Chapter 111: 3120 and 2625

"Report, good news from the independent battalion."

He Shaozhou was stunned for a moment, he had not yet made contact with the 57th Division, and Zhang Ziwen's telegram had not been replied to for a long time.

"Nian, I'd like to see what he wins again."

"Our independent battalion, in coordination with the 3rd Battalion of the 618th Regiment and the 339th Regiment of the 57th Division, completely annihilated two squadrons of the Japanese Taiwanese Mixed Brigade on the Zishi line, with more than 300 people, and captured a number of guns and ammunition."

He Shaozhou immediately looked at the map, and the Botian detachment had already jumped over the Wuxue.

"Call back, let Zhang Ziwen defend on the spot, wait for reinforcements, and at the same time order the 613th Regiment, 615th Regiment and the division directly under the division to go to Dajin immediately."

The 618th Regiment left for Dajin when Zhang Ziwen went to Wushan Lake, arrived at Wuxue, and threatened Jincun from the side, but He Shaozhou did not dare to act rashly because he had no news.

"Brother Wen, how much is it allocated to the three battalions?"

"All the guns are given to Zhao Xu, half of the grenades are divided, half of the military merits are kept, and all the binoculars are kept."

The telescope, as the material that Zhang Ziwen hoped for the most, would not let go at all, as well as several well-captured grenadiers and two 60 mortars. In addition, a full ten grenadiers, three 60 mortars, and three 81 mortars have been captured before.

Zhang Ziwen can judge from these two mortars that the devil is a brigade, and only the brigade level will be equipped with 81 mortars, and the wing will be equipped with large-caliber mortars such as 90, 120, and 150, and there will also be heavy artillery such as 92-type infantry guns and 41-type mountain artillery.

In other words, the firepower of a wing of the Japanese army greatly exceeds the firepower of most national armies and an army. The standard configuration of the national army is one mortar company for one regiment and one artillery battalion for each army. If we only fight for equipment, the equipment of most units of the national army is not as good as that of a wing of the Japanese army, and many times a complete brigade of the Japanese army can rely on its firepower superiority to fight according to a division and cannot raise its head, and this is only limited to positional warfare.

"Battalion commander, the division headquarters called, let us hold along the area of Wushan Lake, wait for the division headquarters to arrive, and then go to Songshan to support."

Zhang Ziwen thought about it for a while, and now that the battle has just begun, not only the brothers need to rest. Wushan Lake also needs to be garrisoned, if Zhang Ziwen hadn't discovered it by a detour, and now the Japanese army would have gone to Songshan and Imamura to join forces, and the Tianjiazhen fortress would have been more dangerous at that time.

"Brother Zhao, let's figure out how to defend."

Zhao Xu not only admires the independent battalion today, but also admires Zhang Ziwen, not to mention anything else, Zhang Ziwen's courage not to leave a prisoner when the Japanese army raises the white flag is worthy of his admiration.

"In this way, you will defend the area around the mouth of Wushan Lake, and you will consume a lot of money in the battle just now, give me this section in the east."

Zhang Ziwen did not shirk, although the two squadrons of the Japanese army were completely annihilated in the battle just now, the third battalion also suffered hundreds of casualties. One company and one company had only one platoon left, and the second and third machine gun companies also suffered casualties.

"Okay, if you need support, I'll bring someone to help."

It was not until dark that the 615th Regiment arrived to replace the independent battalion and the third battalion, and the 618th regiment continued to defend against the attack of the Potian detachment from south to north.

"Zhang Ziwen, see what Lao Tzu sent you?"

Zhang Ziwen took advantage of the rest time to order Lao Wang to put the Japanese canned food in the pot, when he heard He Shaozhou's voice.

"Hello Commander!"

Zhang Ziwen saluted before looking at He Shaozhou and found that there was nothing at all.

"Don't look at it, here."

He Shaozhou took out a note and handed it to Zhang Ziwen, took it and looked at it, it turned out to be an approval note for supplementing soldiers, but now there are no soldiers to make up.

"Don't be upset, I'm not happy to give you half of the troops directly under the division."

The strength of the division is generally one battalion, and the 103rd Division has no engineer battalion or artillery company, so the number of troops directly under the division is less than 1,000.

"Don't be too happy, the 618 regiment suffered a lot of casualties, I added three hundred to the 618 regiment and gave you three hundred, and now there are only three hundred people left in the division directly under the team."

