Chapter 63 Promoted to Deputy Battalion Commander
The battle between the 68th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army and the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army lasted for almost a day.
The casualties on both sides were quite tragic.
In particular, the casualties of the Sichuan army, which had inferior weapons and equipment, were twice as many as those of the Japanese army.
But even so, the Sichuan troops still did not retreat at all and continued to fight to the end.
Until the Japanese 68th Infantry Regiment was completely defeated,
After temporarily repelling the 68th Infantry Regiment, the entire Sichuan Army of the 133rd Division was seriously injured.
Although there is still combat capability, the casualties are heavy.
For his troops to suffer so many casualties,
Yang Hanyu, the commander of the 133rd Division, had a sad face.
These are his elite troops!
It's strange that he doesn't feel bad for being beaten like this.
Military commander Yang Sen, who was in a similar mood to him, didn't know what to say for a while.
"The next battle may be even more deadly! Although we have defeated the 68th Japanese Infantry Regiment, there are a large number of Japanese reinforcements behind them, waiting to attack!"
"So you have to be mentally prepared. We may incur more casualties in the future!"
In the headquarters of the 133rd Division, Sergeant Yang Sen was in a irritable mood. While thinking about something, he said to the commander of the 133rd Division, Yang Hanyu.
"I understand, Military Seat!"
"Even if the entire army is destroyed, I will continue to hold on here. I will never lose the face of our Sichuan Army!"
"And kill the Japanese and protect our country! This is the original purpose of our war in Sichuan!"
Regarding the words of the military officer Yang Sen, he was worried about the excessive casualties of his troops, and the commander of the 133rd Division Yang Hanyu also restrained his heartache and quickly responded to Yang Sen.
"I will find a way to dispatch some troops from the 135th Division to support you in the battle, and other national army troops will also dispatch some!"
"Because the Japanese reinforcements are already ready to move, I'm worried that they will continue to attack again soon. By then, we may have to fight another bloody battle. As for how long we can hold on here, we don't know!"
"Too many Japanese troops are coming!"
After hearing this, the military commander Yang Sen was very satisfied with the division commander Yang Hanyu's reply that he was not afraid of death, so he also encouraged the opponent's morale.
"Thank you, military seat!"
The division commander Yang Hanyu quickly thanked him.
Now he really needs reinforcements to support the battle.
Although the troops under his command were able to defeat two Japanese regiments in succession, the casualties of his troops increased sharply, and they were unable to cope with the subsequent large-scale Japanese attack.
Especially when the division commander Yang Hanyu defeated the 68th Infantry Regiment, he saw with his own eyes that the Japanese 18th Infantry Regiment and the Japanese 3rd Cavalry Regiment were watching eagerly and could go into battle anytime and anywhere.
Moreover, according to the reconnaissance of his reconnaissance unit, it was also discovered that the 2nd Regiment of the Japanese Field Heavy Artillery had locked the location of Chenjiaxing where they were located, and could also launch artillery bombing operations at any time.
That's a heavy artillery group,
The division commander Yang Hanyu was well aware of the lethality of the heavy artillery bombardment, and he had also seen the on-site effects of the Japanese heavy artillery bombing several times during combat, and how terrifying it was.
It was simply a killing weapon that harvested human lives.
Moreover, many of the officers and soldiers under his command were blown up by these heavy artillery groups and became cannon fodder.
So now he really wants to have reinforcements to support his troops in combat.
In particular, it is best to have the support of artillery units for counterattack operations.
It would be even better if the operation was supported by a heavy artillery group.
It's a pity that my family knows their own affairs. Their 20th Army Group has no artillery at all because it is too poor.
Being able to have light and heavy machine guns for combat is already very good.
It is also because of these reasons that when I hear my military commander say that I will find a way to bring him reinforcements to support the operation,
It would be strange if he was not happy and grateful.
