[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 445: Target - Baozi Bay! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

In the nameless mountains and forests, Hu Yanbing, commander of the assault brigade of the Suicha Military Region, and others were anxiously waiting for news from the reconnaissance company. Everyone is naturally familiar with this Huyan brigade commander, who was originally an officer in the active duty unit of the Navy, and the officer was the captain of the Colonel. When he participated in the Battle of Wuhan last year, he was seconded by Ma Zheng from Xie Gangzhe of the Wuhan River Defense Command, and after the battle, Hu Yanbing did not return to serve in the navy of the Nationalist Government, but returned to the Suicha Military Region with more than 500 naval soldiers with Ma Zheng.

After returning to the Suicha Military Region, Hu Yanbing was first appointed as the battalion commander of the guard regiment, and then appointed as the commander of the fire support regiment.

According to the order of the former enemy command, this time their assault brigade, as the sharp knife of the whole army, took the lead in attacking the Japanese army on the Datong line, and approached the city of Datong as quickly as possible.

According to the battle plan formulated by the former enemy headquarters, their assault brigade will launch a surprise attack on the Japanese troops on the Fengzui Liang and Deshengbao lines this night to break down the Japanese defense line on this line in the shortest possible time, and then go all the way south to Datong with the cooperation of mechanized infantry, while the follow-up troops will follow up quickly and must capture this important town in northern Shanxi in the shortest possible time.

In fact, as early as 8 o'clock this evening, they had already arrived in this nameless mountain forest, but because they did not know the Japanese army layout on the front line of Deshengbao, Guojiayao, and Fengzuiliang, the Huyan soldiers did not let the troops continue to advance, but rested on the spot, and sent reconnaissance troops to go deep into the enemy's territory to conduct reconnaissance.

But what is worrying is that the reconnaissance company has been away for two hours, but there is still no news, which makes Hu Yanbing and others feel a little worried. You must know that this battle is the first show of their assault brigade after its formation, and it is not good to fight well and the honor of the assault brigade. At the same time, as the vanguard of the whole army, if they do not go well, they will have a great impact on the command of the former enemy.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Shi Dingfang hurriedly came in and said, "Brigade commander, the reconnaissance company has sent a telegram, and the situation has been clarified. ”

"Hurry up and talk about the arrangement of the little devils, we have been waiting for their information for a long time!" Hu Yanbing said in a deep voice.

Shi Dingfang naturally knew that Huyanbing was in a hurry, so he didn't ramble, and immediately said: "The Japanese army has arranged about two wings of troops on this line, including one wing of infantry and one wing of engineers. Among them, the infantry wing is stationed on the first line of Fengzuiliang, Guojiayao, and Baoziwan, while the engineer wing is stationed on the first line of Deshengbao and Guantunbao. ”

"Well, the Japanese army deployed troops here mainly to prevent the civilians in our army's defense area from escaping into their occupied areas, so as to bring the plague into the Japanese-occupied areas, so they were arranged in such a formation. The long snake formation, the most suitable for the assault of armored troops, it seems that this battle should not be very difficult! By the way, what is the firepower configuration of the Japanese army, is there such a heavy weapon as tanks and armored vehicles, is there a puppet army? Huyanbing said.

"Brigade commander, there are no heavy weapons, not even artillery is few. However, there are a lot of cars, two wings of at least 100 large trucks, I think this area should be deserted, several major battles have scared the people here away, the Japanese army in this line can not be supplied, can only be transported by car from Datong City. As for the puppet army, the reconnaissance company did not say that there should not be many. Shi Dingfang replied.

"What is the state of Japanese alert?"

"The vigilance of this group of Japanese puppet troops is very high, the guard post has been placed a kilometer away, and there are troops patrolling along several strongholds all the time."

"Normally, the little devils are mainly to prevent the plague refugees from escaping into Datong, and the night is the best time for the people to go south, so their vigilance at night is naturally high. But it doesn't matter, we are a mechanized unit, and the assault capability is by no means comparable to ordinary troops, even if the Japanese army is highly vigilant, it is useless, under the tracks of tanks, with a long snake formation and no anti-tank trenches, this group of Japanese troops is finished! Huyanbing said.

