Chapter 251 Independent Brigade

"Independent brigade?"

Zhang Lianshun, head of the Zhang Datuan, was stunned for a while, but didn't react for a while.

"Congratulations, Brigadier Zhang!"

"The three regiments sent from the headquarters are also yours."

The former brigade commander patted Zhang Lianshun on the shoulder, speaking with relief and emotion.

It is a good thing and a blessing for his subordinates to be promoted. He does not feel much reconciliation or jealousy. Although some people in the army say that Zhang Lianshun's promotion is purely due to luck. It is not by luck to organize and manage a large group of more than 1 people in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the brigade commander was just a little complicated. Watching one of his subordinates grow from a soldier to a brigade commander like himself, this kind of mood made the brigade commander indescribable for a while.

There is emotion, there is depression, there is loss, there is joy...

"Independent Brigade, why does this name feel weird..."

After confirming that he was promoted to brigade commander and the independent first regiment was also promoted to brigade level, Zhang Lianshun clicked his tongue, seeming a little dissatisfied with the name of his brigade.

"How about I give you a report to help the headquarters and change it to an independent regiment?"

The brigade commander cast a glance at his old subordinate with a disdainful tone.

"Hey, Brigadier, I think this name is very good"

Zhang Lianshun quickly admitted his mistake.

Brigadier... Hehe, it sounds more energetic than the regimental commander, even more powerful when fighting devils.

"What about the casualties in this battle?"

The brigade commander asked with some concern.

This time the devils swept up, the independent regiment, oh no, the independent first brigade is the key point, the devils concentrated two divisions, more than 5 people attacked the independent first brigade station, and the elite Kwantung Army attacked here, It can be said that Zhang Lianshun is under the greatest pressure in the entire Eighth Route Army, and the only brigade that is full of troops is only 1 people.

The ratio of troops between the enemy and ourselves is more than four to one.

An unprecedented battle.

For this reason, when the rest of the base areas were also under tremendous pressure, the headquarters specially sent five thousand elite veterans from three main regiments to assist the independent brigade in the battle.

"Truly Victory"

Brigadier Zhang's tone contained both heartache and excitement.

"The three regiments assisted by the headquarters consisted of 7000 people, and my own 1 people. In addition, there were more than 5000 militiamen and guerrillas participating in the battle. The cumulative number of combat troops was 4000."

"After two months of fighting, the total number of casualties on our side exceeded 7355. Excluding minor injuries and returning to the team, the final loss of commanders and fighters was [-]."

The heartache is because of the huge casualties, the loss of more than 7000 people, that is to say, more than 7000 people gave their lives for this battle. Many soldiers died with the enemy with dozens of grenades when they had no time to retreat. It is precisely because of these A warrior who is not afraid of death, otherwise the casualties of the Independent Brigade would be even more.

Afterwards, Brigadier Zhang's tone couldn't conceal his excitement.

"The enemy's casualties cannot be estimated, but they are definitely more or less"

"The devils are aggressive and they don't hide it at all. As soon as they come up, they attack from all sides. I choose to retreat into the mountains to preserve my strength and avoid confronting the enemy head-on."

"This group of Kwantung Army is very arrogant. They rushed to the mountains with a single brain, and directly attacked Niuyagu with a posture."

"The devil's charge really made me unresponsive at the beginning. The front lines of defense were insufficiently prepared and were broken by the enemy's heavy firepower. I let the main force retreat all the way to Niuya Valley, and at the same time harassed the devil's troops with artillery fire."

Head Zhang slowly narrated the battle situation. At the beginning of the war, he did not expect that the Kwantung Army was completely different from the Japanese army in North China. They ignored the mountains and forests and directly opened the way with engineers. Thanks to the large number of people, the devils even brought heavy weapons into the mountains. , and the devil's recklessness also caught him off guard. Under the opening of the heavy artillery, the first few lines of defense he arranged were instantly torn apart, and the sneak attack troops were also insufficiently prepared because of the devil's fast march.

