Chapter 271: The Armored Company Returns
The armored company is a super-large company-level unit, and it is also the most elite hole card of the independent regiment.
After this battle, the loss of the armored company was not small, Yin Jinshan was able to let his troops play the last value, he led the armored company troops towards Yangquan County, took the initiative to expose himself, attracted Japanese troops, and thus covered the withdrawal of the regimental headquarters.
After a bitter battle with the Japanese troops, Yin Jinshan came to Shouyang County with his armored company, and met the troops of the Independent Regiment in Xinzhuang.
The two tanks were covered with bullet marks, and the three armored vehicles were damaged in many places, and the faces of the armored soldiers were full of tired expressions.
Chen Haojie's anti-tank gun platoon did not have any artillery, and seven artillerymen carried rifles on their backs under the leadership of Chen Haojie.
Wang Weining's infantry platoon was gone, Han Chao's cavalry platoon was also gone, the supply platoon, and the machine gun platoon were also gone.
Not only are the troops of these four platoons gone, but even their platoon commanders are gone.
Company commander Yin Jinshan had gauze wrapped around his head and arms, and deputy company commander Zhao Lin was lying in the armored car, his face full of painful expressions.
There are still dozens of people left in the armored company, and they also have two tanks and three armored vehicles, which are the only equipment left for them.
But they were able to come back safely, which made Sun Weiguo very pleased.
At this time, Sun Wei's heart was painful, but he didn't show it, he came to Yin Jinshan and the others, patted them lightly on the shoulder, he didn't say anything, everything was silent.
At this point, all the troops that broke through the independent regiment returned to the team, and Sun Weiguo was sad and excited in his heart.
The excitement is that although the troops have suffered heavy losses, all the departments have left seeds, and as long as these seeds are there, the troops will be reorganized, but what makes Sun Weiguo sad is that the brothers who fought with him are forever buried in the ground.
"One year, I promise you, in a year at most, I will again form a more powerful armored company, artillery battalion, cavalry battalion!"
Sun Weiguo looked at Yin Jinshan, Ge Haifeng, Li Jiaxin and other officers, and he said with a serious expression.
The return of the armored company made the veterans of the independent regiment much more relieved, and Sun Weiguo immediately asked Liu Qian to treat the wounded of the armored company.
Yin Jinshan, who was covered in scars, refused to be treated, and he wanted to take his armored company into the next battle.
For Yin Jinshan's request, Sun Weiguo hesitated for a moment and agreed, at this time, the armored company needed to boost morale.
Sun Ziyuan's first battalion defected to the battle, causing a hole in the defense line of the fifth regiment of the puppet army.
The three puppet army majors were obviously not idiots either, and they began to shrink their defensive lines with Lone Mountain as the center.
Two infantry battalions of more than 1,000 troops formed a defensive position with Gushan as the center.
You must know that due to Fan Shuming's betrayal, the news that the independent regiment will go to Gushan has been known to the Japanese army.
The Japanese army's order to the puppet army troops was to stop the troops of the Independent Regiment in the area of Gushan, and the puppet army subconsciously also took Gushan as the center of defense, and they wanted to use fortifications to block the attack of the Independent Regiment.
However, the Japanese puppet army ignored one point, the main reason why the independent regiment wanted to go to Gushan was to meet the troops of the cavalry battalion and armored company.
Now that the Independent Regiment has joined forces with the cavalry battalion and the armored company, the goal of the Independent Regiment to go to Gushan has been achieved.
At present, there are more than 900 people in the independent regiment, and compared with the number of puppet troops, the independent regiment is at a disadvantage.
More importantly, whether it is Sun Ziyuan's first battalion or Yin Jin's second battalion, they are all troops that have just been recruited.
There has never been a coordinated operation between the various units, and the officers and men still have some problems in their hearts, and problems may arise when the operation is carried out at this time.
If he didn't know how to fight with the cavalry battalion and armored company, even if Sun Weiguo knew about these problems, he would still have to fight.
It's just that the situation is different now, the cavalry battalion and armored company have already met, and there is no need for Sun Weiguo to forcibly fight with the puppet army.
"Camp Commander Sun, let's talk about the situation." In the temporary regiment headquarters of the Xinzhuang Independent Regiment, Sun Weiguo asked Sun Ziyuan to introduce the situation.
"The first battalion is my descendant unit, and the Japanese and my three subordinates know that the officers and men of the first battalion are loyal to me, so they are very stingy with the first battalion in terms of weapon configuration, the first battalion has one light machine gun in each platoon, one grenadier in the company, and two mortars and two heavy machine guns in the machine gun company.
But the remaining two battalions were armed with light machine guns in each squad, grenadiers in platoons, mortars in companies, and their machine gun companies were armed with infantry guns and heavy machine guns. In terms of weaponry, they have an advantage. ”
"There is another situation, the Japanese seem to know that the troops of the Independent Regiment will go to Gushan, so the Japanese let us stick to Gushan, and their reinforcements are on the way, according to my observation, the Japanese reinforcements have at least one brigade."
Sun Ziyuan came to the map, and he introduced the situation and said.
Hearing Sun Ziyuan's words, Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong's brows couldn't help frowning.
They didn't care how strong the puppet army's equipment was, and the Japanese who Sun Ziyuan said knew about the actions of the independent regiment and attracted their attention.
"Defend the country, in this way, the Japanese army must have known our intentions in advance, is it ......?"
Shen Wei's brows furrowed tightly, she looked at Sun Weiguo, and said with a solemn expression.
"Political commissar, chief of staff, I have decided to abandon the plan to go to Gushan, we are now marching to the north, not fighting with the puppet army, if we let the puppet army drag us down, once the Japanese reinforcements come, it will inevitably fall into their encirclement."
Sun Weiguo looked at Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong, and he said with a serious expression.
Before, Sun Weiguo felt that his troops could completely annihilate the puppet army before the arrival of the Japanese army, and he also wanted to annihilate this puppet army in his heart, if he could annihilate them, the problem of weapons and ammunition of the independent regiment would be solved.
But after learning about the situation of the puppet army troops from Sun Ziyuan, Sun Weiguo changed his mind, and he decided to withdraw with the troops first.
"I have no opinion." "I don't have a problem either."
Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong have stated that they have no opinion on Sun Weiguo's suggestion.
Sun Ziyuan and other officers naturally did not raise objections, and the troops of the Independent Regiment quickly assembled and began to march towards the north of Xinzhuang.
They abandoned the march in the direction of the inevitable lonely mountain, and the defense of the puppet army troops did not play the slightest role.
When the puppet army found out that the troops of the Independent Regiment were marching towards the north, their faces were full of stunned expressions.
The three majors did not dare to delay in the slightest, and they hurriedly sent a telegram to the headquarters of the 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army to report the situation here.
Last month, when Yoshio learned that the Independent Regiment had abandoned its march towards the Lonely Mountain, his face was full of astonishment, and he immediately issued an order to the puppet army, asking the puppet army troops to hold back the troops of the Independent Regiment no matter what.
