Chapter 658: Fighting on Two Fronts (Third Update!) )

"Chief of Staff, are the devils still building turrets these days?" Brigade Commander Chen asked, staring at the simple sand table in front of him.

"Under repair, more than a dozen turrets have started construction today, and they have not yet been marked on the sand table!" The chief of staff replied with a calm face.

Seeing the dense turrets on the sand table, Brigade Commander Chen's brows furrowed involuntarily.

At a glance, the base area with the red flag has been completely divided into a small piece by the devil's turret with the white flag, and the base area, which originally had a great strategic depth, is now completely gone. The troops operating in those base areas were completely divided by the devil's turrets and compressed into a long and narrow strip.

When the devil is not encircled and suppressed, everything is good.

But once the devils concentrated their heavy troops and surrounded them in different areas, the troops who were left behind in the narrow area did not even have a place to retreat and transfer.

replied with a calm face: "No, we can't let the devils build any more, these turrets plus the highway are like a net, covering all our troops in it." This big net must be broken, otherwise we will be surrounded by devils before we know it, and then wiped out! ”

The chief of staff reacted quickly: "Brigade commander, you mean, launch a large-scale sabotage battle and destroy these turrets!" ”

"Not bad!" Brigade Commander Chen affirmed.

The chief of staff immediately raised his concerns: "However, the mobile troops transported by the devil by car are a big trouble!" ”

"When the devils first built the turret, we had troops to fight. But as soon as the battle was halfway through, the devil reinforcements came by car and attacked front and back. In the end, not only did he fail to take the turret, but he also lost his troops when he broke through and retreated. ”

"We didn't have direct artillery, so we had to use explosives to blow up the turret. And the biggest problem in this way is time, it takes at least half an hour to take a turret, if the defenders are a little longer, an hour, or even two hours is possible, and this can only be done when the main force has several times the advantage of troops. However, the Devil's Mobile Force does not give us this time at all! ”

Brigade Commander Chen's brows furrowed even deeper, staring at the map and not speaking.

"Chief, a new rush of electricity!" Suddenly, the communications staff officer walked in.

"Wang Ping is more anxious than us, he can't sit still!" The chief of staff, who quickly read the telegram, reported and handed it to the brigade commander.

"He's under more pressure than the rest of our troops!" After reading the telegram, Brigade Commander Chen replied with a frown.

"Although the new regiment has regained some strength, the base outside the mountain is completely gone, and there is not even a fortress village. After the troops left the mountain, everything had to start from scratch, and they had to face the devil's cage policy at the beginning, this battle was not easy to fight! ”

But after only a few seconds of hesitation, the brigade commander made a decision: "Call Wang Ping back, agree to let them go out of the mountain, agree to form the fourth battalion of the new regiment, and the relevant battalion-level cadres will report to the brigade headquarters for the record as soon as possible!" ”

"In addition, after the new regiment leaves the mountain, it must report the situation once every three days!"

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brigade commander, do you want the new regiment to test the waters!" ”

Brigade Commander Chen replied affirmatively: "Someone has to try the devil's cage policy, since Wang Ping is invited to fight, let him go." He has a flexible brain, and maybe he can sum up a set of ways to deal with the devils in the battle, and break their cage policy. ”

After the liaison was sent out, the invalids locked themselves in their rooms to think about solutions.

Although he is only a company commander now, he believes that he can only improve if he thinks more.

However, after a few days, he could not think of any other solution than to storm with artillery and destroy the turrets along the road.

At this moment, the liaison officer returned, and also brought the radio team sent by Wang Ping.

"Commander Rong...... No, I can call you Camp Commander Rong now. The regimental headquarters telegraphed to officially appoint you as the commander of the fourth battalion of the new 1st regiment. The regiment commander asks you to complete the training of the troops within two days, and there may be a task issued in two days! ”

The long-awaited appointment documents are finally here.

The invalids threw away all the questions and worries in their minds at once, took the telegram and read it over and over again, completely immersed in the joy of being promoted.

The instructor was also stunned for a long time before he reacted, stared at the invalids and asked, "Company commander...... No, battalion commander, our fourth company has really expanded into four battalions! ”

"The order of the regiment commander, there will be no mistake!" It took a full five minutes for the invalids to calm down from their surprise.

With a serious face, he analyzed: "Instructor, the head of the regiment is in such a hurry, there must be a big action." My opinion is that the platoon should be expanded directly on the basis of the platoon, with the original platoon commander as the company commander, the deputy platoon commander as the instructor, and the squad leader as the platoon leader, and then select veterans from among the recruits to serve as the squad leader. ”

"Also, many people in the recruit camp originally let go of platoon commanders and squad leaders, as long as they have the ability, they can also be promoted and directly become platoon commanders and squad leaders!"

The instructor affirmed: "There is no problem with the cadres, there are many good seedlings among the recruits, especially the Northwest Army who joined us first." ”

"But there is a problem, the equipment is not enough, and half of the fighters in each company do not have guns. By the standards of the other three battalions, we are still short of five light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, and three grenadiers! ”

The Invalids' brows furrowed.

The leader of the liaison team standing in front of him suddenly interjected.

"Battalion Commander Rong, the commander of the equipment regiment has been prepared for you, just more, no less!"

At the new regiment station, Wang Ping had been staring at the map for almost half an hour.

Finally, he drew a big circle on Fengyun Town with a pen: "Right here, Chief of Staff, this is the closest to the Fourth Battalion, let's take Fengyun Town first and kill all the Japanese puppet troops in Fengyun Town!" ”

"Immediately send a telegram to the invalids, contact the third and seventh companies, take the platoon as a unit, quickly move to Fengyun Town to lurk, listen to the command of the fourth battalion commander Invalids, and wait for orders!"

Zhong Chenggong nodded and asked, "Then how do we get out!" If you take the dark road, you will definitely not be able to transport heavy equipment! ”

"Hit out!" Wang Ping affirmed.

"I'm going to let Matsumoto in Linfen City know that we're out of the mountain as soon as possible, and then send heavy troops to surround and intercept us!"

"Sound from east to west!" The chief of staff reacted quickly.

Wang Ping affirmed: "We will attack the blockade line head-on, attract the attention of the devils, and provide an opportunity for the invalids to take Fengyun Town!" ”

"As long as we make a hole here and connect with the four battalions, the two towns between Fengyun Town and the mountain under our feet will be surrounded by us, and then the devils in the encirclement have not yet reacted, kill them, and directly take down these three towns!"

Zhong Chenggong was shocked again: "Swallowing three towns in one bite, not the one town at the beginning!" ”

"Since we want to beat the devils, then we have a bigger appetite!" Wang Ping shouted with a proud face.