Then he began to change his strategy and sent an artillery company to harass the devils from a long distance. The 82 mortars with a range of up to five kilometers can ensure the safety of the artillery, and the concealment of the dense forest can also avoid the devils' planes very well. The regiment is full of shells. When the devils attacked, there were as many as 82 million rounds of 200 mortar shells in stock.Moreover, Luo Yun overseas Chinese also increased the transportation of shells after the devils came to encircle and suppress them.

With the help of familiarity with the terrain, the artillery company carried out guerrilla shelling against the devils for seven consecutive days, starting every night and ending early in the morning.

The elite team conducted long-range reconnaissance to ensure the safety of the artillery company. The 82 mortars shelled at a distance of five kilometers. He rushed towards Niuya Valley at full speed, trying to pull out the independent base in one fell swoop.

However, after more than half a year of construction, Niuya Valley at this time has been operated into an iron barrel. Every commanding height is guarded by heavy soldiers. Moreover, the narrow and difficult mountain roads also restricted the heavy firepower of the devils.

Since then, the tragic battle has begun.

"The Kwantung Army deserves to be the elite devils,"

Brigadier Zhang's tone was full of surprise.

"The quality of their individual soldiers is extremely good, and only a few veterans who have come out of the snow-capped mountains and grasslands can match us"

"Fortunately, we were well-prepared and the fortifications were strong, so we finally survived."

A few understated words cannot describe the fierceness of the battle. In fact, the two sides fought repeatedly for various commanding heights, especially when the devils were under the cover of planes and had an advantage in strength, they almost occupied most of the highlands. There are several regiments supported by the headquarters stationed in the main highlands around, and the final victory is really hard to say.

"According to my estimation, more than 1 devils died in battle, otherwise I would be sorry for my [-] mortar shells."

In this battle, the independent first regiment and the three newly supported regiments formed a total of 500 mortar teams. With the proximity of Niuya Valley and the convenience of ammunition supply, more than 3000 million mortar shells were thrown at the devils.Light cannons destroyed more than [-] doors.

"So many shells were used?"

"Then do you have enough shell reserves?"

The brigade commander was a little surprised, but also a little worried.

"I don't know, I only know that there are more shells in the warehouse of Niuyagu now than before the war started."

Zhang Lianshun spread out his hands and spoke in a mean tone.

During the two-month battle, Luo Yun continued to replenish various ammunition, especially the 12.7 caliber bullets and mortar shells that consumed the most. From August to December, he obtained a total of [-] boxes, and he replaced them all with ammunition. .

"But after this battle, hey, now our regiment, but our brigade's combat effectiveness is far better than before"

Actual combat is the best training. After several months, tens of millions of bullets, and millions of shells, there are so many elite shooters and elite gunners in the Independent First Brigade.

"Casualty statistics come out"

The voice of the statistical officer made the hearts of the two division commanders jump up instantly. They were the two divisions of the Eighth Route Army that had gone to attack the surrounding Wanping County. This time the battle was a nightmare for the two of them. The large-caliber machine guns used by the soldiers, as well as the enemy's dense grenades that were like throwing stones in the battle for the commanding heights, left a strong shadow on the two of them.

"A total of 9000 people were killed in battle, and 1000 people were on hand"

The voice of the statistics officer nearly brought the pair into cardiac arrest.

9000 people were killed in battle, which means that the two men almost lost an entire division in this attack, and more than 1 people were injured. It is certain that the position of the two men will not be guaranteed.

But what can be done?
After knowing that there was a large ammunition depot in Niuya Valley, which contained tens of thousands of tons of ammunition, the general ordered the two to launch an attack to destroy the ammunition depot at any cost, and the base camp also agreed.

The capture of a small stronghold by two majestic Kwantung Army main divisions was not easy, everyone thought so.

But the enemy's artillery fire was beyond their expectations, and beyond everyone's expectations.

As the group of old stubborn people in the base camp said, the mortars are really not good, they are not very powerful, and their accuracy is poor. They are inferior to infantry artillery in all aspects. One infantry artillery can suppress several mortars.

But I can't stand other people's mortars, and I can't stand other people's shells!
Moreover, the area of ​​Niuya Valley is full of mountains, which is very suitable for the use of curved artillery such as mortars.

　The application is over, and I will continue to write in the future, emmm, self-healing...By the way, practice writing...
