Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 430 The Shocked Brigadier: The Second Independent Regiment captured Yangquan County?
After listening to the words of Naotomi Hattori, the head of the communications department, he hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, the situation is not what you imagined. It was put into Yangquan from the west gate.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to capture Yangquan County, let alone capture it in such a short period of time. "

Naoko Hattori nodded suddenly. If the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army rebelled and put the Eighth Route Army into Yangquan, with the Eighth Route Army's madness and fearlessness, plus it was a sneak attack, it would be really hard to capture Yangquan Not a difficult task.

If this is the case, even if the overall combat effectiveness of the 9th Brigade is not as good as that of the independent and mixed 1st Brigade, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to capture Jinzhong.

But soon, Hattori Naotomi thought of a terrible thing again. Will the Jinzhong security group also rebel?

If this is the case, the consequences will be disastrous.

Bao Tianzhen, the chief of staff next to him, also thought of this possibility, and his expression changed: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, last time the security team was cut off by the imperial army in the first battle of Zhaojiaao, and they were all captured by the Eighth Route Army. Weapons and equipment, even the military uniforms on his body, were seized by the Eighth Route Army.

But the Eighth Route Army did not kill them, and even released them all back. "

"Besides, in the battle of Zhaojia'ao, the Imperial Association Army did not work hard, do you think they will betray the Imperial Army like the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army?

In other words, in fact, they have never sincerely surrendered to the imperial army, but played the role of spies. "

"Although the imperial army's previous sweeps were massive each time, in the end they hardly achieved any results. Almost before the imperial army reached the base of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army ran away early as if they had heard the wind.

Could this be the secret reported by the Imperial Association Army? "

When Hattori Naochen heard this, his whole body was terrified. The west gate of Jinzhong County was also guarded by the Imperial Army. If the Imperial Army also quietly let the Eighth Route Army in through the west gate, wouldn't Jinzhong be in danger?

Thinking of this, Hattori Naotomi immediately said: "Yota-kun, you should immediately send the 3rd Squadron to the west city gate and replace the Imperial Association Army from the security regiment.

Also, start an investigation immediately, whether this Jinzhong security regiment has colluded with the enemy and mutinied! "

"It's best if there is none, if there are any, all of them will be wiped out, as a warning to others!"

"Hi Yi!"

Hoda Shinton took the order, then turned and left.

Then, the head of the communications section reported the loss of the armored train and the fall of Niangziguan to Hattori Naoomi.

But Naoko Hattori's mind was full of thoughts about whether the Jinzhong Security Corps had colluded with the enemy and rebelled, and whether Jinzhong County might be attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

If the Jinzhong security regiment defected with the enemy and the Eighth Route Army really attacked Yangquan County, how would he deal with it.

Therefore, they directly ignored the loss of the armored train and the loss of Niangziguan...

In Xujiaao.

The 129th Brigade of the 386th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Two and a half hours had passed since the attack was launched, but there was still no good news coming from the front line. The brigade commander, deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff and others couldn't help feeling drowsy.

At this moment, the commander of the communication company suddenly rushed in with a translated message: "Brigade Commander, good news!"

Hearing these words, the sleepiness of the brigade commander, deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff and others disappeared instantly.

Deputy Chief of Staff Wang was the first to ask, "What good news?"

"The Second Independent Regiment has just sent a telegram saying that they have captured Yangquan County and wiped out all the Japanese troops in Yangquan County, and no one has escaped!

Currently, the Second Independent Regiment and the Independent Regiment are cleaning up the battlefield and launching operations against local tyrants. "

"What? You mean, the Second Independent Regiment has taken Yangquan County?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Wang thought that the first large Japanese stronghold to be captured was Pingping, Yin Lingzhi, any of the 12 large strongholds, and even Niangziguan Railway Station, but he never thought about it. The good news came from Yangquan County.

You know, this is a county with solid fortifications, and the garrison strength exceeds 3000, which is far beyond what other large strongholds can match.

"Yes, Deputy Chief of Staff!"

The communications company commander nodded in response.

Even though he had received definite news and knew that Wang Chengzhu would never dare to joke about this matter, his shocked heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Not only the deputy chief of staff Wang, but also the chief of staff, the deputy brigade commander and others were all shocked.

Only the Brigadier didn't see any expression fluctuations on his face, as if all this had been expected by him.

The deputy brigade commander next to him said in surprise: "Brigade commander, did you know that the first to receive the good news would be the Second Independent Regiment?"

The brigade commander nodded noncommittally, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten? The Second Independent Regiment did not act alone, let alone act rashly. Instead, it was prepared a long time ago and instigated the rebellion of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army." Sun Yuliang, the brigade commander."

"Although there are more than 3000 Japanese troops stationed in Yangquan County, this force is not the biggest obstacle to the Second Independent Regiment's capture of Yangquan County.

The real resistance is the Chenghuan fortifications in Yangquan County, or in other words, our Eighth Route Army lacks heavy firepower weapons to attack fortifications.

This is not only a problem that plagues the Second Independent Regiment, but also a problem that plagues our entire Eighth Route Army. It is precisely because of this that our Eighth Route Army appears helpless and helpless when facing the devil's stronghold.

Even building a small bunker was a struggle. "

Speaking of this, the brigade commander suddenly paused, then changed the subject and continued: "With the cooperation of Sun Yuliang, the Second Independent Regiment can easily bypass the Chenghuan fortifications and directly enter Yangquan County, just like when we attacked the devil's bunker, You can directly bypass the devil's fire blockade and the solid bunker wall, and enter the bunker, and you can still enter without anyone noticing. Is it difficult to take this bunker?
With the strength of the Second Independent Regiment, as long as they can quietly enter Yangquan County, it will not be a big problem to wipe out the 3000 Japanese troops defending the city, not to mention the assistance of the Independent Regiment and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army . "

"So, I won't be surprised that the first to report the good news will be the Second Independent Regiment."

When the brigade commander said this, the rest of the people were relieved.

When they were in Wangjiacun, the Second Independent Regiment was able to defeat the reorganized Japanese 4th Brigade on the frontal battlefield. Now it is completely normal to be able to wipe out a Japanese army that cannot reach a single regiment.

Although at that time, the Independent Second Regiment of the Independent Battalion was assisted by the main force of the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the 771st and 772nd Regiments, but at that time the Independent Battalion had just experienced the Battle of Huluxia, and the troops suffered casualties, not to mention the generals. After a long-distance raid, the combat effectiveness is even less than [-]% of what it is now.
