Chapter 356 Domineering Deng Hua
"Brigade commander, the twenty-third regiment is really amazing! They actually annihilated a wing of the devil with the strength of a mere regiment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou must know that on the frontal battlefield, even the Kuomintang army cannot achieve such a record! Yuan Peijue, chief of staff of the Eighth Brigade, still looked incredulous after receiving Hu Tianming's battle report, and was shocked by the achievements of the 23rd Regiment.
The strength of a wing of the Japanese army is as many as 3,800 people, and on the frontal battlefield, often a division or even an army of the Kuomintang Army cannot help them, but now they have been wiped out by a regiment under their own command, no wonder Yuan Peijue is so excited.
"Haha, then you are underestimating our twenty-third regiment, the regiment has just attacked the Japanese army's columns, captured a large number of weapons and equipment, plus the weapons that came from the Jin-Shaanxi-Sui base area before, the firepower alone is enough to overwhelm the little devil.
Moreover, after a month of development in Guancheng, the 23rd Regiment has now pulled up a large force of nearly 10,000 people, which is almost three times the strength of the Japanese army, and it is natural to win.
It's just that the 23rd Regiment completely annihilated the devil's infantry wing in such a short time, which is very unexpected to me. There are no weak soldiers under the strong general, and Commander Hu is worthy of being the confidant and favorite general of the division commander, he has won the essence of the division commander's tactics in this battle, whether it is luring the enemy before the battle or ambushing and raiding, he is very skillful and perfectly arranged. ”
Deng Hua and several main leaders of the Eighth Brigade chatted while riding horses, and everyone was very impressed by the achievements of the 23rd Regiment, and made detailed analysis and comments on the battle.
Hu Tianming is no stranger to everyone, and when he was in the Soviet area, like Li Yunqiang, he had been developing the reconnaissance unit step by step, and then he was transferred to a regular combat unit as a battalion commander before he showed his dazzling brilliance.
According to his outstanding achievements in the past, many people thought that he was going to be the brigade commander when the Eighth Brigade was formed, but they didn't expect that Zhang Cheng dug Deng Hua from the 115th Division and parachuted the Eighth Brigade as the brigade commander.
Although Deng Hua's appointment as the commander of the Eighth Brigade surprised many people, Deng Hua quickly conquered the Eighth Brigade with his ability and personality charm, and now the Eighth Brigade has become the unit with the largest number of troops and the largest base among the instructors, and Deng Hua is the biggest hero.
Hu Tianming was not very interested in Deng Hua at the beginning, and thought in his heart that his arrival had robbed him of his promotion opportunity, but out of the spirit of high obedience of the Workers and Peasants, he still completed the orders issued by Deng Hua very conscientiously, as for personal relationships, hehe, it would be good if he didn't become an enemy.
It's just that this time Hu Tianming fought with the Japanese invaders without an order, although he won the battle, but what the outcome was, everyone didn't have much bottom in their hearts, after all, the reinforcements of the Japanese army were still on the way, and this battle showed signs of expansion, which was obviously contrary to the low-key development strategy set by the division commander before, if he was defeated, then Hu Tianming would not be able to eat and go around.
However, what everyone never expected was that Deng Hua, who was Hu Tianming's rival, would take the responsibility of the 23rd Regiment to fight without authorization, which not only moved Hu Tianming, but also convinced the entire Eighth Brigade.
"By the way, how far is the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade from Hu Tianming?" Deng Hua asked Yuan Peijue.
"Brigade commander, the devil's journey is about ten kilometers farther than ours, but they set off two hours earlier than us, so I guess they arrived at about the same time as us." Yuan Peijue pondered for a while, and then said cautiously.
"It's good that we can do the opposite and not have to compete with them for time. We can even slow down a little and wait for the devil and the 23rd regiment to fight first, and then we can calmly arrange, insert it from behind the devil, and have a front and back attack with the 23rd regiment. If all goes well, maybe we can annihilate this independent brigade. Deng Hua said calmly.
"But can Hu Tianming withstand the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army? In case the Japanese army crushed the 23rd Regiment, then we will have to fight a tough battle with the devils. Political Commissar Peng Sheng said worriedly.
"Haha, the person who can compete with me Deng Hua for the brigade commander, I don't believe that his ability is only so much. Besides, the devil's independent brigade has been knocked out of an infantry wing, and now the reinforcements are only an infantry wing and a field artillery wing, and the strength is about 5,000, even if the puppet army is added, it will only last 8,000. Even if the main force of our Eighth Brigade does not rush to reinforce it, Hu Tianming still has the ability to wrestle with the devils, and I believe that he can lead the 23rd Regiment to drag the devils to the death. ”
Deng Hua swore and gave great trust to Hu Tianming. Although Hu Tianming fought with him for the brigade commander really made him a little unhappy, but he admired Hu Tianming's combat ability very much, just talking about the battle array charge, Hu Tianming had to faintly surpass him, but Zhang Cheng took a fancy to Deng Hua's ability to lead the overall situation, so as to put the burden of the Eighth Brigade on Deng Hua's shoulders.
After listening to Deng Hua's analysis, everyone began to feel at ease about the 23rd Regiment. Immediately, everyone thought that if everything went well in the plan, then the Eighth Brigade would become the first unit of the Chinese army to destroy an independent brigade of the devil with the power of one brigade, which was a record that was unprecedented in history!
Thinking of this brilliant result, the comrades were excited, but the political commissar Peng Sheng's eyebrows were faintly worried, and he said to Deng Hua quite worriedly: "The division commander has just set a strategy for low-key development, but now we are fighting with the Japanese invaders, and it is even very likely to eliminate an independent brigade of devils. ”
Deng Hua didn't think about it and said: "The sky has fallen to a high top, political commissar, don't worry about the sky." Even if we transfer the Japanese target over, it will be nothing more than a soldier to cover the water and earth. Since we want to vigorously develop anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, we should have expected long ago that the Japanese army would launch a frantic sweep against us, and it was just a difference between fighting early and fighting late.
If we fight early, although our strength is not strong enough, the preparation of the Japanese army is also insufficient; If we fight late, then the strength of our Qilu base area should have developed to a certain scale, but correspondingly, the strength of the Japanese army's preparation at that time should also be unprecedented, and the future battle will also be extremely tragic, and it is very likely that it will be a general battle in World War I to determine the ownership of the land of Qilu.
Since there is not much difference between fighting early and late, then we don't need to worry about so much, as long as the devil dares to offend our base area, then what I didn't say, I will never give up if I don't kill him completely. Deng Hua said very domineeringly, faintly, he actually let the political commissar and others see a little bit of Zhang Cheng's demeanor.
