Chapter 772: The Bold Chief of Staff (Third Update!) )
The commander finally agreed to Wang Ping's request.
Just when the whole of the new regiment was shrouded in the excitement of capturing a large amount of equipment and ammunition, in Linfen City, dozens of kilometers away, the brigade commander, Major General Matsumoto, was furious at the brigade headquarters regardless of his identity.
"General, the reinforcements reported that the road was destroyed when there were still ten kilometers to the battlefield. At present, the troops have abandoned their cars and are rushing to reinforce the army columns, striving to keep all the equipment and supplies on the military columns! The chief of staff replied with his head bowed, and his tone was very heavy.
Because, just now, the command has lost contact with the escort team on the military column.
This meant that the convoy in the military column was either wiped out or the radio station was broken.
And as long as there are no surprises, the former is obviously much more likely.
That's not all, just now, the stronghold of the railway garrison, which he regarded as his reliance, also lost contact.
The radios they are equipped with are hidden in the turret, and there is absolutely no possibility of the radio being destroyed, unless the turret is directly bombed. And if the turret is gone, the stronghold will definitely be finished.
"Let them speed up, ten kilometers away, an hour and a half, they must be on the battlefield!" Major General Matsumoto was in a bad mood and ordered with a frown.
Then he did not forget to add: "The military column guard and the railway garrison must be finished, and the Eighth Route Army must be rushing to transport the equipment and materials on our military column now." There are so many things, and it is absolutely impossible for them to transport them all in an hour and a half. After the troops arrived at the battlefield, they directly launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army to recapture the materials and equipment that we had been robbed, and they could take back as much as they could. However, the reinforcements could not go deep into the base area of the Eighth Route Army alone, and could only operate along the railway! ”
"Chief of Staff, isn't there still an excited army in Linfen City? Let them also set off and reinforce the battlefield! ”
"The return car will send them directly to the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, I'm afraid they will attack our reinforcements!"
Zhong Chenggong really had this idea, although he only had two companies of infantry on hand.
Because of the victory, the new regiment is now not only equipped, but also has several more radio stations.
Although they are all low-power radios, they are enough to be used on the new regiment.
Before the attack began, the reconnaissance platoon directly under the regiment was sent by Wang Ping to the outside of Linfen City.
As soon as the devil of a mixed brigade left the city, Zhong Chenggong received the news.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Jin, I have an idea of wanting to eat the devil's reinforcements, at least I have to hit them hard, what do you think!"
In the past, when the Northwest Army was fighting, in the face of the attack of a mixed brigade of devils, the main force had to gather at least two regiments to block them.
In front of him, the chief of staff only had two companies in his hands, and when he heard that the devil had come to a mixed brigade, Jin Kai's first thought subconsciously was how to use two companies to block the devil's attack.
After the chief of staff said that he wanted to completely annihilate or severely damage the devil, Jin Kai suddenly reacted.
He found that he was thinking about the battle again with the same thinking he had when he was in the Northwest Army.
He is now in the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, with strong combat effectiveness and excellent equipment. He was no longer the company commander of the Northwest Army with inferior equipment.
According to the combat style of the new regiment, as long as the tactical effect is obtained, it is really possible to completely annihilate the mixed brigade reinforced by the Japanese army.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied: "Chief of Staff, it's really possible!" ”
"Although we have only two companies of combat units, we have three fire companies, a reinforced heavy machine gun company, a reinforced mortar company, three infantry guns."
"A total of 26 mortars, 35 heavy machine guns, plus three infantry guns, more than a dozen light machine guns. If you prepare a pocket array for the devils, and let all the heavy weapons give full play to their firepower advantages. I'm sure it only takes one salvo to take out at least two hundred devils......"
"Let's do it!" The Chief of Staff made a decisive decision.
Then he ordered the operator next to him: "Contact the reconnaissance platoon immediately, they must have someone to reinforce the devil." I want to figure out the specific marching shape of the devil reinforcements after they get off the bus! ”
Yuntian Shaozuo was the commander of the mixed brigade of devils, because the troops were marching in a hurry, and they had just been driving for less than half an hour from the car, and the entire troops, including himself, became out of breath.
However, after thinking of the murderous order from the brigade commander, Major General Matsumoto, although he was very tired, he could only grit his teeth and continue to urge his subordinates to speed up.
"Boom...... ......Suddenly, a faint sound of gunfire and explosions reached my ears.
Yuntian Shaozuo, who was still exhausted just now, suddenly came to his senses!
"Yo Xi, there is still a battle on the military column, and the military column has not yet fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. The troops speed up, rush to the battlefield, take out the attacking Eighth Route Army, and at least repel them! ”
There is another reason why Yuntian Shaozuo is so happy.
When the Eighth Route Army has not yet taken the military column, even if it sends troops to help and block itself, it is only a part of the troops.
And once the Eighth Route Army takes the column, it will be different, they can concentrate all their forces and firepower against themselves.
When the time comes, it will be difficult for you to kill all the way to the battlefield.
Therefore, he must hurry up and break through the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army before the Eighth Route Army takes the military column and kill the battlefield.
In this way, you can achieve the maximum result with the minimum cost.
The tired devil ran faster and faster under the constant urging of Yuntian Shaozuo, and the mortar squadron, heavy machine gun squadron, and infantry artillery squad that could keep up with the team at the beginning, slowly began to fall behind!
"Sir, some people in the army have already begun to fall behind, can you slow down a little and let them keep up first!"
"No way!" Yuntian Shaozo refused without hesitation.
In order to minimize the losses of the entire mixed brigade, he will definitely not compromise.
After a moment's hesitation, he ordered: "Let's divide our troops and advance: I will take two infantry squadrons and cavalry squads to break through the interception of their blocking troops before the Eighth Route Army takes the military column, and launch an attack on the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army when they reach the battlefield!" ”
"You followed with the follow-up troops, went to the battlefield, and joined the battle directly."
The adjutant immediately reminded: "But, sir, the brigade commander has repeatedly explained that we can't divide the troops!" ”
Yuntian Shaozuo ordered without hesitation: "Execute the order, I will be responsible if something goes wrong!" ”
"It's less than five kilometers away from the battlefield here, and even if we divide our troops, the maximum distance between the two troops is no more than one kilometer, and we can completely reinforce each other!"
"Also, the Eighth Route Army hasn't even taken down the military columns, do you think they still have troops to ambush us?"
On the high ground on the hill, less than a kilometer away from the military column, a soldier of the reconnaissance platoon rushed over panting.
Before he could catch his breath, he reported: "Chief of Staff, the devil has divided his troops......"
"Two infantry squadrons and a cavalry squad rushed in front, very fast. The other devils followed, and it was only two kilometers away! ”
Zhong Chenggong frowned at first, and then a pair of eyes shot out two fine lights.
"Immediately adjust the deployment, this is almost what God gave us, the devil took the initiative to rush over and send him to death, we can't disagree!"
