Chapter 254 Embroidered Pillow Takeshita Detachment

The night was dark, and the November night was chilly.

Starting at ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun began to go to each camp to make detailed arrangements.

The infantry companies under each battalion determine where to attack and how to defend.

Wherever the heavy machine guns of the machine gun company are deployed to fire, mortars launch bombardments.

Chen Ziyun made detailed arrangements for a series of issues regarding where the artillery battalion would focus on shelling.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, even the little Japanese officers probably did not understand their deployment situation as well as Chen Ziyun.

The reason is very simple, Chen Ziyun has enabled the right to use drones!

After the last battle in Xin County, Chen Ziyun completed the system's task of holding on to the county seat of Xin County.

The system gave a series of awards, including the right to use drones three times.

As for the system-rewarded skill of discerning beads, Chen Ziyun has already used it.

During the breakout process, the small island detachment continued to be attacked, and its casualties and losses continued to increase.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we have just received a message from the garrison at Gujiao."

"Your Excellency, detachment leader, we...we seem to have Jinsui Army intelligence personnel here."

A captain came to Takeshita Ryuzo in a panic, and he hurriedly reported.

As the artillery units conducted extended shelling, the three infantry battalions began to attack from different positions.

Here in Lijiapo, Brigadier Chen commanded the New 1st Regiment and other troops to continue their fierce attack, and launched a series of fierce attacks on Yamazaki Jihei's troops.

Kojima Nobuhiro hurriedly arranged his troops to break out, but soon after they left the high ground, the cavalry battalion quickly launched an attack on them.

This alternate advance suppressed the attack of the cavalry battalion.

After all, the small island detachment has more heavy weapons, so if the main force of the 358th regiment goes to encircle and annihilate them.

At this time, the Little Japanese Air Force locked on the main force of the 358th Regiment with all its strength and launched a carpet bombing on it in an attempt to block its advance towards Gujiao.

The little devils were completely dumbfounded. They didn't react at all, and machine guns were knocked out one after another.

At nine o'clock in the morning, bombers arrived over the battlefield one after another.

By six o'clock in the morning, more than a thousand people from the Takeshita detachment rushed to the Gujiao area.

Both sides suffered casualties, but neither side had much to do against the other.

"This unit only has a few dozen people, but it is well-equipped with weapons and equipment and has very strong combat effectiveness. The defenders in the Gujiao area are no match for them."

The only regret is that the drone usage rights provided by the system are time limited.

Chen Ziyun learned about the defense deployment of the Takeshita detachment in detail through the drone and defeated it instantly.

The aviation units that originally supported the operation were now massed to attack the 358th Regiment, so there were no Japanese aviation units present on these two battlefields for the time being.

Zhang Wu's cavalry battalion attacked them all the way.

This unit has almost no ability to continue fighting.

He selected relevant officers and soldiers with hidden talents and directly added them to the field artillery battalion, artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, and guard company troops.

Troops from both sides engaged in fierce fighting, with casualties on both sides.

When the front echelon has advanced a certain distance, set up artillery positions on the spot to cover the rear echelon's follow-up.

On the contrary, the small island detachment does not have many troops, but they are all elites drawn from various departments. They have a tenacious fighting will.

Many heavy weapons were either destroyed on the spot or temporarily unusable.

Even though Chen Ziyun can now be said to be one person below ten thousand people in the 48th Independent Brigade, he has never given up on the idea of ​​cultivating his own team.

After the little Japanese troops received the order to retreat, they fled towards Gujiao at all costs.

Chen Ziyun ignored the Xiaodao detachment.

"Retreat, abandon the position and quickly move towards the Gujiao area."

"We were under intensive shelling, and all units suffered heavy losses. The cavalry troops lost their horses, and the armored troops' vehicles were seriously damaged."

The island detachment found that the 358th Regiment was stubbornly blocking the attack, and they once again retreated to the high ground for defense.

Takeshita Ryuzo quickly gathered the troops and saw that the attached heavy weapons were either destroyed or discarded.

As for the 16 independent brigades, they need to bear the defense of central and southern Shanxi at this time, and they cannot deploy too many troops.

Chen Ziyun discovered that the Japs did not stay where they were, but evacuated the battlefield directly.

Takeshita Ryuzo decisively issued the order, and he began to direct the troops to quickly evacuate the battlefield.

