Chapter 507: Playing the Lottery

Chen Guitang took the initiative to ask for battle, he was unwilling to go to Donghui Town to serve as a reserve, he wanted to stay on the front line to fight.

Looking at the sincere expression on Chen Guitang's face, Sun Weiguo couldn't help but fall into contemplation, his brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't answer Chen Guitang's words for a while.

The current casualties of the Independent Regiment are very large, Sun Weiguo does not want all the troops of the Independent Regiment to be exhausted, if all the troops of the Independent Regiment are exhausted, Sun Weiguo has no way to see Zhong Jian again, and Sun Weiguo knows very well that the original district squad fighters are not much left now.

"Camp Commander Chen, I can understand your feelings, but you have to carry out the order, and you can keep your ideas if you have them." Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.

After pondering for a while, he still decided to transfer the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment to Donghui Town as a reserve, and he did not want to exhaust all the troops of the Independent Regiment.

"Deputy Commander, how should I explain such an order to my brothers." Chen Guitang looked at Sun Weiguo, obviously he didn't plan to accept this order yet.

The deputy head of the regiment is Sun Weiguo's former position in the independent regiment, Chen Guitang did not call Sun Weiguo brigade commander from the beginning, but directly called the deputy regiment commander, obviously he hoped that Sun Weiguo could remember the old feelings.

Others plead for mercy because they want to avoid the battle and thus preserve their strength, but Chen Guitang's plea is to let his troops fight.

The officers and men of the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment had this idea, they knew that the two infantry battalions of the independent regiment had suffered heavy losses, but they were not afraid of sacrifice, and they also wanted to avenge the fallen officers and soldiers.

"The first company and the second company of the cavalry battalion of the new 2nd Brigade quickly detoured back to the Japanese flank, cut off the Japanese evacuation road, and blocked the Japanese troops that might appear in Huang'an Village in the front. The 5th and 6th Companies of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Pre-1st Regiment quickly dug fortifications and approached the Japanese defensive positions, and the 7th and 8th Companies were responsible for pinning down the Japanese troops. ”

"The 3rd and 4th companies of the cavalry battalion of the new 2nd Brigade began to dig trenches from the flanks and were ready to attack from the flanks. The 1st Company of the 129th Division's Artillery Battalion quickly advanced and fired at close range, while the artillery platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment and the mortar company of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region shelled the exposed fire of the Japanese troops. The cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment was deployed on the flanks to assist the 3rd and 4th Companies of the Cavalry Battalion of the New 2nd Brigade. ”

Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order, his expression was very serious, this time he did not deploy Chen Guitang's cavalry battalion in Donghui Town, but on the flank.

After Chen Guitang heard Sun Weiguo's order, he knew that Sun Weiguo had already made concessions, so he naturally wouldn't be fighting for anything.

"Yes, Brigadier." Huang Gang and the other battalion commanders immediately agreed, and after they nodded, they quickly returned to their troops to command.

Nearly 300 officers and men of the Fifth and Sixth Companies quickly began to dig trenches, and the soldiers quickly dug trenches using the sapper shovels that had captured the devil soldiers.

The 7th Company, under the leadership of the company commander Zhang Wenbin, came to the right side of the position of the 3rd Brigade of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army to occupy a position and cover the actions of the officers and soldiers of the 5th and 6th Companies.

"Company commander, look, the little devil is leaving." As the 7th Company began to move to the right of the 3rd Brigade's position, one of the fighters at the front began to shout.

After hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Zhang Wenbin hurriedly raised the binoculars, and he quickly looked ahead.

At this time, more than 50 devil soldiers began to leave the position, and this Japanese army did not withdraw towards the former Huang'an Village, but they set off towards the village on the right side of the position.

There was a village one kilometer away from the right side of the position of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the 3rd Brigade had seen this village, but he thought that his troops could easily capture Donghui Town, so he did not set up the headquarters of the brigade in the village.

When he found out that Donghui Town had already been deployed, the armored troops and cavalry units appeared, and the captain of the Shaozo Brigade knew that if he gave the order to leave the position and go to this village, he would definitely be attacked by the armored troops and cavalry units of the new second brigade, so he never planned to enter the village.

However, after Sun Weiguo's order was issued and the various units began to adjust their deployment, the Japanese Shaozo Brigade saw an opportunity, and he immediately sent a team to set off, he planned to capture this village, so as to hold the village, and wait for reinforcements from friendly troops in the former Huang'an Village.

More than fifty devil soldiers set out, and the troops of the seventh company also set off, and both units acted at the same time.

"This little devil is really good for our Seventh Company, I didn't even give us any soup left for the Japanese interception cavalry battalion before, and now the little devil has taken the initiative to compensate us, and they are all ready for me, and these more than 50 devil soldiers will be eaten by me."

Zhang Wenbin put down the binoculars, he immediately began to take out the shell gun, and then began to give orders to the soldiers behind him.

More than 100 soldiers of the seventh company immediately began to operate, according to Zhang Wenbin's gestures, the machine gun squad directly under the company stopped moving, a 60MM mortar, a Makqin heavy machine gun was immediately erected, and at the same time, the first platoon of the seventh company quickly went to Qingyan Village not far away, and it was this village that the Japanese troops wanted to occupy.

The troops of the second platoon quietly detoured from the flank, they wanted to cut off the rear route of the Japanese retreat, the seventh company had more than 100 people, and the company commander Zhang Wenbin made full use of his large number of people, he did not fire immediately, but first used the terrain to deploy.

With a "snap", a Japanese soldier began to shoot with a rifle, and a soldier in the first row to Qingyan Village immediately fell to the ground.

"Bang bang." The Japanese light machine guns began to fire, and three bullets were fired at the soldiers in the first row.

More than 50 devil soldiers began to lie on the ground, and they fired at the first row, but the soldiers in the first row were also hidden, and they fired at the Japanese soldiers.

"Company commander, we can't fire here." The third platoon of the seventh company was left by Zhang Wenbin's side, and the third platoon commander saw that the first platoon had been attacked, and he hurriedly asked.

"Set up the Type 92 heavy machine gun in your platoon for me, but I told you that if your platoon can't make a little color this time, I will take back this heavy machine gun, tell the comrades, don't shoot first, wait for my order." Zhang Wenbin continued.

"Company commander, you can rest assured, I will never let you down, with this heavy machine gun, even without the assistance of the rest of the troops, our platoon can still eat this Japanese army, but what do we have to wait for now, just shoot directly and kill these little devils." The third platoon leader said happily.

Zhang Wenbin ignored the third platoon leader, he held the telescope and looked towards the second platoon, and when the second platoon was in place, Zhang Wenbin gave the order to shoot.
