Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Wang Chengzhu pointed to the map and said: "Jinzhong is different from Pingding County. Not only is there a whole regiment of devils stationed there, but there are also gendarmerie, Japanese ronin, and a puppet security regiment. The total garrison strength exceeds 5000."

"Facing the heavily defended Jinzhong County, even if we use armored trains to blow open the city gate, we will definitely not be able to force our way into the city."

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed the subject, and then continued: "Of course, our regiments together have a total strength of nearly 2 troops, and with the artillery support of armored trains, even if we divide two regiments to stop Taiyuan The reinforcements from the devils on the other side can still break through the Jinzhong city defense.

It's just that in this way, we will definitely cause a lot of casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses. "

"So, a strong attack is not advisable."

Cheng Xiazi: "Brother Zhuzi, what is your plan?"

"The encirclement must be quelled!" Wang Chengzhu spit out four words slowly, and then continued: "Our troops divided into four groups, surrounded the four gates of the southeast, north, and west of Jinzhong County, and launched a fierce attack at the same time, and then forced the devils to pass by the railway. Come out!"

Cheng Xiazi frowned slightly: "Could this be just our wishful thinking? After all, Naotomi Hattori is not our son. If you can be so obedient and let him come out of the railway station, he will come out of the railway station?"

Li Yunlong: "I also oppose Geng Bin. The Japanese puppet army in Jinzhong County has at least 5000 troops, and we need at least three regiments to stop the reinforcements from Taiyuan."

"In this way, our military strength is at most twice that of the devils. If we divide it into four parts, our unilateral military strength will be one to two with the devils."

"Although I don't want to admit it, but there is one thing to say, at this stage, there is still a big gap between the fighting power of our Eighth Route Army and the devils.

Let alone one-to-two, even one-to-three or one-to-four doesn't have much chance of winning. "

"If you ask me, we should concentrate our forces and use the artillery fire of armored trains to storm one place."

At this time, the voices of Ding Wei and Kong Jie suddenly came from outside the door: "What if our independent group and the new second group are added?"

Hearing this remark, everyone was overjoyed at first, and then there was a bit of pity on their faces.

Because Ding Wei and Kong Jie came, it meant that the spoils of Jinzhong County would be divided into two more.

Ding Wei said: "Brother Zhuzi, you are not kind, you didn't inform me of such an important matter."

Wang Chengzhu: "Didn't you go back to the brigade department to report, and you can't get in touch for the time being. I'm thinking, and I'll contact you when you come back. It's still early anyway."

Everyone was not surprised that Ding Wei would appear in Yangquan County. After all, Ding Wei's independent regiment originally cooperated with the second independent regiment to attack Yangquan.

It was Kong Jie's sudden appearance here that surprised them all.

Li Yunlong asked: "Old Kong, didn't you clean the battlefield at Niangziguan? Why did you come to Yangquan suddenly?"

Kong Jie had already heard the news of Li Yunlong's looting along the way, so he said angrily, "You're ashamed to say, go and get rich by yourself, and let Lao Tzu and Madam lock up your ass."

"I don't care, your share of the booty must be shared with me, otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you the spoils of Niangziguan." …

Hearing this, Li Yunlong quit immediately: "I said Kong Er is a fool, what do you mean? Is it because I get rich and don't take you?"

"You don't know how far Niangziguan is from Pingping? Armored trains have a limited loading capacity, and your new second regiment is traveling on two legs. Will you be able to make it in time?"

"Later, Lao Cheng's 772 Regiment, Lao Xu's 771 Regiment, and Lao Chen's 769 Regiment all reached Pingding County by their legs!"

Wang Chengzhu immediately smoothed things over and said: "Regimental Commander, Brother Kong Jie was just joking with you. After we take down Jinzhong County this time, we will also eat the devils who came to reinforce us from Taiyuan. I guarantee that your regiments will at least be able to fight again." Arm a reinforced battalion.

And it's still Japanese-style equipment, the kind with guns and cannons! "

When Wang Chengzhu said that, the two of them stopped talking.

After all, this attack on Jinzhong County was not only led by Wang Chengzhu, but also Wang Chengzhu's independent second regiment was the absolute main force.

Anyone can do without them in this battle, except Wang Chengzhu.

Let's talk about Kong Jie again.

It turned out that after Kong Jie cleaned the battlefield of Niangziguan, he immediately left some soldiers and a new group of soldiers left by Li Yunlong to carry the spoils, while he chased west along the Zhengtai Railway.

How could the two roads run faster than the iron wheels of the train, and it was delayed for more than two hours.

By the time he hurried and led his troops to the flat stronghold, Li Yunlong and the others had already taken the stronghold, and the spoils were almost cleaned up.

After asking the soldiers left to clean the battlefield, they learned that Li Yunlong and Cheng Xiazi had gone to the Jucheng stronghold again.

Then he chased towards the Jucheng stronghold, finally to the Donghui stronghold, and then to the Pingding stronghold.

Without exception, wherever Kong Jie went, the battle had ended and the spoils of war were almost cleaned up.

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

Later, the sky brightened.

In order to avoid the reconnaissance of the Devil Air Force, Kong Jie could only temporarily hide his troops in a mountain forest 20 kilometers east of Pingding County to rest.

He himself led the guards and rode all the way to Pingding County.

When they arrived in Pingding County, they learned that Li Yunlong, Cheng Xiazi and others had been invited to Yangquan by Wang Chengzhu, so they rushed to Yangquan without stopping.

When entering the city, I happened to meet Ding Wei who had reported back from the brigade, so the two came to the temporary regiment headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment together.

After Kong Jie and Ding Wei listened to Wang Chengzhu's narration, Ding Wei frowned slightly and said, "Brother Zhuzi, although your battle plan is very good, I'm afraid that the devils in Jinzhong City won't play cards according to your plan.

You must know that the devils in Pingding, Yangquan, and even other large strongholds did not choose to abandon their defenses to break through when they encountered strong attacks.

The strategic position of Jinzhong is far stronger than that of Yangquan and Pingping. I am afraid that most of the ministers of Hattori will stand by and wait for help. "

Ding Wei's worry was also the worry of other people, so everyone focused their eyes on Wang Chengzhu's face, wanting to hear his analysis.

Wang Chengzhu said: "It depends on whether our siege troops can put enough pressure on Naoko Hattori, and whether the blocking troops can put enough pressure on the devil's reinforcements."

"The successive fall of Yangquan County, Pingding County, Niangziguan, Pingping, Jucheng and Donghui stronghold must have made Yoshio Shinozuka realize a truth.

That is, losing a position that must be lost and sacrificing the defenders is far worse than letting them retreat. "

"After all, the current Japanese troops in Shanxi are very limited, and they lost the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade last night.

If another 9th Infantry Brigade is lost tonight, and Taiyuan's garrison is severely damaged, Taiyuan will be in danger. "

"So, as long as Shinozuka Yoshio is not stupid, he will know how to choose."

"He will definitely give an order for Naoko Hattori to lead his troops to break out of Jinzhong County!"
