"How can I see it? How can I see it?" Ding Wei thought to himself.
Under the command of that officer who was only at the level of a regiment leader, even the most wolf-like warrior would turn into a sick cat.
When an order is given to move the machine gun at a certain position five meters to the left, no one will be able to get away with it.
Having said that, Ding Wei still answered honestly: "Brigadier Commander, since the Japs have decided to start from Zhongtiao Mountain, they will never just send one or two divisions there to deal with the problem.
The brigade commander nodded and expressed his approval: "I think so too. The battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was definitely a fierce battle."
"However, the Japanese are fighting with us now, and they are too weak to be distracted by other things." Ding Wei said.
"At least, the little devil doesn't have much energy to do this before this battle is over."
The brigade commander nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. For us, we still have a lot of time to prepare for this matter."
After a pause, the brigade commander continued: "Ding Wei, don't waste any more time now. This information is very important and may even affect the battle situation in Shanxi. I will report it to the division headquarters first."
"Yes!" Ding Wei nodded heavily and said, "Brigadier, don't worry, just leave this place to me. I will keep an eye on the little devil's movements at all times."
"With you here, I feel relieved." The brigade commander said, "Qiu Chan..."
"Brigadier, during this period of time, I will be training here in the 28th Regiment." As soon as the brigade commander opened his mouth, Qiu Chan knew what the brigade commander wanted to say, and Qiu Chan spoke first.
"Hmm..." The brigade commander pondered for a while and said: "Okay, you can train in the 28th Regiment during this period. As for your future work arrangements, we will make plans when you have finished training."
With that said, the brigade commander looked at Ding Wei and said, "Ding Wei, I'll leave Qiuchan to you. You have to take good care of her during this period."
"Don't worry, brigade commander, I will definitely take good care of Qiu Chan!" Ding Wei stood up and saluted.
Qiu Chan thought for a while and then said: "Brigadier, there is no need to make any further arrangements. I already have where I want to go."
The brigade commander was confused and asked: "Where do you want to go?"
"Regiment 28, I think this place is good. Brigadier, why don't you arrange me here." Qiu Chan said with a smile.
The brigade commander was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qiu Chan to want to stay in the 28th Regiment.
Ding Wei also didn't expect that Qiu Chan would suddenly make such a request.
"I will consider your request." The brigade commander said solemnly: "You can rest here. When the order comes down about you, I will naturally determine your whereabouts."
The fact that the Japanese army was preparing to attack Zhongtiao Mountain was very important, so the brigade commander quickly left the 28th Regiment without saying much.
Seeing the brigade commander leaving, Ding Wei asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly want to stay here?"
Qiu Chan smiled and said: "Of course I'm curious and want to stay here to get to know you better."
Ding Wei asked: "Have you heard of our 28th Regiment?"
Qiu Chan smiled and said: "Of course, when I was in charge of telegrams within the Japanese army, I often saw telegrams about the 28th Regiment.
The 28th Regiment is now a thorn in the side of the Japanese troops, and none of them wants to destroy your 28th Regiment."
Ding Wei was not surprised about this. After all, they had defeated three Japanese regiments before, plus the attacks of two puppet armies.
My name as Ding Wanwan is not for nothing.
However, it is estimated that after this battle, my name, Ding Million, will almost have to change again.
"Don't talk about this yet, what's your name? I can't keep calling you by your code name, right?" Ding Wei asked.
When he heard Qiu Chan's name, Ding Wei subconsciously thought that Qiu Chan was just a code name. After all, when working behind enemy lines, you must have your own action code name.
"My name is Qiu Chan." Qiu Chan said with a smile, "Qiu Chan is my Chinese name and my operational code name."
Qiu Chan's answer made Ding Wei unexpected. This was the first time he had met someone who used his own name as an operational code name.
"Why, is it weird?" Qiu Chan explained with a smile: "Cicada, I have been living underground since I was born. My name just fits the nature of my work."
Ding Wei suddenly realized and praised: "What a good name. From the first day you entered the Japanese army, you have actually told them that you are an underground worker."
"That's right!" Qiu Chan said with a smile: "It's a pity that the little devil has a missing bone in his head and they didn't notice it themselves."
After a pause, Qiu Chan said again: "Don't talk about me, talk about you. I have also heard of the 28th Group. This group..."
Although Qiu Chan didn't say it clearly, Ding Wei also knew what she meant.
"Want to hear a story?" Ding Wei asked with a smile.
Qiu Chan nodded simply: "Of course, since I have met the famous leader of the 28th Regiment, I naturally want to hear the story of the 28th Regiment."
