Chapter 35

The combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army is not directly proportional to their weapons and equipment, and now they rarely fight the Japanese army.

The Eighth Route Army won successive battles in Jin Province. In the battle of Cangyunling, the new regiment became famous all over the world.

He had a head-on confrontation with a Japanese regiment, and directly killed the leader of the left alliance, Sakata Nobutetsu, to break through the encirclement!

For this reason, Yan Laoxi, who was in Kenanpo, was so angry that his face was livid. Isn't such a result a slap in the face to their Jinsui Army?

Previously, the 358th Regiment took the initiative to attack the Japanese army. Originally, Fang Ligong and others thought that they might be punished for this incident.

As a result, they turned in the Japanese weapons exchanged from the New Regiment and directly won the commendation from the upper echelons of the Jinsui Army.

Therefore, this time the Japanese and puppet troops gathered in a fierce manner. Instead of retreating as usual, they had to defend their positions and fight.

Everyone in the Jinsui Army attached great importance to this battle.

The immediate superior of the 358th Regiment, Commander-in-Chief of the 13th Group Army of the Second Theater Command Wang Jingguo, personally conducted the deployment.

Fang Ligong's call at this time was entirely because of Wang Jingguo.

The Jinsui Army was unwilling to let the New Regiment take the limelight again, so they prepared to take over the defense of the New Regiment's position.

"Captain Li, your troops have just experienced the Battle of Cangyun Ridge and suffered considerable losses. We are willing to take over and defend your regiment's positions in this battle."

"Your new regiment can retreat secretly to rest and recuperate. Our Shanxi-Sui Army will defend its position with all our strength to block the Japanese and puppet attacks."

"Captain Li should also know that without the terrain advantage of the main peak of Cangyun Ridge, it will be difficult for you to block the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops."

Fang Ligong was talking proudly on the phone, constantly telling him how good the weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army were.

He was not bragging about weapons and equipment. Even now, Yan Laoxi still had five artillery regiments.

"You should take care of your positions. Don't worry, our new regiment will never give up our positions before you."

"On your part, don't herd the sheep when you evacuate, lest you be completely annihilated by the little devils and embarrass Commander Yan."

"Chief of Staff Fang, I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you."

Li Yunlong hung up the phone directly. At this time, it was simply a dream for the Jinsui Army to ask the new regiment to abandon their position.

Thinking of Fang Ligong's words, Li Yunlong felt strong in his heart. He wanted the Jinsui Army to take a good look at what kind of army the new regiment was!

But at the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Fang Ligong muttered "I don't know what happened" when he heard Li Yunlong hang up the phone.

Similarly, everyone in the 358th Regiment also felt that the new regiment's battle in Cangyun Ridge was nothing more than a terrain advantage.

They are a reinforced group of 5,000 men, and they have everything they need, including light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars.

The most important thing is that they also have an artillery battalion with a total of twelve Jin orogenic cannons.

"The little devils regard us as weak persimmons, and many colleagues also think that we are weak persimmons."

"In this battle, the 358th Regiment will let them see if we can fight!"

Colonel Chu Yunfei, the commander of the regiment, made harsh words directly during the combat meeting.

For a time, whether it was the New Regiment or the 358th Regiment, they were actively preparing to have a good fight with the Japanese and puppet troops.

At this moment, here at the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade, Major General Hideta Nakamura, the commander of the brigade, looked terrifyingly gloomy.

The left wing captain of the Third Regiment, Yuto Hase, stood in front of him, his head lowered and his face solemn.

This time, a combat squadron of the Third Wing suffered a devastating blow, and a transport squadron was completely annihilated.

Hase Yuto was speechless. He wondered if the Second Brigade was cursed. Why were they always the unlucky ones?

At present, the replenishment of the third wing has basically been completed, and only the second brigade is lacking.

Hase Yuto made special arrangements to wait until the supply troops of the Fourth Regiment had passed safely before allowing the supply troops of the Second Regiment to take action.

But he never dreamed that the second supply group would be attacked and pay a heavy price.

"The Second Brigade will not take on any combat missions for the time being. Let them stay in the rear."

"Your regiment's First Battalion, Third Battalion, and Artillery Battalion are ready for battle."

"Mr. Hase, the military headquarters has lost trust in us. If this battle fails, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Nakamura Hideta took a deep breath, looked at Hase Yuto in front of him and said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please rest assured that the Third Regiment will never let you down in this battle."

"No matter what kind of combat mission it is, we will definitely complete it. Chu Yunfei Regiment and Li Yunlong Regiment, we will definitely annihilate them completely!"

Hase Youdu bowed hurriedly, directly expressing his attitude.

Nakamura Hideda nodded, waved his hand, and asked Hase Yuto to leave.

Immediately afterwards, he brought the brigade headquarters staff to the map.

As of now, the whereabouts of the Japanese and puppet troops have been completely exposed, and it is simply impossible for them to strike by surprise.

However, both the New Regiment and the 358th Regiment were actively preparing for war and showed signs of holding on to their positions, which made the Japanese and puppet troops overjoyed.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, this is the message just sent from the second section of the Army Headquarters."

A Japanese captain came over with a telegram and made a report.

According to Japanese military practice, all headquarters above the military level have common departments.

The first section under the headquarters is usually in charge of operations; the second section under the headquarters is usually in charge of intelligence.

The telegram sent from Section 2 of County 1 is naturally about intelligence.

The Japanese military intelligence department is very complete, and they can understand some situations in time.

The 772nd regiment is approaching the new regiment, and the Japs have already detected it.

As for the news of the secret departure of an artillery regiment attached to the Jinsui Army's cavalry corps, they also knew about it.

Even the relevant numbers of the Jinsui Army were investigated clearly.

The 2nd Cavalry Division of the Cavalry Army and the 4th Cavalry Division are attached to the 23rd Artillery Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Artillery Headquarters to secretly support the 358th Regiment in operations.

The little devils have many informants on the Jinsui Army side, and they can understand the situation of the Jinsui Army in detail.

"Xinxi, this will make it more interesting."

"Two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army, one cavalry corps, one artillery regiment, and one reinforcement regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army!"

"There is also the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army!"

"These results are enough to wash away the shame of the battle at Cangyunling, and they can definitely make me promoted!"

Nakamura Hideta picked up the baton, he hit different locations on the map, and said with an excited expression on his face.

In his eyes, these troops will soon become the victory of the Fourth Brigade.

This time, the Japanese and puppet troops dispatched more than 10,000 troops to deal with two regiments of troops. In Nakamura Hideda's view, this was a killing of chickens with a sledgehammer.

Now that these supporting troops are participating in the war, Hideta Nakamura is motivated.

Moreover, the headquarters agency was originally the target of Yamamoto's special agent team, but Hideta Nakamura also had ideas.

After all, according to Yoshio Shinozuka's plan, the Yamamoto special agent team needs to help solve the Chu Yunfei group so that the Li Yunlong group can raid the headquarters.

In this battle conducted by the First Army, Kazuki Yamamoto was the protagonist, and Yoshio Shinozuka hoped that he could shine.

As for Nakamura Hideta, he is only a supporting character. His existence is to set off Yamamoto Kazuki.
