Bright Sword: Hosting the independent regiment, all become special forces

Chapter 288 What kind of army is this

Although the soldiers were very tired, they didn't stay where they were, and chose to return to the station.

After the short-term offensive achieved results in the base area, it did not continue to expand the war situation.

As a result, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army who watched the show were very dissatisfied, and the devils also breathed a sigh of relief. If the fight continues like this, I don't know what it will look like.

In just one week of combat operations, the devils lost more than 3000 people. This is not a field battle encountering a special column, but a real defensive operation.

The fighting power of the Eighth Route Army has far exceeded his estimation.

Back at the station, Zhang Wei looked at the harvest dissatisfied: "Damn, these devils are really poor."

"Anyway, if you win a battle, you will have to eat extra food. You can decide for yourself what you captured!"

Zhang Wei chatted with everyone for a while, then went back to his room.

A few days have passed since the ordinary days, and even the troops have just adapted to the training rhythm.

A telegram was sent to Zhang Wei.

The contents of the telegram were very detailed, ordering them to leave for the Niangziguan area within a week to prepare for the next defense.

After Zhang Wei received the telegram, he did not order the troops to set off first.

Instead, he went to the arsenal immediately. You must know that the arsenal has been in production for a month now, and there should be a lot of supplies.

When Zhang Wanhe saw Zhang Wei arriving with a large team, he immediately ordered his subordinate Xie Mingyu to pull out all the stock in the warehouse.

"I didn't expect that, Lao Zhang, you are giving face so much!"

Zhang Wanhe sighed: "There is no way, the special column has the strongest combat effectiveness, and we must give priority to supplementing it with you, but this time the number is not particularly large, so we will give priority to shelling."

"There are about 105 rounds of 100MM shells, and about 75 rounds of 700MM shells. The number is not large, but comrades have been working for many days, and they hardly sleep a lot."

"Ammunition is almost [-] rounds, iron fist [-], victory style [-], steel core bullets only [-] rounds, nothing else, no time, no manpower!"

"Thank you very much, we will definitely win the battle, so that we can be worthy of the hard work of our comrades day and night!"

Zhang Wanhe patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder: "I know, the situation is urgent, and I won't keep you anymore. When you finish the battle this time, you must find a chance to have a drink or two!"

"it is good!"

After Zhang Wei got the things, the troops started to rush to the Xiaowangzhuang area, and only after going around the Xiaowangzhuang area did they head east into the Niangziguan area.

On the other side, Xiaowangzhuang headquarters.

Kong Jie, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Chief Cheng and Li Yunlong all gathered behind a boulder, and there was a hand-painted map sent by scouts on the ground.

The content on the map is drawn in great detail, even where there are bunkers are clearly drawn.

At this moment, everyone frowned, the terrain of Niangziguan was really more difficult than they imagined.

Ding Wei took a deep breath, turned to look at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, how do you look, what good ideas do you have?"

Li Yunlong curled his lips and put out the cigarette butt in his hand: "It's not easy to fight. If we want to attack, we can only attack from the front."

"The terrain outside this closed gate is narrow. There are cliffs on both sides of the road and high mountains. It is really easy to defend and difficult to attack! If we charge hard, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. It's not easy, it's not good."

"That..." Kong Jie just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"Old Kong, I know what you want to say, but this time there is no possibility of a roundabout surprise attack, only a frontal attack."

"As long as the east gate is captured, and the final death is right here, our reinforcements will not be able to pass through here!"

"If possible, we can also capture Guancheng and support Taiyuan separately!"

"But if I bypass Niangziguan directly, no, the small unit is okay, but this method of attacking at least two regiments is not feasible."

Ding Wei went on to say: "The terrain is limited here, and it is difficult to deploy troops. If I am in command, I can only use artillery bombardment and aircraft bombing."

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about it after Zhang Wei arrives. I suggest that the task of guarding Niangziguan be assigned to Zhang Wei. He has two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment to guard the Niangziguan area."

"I am planning to transfer the cavalry regiment to use as a mobile force. The special second regiment of the special column has also entered the southern foot of Taihang Mountain!"