Three hundred people is already a lot for Zhang Ziwen, who can be responsible for ammunition transportation and other work, vacate the fighters of the machine gun company, and add new recruits to each company. It's just that I don't know if there are any officers arranged by He Shaozhou, and a new military commander will inevitably be squeezed out by the independent battalion.

"Don't worry, only replenish the soldiers, your independent battalion has its own command system, I will not interfere, the personnel of your battalion deputy have been received."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Look at you like this, like a pug to your liking."

Hearing He Shaozhou's words, Zhang Ziwen put on a new face.

"Haha, I'm not kidding you, what is this doing, it's quite fragrant."

He Shaozhou was attracted by the smell of Lao Wang's stir-fried vegetables, and Zhang Ziwen had to follow behind, he couldn't wait to see the new recruits.

"Report to the division, this is a devil's can."

"I haven't eaten it yet, so I'll eat it at your place today."

Zhang Ziwen can't understand the hobbies of these chiefs, Wang Jingyuan likes to eat, drink and play, Wan Shijiong likes to be scary, this is another He Shaozhou is greedy, and none of them have the style of Dai Zhiqi.

"Lao Wang, add food, inform all companies to add food too, three hundred recruits have just arrived."

"Okay, the division commander is here today, I'll show you a hand."

Wang Xinping didn't want to be a platoon leader, he just liked to cook for the brothers every day, and the more he cooked, the happier he became.

After He Shaozhou finished dinner, he rushed directly to Dajin to arrange tomorrow's battle plan, and Zhang Ziming set off with Zhao Xu early in the morning to rush to Songshan to support.

The next day, Zhang Ziwen gathered the team and prepared to go, and the recruits who came yesterday have been added to each company, each platoon, and each squad, this is an independent battalion with a different mental outlook, and it seems to be the same as the spirit.

"Battalion commander, Company Commander Zhang called, everything is normal at the front."

Zhang Ziwen set off, the independent battalion went to Songshan, Zhao Xu changed to the west of Zhang Ziwen last night, and now the vanguard to support Songshan is the third battalion.

"Battalion commander, the situation is wrong, the gunfire is all in the south, and there is no movement in front."

"Li Xiping, you go to the back to see if the independent battalion is coming, they have a radio station, let them ask the division headquarters."

Li Xiping saw Zhao Xu's order to come down and immediately lead people to find the independent battalion, the three hundred recruits joined by the independent battalion, UU reading books have not yet been run-in, plus the newly captured artillery and ammunition, the marching speed is not as fast as the third battalion.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, our battalion commander asks you to contact the division headquarters and ask about the situation at Songshan Pass."

Li Xiping walked back for a few minutes and ran into the independent battalion, and when he saw Zhang Ziwen, he immediately went up.

"What's up ahead?"

Zhang Ziwen knew that something was wrong on the road, and the sound of gunfire was far less than yesterday.

"There is no movement in the Songshan area."

Zhang Ziwen also saw the steep cliffs recorded by Shen Qiyu along the way, the mountains are not high, only three or four hundred meters, but most of them are cliffs, and when they reach the mountains, they can't hear gunshots from two mountains.

"Rao Xiangyun, immediately call me to ask the division headquarters, and I will take the spy company and the third company to search and move forward first. Xiaobao, you will lead people to follow in a while. ”

Zhang Ziwen planned to advance lightly with the Third Company and the Special Service Company, but the marching speed was too slow according to the front.

"Li Xiping leads the way."

Zhang Ziwen often sees Li Xiping beside Zhao Xu, and he has known him for a long time.

"What's the situation?"

Zhang Ziwen took the spy company and the third company, and caught up with Zhao Xu in ten minutes.

"Look at the map, I reconnoitred along the road just now, and now there are no friendly troops nearby, according to the situation nearby, it can be judged that Songshan has fallen, and the Japanese army should be stationed on these high grounds."

"So that means that the Japanese army has broken through the defense line around Songshan and attacked the defense line of Tianjiazhen."

Zhang Ziwen couldn't help but worry about Tianjia Town, as soon as Tianjia Town was lost, the 103rd Division would really be surrounded by regiments, and it would be difficult to break through at that time.

"Tension, immediately reconnoiter to the 2526 Heights, 3120 Heights, and the southeastern heights of Songshan. Leave the radio squad and call the division headquarters to explain the current situation. ”

The stakes are so great that we can't delay for half a minute, and we would rather be wrong, but we can't wait, and this is a matter of life and death for the 103rd Division.
