"Captain, from the upper and lower platforms in the north to Zhangjiafen in the south, this is a pocket formation!" Deputy Commander Xiao said happily.

"Yeah, thank you to our intelligence personnel, thank you to our military industry personnel! I didn't mention it, our regiment is the main attack this time, so..." Commander Qiu let out a long voice, and several battalion commanders came over to make arrangements.

Mission accomplished.

"Second Battalion Commander, you lead the Second Battalion to set up an ambush at the Daoshen Highlands southwest of Yansu Cliff, and are responsible for blocking the enemy from the front. When the time comes, your battalion will be responsible for starting the entire battle! First Battalion Commander, you lead the First Battalion to occupy Zaoergou

In the northwest highland, divide and encircle the enemy from the flanks; the third battalion is the regiment reserve and follows the regiment headquarters. After the battle begins, it goes straight into the high ground north of Yansu Cliff to expand the results of the battle."

"I will set up the regiment command post on the northeast highland of Zaoergou, and place all the light and heavy machine guns that others cannot use on the northwest highland of Zaoergou. All troops must enter the ambush before the early morning of November 2

Position, make a good disguise!" Commander Qiu said.

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Several battalion commanders accepted the mission and left.

At the same time, the first regiment of the first division and the second regiment of the third division also carried out ambushes in other locations to assist the third regiment in the battle.

To be honest, the equipment of the Third Regiment is not the model regiment built by Minister Zhang. It cannot match the mortar firepower of the First Regiment and the Second Regiment. There is only one mortar available and only 100 rounds of artillery shells. However, the grenades of the Third Regiment

The barrel is standard, and the squad machine gun is one for each squad.

Even, in order to make up for the lack of firepower of the Third Regiment, the machine guns replaced by the First and Second Regiments were also given to the Third Regiment. What kind of civilian 2492 heavy weapons were Czech-style... The commander of the Third Regiment directly got a machine gun company.

Come out and specifically use these "light and heavy machine guns that others cannot use."

Well, the number of these guns is not large, only 30 in total. Are you kidding...

This is why Commander Yang put the Third Battalion here for the main attack: in a mountain ambush battle, there are not as many mortars as there are machine guns! One mortar is enough to take care of the entire battlefield, but it still needs to be fought.

Just infantry?

The key is that the first and second regiments have a lot of mortars. There are 16 mortars in total, which is enough. Oh, by the way, there is also the third guerrilla detachment participating in this battle.

, they are responsible for luring the enemy deeper.

The location of the First Regiment is at Sanchakou further north. The Japanese coming down from Laiyuan will enter the mountain through Baishikou, and then turn south at Sanchakou. The First Regiment, after the battle started, quickly occupied Sanchakou and blocked the way.

The second regiment, which is on the Japanese rear route, will help the third regiment fight on the flanks. This is a help.

Yansu Cliff is a cliff several hundred meters long, so it is called Yansu Cliff. There is a small village with more than a dozen households here, which is called Yansu Cliff Village. If the Eighth Route Army wants to ambush here, of course the people must

We moved away, there is nothing to say about this.

Not only the people here have moved away, but all the villages in the entire ravine and the people who can evacuate have also evacuated. Many comrades in the first military division are locals here. They are very familiar with this work group, so they say hello to the whole village.

Just transfer.

The plan has been formulated, the soldiers have been mobilized, and the large troops have marched to their positions. All that is left is to enter the position, hide and standby.

It's November now, and the weather is cold, especially since this is the location of the Inner Great Wall, and it's even more cold. Fortunately, the soldiers have a strong will and some warm items such as sheepskins, so they can persevere.

Time came to November 2 in the blink of an eye. On this night, Colonel Tsujimura Kenyoshi, captain of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, led two infantry squadrons and a mountain artillery squad, with a total of about 500 people.

The troops entered Baishikou and started a mopping up tour.

However, the little Japanese thought that their plan to march secretly at night and launch a surprise attack during the day the next day was indeed revealed to us under our surveillance.

Let’s talk about the Second Independent Mixed Brigade. This brigade was established in Peiping in February 1938. The main personnel were drawn from the Kwantung Army Independent Garrison and the active troops of the 14th Division, as well as those from the 4th Division.

Reserves serve as supplements to their ranks.

Looking at this composition, we know that the combat effectiveness of this second independent mixed brigade is still very good. After all, these soldiers are old Japanese with many years of combat experience. They have participated in many battles in North China and the Puppet Manchukuo battles.

However, as the war progressed, the strength of the Japanese troops decreased, and the base camp began to adjust the Japanese troops. The independent mixed brigades, which were not popular, became the place to recruit veterans. Well, of course the little Japanese also knew that those with rich combat experience

Veterans are too precious to be left to these inferior garrison troops.

But...this question arises. What's the problem? The Japanese supplementary force of the Second Mixed Brigade is the Fourth Division, which comes from the Osaka area. Otherwise, if our intelligence agents can do business, they can sneak into the Japanese military police.

The devils are from merchant backgrounds, and they look friendly to their colleagues.

The little devil also knew this problem. He knew that the fighting style of the new recruits in Osaka was poor, and that the new recruits had no combat experience and insufficient training. Therefore, when the troops were transferred, a total of 660 veterans were left for the Second Mixed Brigade.

The backbone. With these veterans leading the new recruits, the combat effectiveness can still be maintained.

"It's so fast..." Colonel Tsujimura was very annoyed. He set off at night, and it had already been more than 10 hours of marching. Only then did he arrive at Yansu Cliff. Calculating the distance, it was only 30 miles, and it only took one hour.

Walking 3 miles, this speed is not much faster than that of a turtle.

However, Colonel Tsujimura's heart was also full of helplessness. On the one hand, marching at night was not fast, and on the other hand, the new recruits from Osaka in the team complained of suffering and tiredness after they could not walk very far, and had to stop to rest.

.

Although the officers suppressed them and shouted the emperor's name, these recruits had no feelings for the emperor. But thinking about the performance of the 4th Division, Colonel Tsujimura thought that this was it. It would be a big honor if everyone did not fall ill.

.

Therefore, there was no chance of directly raiding Yinfang early the next morning, so we could only raid in the morning.

"It's foggy..." When the sky dawned, the morning fog rose up, and the entire valley area was filled with heavy fog. The little devils had to slow down their march.

"It's foggy, we ask for a rest!" Well, the recruits have signed up for the regiment, and the officers can't all deal with them according to military law, right? The recruits have a lot to ask for.

"Baga... Then... rest for half an hour and wait for the morning fog to clear!" Colonel Tsujimura was helpless and had to coax these new recruits to fight. Maybe after fighting a few battles, let these new recruits start fighting.

After the Chinese people and women have had bloody experiences, they will get better.

Well, that's what Colonel Tsujimura thinks.
Chapter completed!
