Chapter 279: Mutual Calculations (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Various!! ）

On the 7th, the 309th Regiment outside the Yanmen Pass finally failed to take this famous pass, and after the night battle, the casualties were counted, and the 309th Regiment lost 778 people in the day's battle, accounting for 15 percent of the whole regiment. This loss made Jia Jinyuan extremely angry.

It is common for people to die in battle, Jia Jinyuan knows this better than anyone else, but the problem is that the enemies they encounter today are different. Previously, the reconnaissance unit had figured out the situation of the defenders of Yanmen Pass, and it was the eighth wing of the fourth division of the Japanese army. After learning the news, Jia Jinyuan called a joy, grandma, isn't this a credit to their 309 regiment. In the past, all the troops who fought against this Fourth Division, which was said to be composed of vegetable sellers from Osaka, Japan, did not make a lot of money. The emperor took turns, and when he came to my house this year, he finally let Jia Jinyuan meet such a time.

But Jia Jinyuan, who was full of joy, didn't expect that the good grandson in the eyes of others would become a grandfather in front of him, isn't this a slap in the face. Could it be that your grandfather Jia is a soft persimmon, and even the fourth division of the soft persimmon can be bullied, Jia Jinyuan can't figure it out.

Just when Jia Jinyuan was scolding the officers of the 309th Regiment at the headquarters, the phone suddenly rang.

The guard picked up and just said a few words, then put down the phone, and reported loudly: "Tuanzao, it's the phone of the division, he wants you to answer the phone!" ”

Jia Jinyuan hurriedly ran over and picked up the phone and said, "Report to the division, Jia Jinyuan of the 309th Regiment reports to you." ”

"Jia Huzi, you're fucking scolding your mother again, right?" Li Yifeng's hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Nope. No, absolutely nothing! Which dog day sued Lao Tzu in front of the teacher, you told me, I went to find him to theorize! Jia Jinyuan said with righteous words.

"Okay, okay, no one sued you for your troubles, don't you know what a son of a shit, if the attack doesn't go well, you'll call your subordinates and scold them." Li Yifeng said with a smile.

"No, Master"

"What isn't, do you kid dare to say that your regimental deputy, chief of staff, and three battalion commanders are not with you now?" Li Yifeng said.

"This division. It's not like today's battle, it's a bit of a wretch. was stunned and was repelled 11 times by the eighth wing of the dog day, what a fucking nest, the face of the 309th regiment was lost by this group of rabbits. Jia Jinyuan said.

"Okay, when you get to Lao Tzu, don't fucking chirp. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. What the hell do you think Yanmen Pass is? That's easy for you to overcome. It's normal that you can't beat it in just one day, so don't scold your mother. Li Yifeng said.

"Master's seat. So what do we do next? Jia Jinyuan asked.

"Your regiment continues to attack Yanmen Pass, tomorrow I will reinforce you with a new regiment, and I will also send a heavy artillery battalion to your side, and the headquarters will also order the air force to send fighters to assist you in attacking the city. Your battle tomorrow is not mainly to capture Yanmen Pass, but to teach those recruits how to fight. Of course, if you can really take Yanmen Pass, Lao Tzu won't blame you. Li Yifeng said loudly.

"Yes, swear to complete the mission!" Jia Jinyuan said.

"Get out, Lao Tzu doesn't need you to die, you have to give Lao Tzu a life, and accompany Lao Tzu to fight devils." Li Yifeng said loudly.

"Yes, guaranteed to live!"

At the time when the 222nd Division was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army at Yanmen Pass, Li Wensheng led two infantry divisions, one artillery division, and three recruit brigades, with the assistance of air defense, armor, and baggage units, to advance toward the Ningwu area controlled by the Japanese army.

This Ningwu is an important passage connecting the north of Jin and the northwest of Jin, in addition, Ningwu Pass is also an important pass on the Great Wall, and Yanmen Pass, partial pass together are called "outer three passes", the terrain is very dangerous.

Because Chiyoko Koga's intelligence team had already deciphered the telegrams from the Second Theater and had also clearly understood the troop deployment and detailed operational plans of the Second and Eighth Theaters, it was the absolute main force of the Eighth Theater that attacked Ningwu, and the Chinese army had more than 80,000 troops.

In order to block the Chinese army and buy time for the main force of the First Army to annihilate Sun Weiru's department, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Umezu Mijiro, specially sent the guard wing around him to Ningwu, and also said that the fourth division sent the 20th wing and two infantry brigades of the Imperial Association Army to Ningwu, plus a defender brigade in Ningwu before, and more than 14,000 people poured into the small Ningwu Pass at once, and the strength was extremely strong.

With these troops stationed at Ningwu Pass, General Umezu Mijiro was relieved. Although the Chinese army was several times larger than the Ningwu defenders, the Ningwu Pass was a difficult terrain and had very limited places to attack. The Chinese army had a small army of 100,000 troops, but there were only two regiments that could really participate in the siege battle, so it was very reassuring to have 14,000 troops stationed at Ningwuguan and Umezu Mijiro.

