Chapter 84 Solving the Puppet Army Cavalry Battalion

The cavalry battalion directly under the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was mainly composed of members of the security regiment, but its battalion commander was transferred from the Puppet Manchukuo Army outside the customs.

According to the description of the captured lieutenant of the puppet army, the commander of the battalion was a hard-core traitor, ruthless and evil.

Therefore, after the puppet cavalry battalion commander's troops appeared, Chen Ziyun decisively gave the order to shoot and shot him directly.

When the puppet battalion commander was resolved, the remaining puppet cavalry lost command.

Seeing a large number of Jinsui troops appearing nearby, they could only dismount obediently, lay down their weapons and choose to surrender.

Two reinforced supplementary companies composed of prisoners of war rushed over quickly and immediately collected weapons and equipment.

Chen Ziyun captured 200 main cavalrymen of the puppet army, and more than 100 cavalrymen left behind in Wanjia Town were dealt with by Li Yunlong.

So far, the cavalry battalion of the Imperial Association Army has been completely resolved.

The weapons and equipment carefully selected by the Japanese army for the puppet cavalry became the spoils of the 358th regiment and the new regiment.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun also completed the task of systematically rescuing Wei Dayong and the task of the captive cavalry battalion entrusted to him by Chu Yunfei.

Of course, after learning about the real combat power of this puppet army and the situation on the battlefield, Chen Ziyun didn't plan to go back immediately.

At present, the Japanese and puppet troops are in Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town respectively, and the two Japanese and puppet troops respectively have about 3000 people.

Among the Japanese and puppet troops in Qingshan Town, the Imperial Association Army occupies the majority, and the Japanese army has only 400 soldiers.

The artillery company, guard company, and infantry battalion commanded by Chen Ziyun did not suffer much casualties.

Instead, after rescuing the prisoners of war, solving the [-] Japanese troops in Qingshan Town, and capturing [-] puppet cavalry, they were expanded with weapons and troops.

More than 500 prisoners of war are currently equipped with weapons and equipment from the Japanese and puppet troops, and they are also capable of combat.

Counting the captured puppet cavalry, Chen Ziyun commanded 2000 troops at this time!
Their overall equipment is not bad, and they are fully capable of fighting the Japanese and puppet troops.

And with their current strength, even if they are not opponents of the Japanese and puppet troops, they can easily break out and return to the 358 regiment station safely!
"The guard company will be expanded to form two submachine gun platoons, one rifle platoon, and one machine gun platoon."

"The submachine gun platoon is equipped with fifty Jin-made submachine guns and ten Jin-made shell guns, with a staff of 60."

"The rifle platoon is equipped with three Jin-made light machine guns, three grenadiers, thirty 50-style rifles, and a team of [-] people."

"The machine gun platoon is equipped with two Japanese heavy machine guns and two Japanese 81MM mortars, with a staff of 40."

Chen Ziyun found Chu Yu immediately, and he strengthened the guard company.

After expansion, the total strength of the guard company exceeds 200!

Japanese-style heavy machine guns and mortars were captured in Qingshan Town, and there were also ready-made shooters and gunners among the prisoners of war.

These prisoners of war are all experienced in combat. When they join the guard company, as long as they get used to it, they will naturally become even more powerful.

The strengthened guard company has greatly improved its overall combat effectiveness.

Soon, about [-] prisoners of war, including Monk Wei, began to be selected and joined the guard company.

The strength of the two supplementary companies is more than 400 people.

Chen Ziyun adjusted the deployment according to the battlefield situation, and the ministries began to advance towards the designated positions and set up artillery positions.

Of course, for the captured puppet cavalry, Chen Ziyun specially dispatched an infantry company from the second battalion to take care of them.

The current weapons and personnel of the two supplementary companies formed by prisoners of war are relatively chaotic. Chen Ziyun did not arrange for them to participate in the battle this time.

Not long after, Wu Ziqiang's second battalion set up an ambush position with three infantry companies and one machine gun company.

The guard company is deployed near the battlefield and acts as a mobile combat force.

The six Jin orogenic cannons of the artillery company have already built an artillery position and can launch indirect bombardment at any time.

Zhou Wenbo's observation team will provide accurate shooting data for Shanpao.

Chen Ziyun is ready, and the Japanese and puppet troops in Qingshan Town have also been reported by the cavalry signal soldiers of the puppet army.

Qingshan Town currently has the 16th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army and the Ishikawa Brigade drawn from the 37th Division of the Japanese Army.

After listening to the report, Major Ishikawa, who was in charge of the command, took out the map and looked at it, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The more than 100 cavalry left behind in Wanjia Town were quietly eliminated. The Japanese army judged that this may have been done by the Jinsui army.

After all, only the well-equipped Jinsui Army can quickly control the puppet cavalry and let them choose to surrender.

Therefore, the Fujita Brigade and the 15th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army quickly returned to help, preparing to entangle this Jinsui army.

But now, the puppet cavalry who searched around Qingshan Town found something, which made Major Ishikawa a little confused.

He pondered for a long time before a sudden realization appeared on his face.

"I understand. The attack on Qingshan Town is indeed the troops of the Jinsui Army."

"After the Jinsui army takes Qingshan Town, they will definitely move quickly to avoid being attacked by us."

"But there are troops from the Eighth Route Army nearby. These Eighth Route Army came over quickly when they heard the sound of gunfire."

"The Jinsui army is not short of supplies, so after the Eight Route Army rushed over, they cleaned up the battlefield!"

"And the troops discovered by the cavalry battalion must be the Eighth Route Army!"

Major Ishikawa thought he had seen through everything, and said swearingly.

Most of his analysis was correct. Qingshan Town was captured by the troops commanded by Chen Ziyun, and it was the Eighth Route New Second Regiment who followed up to clean up the battlefield.

However, Shao Zuo Ishikawa would never have imagined that the eighth route troops fighting in Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town at this time had two regiments.

So he thought that it was the Jinsui Army troops that dealt with the puppet cavalry in Wanjia Town, and it was the Eighth Route Army that was discovered by the puppet cavalry at this time.

"The Eighth Route Army will definitely be entangled by the cavalry of the Imperial Association Army. As long as we rush to help them quickly, we can completely eliminate them!"

"Commander Zhou, you command the 16th regiment of the Imperial Association Army to approach the cavalry quickly and attack the Eighth Route Army with all your strength."

"Our brigade will stay in Qingshan Town, and we can start exciting battles at any time!"

Major Ishikawa pondered for a while, and he decisively issued a combat order and said.

In his opinion, an infantry regiment and a cavalry battalion dispatched by the Imperial Association Army are enough to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

About [-] infantry and [-] cavalry troops, even if they can't solve the Eighth Route, they are enough to pin them down.

At the critical moment, the Ishikawa Brigade can also quickly rush to the rescue, thus completely solving the eight-way problem.

Of course, Shao Zuo Ishikawa did not personally command the troops to attack, mainly because he thought that they needed support for the battle, probably in the direction of Wanjia Town.

After all, in his opinion, Wanjia Town has well-equipped Jinsui Army.

"Hey, Taijun, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task."

Commander Zhou of the 16th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army stood at attention and saluted Major Ishikawa directly.

Immediately afterwards, more than 1000 imperial association troops moved quickly, and they quickly advanced towards the battlefield under the leadership of the cavalry signal soldiers of the puppet army.
