Chapter 232: Bold Ideas

The battle in Chengjiazhen is over.

Local troops and militias in the fifth sub-sector are cleaning up the battlefield.

The new 1st Regiment, the new 2nd Regiment and the 772nd Regiment that participated in the battle have already withdrawn from the battlefield.

Because Li Yunlong was not here, Cheng Shifa finally grabbed the main attack this time.

But the result is a bit miserable, after the end of the battle, the 772nd Regiment alone carried down more than 500 bodies from the battlefield, counting the new 1st Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment is close to 1,000.

There were even more wounded, and the 772nd Regiment was basically disabled.

The combat effectiveness of the 4th Guards Infantry Wing is still extremely strong.

The Sasaki detachment was formed on the basis of an infantry brigade of the 4th Guards Infantry Wing.

Most of these devils from Kofu, Tokyo are young and strong, and they have been brainwashed by military ideology since childhood, so most of them are not afraid of death on the battlefield.

It is a common phenomenon for these little devils to knock a grenade before they die and die with the Eighth Route Army.

So in the end, although the Eighth Route Army had an absolute superiority in strength and firepower, the two sides still played a one-to-one battle loss ratio.

The devils suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

The Eighth Route Army also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

The only difference is that the Eighth Route Army won the battle and took control of the battlefield.

So the more than 2,000 casualties of the devils became more than 2,000 killed.

The more than 2,000 casualties of the Eighth Route Army became more than 1,000 killed and more than 1,000 seriously wounded.

However, with the current medical conditions of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Hospital, these seriously wounded can basically be saved, and in a few months, more than 1,000 elite veterans will be alive and well.

……

386 Brigade Headquarters.

The brigade commander asked: "Chief of Staff, are the more than a thousand soldiers who died in battle buried?" ”

"Buried." The chief of staff nodded and said, "I didn't dare to engrave the monument, but I have already made a mark in secret." ”

During the war years, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army were not good, and the fallen soldiers could only be buried on the spot, but because it was an enemy-occupied area, they did not dare to engrave any inscriptions, so as not to be desecrated by the little devils.

The brigade commander said again: "Have you written down the names of the fallen soldiers?" ”

The chief of staff said: "The record is written down, but some soldiers only know the nickname, not the tuba, and there is no complete record of their origin, but it is difficult to find their relatives." ”

The brigade commander sighed, there are still many such soldiers.

At that time, the Long March was even worse, and many soldiers did not even have nicknames.

Wang Ye next to him persuaded: "The two chiefs don't have to care, wait until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of the whole country, and then slowly visit the families of the martyrs." ”

"That's all for now."

The chief of staff said: "At present, even if our party wants to be compensated, it is more than willing but not enough. ”

"On the day when the revolution is victorious, I will definitely visit the relatives and orphans of the fallen soldiers one by one, and no matter what, let their relatives have something to rely on for the old and the young."

While he was talking, a telegram was sent from the communications corps.

After reading the telegram, the brigade commander handed it to the chief of staff.

After reading it, the chief of staff handed the telegram to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye took it and looked at it, only to see that there were only four short words on the telegram copying paper: everything is ready.

Although there are only four words, Wang Ye knows the meaning of these four words, that is, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the Taihang Military Region are ready to evacuate.

The machinery and equipment, including the water kiln Arsenal, have also been packaged.

The chief of staff said: "Next, it is time to enter the second phase of the anti-sweeping operation. ”

The first stage of the operation is to break and tear the blockade line of Zhengtai Road from the front, and annihilate as many devils and puppet troops along Zhengtai Road as possible.

The second phase of the operation is to create momentum and force the devils along the Zhengtai Road to concentrate their forces and move a random column into the hinterland of the Taihang Military Region, so as to create an opportunity for the transfer of the headquarters organs and the people of the Taihang Military Region.

Hearing this, the brigade commander nodded, and asked again, "Where has Li Yunlong's independent regiment gone?" ”

The chief of staff said: "I have just passed Miaoqian Village, and it is less than five miles away from the brigade headquarters. ”

"This kid, he's quite fast." The brigade commander snorted and said, "What about the casualties?" ”

"There were basically no casualties in the Independence Regiment." The chief of staff said with some emotion, "There are more than 100 casualties, which is insignificant compared to the casualties of the 772nd regiment." ”

"Li Yunlong, this kid!"