Seeing the division commander Yang Hanyu who was in a better mood, Commander Yang Sen decisively made a call to the 135th Division and seconded troops.
At the same time, he also called the Military Commission and asked for reinforcements.
In addition to asking for support, he also asked the Central Military Commission to mobilize an artillery group to assist in the operation to counter the enemy's heavy artillery group's bombardment operations at any time.
Yang Hanzhong, the commander of the 135th Division, implemented the combat orders given by the military commander Yang Sen.
So soon, he began to mobilize troops from his own defense line.
As for the Military Commission's request and suggestions for the support operations of Yang Sen's artillery group, there is no follow-up. They are just wrangling and kicking the ball.
Faced with these irritating reactions from the Military Commission, Yang Sen immediately became angry.
"I'm going to see the theater commander. I have to get artillery support for the operation. Otherwise, if our troops are covered by the Japanese army's ferocious artillery fire, the number of casualties will definitely double!"
"This result is not what I want!"
“So I’ll leave the battlefield command and operations here to you for the time being!”
"But don't worry, I will be there soon! Wait for my good news!"
"I can definitely convince them to dispatch artillery groups to give us certain support operations. Even if there are only one or two artillery groups to support operations, we can reduce the number of casualties!"
So after getting angry, Military Commander Yang Sen immediately issued combat instructions to the division commander Yang Hanyu.
"Do not worry!"
"I will never let you down. I will command the troops well and continue to fight against these stupid Japanese troops!"
"The position is here and the people are here!"
"If the position is lost, people will die!"
Hearing this, the division commander Yang Hanyu also quickly issued a military order in response.
Because at this time, he had actually started fighting the fire of hatred with those menacing Japanese troops.
Therefore, he also made up his mind. Without the retreat order from the Military Council and the Military Commission, he would lead his troops to fight to the end.
Even if the whole army is destroyed here, it will not be hesitated.
They agreed to kill the Japanese, protect their country, and avenge the Sichuan soldiers who died in battle.
"good!"
"Chen Jiaxing relies on you to give me some support. I will be back as soon as possible!"
The military commander Yang Sen nodded with great satisfaction and praised the division commander Yang Hanyu.
The division commander Yang Hanyu also nodded quickly to show his understanding.
Then, the division commander Yang Hanyu also personally escorted Yang Sen to the car, and under the protection of the car team driven by the guard, left to find support from the artillery unit.
Although there are only three cars, it is still better than walking.
Looking at the military commander Yang Sen who has gone away,
Division Commander Yang Hanyu also quickly continued to deal with his troops to meet the next wave of Japanese counterattacks.
At the same time, he also received news that He Feiyang's troops used the Type 92 heavy machine gun group to shoot down two Type 96 fighter jets flying at low altitudes.
"Hey! This He Feiyang has some tricks up his sleeve!"
"Okay! If that's the case, I'll make you a deputy battalion commander right away! Anyway, a lot of officers were killed in the battle just now, so let him temporarily go to the 2nd Battalion of the 793rd Regiment as the deputy battalion commander.
Well, I will temporarily take charge of the entire Second Battalion, because I haven’t decided on the candidate for the battalion commander yet!”
After seeing such great news, the division commander Yang Hanyu immediately made the decision without thinking.
In fact, when He Feiyang was promoted to deputy battalion commander, he had already discussed it with Military Commander Yang Sen and had already given notice.
It's just that it hasn't been decided which battalion he will be the deputy battalion commander of.
So now he will definitely dispatch He Feiyang to the Second Battalion as the deputy battalion commander, and directly take over the entire Second Battalion to take charge of the operations.
This is a great favor to He Feiyang.
Because it is really not easy to get promoted in their 20th Group Army. It is a little different from the situation of buying official positions in other units, that is, you must be a direct descendant of their senior management, or a close confidant.
job space,
Otherwise, even those who are capable may not be promoted.
Even if you are promoted, there is no way to continue to climb to a high position.
