Chapter 861: Mistakenly hitting the division headquarters

Under the order of Tahara Kuohai, the Japanese independent garrison quickly began to march towards the town of Baijiazhuang.

At nine o'clock that night, the Japanese independent garrison was stationed in Baijiazhuang Town, and Tahara Kuokai immediately ordered his troops to begin to deploy defenses in the vicinity of Baijiazhuang Town, and at the same time he began to send reconnaissance troops to all sides.

At this time, the vanguard of the 114th Division of Mengxian County began to enter Wutai County, because it was at night, the vanguard of the Japanese army hit the position of Gaohongkou Township garrisoned by the first regiment of Qin Xianliang's honor, and after losing dozens of people, the little devils immediately began to retreat and deploy, and they were ready to launch a new round of offensive.

After Sun Weiguo received the news of the announcement of the First Regiment of Honor, he immediately issued an order to Qin Xianliang, and Sun Weiguo asked Qin Xianliang to hold the position in Gaohongkou Township, contain the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, and cover the combat mission of the Fourth Regiment of Honor against the independent garrison of the Japanese Army.

"Your Excellency General, the reconnaissance unit found abandoned shells by the Chinese artillery unit on the way to Dongzhi Town, obviously the Chinese artillery unit was very panicked in retreating, according to the judgment of the reconnaissance unit, this Chinese artillery should want to make peace with its main force, according to the current direction of the Chinese artillery retreat, the main force of the second branch of the Chinese Honor should be in the west of Wutai County, and the troops of the first division are also in the west of Wutai County, obviously the main force of the second division of the Chinese honor is fighting against the troops of the first division."

In Baijiazhuang Town, inside the headquarters of the Japanese Army's Independent Garrison, a staff officer hurriedly came to Tianyuan Kuohai and reported.

Hearing this staff officer's report, Tahara Kuokai showed an excited expression on his face, and he immediately looked towards the map.

Seeing the detailed location of Wutai County on the map, the corner of Tahara Kuohai's mouth showed a smug smile, he thought that this was an opportunity for the independent garrison to make a name for himself, and it was also an opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions to Tahara Kuohai.

According to the report of the reconnaissance unit, Tahara Kuohai was able to judge that the defense of the Honorary Second Division in the area of Baijiazhuang Town was very empty, and the independent garrison appeared here, and the Honorary Second Division did not react at all, and the main force of the Honorary Second Division should be fighting fiercely with the First Division.

Tahara Kuohai had a bold idea in his heart, that is, to take his troops to the west, directly attack the flank of the Honorary Second Division, and cooperate with the First Division to fight.

In Tahara Kuohai's view, even if his strategy fails, then the independent garrison can quickly make peace with the first division, so as to ensure that his troops will not be completely annihilated.

What's more, Tahara Kuohai felt that the combat effectiveness of the Honorary Second Division was strong, and they could not eat the First Division, and the First Division could completely put pressure on the Honorary Second Division.

He felt that the independent garrison would be the most critical role in mastering the operation, and as long as the independent garrison appeared behind the second division of honor, then they could deal a major blow to the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Immediately contact the 1st Division and ask the 1st Division about the situation of the Eighth Route Army in person, and the troops are ready to go." Tahara Kokai began to give orders.

At this time, the troops of the 1st Brigade and the 15th Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army had already begun to advance towards the area of Wolf Mountain and Heishiling.

These two heights were garrisoned by the main force of the Unknown Regiment, and it was night, and the 1st Brigade and the 15th Brigade were on the iron plate.

The vanguard of the 1st Brigade and the 15th Brigade were attacked at Wolf Mountain and Heishiling respectively, and after the vanguard of the two brigades suffered more than 200 casualties, they immediately stopped their attacks.

At this time, a very coincidental thing happened, a county brigade led by Zheng Guan Zilin, deputy commander of the Nameless Regiment, supplemented the fourth battalion, and the armored platoon directly under the Nameless Regiment began to attack the artillery position deployed by the Japanese army in Jinshan, Wutai County, and the Honorary Fifth Regiment, which was left by Sun Weiguo in Ningwu County, also participated in this operation under the leadership of the regiment commander Ge Haifeng.