The brigade commander couldn't help but boast: "When you fight, you can always come up with all kinds of ghost ideas." ”

"If the effect is good, the casualties of the troops will be much smaller, this was the case with the last attack on Lijiapo, this time it was blocked, and the same is true with the Cangyunling attack."

"Such cadres are simply treasures."

"In contrast, Cheng Shifa will only fight in a daze."

"This time I had a tough encounter with the devils, and the 772nd Regiment was already injured."

The brigade commander praised Li Yunlong a few words, but the result was that he quickly crooked the building and began to count Cheng Shifa.

Speaking of this, he asked the chief of staff again: "Chief of staff, why don't you send a report to the headquarters and change the regiment?" ”

"I think so." The chief of staff nodded, "After a night of fierce fighting, especially the battle in Chengjiazhen, the 772nd Regiment has been reduced by more than half, and the number of combatants is less than 1,000, so it really can't afford to stay behind." ”

"And if the 772nd Regiment is transferred, leaving only the Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment, it is inevitable that some troops will be insufficient."

"Therefore, I think it is necessary to transfer a main regiment from the brother brigade to strengthen the strength of the mobile column, and even I think that one regiment may be less, and it is better to transfer two more regiments."

The brigade commander turned his gaze to Wang Ye again and asked, "Xiao Wang, what is your opinion?" ”

Wang Ye was a little surprised, don't you need to ask me about this, right? I'm just a pawn.

Wang Ye subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the brigade commander quickly said: "Xiao Wang, don't shirk it, the entire breakthrough plan was formulated by you, so your opinion is very important." ”

The brigade commander has said this, and Wang Ye can no longer shirk it.

At that moment, Wang Ye said: "Two leaders, in fact, the number of troops has never been the point. ”

"Oh? Isn't the number of troops the point? The brigade commander and the chief of staff looked at each other, a little stunned.

The chief of staff also said: "Xiao Wang, this is not right, right? If the strength of the mobile column is reduced, not to mention the question of how long it can hold Shuiyao Mountain, what if Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, becomes suspicious and suspects that the mobile column is not the main force of the military region, and then goes back to pursue and suppress the headquarters organs and the people in the base areas who have scattered and broken through? ”

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, it won't." Wang Ye said very firmly.

"Yoshio Shinozuka will never suspect that he is not the main force of the military region just because there are only a few thousand troops left in the mobile column, and I even have a bold idea."

"Bold ideas?" The brigade commander asked, "What thoughts?" ”

Wang Ye said: "Not only can the 772nd regiment be transferred, but the artillery regiment can also be transferred at least half!" ”

"What?" The chief of staff's face changed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The artillery regiment is also transferred halfway?" ”

"Yes." Wang Ye said, "The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th companies of the artillery regiment are equipped with 92 infantry guns, which are light in weight and can be disassembled, and can be carried by mules and horses on rugged mountain roads. ”

"So, it's not going to be restricted by the road at all."

"The main forces of the military region were transferred to the mountains south of Zhengtai Road,"

"It's going to be very difficult at the beginning."

"It would be much easier if you had these 3 infantry artillery batteries."

The brigade commander and the chief of staff glanced at each other again, and what Wang Ye said was undoubtedly right.

Although the mountainous areas south of Zhengtai Road and east of the Baijin Line also belong to the Taihang Military Region, the development focus of the Taihang Military Region has always been in the mountainous areas north of Zhengtai Road.

Therefore, after the main force of the military region is transferred to the mountainous area south of Zhengtai Road, the situation will definitely be very difficult at the beginning.

To put it mildly, in the future, it will be very difficult to encounter a slightly stronger turret or stronghold, and it will be possible to take it after paying a lot of sacrifice.

But with 3 companies of 92 infantry guns, the situation would be very different.

At least it will be very easy to uproot some of the devil's small strongholds.

At that moment, the brigade commander said: "However, if you take away 3 92 infantry artillery companies, the devil will not be suspicious?" ”

"Then it's up to us to do it." Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said, "If the 3 92 infantry artillery companies disappear for no reason, the devil will definitely be suspicious." ”

"But if, on the premise of being chased by devils,"

"If we suddenly divide our troops, I'm afraid the devils won't be suspicious, right?"

