Chapter 983: Battle achievements delivered to your door!
The junction of Pingshan County and Jingxing County.
"Report to the battalion commander, Pingshan County is ahead. Currently, Pingshan County is the territory of the Japanese. There is a Japanese squadron and a battalion of puppet troops stationed in the county."
The first company commander of the 26th Infantry Battalion of the New Regiment reported to the battalion commander Ma Chuanshanhui:
"All the major and major traffic arteries in Pingshan County are controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops."
The 26th Infantry Battalion, the vanguard unit of the new regiment, took the train and got off at Niangziguan Station, and then marched along the path.
Intersecting from the direction of Pingshan County, there are another 9 infantry battalions, all behind.
In the other direction, there are 10 light infantry battalions intersecting.
Because there were aircrafts of the Eighth Route Army in the sky for reconnaissance, and Jingxing County was controlled by the security brigade of the Central Hebei Military Region, the troops were able to cross here from the small road.
"There is nothing to fear from the Japanese and puppet troops."
Ma Chuanshan's tone was disdainful. He was promoted to battalion commander from a company commander in the New Regiment.
He participated in almost all the New Regiment's battles to eliminate the Japanese, and almost always led troops to charge on the front line.
Being promoted to battalion commander by Li Yunlong, his tactical command ability, leading troops in battle, ideological awareness, etc. are all outstanding.
Otherwise, the staff of the new regiment would not arrange the 26th Infantry Battalion as the forward force.
The few Japanese and puppet troops in Pingshan County are not enough to fill their teeth.
"but……"
"Our task is to intersect and try not to alert the Japanese and puppet troops. The troops will rest for ten minutes and intersect according to the originally planned path."
After a pause, Ma Chuanshan said again.
"yes."
The first company commander responded in a low voice, turned around and walked towards the direction of the troops.
Ma Chuanshan stared at the map issued by his regiment commander, with a hint of wonder in his eyes.
This map is much more detailed than the captured Japanese map.
This is a detailed map around Shimen City, including several counties including Pingshan County. Every traffic artery is marked on the map, as well as the Japanese checkpoints, bunkers and gun towers, and even the Japanese defensive troops.
Very clear.
On the map, there is a thin red line extending from Niangziguan to the south of Pingshan County, and then to Zhengding and the area north of Shimen City.
This thin red line is exactly the crossing route of the troops.
These are some small roads that are not marked on the Japs' maps, so the Japs have no checkpoints or spies on this road, so they are hidden and safe.
"Boss Chen is so awesome."
Ma Chuanshan sighed and carefully collected the map.
As the battalion commander of the New Regiment, he naturally knew about the existence of the New Regiment's financial backer, Boss Chen. This map was provided by Boss Chen.
Even when he was in Yangcun and Zhaojiayu, Ma Chuanshan was lucky enough to meet Boss Chen from a distance.
Each intervening infantry battalion has two copies of such a map, one is kept by the battalion commander at the battalion headquarters, and the other is in the reconnaissance company.
The reconnaissance company is responsible for leading the way forward, reconnoitring the terrain and reporting the situation in a timely manner.
Ma Chuanshan took out the self-heating canned meat and military green kettle he had brought with him, and was preparing to replenish some energy before continuing the march.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Da da da…"
At this moment, intensive explosions and gunfire rang out a few kilometers ahead.
"what's the situation?"
Battalion Commander Ma's expression changed, and he took out the Colt pistol from his waist like a reflex.
Crash... beside Ma Chuanshan, the soldiers of the 26th Battalion stood up in unison, clenched the steel guns in their hands, and looked towards the direction where the gunfire came from.
Some soldiers looked expectantly, with firm expressions and stern eyes. Some soldiers looked nervous and held the thing in their hands tightly.
The former are elite veterans, while the latter are new recruits.
"38 big cover, Type 92 heavy machine gun, Type 96 light machine gun."
"Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, Type 56 submachine gun, Type 56 light machine gun."
"It's our reconnaissance company that got into trouble with the Japanese..."
Battalion Commander Chuan Shan, who had experienced hundreds of battles, listened carefully for a while and then judged the general situation.
How come there are ghosts here?
Could it be that the intelligence about the troop penetration was leaked?
The sound of explosions and gunfire continued. There was no time to think too much. Battalion Commander Ma immediately looked at the communications soldier: "Call the reconnaissance company immediately and ask what happened!"
"Yes!" The communications soldier immediately used a walkie-talkie to call the reconnaissance company.
After a while, a walkie-talkie was handed to Battalion Commander Ma: "Report to Battalion Commander, the reconnaissance company has been connected."
As soon as Battalion Commander Ma put the walkie-talkie to his ear, a report from the reconnaissance company commander came over the walkie-talkie:
"Report to the battalion commander that our reconnaissance company encountered a Japanese squadron. A firefight is taking place. The Japanese are not weak in combat effectiveness."
"Got it." Battalion Commander Ma said loudly, "Reconnaissance Company Commander, I order your company to hold back the Japs, and the large troops will come up immediately to eat these Japs!"
"yes!"
After the reconnaissance company commander expressed his position loudly, he immediately hung up the call.
"Pass my order. One company, two companies, and the left flank will be surrounded. Three companies and four companies will be surrounded by the right wing. The rest of the troops will press forward and eat these devils!"
Battalion Commander Ma loudly issued combat orders.
No matter what the reason for this group of devils appearing here, he must kill this group of devils!
