Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 36: Battle of Xinping Fort in the Defense of Xinghe County

"Report, urgent call from Xinghe County Security Team!" Just as a group of bigwigs were arguing endlessly, the operator stood up and said loudly, extremely emotional.

A group of bigwigs in the headquarters were startled by the radio operator's loud and loud voice, Dong Qiwu, the brigade commander of the 218 brigade next to him, shouted loudly: "What's the matter, didn't you see the military seat and the deputy seat discussing things? "

"Reporting to the military seat, the security team of Xinghe County sent an urgent call from Xinpingbao. It's good news!" said the operator.

"Good news, bring it quickly, this kid stays up in the middle of the night, what good news is there?" Fu Zuoyi said suspiciously.

Fu Zuoyi took the telegram handed over by the operator and read it carefully. As soon as he read the beginning, Commander Fu burst out laughing, causing the senior generals of the headquarters to look sideways.

"Junzuo, what good things do you have that you can't enjoy alone, the brothers are all waiting for you here, come and listen to me?" As Fu Zuoyi's hard-core confidants, Dong Qiwu and Fu Zuoyi have always talked very casually.

"Read it?" Fu Zuoyi asked with a smile.

"Of course, it must be a good thing that the army is smiling like a flower. You can take advantage of it by reading it aloud, brothers, and have fun." Dong Qiwu said.

"Okay, then I'll be a waiter. Listen carefully, this is a telegram from Chen Feng, the head of the Xinghe County Security Corps. The telegram is as follows: Chen Feng, the humble officer of the Xinghe County Security Corps in Suiyuan Province, sent a telegram for the second battle." District Commander Yan and Commander Fu of the Seventh Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army took advantage of the night to attack the ammunition depot of the Japanese Army’s Chahar Dispatch Corps last night, destroying the large amount of munitions, oil and materials that the Chahar Dispatch Corps had hoarded near Liushugou. Living supplies, and killed the Japanese Army's Chahar Dispatched Corps du li mixed into the first brigade commander Major General Sakai Koji and the following generals. There were no casualties in our department. Now our department has withdrawn to the front line of Xinpingbao and is temporarily separated from it. The pursuit of the Japanese army."

"Really, a guard company dared to sneak attack the logistics base of the Japanese army, destroyed countless materials and killed the major general of the Japanese army without any casualties. Is it impossible?"

"How is this possible? Little Ri is not made of mud. Not to mention a company, even a division may not be able to achieve such results in the encirclement of tens of thousands of Japanese troops."

The first reaction of these senior officers in the headquarters was that it was impossible. The results of such a battle were too unbelievable.

Fu Zuoyi frowned and looked at these generals in the headquarters, and then said: "If you can't do it, it doesn't mean others can't do it too. Let me tell you, this security regiment wiped out two soldiers from the Japanese army with a single infantry battalion yesterday morning. The artillery brigade and an infantry squadron destroyed 24 field artillery pieces, and none of the Japanese army slipped through the net, from the captain of the major commander to the ordinary soldiers. It is not impossible to use a company to sneak attack on the Japanese army's arsenal. You have forgotten that we are here so late Is the reason for the meeting here? If the security team really sent a small force to attack the Japanese army's arsenal tonight, then those violent explosions on the eighth floor were caused by them. I just don't know why Chen Feng said that Sakai was killed for the first time. Not true anymore."

"So what happened yesterday has been confirmed?" Ye Qijie asked in surprise.

"Well, although the military command is a bastard, it does have a set of espionage. It was confirmed at noon yesterday that the Japanese army not only lost two artillery brigades, 24 units, 75 Qing and other places. Then I, the commander of the Seventh Army, followed suit," Fu Zuoyi said.

"Excellent, I don't know that little head of the security regiment is full of melon seeds. Doesn't he know how to be afraid? One battalion went to attack the artillery positions of the Japanese army, and the other company went to attack the Japanese army's arsenal. The newborn calf Ah!" Dong Qiwu said with emotion.

"This kid really didn't disappoint me. We didn't give away our weapons and equipment for free before the war. The military seat has a unique vision, brilliant! Hahaha!!!" Ye Qijie also said with a smile.

"Before, I was just trying to win over the Siziwang tribe behind Chen Feng, but I didn't expect that this kid was also a man of talent, and he killed the major general of the Japanese army. With this credit, Chen Feng, the major general and brigade commander of the first-class brigade, would not be able to escape, hehe Ha ha!" Fu Zuoyi said with a smile.

"Military seat, it seems that we don't need to worry about the situation of the No. 60 First Army for the time being. There are no guns and ammunition. The little devil will have nothing to do with the No. 60 First Army in a short time. We can concentrate on dealing with Itagaki Seishiro That hungry wolf." Ye Qijie said.