"I see!" The brigade commander's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, we marched along the road, waited for the devil's brigade to catch up, and then pretended that there was no way to get rid of the devil and was forced to divide the troops." ”

"At this time, the devils will think that we are deliberately dividing our forces to try to confuse the public."

Speaking of this, the brigade commander turned his gaze to the radio station in the corner of the war room and said with a smile: "Then, because our radio station can be tracked, it is easy for the devil to distinguish which is a false target and which is a real target. ”

Wang Ye smiled slightly and said: "We have guessed that the devil can accurately locate us through the monitoring radio station, but the devil doesn't know that we already know, so it's impossible not to be fooled!" ”

The brigade commander said: "Xiao Wang, can the devil really achieve positioning by monitoring the radio station?" ”

"yes." The chief of staff also agreed, "If this judgment is wrong, then our entire plan will be at risk of failure." ”

"Don't worry, two chiefs."

Wang Ye said very firmly: "The devil definitely has this ability. ”

"Okay then." The brigade commander said, "Then we will follow what you said, first concentrate on the march, and then find an opportunity to divide the troops when the devils are close, so that the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th companies of the 772nd Regiment and the Artillery Regiment will be separated from the mobile column." ”

After saying this, he said to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, report this idea to the headquarters." ”

"Okay." The chief of staff should call when he walked into the next communication room to send a telegram.

At this time, Cheng Shifa walked in with a bowed head, and saluted with a straight face: "Brigade commander." ”

Cheng Shifa looked a little frustrated, because the 772nd Regiment did not perform well in the battle of Chengjiazhen.

Moreover, the 772nd Regiment was disabled this time, and it will be difficult to keep up with the Independent Regiment, the new 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment in the future.

They are all old comrades-in-arms of the Red Fourth Front Army, Cheng Shifa really doesn't want to lose to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, especially Li Yunlong, this guy's mouth is really too bad.

"You're here?" The brigade commander nodded.

Xuan asked again: "The morale of the troops is okay, right?" ”

"Morale is fine." Cheng Shifa said, "It's a continuous battle, so the brothers are inevitably a little tired." ”

When the brigade commander heard this, he frowned slightly, and Cheng Shifa hurriedly said when he saw this: "But don't worry, brigade commander, no matter how tired our 772 regiment is, it can stand up." ”

"It's good to hold up." The brigade commander said, "Don't drop the chain for me at this time." ”

Although Wang Ye's idea is good, the headquarters has not yet approved it, so the brigade commander does not plan to tell Cheng Shifa for the time being, so as not to affect the morale of the troops.

Temporarily withdraw the 772 regiment from the sequence of mobile columns,

Moreover, because the casualties of the 772nd Regiment were too large, it would definitely have a certain impact on the morale of the troops.

While talking, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also came to the brigade headquarters one after another, saluted first, and then greeted Cheng Shifa and Wang Ye, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's mental state was better than Cheng Shifa's, and they talked and laughed with Wang Ye.

Unlike Cheng Shifa, who didn't want to say much, he only smoked vigorously.

After a while, a hearty laugh sounded outside the door: "Brigade commander? I'm back, haha! ”

Accompanied by Li Yunlong's trademark laughter, Li Yunlong walked in in a hurry, first stood up and saluted the brigade commander, and then saluted Ding Wei and them.

When it was Cheng Shifa's turn, Li Yunlong said: "Old Cheng, this time you are really majestic. ”

"Majestic?" Cheng Shifa rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Majestic fart, such a big advantage has made the little devil fight to a one-to-one battle loss ratio, eh, I have lost all the face of the 386 Brigade." ”

"You can't say that." Li Yunlong said, "This time you are not facing ordinary devils. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong said to Wang Ye again: "Xiao Wang, what did you tell me last time?" What kind of devils were killed by the 772 regiment this time? ”

When Wang Ye heard this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.

The heart says that you can't show off your dog's day?

If I had known that Lao Tzu should not have told you more.

But Cheng Shifa's eyes had already looked over, full of hope.

Wang Ye said helplessly: "Commander Cheng, the one who was killed by your 772nd Regiment outside Chengjia Town this time should be a brigade of the 4th Guards Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army. ”

"Before the expansion of the Guards Division, it had four Guards Infantry Wings."

