Chapter 1125: Meet the Dead Again
In fact, without Liu Lang swinging a big stick and hammer again, His Excellency Lieutenant General Bunzaburo Kawagishi, who is located at the headquarters of the 20th Division in Shijiazhuang, is already about to cry.
The 40th Infantry Brigade could not be contacted in any way, and the entire unit was silently swallowed up as if it had been swallowed up by the mountains of China. This made Kawagishi Fumizaburo anxious and at the same time, an extremely frightening thought came to his mind from time to time.
Could it be that the 40th Infantry Brigade was annihilated by the Chinese?
Although this possibility is so small that even Kawagishi Bunzaburo himself can't help but laugh a little at himself, he is too unfounded, not to mention the poorly equipped "Tsuchihachi Road", even if it is a well-equipped Central Army of the Zhina, without the strength of an army, who dares to say that it can annihilate an infantry brigade of the Great Japanese Empire?
However, the infantry brigade had lost contact for four hours, and the reinforcements from Jingcheng County were still halfway there, at least 20 miles away from the ambush site reported by Yoshio last month. Although he repeatedly asked the reinforcements to speed up their arrival on the battlefield and report the situation of the 40th Infantry Brigade to the division headquarters as soon as possible, he also knew that within two hours, the infantry who were dragging two infantry guns and two mountain guns temporarily reinforced to them would definitely not be able to reach the battlefield.
The two 94 reconnaissance armored vehicles temporarily deployed to them from the combat vehicle brigade in Jingxian County were faster than the infantry, but the battle on the old Guan front had shown that the Chinese had twin machine guns that could fight armored vehicles, and without the cover of the infantry, the 94 reconnaissance armored vehicles could only become a live target for the Chinese. They could only stumble on mountain roads as hard as the infantry.
As for the reconnaissance planes in the air, don't think about it for at least five hours. After all 24 fighters of the two squadrons of the 40th Infantry Brigade took off from Yangmingpu Airport and crashed, the commander of the 38th Air Wing almost committed suicide by disembowelment to thank the emperor. It is better to expect them to send reconnaissance planes to the battlefield than to send infantry leaders directly from the divisions and regiments.
The front line of Niangzi Pass and Jiuguan was unable to open the situation because of the stubborn defense of the Chinese, and an infantry brigade that had high hopes for a roundabout attack was now surrounded by the Chinese. It can be said that this morning was an extremely painful morning for Lieutenant General Kawagishi Bunzaburo.
If there was step counting software in that era, His Excellency the Japanese Lieutenant General would definitely crown the circle of friends, and he kept pacing in the office all morning, and he saw that the chief of staff of the division and regiment who was similar to the role of a herald was a little dizzy.
But there was nothing he could do. The 108th and 109th divisions, a total of one and a half divisions under the command of the 20th Division, had already pursued the retreating Chinese troops southward five days earlier, and carried out the strategy of southward detour formulated by His Excellency the division commander, which was also several hundred miles away from Jindong.
At present, the troops that can be mobilized by the Western Front Corps of the North China Dispatch Army are all the 20th Division, and by this time almost the entire army has been dispatched, and the one that stayed in Shijiazhuang was just an engineer wing. If the Chinese send an infantry division to attack, it is estimated that the big guys will have to open the way to the north.
All they can do now is wait, wait for news from the 40th Infantry Brigade from that fool last month.
The Japanese army was waiting, but the village of Qiqian could not wait.
In the future, 20 minutes after the military god finally made up his mind to accompany Liu Lang to play with the ticket, the battlefield was basically cleaned.
In addition to leaving the baggage company of the independent regiment and the baggage battalion of the 386th brigade to house the seriously wounded and protect the captured materials, the independent regiment and the 129th division all marched and went straight to six miles west of Shiyu Town to meet the 3,000 Japanese invaders who came to help.
This time, the two military and political chiefs of the 129th Division brought the 769th Regiment of the 385th Brigade, the 685th Regiment and the 686th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade, the teaching regiment directly under the division, a total of 4 infantry regiments, as well as the guard battalion and the cavalry battalion, the number of which reached 9,000 people, plus the independent regiment here and the two infantry regiments of the 386 Brigade and the 772nd Regiment of the 386 Brigade, minus the nearly 200 people killed in battle and the 300 people who were seriously wounded and unable to participate in the battle, the number of people who were still able to participate in the battle was as high as 5,000, and the total strength reached 14,000 people. Stronger than a fully stocked infantry division.
Absolute strength of the soldiers.
Even the always cautious future god of war had a smile on his face.
If before, even if he led 15,000 men against the 3,000 Japanese invaders, he would probably have to think carefully about how to fight this battle, but now, all he was thinking about was how to finish this battle in the fastest time.
In fact, he has never had such a strong strength. The captured 20 light and heavy machine guns were divided into a quarter of the 386 brigade, and the remaining three-quarters were assigned to the three infantry regiments of 769, 685, and 686 and the teaching regiment, and the heavy firepower of the four regiments instantly doubled compared with before.
Of the 1,700 Japanese-style rifles, each rifle was evenly distributed to five infantry regiments with 100 rounds of ammunition, and each infantry regiment was given more than 300 rifles, which could almost reequip an infantry battalion and increase the lethality of the infantry to more than 350 meters, which was much stronger than the old sleeve Hanyang.
As long as they are given the opportunity to shoot a dozen shots, they can fully master the shooting skills of the 38-style rifle, and the battle of ambushing the 3,000-day invaders just provided them with the opportunity to test their guns in actual combat.
