Chapter 149: Cavalry is not afraid of death
Hebei Province, Fuping County, Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Headquarters.
At this time, Commander Nie had already received a telegram from the Fourth Army Division, but Commander Nie's brows were tightly furrowed.
Chief of Staff Tang stood beside Commander Nie, his face was also full of complicated expressions, and he looked at the map from time to time, with a difficult look in his eyes.
"The Japanese puppet army is a mixed force, they have tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, Sun Weiguo is holding on to Chengguan Town, this is a decisive battle with the Japanese puppet army."
"Even if the independent regiment can fight, after all, they have just formed an army, and the independent regiment occupies an absolute disadvantage, why is Sun Weiguo so confused."
"The telegram from the military sub-district said that it was for the purpose of protecting the people, and that there would be losses in this operation or not, and if the support of the people was lost, it would be difficult for the independent regiment to gain a firm foothold in the future."
The staff officers of the military district headquarters already knew about this, and they talked softly, and everyone had a different opinion.
"Chief of Staff Tang, send a telegram directly to the independent regiment: the plan to stick to Chengguan Town has been learned, the independent regiment has full authority under the command of deputy regiment commander Wei Guo, the safety of the people is very important, please arrange the evacuation plan of the people, and the military region will not interfere in the operation of the independent regiment."
After being silent for a long time, Commander Nie glanced at Chief of Staff Tang, and then he gave an order.
Chief of Staff Tang did not immediately arrange for the staff officer to send a telegram to the independent regiment, he stood where he was, his eyes glancing at Commander Nie.
"Let's go and generate electricity, I have already made a decision, the Eighth Route Army is fish, the people are water, if there is no water, how can the fish still move." Wei Guo's decision this time was very impulsive, but there is still a very profound truth, we must protect the safety of the people. Commander Nie said softly.
This time Chief of Staff Don did not hesitate at all, and he directly began to order the staff officers to quickly send a telegram to the independent regiment.
The telegram was soon sent to the Independent Regiment, and Fan Shuming received a telegram directly from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and his face was full of stunned expressions.
Immediately, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, he felt that the direct telegram from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region must have reprimanded Sun Weiguo and asked him to give up the plan of sticking to Chengguan Town.
Don't look at Fan Shuming, now An An is the squad leader of a communication class, but he hates Sun Weiguo in his heart.
Especially every time Sun Weiguo performed well, he was very unbalanced in his heart, and he was very happy to see that Sun Weiguo might be reprimanded.
It's just that when Fan Shuming translated the message, he was completely dumbfounded, and he almost couldn't believe that it was true.
The Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Command actually agreed to Sun Weiguo's plan and gave him full command of the independent regiment to fight.
Fan Shuming had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he still reported the telegram to the head of the Independent Youth League and other leaders.
After Zhong Jian, Shen Wei, and Liu Xi knew the content of the message, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
If they hadn't known that Fan Shuming didn't dare to joke about this matter, they would have thought that this message had been forged.
They looked at Sun Weiguo, with a very complicated expression on their faces, helplessness, self-blame, guilt, and nervousness......
"Political commissar, you still go back to Nanzhuang Village to be responsible for the garrison, regiment commander, you still go back to the cavalry battalion to command the cavalry battalion, Liu Xi, return to your second company to command."
Sun Weiguo didn't care about their opposition to him, he still arranged them to their previous positions.
The three of them looked at Sun Weiguo, they nodded, and then began to leave here.
The various departments began to make preparations, and with the reply from the military region headquarters, Sun Weiguo's insistence on Chengguan Town can be said to be justified.
Sun Weiguo naturally considered the safety of the people, he not only dug temporary underground bunkers for the people, but also arranged a back road for them.
The two companies of the infantry battalion and the two companies of the artillery battalion began to deploy according to Sun Weiguo's orders, and the front-line position was commanded by Yin Jin, the commander of the first infantry company, and the commander of the infantry battalion, Hong Zhiqiang, the deputy battalion commander Chen Yang, and the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Shi, were all on standby by Sun Weiguo's side.
"Report to the deputy regiment commander, the battalion commander Chen Guitang of the cavalry battalion asked me to tell you that the cavalry battalion is not afraid of death, and they are ready to be deployed by you at any time."
The communications corpsmen who went to contact the cavalry battalion soon returned, and the cavalry battalion was not far from Chengguan Town, and the telecommunications corps went on horseback.
Hearing the report of the communication soldier, Sun Weiguo had a smile on his face, he clenched his right hand into a fist, and looked in the direction of Pingding County, with an expectant look in his eyes.
"Deputy regiment commander, if we defend properly, we still have a chance to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese puppet army." Chen Yang looked at Sun Weiguo and said softly.
Sun Weiguo's eyes looked at Chen Yang, and Chen Yang whispered a few words in Sun Weiguo's ear.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was very warm, and the weather was very good today.
The Japanese puppet army troops had come to Chengguan Town, and when they were three thousand meters away from Chengguan Town, Takano Shuichi ordered the troops to stop advancing, and they began to station in a nearby village, and Takano Shuichi set up a headquarters in the village.
Immediately, Takano Shuichi quickly ordered the mortar brigade to start setting up artillery positions, and he gathered the officers of the Japanese puppet army together.
"Captain, the Zhina troops actually set up a position in Chengguan Town, it seems that they plan to stick to Chengguan Town, this is a big joke, I really didn't expect that their commander would make such a stupid decision." A Japanese captain with an excited expression on his face came up to Shuichi Takano and said in an excited tone.
"Mixi, the Chinese army wants to fight a decisive battle with us, and their behavior is described in the Chinese language as hitting a stone with an egg. The total annihilation of this branch of the army, the princes have made great contributions, please you must fight bravely. Shuichi Takano smiled excitedly.
On the way to Chengguan Town, he had made countless assumptions, he thought that Sun Weiguo's troops would evacuate, and he also thought that Sun Weiguo's troops would ambush his own troops.
But Takano Shuichi just didn't expect Sun Weiguo to set up a position in Chengguan Town and make a posture of sticking to Chengguan Town.
When he saw the troops of the Independent Regiment holding their positions, Takano Shuichi was very happy in his heart, because the Japanese army was good at attacking.
"Takano Taijun, we will definitely be able to annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, this time Takano Taijun personally commands the troops, we will definitely win easily."
Although Zhu Shiqiang had a lot of worries in his heart, he still had to flatter Gao Yexiu at this time.
"Very good, now I issue a combat order, I hope that all the monarchs can strictly implement it, delay the fighter, and die." Hideichi Takano said in a stern tone.
The officers of the Japanese puppet army stood up from their chairs one after another, and they looked at Hideichi Takano.