As Umezu Mijiro had predicted, the Chinese army had a huge number of troops, but it was blocked by more than 10,000 imperial troops in front of Ningwu Pass, and the defenders suffered only a few hundred casualties in a fierce battle for a whole day, while the Chinese army had no less than 500 corpses in front of the pass alone, and at least more than 1,000 casualties were added to the wounded.

What made General Umezu Mijiro even more pleased was that the troop mobilization in the World War Zone in China was indeed as Chiyoko Koga said, all the way to Luliang, all the way to Fenyang, and all the way to Qixian. Assembled in the area of Luliang was the headquarters of Sun Weiru of the Fourth Group Army of China.

According to the battle plan, the Xia Yuan Xiong Mi Department should occupy the area of Xiaoloufeng and Yingpangou before Sun Weiru's department arrived in Gujiao, and set up a pocket array there, waiting for the arrival of Sun Weiru's department. Of course, before that, the First Army had to fend off several other Chinese attacks.

The news from the front line was constantly sent to Datong, and after reading all the battle reports from the front line, Chen Feng's brows couldn't help frowning, this time the little devil's actions were so weird. According to the intelligence department reconnaissance information before, the Japanese army in Ningwu Pass only had more than 1,000 people, and according to the advance estimate, it would take at most one day to capture Ningwu Pass, but I did not expect that the Japanese army would increase troops in Ningwu Pass in such a short time, and it was in place at one time.

With the terrain of Ningwu Pass, the army may have to pay a great price if it wants to successfully take this pass, and what surprised Chen Feng the most was that the Japanese army seemed to have known their marching route in advance, and even Chen Feng had a premonition in his subconscious, that is, the Japanese army even knew his troop deployment.

After thinking about it, Chen Feng still decided to let Yang Yi plan ahead, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

The Fuping Independent Brigade Brigade became the headquarters of the Second Route Army at this time.

Before coming, Yang Yi had already telegraphed with the five independent brigades operating in Hebei, and he also learned about these five brigades in detail. To Yang Yi's delight, the overall strength of these five brigades is not bad, although the weapons and equipment are a little worse, but if they are properly commanded, they can still be competent for the tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief.

Therefore, before coming, Yang Yi specially brought a batch of weapons and equipment from the headquarters to these five brigades in Hebei, the number is very large, and it can completely equip an integrated division. When passing through Laiyuan, he left a part for the Laiyuan Independent Brigade, and then asked Li Fuhai to send a part to the Yixian Independent Brigade. But most of the equipment Yang Yi was still brought to Fuping County, except for a small part left for the Fuping Independent Brigade, and the rest he had to hand over to the Nangong Independent Brigade and the Handan Independent Brigade.

The operational telegram had already been sent, and at this time the Laiyuan Independent Brigade had joined forces with the Yishui Independent Brigade, and the entire army had a total of 4 regular field regiments and 3 supplementary regiments, totaling 16,500 people, and these two brigades were going straight to Baoding according to Yang Yi's intentions.

The Nangong Independent Brigade and the Handan Independent Brigade have also quietly arrived at Cangyan Mountain southeast of Shimen, and as long as the weapons and equipment arrive, they can change their outfits and move forward. But it was too dangerous to carry so many weapons and equipment across the Zhengtai line, so Yang Yi planned to let the special combat team capture Jingcheng Pass first, and then send the weapons and equipment directly to Jingcheng Pass, and the Nangong Independent Brigade and Handan Independent Brigade received equipment at Jingcheng Pass.

But as it happened, just when Yang Yi ordered the special combat team to act, news came from the intelligence department that a batch of military supplies from the Japanese army was urgently being transported to Shanxi, with a total of 4 trains and 55 wagons. According to information gathered by the intelligence services, the wagons were filled with weapons and ammunition. In addition, the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Shimen has already led the whole army to set out from Shimen this morning, and the army is marching in the direction of Yangquan, apparently preparing to withdraw to the Shanxi battlefield.

The 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army withdrew to Shanxi, and the Japanese defenders in Shimen were left with only one infantry brigade, and the Japanese reinforcements were still on the road at this time, and it would take 5 days to arrive at the earliest.

After receiving the news, Yang Yi was pleasantly surprised, and was surprised that the front-line battle was in full swing at this time, and if this batch of weapons and equipment arrived in Shanxi, it would definitely cause huge losses to the army to recover Taiyuan. And the commander-in-chief's plan to cut off the transportation channels of the Japanese army was also bankrupt. The good news is that such a military movement of the Japanese army is giving the Chinese army a chance.

Yang Yi sent a report to Xu Bao and ordered him to send a small special forces team to intercept and blow up these columns. However, due to the fact that the Japanese army could not succeed in its tight defense, the military train had stopped since it entered the Shimen Railway Station and did not move further.

After pondering deeply, Yang Yi simply ordered the special combat team to immediately capture Jingcheng Pass, and the weapons and equipment would also be sent to Jingcheng Pass later. At the same time, the two brigades of Nangong and Handan were ordered to immediately go north, and then the army was ambushed on both sides of the Zhengtai Railway at Jingcheng Pass, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army. And he himself led the Fuping Independent Brigade to take Shimen directly, forcing the Japanese 20th Division to return to Shimen, and then the army would give him a pot. (To be continued......)
