American workers to speed up.
At the same time, the cavalry battalion, the tank and chariot battalion, and the first battalion were dispatched to prepare with him to meet the enemy and stop the devils!
The escort duties were carried out by the 2nd and 3rd Battalions and the Hoe Brigade.
The reconnaissance battalion continues to be on alert and ready to support.
…………
At that time, the supreme commander of the Japanese army stationed in the Jiyuan area was named Kurai Daiku, who graduated from the Japanese Army University and is currently the commander of the 13th Brigade of the North China Front of the Japanese Invasion Army.
His independent mixed 13th Brigade was transferred to Jiyuan from the Luoyang area only last month.
The purpose of this was to prevent the Tiger Ben Regiment from going south from the southeast region of Jin Province to do things in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain.
This guy is a fanatical royalist.
At that time, I received news that there were a large number of unknown Chinese people in the jurisdiction. The army is passing through.
Eager to make meritorious service to prove himself, Kurai Daiku did not wait for other friendly troops to make a move, so he took the lead in leading an infantry wing, a cavalry brigade, an artillery brigade and other units under his command to form a vanguard force to take the lead in killing the Tiger Regiment.
When the Japanese troops in Luoyang and other places received the order to attack and began to assemble and dispatch.
The Kurai Daikong Department was less than 40 miles away from the Tiger Regiment, which was more than half an hour's journey for the cavalry.
At that time, in addition to an infantry wing, Kurai Daikura also had a brigade of cavalry, artillery, reconnaissance, baggage, and engineers.
Together with other personnel, the total strength exceeds 6,000 people.
He brought with him more than 4,500 men, which was already three-quarters of the strength of the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade.
The rest are non-combatant forces, and they also have to take into account the stability of the occupied territories.
It can be said that these more than 4,500 devils were all the troops that Kurai Daikong could mobilize at that time.
Because he was worried that the Tiger Regiment would run away, Kurai Daikong directly left the infantry wing and artillery brigade when he was still more than 20 miles away from the Tiger Regiment. He led the cavalry brigade under his command, and more than 700 devil cavalry took the lead to kill the Tiger Ben regiment.
Poor Kurai Daiku never dreamed that they would find this China targeted. The army turned out to be a tiger regiment that repeatedly killed the imperial army to the point and made all the imperial troops terrified.
Otherwise, if he is given another cavalry wing, this devil will never dare to come deep alone to intercept Yang Chen and the others.
The devil cavalry came in a hurry, but they also exposed their whereabouts.
The reconnaissance battalion led by Xu Hailang soon discovered them and quickly reported the news to Yang Chen, who was leading the cavalry battalion, the tank and chariot battalion, and the first battalion.
