Chapter 392: The 3rd Brigade's raid

Two crazy people often only do even more crazy things together.

Perhaps their commander-in-chief Zheng Yong had known that these two people had a result, so he specially arranged the two people together.

One is that he has strong military talents, but he is always idle, as if he is a tiger locked in a cage. Once he is out of the cage, there are only two outcomes. One is that he is smoothed out in wildness, and the other is that he is crazy about trying to stretch out his sharp minions.

There is another thing that is difficult to understand. He failed to go to the Baoding Army University but was expelled by the school and climbed to the position of the regiment with his own abilities.

The Third Brigade of the Guard Division had more than 6,000 troops, with strong firepower and ammunition. The officers and soldiers of the entire brigade were well trained, and most of them were composed of veterans as the backbone. It was said that even the most elite German and equipment divisions in their heyday could not reach their level.

The officers and soldiers at this division all have a common problem, which is a bit crazy and arrogant, and has always compared themselves to the first elite division in the third war zone. In addition, this unit is indeed well-equipped, so many people call this division half sincerely and half ironically.

"The No. 1 Division in the World!"

After formulating a plan to raid Fenggu County, six thousand officers and soldiers set off overnight and rushed to Fenggu County.

Either the third brigade was lucky, or the island army was attracted to the front battlefield. For two days, this unit that had penetrated into the heart of the island army was never discovered by the island army.

The most famous "Three Brigade Raid War" in the Third War Zone began to take place.

After advancing to the Shangjiaao area, which was more than 60 miles away from Fenggu County, the Third Brigade suddenly encountered the 12th Regiment of the 11th Infantry Brigade, the whereabouts of the Third Brigade were finally discovered by the island army.

"Blow him!"

This is an order issued by Fang Yuxi and Zhou Shuixuan at the same time.

A small fish swimming between the Chinese army and the island army in the Third War Zone began to stir up huge waves that no one could have imagined...

Without any stance, the Third Brigade launched a fierce attack on the 12th Regiment, which was just as unprepared as the opponent, with the strength of the entire brigade.

The 12th Regiment was completely stunned. Where did the Chinese army appear?

When the Chinese army launched the charge, the holster of the heavy machine gun had not even faded.

The Chinese soldiers rushed up with bayonets and screamed, all over the mountains and fields, and they looked like they were charged soldiers.

According to the commander of the 12th Infantry Regiment, the Chinese soldiers were indiscriminate in fighting, so they would go wherever there were more soldiers in the Empire...

"The 12th Regiment has done its best. At that time, we were just passing by Shangjiaao. When we saw an army appearing in front of us, I always thought that they were all imperial troops and just passed by here.

The entire corps responded without any preparation. When the machine gun was set up, the Chinese soldiers had already rushed to us.

From the perspective of a professional soldier, the Chinese soldiers were fighting around. Wherever there were dense imperial soldiers, they would rush to wherever they were...

But I have to admit that this style of play has a very serious impact on the morale of both sides. I see that my brave and warlike subordinates actually showed the panic that they would never have in previous battles.

After half an hour, the situation was no longer controlled, and I had to be forced to issue an order to retreat. If I had to find an excuse for this failure, then in addition to our lack of preparation, there was also the number of them far exceeding us, and they were not inferior to ours in equipment…”

This is Matsuyama Bai Le’s review afterwards.

But the battle did not end with the retreat of the twelfth Regiment.

The Third Brigade clearly showed his character, and thousands of people followed the 12th Regiment and chased them all the way.

Madman, all of these people are madmen. Matsuyama is so white that it is difficult to understand their thoughts. The garrison of the Forty-third Regiment of the Empire is ahead. Do they want to be surrounded by the Imperial Army and die here?

But soon Songshan turned white and found out that it was actually himself who was wrong.

The retreat of the 12th Regiment affected the defense of the 43rd Regiment. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Zhongdao Kingdom were mixed together and could not be distinguished at all.

When the island army plane flew over the battlefield, they didn't know where the bomb should be dropped.

During the entire half of the melee, both sides suffered casualties. When the island army gradually gathered its formation and was about to encircle the Third Brigade, the Third Brigade evacuated the battlefield without any hesitation and quickly retreated to the southwest defense line.

A Chinese army of thousands of people actually broke into the "rear" of the island army, which instantly caused an uproar.

At the same time, the Chinese troops in the third war zones responsible for the attack on the Eastern Front also launched attacks one after another. The entire third war zone was disrupted by the sudden appearance of these troops.

The problem on the Eastern Front can be solved. If it is close to the front battlefield, it can quickly mobilize troops to enhance defense, but the Western Front seems a bit troublesome.