Ding Wei didn't hide anything and said generously: "Okay, since you want to hear the story, I will tell it to you."
Qiu Chan has a very delicate appearance. Such a beautiful little girl looks at him with admiring eyes. Of course Ding Wei is very happy to tell stories.
Ding Wei generously told Qiu Chan the story of when he first joined the 28th Regiment: "I think when I first came to the 28th Regiment, the entire 28th Regiment didn't have half a gun per person.
But I have nothing to be afraid of. After all, we are also the leader of a group. How can we be knocked down by this difficulty..."
Ding Wei began to tell the story of when he first joined the 28th Regiment.
Qiu Chan looked at Ding Wei with admiration, her emotions jumping back and forth along with Ding Wei's ups and downs story.
When she heard that Ding Wei planned to ambush the Japanese prince, Qiu Chan's emotions were lifted, as if she was immersed in the scene.
Qiu Chan naturally had a deep memory about the Japs Prince. At that time, the entire department was in chaos, and the department chief personally ordered that all information about the commander of the 28th Regiment must be obtained.
The result...
In the end it was nothing.
"What's down there? What's more, how did you come to Shanxi from Hebei?" Qiu Chan asked curiously.
Ding Wei smiled mysteriously: "This is the next story."
"Speak quickly, speak quickly, what's the point?" Qiu Chan urged.
"That's it for now. I'll continue the story when I have time." Ding Wei said with a smile.
Just when Qiu Chan heard the news, she suddenly heard that Ding Wei was about to end the topic, and she became anxious at that time.
"Hey, I was excited when you heard it, why didn't you say anything?" Qiu Chan said excitedly.
"Why are you so anxious? You will stay in the 28th Regiment from now on. Are you afraid that you won't be able to hear stories in the future?" Ding Wei said with a smile.
"I am the leader of a group. How can I keep telling stories with you? There are still a lot of things in the group that I need to deal with."
"Okay, then when you have time, you must remember to continue telling me about the 28th Regiment." Qiu Chan said.
"Yeah!" Ding Wei nodded and said, "No problem, I promise you."
With that said, Ding Wei walked out quickly.
And Ding Wei also felt for the first time that talking to little girls was more tiring than fighting with the devil.
After leaving Qiu Chan's residence, Ding Wei immediately held a regimental meeting to summarize and tally the gains from this battle.
There are also how to rescue the group of prisoners of war next, and how to deal with the traitor Hu Jinbiao.
Although he successfully stopped the Japanese attack, there were still more things waiting for him.
The current base of the 28th Regiment has been exposed. Maybe the little devils will come to harass them from time to time when they are free. This is all a matter.
In the league headquarters meeting room.
1, 2, 3, the independent battalion, the five commanders of the artillery battalion, the machine gun company commander Sun Yuanzhan, the independent cavalry brigade Sun Desheng, and Ma San were already sitting around the table.
Seeing Ding Wei walking in, everyone stood up and saluted.
Ding Wei waved his hand and said casually: "Let's stop playing around with each other and talk about the casualties of each department and what we have gained this time."
All the cadres stood up one after another to report.
According to statistics, after the battle, a total of 1,235 people from the 28th Regiment died, 50 were slightly injured, and 15 were seriously injured. The remaining number of the 28th Regiment currently totals 3,785.
The loss of firearms is also very serious.
Thirty light and heavy machine guns were declared scrapped, including 513 38-guns. The firing pins of 10 grenade tubes were severely worn and could only be scrapped.
There are also two mortars among them.
This cannot be blamed on anyone else. After all, the artillery battalions made great contributions in successive battles, and the losses were naturally very high.
Even though they had previously seized a batch of replacement parts, the parts had long been used up.
But these losses are all within Ding Wei's acceptance range.
After all, the enemy in front of them is not just one or two people, but thousands of enemies.
Moreover, when the enemies were brought in to fight, many enemies discovered the traces of the soldiers and knew how to throw grenades into the holes and shoot.
But this does not change the fact that the 28th Regiment achieved the final victory. It not only achieved a simple victory, but also caused heavy damage to the enemy.
When cleaning the battlefield after the war, the 28th Regiment judged from the corpses of the Japanese on the ground that they had annihilated at least 3,000 enemies in the two days of fighting.
Their estimate was too conservative. The 28th Regiment wiped out far more than 3,000 enemies in this battle.
When burying the corpses of the Japanese, the large pits dug were filled to the brim, and the corpses were laid out in countless layers.
What is certain is that by next spring, the crops in this area will be very lush.
This can be considered as atonement for these devils who have done evil in China.
