Chapter 762: Raid Back to Long Town

The troops of the Sixth Army Subdivision of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region won many victories one after another, especially after the Japanese army's attack of assembling two divisions and three brigades was repulsed, and the troops of the Sixth Army Subdivision generally had the idea of underestimating the enemy, and Sun Weiguo was clear about this.

Sun Weiguo stressed on several occasions that the troops, whether dealing with Japanese troops or puppet army bandit troops, should not underestimate the enemy, so as not to inflict heavy losses on the troops.

Originally, according to Sun Weiguo's plan, after the end of the war against the puppet army and bandits, he was going to hold a meeting of all officers and soldiers, mainly to train pride.

However, the troops of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion paid the price for this, and the 4th Company paid more than 30 casualties, which were not large, but they were a wake-up call for the divisional troops of the Sixth Army.

"The battalion commander should review after the war, and the company and platoon commander should be temporarily removed from his post, considering that the unit is in operation, the company and platoon commander will temporarily act as his post to continue the operation, and if the same mistake is made, the company and platoon commander will be removed from his post and investigated." Sun Weiguo looked at the map, and he said in a serious tone.

Sun Weiguo emphasized this point of pride and underestimating the enemy many times, but the fourth company still paid the price of casualties because of this, and Sun Weiguo naturally would not sit idly by.

According to Sun Weiguo's intentions, if such a mistake occurs in the fourth company, the platoon commander of the company will definitely be removed from his post and investigated, and the battalion commander will be punished.

It's just that considering that it is now a fighting period, Sun Weiguo has to deal with the officers lightly.

On the night of August 22, 1938, the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Army Division was attacked by Lang Xin bandits in Hanwang Village, and more than 30 people were killed and wounded.

The casualties of the Fourth Company were not very large, but this operation sounded the alarm for all units of the Sixth Army Division, and once any unit was proud to underestimate the enemy, the consequences would certainly be unimaginable.

Sun Weiguo immediately issued a punishment order, and Sun Weiguo sent this punishment order to all ministries, so that the officers of each ministry were alert.

On the night of the same day, when Sun Weiguo's punishment order reached the second battalion, Liu Jingnuma, the commander of the second battalion, gathered the main force of the headquarters and launched an attack on the nameless mountain occupied by Lang Xin.

The second battalion was covered by heavy weapons, and the infantry scattered and advanced, and after three hours of fighting, the second battalion completely annihilated the Langxin bandits, but they also paid more than 20 casualties.

As the sun rose and the sky brightened, four infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, a mountain artillery company, and a mortar company of the Sixth Army Division began to operate in Linzhang County.

The cavalry battalion units directly under the Sixth Army Divisional Headquarters have already entered the periphery of Huilong Town.

At present, the cavalry battalion has five cavalry companies and one machine gun company, with one battalion commander and two deputy battalion commanders.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MACHINE GUN COMPANY HAS ALSO BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE FOUR INFANTRY GUNS, FOUR 75MM CAVALRY FIELD GUNS, FOUR 20MM MACHINE GUNS, FOUR 82MM MORTARS, 20 CZECH LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND EIGHT 92 HEAVY MACHINE GUNS.

The cavalry battalion had more than 1,000 men in the whole battalion, and in other units, such a cavalry number was nearly the strength of two cavalry regiments.

Ge Haifeng is a fierce general under Sun Weiguo, and after several battles, Ge Haifeng has the ability to stand alone.

This time, even if the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment and the cavalry battalion of the new second brigade were combined, Sun Weiguo still talked to Chen Guitang in person and asked Ge Haifeng to continue to serve as the battalion commander.

"The front is Huilong Town, I'm afraid it's difficult to hide our whereabouts from the bandits in Huilong Town, and now the bandits in Huilong Town are probably already ready to defend. Our cavalry is not good at offensive combat, so we have to find a way to attract bandits. ”

Outside Huilong Town, Ge Haifeng rode on a war horse, he looked at the deputy battalion commander Han Wei, and said with a serious expression.

"Battalion commander, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to attract them out, these bandits know that we have so many cavalry, they may not have the courage to come out."

Han Wei looked towards Huilong Town, and he said with some embarrassment.

The cavalry troops are not good at attacking fortified positions, and Ge Haifeng plans to attract the bandits in Huilong Town and then fight.

But Huilong Town is where Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui are located, and they have many bandits in the vicinity.

Before the cavalry battalion troops arrived in Huilong Town, the two old bandits would get the news that it was not easy for the cavalry battalion to attract them out to fight.

Han Wei looked at Ge Haifeng with some embarrassment, he had no way to attract the bandits in the town.

"Our actions here are directly related to the operation in Linzhang County, no matter what, we must bring a devastating blow to the bandits in Huilong Town, only in this way can we mobilize the puppet army troops in the county seat of Linzhang County." Ge Haifeng said in a serious tone.

"Battalion commander, why don't we let the machine gun company cover, and the cavalry will directly charge the town, as long as we find a weak point, we will definitely be able to attack the town."

Chen Guitang hesitated, he looked at Ge Haifeng and said.

After hearing Chen Guitang's words, Ge Haifeng hesitated slightly, then he nodded and agreed.

In the town of Huilong Town, this is where Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui started their lives, because Huilong Town is under the jurisdiction of four county seats, but it eventually became a four-way zone, without official management, which became a paradise for bandits.

Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui occupied two huge streets in the east and west of Huilong Town respectively, and the two of them can be called the soil emperors of Huilong Town.

Because they started by relying on bandits, and now they have Japanese relations, Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui are now strong soldiers, they handed over the Imperial Association Army to their sons and nephews to manage, and they hid in Huilong Town to live a free life.

But with Sun Weiguo's troops entering Linzhang County, Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui's easy days will soon come to an end.

Cheng Wenxuan and Guo Qing in Linzhang County had to join forces, and Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui, two old rivals in Huilong Town, also had to be together.

Back to Long Town, in the courtyard of the Cheng family, the expression on Cheng Ximeng's face became solemn, and he looked at Guo Dehui beside him.

Guo Dehui's expression was also not very good, and after he and Cheng Ximeng's eyes met together, the two of them frowned tightly.

"Although the Eighth Route Army has the establishment of a cavalry regiment, their cavalry regiment is only three or four hundred cavalry troops at most, and now more than a thousand cavalry troops have popped up all of a sudden, except for Sun Weiguo's Eighth Route Army troops, I don't think any other Eighth Route Army troops will have so many cavalry, which means that it is Sun Weiguo's troops who have entered Linzhang County. This time we are in trouble, even the Japanese are not Sun Weiguo's opponents, how can we be their opponents. ”

Guo Dehui was the first to break the silence, he looked at Cheng Wenxuan worriedly and said.
