Sword of Death Camp

Chapter 149 Commands
In fact, the large-scale operation of the Japanese army to transform from a brigade to a division began around 1942.

This is historical.

Including the current 58th Division of the Japanese Army, it was only in 1942 that other brigades began to expand.

In February 1942, Shimono Kazuo served as the first division commander of the 2th Division of the Japanese Army after its reconstruction.

Including other divisions are the same, they are all expanded by brigades after 42 years, plus 1~2 infantry regiments or other regiments to expand into a division, a division is generally in charge of 3 ~4 regiments of infantry, plus artillery, cavalry, sappers, and other units such as baggage corps.

However, most of the expansion at that time was expanded from the brigade to the division level. The purpose of abandoning the brigade level was to go south to Southeast Asia.

But now this is the world of bright swords. If there is no Chen Shanhe in this world, but according to the original plot, this area is the territory where the Japanese army mixed the 4th brigade and the 9th brigade and the 29th brigade.

But now.

Because of the existence of Chen Shanhe's independent second regiment, the brigade commander who was mixed into the fourth brigade was withdrawn and replaced with another post. Then the fourth brigade was added with an engineering unit to become a division. .

And this Japanese army division, which specially added an engineering unit, was to deal with Chen Shanhe. A mere regiment could actually fight against the existence of a brigade.

really.

As soon as the engineers took action, they immediately dug up several modified landmines that could not be detected by mine detectors.

And after the engineers carefully removed the detonating device of the landmine, and then moved out the large and heavy urn-shaped landmine.

The engineering regiment leader of the 58th Division of the Japanese Army couldn't help sighing when he saw this pottery urn with a charge of almost a hundred catties.

"Ingenuity mine.

Use a thickened urn.As the shell of the mine, more than 80 catties of black powder were filled inside, and 40 catties of gravel were used as a supplement to the splash damage at the mouth of the urn.

It is an ingenious design. No wonder our army suffered heavy casualties when encountering this kind of landmine.

Even if you are not shocked to death by the explosive power of the 80-plus-jin gunpowder, you will be killed by the rubble excited by the explosion.

No wonder... Our mine detectors can't detect the mines. It turns out that there is no metal on the mines, so there is no metal reaction at all! "

The chief of staff of the engineering wing said proudly: "Although the enemy's ingenious landmine detectors are used, they are really invisible.

However, the mine detection stick that we rushed out is still very useful. If the mine detector cannot detect it, use the mine detection stick to detect it.

If the mine detector and the mine detection stick are used and there are still omissions, it will be a thousand or even a one in ten thousand chance!
This is the value of engineers! "

The landmine detection stick is a long pole with an iron stick in front of it, which allows the little devil to poke the landmines in the ground, just like someone using this kind of stick to poke bastards in the water decades later.

There is no high-tech, just a long stick with a sharp iron stick in front of it, which can be inserted into the ground to find out if there are large obstacles.

But this seemingly simple and crude thing can actually solve the current dilemma of the Japanese army attacking the base area of ​​the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

No one likes to walk on a field full of mines, whether it is a hillside, a cliff, or a field on both sides of the road.

As for the road, it goes without saying.

As long as the Japanese army was going to pass by, they all encountered landmines.

Therefore, after a series of encounters, the Japanese army could only keep clearing mines along the road honestly.

This is called playing steadily. Compared with fields, slopes and rivers, the road is the best environment for demining.

"Captain, our landmines have all been dug up by the little devils, what should we do?"

Chen Shanhe sent people to lay minefields in any direction the devils were advancing, and the hard-working formation was broken by such a Japanese engineering unit as it fought steadily.

Looking at the large landmines that had been dug up by the Japanese army, Chen Shanhe murmured: "It's a pity that I have several large landmines, each of which is about a hundred catties of gunpowder!

Just being dug out like this is a bit of a waste! "

In fact, the first method of mine warfare is long-term, long-term on the border, or a permanent minefield is arranged in a certain place.

There is another method, which is to have a complete intelligence system. When the Japanese army arrives, start laying minefields within the range that the Japanese army must pass through.

The first method saves time and effort, but it is not very friendly to the common people, and it is easy to accidentally hurt the common people.

The second method is what Chen Shanhe is doing now. Using a complete intelligence system, he can clearly know the movement of the Japanese army, and lay down minefields in the direction the Japanese army is advancing. After the Japanese army retreats or passes by, they can find a way to release mines or What can be done to eliminate the risk of ordinary people being hit by mines.

Therefore, behind Chen Shanhe, Wang Jiudao, Chen Kai and Ye Liumu, there are more than 200 people in the mine-laying engineering brigade directly under the regiment. These 200 people are the most skilled people in the whole regiment, the fastest, safest and most powerful people in mine-laying.

