Chapter 169: Ding Wei who predicts the enemys opportunity
July 7, 1940, three o'clock in the afternoon.
The troops of the Southern Hebei Independent Detachment were divided into two groups and rushed directly towards the remnants of Shiyou San's troops who were fleeing from the county seat of Wei County.
The command headquarters received Zhou Weihan's telegram and immediately ordered all ministries to move toward Wei County.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Mortar shells exploded on the blocking positions of the Jizhong 23rd Regiment and the 28th Regiment.
The 23rd Regiment and the 28th Regiment, which were encircled from the northwest, became surprise troops at this time. They were the first units of all participating units of the Eighth Route Army to arrive in Wei County.
"How's it going? I just said that the Three Friends of Friends will flee to the county seat of Wei County. Let's catch them this time!" Ding Wei, the leader of the 28th Regiment, was nestled in the trench, observing the enemy's offensive with a telescope.
"If you ask me, you are just a blind cat who met a dead rat. What a coincidence!" Hao Zigui, the leader of the 23rd Regiment on the side, joked.
"Fuck you, uncle, I was trying to predict the enemy's opportunity. In addition to our Eighth Route Army and Shi Yousan's 69th Army in southern Hebei, the strongest one is the little Japanese. Shi Yousan is in danger, and the little Japanese is his life-saving straw.
Although I don’t know why the Jaap didn’t send troops to support him at the beginning of the war, but judging from the current situation, Shi Yousan must have reached an agreement with the Jaap! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fled to Wei County!” Ding Wei analyzed.
"Our two main regiments have nearly 3,000 people. According to the command of the headquarters, we will stop the attack on the spot. In less than two hours, reinforcements from various ministries will arrive and surround Shi Yousan in Shuangma Town on the outskirts of Wei County!"
While he was talking, more than 1,500 people from Shiyou's Third Special Agent Brigade rushed towards the position of the 1st Battalion of the 28th Regiment like a tide.
Ding Wei's 28th Regiment has four infantry battalions. In addition to the fourth battalion serving as a reserve, the first battalion is prominent in the center, and the second and third battalions are arranged on the left and right wings to form a triangular defense position.
"Bah, bang, bang!" Seeing the enemy approaching, the light and heavy machine guns on the position suddenly opened fire, followed by an overwhelming barrage of grenades thrown out.
Although the quality of the Eighth Route Army's grenades is not as good as the Kuomintang's long-handled grenades and the Japanese's grenades, the lack of quality makes up for it in quantity.
Hand grenades exploded next to the charging enemy soldiers, causing the charging enemy soldiers to flip over.
Seeing the tight defense and intensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the position, the charging enemy troops turned their guns one after another and routed towards their own side.
"Go back the hell, I'm going to shoot if you retreat!" Seeing that the front troops' attack was blocked, the rear supervision team ran towards their own position and raised their guns one after another.
"You bastard, who are you trying to scare? You're fucking sucking milk when I'm carrying a gun! Try the Eighth Route Army's firepower yourself if you can, and don't use your fucking power on me!" said a veteran oil man.
He said cursingly.
"Commander Li, I am here to supervise the battle under the orders of the military commander. Anyone who flees and mutinies will be killed without mercy!" An officer supervising the battle team looked stern and showed no mercy. He shot and killed the veteran Youzi who had just led the trouble.
.
The veteran who led the trouble, Youzi, was shot dead by the supervising team, and everyone in the chaotic group fell into silence.
The commander of the first regiment of the enemy's special agent brigade looked gloomy and uncertain. Then he walked to the officer supervising the team and said in a low voice: "Company Commander Song, it's enough to scare the monkeys. The troops themselves have suffered serious losses and their morale is low. It's better not to cause trouble at this time."
So good!”
After hearing this, Captain Song nodded slightly and agreed.
"You all should be honest. Officers at all levels must restrain their subordinates! If you dare to cause trouble again, I will shoot you without mercy!"
"Company Commander Song, this group of Eighth Route Army blocking the road is very powerful. Brother, I still need to discuss the next battle plan with the military commander!" the leader of the first regiment said loudly.
28th regiment position.
