Chapter 837: The Crisis of the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army (First Update!) )
Among the local tyrants and gentry who fled to Huoshan County, many people's sons or other relatives and friends served as soldiers in the county security regiment.
The security regiment treasoned against the enemy along with their commander, surrendered to the little devils, and after becoming a puppet army, they all became puppet soldiers.
These local tyrants and gentry who fled to the county town did not know the origin of the Tiger Bentuan.
But it did not prevent them from using their brains, and in order to regain their own land, they insisted on saying that the Tiger Ben Regiment was the New Fourth Army.
Let their relatives and friends who are on errands in the puppet army go to report to the little devils.
The devil commander in the county town was originally making trouble in the county because of Yang Chen, and he was worried that he had no place to vent his anger.
As soon as he heard that there was a New Fourth Army in his jurisdiction, he suddenly came to his senses and began to gather troops, preparing to go out of the city to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army, and accumulate some military exploits for himself.
Xu Hailang led the reconnaissance battalion and has been paying close attention to the movements of the devils and puppet troops in Huoshan City.
Even those local tyrants and gentry who escaped were able to flee into Huoshan County.
It was also Yang Chen who instructed the reconnaissance battalion and deliberately let them go.
Otherwise, with the style of the Tiger Bentuan, how could it be possible to startle the snake and give them a chance to escape.
Yang Chen's purpose in letting them go was to let them ventilate and report the news.
In this way, they will lay a long line, catch big fish, and lure the little devils and the puppet army out of the city, so that the Tiger Ben regiment will have a chance to ambush them.
As the base area continued to expand and the population increased, the Tiger Ben Regiment recruited a new batch of soldiers.
The total strength of the army has exceeded 5,000 people, and there are many new recruits, and it will take a long time to get them to form combat effectiveness just by training.
The best way to train recruits is undoubtedly to drag them onto the battlefield for actual combat.
Only after the baptism of blood and death can recruits truly and quickly transform and become qualified battlefield veterans, fearless!
The Tiger Ben Regiment has also come this way before, so it can always maintain unparalleled super combat effectiveness!
Fighting to nurture war is also the best way to cast an elite team of 100 battles.
Of course, this is also Yang Chen's plan.
With Xu Hailang leading the reconnaissance battalion to monitor in the dark, every move of all the little devils and puppet soldiers in the city is under Yang Chen's control.
Therefore, as soon as the little devil and the puppet army left the city, Yang Chen got the news.
He immediately personally led the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, Special Service Battalion, and Artillery Battalion to dispatch one after another.
Rush to the town called Yajiang and prepare to join the camp to ambush the devils.
Only the baggage battalion, cavalry battalion and special operations brigade were left behind at the regimental headquarters.
There are more than 1,000 devils in the county, and this time the devils dispatched about 800 people, and all the puppet troops were dispatched.
The total strength of the army exceeded 1,600 people.
Only more than 200 little devils were left in the county seat.
Yang Chen, Xu Ming, and Li Da rushed to Yajiang Town with their troops as quickly as possible before the arrival of the little devils and the puppet army.
Rendezvous with the 1st Battalion and the Hoe Brigade.
Liu Zheping, Jiang Wenqiang, and Ou Yangguang had already received news from the reconnaissance battalion that they had chosen a suitable ambush location in the south of the town, on the way through which the little devils had to pass, and were rushing to repair and build an ambush position.
After Yang Chen arrived, he immediately ordered Xu Ming, Li Da and others to command each battalion to assist the first battalion in repairing the fortifications.
The artillery battalion is an artillery position on both sides of the road and behind it, which is difficult to detect.
The heavy artillery of the Tiger Regiment with a caliber of more than 100mm has been destroyed and abandoned in the First Battle of Gushi.
And Yang Chen has not yet redeemed and purchased it in the system mall.
Of course, this is only because Yang Chen thinks that the current war is completely unnecessary to exchange, and bringing these big guys will affect the speed of the march.
Moreover, with these heavy artillery, the corresponding car is also needed for traction.
It's out of touch right now, and it's too much of an exaggeration to get all of these things out at once.
Everything has to wait for the Arsenal to be built!
However, the Tiger Regiment did not have heavy artillery.
Infantry guns and howitzers of caliber below 75 mm, as well as mortars, have been retained.
It's more than enough to deal with the rest of the war.
Liu Zheping, the commander of the first battalion, came over to salute and asked, "Tuanzao, how long will it take for the little devil to arrive?" ”
"The reconnaissance battalion has been secretly spying on the devils, and according to the information they just sent back, it should be less than 20 miles away from here!" Yang Chen stared at the direction of Huoshan County, and said while smoking.
"That's about an hour's journey!" Liu Zheping said.
"Well, before the little devil arrives, can the position be repaired?" Yang Chen asked.
"It should be fine." Liu Zheping glanced back at his subordinates who were busy digging fortifications and trenches, and said.
"In fact, this time, with only our veterans of the Tiger Regiment, we can easily win this battle, and all the enemies who will attack in the future will be annihilated."
After a pause, Yang Chen continued: "It's just that our purpose this time is not only to completely annihilate the enemy, but also to use this battle to temper our recruits, so that they can run in with the veterans as soon as possible and form effective combat effectiveness."
Let them see the blood, so as to dispel or reduce their fear of war after they go to the real battlefield in the future.
After all, it is inevitable to wear this military uniform and go to the battlefield!
What we have to do is to improve their abilities as much as possible before setting foot on the real battlefield.
In this way, they can not only fight bravely in the cruel war, but also have a little more ability to protect themselves.
This time, after all, it is only a real combat exercise, so it is better to build as many trench fortifications as possible, so as to minimize the casualties of the troops. ”
"Well, I understand, I'm going to urge the warriors, speed up!" Liu Zheping nodded and took the order.
……
At the same time that Yang Chen personally led the Tiger Ben Regiment to ambush the little devils and puppet troops in Huoshan County, which was used to temper the recruits.
The 3rd and 6th divisions of the Japanese army, with more than 40,000 troops, have gathered in Gushi County.
In the evening of the previous day, under the command of Okamura Ningji, an old devil, more than 40,000 troops had already divided into five routes and came out of Gushi.
And under the cover of night, they went straight to the base of the independent regiment of the New Fourth Army.
As soon as the day dawned, the Japanese troops of the Fifth Route appeared on the periphery of the independent regiment base area almost simultaneously.
Okamura Ninji was very cunning, deploying troops at night, and the strength of each army was more than 8,000 people.
This will not only ensure the mobility of each of the roundabout troops, but also ensure that they have the strength to resist the Tiger Ben Regiment head-on alone.
Even if it can't be defeated, it can hold out until other Japanese troops come to reinforce it.
The vanguard of the Five Route Devils did not pay any attention to the militia companies, guerrillas, and other irregular armed vigilant forces deployed by the Independent Regiment in some villages and key roads on the outskirts of the base area.
Instead, with the assistance of the sleeper scouts and agents, they quickly advanced all the way to the core station of the Independent Regiment, and everywhere they passed, it was like a bamboo.