After speaking, Hu Yanbing said to several subordinate regiment commanders: "Everyone understands the general situation, our current position is here, less than 20 kilometers away from the forward position of the Japanese army, and we can arrive in half an hour at the speed of cars and armored vehicles, so the time for our attack is set at 11 o'clock." The specific battle plan was to take the armored regiment as the vanguard, the mechanized infantry regiment to follow, and the artillery regiment to the rear. Fight the infantry wing with the strongest combat effectiveness first, the armored regiment will open the way intuitively, and the rest will be handed over to the infantry regiment to clean up. ”

"Brigade commander, why do we have to participate in the battle after our artillery regiment!" Liu Qingwu, the commander of the artillery regiment, said loudly.

", your artillery regiment has no mission this time, can you put a bayonet on the cannon?"

"No, but we have shells! We can shoot more than a dozen shots from the infantry with one shot! Liu Qingwu was not convinced.

"Without that time, the role of this artillery is minimal, at most it can fire a few rounds at the beginning of the war, it is not very useful, it is enough to have armored troops. The task of your artillery is to exert its strength when attacking Datong, and this assault operation will be given to Lao Tzu to stay behind. Hu Yanbing said loudly.

Liu Qingwu knew that what the brigade commander said was reasonable, but when he thought of such an important battle, and his artillery regiment was watching the excitement in the back, he felt depressed.

Seeing that Liu Qingwu seemed to be a little emotional, Hu Yanbing smiled and said, "Little Liuzi, don't look like a frosty bear, it's not that you won't be able to make a move, but it's not time." Think about it, your artillery regiment has more than 60 mountain artillery, field artillery, and rocket artillery, which are comparable to an artillery brigade of the Kuomintang Central Army, how can Lao Tzu let you hide behind and watch the play with such a powerful artillery force, and when you arrive in Datong, it will be your turn to perform, and if you can't sing tricks to Lao Tzu at that time, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”

"Yes, you're optimistic!"

Then Hu Yanbing continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the commander asked our assault brigade to take the lead this time, firstly, because the commander intends to make a quick decision and break through quickly, and there is no unit in the whole army except our assault brigade that can take on this important task. The second is that the commander wants to test our newly formed troops, so you must fight this battle well for Lao Tzu, don't embarrass Lao Tzu! Do you understand everything? ”

"Got it!"

"Okay, let's do the order!"

Baoziwan is an important market town located between Datong and Fengzhen, and it is also the most important stronghold of the Japanese army on this line, and the wing headquarters of the first wing of the 27th division of the Japanese army was stationed here at this time.

In an open space five kilometers away from Baozi Bay, Hu Yanbing, Shi Dingfang and others stood quietly at the front of the troops, waiting for the troops to assemble.

"Report to the brigade commander, the first battalion of the armored regiment has been assembled, it should be 125 people, but it is 125 people, please instruct! Li Jinbao, commander of the first battalion of the armored regiment. ”

"Report to the brigade commander, the second battalion of the armored regiment has been assembled, it should be 125 people, but it is 125 people, please instruct! Ma Ying, commander of the second battalion of the armored regiment. ”

"Report to the brigade commander, the third battalion of the armored regiment has been assembled"

"Report to the Brigadier Commander"

Soon the troops were assembled, and then Hu Yanbing said loudly: "All of them!" Take a break, stand upright! Comrades, five kilometers away is the Japanese defense line, the commander ordered us to tear this enemy line of defense to pieces, and kill all those little devils raised by bitches, do you have confidence? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

"Okay, it is worthy of being a soldier of our Suicha Military Region, and it is worthy of being a soldier brought out by Commander Ma Zheng, very good. Now I order, the armored regiment will attack, and the mechanized infantry regiment will cooperate in the operation, this attack will not be the main or secondary, all directions will be the main attack, and the armored troops will fight wherever they are the main battlefield. Well, now the whole army is marching together, slowly approaching the Japanese camp, the target - Baozi Bay! "Hu Yanbing gave the final assault order!

A few years later, the former captain of the navy gave the most proud order in his life, and a few years later, he is already an admiral of the Republic, and he still clearly remembers every word he said at this moment, especially the three words of Baoziwan. (To be continued.) )
