Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 424 Ding Wei's plan, he is the one standing in the atmosphere!
What Shinozuka Yoshio thought of, Yamamoto Kazuki also thought of it, and he remonstrated: "Your Excellency, Commander, now that the armored train of the Imperial Army falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely threaten all the second-level troops of the Imperial Army along the entire Zhengtai Railway." Strongholds, even various county towns.

Now it seems that we have to change our strategy and find a way to solve this hidden danger first. "

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded approvingly: "Yamamoto-kun, you are right. Ono-kun, immediately call back the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade and ask them to send out the garrison immediately. They don't want to take back the armored train, but Destroy it at least, or at worst blow up some of the tracks so it won't run!"

Ono Nobunaga said weakly: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Army's independent and mixed 1st Brigade may not be able to complete this task, because they also reported in the message that Yangquan County was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and at least thousands of The Eighth Route Army invaded the county."

Yoshio Shinozuka's expression changed: "Nani? What are you talking about? Yangquan County was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army?"

"Hi Yi!"

Ono Nobunaga nodded heavily.

Yoshio Shinozuka: "How is it possible? Even if the Eighth Route Army attacked Yangquan County, how could they break through the city defenses without the assistance of armored trains?"

Nobunaga Ono: "The 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army stationed in Yangquan County rebelled collectively, surrendered to the Eighth Route Army, and let it in through the west gate they guarded!"

"Baga! These nasty Chinese people spoiled my good deeds!"

Shinozuka Yoshio could no longer suppress the anger deep in his heart, and punched heavily on the table in front of him where the sand table was placed.

With the sound of 'bang', all the devil officers in the combat class were frightened and kept silent.

Chief of Staff Jun Miyano tentatively asked, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?"

Shinozuka Yoshio narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an undisguised murderous aura. However, although he was angry, he did not lose his mind. After thinking for a while, he said: "Yangquan County must not be lost, and the order to be independent mixed into the first The 1st Brigade must defend Yangquan County no matter what! Just say that I will send troops to reinforce it!"

"Hi Yi!"

Ono Nobunaga, the head of the communications section, nodded heavily, then turned and left to send a telegram.

Chief of Staff Miyano Jun said: "Your Excellency, Commander, which imperial army do you plan to send to Yangquan for reinforcements? Is it the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Army stationed in Jinzhong County?"

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head: "No, I don't intend to provide tactical guidance to the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade.

Although the 9th Brigade stationed in Jinzhong County can arrive at Linyangquan within 3 hours by train, it can also assist the independent and mixed 1st Brigade to defend Yangquan County.

But when the Eighth Route Army attacked Yangquan County, it must have thought of this, and dispatched reserve troops to set many traps on the way.

At that time, the 9th Brigade will not only be unable to provide any help to the independent and mixed 1st Brigade, even Jinzhong will be at risk of being lost. "

Jun Miyano realized in an instant that the commander loyal to Hideo said that he would provide tactical guidance to the independent mixed 1st brigade, but it was just to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.

Immediately asked again: "Your Excellency, what should we do now?"

"Wait!" Shinozuka Yoshio said.

Indeed, at the moment, they have no better way than to wait.

……

The screen returns to Yangquan County.

The infantry of the Second Independent Regiment cooperated and quickly occupied the entire west of the city, and continued to kill the east of the city from west to east.

Along the way, the Japanese garrison was beaten back steadily, and the dead bodies of devils and various lost weapons and equipment could be seen everywhere on the streets.

During the period, the gendarmerie, ronin, and detective team all joined in, but they were still in the driver's seat, unable to save the situation at all. They only slowed down the progress of the Second Independent Regiment, that's all.

……

Outside the east gate.

Ding Wei, the head of the independent regiment, had already divided the independent regiment into three parts, encircling the three city gates in the north, south, east and three walls.

At this moment, Ding Wei felt itchy when he heard the sound of gunshots and explosions coming from the city.

The Second Independence Regiment was the main attack, but their Independence Regiment could only wait on the sidelines, and couldn't even see it, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

The first battalion commander stomped his feet and said, "Regimental Commander, this Commander Wang doesn't let us participate in the siege, is it because he wants to monopolize the spoils of war?"

Ding Wei said: "It's not enough to swallow it alone, but it certainly won't leave us with too many good things."

The first battalion commander said anxiously: "Commander, the qualifications of our independent regiment are much older than their second independent regiment, why should they let the second independent regiment take the main attack, while our independent regiment stares blankly at the side, why don't you tell the brigade commander How about applying for the main attack?"

Ding Wei: "Why should the Second Independent Regiment be the main attack? Of course it is based on strength! Do you think that the combat effectiveness of our independent regiment can match that of Commander Wang's Second Independent Regiment?"

The commander of the first battalion stopped talking, because it was no match at all. Moreover, the independent regiment can develop to its current scale, so to speak, it still has the glory of the second independent regiment.

Ding Wei said again: "Don't forget, those strongholds that were attacked last night were actually given to us by Commander Wang, otherwise, he could have fought by himself."

"Yangquan County is so big. In addition to the munitions factory warehouse of the Japanese Army's independent mixed 1st Brigade, there are also many local tyrants and evil gentry. If we just hit a few, the benefits we can get will not be less."

Speaking of this, the corner of Ding Wei's mouth suddenly raised an imperceptible smile, and then he said after changing the subject: "I know why I didn't grab the main attack mission of Niangziguan Railway Station with Captain Li Yunlong, but asked to assist Wang Is the head of the regiment attacking Yangquan County?"

The commander of the first battalion suddenly realized that his admiration for the regiment commander Ding Wei suddenly rose to an unbelievable level.

If Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's main attack on Niangziguan Railway Station was on the second floor compared to other second-level strongholds, then their leader Ding Wei was at least on the third floor, or even higher.

There is an ordnance repair shop in Niangziguan, and there is also a reinforced brigade of devils stationed there, and it can indeed reap a lot of benefits if it is defeated.

But don’t forget that Yangquan County is the largest county in the southeast of Shanxi, and its prosperity ranks among the top in Shanxi. There are not only a large number of wealthy local tyrants and evil gentry in the county, but also the Japanese army’s independent mixed first brigade military warehouse.

Taking a piece of the pie casually, the benefits you can get are comparable to the entire Niangziguan Railway Station. The most important thing is that the independent group doesn't even need to consume a single bullet. This is pure income.

However, the Xinyi Regiment and the Xin Er Regiment must consume a lot of ammunition to attack Niangziguan Railway Station, and the spoils they get are gross income, and capital needs to be removed.

From this point of view, their leader Ding Wei is the smartest and the one who sees the most thoroughly!

Except for the first battalion commander, the other cadres of the independent regiment also gave their thumbs up.