"That's right, the commander-in-chief is now cornered by Itagaki Seishiro. The whole line of Jinbei and Jinzhong is in a hurry. The strength of the Seventh and Eighth Army is indeed a bit weak. With the help of the security team, we don't need to worry about the little ones for at least half a month." The devil has entered Shanxi, so hurry up and send a report to the commander, and forward it according to the original text sent by the security team, without modifying a single word. We have already taken advantage of that kid once, so forget it this time." Fu Zuoyi said.

After receiving the telegram from the Seventh Army, Yan Xishan immediately sent a telegram to the Military Commission in Nanjing, regardless of the middle of the night. The commander in chief of this battle is of course Yan Xishan, Marshal Yan, as for Chen Feng, he is just an executor.

Of course, in order to compensate Chen Feng, the World War II District Chief's Department immediately issued an order: "The security regiment is immediately upgraded to the Jinsui Army's Du Li Seventh Brigade, a type-A brigade prepared for Du Li, and the ammunition and food that is lacking in the World War II District Chief's Department will be given immediately." Solve it, the military commander's department will only give four companies of supplementary recruits, and the rest will be resolved by the Independence Seventh Brigade. Another 5 yuan will be awarded to the Independence Seventh Brigade Dayang, and Chen Feng and other officers will be rewarded."

He also spent a lot of thought on how to reward Chen Feng and Yan Laoxi. Yesterday the security team won the battle, and Yan Laoxi rewarded Chen Feng with a major general brigade commander and [-] oceans. The security team was upgraded from a local army to a regular army and expanded. Became a brigade-level military unit.

However, given that Chen Feng was too young, the record on the file was only 23 years old. According to the customs in the Jinsui area, this was an imaginary age. In fact, Chen Feng's actual age was one or two years younger. It is a Type B brigade, that is, a small brigade with two regiments in one brigade and two battalions in each regiment. The total number of people in the whole brigade is only between 800 and 500.

In this way, after the security regiment wins the battle, the troops will be upgraded and expanded, and the officers will be promoted and get rich.

But now the security regiment has won another battle and killed the major general of the Japanese army. This credit is a bit big.However, it was only a day later, and it is obviously not appropriate to give a big reward. He is a lieutenant general, so Commander Yan had to work hard on the formation of the troops. The B brigade became the A brigade, less than 3000 Although there is no difference in the establishment of the human army, the number of soldiers has increased to more than 5, plus a reward of [-] oceans. Presumably, it should be able to satisfy the officers and soldiers of the security regiment, and it can also stop the crowds of the world.

Chen Feng didn't care about these things, whether it was the Type B brigade or the Type A brigade, anyway, Chen Feng could expand as many troops as he had, and the organization had no effect on him at all.As far as the current security regiment is concerned, there are three infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments, which is only a lot more than the No. 60 Army of the Jinsui Army.

What he is most worried about now is whether and when the Honda United team will come.The Third Security Regiment is still fifteen kilometers away from here. According to the marching speed of the troops, it will take at least two hours. If the Honda Alliance retreats without a fight, Chen Feng's plan will be completely ruined.

"Reporting to the commander, the Honda Regiment of the Japanese Army cleared the way with puppet cavalry troops. The vanguard has passed the Xuanjia Tower, and it is less than [-] kilometers away from Xinping Fort."

"Okay, order the first battalion to immediately enter the fortifications to meet the enemy, and at the same time send a report to Commander Li, order the second and third battalions and the troops directly under the headquarters to reoccupy the Xuanjia Tower immediately after the Japanese army passes the Xuanjia Tower."

"Yes"

After receiving the call from Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, Chief Honda immediately summoned the main officers of the regiment and the cavalry division of the puppet army to have a meeting, and agreed to launch another attack on the Stone Buddha Temple tomorrow, and must capture the Stone Buddha Temple before noon .

But when the army attacked the next day, it was discovered that the cunning Chinese army had retreated quietly last night. Yesterday, it was facing a hard-boned stone Buddhist temple position, leaving nothing but hundreds of new graves newly erected in the back mountain. .After asking Hideki Tojo for instructions, the soldiers and horses of the command post of Mr. Shinda Honda headed straight for Xinghe County.

When the troops arrived at the Xuanjiata, they saw the positions abandoned by the Chinese army, which reassured Honda Shinichi a lot. It seems that the Chinese army has indeed retreated, otherwise the Japanese army would have to pay for the positions of the Xuanjiata alone. No small price to pay.

After passing the Xuanjia Tower, Honda Shinichi led his troops straight to Xinping Fort, the north gate of Tianzhen.

Worried that the troops would be ambushed by the squadron, Shinichi Honda ordered the third cavalry division of the puppet army to go at the forefront, and the search team for the vanguard was even placed five kilometers away.

Marching to around 9 am on September 9th, the vanguard cavalry returned. The squadron had heavy troops stationed in Xinpingbao, and also built strong fortifications. The Prairie Wolf battle flag was flying in front of the position again.
