"Please wait for the good news, the head of the regiment" Fat staff officer Shao Yong straightened his chest and pulled his back and responded loudly Before Lao Qi put down his hand to return the salute, his face was already piled up with the usual harmless smile of humans and animals "That personnel and supplies ......."

"Who do you like, you directly pull the list, Lao Tzu will go to the battalions below to ask for you" The regiment commander Lao Qi was in a good mood, and he didn't think about it, so he agreed loudly, "In addition to weapons, other supplies are allocated according to the standard of two and a half infantry battalions, whether you spend money to buy war horses, or find a way to rob them, Lao Tzu will settle the bill for you in the end, and the others are the same, they are all in charge of you, the battalion commander, Lao Tzu will back you No matter what basket you poke, all of them will be borne for you."

"Yes, thank you, Commander" Fat Staff Officer Shao Yong has completely become Battalion Commander Shao this time, dancing happily, and stars are popping in his two little eyes

The regiment leader Lao Qi's temperament is far more stable than him, smiled, grabbed the plan from the table again, and tapped it with his fingers, "But the premise of all this is based on the promise of people to help train the team, you don't have to be busy and happy, sit down, let's sort it out one by one, and strive to determine the general cooperation framework for the first talk."

"Please rest assured, I believe that the guerrillas will not refuse us," Shao Yong, the commander of the empty cavalry battalion, confidently and slowly agreed, and walked back to the opposite side of Lao Qi quickly, "As far as I know, Fang Guoqiang, the political commissar of the guerrillas, has just arrived and is blind to both internal and external situations At the same time, Zhang Fatzi is not familiar with Fang Guoqiang's thinking, and the two of them need an adaptation process for each other, and this period is the easiest time for us to find an opportunity to see the needle."

"You kid," Hearing this, the regiment leader Elder Qi couldn't help but shake his head lightly again, "Who told me just now that the guerrillas already have a new soul, how can their goal be achieved, and it will become an opportunity to see the needle?"

"Hehe, it's different, it's different," Camp Commander Shao touched his head and responded with a smile, "It's one thing to co-opt them, it's another thing to get a little cheap on them, the threat is different, and the backlash caused is not the same."

The regiment commander Lao Qi smiled again and shook his head Noncommittal The co-optation of people has become begging others to be instructors This turn is a little anxious It makes him feel very uncomfortable But he thought that it would not be long before the 93rd Regiment was about to have its own cavalry There was a faint expectation in his heart Cavalry A cavalry that can get artillery support at any time If you fight with the little devils again, you will not be able to tear through their defense line More importantly, this team will be loyal to themselves and the 93rd Regiment After all, he is his own child Not to be turned or picked up from outside

The two brothers sat down at the table, reorganized the entire plan, perfected the defects and loopholes in it, and quietly passed the whole night, and after a hurried breakfast the next morning, they sent a liaison officer to the guerrillas to invite Zhang Songling and Fang Guoqiang to discuss the issue of future cooperation

In fact, just as Shao Yong predicted before, the cooperation between Zhang Songling and Fang Guoqiang had indeed not yet formed a tacit understanding, and there were several obvious points of disagreement in the negotiations, but each side reluctantly reached an agreement in order to accommodate the other party, and after Shao Yong and Lao Qi took advantage of several opportunities, they did not take it for themselves, and accepted it when they saw it, so it took less than two hours for the draft of cooperation between the Blackstone guerrillas and the 93rd Regiment to be successfully released

During the period of cooperation, the Blackstone guerrillas will give full play to their own strengths and make every effort to build a light cavalry ready to fight for the 93rd Regiment at any time, while the 93rd Regiment will provide them with supplies during the cooperation period according to the current total strength of the guerrillas The standard of the soldiers is the same as that of the 93rd Regiment's own ordinary infantry, and the horses are adjusted at any time according to the seasons on the steppe; if the camp of the guerrillas is threatened, the 93rd Regiment is obliged to send troops to support, and when engaging the enemy, the guerrillas must also obey all reasonable orders of the command of the 93rd Regiment, and must not excuse themselves under any pretext......

