has been fighting with Xiao Siming for a long time, and imperceptibly, Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, and Huo Cheng have all changed, and they have become green as soon as they hear that there is a supply from the Japanese army, and they can't wait to capture it and become their own!

In fact, Xiao Siming wanted to fight according to the first style of play, break through directly head-on, defeat the Japanese army's independent mixed fourth brigade, and annihilate one of them. Vertex. Updating the fastest way to fight like this can further temper the combat effectiveness of the eastward advance detachment. Of course, it is conceivable that the casualties are large, after all, the 4th Brigade of the Independent Hongcun Heng is not a soft persimmon, on the contrary, the combat effectiveness is still very strong!

There is no way, the eastward advance detachment has been fighting skillfully since Xiao Siming's Tibetan Mountain Temple received the enemy, and they only took advantage of it and did not suffer losses, Wang Lushui They must choose the third way of fighting. Even if Xiao Siming said that he wanted to play according to the first way of playing, he couldn't get through, and political commissar Wang Lushui would not agree.

The reason is very simple, the third way of playing is the real skillful play!

The eastward advance detachment has a high proportion of recruits, and it is indeed necessary to avoid a frontal breakthrough battle with casualties as much as possible!

So, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui gave an order, and the eastward advance detachment immediately turned around, turned around and retreated, and under the cover of night, marched towards the territory of Guantao.

It's just that the biggest drawback of this method of play is that it will take another two or three days to start the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade. In two or three days, the Fifth Division and the 16th Division, which had been repairing for a short time in Shijiazhuang, might viciously pounce on the southern Hebei base area, burn, kill, loot, and turn the southern Hebei base area into a bloody storm!

Before leaving, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui sent a telegram to Xu Xiangqian, deputy division commander, division headquarters, and headquarters, reporting that the main force of the Japanese army's independent mixed Fourth Brigade suddenly appeared on the south bank of the Zhanghe River, and also made a report on the decision of the eastward advance detachment to advance southward in a roundabout way.

At this time, the most critical point is whether you can successfully cross the Wei River in Guantao! Don't go to Guantao only to find out that the Japanese army has controlled the Weihe Highway Bridge in Guantao, so it will be troublesome.

As long as the Zhanghe River is crossed, the tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and rubber vehicles of the eastward advance detachment will move on the endless plain, and there will be no more obstacles.

Therefore, after sending the telegram, Xiao Siming asked Huang Hua to go down to the first regiment, Hu Qingyun to go down to the second regiment, and Huo Cheng to go to the third regiment, leaving Zheng Xiuchuan to assist Wang Lushui in leading the troops directly under the detachment to march, and personally led the cavalry battalion to the Weihe highway bridge in Guantao to control the highway bridge.

The moon is bright and the earth is bright, and you don't even need to hit a torch!

Xiao Siming rode on the jade lion horse of the night, galloped with the cavalry battalion, and rushed to the direction of the Guantao Highway Bridge.

The reason why he wanted to take control of the highway bridge first was because Xiao Siming had already received the information that the Japanese army's independent mixed third brigade was inserted into Linqing and Liaocheng at this time, and if the Japanese army's independent third mixed brigade went south from Liaocheng to control the Weihe highway bridge in Guantao, it would be troublesome!

The Zhanghe River and the Wei River converge at the southwest end of Guantao, called the Wei River.

I'm afraid that Terauchi Shouyi never dreamed that Xiao Siming led the 115th Division's eastward advance detachment to the Zhanghe River, and it was only twenty or thirty miles away from the Japanese army's independent mixed fourth brigade that rushed to the south bank of the Zhanghe River to deploy defenses, but he suddenly turned around and turned to Guantao, so that his carefully arranged Zhanghe defense line was useless!

The summer nights on the Great Plains are beautiful!

The wind blowing from the Wei River, cool and fresh, sent the fragrance of the autumn crops that grew vigorously on the Great Plains to the noses of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army. The sound of frogs and insects is like a moving symphony of summer nights.

Xiao Siming, who was riding on a horse, had no intention of enjoying the night view on the Great Plains, and was anxious, beating the horse and galloping, for fear that the speed would slow down, and there would be any changes to the Weihe Highway Bridge in Guantao.

The night jade lion horse was indeed a BMW, galloping up at an extremely fast speed, and soon pulled the cavalry battalion to the back.

After galloping for an hour, Xiao Siming rushed to the Weihe Highway Bridge in Guantao. It's not bad, the highway bridge is lying quietly on the Wei River, as if waiting for Xiao Siming's arrival.

Xiao Siming finally breathed a sigh of relief, got off the war horse, and let the jade lion horse lie down and hide, Xiao Siming himself hid under the bridge at the east end of the bridge, took off the sniper rifle, and carried out individual guard.

After waiting for another 20 minutes, the cavalry battalion arrived, Xiao Siming called Liu Zhaoming, Ma Ming, and Wu Peng together, took out the map from his purse, and explained the marching route to Liu Zhaoming, Ma Ming, and Wu Peng again, and then ordered Liu Zhaoming to lead the first cavalry company to act as the vanguard of the whole detachment, and ordered Ma Ming and Wu Peng to lead the second and third cavalry companies to search and reconnoiter around the highway bridge, arrange positions, and control the bridge.

When the armored battalion and the 100 vehicles responsible for transporting troops and loading baggage came up, Xiao Siming was completely relieved.

It has been 10 days since the troops left Texas, and they have eaten a lot of rations, which is equivalent to reducing the burden on the baggage battalion. The vacated vehicles can be used to transport troops, and the marching speed will naturally be faster. It's a pity that there are still too few cars and rubber cars to transport all three regiments away, and the large army still has to march on foot.

