Chapter 470: Forming a Battle Group

With a range of 18,000 kilometers, when the brigade headquarters personnel heard this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Zhao Lerong immediately began to measure the range from the map, and his finger pointed to the outside of Pingding County, it was obvious that the Japanese heavy artillery on Shijia Mountain could directly hit the territory of Pingding County, and their shells could directly hit the outside of the county.

Considering that the Japanese army occupies high ground, this can increase the firing range, which means that the Japanese heavy artillery may hit the county town.

"Brigade commander, the brigade headquarters should be transferred to Yangquan County quickly, it's too dangerous here." Zhao Lin, director of the logistics department, hurriedly said.

"The brigade headquarters was relocated to Nancheng District, and the people in the city were evacuated urgently." Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.

His eyes looked at the map, with a solemn expression on his face, when Sun Weiguo gave the order, everyone would not talk about the transfer of the brigade headquarters, they all knew that Sun Weiguo said the same, since he decided to leave the brigade headquarters in Pingding County, then no one would want to change Sun Weiguo's mind.

The engineer company began to transfer the brigade headquarters, Sun Weiguo and others were still pondering, and the things at the brigade headquarters quickly began to move.

At one o'clock in the morning, the brigade headquarters of the new Second Brigade was established in Nancheng District, Pingding County, and Sun Weiguo and others also began to move over.

The night was destined to be silent, Sun Weiguo and other brigade leaders began to argue fiercely, and the leaders of the regimental headquarters of the first regiment also began to join in the combat meeting.

Everyone put forward different opinions, and everyone expressed their opinions on the next battle.

At four o'clock in the morning, the headquarters of the new 2nd Brigade drew up a detailed operation, and the various units began to be mobilized.

In the face of the flanking attack of the two brigades of the Japanese army, Sun Weiguo did not take a defensive position as usual, he decided to replace the defense with an attack, and the troops still took the offensive.

For the troops of the new 2nd Brigade, Sun Weiguo made adjustments, and he began to form an artillery group.

The 12 94-type mountain guns of the artillery battalion, the four 41-type mountain guns of the guard battalion, and the six 75mm field guns of the artillery company of the 1st Regiment of the Pre-1st Regiment, a total of 22 artillery pieces formed the artillery group of the new 2nd Brigade, and the artillery group was commanded by the artillery commander Zheng Jingjing.

If it weren't for the fact that it was wartime, Sun Weiguo would definitely have to investigate this matter to the end, the army emphasized discipline, Zheng Jingjing issued an order to prohibit the firing of artillery, but the first company of the artillery battalion still opened fire without authorization, which eventually led to the death of the officers and soldiers of the whole company, and the destruction of all six mountain guns of the whole company, which was a heavy price.

Infantry commander and artillery commander were specially set up by Sun Weiguo to form a battle group, and Sun Weiguo also emphasized the responsibilities of commanders several times.

The head of the artillery group is Zheng Jingjing, who manages 22 artillery pieces, including artillery battalions and other units.

After forming an artillery group, Sun Weiguo set up the first battle group, which included an armored battalion, a special service battalion (owed to the first company and the third company), a cavalry battalion, an artillery group, the first battalion of the first pre-regiment, and a special combat team.

The commander of the first battle group was Fu Tao, the commander of the first regiment, and the deputy commander was Sun Ziyuan, the commander of the infantry.

The combat mission of the first battle group was to deploy defenses in the vicinity of Wujiashan, Dongzhai Mountain, and Baijing Town, and the first battle group took an offensive to contain the Japanese troops at Niangziguan.

The second battalion of the 1st Reserve Regiment, the guard battalion, the sniper squadron, the engineer company, the guard company of the 1st Reserve Regiment, and the 3rd Company of the special service battalion formed the second battle group, with Yin Jin, deputy commander of the 1st Reserve Regiment, as the commander of the 2nd Battle Group, and Zhu Jianwei, chief of staff of the 1st Reserve Regiment, as the deputy commander of the 2nd Battle Group.

The combat mission of the second battle group is for the troops to form combat groups and cross the Songxi River with each combat group to enter Xiyang County to fight.

After forming two battle groups, Sun Weiguo immediately began to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, reporting the situation of the enemy and us in Pingding County and Xiyang County, and at the same time, Sun Weiguo asked the head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to immediately transfer.

At present, the new 2nd Brigade only has the 3rd Battalion of Liu Jingnuma of the 1st Regiment as the reserve of the whole brigade, and it is obviously impossible for the New 2nd Brigade to contain and attack the Japanese troops in Qinxian County.

With the formation of the two battle groups, the units began to get busy, and the troops quickly assembled and headed for the designated location.

Shaanxi Province, Qiulin Town, Yichuan County, Second Theater Commander's Department.

When Tang Chunhua received a call from Sun Weiguo, the Second Theater Commander's Department began to issue an order, Yan Xishan asked the intelligence personnel operating in Shanxi and Hebei to immediately find out the number of the troops stationed in Xiyang County, and at the same time, Yan Xishan asked that once there was news, he should be notified immediately.

It was five o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark outside, but Yan Xishan, who woke up, had no intention of sleeping, he changed into a military uniform and came to the chief's office.

Just came to the chief's department, he happened to see Tang Chunhua, and Tang Chunhua was holding a document in his hand at this time.

"Chief Yan, we just got the news, the Japanese troops not only plan to encircle and annihilate the anti-Japanese troops in the southeast of Jin, but also they have formulated a battle plan for Sun Weiguo's new second brigade, according to the information we have obtained, the Japanese army has secretly built a new infantry brigade, the number of this infantry brigade is unknown, but this infantry brigade has begun to mobilize, at present they are assembled in the area of Niangziguan Town, Pingding County, and stationed in Xiyang County, it is the 25th Brigade of the main force of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army, obviously, The Japanese army planned to use these two brigades to carry out a flanking attack on the new 2nd Brigade. ”

Tang Chunhua first saluted Yan Xishan, and then he immediately reported.

After hearing Tang Chunhua's report, Yan Xishan had a stunned expression on his face, and he immediately came to the map.

Staring at the location of Pingding County on the map, Yan Xishan's face became strange, and the expression on his face was cloudy.

The new Second Brigade is a unit of the Eighth Route Army, and if Yan Xishan is allowed to tell the truth, he would like all the troops of the Eighth Route Army to be eaten by the Japanese troops.

But Yan Xishan now has to realize some situations, that is, looking at all the troops in the Second War Zone, it seems that only the Eighth Route Army can have the strength to fight with the Japanese army, and if all the troops of the Eighth Route Army are wiped out, I am afraid that the whole of Shanxi will fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

In addition, Yan Xishan has recently taken advantage of the continuous victories of Sun Weiguo's troops, and he has been in the limelight at home and abroad.

At this time, Yan Xishan did not want to see Sun Weiguo's troops completely annihilated, if Sun Weiguo's troops were completely annihilated or severely damaged, he would definitely be blamed.

"This little devil is vicious, if the new second brigade retreats at this time, the little devils of these two brigades will definitely directly attack the anti-Japanese troops in the southeast of Shanxi, you immediately send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and ask Commander-in-Chief Zhu to immediately dispatch troops to assist the new second brigade in combat, and it is necessary to ensure that the troops of the new second brigade are not hit hard." After Yan Xishan hesitated, he gave the order.
