Chapter 197: Let's Talk First

Zhang Dajun's report attracted the attention of Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong, who looked at the map.

Zhao Lerong looked at the location of Zhixi Town on the map, and his eyes shifted to Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo was also looking at the map, but there was a hesitant expression on his face.

"Deputy regiment commander, Zhixi Town is the closest to our position, are we using the cavalry battalion to fight the sharpness of the Japanese army, and at the same time boost our morale."

Zhao Lerong saw that Sun Weiguo had not made a decision for a long time, so he simply said it directly.

The Japanese troops who went to Zhixi Town were not followed by strong artillery, and this Japanese army was infantry, and Zhao Lerong saw the fighters.

The cavalry battalion could carry out this operation, taking advantage of the cover of night to let the cavalry battalion quickly attack and catch the Japanese army off guard.

Sun Weiguo also had such thoughts, but he was a little worried in his heart, he was worried that there would be an accident in the cavalry battalion.

This operation is very important, and if the cavalry battalion can return victorious, it will naturally be a great boost to morale.

But if the cavalry battalion fails, it will have a great impact on morale, Sun Weiguo is a little hesitant in his heart, he knows that the current independent regiment cannot be affected in any way, once there is any impact, the independent regiment is likely to collapse.

There are more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, don't look at Sun Weiguo seems to be very calm on the surface, but he is still very nervous in his heart.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, Sun Weiguo is nervous, not to mention the situation of the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, I am afraid that they are all tightening a string in their heads at this time.

"Weiguo, I think things have come to this point, instead of waiting to be beaten, let's give the little devil a moment first."

Zhong Jian clenched his right hand into a fist, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said in a serious tone.

Sun Weiguo glanced back at Zhong Jian, and at this time, Shen Wei's gaze also looked towards Sun Weiguo, and Shen Wei seemed to support this battle.

"Bring in the officers of the cavalry battalion." Sun Weiguo made a quick decision.

The heralds, who had been waiting outside, hurried outside, and they began to look for the officers of the cavalry battalion.

Sun Weiguo glanced at the map, and then he personally came to the outside of the regiment headquarters and invited Liu Jingnuma, the commander of the guard company who had just gone out, to come in.

"Company Commander Liu, do you dare to follow me to carry out a surprise attack on the Japanese army." Sun Weiguo looked at Liu Jingnuma and asked in a serious tone.

Liu Jingnuma was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Sun Weiguo to say such a thing, he nodded heavily and said: "What don't you dare, we are absolutely unambiguous in fighting devils, Chief Sun, you can give an order." ”

"Assemble the guard company and prepare the brethren for battle." Sun Weiguo patted Liu Jingnuma's shoulder with satisfaction.

These low-level officers and soldiers all have high morale, but some of the Jin Sui army commanders did not perform very well on the battlefield.

After seeing Liu Jingnuan's performance, Sun Weiguo felt that no matter what happened to the other Jin Sui army troops, his guard company would definitely not be too bad.

Liu Jingnuma immediately saluted, began to assemble the guard company, and made the officers and soldiers ready for battle.

At this time, the main officers of the cavalry battalion came to the regiment headquarters, and Chen Guitang knew that Sun Weiguo must have a combat mission when he called them at this time.

After coming to the regiment headquarters, Chen Guitang and other officers looked at Sun Weiguo, waiting for Sun Weiguo's order.

"There were about 2,000 Japanese troops marching towards Zhixi Town, and we took advantage of their march to attack them for a moment, and then the troops quickly withdrew. The Japanese army was arrogant, and when they saw the cavalry retreating, they would definitely send troops in pursuit, and we tried to eat the troops pursued by the Japanese army. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Chen Guitang and the other officers, and he said in a serious tone.

"Yes, Deputy Commander." Chen Guitang and the other officers did not hesitate at all, and they directly agreed.

Zhao Lerong began to put the detailed map of Pingding County on the table, and Sun Weiguo and Officer Chen Guitang began to discuss.

At about eleven o'clock, the combat meeting ended, and Chen Guitang and the others began to go back to prepare.

At the same time, Liu Jingnuma's guard company also began to prepare, and after Sun Weiguo explained a few words, he left the regiment headquarters with Liu Jingnuma.

After all, Liu Jingnuma's troops were the Jin Sui army, and if Sun Weiguo didn't follow them to act, it was inevitable that they would have some thoughts in their hearts.

Sun Weiguo followed them to act, so these Jinsui officers and soldiers would know that Sun Weiguo did not treat them as cannon fodder.

On the road from the county seat of Pingding County to Zhixi Town, Okazaki Kiyozaburo, the commander of the Second Infantry Wing of the Chinese Garrison Corps, was riding on a war horse, and his face showed a slightly tired expression.

Yamashita Fumimi strengthened the 2nd Infantry Wing with a tank squadron and an infantry squadron, but at present, only the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Brigades followed Kiyozaburo Okazaki to Jisai Town, as well as auxiliary units such as artillery squadrons and transport squadrons directly under the wing.

As for the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing, the 4th Brigade and the Tank Squadron of the 4th Brigade Regiment have been sent to Suochun Town, they are going to continue their march west through Suochun Town to the south of Chengguan Town, and these two infantry brigades and a tank squadron will attack from the south of Chengguan Town.

"Wing Commander, there is still some distance from Zhixi Town, it is better to let the troops rest for a while, after all, we will have to undertake combat missions tomorrow morning."

The chief of staff of the wing came to Okazaki Kiyozaburo's side, and he said softly, even if it was the chief of staff of the young man who was riding on a war horse, his face was full of fatigue at this time.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki glanced at the troops, he shook his head and refused: "Order the troops to speed up and rest when they arrive at the town of Jisai." ”

When Chief of Staff Shozo heard that Kiyozaburo Okazaki had rejected his proposal, he sighed helplessly and had no choice but to order the troops to move on.

At the forefront was an infantry squadron of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, with nearly 200 devil soldiers marching towards the front with their own weapons.

They secretly arrived at the Shanxi battlefield by train, and after coming to Shanxi, they had been secretly marching.

Don't think they'll have enough energy to come by train, the train they're on is a crowd of people crammed into a carriage with no place to stand.

These devil soldiers are very tired, which means that they have good physical fitness, and if they were to change to other troops, I am afraid they would have been tired and lay down long ago.

Aside from the side of the Japanese army, these devil soldiers are indeed excellent soldiers.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki's order began to be delivered, and the devil soldiers continued to walk forward.

I don't know how much I walked, but the captain squadron leader who walked in front frowned slightly, because he heard an unusual sound.
