Shannan County.

Ye Fengzheng, accompanied by Guo Weiquan and Chu Tianyuan, was checking the training of the fighters, and on a huge training ground in the eastern suburbs of the city, the voices of the soldiers shook the sky.

The sound of standing upright, taking a break, walking in unison, one after another, the training of the fighters is in full swing, not far from the training ground, the willow tree next to a small river has begun to spit out tender shoots, spring has quietly come, and the training of the fighters has been several months.

In addition to daily training, the fighters will also conduct live-fire training, and now every fighter has a very good level of marksmanship, which is the result of consuming a lot of bullets.

"Chief of Staff Guo, Deputy Brigade Commander Chu, your results are good, the soldiers are very good in terms of mental outlook and training, and you have worked hard." Ye Feng praised.

Guo Weiquan and Chu Tianyuan were in charge of the construction of the troops, and the training of the troops was the responsibility of the two of them, and they were praised by Ye Feng, and the two of them were also very happy and happy.

The three major infantry regiments, even the tank regiment and the artillery regiment, Ye Feng inspected them one by one and carefully watched the training of the soldiers.

Independent Brigade Brigade Headquarters.

Ye Feng spent several days inspecting the work, and after inspecting the work of the artillery regiment this morning, he returned to the independent brigade headquarters in Shannan County in the afternoon.

"Chief of Staff Guo, the training of our troops is almost over, I think it's just a little lacking in actual combat experience, you hurry up and formulate a combat plan, we should find a little devil to train the troops."

After the establishment of the Independent Brigade, it only fought with the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, and fought fiercely on the eastern defense line of the city for a few days. In order to enhance combat effectiveness, it is still necessary to temper it through actual combat.

Hearing that he was going to find a little devil to train his troops, Chief of Staff Guo immediately said happily: "Brigade seat, don't worry, we will immediately formulate a training plan and report to you as soon as it is formulated." ”

"Hmm." Ye Feng nodded.

……

The Independent Brigade is formulating a training plan and is preparing to find little devils to practice their hands, but the little devils are not at ease and are also formulating a plan to prepare to do it against the Independent Brigade again.

The Independent Brigade has humiliated the little devil several times, and not long ago drowned nearly 1,000 people of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army.

At present, there are basically no major battles in the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, and Matsui Ishine has divided some of his energies and personally ordered the General Staff of the Central China Front Army to transfer troops to prepare for an attack on the Independent Brigade.

A direct attack on the Independent Brigade from the east would never work, the 6th Division had already learned its lesson here, there were heavy casualties, and the defense line to the east of the city of the Independent Brigade was too strong.

If you attack from the rest of the directions, it will be a vast mountainous area, with dense mountains and forests, rugged mountain roads, the heavy equipment of the little devils cannot pass, and it is very difficult to replenish it.

However, in the absence of any better way now, Matsui Ishine is ready to adopt this strategy, and is transferring troops to attack the independent brigade from several directions with infantry brigades as units, and the number of troops participating in the attack will reach the size of seven brigades.

In Matsui Ishone's view, the Independent Brigade is newly established after all, and although the weapons are relatively advanced, the combat effectiveness is certainly not as good as the elite infantry selected from various divisions.

This time, the seven infantry brigades participating in the attack were all Division A regiments from the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness was strong, but because of the attack on the independent brigade from the mountainous area, the infantry brigades were all light equipment, did not carry heavy equipment, mainly Type 38 rifles, and were equipped with some crooked machine guns and grenadiers, and in addition, they were also equipped with a small number of small-caliber mortars.

February 25, 1938.

The Central China Front of the Japanese Army dispatched seven field infantry brigades, which, in large units, entered the mountains from different directions and began to attack the independent brigade.

The strength of the seven field infantry brigades of the Japanese army is not less than that of the independent brigade in terms of numbers, and all of them are the elite of the Japanese army.

Plains County.

The tank regiment of the Independent Brigade has been stationed here for some time, and there is a huge training ground more than ten kilometers south of the city.

On the training ground, tanks, armored vehicles are undergoing cross-country training, and on the edge of the training ground, near the foot of the mountain, there are rows of barracks.

Sun Yougen, the commander of the tank regiment, looks to be in his thirties, with the rank of colonel, a military talent exchanged for the "Nuwa" system, and is proficient in the training and operations of armored units.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers under his command, after just a few months, there have been earth-shaking changes, most of these soldiers are recruits recruited a few months ago, and only about a hundred or so are veterans.

The fighters train during the day, and at night, they also conduct cultural studies, there are specialized people who teach some cultural knowledge, in addition to some specialized knowledge about tanks, armored vehicles.

Under the combination of training and study, coupled with Sun Yougen's grasp of the overall situation, the tank regiment at this time already has a look, what is lacking is only actual combat, and most of the soldiers in the regiment have not yet killed little devils.

Accompanied by a deputy regiment commander, Sun Yougen was holding a telescope and looking at a group of tanks in the distance, which was galloping, and the speeding tanks were undulating with the terrain, looking very beautiful.

The tank regiment is equipped with all American Sherman tanks, which are one of the largest tanks equipped by the Allies in the entire World War II, with very balanced performance and easy maintenance.

"Regiment commander, it would be nice if we could fight with the little devils, we have been training for several months, and the soldiers are training very hard, and they have long wanted to go to the battlefield." The deputy head of the regiment next to him said.

"Don't worry, we will be on the battlefield soon, and the brigade headquarters is already formulating a combat plan, and the purpose is to find little devils to train troops." Sun Yougen said.

"That's great, when I go to the battlefield, I'm going to drive the tank myself to fight the little devils." The deputy head of the regiment said happily.

The two chatted while watching the training of the fighters in the distance.

A captain and company commander ran over quickly and reported loudly: "Regiment commander, our peripheral sentinels have discovered that a group of little devils have appeared in the east of Shijiaomen Town, and they are coming towards Shijiaomen Town, and the little devils are all light infantry, about an infantry brigade. ”

Shichaomen Town is a whole town in the east of Pingyuan County, less than ten kilometers east of the town, there are more than a dozen small stone hills constitute a natural barrier, among them, in the middle of these hills, there are two hills between the two hills as if someone dug a piece, forming a channel dozens of meters wide, east-west direction, like a stone trough.

To the east of the town of Shichaomen, the terrain is flat, and to the west of the town of Shichaomen, it is the complete opposite, the terrain begins to undulate, and in the town of Shichaomen, a tank regiment is stationed with a tank company with six tanks and three armored vehicles, which acts as a forward guard.

There are so many little devils, there are about 1,000 people in an infantry brigade, and all of them are lightly armed, what are these little devils doing here.

"Quick, gather the troops, and in addition, immediately send a report to the brigade to report the situation."
