Chapter 83 083 Chang Naichao: The Independent Camp Has No Chance of Winning (4.2K)
The next day.

Almost all fighters of the Independent Battalion in Lincheng County were dispatched.

The goal is to eliminate the new 10th Regiment of the Third Group of the Puppet North China Security Army.

Judging from the military command and the information obtained by kite reconnaissance, the new 10th Regiment moved from Zhaozhuang Township to Heicheng Township, and the necessary place to pass was Xiaobeizhuang.

Although Xiaobeizhuang is called Zhuang, in fact, no one lived there many years ago.

Its terrain is complex, and the soil is mostly saline-alkali land. It is impossible to grow food, and even prey is very rare.

Such uninhabitable conditions, naturally no one chooses to settle here.

In this way, Wang Liang can also let go of his hands and feet, and have a good fight here without any scruples.

Ou Xianghui reported: "Battalion Commander, news came from the reconnaissance squad that half an hour ago, the puppet army had already set off from Zhaozhuang Township, and it is estimated that they will enter our ambush range in a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, Old Ou, let me know and prepare for battle. Tell all the cadres and soldiers that once the battle order is issued, don't have any distracting thoughts, and must go forward without hesitation." Wang Liang urged.

Because the Independent Battalion had more recruits, Wang Liang heard some rumors before the war.

There is not much confidence in the battle where 800 people from the Independent Battalion ambushed [-] people from the puppet army.

I think the gap between the enemy and ourselves is really too big, too big.

Wang Liang could also express his understanding. After all, veterans like Ou Xiang and Zhou Weiguo felt that their decision was too aggressive.

Not to mention the recruits who have only received military training and have never fought in actual combat.

Feelings of fear, nervousness, and worry are perfectly normal.

In terms of the distribution of recruits, Wang Liang asked Ou Xiang to try his best to arrange for the old to lead the new. Every recruit was accompanied by a veteran during the battle, which was more secure.

From a recruit to a veteran, one battle is enough.

The reason why Wang Liang chose to fight this security force team that is several times larger than his own is that he hopes that the recruits can quickly build up their confidence and accumulate combat experience through this battle.

After Ou Xiang responded to Wang Liang's order, he said again: "Battle Commander, there is another situation."

"It was during the reconnaissance process that our soldiers discovered that the national army was also conducting reconnaissance. They seemed to be desperate people. They seemed to be planning on this security force."

This situation surprised Wang Liang, and told Ou Xiang: "Arrange people to pay close attention, keep an eye on it, and report in time if there is any situation."

"Yes!" Ou Xiang knew that this matter was of great importance, and the battle was about to start, so he hurriedly made arrangements.

The National Revolutionary Army made a decisive move, a temporary command post.

This place is bustling today.

Chang Naichao, Colonel and Chief of Staff of the First Deadly Column Headquarters, Shi Hongquan, Colonel and Head of the 166st Regiment of the 1th Division in the Shanxi-Chahar War Zone, Chu Yunfei, Colonel and Head of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and Ye Wanshou, Lieutenant Colonel and Battalion Commander of the Directly Affiliated Battalion of the First Deadly Column

The staff officer said: "Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army has set up an ambush ahead of us, and they want to eat the newly formed 10th Regiment of the Security Force."

It turned out that Chang Naichao also got the news that the newly formed 10th Regiment was going to move to defense, and specially organized three battalions of troops, totaling more than [-] people, intending to ambush the enemy.

The devils are hard to fight, and it is not easy to deal with the puppet army.

What's more, Chang Naichao's tactical intention is to defeat rather than wipe out.

Instead, make a move, withdraw when you take advantage, and don't give the enemy time to bite back.

As for Chu Yunfei, he went to the World War II zone headquarters for a meeting.

I happened to pass by here, and I heard that there was going to be a big move in the battle of the dead, so I stayed here to observe.

More importantly, I heard that Wang Liang's independent battalion was stationed here. Chu Yunfei was very interested in it and wanted to know more about it.

Before Chang Naichao could speak, Ye Wanshou, the direct battalion commander, stood up first and said:

"Balu is crazy, isn't it? I know this independent battalion. There are only three hundred people, and more than half of them are just recruits, who have never fought at all."

"The ratio of nearly one to three is to fight the newly formed 10th Regiment. Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg and sending it to death?"

Shi Hongquan, head of the 1st Regiment, followed closely and said, "That's right, the [-]rd Group of the North China Security Army is different from other scattered puppet troops."

"Officers at the company and battalion level have all studied in the North China Army Officer Corps of the Public Security Army. They were trained by Japanese instructors, and they still have some real skills."

"What's more, these officers are not from the background of ordinary students, but from the army. Before entering the security forces, most of them were students from the Laobao City Lecture Hall and various local military schools, as well as students from foreign military schools who were rejected."

