Chapter 467: Take the Initiative (Page 1/1)

The second-line position, the teaching brigade, and the friendly Zhou Pu battalion, were still facing off against the opposite Takeda Brigade in the position.

The armistice was at noon, and after a few hours, and not a single shot was fired during the afternoon standoff, the Takeda Brigade even erected tents and simple fortifications for the soldiers to rest after their meals.

Zhang Wei's men were still on high alert at first, and the first and second squadrons on the front line did not dare to slack off, staring at the movements of the Japanese army, but after waiting for several hours, the Japanese army did not even let out a fart.

After asking Zhang Wei, the first squadron and the second squadron of the first line were changed to platoons as units on duty in turn, and the soldiers of the platoon without tasks could rest in the trenches on the spot, as long as the infantry platoon on duty remained vigilant.

Zhang Wei's purpose was to delay, sluggishness, there was no need to make the soldiers tense too tightly, and the Japanese army did not show a clear attack movement, so it was necessary to relax.

The same is true of the 3rd Squadron in the second-line position, their defensive pressure is already small, the 3rd Squadron is stationed in the second-line trenches, and the soldiers of the heavy fire squadron are guarding in the second-line trenches together.

The two infantry squadrons on the front line were not yet on high alert, and the third squadron simply let most of the soldiers rest against the trenches and allowed the soldiers to talk in whispers.

In addition to the necessary guard posts, most of the soldiers of the Sanquan Squadron rested in the trenches, and the three heavy machine gun platoons of the heavy fire squadron were guarded in the second-line trenches with the Third Squadron, and compared with the comfort and relaxation of the infantry of the Third Squadron, the three heavy machine gun platoons had a much higher degree of alert, and the nine machine gun squads were on alert, and the machine guns were all loaded with live ammunition.

The nine heavy machine guns of the teaching brigade are on absolute alert, and if there is any movement, the bullets of these heavy machine guns will fire before the infantry of the teaching brigade, blocking the firing range for which they are responsible.

After retreating to the second-line trenches after the last battle, the soldiers of the three heavy machine gun platoons of the heavy fire squadron carried out simple maintenance and disassembly of the machine guns, and then put them on alert, after all, they are heavy machine guns, automatic fire, and it is necessary to keep a tight eye.

Zhang Wei is reading the latest telegram he has received.

After lunch, he went to the first and second line trenches to inspect a few times, and the Japanese troops who had passed there were no movements, Zhang Wei secretly sent a few people to climb out of the position to stare at a few times, and after seeing the Japanese troops setting up tents, he made sure that the Japanese army did not make a big move for a short time, so he made a decision and let most of the soldiers in the position relax.

In the command post, in addition to Zhang Wei, there were He Jinhai, the platoon leader of the engineer platoon, Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy firepower squadron, and Zheng Yiqun, the leader of the third infantry squadron.

Zhang Wei also threw the latest battlefield information to them.

The latest telegram received was sent by Deng Junlin, the commander of the 65th Regiment, in which he hoped that the second-line position could delay the Japanese army for one more day, that is, at least until noon on the 20th, and emphasized that Zhang Wei should pay close attention to the Japanese troops behind the ambush target.

The Japanese troops behind the target of this ambush were, of course, the powerful Japanese troops with cars and artillery that existed in the telegrams of the supplementary regiments, that is, Miki's troops.

Even the shadow can be seen now, but in the telegram of the supplementary regiment, this Japanese army is very strong.

In the face of the enemy, in the problem of engagement, Zhang Wei was no longer worried, and the Takeda brigade on the opposite side did not go well in many battles.

The second-line position, the Takeda Brigade can't gnaw down for the time being, the teaching brigade did not use all its strength, not to mention, the friendly Zhou Pu battalion also showed confidence and experience in the battle just now, if the Takeda Brigade launched an attack on the second-line position, Zhang Wei and Zhou Pu desperately held on, and held until tomorrow, noon on the 20th, it was generally not a problem.

If everything goes well, as long as Zhang Wei guides them to the ambush position, this brigade that is constantly consumed by himself will most likely be finished.

With Deng Junlin's telegram, Zhang Wei's worries about the Japanese troops in the rear of the Takeda Brigade (that is, the Miki Army) slowly grew, and now he only knows the existence and equipment of these Japanese troops, and knows that the two supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army are carrying out raiding operations.

As for the arrival of this group of Japanese troops and what tactics they adopted, Zhang Wei's eyes were black and he didn't know anything, and the more he thought about this, the more uncomfortable Zhang Wei became.

"The devil's Takeda brigade can't jump up now, they want to rest, the key is the devil in the back, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

Zhang Wei said as he paced in the command post.

The three officers also looked thoughtful, and after reading the telegram, they seemed to have a new understanding of the battle situation.

The first to speak was Zheng Yiqun: "The devil is not moving now, it is not moving, the friendly army replenishment regiment said that it was conducting raid and harassment operations, but with the combat strength of the supplementary regiment, it is difficult to form an effective delay for the Japanese army." ”

He Jinhai, the platoon commander of the engineer platoon, nodded in agreement: "What the captain of the third squadron said is reasonable, we don't know the situation of these devils at all, the Japanese army in front of us has stopped now, which is good for our army's ambush arrangement and defense, but on the other hand, they are stationed in the same place, and once the second batch of Japanese reinforcements in the rear meets them, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Zhang Wei nodded, there are too many uncertainties in the current battle situation, what is the situation of the second batch of Japanese reinforcements after the Takeda Brigade? Where did the march go? Are there any forward troops? Zhang Wei didn't know about these, and it was unrealistic to expect those people in the supplementary group to report.

Zhang Wei can also imagine how hard it was to fight with the supplementary regiment of the second batch of Japanese reinforcements.

These uncertain factors, what Zhang Wei and the officers were most afraid of was that the second batch of Japanese reinforcements and the Takeda Brigade would converge, so a large number of Japanese troops would gather together and annihilate them? With the power at hand now, don't even think about it.

Zhang Wei said: "I can't hang here, our brigade doesn't know anything about the second batch of devil reinforcements now, and we have to take the initiative to ask for the enemy!"

To take the initiative to seek the enemy is to take the initiative to send people to search and alert the Japanese army, not necessarily to take the initiative to attack, but to take the initiative to reconnoiter the enemy army, understand the enemy's situation, and send sharp troops.

"Captain, is that still the old rules for drawing people from the squadrons? Or will it fall directly on the infantry platoon of our three squadrons? Zheng Yiqun looked at Zhang Wei and said.

The first and second squadrons served as the defense of the first-line position, and they couldn't move, and taught the brigade to transfer the previous top soldiers, either from each squadron, or from the three infantry squadrons to transfer an entire infantry platoon to distribute on the road, Zheng Yiqun consciously thought that Zhang Wei was going to use his unscathed third squadron at this time.

"No, you three squadrons are holding their positions, and there is no need for infantry squadrons this time."

Zhang Wei vetoed Zheng Yiqun, he didn't want to transfer people from the infantry squadron, and he was in a confrontation with the Takeda brigade, and then transferred capable personnel from the infantry squadron as top soldiers, which would have a lot of impact on the defense of the position.

On the other hand, the reconnaissance mission of the second batch of Japanese reinforcements to find the enemy is different from the reconnaissance and vigilance of the Takeda Brigade, and the danger factor and difficulty are not low.

Zhang Wei turned to look at He Jinhai: "Engineer platoon!" ”