Although the Takeshita detachment has a lot of troops, their overall strength is not very strong.

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to know in detail our defense deployment."

He had just arrived in the First Army, and he was an intelligence staff officer, so he didn't understand the situation at all.

"Otherwise, our military headquarters may be in danger. After these reinforcements are withdrawn, they will immediately launch an attack to the west."

The deployment of such a number of troops is already the limit. If these three divisions are deployed again, something may happen.

Soon the cavalry battalion began to adopt mobile warfare. They relied on the mobility of the cavalry to attack the Japanese troops one after another.

"Bagaya Road, a regiment of troops can actually pose a direct threat to our military headquarters."

Here in Yangcun, Yanage Shigeharu, commander of the Third Independent Mixed Brigade, commanded the Japanese and puppet troops to launch another fierce attack.

"Hold the position, no matter what, we must hold the position."

"Bagayalu, how could there be intelligence personnel from the Shanxi-Sui Army in our army?"

Military Chief of Staff Hua Gu was frowning, with an unhappy expression on his face and speaking in a cold tone.

Chu Yunfei commanded the 12th Reserve Regiment and other troops and relied on their positions to defend tenaciously.

However, Takeshita Ryuzo was lucky. He left the detachment headquarters to inspect the deployment of troop posts and escaped disaster.

At half past eight, Chen Ziyun deployed four battalions to protect the flanks of the main force of the regiment, while the main force of the regiment advanced all the way towards Gujiao.

However, considering all aspects of the situation, Chen Ziyun did not dispatch troops to encircle and annihilate the small island detachment.

"The first section of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army advanced to Gujiao. They quickly penetrated and now this unit has entered the city to fight."

After Koshiki Toranosuke came to the headquarters, he saw Yoshio Shinozuka and Masa Hanatani, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

Apart from anything else, they only have three divisions, and these three divisions all need to be deployed in southern Shanxi to deal with the Zhongtiao Mountain defense forces.

At seven o'clock, the Kojima detachment made another breakthrough.

"Save the combatants and leave the battlefield quickly..."

Especially now that they have completely lost their material supplies, eating will be a problem.

Takeshita Ryuzo's detachment headquarters was also bombarded, and many personnel inside were killed on the spot.

It was just the intensive shelling by the artillery battalion that had disrupted the defensive deployment of the Japanese Takeshita detachment.

"Based on the current situation, as long as the main force of the 358th regiment advances to Gujiao, Gujiao will definitely be lost."

At this time, whether it was the Lijiapo battlefield or the Yangcun battlefield, fierce fighting continued.

It was only at eight o'clock in the morning that Chen Ziyun got the news.

If they go to fight the small island detachment, they will definitely be pinned down, and they will not be able to pose a threat from too far away.

However, Chen Ziyun had already taken precautions against this. When the Little Japanese Air Force arrived over the battlefield, the troops dispersed and hid.

"Don't be obsessed with fighting. Move immediately and get out of the attack range of the Jinsui Army."

The little Japanese troops had to discard some of their sidearms to ensure that they could escape from the battlefield faster.

Kojima Nobuhiro already knew the news that the Takeshita detachment had been defeated, and he also knew that if they did not break out now, what awaited them would be the complete annihilation of the entire army.

However, as soon as these troops left the high ground, they were stubbornly blocked by the fourth battalion.

By one o'clock in the morning on November 7, the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion, and the Seventh Battalion carried out Chen Ziyun's order.

Maybe Li Yunlong's new regiment fighting in Lijiapo will be completely annihilated.

Each firepower point deployed by the Japanese army was bombarded one after another.

"Quickly contact the front army headquarters, and the troops supporting the Lijiapo operation need to be withdrawn quickly."

"In addition, quickly contact the small island detachment. Now the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army is attacking our troops with all their strength. They have a chance to break out."

However, this force of more than 1,000 people discarded a lot of weapons and equipment, and they only had some rifles and light machine guns.

The artillery battalion troops moved forward at the same time and began to support the fourth battalion in the operation.

But the shock wave still caused some damage to him. At this time, Takeshita Ryuzo's forehead was bleeding continuously.

He knew that these more than a thousand troops had completely lost their will to fight.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The staff officer on the side immediately agreed.
To be continued...
