Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 488 Head of Headquarters: It's Wang Chengzhu?

Telegrams back and forth.

The correspondent at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army translated the call from the 386th brigade and respectfully handed it over to the vice president.

The deputy boss looked it over, and then said: "Chief of Staff, you really hit the spot, Lao Chen really didn't know about the attack on Jinzhong County by the Second Independent Regiment and others.

They not only concealed the headquarters, but also concealed the headquarters of the 386 brigade. "

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said, "Although Wang Chengzhu didn't report it in advance, Lao Chen should know about it, right?"

Vice President: "It can be said that Lao Chen knew, or it could be said that Lao Chen didn't know, because Lao Chen only knew that the Second Independent Regiment lost contact and did not follow his orders to attack the target stronghold, but he didn't know where the Second Independent Regiment went.

Now it is basically certain that it is undoubtedly the Second Independent Regiment who attacked Jinzhong County. "

Deputy Chief of Staff: "In addition to the Second Independent Regiment, what other troops were involved?"

Vice President: "Old Chen said in the telegram that besides Wang Chengzhu's Second Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong's New First Regiment, Ding Wei's Independent Regiment, and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment have also lost contact.

In addition, there are the 772 regiment, the 771 regiment, and the 385 regiment of the 769 brigade.

Presumably, these regiments should have participated in the battle of Jinzhong.

The reason why they were able to break through the city defenses was that the railway troops of the 4th Mixed Brigade repaired the railroad tracks that had been blown up by the Japanese aviation, so that the armored trains captured by the Second Independent Regiment could drive directly to the city of Jinzhong. "

Although the deputy chief of staff was already mentally prepared, after listening to the deputy chief's narration, he still showed a little shock: "Seven regiments? In addition, the 7th mixed brigade of the Royal Association Army who had just revolted, participated in the The troops in the Battle of China must exceed 4, right?"

The deputy boss said: "The combination of Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment and Wang Chengzhu's Independent Second Regiment alone exceeds 1 troops, and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army has at least 5000 troops.

The other six regiments are also the main regiments of the 6th Division. Except for the newly formed Second Regiment, which has a total strength of less than 129, the strength of the other regiments has basically reached or exceeded 2000. "

Speaking of this, the vice president paused, and said with an extremely serious expression: "So, strictly speaking, Wang Chengzhu invested at least 30000 troops in the Battle of Jinzhong!"

Deputy Chief of Staff: "With so many troops in hand, no wonder Wang Chengzhu dared to attack Jinzhong!
That being the case, even if Shinozuka Yoshio will independently form the 8th Brigade, and dispatch the Black Island Cavalry Wing and the 3rd Armored Vehicle Brigade, it will not be able to prevent Wang Chengzhu from taking Jinzhong, and he may even lose more! "

"Soon, Wang Chengzhu will make another great military exploit that has never been seen before!"

Speaking of Wang Chengzhu, the deputy chief of staff had a smile on his face, and an undisguised admiration bloomed in his eyes.

He knows Wang Chengzhu better, and knows that although Wang Chengzhu likes to do some seemingly risky things, he never fights uncertain battles.

Since Wang Chengzhu dared to attack Jinzhong, he must be sure to take it down. The best proof is that he has captured the four gates of Jinzhong now.

Without the crucial defense line of the city wall, Wang Chengzhu used several times his troops to destroy the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade in the city.

Moreover, in terms of weapons and equipment, except for the lack of tanks and armored vehicles in the Second Independent Regiment, other weapons are not inferior to those of the Japanese army, or even worse.

Speaking of this, the deputy chief of staff seemed to have thought of something again, and continued: "It's just that what I'm puzzled about is that the main regiments of the 386 brigade have all received the favor of Wang Chengzhu, and it's understandable that they would follow him to fight against Jinzhong County. .

But Chen Lian, the head of the 385th Regiment of the 769th Brigade, was not familiar with Wang Chengzhu before, and the two had never even met. Why would he disobey orders and participate in it? "

"I have to say, Wang Chengzhu's personality is too strong! Handsome, this guy is definitely handsome!"

Although he was puzzled, the deputy chief of staff appreciated Wang Chengzhu more and more.

Needless to say, Li Yunlong was Wang Chengzhu's old chief before that, and Ding Wei, Kong Jiecheng blind man and others were also extremely rebellious.

On weekdays, they can cooperate with peace-level commanders, but they will never obey the other party's command.

But right now, they are willing to obey the command of a junior. If this son does not have great ability, how can he do this?
The deputy boss said: "This is easy to explain. According to the combat report of the 385th Brigade yesterday, the reason why the 769th Regiment was able to take down the Donghui stronghold last night was the artillery support of the armored train.

Later, Chen Lian boarded Li Yunlong's pirate ship again, participated in the Battle of Ping Ding, and obtained countless spoils. The value of the yellow croaker and Xian Dayang alone exceeded 180 million silver dollars. In addition, there was a large amount of grain , medicines, and weapons and ammunition. "

"This group of guys have their eyes above the top, but they are also a group of 'milk is mother' guys. As long as it is beneficial to take it, let alone obeying the other party's command, it is fine to carry the other party's command behind their backs."

"It must be Wang Chengzhu who used the spoils of Jinzhong County to pull Chen Lian on the thief ship."

Hearing this, the deputy chief of staff sighed and said: "Speaking of which, it's hard for these boys, there's no way, our Eighth Route Army's conditions are hard, all the military expenses, even weapons and equipment, and soldiers need their own Go find a way."

"But it's better now. Before Wang Chengzhu punished Yangquan maintenance chairman Gou Zhengcai, he handed over more than 50 silver dollars. Now he has recovered Pingding County and Yangquan County and received more than 600 million silver dollars.

With this money, the life of our Eighth Route Army will be much better in the future. We can buy a lot of medicines, and many wounded soldiers will no longer be disabled or even sacrificed because they cannot receive medical treatment without medicines. "

Speaking of this, tears welled up in the eyes of the deputy chief of staff. He is the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army. Simply put, he is the deputy chief of the Eighth Route Army.

Whenever he saw those wounded soldiers who were not healed due to lack of medicine, his heart ached like a knife.

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff withdrew his thoughts, and his eyes became firm again: "Jinzhong County, as the southern gateway of Taiyuan City, is far more prosperous and prosperous than Pingdi County and Yangquan County, and there are more local tyrants and evil gentry in the county. .

If Wang Chengzhu and the others successfully take Jinzhong this time, they will definitely be able to raise a large amount of military expenses for our Eighth Route Army! "

After the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, he looked at the deputy boss again. Seeing that there was no trace of happiness on his face, but a trace of anger, he couldn't help but wondered, "Boss, why don't you seem so happy?"

The deputy boss asked with a stern face: "Are you happy? These bastards launched an operation without asking for instructions, and it was such a big operation. It was lawless and there was no discipline at all!"

how do you make me happy
This time I have to severely punish these bastards! "