Appearing in front of Chen Shanhe now is Zhang Fulin, the captain of the mine-laying engineering brigade, the captain of the whole regiment's mine-laying contest.

"Zhang Fulin, the landmines we planted have already been dug up by the devil's engineering unit.

Now, I ask you to use all the mine-laying methods you can think of, and compete with the Japanese engineers! "

Zhang Fulin responded: "Yes, let's set off to compete with the devils in technical means!"

Zhang Fulin belongs to the kind of person who doesn't talk too much. Now everyone in the mine-laying engineering brigade has all mine-laying methods. In addition to Chen Shanhe's mother-in-law mines, real and fake mines, rolling stone mines, and even the concept of bullet mines, they have also developed their own ideas. There are a lot of weird mine-laying methods.

Under the transformation of the data panel that has been upgraded to the rank of second lieutenant by the system, Chen Shanhe's physical fitness, strength, and senses are already extraordinary. He dare not be arrogant to say that he can crack all the mines laid by the engineering brigade.

So Chen Shanhe didn't think there would be any difficulties in the confrontation between the mine-laying engineering brigade directly under the regiment and the Japanese engineering corps?
After all, one is the party who made the question, and the other is the party who broke the question.

One is to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and the other is to be a thief for a thousand days.

The initiative is always on the person who makes the move.

"Contact the political commissar and ask if the people in the nearby villages have been resettled and moved.

This time the Japanese army has only one division, which is not the same as last time when there was only one brigade.

Moreover, the fourth brigade did not require the air force to accompany it last time. Now the 58th division of the Japanese army has already flown three reconnaissance planes.

So the following is no longer the small fight like last time, it may be a life-and-death fight that appears in the picture.

The people in the village must all move to the rear, and then we can use and expand those tunnels.

Be prepared to spend a long time with the 58th Division of the Japanese Army! "

"Yes, let's go and notify!"

Chen Kai, watching the Japanese engineers carefully clear the mines through the binoculars, felt a little itchy in his heart.

"Captain, how can you watch them clear mines like this?

How about letting the artillery battalion bombard him? "

Chen Shanhe glanced at him: "Chen Kai, you don't look like a scholar at all, hold on tight, there's someone to fight, but not now!

Think about it, how many people can we hit when we bombard the Japanese army now?
Look at the Japanese army, 10 meters per person, 10 meters per person, they are all lined up out of sight.

Even if a landmine with a charge of 100 catties explodes, it can kill at most two Japanese soldiers!

Do you know that this business is a dead end?
Li Yunlong, the former head of the new regiment, is now being taken to the headquarters to feed the horses. I think he has a very reasonable sentence.

You can't fight a war to get poorer and poorer, and you can't smash your belongings in without hearing the sound.

As long as the guns sound, something must be brought back!
But you have the most shots with one shot. If you are accurate, you can kill a little devil with one shot!

Can a little devil's life be exchanged for a cannonball?How much is the shell, how much is the little devil?

Fortunately, you are still a scholar, can you settle accounts?
That's not how wars are fought! "

Chen Kai was told by Chen Shanhe that it made sense. Looking at the positions of the Japanese soldiers and the gap between them, a single shot could kill one or two Japanese soldiers at most.

So if you do the calculations like this, one shell is exchanged for two little devils, and sometimes you can't hit them, isn't that a loss?
There is really no reason to do a loss-making business.

After all, the Second Independent Regiment can produce and sell their own products so far, and there is nothing else except landmines.

"But the Japanese army came in so swaggeringly, we can't just lay mines and let them clear them, right?
There is always a time when the mines run out, and there is always a time when the depth is flattened.

Lost in depth, even if we have the authenticity, it is impossible to confront a division of the Japanese army face to face! "

Wang Jiudao told him with a smile: "Chen Battalion Commander, your cannon battalion and brother Liumu's hunting team will be the time for you to play your best in the future.

Who is our leader!

Chen Shanhe, Chen Shanhe who never suffers in war!
The Japanese army directly used a division to prepare to overwhelm others. Have you ever seen the Japanese army use such a posture to deal with any unit of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army?

They usually play more with less!
No one can see it.

But today, a division was used against one of our regiments.

It is enough to see how much the head of the regiment attaches importance to the Japanese army, so the head of the regiment should have already made arrangements! "

Chen Shanhe smiled: "You are really a roundworm in my stomach!
Chen Kai, don't worry, everyone in the artillery battalion has worked so hard, I can see it.

Therefore, you have to fight the battle, and in the next battle, the artillery battalion will play a very important role!
So you and the people in the artillery battalion must be prepared and ready to fight at any time.