"First Battalion Commander, the regimental commander ordered that all troops retreat. The 23rd Regiment has built a second-line defensive position!" Ding Wei's order to retreat sounded in the positions of the three battalions.
"Retreat? The enemy's offensive is like paper. It can be retreated in one strike. Why retreat?" a battalion commander wondered.
"Battalion Commander, withdraw. Our regiment's position is just a few foxholes dug. Is there any terrain advantage here? When the enemy gathers forces here to attack, casualties will definitely increase!" the instructor of the first battalion advised.
"withdraw!"
Although Ding Wei expected that the Three Shiyou Regiments would approach Wei County, he was not sure which way the Three Shiyou Regiments would take. The 23rd and 28th Regiments suddenly came into contact with the Third Regiments of Shiyou and immediately started fighting. Ding Wei's 28th Regiment exchanged fire with them first, and the 23rd Regiment
The regiment took the opportunity to build tight fortifications in the rear.
"Did you see that the remnants of Shi Yousan's army have no will to fight now? A regiment of troops was defeated like this! Give me two more regiments of troops, and I will dare to go up and eat him!" Ding Wei looked at the front line.
Said excitedly about the situation.
"Don't mention it, Shi Yousan is a commander of the regular army after all. How come there were no large-caliber artillery during the attack and they were all mortars?" Hao Zigui of the 23rd Regiment wondered.
"It goes without saying that I must have lost all my belongings when I ran away. I just don't know which brother's unit is better!" Ding Wei chewed his teeth and said, with this look, he was clearly thinking about Shi Yousan's artillery unit.
Sixty-ninth Army Military Headquarters.
Shi Yousan was sitting in the first place, his expression gloomy as he thought of the troops who had gone so hard to pull out and were beaten by the Eighth Route Army and fled in all directions.
Apart from him, the only generals present here are his brother Shi Youxin, the major general brigade commander, and the remaining colonel officers are the two regimental commanders of the secret service brigade and the staff officer of the military headquarters.
At this time, Shi Yousan had already figured it out. The major general counselor and the director of the Political Training Department who had been arranged by Chiang Kai-shek to join the Third Department of Shi Youyou were both detained by people sent by Shi Yousan.
"Military seat, I'm afraid the Eighth Route Army has seen through our intentions, otherwise it wouldn't have blocked our march route near Wei County. For the current plan, in my opinion, we should organize elite troops to attack the Eighth Route Army's positions again, otherwise
Once the main force of the Eighth Route Army encircles us, the entire army will be in danger of being annihilated!" said Shi Youxin, the commander of the Secret Service Brigade.
"Order the security battalion of the military headquarters and the Second Regiment of the Special Agent Brigade to continue to attack the Eighth Route Army on the position and gather all the mortars together. I don't believe it. They can't smash this bone in front of me!" Shi Yousan said angrily.
"Report to the military position, report from the forward observation post, the Eighth Route Army retreats to the second-line defensive position!"
Shi Yousan is also a person who is well versed in military affairs. After hearing the report, he was furious. He slapped the table and cursed: "You Li Wenqi, you are a fucking pig. You are a group of rubbish. The Eighth Route Army has not even repaired its positions."
, you have a group of more than 1,500 people and you can’t take it down!”
"Military seat, we are facing a formidable enemy. We still need all of you here to join hands to fight against the enemy. Let's talk about it after we have any battles!" Shi Youxin persuaded, and Li Wenqi, the commander of the first regiment, was his confidant.
"I'm afraid the Eighth Route Army's second-line defensive positions are not so easy to break through. Now it is better to wait for reinforcements, build fortifications, and wait for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive!"
"Listen to me, everyone, let me build the fortifications, otherwise the main force of the Eighth Route Army will come, let's all die together!" Shi Yousan said with red eyes.
Everyone dispersed, leaving only three or two close friends in the room.
"How do the Japanese respond?"
"The Japanese army in Xingtai promised to dispatch half of the regiment, together with the planes from Shizhuang, to support our army. However, our army failed to arrive at Wei County as promised. Will this..." Shi Yousan worried
said.
"Don't worry, as long as I still have troops in my hands, the Japanese will not leave them alone. The Japanese still need me to do things for them! Hurry up and urge the Japanese to send troops to support!" Shi Yousan said
