Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

When the deputy chief of staff said this, everyone was stunned.

Indeed, with the help of the puppet army, the Second Independent Regiment could take all these strongholds within 20 minutes, or even less time.

You must know that although the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is poor, it is far from being an opponent of the devils on the frontal battlefield.

But if it is a black gun shot in the back, it is still very simple to kill the devil.

It's not just talk, it's easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it's hard to defend against it.

What's more, there are far more puppet troops in those strongholds than the devils. When the Second Independent Regiment launches an attack, the devils' attention must be on the Second Independent Regiment, and they will not fortify the puppet troops behind them.

If the puppet army suddenly shoots black guns from behind at this time, killing devils will not be more difficult than killing pigs.

But soon, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang thought of another question: "However, brigade commander, Wang Chengzhu's activation of the 4th mixed brigade now will expose them in advance.

How can we rely on them to win Yangquan County in the future? "

But soon, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang shook his head again, asked himself and answered: "However, Wang Chengzhu must have thought of a countermeasure if he dared to do this.

As long as the phone is controlled and all the devils in these strongholds are killed, the news will not spread. "

"Afterwards, the devils only knew that the stronghold was captured. As for other things, such as the puppet uprising of the 4th Mixed Brigade, they didn't know anything about it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The brigade commander scanned the crowd again and asked, "Do you have any other questions about the report of the Second Independent Regiment?"

"no!"

The crowd shook their heads.

Brigadier: "In that case, let's continue to wait for the reports from other regiments."

Immediately, everyone fell into a long wait.

There was no way, the rest of the regiments did not have radio stations, and their actions basically did not have the assistance of the 4th Mixed Brigade. Naturally, it was impossible for the Second Independent Regiment to end in just 20 minutes.

Therefore, the brigade commander, chief of staff, and other heads of the brigade can only stay at the brigade headquarters, waiting for the cavalry correspondents of the 772nd, 771st, independent, new first, and new second regiments to report.

In order to relieve the pressure on the cavalry correspondents, the brigade commander has moved the brigade headquarters to Xujiaao.

This is the first stop Wang Chengzhu visited when he first came to the southeast of Shanxi for reconnaissance. Now it has become the temporary brigade headquarters of the 386th brigade.

But even if the brigade headquarters is moved forward to Xujiaao, it is still more than ten kilometers away from the nearest front line.

The distance is tens or even hundreds of kilometers.

Counting the combat affairs and the time spent by the cavalry correspondents on the road, the brigade commander estimated that, apart from the report from the Second Independent Regiment, the follow-up news would not come back until three or four o'clock in the morning at the earliest.

Even those small strongholds defended by only one squad are not so easy to take down.

The brigade chiefs knew this too.

Deputy Chief of Staff Wang said: "Brigade Commander, Deputy Brigadier Commander, Chief of Staff, and everyone, the next few days will be the critical period of the decisive battle, and there will be no time to sleep.

I reckon that the rest of the regiments will not get news back until at least 3 am, so I will be on duty tonight, and you all go to sleep for a while.

I'll call you again then.

Or if there is any situation, and if there are any new instructions from the division headquarters or the headquarters, I can call you again. "

The chief of staff waved his hand and said, "Old Wang, it's almost 01:30, it's only been over an hour, why are you still sleeping?"

The deputy brigade commander also said: "That's right, the Second Independent Regiment has made a good start, and I'm looking forward to whether the other regiments will bring us surprises."

The rest of the people nodded their heads deeply. Now that the fierce battle on the front line is in full swing, it is also the time when their spirits are the most excited. How can they fall asleep?

However, the brigade commander did not say anything, stood up directly, then wrapped his leather coat and went to the camp bed next to him, and then said: "Old Wang is right, I will definitely not feel it in the next few days." Slept. But we must keep a clear mind, so let alone sleep for more than an hour, even if it is only half an hour."

After speaking, the brigade commander wrapped the fur coat tighter, and then closed his eyes.

The rest of the people thought the same, so they followed suit one after another, each found a camp bed and lay down on it.

But imagination is beautiful, but reality is skinny.

They had just lay down for 5 minutes, and they were still in a daze before falling asleep, when they were awakened by a rush of horseshoes and hissing.

Deputy head Wang immediately went out looking for the sound, and hurried back after a while: "Brigade Commander, this is the cavalry correspondent. A cavalry correspondent has come to the brigade headquarters!"

"Damn, so fast? Are you deliberately not letting me sleep?" The brigade commander cursed, then turned over and sat up.

However, although the brigade commander was scolding, his face was full of joy.

It's only 1:50, and before 2 o'clock, a communications soldier came to report, which fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade.

Not long after, a messenger ran into the report and said: "Report! The independent regiment has taken the Blackwater stronghold!"

"Good! Nice job!"

The brigade commander let out a drink, and then said to Deputy Chief of Staff Wang: "Deputy Chief of Staff Wang, quickly mark it on the map!"

"Yes!"

Deputy Chief of Staff Wang responded, found the location of Heishui on the map, and then drew a big red cross with a red pen.

In this way, there are already 7 identical red crosses on the entire map, which are Daliang, Yangjiazhuang, Shangzhuang, Shangzhuang, Caojiagou, Yexi, which were laid down by the Second Independent Regiment, and Heishui just brought down by the Independent Regiment.

Although the brigade commander agreed to Wang Chengzhu's request to fight, and the Second Independent Regiment attacked Yangquan County, he made two-handed preparations and asked Ding Wei's independent regiment to serve as a reserve team to ensure safety.

Therefore, the offensive area of ​​the Independent Regiment is actually next to the Second Independent Regiment, and they are all fighting around the strongholds near Yangquan County.

The brigade commander was very happy, because a strong unit of the Second Independent Regiment is not considered strong. Only the entire 386th Brigade, even the entire 129th Division, and the entire Eighth Route Army are strong to be truly strong.

But soon, the smile on the Brigadier's face froze again.

Because the correspondent who came to report added that the reason why the independent regiment was able to quickly capture the Blackwater stronghold was because the puppet troops in the stronghold suddenly turned back.

They even just made a start, and before launching a formal attack, let alone killing a devil, the puppet army inside finished their work, and then raised a white flag to welcome them in.

Why the puppet army inside turned against the water may not be clear to others, but the brigade commander is clear.

Come on, it's Wang Chengzhu's credit again, so I'm so happy.

Not only was the brigade commander happy in vain, Ding Wei was even more happy for nothing. Originally, when he heard the report that the 1st Battalion took down the Blackwater stronghold in less than 20 minutes, he was also surprised.

But when he learned what had happened, he could only smile helplessly. Come on, the Blackwater stronghold was fought by an independent regiment in name, but in fact it was Wang Chengzhu who deserved the credit.

The most exasperating thing is that this gang of puppet troops only surrendered to Wang Chengzhu's Second Independent Regiment.

If it weren't for the puppet army's rebellion, the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment would not have taken down the Blackwater stronghold so easily. In addition, they are Wang Chengzhu's people, and Ding Wei can't do anything to them. It will be handed over to Wang Chengzhu when the Second Independent Regiment converges.

However, they captured the Blackwater stronghold almost without firing a single shot, and killed 54 devils, as well as their weapons and equipment, which is not bad.

Ding Wei could only comfort himself in this way.