Ye Liumu, don't worry, your hunting team also has a share.

Although your talents are not suitable for leading troops with more than one company, because you don't have the ability to coordinate and command.

But your fighting power is very strong, and your marksmanship is very accurate, so the next thing is to use the marksmanship of you and all members of the hunting team, and then don't make me loose.

If you don't do well, I will remove you as the captain!
If my plan goes wrong, I will shoot you!
Understand? "

Chen Kai and Ye Liumu immediately stood at attention: "Yes, leader!"

……

358 regiments.

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong quickly entered the command room of the regiment headquarters, and went straight to Chu Yunfei who was looking at the map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back:

"Regiment seat, the 58th Division, which was reorganized after adding an infantry regiment to the [-]th Brigade of the Japanese Army, fought with the [-]nd Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Oh, this Second Independent Regiment is Chen Shanhe's unit, the Death Battalion that has been officially incorporated into the Eighth Route Army. Its current designation is the Second Independent Regiment of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division, with regiment leader Chen Shanhe and political commissar Zhao Gang. "

"hiss……"

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath: "What kind of madness is this devil? He actually used a division to attack the territory of a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army with great fanfare?

How many people are there in Chen Shanhe's regiment now? "

Fang Ligong was a little embarrassed: "Tuan Zuo, you also know that the Eighth Route Army still has some methods of keeping secrets.

At present, based on some sporadic information we have obtained, as well as what we have seen in previous contact, we have summed up a little speculation.

Now Chen Shanhe's regiment has about 1000 people. "

Chu Yunfei frowned: "1000 people? Impossible!
Chen Shanhe had only 36 people at the beginning, but he later recruited nearly 200 ex-National Army stragglers who had just surrendered and became security regiments.

Later, he took over the territory of a town, and after Xinyituan withdrew from Daliu Town, he gave him the territory of another town.

His current territory consists of two towns and more than 60 villages. Even if an average village has 300 people, he now has 20,000 people under his rule.

How could there be only 1000 people in hand!
With the means of the Eighth Route Army, the so-called permanent bases usually have 10 people to support a soldier.

Therefore, Chen Shanhe has at least 1500 people in his hands.

I just don't know if these 1500 people are fully equipped with weapons and ammunition! "

But Fang Ligong, the chief of staff, didn't think so. Even if the Eighth Route Army had all the weapons and equipment and enough ammunition, the opponent was a division of the Japanese army!

Even the 58th Division of the Japanese Army, which was reorganized from the Fourth Brigade plus an infantry regiment, had at least 15000 people.

Chen Shanhe's Second Independent Regiment, even with 2000 members, is no match for the 15000 well-trained little devils.

Therefore, Chen Shanhe's independent second regiment can already be regarded as a disaster.

What he thought, of course Chu Yunfei also thought of it. The reason why he was concerned about whether Chen Shanhe's Second Independent Regiment had all the weapons was that he didn't expect Chen Shanhe to be able to defeat a division of the Japanese army.

Even some time ago, Chen Shanhe used landmines to drive away the Japanese 4th Brigade, which caused the 4th Brigade to be cancelled.

But this does not mean that Chen Shanhe can withstand the attack of a brigade or division of the Japanese army regardless of cost or casualties.

What's more, the Japanese army still has planes and tanks.

He was concerned about whether Chen Shanhe's regiment had all the weapons, because he knew that Chen Shanhe would definitely fight the devils, after all, the more weapons he had, the more damage he would do to the devils.

Although Chu Yunfei wanted to give some artillery support to Chen Shanhe's troops of the Second Independent Regiment, he also understood that this artillery support was just a drop in the bucket.

What's more, the Minister's Ministry has already made clear orders, and repeated orders, if you want to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in combat, you must have a written order from the Chief Minister's Department of the World War II area, otherwise one soldier cannot be transferred.

I can only sigh in my heart.

The news that the Second Independent Regiment suffered an all-out attack by the Japanese 58th Division has already been reported.

Headquarters.

We are in an emergency meeting, and the opponent is a division of the Japanese army. Even if the headquarters can command all the troops to rescue the Second Independent Regiment, it is even impossible to withstand the attack of a division of the Japanese army.

Therefore, the meeting at the headquarters is now discussing not the rescue, but the retreat of the Second Independent Regiment.

In the end, the boss slapped the table and made a decision: "Go, order the Second Independent Regiment to withdraw from the battle as soon as possible and break through quickly.

Order the new regiment Ding Wei, the independent regiment Kong Jie, the [-]st regiment, and the [-]nd regiment to cover! "

Because the headquarters received information, the Japanese army increased their troops in Wuxiang County and Yushe County.

This is a big encirclement.