"Among them, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Guards Infantry Wings are all from the Tokyo area."

"Only the formation of the 4th Guards Infantry Wing is not in Tokyo, but in Kofu."

"Kofu was called Kai in the Warring States Period of Japan, and it was one of the few strong feudal clans in small Japan, and the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen, was even more well-known in Japan, because of this, the folk customs of Kofu were extremely strong."

"That's right." Cheng Shifa said suddenly, "It's no wonder. ”

"No wonder these little devils are not afraid of death, even if their legs are blown off, their stomachs are broken, and their intestines are flowing out, but these little devils are still crazy, one by one knocking grenades and our soldiers died at the same time, many of our soldiers in the 772nd regiment obviously won the battle, but they were pulled by the devils, eh, I have never seen such a fierce devil."

At this time, Li Yunlong began to damage Cheng Shifa again: "However, Cheng is blind, I didn't say you, you are really brainless, why do you have to fight with the devil with a bayonet?" Well? ”

"In the past, we were poor and had no bullets, so we could only play with knives with devils."

"But what kind of life are we living now? That's a lot of money! ”

"In this case, what bayonet are you fighting with the devil? Isn't it over with a machine gun? ”

"Therefore, the 772nd Regiment suffered such heavy casualties, and the key is that you, the regiment commander, are incompetent, and you will not fight."

"Look at our independent regiment, with the strength of one regiment, it carried the more than 4,000 devils who came over from the lady, and only about 100 casualties were killed and wounded in two hours of fighting, and the number of casualties was even in the single digits!"

"It's Lao Tzu, if you are blind, I'm afraid that a regiment will be reimbursed."

"We're really not blowing, the devil that the lady locked up is a heavy howitzer with a 150mm caliber! That shell really shook the earth! ”

Seeing Li Yunlongdi boasting about himself, the brigade commander couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Alright, you're over doggy, aren't you?" The brigade commander didn't have a good air.

Cheng Shifa drooped his head and didn't squeak, but he held his breath in his heart.

Li Yunlong, don't be too arrogant in your dog days, one day Lao Tzu will have to make up for it! Wait for the day when your independent regiment doesn't perform well, see what I say about you!

While he was talking, the roar of an airplane's engine suddenly sounded outside.

Everyone hurriedly went out, and when they looked up at the sky again, they saw a huge Type 96 land attack plane whizzing over the brigade headquarters, but it did not drop aerial bombs.

Because the brigade headquarters is located in an abandoned cave, and some camouflage is also made.

The brigade commander said: "The devil bomber has arrived, hurry up and let the local troops and militia evacuate, take away everything that can be taken away, and destroy everything that can't be taken away, don't leave any useful materials for the devil." ”

"And a few of you should also hurry back and take the troops to the Huting stronghold."

"Correspondent, inform the other 3 companies of the artillery regiment to assemble at the Huting stronghold and stand by."

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Cheng Shifa responded yes and prepared to go back to rectify the troops.

When Wang Ye wanted to leave, he was stopped by the brigade commander: "Xiao Wang, don't go back to the independent regiment, now that the first phase of the war has been fought, you can stay at the brigade headquarters as an operational staff officer in the second stage." ”

"Also, the Wolf Warrior Squadron won't go back to the Independent Regiment for the time being."

"During this time, you should act with the brigade headquarters."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong hurriedly turned back: "Brigade commander, what are you doing?" Another robbery? ”

The brigade commander said angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't rob, Xiao Wang is still a cadre of your independent regiment, and the wolf squadron is still a combat unit of the independent regiment, Lao Tzu is just temporarily requisitioned, this is no problem, right?" ”

After a pause, he said: "What's the matter, Lao Tzu is a brigade commander, can't I borrow someone from you?" ”

"No, it certainly can't." Li Yunlong said flatteringly, "There must be no problem with secondment." ”

After a pause at this, he smiled again: "But brigade commander, we have to talk about it first, it's just a secondment." ”

"Don't worry, it's just a secondment." The brigade commander said angrily, "When this counter-sweep is over, Lao Tzu will let Xiao Wang and the Wolf Warrior Squadron return to the building, this will be okay, right?" ”
