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

Chapter 56 Preparing for the Stage
"Commander, the headquarters has approved our battle plan."

"Zhang Wei, this kid, still has a decent battle plan and reported it to the newspaper. Do you want me to tell you, how can you use a battalion of troops with just over 300 devils?"

"Old Li, this is your shortcoming. Zhang Wei's approach is worth advocating, not to mention that the reconnaissance company was formed by him alone, and the combat preparation of a battalion is also for the sake of insurance. The real ambushes and assaults are still the reconnaissance company. They are the protagonists of this battle."

"Don't talk about this, how did the officer corps arrange it?"

"There will be a guard company for protection. The boss, the division commander, and the graduates of this year's Anti-University will watch the ambush with them."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he smacked his lips and said: "Damn, you really take it seriously. The stage is set up for us. This show can't be a mess. I'll go to Zhang Wei to figure it out!"

After Zhang Wei got the news, he asked Chengcai and Xizi to leave the station with a squad of soldiers, carrying a lot of dry food and supplies.

It is mainly responsible for investigating the movement of devils from Wanhua County. They are now in the Lingyang area, next to Wanhua County and Luochang County. To be honest, Zhang Wei is under a lot of pressure. Boss, they really may not be able to jump out of the encirclement.

The devil had assembled its troops before, and the headquarters still haven't figured out what kind of medicine is sold in the devil's gourd.

"Have you decided?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

"Could it be that the gap between us is so big? You can talk about your opinion, why did you choose the small Huting stronghold."

"Your Excellency, it's not that other information is worthless, but that I'm more interested in Lieutenant Tanaka's information. A squad of regular Eighth Route Army troops came to Lieutenant's area, urging for flour. The lieutenant is determined to maintain local order and eliminate this small group of Eighth Route Army troops." , he handed over the combat operations to the Ninth Brigade for the record."

"This action itself shows that the lieutenant is actually worried that he will fall into the trap set by the main force of the Eighth Route."

"Yes, according to conventional logic, using Tanaka Squadron as a bait to carry out a counter-ambush is too small a move, and I am not interested at all. The problem is that our spies lurking beside Yan Xishan have received news. There are more than a dozen senior officers of the Jinsui Army who are missing. It is said that at the invitation of the Eighth Route Army, they went to Lingyang to engage in exchanges between the two armies. According to the map, Lingyang is only [-] miles away from Huting. At such a short distance , Only the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army can communicate on a peer-to-peer basis.”

"Sao Kar, so Yamamoto-kun, you mean that it was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army who arranged this armed operation?"

Yoshio Shinozuka got up and went to the war room next door. Yamamoto followed behind, pointed to the map and said, "It seems that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is actually set up right under our noses."

"It's not impossible. The deputy commander's command style has always been known for his bravery."

"General, the North China Dispatch Army Field Observation Team has arrived in the city."

Shinozuka Yoshio straightened his clothes, and said: "Yamamoto-kun, I have given you the right to take full responsibility for this military operation. I hope you, Yamamoto, will rewrite the history of our First Army!" "Yes! General! I will do my best!"

On the side of the independent regiment, all the scouts were sent out, and the cavalry company was also preparing for battle urgently, always on guard against the devil's movements.

The original high-intensity training is now almost back to normal.

Yangcun's defenses were almost impenetrable. If they wanted to attack from their side, it would be too long for the old birthday man Yamamoto to hang himself.

In the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Wei, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Chu Yunfei sat together.

After exchanging a few casual greetings, they chatted about their views on the Battle of Xinkou.

Zhao Gang took the lead and said: "I think the Battle of Xinkou was a major failure in the Second War Zone. Although Chief Yan's formation was vigorous, the battle was really not very good. Your army is keen on fighting positional warfare and lacks the initiative. The spirit of the attack, the hundreds of thousands of troops and the Sakahara Division fought for three days, and they turned to the defensive on the whole front. ability. If Commander Yan seizes the opportunity to counterattack across the board, I am afraid that the result will not be what it is now. It is a pity that your army is only passively forming an anxious confrontation with the Japanese army. When Niangziguan, Yangquan and other areas fell one after another, Yan The officer ordered the defenders on all fronts to retreat, "

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong also pointed out: "This Yan Laoxi, oh no, this Chief Yan is really not very good at commanding."

Chu Yunfei: "Brother Yunlong, you are talking about good deeds, but it is not only our Jinsui Army that is defeated. What about the Central Army? Doesn't the Central Army always lose battles?"

Zhao Gang: "The national strength is poor and the equipment is poor. These are all facts, but the biggest problem is the human problem. Think about the defense of Nanjing. The slogan was very majestic. What happened? After only three days of defense, the city was destroyed. This explains the problem, what do we lack? The courage to break the boat! With my invincible momentum, I will make the invaders pay the price in blood!"

Zhang Wei, who was eating peanuts, didn't speak.

Chu Yunfei: "Brothers, I also have different views on the defense of Nanjing. In a word, I am heartbroken! Once tens of thousands of soldiers lose their organizational system, they will become a flock of sheep without a leader. Put down their weapons and let others slaughter them? What are they holding in their hands? It’s not fire sticks, it’s weapons, and the most important thing is soldiers, they must have the spirit, keep their breath alive, and keep fighting! If there is such a spirit, the Japanese will have no way to enslave China!”

Li Yunlong: "Whether it is combat power or equipment, we are obviously at a disadvantage. If we can't beat, we must fight. If we can't beat, we must fight. If we can't beat, we will use our brains!"

"Your brother Chu is from Whampoa, Lao Zhao is a college student from Yan, and Zhang Wei is from the Central Military Academy. Only our old Li is a bumpkin!"

"Oh? Brother Zhao is a student of Yan University?"

"Well, I studied at Yanda University for a few days, so I can't be regarded as a good student. In the North China Incident in the 24th year of the Republic of China, my classmates and I went on strike, took to the streets, and petitioned Chairman Jiang to resist Japan. From then on, I never Didn't go back to school."

"Brother Zhao is a scholar. He devoted himself to serving in the army in the face of national crisis. He is really a role model for us. Admire, admire!"

"Don't dare to be, Commander Chu is too polite. I've heard that Commander Chu is a graduate of Whampoa Phase [-], the chairman's student, Yan's celebrity, and the small temple of the Jinsui Army. I'm afraid it can't hold you. This is a god!"

"Ashamed, ashamed, brother Zhao's export is articles, brother Yunlong, I think your [-]th Army is a bit of a waste of talent, and brother Zhao's literary talent should not be placed as a political commissar in the infantry regiment. I have always believed that fighting is a profession. For military affairs, the way for literati to serve the country freely has been admonishing to the death of literature and fighting to the death of martial arts since ancient times. Sending a scholar to the battlefield is a loss to the country!"

"Brother Yunfei. I don't like to hear these words. Lao Zhao is not a poor scholar. He showed me his hand for the first time on the battlefield. He killed three devils with three shots at a distance of 150 meters. Nothing to say, that's all. , none of our group is dissatisfied."

"This really impresses me, Brother Zhao, if I have the chance, I really want to appreciate your marksmanship."
