Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 286 Devils break through, the new independent regiment pursues across the board

"Brothers! Kill me!" Wang Chengzhu yelled fiercely as he beheaded two devil officers in a row, raising his bayonet.

Some blood stains on his body made him look a bit more murderous, like a killing god who just walked out of the Nine Nether Hell.

Driven and encouraged by Battalion Commander Wang Chengzhu, the soldiers of the independent battalion around them also boosted their morale, and broke out unprecedented high-spirited battles one after another.

……

the other side.

Ichiro Tada ran to the front in a hurry, found Masao Nishiyama, the head of the brigade, and immediately reported to him: "Your Excellency, head of the brigade, something is wrong! The firepower of the China Tuba Road is too fierce. The imperial army on the back line may insist It won't be long."

"In order to be safe, you should transfer in immediately!"

"Baga! What did you say?"

Hearing this, Masao Nishiyama was about to lose his temper and turned his head, only to find that the main force of the independent battalion had already reached the blocking position behind.

Although the Yoshida Squadron and Miyamoto Squadron were trying their best to resist, the effect was very weak.

However, under the rapid offensive of the independent battalion, the devil soldiers under him fell one after another.

If this situation continues to be discovered, it won't be long before the defense line will completely fall.

At this time, Masao Nishiyama had no extra troops to dispatch. If troops were deployed from the front, the front would also be attacked by air, and then he lost sight of the other, and was wiped out here by the Eighth Route Army.

Masao Nishiyama is not afraid of death. In fact, as a fanatical militarist, he is not afraid of death.

But Nishiyama Masao is not only a fanatical militarist, but also a major general brigade commander. What he needs to consider is the interests of the entire 4th Brigade, the entire First Army, and even the entire Japan.

Right now, even if he desperately resisted, it would be meaningless. It would only kill more people in vain, further weakening the strength of the First Army and the First Army's control over the northwestern Shanxi region.

Therefore, after much thought, Masao Nishiyama decided to adopt the suggestion of Chief of Staff Ichiro Tada and issued an order to move in.

"After the Yoshino brigade stayed behind, the rest of the brigades immediately took turns to cover each other and turned towards the northern mountain col where the Eighth Route Army's defense was weak!"

Tada Ichiro asked again: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, what about the artillery of the artillery brigade?"

Although the Type [-] infantry artillery is not too heavy and can be disassembled, if it is taken away, it will greatly reduce the speed of the troops' breakout, which in turn will cause the entire army to fall into crisis.

However, even if these artillery pieces cannot be taken away, they must not be left to the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi would often attack their strongholds without artillery, making them hard to defend. If they had artillery, would they not be able to attack major counties?
Thinking of this, Nishiyama Masao shouted with pain on his face: "Take away the mortars that can be taken away. If you can't take them away, destroy them on the spot. You must not leave them to these hateful bastards!"

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, is right!" Tada Ichiro nodded heavily, and then relayed the order to the messenger on the side, and he, together with Masao Nishiyama, led the remnant main force to break through to the north col.

……

The temporary headquarters of the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Although Li Yunlong did not come to the front line to command in person, he has been closely watching the battle situation on the front line. When he saw that the devil's offensive has weakened a lot, he couldn't help but look surprised: "What's the situation, why did the little devil's offensive suddenly become weaker?" A lot?"

Zhao Gang said: "That's good, they don't rush to break through, and when the 772nd and 771st regiments arrive, they don't want to run away."

Li Yunlong didn't want to mention the 772nd and 771st regiments. He was eager to wipe out the Devil's 4th Brigade as soon as possible, so that the spoils would not have to be distributed to Cheng Xiazi and the others.

Therefore, when he heard Zhao Gang's words, his face sank immediately.

Ding Wei said: "The frontier observation post just reported that the independent battalion launched an attack after the devils stopped attacking, and achieved very good results."

"The little devil's offensive has become weaker, presumably he has mobilized some of his troops to deal with the independent battalion."

Li Yunlong nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The little devils have mobilized part of their troops to deal with the independent battalion, which means that their troops at the front must be quite empty. It is the perfect time for us to launch an attack and annihilate them." opportunity!"

"Old Ding, what do you think?"

Ding Wei thought carefully for a moment and said, "Lao Li, the Devil's 4th Brigade has been surrounded by us and the Independence Battalion. They will give up breaking out now. It's only a matter of time before they are destroyed."

"We don't need to make unnecessary sacrifices just to advance this little bit of time."

Of course Li Yunlong understood the meaning of Ding Wei's words, but if the time dragged on longer, Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji's part of the spoils would be second to none, since they were all his own people anyway.

But the key problem is that as time goes by, the little devil will also consume a lot of ammunition, which is the loss of their Eighth Route Army.

Just when Li Yunlong was thinking and hesitating, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, suddenly turned back from the front in a hurry: "Report, regiment commander, the little devil is ready to break through!"

"The little devil is ready to break through?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't help being taken aback: "Didn't the little devil start to break through just now?"

Zhang Dabiao: "The little devil only left part of his troops to contain our army, and his main force has already broken out to the north of the col."

Li Yunlong came to a sudden: "Damn it, we fell for it, the little devil is playing tricks on us! They pretended to break through from the front, but in fact the northern mountain col is their real goal!"

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei next to him, glared at him and said: "See? This is what you call waiting for the 772nd and 771st regiments to reduce our casualties. Let's wait a little longer, I'm afraid the daylily It's all cold!"

"It's all your fault for missing the opportunity! Let me tell you, Lao Ding, if that old devil Masao Nishiyama runs away this time, the spoils of your independent regiment will be halved!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong turned his head to look at Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion: "Zhang Dabiao, pass on my order, and the whole regiment will launch an attack immediately!
This time there is no main attack, each battalion is the main attack, I have only one request, that is to catch up with the main force of the 4th Devil Brigade and wipe them all out! "

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao suddenly agreed, and then turned around to convey the order.

"Pass me the order, independent regiment, attack across the board, target, destroy the Devil's 4th Brigade!"

Not to be outdone, Ding Wei followed closely with the order to attack.

Now that things are up to now, Zhao Gang will naturally not stop him.Although his thinking is somewhat conservative, it is not pedantic.