Ge Haifeng has always followed behind the First Division, but the troops of the First Division have always been huddled together, and he has not found an opportunity to attack for a long time.

Zheng Guan Zilin led the troops to raid the Japanese artillery position, after Ge Haifeng got the report, in order to respond to Zheng Guan Zilin's battle, Ge Haifeng led the cavalry troops to start an attack on Shanwen Village in the southeast corner of Jinshan where the Japanese artillery position was located, Ge Haifeng wanted to capture Shanwen Village and cut off the connection between the Japanese infantry and artillery.

Shanwen Village is not far from Yangbai Township, and the Heishiling and Wolf Mountains where the 1st Brigade and the 15th Brigade are marching are all southeast of Shanwen Village, which means that if the 1st Brigade and 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army want to return to the artillery position, they must pass through Shanwen Village, and Ge Haifeng is right to choose to attack Shanwen Village.

But Ge Haifeng didn't know that in order to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, and also to allow all the units of the First Division to be completely assembled, Naosaburo Okabe moved his division headquarters to the front line, and Shanwen Village was located in the central area of the Japanese artillery and front-line operations, so it was naturally the best suitable place for the Japanese division headquarters.

Shanwen Village, which was attacked by the Honor Fifth Regiment, is where the regimental headquarters of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army is located!

"Da Da Da!" The Browning heavy machine gun began to shoot desperately at the outlying positions of Shanwen Village, and a string of fires appeared, and the bullets rained down towards Shanwen Village.

"Boom, boom." THE FOUR INFANTRY GUNS OF THE MOUNTED ARTILLERY BATTALION, FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, FOUR 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, FOUR 120MM MORTARS WERE CONSTANTLY FIRING.

Bullets and shells began to attack the outlying positions of the Japanese army, and it was the 3rd Wing of the 15th Brigade that was guarding the safety of the regimental headquarters of the 1st Division.

The third wing was completely defeated, and they would have thought that the division headquarters would be suddenly attacked here.

The Honorable Fifth Regiment is a cavalry regiment with three cavalry battalions, one cavalry artillery battalion, and a machine gun company and an armored team directly under the regimental headquarters.

At present, the twenty-five light and heavy machine guns of the machine gun company and the twenty-four guns of the cavalry artillery battalion were all put into operation by Ge Haifeng, and at this time Ge Haifeng also realized that Shanwen Village was likely to be the headquarters of the little devils, but Ge Haifeng just thought that Shanwen Village was probably the headquarters of the Japanese army, and he definitely did not expect that this would be the headquarters of the Japanese division!

"Regiment commander, there are Japanese cavalry troops on the left, there are about six hundred people, it should be a cavalry wing of little devils, and there are many little devils near Shanwen Village, I'm afraid there are thousands of people. Commander, we seem to have bumped into the regimental headquarters of the little devil division. Chen Yang, chief of staff of the Honorary Fifth Regiment, came to Ge Haifeng, and he reported in a solemn tone.

"The armored team, the 1st Cavalry Battalion, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion ate the Japanese cavalry wing, the 3rd Cavalry Battalion, the machine gun company, the cavalry artillery battalion continued to suppress the Japanese firepower. Immediately contact the troops of the unknown regiment attacking Jinshan, and ask them to immediately abandon the attack on Jinshan, and after they all evacuate, the troops immediately give up attacking Shanwen Village. ”

Ge Haifeng immediately issued a combat order, knowing that it was the regimental headquarters of the Little Devil Division, Ge Haifeng knew that the Fifth Regiment of Honor was not capable of eating the other party, so he began to prepare to retreat.

You must know that the regimental headquarters of the first division of the Japanese army has an infantry wing, a cavalry wing to garrison, and the engineer wing directly under the division and regiment headquarters, and the baggage wing generally follow the division and regiment headquarters, and these Japanese troops are enough to have thousands of people.