Once the Japanese are asked to send the news back to the Japanese headquarters that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is here.
Then the entire battle plan of the Japanese to encircle Shimen City and the Zhengding area may be leaked in advance.
Behind the 26th Infantry Battalion, there are 9 infantry battalions with more than 20,000 main elites.
Even if the Japanese came with a Category A division, Ma Chuanshan was not afraid. This was also the reason why Ma Chuanshan dared to lead his troops to eliminate this Japanese army because the enemy's situation was unclear.
Very confident.
Following Ma Chuanshan's order, four elite infantry companies quickly surrounded the Japanese from the left and right wings.
Ma Chuanshan, on the other hand, led the main force to support the reconnaissance company from the front.
…
at the same time.
A few kilometers away, in a forest.
The Japs of the 12th Infantry Regiment woke up one after another when they heard gunshots and explosions.
Click, click, click... the sound of pulling the bolt was heard.
However, after all, they were troops of the Class A Division. The first time these Japanese soldiers woke up, they did not panic, but quickly loaded their 38 rifles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because there are aircraft reconnaissance aircraft of the Eighth Route Army in the sky, the 12th Infantry Regiment can only sleep during the day and travel at night.
And they can only sleep in hiding in the woods.
certainly.
This is very risky. Once discovered by the Eighth Route Army, dozens of bombers will be dispatched, carrying incendiary bombs and aerial bombs, and most of the 12th Infantry Regiment can be taken away in one wave.
but.
Takashi Takamori, the commander of the 11th Division, felt that wealth and wealth were in danger, and if he wanted to break the myth of the Eighth Route Army's invincibility, he had to make dangerous moves.
"Nani?"
"What happened?"
Colonel Harada Kiyoko, captain of the 12th Infantry Regiment, held a sword in one hand and a Southern Type 14 pistol in the other. Hearing the constant explosions and gunshots, his face looked uncertain.
With the Locust Army guerrillas leading the way, the 12th Infantry Regiment had an unimpeded journey after leaving Zhengding.
After sleeping during the day and a night of rapid marching, we can reach our destination, Longwangtu, to ambush the Eighth Route Army's columns.
As long as you are lucky, you will definitely be able to ambush the Eighth Route Army's columns transporting troops and combat supplies.
If you're lucky, you might be able to kill a senior officer of the Eighth Route Army, and then Colonel Harada Kiyoko will become Major General Harada Kiyoko.
But now that the gunfire rings out, the ambush plan of the 12th Infantry Regiment may be leaked.
"The commander of the regiment should be the 1st Infantry Squadron, and they are at war with the Eighth Route Army."
The adjutant on the side also said with a surprised look on his face.
The 1st Infantry Squadron is the vanguard of the 12th Infantry Regiment. The soldiers are all agile veterans and have very strong combat effectiveness.
so.
Colonel Harada Kiyoko arranged the 1st Infantry Squadron as the vanguard, keeping a distance of 2-3 kilometers from the main force of the 12th Regiment.
The direction in which the exchange of fire occurred was exactly where the 1st Infantry Squadron was resting.
After a while, a Japanese reconnaissance cavalry rode on horseback and quickly ran into the woods. He bowed his head and saluted Colonel Harada Kiyoko and reported: "Report to the commander, the 1st Squadron encountered the Eighth Route Army. The enemy's strength is about 1 squadron. A firefight is taking place. We
The squadron leader requests tactical guidance!"
"Nani?" Colonel Harada Kiyozo narrowed his eyes, "A squadron of the Eighth Route Army?"
"Hi."
The Japanese scout cavalry bowed their heads.
The adjutant on the side looked slightly happy: "Your Excellency, Captain, this may be an opportunity for our 12th Infantry Regiment. Doesn't the division commander want to win? The Eighth Route Army of this squadron is coming to our 12th Infantry Regiment."
His military exploits?"
Colonel Harada Kiyoko nodded and said in a arrogant tone: "After we have eliminated this group of Eighth Route Army, we will continue to Niangziguan. Before ambushing the Eighth Route Army's columns, we will first give the division commander a small gift."
If the enemy only has the strength of an infantry squadron, then things will be easy to deal with.
In order not to expose the plan of interspersed ambush operations, Colonel Harada Kiyozo could only kill this Eighth Route Army first.
"Send the order!"
Colonel Harada Kiyoko's tone was full of murderous intent:
"The 2nd Infantry Battalion is outflanking from the left wing, the 3rd Infantry Battalion is outflanking from the right wing, and the 1st Infantry Battalion is following me from the front to reinforce the 1st Infantry Squadron."
"Destroy this Eighth Route Army as quickly as possible."
After finishing speaking, Colonel Harada Kiyoko took out his sword, made a crisp sound, and shouted hysterically:
"Kill me!"
As soon as Colonel Kiyozo Harada finished speaking, the Japanese flag soldiers on the side quickly moved towards the direction of the three infantry brigades and issued flag commands with small flags.
As the order from the regiment headquarters was issued, the three main infantry brigades of the 12th Infantry Regiment were like three sharp arrows, thrusting towards the battle area between the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army at extremely fast speeds.
but.
Although the distance between the main force of the Japs and the vanguard of the Japs was about the same as the distance between the Eighth Route Army and the vanguard, the troops of the new regiment were equipped with walkie-talkies.
As a result, a new regiment of reinforcements arrived first.
By the time the Japanese infantry brigade arrived, the 1st Infantry Squadron of the Japanese had already been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and was in danger.