"The age is generally between 30 and 40 years old. They were dismissed for various reasons such as the failure of factional struggles. They have no other skills. They can only lead troops to fight, so they defected to the Japanese and puppets."

Shi Hongquan continued: "This group of people are not just for nothing, they are quite skilled in leading soldiers and fighting battles."

"Even if you are a platoon officer, you have studied at the North China Military Academy system run by the Japanese for at least half a year. If you are also a Japanese instructor, you can be regarded as having drunk foreign ink."

"Different from the North China Army Officer Corps, the Army Officer Academy focuses on cultivating junior officers, and the teaching content is formulated with reference to the Japanese Army Infantry Code."

"Learning content includes tactics, weaponry, fortification, topography, Japanese, standard coaches, field exercises, shooting, and various regulations and teaching models, etc."

"Whether it is knowledge and skill reserves or combat experience, those puppet army officers who are randomly recruited and awarded are far inferior to these people."

"So the Eighth Route Army obviously didn't find out the details of the opponent in advance, and underestimated the enemy carelessly. They thought that what they were going to ambush was a scattered puppet army that would run away in fright when they heard the gunshots."

After Shi Hongquan's speech was over, Chang Naichao had a chance to speak:

"I agree with both of you. The new colonel of the 10th Regiment is named Liu Yinhuan. He is the former commander of the 21st Independent Brigade of the Fengjun Army. He graduated from the Northeast Army Lecture Hall."

"And his elder brother Liu Jinhuan, the former commander of the 21st Independent Brigade of the Fengjun Army, is now the chief of staff of the Major General of the Third Army."

"Liu Yinhuan has such a good brother who works in the third group. Whether it is the source of soldiers, weapons and equipment, it must be the best in terms of supplies."

Chang Naichao, acting like a theorist, continued to analyze:

"On the other hand, this independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army has only [-] people, and two months ago this team was the militia of the county brigade."

"Although it has won several major victories in previous battles with the Japanese army, after careful research and analysis, the methods used by this army to win are nothing more than ingenious tricks that cannot be put on the table."

"If you really open up your posture and confront the Japanese army head-on, three hundred will not be an opponent against three hundred, and there will be no chance of winning."

After Chang Naichao finished speaking, Shi Hongquan saw that Chu Yunfei hadn't said a single word from the beginning to the end, so he said, "What's your opinion, Commander Chu?"

Chu Yunfei smiled and shook his head. It's not that he doesn't have great ideas, he was just rendered speechless by Chang Naichao, Shi Hongquan, and Ye Wanshou, three stinking men who only talk on paper.

If he was in his [-]th Regiment, and the battle was imminent, if someone dared to elevate his opponent and belittle himself, he would order the regiment's guards to pull him out and kill him without hesitation.

Chang Naichao knew that Chu Yunfei was good at fighting, and wanted to hear his opinion, so he persuaded:

"You don't have to be shy, Commander Chu, just speak freely. We all want to hear your opinion on this battle."

Having said all this, Chu Yunfei knew that it was inappropriate for him to hold it, so he asked:
"Chief of Staff, is your battle plan going to wait until the Eighth Army's ambush in Xiaobeizhuang is over? According to your expectation, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be the opponent of the newly formed 10th Regiment. The ambush will turn into a pursuit battle."

"As for your troops, concentrate on setting up an ambush in Shigu Village, and wait for work at ease, because Shigu Village is the only way to retreat on the Eighth Route."

"The second ambush here is something the puppet army could never have dreamed of. Is that so?"

Chang Naichao showed a look of surprise. He had always heard that the Chu Yunfei God in Northwest Shanxi was favored by the principal.

When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary.

He analyzed the battle plan that he had racked his brains to change in one fell swoop, and it can be said to be straightforward.

"Captain Chu is amazing!" Chang Naichao couldn't help giving a thumbs up. He felt that Chu Yunfei thought the same way. He really thinks the same.

Ye Wanshou and Shi Hongquan also flattered Chang Naichao:
"The praying mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind, so it's a brilliant performance!"

Chu Yunfei really made these three people speechless. He coughed twice in embarrassment, and continued:
"Chief of Staff, I haven't finished my sentence yet."

"I personally think that if you make such a deployment, it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be nothing in the end."

Chu Yunfei thought that although Chang Naichao was a deputy teacher, he had no direct relationship with him, so he simply told the truth.

Even if there is a superior-subordinate relationship, according to Chu Yunfei's character, it is outspoken.

If not, he would have been promoted long ago.

"What Commander Chu means is that you think the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army can support the new 10th Regiment?" Chang Naichao felt a little funny.