If so, there are a total of seven major items and 22 sub-items, and their level of detail is probably among the top ten among all the cooperation projects between the Northern Route Army and the Eighth Route Army, and its unilateral benefit to the Northern Route Army is probably one of the best According to the regiment commander Lao Qi's secret estimate, the supplies he provided to the Blackstone guerrillas during the cooperation period can at most meet the normal consumption of the department If Zhang Fatzi wants to take the opportunity to expand the team, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice

However, the guerrillas did not gain nothing, and on the second day after the draft of the cooperation was reached, and without waiting for the approval of the higher authorities, the independent battalion of the 93rd Regiment, the Blackstone guerrillas, and Zhou Heitan simultaneously pulled out the camp and set up camp, joined forces on the way, and rushed towards the Heishi Village

How could the Kawada Brigade stationed in the Black Rock Walled City show weakness When they found that the squadron had bullied them, they immediately poured out of the nest and opened a stand at a place called Baizhangpo more than 30 miles away from the Black Stone Village, trying to compete with the opponent

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the battle immediately became white-hot, and the 93rd Regiment relied on its superiority in strength to divide into three lines, left, center, and right, and launched a strong attack on the Japanese defense line, while Kawada Kuniaki adopted the strategy of holding on to the two flanks and attacking in the middle, and tried to give the attackers a blow to the head

At the critical moment, it was the artillery company of the 93rd Regiment that took the lead in breaking the deadlock According to the surrounding terrain information provided by Zhao Tianlong, it was inferred that the position of the Japanese artillery position was more than 4,000 meters away, and it was an indiscriminate bombardment, and one of the high-explosive shells happened to hit the position where the Japanese army stored the shells, and it could only "boom" with a loud bang, and the whole earth shook several times, and the steel swept back and forth with the flames, sending the only two Type 92 guns of the Kawada Brigade to the western sky along with the surrounding artillery

The situation on the battlefield suddenly became very unfavorable to the Kawada Brigade despite the fact that the training level of the little devils far exceeded that of the soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army, and they fought very bravely in the counter-charge, but after all, the total strength was only half of that of the Chinese side, and the number of light and heavy machine guns was far less than that of the 93rd Regiment, which was fully equipped with Soviet weapons But it was the Zhou Black Carbon Independent Battalion that made a big detour back to the back of the Kawada Brigade and took the opportunity to sneak attack the little devil's lair

In order to avoid the loss of the nest, Kawada Kuniaki had to leave most of the wounded soldiers of the squadron to be responsible for the broken back, and he led the rest of the men and horses to turn around and return to help, ran out of breath, and finally rushed to the city before the puppet army left behind in Heishizhai was forced to land by the Zhou Black Carbon Battalion, but the more than 140 wounded soldiers who were responsible for the broken back were all ghosts under the knife of the 93rd Regiment

Within a week, two great victories were won one after another, but the 93rd Regiment of the 31st Division of the National Revolutionary Army still refused to be satisfied, and actually chased the tail of the Kawada Brigade all the way, killed directly outside the Black Rock City, blocked the two city gates, and set up Soviet-made 09-type mountain artillery to bombard the city directly

There are two living maps, Zhou Heitan and Zhao Tianlong, and the cannonballs that flew over the city wall of course smashed into the Japanese barracks in the city without missing a shot, and the barracks that several generations of Kwantung Army "advisers" carefully built were blown up, and the headquarters collapsed, the generators caught fire, and the high-power transceivers were all turned into scrap metal

After blowing up the barracks, the eyes of the 93rd Regiment Artillery Company were fixed on the city wall of Heishi Village again, but it was a pity that the power of the 09-type mountain cannon was still not strong enough, and two consecutive salvos smashed into it, and it actually only left eight craters more than ten centimeters deep on the city wall, although it looked ugly, but it was more than a little bit away from destroying the city wall

The cannon bombarded the city wall, so the regiment commander Lao Qi switched to explosives packs, and sent daredevils to pile large explosive bags one after another under the roots of the city wall with earthen tanks made of door panels and wet quilts, but after a few loud noises, the results were still extremely disappointing The blackstone city wall, which had existed for an unknown number of years, and was finally re-strengthened by Wu Da Tongue of the Northeast Army, was still standing tall under the repeated impact of dozens of kilograms of yellow explosives

