Chapter 384: Attack Baode County
Sun Weiguo has a good strategic vision, and he can easily find the weaknesses of the Japanese army through the analysis of the battle situation.
The 11th Wing and the 13th Wing of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army were like two ends of the pliers, clamping the northwest of Jinxi to the death, but the 120th Division just pried a gap from the center of the pliers, and this gap was the current reserve of the first regiment stationed in Lan County.
As the troops of the 120th Division moved to the left and launched an operation against Wuzhai County, the main force of the 120th Division began to compete with the 11th Wing at one end of the Japanese pincers, and what Sun Weiguo wanted now was to directly knock out the other end of the pliers and defeat the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army.
At 5 p.m. on 17 March, Ge Haifeng sent a reconnaissance platoon to Majiahe Village to return, and they reported on the situation of the Japanese troops.
After learning that the Japanese army had entered Lanxian County and had an infantry squadron and a cavalry squadron, Sun Weiguo immediately convened an operational meeting, which was different from previous operational meetings, and this operational meeting demonstrated Sun Weiguo's dictatorial and domineering command style in the past.
All units of the 1st Reserve Regiment were mobilized by Sun Weiguo, and even though Sun Weiguo repeatedly emphasized that the goal of this operation was to completely annihilate the Japanese troops invading Lan County, every officer present knew that the tactical goal of the 1st Reserve Regiment this time would definitely not be to deal with hundreds of Japanese cavalry and infantry.
According to Sun Weiguo's deployment, except for the fourth battalion of the first reserve regiment, which was led by deputy commander Sun Ziyuan, to garrison Qilan County, the rest of the troops of the first reserve regiment were all dispatched, and the troops of the first reserve regiment advanced along the third road towards Majiahe Village.
As Sun Weiguo began to give orders, the various departments quickly began to assemble and prepare for the attack.
"Weiguo, have you already decided?"
As night fell, in the headquarters of the first regiment of the county reserve, Shen Wei looked at Sun Weiguo, who was sorting out his military uniform, and she asked softly.
Sun Weiguo glanced at Shen Wei, he nodded, the battalion commanders Sun Weiguo had not told them the real goal of this operation, but the personnel in the regiment headquarters knew that Sun Weiguo planned to go directly to Baode County this time to carry out encirclement and annihilation operations against the Japanese troops in Baode County.
This is a risky plan, Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong have some worries about this plan, but Sun Weiguo has already made a decision, no matter how worried they are, there is no way to change Sun Weiguo's decision.
According to the report of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese troops stationed in Qilan County, Wuzhai County, Shenchi County and other places are the 11th Wing, and the Japanese 13th Wing is stationed in Baode County, Hequ County, and Biguan County. Political commissar, the 13th Wing is going to be stationed in three county towns, and their forces will definitely be dispersed, this is an opportunity for us. ”
Looking at Shen Wei in front of him, Sun Wei said solemnly in Chinese.
The first reserve regiment has just finished replenishing new recruits, and according to normal practice, the troops do not have a few months to train, and it is very difficult for the troops to develop combat effectiveness.
But Sun Weiguo knows one thing, that is, the troops trained in excellent units are not as strong as the troops that have been tempered on the battlefield.
If the first regiment wants to form a strong combat effectiveness, it is necessary to go to the front line to fight with the little devils with real swords and guns, only in this way can the troops form a strong combat effectiveness, and at the same time, the first regiment of the reserve will attack Baode County this time, which is also what Sun Weiguo has always wanted to do.
The officers who followed Sun Weiguo knew very well that Sun Weiguo was good at defense, and Sun Weiguo's troops fought defensive battles every time, and Sun Weiguo's troops did not have the slightest experience in attacking cities, but in future battles, the Japanese army may not always be attacking, and Sun Weiguo must train troops in the siege of the city.
At most, one infantry brigade of the Japanese army is stationed in the county town to be attacked, and this is a good opportunity for training, and once the Japanese army blockades Sun Weiguo's troops in the future, then maybe the Japanese troops facing Sun Weiguo's troops will be an infantry wing.
"Since you are determined to attack Baode County, then I support you, I believe you will definitely be able to win." Shen Wei looked at Sun Weiguo in front of her, she said with a calm expression, Shen Wei still believed in Sun Weiguo's command ability.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the soldiers of the first reserve regiment began to set off towards Majiahe Village in three ways.
The 1st Route Force was an artillery company directly under the regiment of the 1st Battalion, commanded by the commander of the 1st Battalion, Yin Jin, and they marched along the northern part of Qilan County.
The second route unit was the reconnaissance company, armored company, guard company and other units directly under the regiment, as well as the second battalion unit, which was personally commanded by Sun Weiguo, and set out from the central part of Qilan County and went directly to Majiahe Village.
The third route force was Qin Xianliang's third battalion, and the third battalion marched from the south of Qilan County.
Thousands of troops began to mobilize, taking advantage of the cover of night, the soldiers stepped on the snow and quickly moved towards the goal set by Sun Weiguo.
At the same time, Biguan County, the regimental headquarters of the 26th Infantry Regiment of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army.
The 13th Wing Daisa Wing Nakanomura Momoyo walked quickly to the head of the Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, and there was a little panic on his face.
Seeing that the expression on Kuroda Shigetoku's face in front of him was not very good, Kunomura Momoyo's brows furrowed tightly, and he saluted and said, "General Kuroda." ”
"Why did the cavalry squadron and infantry squadron that went to Lan County to monitor Sun Weiguo's reserve regiment withdraw to Baode County, do you want us to become blind and not know any moves of Sun Weiguo's troops at all?"
Kuroda Shigetoku saw Kunomura Momoyo appear in front of him, he had an annoyed expression on his face, and said in a cold tone.
He had just received the news, and he knew that Kuroda Shigetoku's face was not very good after the Japanese troops who went to Lan County to monitor Sun Weiguo's reserve first regiment were evacuated to Baode County, so he immediately called Kunomura Momoyo over to inquire.
It was Momoyo Kunomura who gave the order to retreat, but he didn't expect this incident to make Kuroda Shigetoku so angry.
"General Kuroda, the Chinese troops have discovered our troops, if these two squadrons are allowed to continue to stay in Qilan County, they are likely to be completely annihilated, you know the combat effectiveness of Sun Weiguo's troops, there is no need for us to lose these two squadrons in vain."
Looking at Kuroda Shigetoku in front of him, Kunomura Momoyo still had a panicked expression on his face, but he explained softly.
Momoyo Kunomura is Chinese New Year's Eve and is a typical Japanese soldier who graduated from the Japanese Army Junior School, the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School, and the Japanese Army University, and also spent some time in Russia as a military attaché in Russia.
This time, following Kuroda Shigetoku to fight in the northwest of Jin, Kunomura Momoyo easily captured three county towns without losing a single soldier.
In the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, Kunomura Momoyo was highly valued by the division commander Harem Jun because of his high command ability.
"Very good, then tell me, who gave you the authority, you actually transferred the armored car squadron to Baode County, you did not have my consent to this matter." Kuroda Shigetoku's face turned iron-blue, and he asked in a cold tone.