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Chief of Staff, if your department wants a share of the pie, my suggestion is that you can choose to cooperate with the Independent Battalion and fight jointly."

"Because relying solely on the strength of the independent battalion, it is still very difficult to wipe out the enemy's new 10th regiment, but it is definitely possible to do heavy damage."

"I judge that after being ambushed by the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, the newly formed 10th Regiment will choose to break out of the encirclement in the direction of the way they came and return by the same way after paying a certain price of casualties."

"If the three battalions of your department can be strengthened to the side of the independent battalion and block the enemy's retreat, the enemy can be completely wiped out."

No matter it was Chang Naichao, Shi Hongquan and Ye Wanshou, they all felt that Chu Yunfei's analysis and prediction was too ridiculous and ridiculous.

The No. [-] people who are well-equipped and all officers graduated from majors will be beaten back by the No. [-] mud-legged Tubalu?

Have to break through?

It's just a fool's joke.

Chang Naichao admired Chu Yunfei's strategic vision at first, but now he thinks that he is just a guy who sits in a well and watches the sky.

Time is tight and there is no time to argue too much.

Chang Naichao deployed his three battalions in Shigu Village according to his own ideas.

Only when the new 10th Regiment launched a counterattack against the Independent Battalion, the Independent Battalion couldn't hold back and retreated through Shigu Village, and the troops attacked the pursuing enemy after a decisive move.

Chu Yunfei didn't say anything more from the side, but just shook his head helplessly.

He believes that the independent battalion will definitely not be able to wipe out the huge number of the new 10th regiment.

However, there is still a great possibility that it will be defeated and fled.

Xiaobeizhuang direction.

"coming!"

Following this prompt, I saw Haohao Tangtang, the newly formed 10th Regiment, which had been marching a distance of one kilometer, was approaching the ambush circle.

As Chang Naichao, Shi Hongquan, Ye Wanshou and others said, this team belonging to the Third Army is very different from the puppet army that was randomly recruited in the past.

Like the Japanese army, marching in two columns, the soldiers didn't look loose at all, and they were full of energy.

Walking in the forefront to explore the way is a vanguard squad composed of 12 people.

The vanguard squad is divided into four teams, including three rifle teams and one light machine gun team, each with three people.

The three rifle teams advance forward in a diagonal line, which can ensure that if the front and rear teams are attacked during the advance, they will not be blocked when they shoot.

It is also convenient to quickly form the cooperation of frontal assault and fire support when encountering enemy firepower.

The light machine gun team is on the side of the frontmost rifle team, ready to launch support shooting at any time.

Such a formation can not only advance quickly, but also facilitate cooperation and support.

This is a typical Japanese attack formation, like a swarm of locusts attacking.

The location of each locust is not fixed. If you use a net to catch them, they will quickly disperse and it is difficult to effectively attack them.

Chang Naichao didn't go to Shigu Village to take command. He thought it would be enough for Shi Hongquan and Ye Wanshou to take command there.

He and Chu Yunfei came to Xiaobeizhuang, found a high point to lurk down, and planned to observe the battle of the Eight Routes.

"Professional, so professional! From the march to the queue, it is completely a replica of the Japanese army." Chang Naichao sincerely praised.

Holding up the binoculars, Chu Yunfei observed the team carefully, his expression became more serious, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

From a feeling point of view, the combat effectiveness of the new 10th Regiment seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined.

Wang Liang's independent battalion might be in big trouble this time.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help having great doubts about his previous judgment, and even felt that Chang Naichao's arrangement to set up an ambush in Shigu Village seemed reasonable.

The company commander of the vanguard of the new 10th Regiment quickly ran to the middle of the team, saluted and reported to the regiment leader Liu Yinhuan:
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the vanguard squad in front reported that they found that there are undulating hills on both sides of the road ahead, which is very easy for the troops to hide and is suitable for ambushes."

"Ask the team whether to stop advancing, and arrange two platoons of soldiers to go to the hills on both sides to scout whether there is any enemy."

Liu Yinhuan jumped off his horse and followed the company commander to the head of the team.

Use the binoculars to observe the hills on both sides, and then glance at the map:
"Xiaobeizhuang, this road is too murderous. It is three miles long, so it is very suitable for setting up an ambush."

"Pass my order, the team stops advancing, the second battalion and the second company are responsible for searching the hills on the left, and the second battalion and the third company are responsible for searching the right hills."

"Tell Company Commander Gao and Company Commander Sun that they will send us a semaphore immediately after searching if they find no enemy situation."

"In addition, I also told the two of them that if there is no abnormal situation, there is no need to rush back. They should occupy the commanding heights first. After the whole regiment has passed, they will withdraw and return to the tail of the team."

"Yes! Commander!" The company commander immediately ran to convey Liu Yinhuan's order.