The combat effectiveness of the five infantry regiments has increased by at least 50 percent.
As the saying goes, the rain and dew are evenly wet, and the guard battalion and the cavalry battalion, which actually has not many horses and only empty shelves, are not in vain, and the weapon support they received is the submachine guns and shell guns that Liu Lang brought when he came to Jindong this time.
Suomi submachine gun is the standard equipment of the independent regiment sergeant, and the officers above the second lieutenant level and special arms are equipped with the "Black Star" pistol, and a large number of flower traps and shell guns that have been eliminated Liu Lang did not lose them, and specially used ten three jumpers of the baggage company to transport them to Jindong.
First, it can be related to the weapons sent by the national army troops on the front line, and secondly, it can be given to the friendly 129th Division.
Nearly 200 flower machine guns and 200 barge guns with a faint blue luster swung in front of the two battalion commanders, and the eyes of the two generals of the future republic were straight.
Liu Lang was going to ask for an IOU, but he didn't plan to "ask for a kiss"! Yes, the IOU didn't have time to ask for it, and Langtuanza fled in the wilderness. So far, he has only scratched an IOU from Lieutenant General Big Tooth in his hand, which makes Lang Tuanza feel a little sad.
However, what made the future general and other infantry commanders a little hot was that Regiment Commander Liu stood on the side of the road and "just happened" to meet the 343 Brigade 686 Regiment Infantry Battalion and the 686 Regiment Baggage Battalion in the rapid march, a battalion commander with big teeth and a battalion commander with a black face just stopped and saluted the fat man's group, and the fat man not only pulled the two of them for at least two minutes, but also gave them 20 submachine guns and 4,000 rounds of ammunition as a greeting gift.
Is this damn okay? Not to mention that the commanders of the other infantry regiments almost rushed up without a red eye and snatched all the submachine guns that the two small battalion commanders had received, even the two parties were also confused.
They just looked at the figure of this legendary young fat regiment commander who looked a little like some acquaintance, and he could get twenty submachine guns for nothing? Totally pie-in-the-sky rhythm.
They knew that the one who had been talking to them for a long time was not a little similar, but actually the treacherous and tyrant fat man Liu Shang.
It's time for them to mix twenty submachine guns, if they hadn't taken the initiative to pay attention, a certain fat regiment commander who had just wanted to see the young version of the old man for a long time didn't know how to pull them over in the rapid march and give some gifts by the way!
Don't look at these two may be very good in the future, but at this time they are only a major, but Liu Lang is a colonel, even if they are pulled to idle talk, they can only answer questions patiently. Although those questions made them all a little dumbfounded.
This one knows everything about a battalion-level unit like them, and not only does he know the two of them, but he even knows the name of Comrade Yang Hongman. This guy isn't a big spy sent by those guys from the national government! If it weren't for the fact that they saw the future general standing beside Liu Fatzi and staring at the submachine gun, these two would almost refuse the gift of the fat man's group seat on the spot.
In the end, in line with the principle of not eating the meat delivered to the door, the two still collected the submachine guns and ran as fast as they could. If you don't run to the boss Yang for help, these forty submachine guns will be cut off by the future general who laughs and "hides a knife in his smile".
Liu Lang is Liu Shang, Liang Daya and Liu Yaozu are his old friends, pretending to meet the gift by chance, who else knows better than the future general who knows the inside story?
You have to have a good relationship with Liu Tuanzuo! If nothing else, just talking about this flower mechanism is enough to make anyone want to be good friends with him. The future general has secretly made a decision in his heart.
Liu Lang was also very happy.
The old man is not bad, and now he has changed from the chief of the quartermaster section of a regiment to the commander of the brigade baggage battalion, as long as he continues to develop at this pace, not to mention going one step further in the future, it is absolutely no problem to become a founding lieutenant general like the big tooth lieutenant general next to him.
And what made Liu Lang even happier was that the young version of the grandmother did not go out with the main force of the 686 Brigade this time, but stayed in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, which also reduced a lot of risks, and was much stronger than in time and space.
Of course, no matter who Liu Lang sends weapons, in the end, the 129th Division will be cheaper, and the future military god will only laugh at Liu Tuanzuo's behavior of spreading flowers and pulling around. As the supreme military commander, he only cares about the improvement of the strength of his troops.
In addition to these rifle machine guns, in fact, what really transformed the 129th Division was the artillery.
Although the three infantry guns and the four mountain guns were temporarily assigned to the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment, the kind of sudden roar he had never seen before, the "three jumpers" on the mountain road were loaded with 600 shells enough to fight for a day.
With these seven guns and 600 shells, the future god of war dared to guarantee that not only would the 3,000 Japanese soldiers not be able to leave, but he would also be able to reduce the casualties to less than 700. As long as the more than 10,000 troops occupying the commanding heights knocked out the light and heavy firepower points of the Japanese army, let alone using guns, one person could drown them with a mouthful of spit.
And Liu Lang was not idle after giving the gift.
The baggage company was organized to simply dispose of and carry all the nearly 80 empty gasoline barrels that had run out of fuel, which made the commanders of the red troops a little puzzled. Could it be that this battle will last for hours?
But this time, Liu Lang just smiled and kept silent about the use of empty gasoline barrels, even if the future general scratched his heart and liver, he didn't say anything.
This thing is his secret weapon, especially for ambushing in this kind of mountainous Taihang Mountain, it is really suitable for use.