If all of them can be motorized or packed, the speed of transporting troops and the mobility of the eastward advance detachment will be greatly enhanced!

There is no choice but to keep winning battles and capturing more!

Standing at the head of the highway bridge, watching the armored battalion guide 100 cars rolling past, Xiao Siming was suddenly ambitious, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must use the Japanese army's tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and self-propelled artillery to form an armored force, as the fist unit of our army, and clean up the little devils like crushing ants!

That way, it's very cool!

This is not a pipe dream!

The eastward advance detachment already has an armored battalion, which can be regarded as having a certain foundation for armored operations. When we arrive in the Yimeng Mountains, we have created a solid base and moved the arsenal to it, so that we can manufacture all kinds of machine tools, and at the same time produce munitions, we can also produce some tanks, armored vehicles, and auto parts. At the same time, it is possible to set up a branch school of Kang University, and add majors such as armored troops, artillery, and engineers to train talents. As long as there are sufficient technical and military personnel, the army will naturally develop and grow!

As for artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and gasoline, Xiao Siming never thought of producing them by his own strength at all, because he did not have that condition. There are many little devils, as long as they win more battles and capture more!

After the passage of the armored battalion and the car, with an interval of about an hour and a half, the artillery regiment came up. Gun wagons drawn by pack horses, high-level dual-purpose guns, and infantry guns came in a hurry.

Seeing Xiao Siming guarding the bridge, Zhao Xiuchuan, the commander of the artillery regiment, jumped down from the artillery truck and ran to Xiao Siming to report that all the units of the Japanese brigade and regiment size had artillery, which should be mountain artillery and field artillery. The goal of this battle must be clear, you can do without anything, but you must think of completely capturing the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery. That guy is much farther than the 92nd Infantry, and the power is also great!

When fighting the military column at the Lianzhen Railway Station, they captured the Japanese army's mountain artillery shells and field artillery shells, and in Dezhou, they even captured a large number of artillery shells, but unfortunately the eastward advance detachment did not capture the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery, and those shells could only be buried in the ground on the Jilu side, and the baggage battalion only carried five base shells, hoping to capture the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery, so that these shells could come in handy.

If there is mountain artillery and field artillery, the current 92 infantry artillery of the artillery regiment can be fully integrated into the regiments, and the manpower will be freed up to form real mountain artillery battalions, field artillery battalions, mountain artillery companies, and field artillery companies.

Don't need Zhao Xiuchuan to be verbose, Xiao Siming thinks about capturing the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery, if possible, he also thinks about killing a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army and capturing those 105 howitzers and 105 cannons, isn't there no chance?

If there is mountain artillery and field artillery, it is not necessary, there is only one regiment. In that case, where do you need to run so many unjust roads, directly cannon fire to bombard his mother, a salvo, you can beat the 12th Independent Infantry Brigade of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade guarding the south bank of the Zhanghe River, and you don't have to worry about the 12th Independent Infantry Brigade jumping over the wall and blowing up the bridge at a critical moment!

Xiao Siming said lightly: "Wait, as long as you have the opportunity, you can do it!" ”

Zhao Xiuchuan's face was full of eagerness, his eyes stared at Xiao Siming, and reminded: "The artillery of the little devils generally follows behind the main force, so they have to touch the back of the butts of the 5th and 16th divisions of the Japanese army and fuck it fiercely." Maybe we can kill the 5th Field Artillery Wing of the 5th Division, or the 22nd Field Artillery Wing of the 16th Division! In that case, we'll send it! That's a serious field cannon, 48 of them! Fuck, we can start a field artillery regiment! ”

Well, after a while, Zhao Xiuchuan, the commander of the artillery regiment, thought that there were too few mountain artillery and field artillery in the artillery team of the Fourth Brigade and Regiment, and he was worried about the artillery wing of the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division!

Looking at Zhao Xiuchuan's posture of speaking, it seems that the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division are muddy, as long as Xiao Siming is willing, he can bring the cannons of the Fifth Wing of the Field Artillery of the Fifth Division or the 22nd Wing of the Field Artillery of the Sixteenth Division anytime and anywhere!

Xiao Siming is to blame for this. Zhao Xiuchuan probably didn't even know the number of the Fifth Wing of the Field Artillery of the Fifth Division, let alone how many cannons the Fifth Wing of the Field Artillery had. It was Xiao Siming who said it too clearly when he introduced the Japanese army to the cadres, which made Zhao Xiuchuan never forget it, and he was worried about it when he was marching!

Xiao Siming smiled and waved his hand to tell Zhao Xiuchuan to get out of here!

Before Zhao Xiuchuan finished speaking, he then reported that after the meeting with the new regiment, the second batch of recruits of the new regiment would have to give priority to replenishing the artillery regiment. A field artillery wing of the Japanese army has 2,894 men and 2,269 pack horses, and the strength of the artillery regiment cannot be less than that of the field artillery wing of the Japanese army, and the pack horses cannot be less. Otherwise, there will not be enough manpower and pack horses, and they will not be able to meet the needs of the war!

This Zhao Xiuchuan, who didn't even see the shadow of the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery, began to reach out and ask for pack horses, as if he could immediately capture the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery!

Xiao Siming stopped talking, and his face became stiff!

As soon as Zhao Xiuchuan saw it, Xiao Siming might immediately reprimand him, pull out his legs and leave, anyway, he had already finished what he had to say! (To be continued.) )