"What? They have entered the southern foot of Taihang Mountain. Who will protect the chief?"

"I still need your protection?"

Before Ding Wei finished speaking, he suddenly heard the chief's voice, and turned around in surprise!
Mother!The chief and the others have already arrived at the Xiaowangzhuang area. No wonder they haven't seen the brigade commander during meetings these days.

It turned out to be to pick up the chief and the others.

"Chief, you are here, are the heads of the headquarters here?"

"That's right, this time, it's a battle. This time, at least four divisions have gathered in this small Shanxi area."

"We are discussing who to assign the defense work in the Niangziguan area to! The result of our discussion is to assign it to Zhang Wei!"

The chief nodded after listening: "That's right, if you give it to him, you can really hold it, but the pressure from other directions is not small!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong smiled and explained: "Don't worry, Chief, our Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is strong and strong, not to mention the four divisions of devils, even if there are eight, I guarantee that they will be ashamed!"

"You kid, you've been bragged! You can't defend the Niangziguan area for too long, at most three days! After three days, you must retreat!"

"The artillery unit has to evacuate one day in advance. The task of the special column is heavy this time, and the casualties will never be small!"

"After Zhang Wei arrives, this matter must be clarified, because judging from the latest information, the attack on the Niangziguan area may not be the two devil's regiments, but a whole division!"

"Yes! Don't worry!"

It is impossible for Neiji Okamura to not know the importance of Niangziguan, so he is going to send heavy troops to defend the Niangziguan area.

I thought that not only the 33rd Division was going to be the main force, but also the troops of the 43rd Wing Captain Pyongyang Kota.

As the infantry unit of the [-]th Division, Pingping Xiaotai suffered heavy casualties in the last battle, but he also stayed around the Jinchaji base area.

It will also participate in this battle.

It also means that at least 2 devils will attack the Niangziguan area. Although Zhang Wei has an elite special column, his strength is still much worse.

In just two days, Zhang Wei and others marched to the Xiaowangzhuang area.

Zhang Wei came to the headquarters to say hello. Although he was a little surprised when he saw the chief and others, it was as expected.

"Hi chiefs!"

"Hey, General Zhang, long time no see!"

Zhang Wei smiled awkwardly: "Staff Factory, don't make fun of me! What kind of general am I!"

"Haha! You can't be called a general, so who can be called a general! Everyone calls you a parachutist, and I wrote a poem for you, XXXXX.XXXXXXXXX.XXXXXXX.XXXXXXX "

Zhang Wei smiled shyly when he heard this: "Haha, thank you sir for me. Time is tight and the task is heavy. I will say hello to my old comrades and set off immediately!",

"Why are you in such a hurry, the devils will have to wait at least half a month before attacking, so get together, this time, to be honest, the battle is hard to fight, you must be careful!"

Zhang Wei nodded solemnly, in that case, I will definitely pay attention!
Gathered with the old comrades, he left the Xiaowangzhuang area, followed the troops, and continued to march towards the Niangziguan area.

Then set off to take over the defense of the Niangziguan area.

Two days later, on a certain main road ten kilometers outside Niangziguan, a whole devil's reconnaissance team quickly marched towards the Niangziguan area.

Five kilometers away, there are a large number of devil trucks and even some tanks.

On the interrupted command truck, Wutou Hairen, head of the 33rd Division, was worried about attacking the Niangziguan area.

To be honest, he didn't have much confidence, thinking that everyone knew the danger of this place, the lady's gate.

Therefore, both sides will invest a large number of troops to fight for Xinkou and Niangziguan. The Eighth Route Army will invest a large number of troops in defense of these two areas.

If the Japanese army wants to win, it must pay a very heavy price.

On the other side, Zhang Wei sits firmly in the command post, which is only five kilometers away from the front line. Similarly, there is a backup command post 25 kilometers behind.

This is also to be able to better command the troops to fight. The erection of the artillery position is also very particular. It can be said that it is completely included in the protection range of the air defense force, and it can well avoid the counterattack of the enemy artillery force.