In this battle, due to the large-scale artillery bombardment of the 28th Regiment Artillery Battalion, most of the weapons and equipment, especially the infantry guns and howitzers, were almost turned into scrap metal.
When the battlefield was cleaned after the war, only two mortars were confiscated.
In addition, there are 1,500 38 guns, 40,000 rounds of ammunition, 6 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, and a total of 20,000 rounds of light and heavy machine gun bullets. This can be regarded as making up for the battle losses of the 28th regiment.
After the battle, the number of people in each battalion of the 28th Regiment was relatively reduced. Ding Wei also saw this and was anxious in his heart.
Ding Wei, who is accustomed to living a wealthy life, would definitely not be able to accept the reduction in the number of troops.
Regarding Ding Wei's point of view, the other battalion commanders nodded in agreement. At the same time, Ding Wei did not waste any nonsense and directly proposed to rescue those prisoners of war.
Prisoners of war…
The cadres of the 28th Regiment were a little confused.
Ding Wei briefly explained what happened to Hu Jinbiao.
The little devils were also very smart. They were also worried that someone would distract these prisoners of war. They were also worried that if all the prisoners of war were gathered together, they would cause trouble.
Therefore, they were deliberately divided into pieces, which also created a big problem for the 28th Regiment's rescue operation.
"Captain, they have all been separated, which is not good for us." Zhang Long thought for a moment and said.
"That's right, Commander, each prisoner of war camp is far away from each other. If we go there, we can only separate all 28 regiments." Lu Fang said.
"If we all go out, the defense of Zhoujiacun will be very weak. If the Japanese take advantage of this opportunity to attack us, it will be very detrimental to us." Zhao Hu said.
"What are you so afraid of, commander? This matter will be left to my cavalry brigade." Sun Desheng shouted at the top of his lungs.
During the previous wars, he had never had the pleasure of fighting. Although he was fighting Japanese invaders, he was really doing the job of herding sheep.
After driving the fleeing Japanese in the direction of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, there was nothing left to do with him. Sun Desheng had long been looking for an opportunity to beat the Japanese again.
"What's the fuss about? You cavalry are the only ones who know how to fight." Shen Quan said, "Don't think you're great just because you're riding a horse. We infantry are not afraid of this."
"Hmph!" Sun Desheng snorted coldly: "In my cavalry brigade, even if he dismounts, he is still a cavalry and can run faster than your infantry."
Upon hearing this, the other four infantry battalion commanders became unhappy and looked at Sun Desheng, as if they wanted to eat people.
"Stop arguing. Are you still worried that there won't be a fight?" Ding Wei said coldly.
As soon as Ding Wei spoke, these guys immediately became honest and lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"In this operation to rescue prisoners of war and protect the base area, none of you can escape." Ding Wei said solemnly.
"My goal is simple, to rescue all these prisoners of war. They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. It would be a pity if they died in a prisoner of war camp."
"Rescue together?" Zhang Long was a little confused.
"That's right, after we determine the firepower configuration of those prisoner-of-war camps, we will launch an attack on these prisoner-of-war camps at the same time." Ding Wei said with a smile.
"In this way, the little Japanese will not be wary because other prisoner of war camps are attacked, which will hinder our subsequent battle.
In addition, there is that bastard Hu Jinbiao, this son of a bitch, for his own selfish gain, gave the entire regiment of soldiers to the little devil, we must not let him go easily!"
Ding Wei had other plans in mind regarding Hu Jinbiao. This idiot sold so many soldiers, and those soldiers must hate him to the core.
If Hu Jinbiao is handed over to those veterans, he can maximize their favor.
"Yes!" the infantry battalion commanders responded one after another.
"The first priority of your infantry battalion now is to train quickly and prepare for the arrival of the mission."
"yes!"
With that said, Ding Wei looked at Wang Chengzhu, and Sun Yuanzhan said: "You two continue to stay at home. After all, it is not convenient for you to carry your equipment."
Wang Chengzhu and Sun Yuanzhan had no objections.
Wang Chengzhu wanted to go, but when his round of shells hit him, not to mention the Japanese, even the prisoners of war would have to be buried together.
"Captain, what about me? What should I do?" Sun Desheng asked excitedly.
Seeing that several infantry battalions had been assigned tasks, Sun Desheng was also full of expectations. Even if his cavalry could not defeat the main attack, he could still provide reinforcements, right?
"You?" Ding Wei looked at Sun Desheng with a smile and said, "You and I have our own arrangements."
It is impossible to change the outcome of Zhongtiao Mountain's tragic defeat with just the strength of a 28th regiment.