"Grandma's, it's really evil, such a poor place where birds don't, what are you doing with such a strong city wall" The commander of the 93rd Regiment, Lao Qi, was so angry that he scolded the mother of the builders of the Black Stone Walled City in the past dynasties, but under the strict defense of the Kawada Brigade, he finally had to launch a strong attack at any cost After blocking the city gate and repeatedly demonstrating force, leaving Zhou Heitan's independent battalion to contain the Japanese troops in the city, the 93rd Regiment itself quietly opened late that night, and together with the Blackstone guerrillas, the starry night pounced on the lair of King Xilin Golde

Zhou Heitan has always loved to use his brain in wars After repeatedly comparing the strength of the independent battalion and the remnants of the Japanese army in the city, he determined that his side was still at a disadvantage, and simply played a suspicious strategy with Kawada Kuniaki As soon as the front foot of the 93rd Regiment left, he immediately withdrew most of the men and horses of the independent battalion to a distance of twenty miles from the city wall, and only left a platoon of cavalry at the position of the front and rear city gates Every day, without waiting for dawn, he opened his throat and challenged the devils in the city, and ordered Kawada Kunizhao to leave the city as soon as possible and fight again

Where did Kawada Kuniaki know Zhou Heitan's thoughts But the telegraph and power generation equipment in his hands were destroyed by artillery fire and he was temporarily unable to communicate with the outside world Of course, there was no way to know the fact that the 93rd Regiment had left Until four days later, Zhou Heitan himself did not have the courage to continue to stay around the Black Stone Village and withdrew the two suspicious soldiers overnight The big and small devils in the city secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly used a rope basket to drop Huangbeard and several hardcore traitors under his command out of the city Try to find out the whereabouts of the squadron But the city gate is still closed I was afraid that the 93rd Regiment would suddenly come back and take them by surprise

After Huangbeard and his disciples and grandchildren confirmed that there was no squadron activity within 100 miles of the Black Stone Village, a whole week had passed, and in the past week, Kawada Kuniaki was on guard against it, and at the same time tried every means to collect and send equipment and parts from the "pioneer regiment" closest to him, and worked hard to restore communication with the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and finally got in touch with the high-power radio station of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and also confirmed through the intelligence department that the news that Yellowbeard had returned from his inquiry was true He was about to send a telegram to his superiors to explain how he calmly commanded and attacked the National Revolutionary Army with a great defeat under Blackstone City, but he was preemptively sent a telegram by the headquarters of the Kwantung Army

“...... After seeing the telegram, Erbu immediately set off Rushed to Beizi Temple to rescue the defenders here If there is no reason to delay the fighter plane, it will be severely punished "At the end of the telegram, the order of the Kwantung Army Headquarters actually showed a bit of a sense of solemnity, which made Kawada Kuniaki hold back the grievance and anger in his heart instantly reached its peak The swear words blurted out: "Baga, do you want me to send me to death, I just don't go, it's a big deal to go back to China and bring the reserves, at least I can end up with a whole corpse."

Crumpled the telegram into a paper ball three times and two times and threw it heavily on the ground Kawada Kuniaki's eyes were red like mad dogs in summer Rescue Beizi Temple Rescue Beizi Temple Rescue Beizi Temple Separated by a distance of nearly a thousand miles, do you want everyone to put on wings and fly over Not to mention that no one in the Kawada Brigade can fly Even if the entire Kawada Brigade has grown wings, waiting for them in the area of Beizi Temple is also a Class A regiment of the National Revolutionary Army All sets of equipment are Su weapons More than one grade stronger than the Kawada Brigade And just wiped out the Kodama squadron The morale is 100 percent

"What's going on" Seeing that Kuniaki Kawada didn't even ask himself to read it, he directly threw away the telegram sent by the Kwantung Army Headquarters as waste paper Shirakawa Shiro, the combat staff officer, frowned and asked in surprise

"At the headquarters, some people think that the combat exploits of the Chinese 93rd Regiment are not outstanding enough" Kawada Kuniaki quickly realized his gaffe, bent down and picked up the telegram, spread his hands and handed it to Shirakawa Shiro, "Shirakawa-kun, you see for yourself, I don't know whose idea came up, I actually asked our brigade to rush to the Beizi Temple to protect the lair of His Royal Highness King De, not to mention that it was too late, even if we rushed all the way to it, we were completely tired and tired, in addition to adding another victory to the merit book of the 93rd Regiment, what could it do?"