It is far away from the front battlefield. Once troops are mobilized, unless these Chinese troops break in in a short period of time are annihilated, the front battlefield forces will be greatly weakened.

And how many Chinese troops have arrived? How many thousand or tens of thousands?

No one gave the commander of the Island Army this answer, and the commander of the Island Army no longer had time to think about and judge, because that night, the Third Brigade once again raided Pingyuan County. After successfully capturing the county town, it burned all the military rations that the Island Army had hoarded there.

"It is necessary to find out how many Chinese troops have entered in the shortest time and eliminate them in the shortest time!"

This is an order issued by the Island Army Command to the 11th Division.

Lieutenant General Shan Baozongwu, the commander of the 11th Division, had never fought such an inexplicable battle. Now, let alone the headquarters, even he had no idea what was going on in his jurisdiction, how many Chinese troops had come in.

He only knew that since the encounter between the 12th Regiment and the Chinese army, all parts of the jurisdiction had been attacked.

For two consecutive days, after Pingyuan County, Gui Te, Maoyuan, Maiwei and other counties were attacked by the Chinese army. Under the strong attack of these bold Chinese troops, only a few island troops defended by the county towns were often captured one after another.

But these Chinese soldiers seem to have no clear combat target at all. They can fight if they can't fight, and leave if they can't fight, and there will definitely be no hesitation.

Once the county town is captured, all the military supplies stored in the island army will be burned.

To put it bluntly, this army does not look like a regular army at all. It is simply a group of bandits with no clear goals.

"Teacher Commander, two hours ago, my Fengyuan County was attacked again. A small team of imperial soldiers guarding there fought bloody battles, but in the end, he was loyal to the Emperor. All the supplies in Fengyuan County were destroyed..."

The 48th Colonel of the Chief of Staff, Tama Village, walked in with a angrily aggravated look.

"Where are the Chinese people, and what do they want to do?" Shan Bao Zongwu roared out angrily: "Encircle, encircle and annihilate, mobilize all their forces to encircle and annihilate! Be sure to cut off their heads!"

The Forty-eighth Kata Village can understand the current mood of the division commander. Since the traces of the Chinese army were discovered in the jurisdiction of the 11th Division, the empire suffered great losses in a short period of time.

Soldiers, supplies... These Chinese troops destroyed whatever they saw, but they were completely out of order. They were closer to fighting around and counting wherever they hit.

Such an army is the most troublesome.

Judging from the battle report of the 12th Regiment, this Chinese army has strong combat effectiveness and is well-equipped, but no one can guess the next step of their commander will think of where their troops will attack and what kind of inexplicable combat techniques will be used.

"Your Excellency." After calming down, Katamura Forty-eight tried his best to control his emotions.

"This Chinese army is like locusts. There is no grass growing in the place where they fly. They don't care what kind of results they want to achieve. It seems that attacking the county town and burning supplies is their only pleasure. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't win, they will run away. This really hurts us.

But I found that they were not without clues.

You see, starting from Pingyuan County, Gui Te, Maoyuan, Maiwei, and all the way to Feng Yuan, they have been harassing operations along the southwest. You are the commander of the division, have you discovered anything?"

Shan Bao Zongwu frowned and looked on the map for a while, then suddenly shouted out.

"Hibiscus forest!"

"Yes, their target is the Hibiscus Forest!" Katamura Forty-eight said loudly.

"This is our main material reserve, where there is a large amount of materials that are urgently needed on the battlefield. Once they are captured there, our army will encounter unimaginable difficulties and may even lose to this battle. And we only have the power of a corps. Once attacked, your magistrate..."

Shan Bao Zongwu quickly picked up the phone.

"Receive Major General Heiyan Yisheng from the 22nd Brigade. I ordered the 22nd Brigade to immediately reinforce Muli Lin, and at the same time ordered the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the 10th Brigade to be transferred to the Daguangchang line to closely monitor the movements of the Chinese army in the southwest. Once discovered, attack with all your strength, be sure to cooperate with the 22nd Brigade to wipe out the detachment army!"

When he put down the phone, he felt a little scared. Fortunately, the Chief of Staff discovered the Chinese people's intentions in time. Once they succeeded and the hibiscus forest fell into the hands of the Chinese people, the materials would be burned by them, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

But at this time he was also curious about the Chinese army. What kind of army was this? What kind of Chinese officers were commanding them? Why did they dare to go deeper alone like this?

He had heard of several ace divisions in China, but judging from the reports of his subordinates, this unit is no less than those ace divisions. Why did the Empire never have any information on this unit and everything about them before?

Shanbao Zongwu opened the window and it started to rain again. The annoying rain will increase the difficulty of the Imperial Army's attack and greatly delay the pace of conquering the entire China. Is it raining in his hometown at this time...
