In the shelter temporarily dug by the third brigade of the 132nd Wing, more than 400 devil soldiers were making the last resistance, and the captain of the Shaozuo brigade held a telescope and constantly commanded the troops to counterattack.

As the mechanized artillery company of the flank armored battalion followed the armored battalion to fight in Qianhuang'an Village, the pressure on the third brigade here was instantly relieved a lot, although there were more than 1,000 troops of the new second brigade in front of him, but the captain of the Shaozuo brigade thought that he could hold the position.

More than 100 devil soldiers took out the sapper shovels they carried, they quickly dug deep defensive positions behind, light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers were all placed on the front line, dozens of devil soldiers with rifles carefully exposed their heads, they shot accurately at the cavalry.

The Japanese troops are well-trained, their ability to dig fortifications is not bad, it was originally a proposed temporary brigade headquarters, but at this time it has been dug into a fortification, and the devil soldiers are still digging, they obviously intend to form a defense in depth and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

This group of devil soldiers has no idea of evacuating, and of course Sun Weiguo will not let them have a chance to evacuate, and they stay on the position, obviously echoing Sun Weiguo's idea.

"Brigade commander, the 1st Combat Group sent a telegram, the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Mixed Combat is currently making a detour from the area north of Baijing Town, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Independent Regiment attacked and intercepted, encountered a surprise attack by Japanese artillery and armored units, and the two battalions of the Independent Regiment suffered more than 400 casualties. Artillery commander Zheng Jingjing engaged in an artillery battle with the Japanese army without authorization, and the artillery group currently has only nine Type 94 mountain guns and four Type 41 mountain guns, and the artillery losses are equally heavy. ”

When Sun Weiguo was holding a telescope to observe the position of the Japanese Third Brigade, Luo Hongyi, the company commander of the communications company, came to Sun Weiguo, and he whispered the telegram he had just received.

"Where is the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Mixed Combat now?" When Sun Weiguo heard this report, he immediately put down his binoculars and asked.

At this time, the expression on Sun Weiguo's face was very calm, but when he heard that the two battalions of the Independent Regiment had suffered more than 400 casualties, Sun Weiguo felt very uncomfortable, and the casualties of more than 400 people were almost equivalent to the loss of half of the strength of the Independent Regiment, and the Independent Regiment was now completely disabled except for the cavalry battalion.

Sun Weiguo also came out of the independent regiment, he has a special affection for the old independent regiment, the troops of the new second brigade are completely separated from the independent regiment, and now the independent regiment has paid such a big casualty, Sun Weiguo is a little unacceptable, but now is the time to fight, he must remain calm.

"The independent regiment and artillery group dragged the Japanese artillery units and armored units, the first battalion of Yuewu quickly attacked the Japanese artillery positions, and the troops of the first brigade of the melee were currently dragged in the area of Wangkou Village, seven kilometers north of Baijing Town, and the two brigades of the Qin detachment commander have rushed to participate in the battle, but the Japanese army has armored troops and artillery units, it is difficult for us to eat them, and if we want to stop them from advancing, it will also require great casualties." Luo Hongyi continued to make a report.

Zheng Jingjing did the right thing and told Zheng Jingjing that it doesn't matter if the artillery runs out, but the artillery must be retained, these artillerymen are talents. Contact the commander of the first battle group, Captain Qin, and ask Captain Qin to stop the first brigade of the Japanese melee before we encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Donghui Town anyway. ”

After Sun Weiguo hesitated for a moment, he looked at Luo Hongyi and said in a serious tone.

The troops of the Independent Regiment suffered great losses, and Sun Weiguo felt very uncomfortable, but he knew that at this time he had to calm down and command the operation.

No matter how much casualties the first battle group took, they had to hold back the Japanese 1st Brigade in the melee, and this was their task, and they had to do it outside.

Luo Hongyi glanced at Sun Weiguo, he nodded, and prepared to return to Donghui Town to send a telegram to the headquarters of the first battle group.

Sun Weiguo called Luo Hongyi softly, he looked at Luo Hongyi, and after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say anything.

Originally, Sun Weiguo wanted Luo Hongyi to send a telegram directly to the Qin detachment leader and ask the Qin detachment leader to transfer the independent regiment troops back from Baijing Town, but Sun Weiguo knew very well that if Sun Weiguo really did this, it would bring some emotions to other troops and make them feel that Sun Weiguo was favoring one over the other.

Luo Hongyi glanced at Sun Weiguo suspiciously, and after seeing Sun Weiguo waving his hand gently, Luo Hongyi immediately ran back towards Donghui Town.

"Xiao Wang, find the battalion commander Ge Haifeng of the cavalry battalion, and ask him to transfer two companies back to the side of the Japanese army to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through, and transfer Chen Guitang's cavalry battalion to Donghui Town as a reserve. In addition, bring Ge Haifeng and Huang Gang to me immediately, I have orders to give them. Sun Weiguo said again after Luo Hongyi left.

The guard Xiao Wang immediately agreed, he quickly ran to the front, and after a while, Ge Haifeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Huang Gang, the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment, came to Sun Weiguo.

But before they could say anything, Chen Guitang, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment, quickly came to Sun Weiguo.

The expression on Chen Guitang's face was a little depressed, and after coming to Sun Weiguo, because it was on the battlefield, Chen Guitang did not salute, he asked directly: "Deputy commander, what do you mean by this, although the equipment of our cavalry battalion is not as good as that of the cavalry battalion of the new Second Brigade, and the number of people is not as large as theirs, but our cavalry battalion is all iron-clad men, and it is still unambiguous to fight devil soldiers, why don't you let us participate in the war." ”

Previously, the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment was responsible for cutting off the rear of the Japanese army, and they did not find any combat there.

Now that the number of Japanese troops in the former Huang'an Village is increasing, this Japanese army seems to have the intention of reinforcing it, and it is very likely that a battle will occur immediately in the place where the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment is stationed, but at this time, their troops have been transferred to Donghui Town as a reserve.

Such an order is not to be said that the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment cannot understand it, even the battalion commander Chen Guitang cannot accept it, he did not let the troops retreat to Donghui Town, but came directly and quickly to Sun Weiguo, he wanted an explanation.

"Battalion Commander Chen, the troops cannot fight without reserves, the task of the reserves is also arduous, you have to obey orders." Sun Weiguo said patiently.

Let Chen Guitang's cavalry battalion serve as a reserve, this is Sun Weiguo's desire to leave a little seed for the independent regiment, because he knows that the battle in Baijing Town is very difficult.

The First Battle Group has different troop formations, and Sun Weiguo naturally cannot favor one over the other, which will directly affect the morale of the First Battle Group.

However, most of the troops of the Second Battle Group were troops of the New Second Brigade, and it was reasonable to leave Chen Guitang's cavalry battalion as a reserve.

"Deputy commander, I know that the main force of the Independent Regiment has suffered heavy casualties in Baijing Town, and I also know that you are sincere for the good of our Independent Regiment, but I hope you can give our cavalry battalion a chance, our foreign troops can't be visitors when they come here, we also have to fight with the little devils, our cavalry battalion is not vegetarian, the little devils want to encircle and annihilate us, they may not have this ability." Chen Guitang looked at Sun Weiguo in front of him, and he said in an unusually serious tone.