Xing Zhiguo stepped forward quickly: "Regimental Commander, the latest information, the No. 40 First Division has begun to move towards Xinkou, and it seems that it has given up on the Guangling and Yangyuan areas. Also began to attack the northern Shanxi area1”

Zhang Wei nodded and didn't take it seriously: "It seems that the devils are about to launch an attack. Haven't Yan Shuangying and the others got the latest information?"

Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here, Yan Shuangying walked in quickly: "Commander, according to our comrades' report, this time the attack should be the 33rd Division of the Wutouhairen, and we got information on the Wutouhairen !"

"Five-headed sea people, rank: major general, graduated from the Imperial Army University of Japan, character: decisive, suspicious, and irritable, record."

Zhang Wei nodded: "The 33rd Division, what about their affiliation?"

"Three infantry regiments, one supply regiment, no field artillery units, no heavy artillery, accompanied by the 43rd infantry regiment, carrying some heavy weapons, but nothing to worry about!"

Before the few people continued talking, a few gunshots suddenly came from a distance: "Bang! Boom!"

"Go! Send someone to see what's going on!"

Two kilometers away from Niangziguan, the observation post of the reconnaissance company directly collided with the devil's sharp soldiers, and the two sides launched a fierce seizure in an instant.

The devil's reconnaissance unit didn't want to let go of the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, and stepped on an early warning mine when they were chasing them.

Ever since, the Spike Special Forces Brigade, which was performing a reconnaissance mission, quickly went up to meet it.

Zhang Wei waited patiently in the command post. Within half an hour, Xiao Huzi came back and reported: "Regimental Commander! The Special Operations Brigade and the devil's reconnaissance troops exchanged fire, and they caught a tongue. At least one brigade Force 1"

Zhang Wei smiled and nodded: "It seems that the main party is here, order the troops to prepare for battle, and the artillery and air defense must be done well!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Duan Peng quickly came to the headquarters to report: "Commander, a small group of infiltrated enemy troops were found on the flank, should I lead the team to annihilate them?"

Zhang Wei nodded: "Notify Chengcai, let them beware of the small troops over there, you go and clean it first. Fight back, don't plant large explosives to change the terrain!"

"Yes! Got it!"

Duan Peng nodded, and quickly led the soldiers of the reconnaissance company to the flanking mountain road.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it is confirmed that there are quite a few defenders in the Niangziguan area. Our reconnaissance troops have been repelled and suffered heavy casualties. According to preliminary judgments, the defenders should be the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army. The exact number is unclear!"

On the Niangzi Pass, Long Wenwen put down the binoculars: "It seems that the vanguard of the devils has arrived. It is only about three kilometers away. It is estimated that an attack is about to be launched!"

Bao Chuan snorted coldly: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, such devils."

"Notify the artillery regiment and say hello to them! But don't bomb too hard, I'm worried that these devils won't attack after being bombed!"

"No, let Shi Fujian come over and have a look. The devils are gathered three kilometers away. Don't you know we have artillery?"

"If that's the case, we can catch them off guard and wait until they're gathering some troops and we're shelling!"

After hearing the request of the two, Shi Fujian climbed onto the wall cursingly: "Damn, you are not in charge of the family, and you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and you will be covered by firepower at every turn!"

Lifting up the binoculars to observe, Shi Fujian said in surprise: "What is the devil doing? It's swaggering, as if we don't have artillery? Are these piled up supplies?"

"The devils have already started to attack. The size is only one squadron. It seems to be a tentative attack. Our outer defensive positions can stop it!"

"Hehe! Look at what's going on!"

Wang Huaibao was in charge of the first-line defensive position. When he saw the devil, he immediately smiled: "The light machine gun fires, and the heavy machine gun does not reveal its position. Pay attention to the artillery!"

The more than 20 light machine guns of the first battalion were all aimed at the attacking Japanese troops below, and they all pulled the triggers!

"Da da da!"

With the sound of dense guns and guns, the bullets rained down on the attacking devil's body, but in less than a minute, more than 1 bullets were fired.

Such a density of firepower surprised the five-headed sea people who were observing.

"My mother, this? What kind of army is this? Such a firepower density is unheard of. There are dozens of light machine guns on the defense line less than 500 meters away. Baga! Fire!"

"Order artillery, fire quickly!"
