Chapter 220(2/2)
"It's nothing to run away a few Japanese cavalry."
After Li Yunlong said that, he asked Zhao Gang again, "Old Zhao, what time is it now?"
Zhao Gang raised his wrist and looked at the Roman watch, and said, "It's still five minutes away from midnight."
"Five minutes after zero spread?" Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Haha, it only took another twenty minutes!"
"Yes, it's really unbelievable." Zhao Gang also sighed, "In just twenty minutes, our independent group ate a fast mobile team of the Japanese!"
"This is a fast mobile team!"
"In addition to dozens of trucks, cannons, and even tanks!"
"But it took us only twenty minutes to completely wipe out!"
"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Lao Li, I'm not dreaming, right?"
Zhao Gang really felt unbelievable because the battle was so easy that he couldn't believe it.
Li Yunlong laughed and said, "My major political commissar, this is not a dream, it is true. Our independent group really took only twenty minutes to kill a fast mobile team of the Japanese! "
Zhao Gang said: "Then I don't understand, why did the Japanese suddenly become indifferent?"
Shen Quan wiped the smoke from his face and said, "Yes, isn't the Japanese Guard Division known as elite? But why do I feel that it is far worse than Yamazaki's brigade?"
Li Yunlong said: "It's not that the Guards Division is worse than Yamazaki's brigade, but that our independent regiment has become stronger."
After saying this, he continued, "You don't think about it. When we fought with Yamazaki Team at Lijiapo, what was going on? What's going on now? Can you compare it?"
"That's true." Zhao Gang sighed, "Now our firepower is really much stronger."
Li Yunlong said: "In terms of infantry light firepower alone, our independent regiment is no longer inferior to the Japanese. However, the reason why this battle was so easy was mainly because the Japanese did not expect that it was the concentrated use of firepower that Xiao Wang said. Otherwise, if you want to kill the Japanese in such a easy way? Dream about it!"
Chen Quan said: "It is really amazing to use firepower in a concentrated manner."
"Of course, isn't it powerful to fire so many light and heavy machine guns together?"
Li Yunlong said: "But not everyone can fight this kind of wealthy battle. Only our independent regiment and our mobile column can afford such battles. If you change to other brothers, go to dream."
Chen Quan said again: "Captain, what will our team do next?"
"There will be nothing to do with our group next." Li Yunlong said, "You can't be too greedy and you can't let all the good things be occupied by our independent group. You have to give the 772nd Group, the 1st Group and the 2nd Group, right?"
After saying this, Li Yunlong said again: "Tell me the order, and the whole group will withdraw to Wangjia Village and rest and standby."
"Retreat now?" Chen Quan said stunned, "Captain, the battlefield has not been cleaned yet."
Li Yunlong said: "We no longer have the responsibility of cleaning the battlefield, and local troops are responsible."
"No, commander." Chen Quan said anxiously, "You can do other equipment, but there are 6 doors there, 75mm caliber cannon."
Chen Quan sucked in dust and started coughing as he said.
Li Yunlong didn't hear it clearly and said disdainfully: "That's not our responsibility."
"I said, the second battalion commander, the current rules are different from before."
"According to Xiao Wang's words, you must go with the times and abandon the consciousness of the common people."
Li Yunlong has had a lot of contact with Wang Ye, and he has also talked about these theories one by one.
Chen Quan was really frightened by Li Yunlong, but Zhao Gang said laughing and crying: "It's keeping pace with the times, the meaning of a small farmer."
"I'm sorry, it's just the same thing anyway." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "I can't just focus on the front, I must have a long-term vision."
Zhao Gang said happily: "Old Li, you have really grown up."
"Of course, who are we, Old Li?" Li Yunlong smiled and suddenly asked Chen Quan again, "By the way, Chen Quan, what did you say just now?"
Chen Quan hurriedly said: "6 75mm caliber cannons!"
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and said, "Take it away, hurry up and hide it, don't let the brigade commander see it."
Zhao Gang's face collapsed. As expected, when I didn't say anything just now, Li Yunlong was still the familiar Li Yunlong, but what's the use of hiding these 6 cannons?