"This .......!" Shirakawa Shiro continued to frown, not knowing how to respond If this telegram had come from two weeks ago He would not hesitate to accuse Kawada Kuniaki of being cowardly and not having the slightest sense of military honor in his heart However, today The Kawada Brigade has just been tossed half dead by the 93rd Regiment, the Independent Battalion and the Blackstone Guerrillas Demoralization is low The camp is full of wounded soldiers What to do to rush to the aid of King De's lair It was Kawada Kuniaki himself who decided to accept the chaos of the Kwantung Army headquarters He Shirakawa Shiro also had to do his best to stop this trip Otherwise, what awaits him and Kawada Kuniaki must be " Jade Shattered".

"Over there at the headquarters, I'm afraid someone is deliberately causing trouble for us," Seeing Shirakawa Shiro's refusal to echo him, Kawada Kuniaki hesitated for a moment, and added in a somewhat sad and indignant tone, "Last time, the Kodama squadron was broken, and some people at the headquarters thought that I was not effective in rescuing, and they didn't even care about the fact that he didn't hold out for two days, this time, I'm afraid it was calculated, and we couldn't get to the Beizi Temple in time, so I deliberately gave such a military order, just wait to see how I bear the shame."

"Don't be so pessimistic, the rescue order must be more than just us all the way" Shirakawa Shiro glanced at Kuniaki Kawada, and considered comfort The other party's words must be unfounded, but they are by no means groundless There are many deep-rooted generals in the army and navy of the Japanese Empire, not only controlling a large part of the upward channel in the army, but also cracking down on disobedient peers

The last time Kodama who died some time ago was precisely the son and nephew of a certain shomen family Although this person has a low status in the Kodama family, but his squadron was wiped out, but it is equivalent to a slap in the face of the Kodama family, so whether it is from the perspective of saving face or showing muscles, the Kodama family will use its influence in the Kwantung Army to do something He Shirakawa Shiro has a backer behind him and will not care about intrigues But Kawada Kuniaki, who was from a relatively humble background, is very likely to become the direct target of revenge by the Kodama family

This is where the military of the Great Japanese Empire has not fallen within itself, and the reason why the National Revolutionary Army of China was able to achieve such good results in the early stages of the war was simply because the weapons were better than those of the other side and the preparation was far better than that of the other side

If the war situation is still as one-sided as it was at the end of '37 and the beginning of '38, everyone in the military has merit to stand up, and the war will destroy the withering and decaying, and the world will naturally be at peace, but the reality is exactly the opposite of hope; with the arrival of the spring of '40, the war against China has completely entered a stalemate stage, and many hidden problems within the imperial side have been exposed one after another like bamboo shoots in the spring

"The Xing'an Garrison, the Heilongjiang Garrison Command, and even the troops under King De's own command may receive similar orders Starry Night Reinforcement "Although some words only have the effect of relieving the other party, Shirakawa Shiro still said it stubbornly, "So many support troops, just one can meet the inside and the outside, and completely smash the plot of the 93rd Regiment, and as long as Beizi Temple is not broken by the 93rd Regiment, whether our brigade can arrive in time is no longer a question."

"Hurry to send you to death" Kuniaki Kawada didn't listen to the comfort of his accomplices at all, grinned, and smiled weakly and bitterly, "If the 93rd Regiment was originally going to encircle the point and send reinforcements, which reinforcements would they prioritize This is how the Kodama squadron was targeted by them, and there were so many reinforcements at that time, but no one could rush over to rescue him."
