The two battalions of the independent regiment have only more than 600 people, which can only be regarded as a battalion of troops in the first reserve regiment, but the independent regiment is a small regiment of local troops, and the number of the whole regiment is only more than 1,000 people, and the new second brigade is a unit that has been officially given the number of troops, so naturally there is no comparison between the two.

However, after the troops of the New Second Brigade came to the area of Yangquan County, Sun Weiguo did not have any stinginess, and he replenished a large number of light and heavy weapons to the troops of the Independent Regiment.

"The 2nd Battle Group has begun to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops in the area of Donghui Town, and the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Mixed Combat should have received the news now, and they are currently making a detour from the north, and it seems that they are planning to bypass Baijing Town to reinforce the Japanese troops in Donghui Town. The commander of the Qin detachment has already given an order, we must stop this Japanese army at all costs, Hong Zhiqiang, Chen Yang, you lead the troops to attack immediately, and before the arrival of the main force of the independent detachment, no matter how big the casualties are, you must drag the Japanese troops for me. ”

Zhong Jian pointed to the map, his face was solemn, and he gave the order in a firm tone.

"Old regiment commander, let's let our battalion attack, our battalion suffered a blow in Xiyang County before, and the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion are holding their breath, old regiment commander, you give our battalion a chance."

Yue Wu, the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment, heard that Zhong Jian did not plan to let the first battalion attack, the expression on his face changed, looking at Zhong Jian in front of him, Yue Wu pleaded bitterly.

With a smile on his face, Zhong Jian came to Yue Wu and gently patted Yue Wu on the shoulder.

"Yue Wu, I understand your feelings, but the independent regiment is also a unit brought up by the defense of the country, you have to believe that our troops can stop this Japanese army, and your battalion also has a task, after the two battalions of the independent regiment attack, Baijing Town will be empty, your battalion must be stationed in Baijing Town, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the independent detachment." Zhong Jian said solemnly.

"Yue Wu, speaking of which, the roots of your new Second Brigade are still in our independent regiment, and the combat effectiveness of our troops is also not bad, don't fight with us, speaking of which, when you were the platoon commander, I was the deputy battalion commander." Hong Zhiqiang also came to Yue Wu's face, looking at Yue Wu, **** Qiang said with a smile.

Hearing Zhong Jian and Hong Zhiqiang's words, Yue Wu had an embarrassed expression on his face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yue Wu, Baijing Town will be handed over to your battalion to garrison." Zhong Jian gave a serious order.

After Yue Wu saluted and agreed, Zhong Jian left Baijing Town with Zhong Zhiqiang and Chen Yang, and more than 700 troops of the Independent Regiment began to set off from Baijing Town, and they launched an attack to the north.

But Zhong Jian didn't know that when Kunomura Momoyo gave the order, he had already considered that the Chinese troops in Kashiwai Town would take the initiative to attack and intercept their troops.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the troops of Baijing Town have been dispatched, and they have more than 700 people, and they are currently marching towards our troops." The cavalry of the cavalry team quickly reported the situation of the independent regiment's attack, and when Kunomura Momoyo heard the report, he had a playful smile on his face.

"Wait, let them get closer, and immediately contact Ikuta Nakasa of the artillery detachment, so that the artillery is ready to shoot." Momoyo Kunomura gave the order.

Unlike Chinese troops, who relied on two legs to convey orders, Japanese troops could quickly convey orders through the radio.

The artillery units set up on the high ground had already begun to aim at the units of the Independent Regiment through the artillery mirrors, and the artillery positions were only four kilometers away from Baijing Town, and the two types of field guns of the two field artillery squadrons of the artillery detachments had a firing range of more than 10,000 meters.

Even the nine mountain guns have a firing range of more than nine kilometers, and even if the troops of the Independent Regiment are stationed in Baijing Town, they are also within the firing range, not to mention that the troops of the Independent Regiment are now approaching the artillery positions little by little.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, now that we are three kilometers away, can our armored detachment launch a sortie?" Morikawa Nakasa came to Momoyo Kunomura and asked softly.

At this time, the armored detachment of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat also suffered losses after some fighting, they lost three Type 89 tanks and 3 Type 95 tanks, but they still had 18 tanks and 24 armored vehicles, and the Japanese armored troops obviously had many more tanks and armored vehicles than the armored battalions.

Once they start their operation, their combat effectiveness is naturally unimaginable.

"The armored detachment is attacking, pay attention to the distance, the artillery of the Chinese army will definitely support the operation, you must be careful." Kunomura Momoyo began to give orders.

As Kunomura Momoyo began to give orders, the tanks of the armored detachment began to start their engines one after another, and the roar of the tanks began to sound.

Three Type 89 tanks began to march, fifteen Type 95 tanks followed, and twenty-four armored vehicles were scattered on either side of the tank.

The Japanese armored units began to set off in a mighty manner, and at the same time, the artillery detachment received orders from Kunomura Momoyo, and they also began to shoot.

One by one, grenades were fired, and the grenades began to fall inadvertently on the attacking troops of the Independent Regiment.

"Boom, boom," the explosion began to sound, and the seventeen Japanese guns fired at the same time, and the huge explosions continued to sound, and huge craters began to appear on the ground.

The marching independent regiment was suddenly shelled by the Japanese army, dozens of fighters were killed on the spot, and the rest of the fighters immediately fell to the ground.

Light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars were quickly erected, and the fighters watched vigilantly ahead.

Zhong Jian, Hong Zhiqiang, Chen Yang and other officers immediately raised their binoculars, and they looked solemnly towards the front, with nervous expressions on their faces.

The craters blown up by these Japanese shells are not small, even if they are not professional artillery officers, they also know that the caliber of these Japanese artillery pieces is not small.

Especially when he saw the four huge craters that appeared on the side of Chen Yang's second battalion, Zhong Jian's two brows were almost connected.

"AT LEAST ALL 75MM CALIBER GUNS, AND THE SECOND BATTALION HAS AT LEAST MORE THAN 100 MM CALIBER GUNS, AND THE LITTLE DEVILS ARE WAITING FOR US TO ATTACK." Zhong Jian said in a serious tone.

"These little devils have a problem for us, if we don't act, they can send troops to reinforce the Japanese troops in Donghui Town, if we do, they will concentrate artillery to hit us, regiment commander, this little devil still has armored troops, if they send armored troops, ......"

Chen Yang, the commander of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment, said in a heavy tone, and before he finished his words, the roar of the tanks on the opposite side became louder, and then tanks and armored vehicles began to appear.

"Dispersion, hurry up and disperse, replace the steel core bullets for the heavy machine gun!" Seeing the appearance of tanks and armored vehicles, Chen Yang shouted loudly.

The troops quickly began to disperse, the fighters quickly spread to the sides, and the soldiers who stabilized immediately dug into cover.