Can you still hide from the brigade commander's eyes?
...
In Taiyuan, the 1st Army Headquarters.
Although Tadashi Maeda was not in Yangquan, the operation of the 2nd Division of the Kok Guards was not affected at all.
Telegrams were sent from the 3rd Rapid Rescue and Strike Detachment, and the Niangziguan Station in Shouyang County to report the latest progress to the 1st Army Command of Taiyuan.
Takaichi Sakamoto immediately brought the combat staff to report on the sand table.
But I saw that the second core detachment stationed in Yangquan County had already attacked and advanced towards the Zhaojiayuan stronghold, and the final detachment stationed in Niangzi Pass had also completed the assembly.
According to the two old devils, Yoshio Shinozuka and Tadashi Maeda,
The 3rd Quick Rescue and Strike Detachment, even if it is besieged by the main forces of the Eighth Route Army of five regiments, will be absolutely fine if it lasts for two to three hours. At this time, the 2nd core detachment will arrive.
After the second core detachment arrived, it would further respond to the size of the Eighth Route Army troops in the direction of Zhao Jiayuan.
If the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan only has one or two regiments, then the 3rd Quick Rescue Strike Detachment and the 2nd Core Detachment will be enough to eliminate it.
If the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan has as many as three to five regiments, then the two detachments that arrived in advance only need to entangle the Eighth Route Army. After the final detachment stationed in Niangzi Pass arrives, the Eighth Route Army will be encircled and annihilated.
If the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan has more than five regiments, or even more than ten regiments, then the other two core detachments will also rush to the direction of Zhaojiayuan, concentrate three core detachments and one final detachment, with more than 10,000 troops, and have superior artillery and armored soldiers, which is enough to smash the main force of the Eighth Route Army's Taihang Bandit Area.
Maeda Tada asked: "Shinozuka, how large do you think the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan will be?"
Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a moment and said, "I think there are at least four regiments and more than one brigade."
"A brigade?" Maeda Tadashi said with a look of expression, "Shinozuka, are you talking about the 386th Brigade, which once caused the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade to suffer a great loss?"
"Yes, I think it must be Brigade 386."
Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Maraida, you have just arrived in Shanxi and are not very familiar with the situation of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is a typical amateur army."
Maeda Tada asked: "How about an amateur method?"
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "The Eighth Route Army has no formal number system, no unified logistics support system, and even no unified military uniforms and weapons."
"Their supplies have to be raised by each unit."
"Their weapons and equipment must be seized by each unit themselves and from the Imperial Army, but more of them are captured from the Imperial Army and the bandit armed forces."
"So, the logistics support and equipment levels between the various departments of the Eighth Route Army are extremely different."
"And the 386th Brigade I just mentioned has continuously wiped out the Imperial Army's Black Island Wing, Yamazaki Brigade, Yamamoto Agents and Battlefield Observation Corps, and also severely damaged the 4th Brigade and the 9th Brigade. Therefore, in terms of equipment level and logistics support, it is far better than other brigades in the Taihang Bandit Area."
"According to reliable intelligence, the 386th Brigade has four regiments under its jurisdiction."
"There is reason to believe that the 386th Brigade attacked the Zhaojiayuan stronghold."
"The commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, with the strong fighting power of the 386th Brigade, must have wanted to tear a gap from the Zhengtai Road defense line with the strong combat power of the 386th Brigade, and cover its headquarters and other troops to break through the south."
Yoshio Shinozuka's judgment was still very accurate, and he predicted more than half of Wang Ye's intentions.
"So that's how it is." Maeda Tada nodded and then said, "But, our 2nd Guard Division will never let the Eighth Route Army get what it wants. If they want to break through the defense line of the Zhengtai Road, they are probably delusional."
Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "With the 386th Brigade's troops and equipment, even the 3rd Quick Rescue Strike Detachment and the 2nd Core Detachment, there are only 3,500 people, and they do not have the advantage in terms of troops or equipment. Therefore, I think the final detachment of Niangziguan does not have to wait any longer, and attack the Zhaojiayuan stronghold immediately."
"Okay." Maeda Tadao was about to instruct his adjutant,
