Chapter 681 - Know what to do
The Sixth Cavalry Regiment is the most elite unit of the new Second Brigade, and the whole regiment has an armored battalion, a cavalry battalion, a mechanized infantry battalion, and a cavalry artillery battalion.
Sun Weiguo made a deployment, the officers of the First Regiment and the Independent Regiment, you look at me, I look at you, with an incredible expression on his face.
It's just that due to the inertia of the past, even if Sun Weiguo does something bolder, they will only be stunned, but they will not raise any objections.
Because they all know that Sun Weiguo's deployment is all correct, and Sun Weiguo's deployment has never been wrong.
The Sixth Cavalry Regiment was about to go to Zanhuang County to fight, and the flexible defensive tactics adopted by the Operations Section of the General Staff Office naturally lacked a large counteroffensive force, and the section chief of the Operations Section began to discuss a new combat plan with Qin Xianliang and Yin Jin of the General Staff Office.
Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong and Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu Jianwei looked at the map, and they showed solemn expressions.
As chief of staff and deputy chief of staff of the New Second Brigade, Zhao Lerong and Zhu Jianwei cannot only look at the current battle, they have to consider the battle in various aspects.
As the Sixth Cavalry Regiment is going to Zanhuang County to fight, they need to provide a good and feasible combat plan for the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and this combat plan must be combined with the combat plan of the New Second Brigade, after all, the two sides must cooperate in the operation.
Sun Weiguo sat in a chair, and he talked with the officers from time to time, and the expression on his face was calm.
Since the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region replenished the lost personnel of the New Second Brigade and the independent regiment joined the establishment of the New Second Brigade, Sun Weiguo had great confidence in his heart.
He believed that he would be able to win this battle, and not only that, but Sun Weiguo also wanted to use this defensive battle to break the tradition that the Chinese troops could only resist the Japanese attack by deploying a large number of troops, and he wanted to use the defensive battle of the New Second Brigade to prove that as long as the weaponry and equipment reached a certain level, the Chinese troops could resist the Japanese attack with the same number or even a larger number of Japanese troops.
This time the operational meeting lasted until about two o'clock in the morning, and the officers of the three regiments and the personnel of the brigade headquarters drew up detailed battle plans.
The troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment were to enter Zanhuang County overnight and stand by, the troops of the Independent Regiment were responsible for the defense of the three towns of Guanshan Town, Baijing Town, and Donghui Town, and the 1st Regiment was responsible for the defense of the three towns of Zhixi Town, Suoxuan Town, and Zhangzhuang Town.
The 1st Artillery Battalion used four 105MM cannons and four 105MM field guns to set up a heavy artillery position in the county seat of Pingding County, which was commanded by Liang Zerui, the artillery commander and commander of the 1st Artillery Battalion, and was responsible for supporting the independent regiment and the 1st pre-regiment.
Huang Guohua's guard battalion was transferred back to the county town and served as the brigade headquarters guard unit.
The engineer company and reconnaissance battalion units under the brigade headquarters followed the 6th Cavalry Regiment to Zanhuang County to fight, and at the same time, Yang Tiezhu's communication company radio should be distributed to the battalion-level units of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, so that the various units could use communication with each other over a long distance.
At present, all regiments and regimental headquarters have radio stations, but it is still difficult to distribute radio stations to battalion-level units.
This time, the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment went to Zanhuang County to fight alone, and for the sake of communication between various departments, many radio stations of the communication company were distributed to the 6th Cavalry Regiment.
At the same time, the Japanese army's radio stations were very capable of deciphering, and in order to maintain the confidentiality of the messages, each regiment had to have a code name.
Sun Weiguo's code name is Bamboo Sword, which is the first code name in the new Second Brigade.
Qin Xianliang, chief of the General Staff Officer, began to give the First Advance Regiment, the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and the Independent Regiment three code names of "Tiger Ben", "Bow and Arrow", and "Axe Yue" respectively.
After the combat meeting, officers at all levels began to return to the troops to prepare, and Sun Weiguo followed Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng to the 6th Cavalry Regiment by car.
Four of the damaged tanks of the 6th Cavalry Regiment have been repaired, and there are still 34 tanks in the 6th Cavalry Regiment, but fortunately, there are some stocks of captured Japanese armored vehicles, and the armored vehicles are often punched out by armor-piercing shells, and they can continue to be used as long as they are repaired.
"The troops are fighting on the front line, and if the commander blindly fights according to the orders of his superiors, the troops will definitely have problems. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and when it is too late to ask for instructions, the commander must make a judgment based on the situation on the battlefield. I believe that you will be able to handle the battle in Zanhuang County well, and remember one thing, when you continue to suffer from the chaos, you must be resolute in making decisions, and the harm of using troops is the greatest. ”
On the bed of the truck, Sun Weiguo looked at Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng, and he said in a serious tone
"Brigadier Commander, we know what to do, we've been following you for so long, we've learned a lot. Please rest assured, I will definitely bring back the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment safely, and I promise that I will not let the 6th Cavalry Regiment suffer too much loss. ”
Yin Jinshan, the commander of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, immediately replied with a confident expression on his face.
"Brigade Commander, I will cooperate with Regiment Commander Yin's command." Ge Haifeng also immediately replied.
Hearing Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng's words, Sun Weiguo nodded, he didn't continue to say more, for these two people, Sun Weiguo believed it.
They are all studious, Yin Jinshan is an armored soldier, he doesn't know anything about cavalry, but because the Sixth Cavalry Regiment has cavalry, Yin Jinshan humbly asked Ge Haifeng for cavalry tactics and understood the situation of the cavalry, Ge Haifeng is the same, he learned the tactics of armored troops from Yin Jinshan, and can skillfully drive tanks and armored vehicles.
The truck carrying Sun Weiguo, Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng quickly drove towards Donghui Town, and after a while, the truck arrived at Donghui Town.
Because when he was at the brigade headquarters before, Yin Jinshan asked the officers and men of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment to prepare for departure by phone, and when they came here, the officers and men of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment had already been prepared, and Liu Ke, the chief of staff of the regiment, stood in front of the queue with the officers.
When the truck carrying Sun Weiguo drove over, the officers saluted the truck.
The truck stopped advancing, Sun Weiguo jumped out of the carriage, and he came to the officers and soldiers of the 6th Cavalry Regiment.
Looking at the officers and soldiers in front of him, Sun Weiguo had a calm smile on his face.
"I think you all know what to do next, and you may be full of different ideas in your minds. Some people will think that this is a risky operation, and some people will think that this time the 6th Cavalry Regiment will be wiped out in Zanhuang County, but I will not think so, I have given you a combat order, and I believe that the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment will be able to complete the task. Ladies and gentlemen, whether or not you can hold Pingding County in this operation depends on your operations in Zanhuang County. ”
Sun Wei said calmly in Chinese, and then he gave the order to set off, and he raised his right hand and saluted the officers and soldiers in return.
