Chapter 712: Insert it into the crotch and grab its eggs
The reconnaissance company passed through Houjiazhai. Along the way, the soldiers did not find any civilians stranded in the village. This made Liang Shengquan feel relieved. Then he found a place outside the village and hurriedly buried the bodies of the eight soldiers.
Shortly after the reconnaissance company left, a raging fire broke out in Houjiazhai, and the fire dyed half of the sky red.
"Company Commander, the little devil has set fire to the village!"
Liang Shengquan naturally noticed the situation at Houjiazhai and said expressionlessly: "Where is the correspondent? Is he here?"
"Report to the company commander that we have contacted the regiment headquarters. The regiment headquarters is twelve miles east of here. The regiment commander ordered that the reconnaissance company immediately break away from the battle and not engage in too many battles with the Japanese army. The current task is to detour from the side and detect the approximate number of Japanese troops!
"Correspondent reports.
"knew!"
The main force of the Japanese army was not far from Houjiazhai, where the battle took place. After hearing the gunfire, the Japanese commander immediately ordered a stop to rest and reinforcements on the battlefield.
However, because we were walking at night and the little devil was not familiar with the road, we ended up one step behind the reconnaissance company.
Seeing the flames covering most of the village, there was no trace of joy on the Japanese commander's face. Judging from his years of experience on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army could annihilate an unsatisfied Japanese squad. The number of the Eighth Route Army was at least a hundred.
And it is an elite force.
Thinking of this, Matsumoto and Si felt a little uneasy. Shouldn't the main force of the Eighth Route Army be thinking about the gathering in Heze? Then he said to the adjutant beside him: "Contact the division headquarters immediately. Our unit is suspected of encountering the main force of the Eighth Route Army at the junction of Dongming and Caoxian.
And ask about the battle situation of the Sixteenth Division. Hurry, hurry up!"
"Hi!" the adjutant responded quickly.
On the other side, after Zhang Dabiao received the situation report from the reconnaissance company, he did not rush forward and instead asked the troops to be on alert on the spot.
After a while, the four battalion commanders of the new regiment were called over. Zhang Dabiao briefly explained the situation and wanted to hear the audience's opinions.
"Old Zhang, what is there to be hesitant about? Who has our new regiment defeated? Our new regiment is an expert in field battles!" The third battalion commander has similar qualifications to Zhang Dabiao, and his voice is particularly loud.
On the contrary, the current first and second battalion commanders were the deputies of Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng, and the fourth battalion commander was promoted after the establishment of the fourth battalion.
"Bullshit, do you know how many little Japs are there in front of you? Logically speaking, the main force of the 35th Division should be fighting with the 35th and 36th Regiments. How did they end up here?" Zhang Dabiao said in confusion.
Since Zhang Dabiao became the leader of the new regiment, he has become much more stable and considers things more comprehensively than when he was the commander of the first battalion.

Nowadays, after the new regiment broke away from the battle along the old path of the Yellow River, the combat attrition was within an acceptable range, but it did not have time to replenish ammunition. If it cannot quickly deal with the invading enemy in front of it...
"Captain, in so many counties in southwestern Shandong, the Japanese army has sent troops from multiple directions. Now it is obviously disrupted. It may be that the Japanese army has transferred some more Japanese troops from Kaifeng and other places to reinforce the Japanese army of the 16th Division, or maybe it is the Japanese army of the 30th Division.
The Fifth Division quietly divided its troops!" The first battalion commander expressed his suspicion.
After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao felt excited and immediately shouted: "Telegraph operator, send a report to the headquarters..."
There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the enemy and us in the sudden encounter. Neither of them acted rashly. They just sent out investigators to try to find out the details of the other party.
Within the headquarters, after receiving the telegram from the New Regiment, the deputy chief of staff immediately ordered intelligence workers in Xinxiang, Kaifeng, Lanfeng and other places to report on the movements of the local Japanese troops.
Soon after, telegrams were sent from various places one after another. The deputy chief of staff looked at the contents of the telegram and felt a little relieved: "It seems that the Japanese army has not added new troops, otherwise intelligence personnel from various places would report it as soon as possible.
!”
"So, this group of Japanese troops is an indistinguishable part of the Japanese troops of the Thirty-fifth Division of the West Wing?" Zhou Weihan seemed to feel that God was really helping him right now, and he would come with whatever he needed.
"Yes, the number of Japanese troops fighting our army west of Heze may not be as large as expected. Our opportunity has come!" The deputy chief of staff and Zhou Weihan looked at each other, both feeling that this was a rare fighter opportunity.
"According to the march route and time, the First Regiment, the Assault Regiment and other units should have just arrived in Dingtao. The Japanese troops of the 35th Division are now divided into two groups, one to the west of Heze and the other to the junction of Dongming and Caoxian. Little Japs
Now it walks on two legs, so let’s stab it at its vitals!”
"Let's see if one regiment, the assault regiment, can insert itself into the crotches of the two Japanese troops and capture their eggs. This will prevent the two Japanese troops from looking at each other from the north to the south, and wait for my troops to encircle them!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Haha!" The deputy chief of staff was amused by Zhou Weihan's metaphor and tapped Zhou Weihan several times with his fingers.
"Pass my order. The 5th Regiment will immediately move south from Puyang to block the retreat of the Japanese army west of Heze. The 29th Regiment will approach south from Pu County and block the Japanese army's way north. The 35th Regiment and the 36th Regiment will continue to block the Japanese army. You must always pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army.
, if the Japanese army shows signs of retreat, I will kill the Japanese army at all costs. The third regiment will continue to rest and recuperate, and will join the battle after dawn!"
"At the same time, immediately contact the first regiment, the assault regiment, to change the marching route. We must rush to the Liujiagangzi area within six hours to prevent the Japanese troops from the north and the south from merging!"
"The new regiment can wait for the opportunity to move. No matter what, it cannot cause the enemy in front of us to move north and get closer to the main force of the 35th Division!" Zhou Weihan ordered one after another.
The communications staff officer who was recording the order asked: "Commander, the first regiment and other departments may be on their way. What should I do if the telegram is not contacted in time?"
"After the Dingtao County Party Committee sent a report, the local government also sent personnel to contact us. No matter what, we must contact the First Regiment and other departments in time!" Zhou Weihan repeated again.
"The general attack on the Japanese army will have to wait until dawn, and all ministries need to wait for formal orders!"
"Yes!" the communications staff member responded hastily.
"Wait a minute, don't rush!" The deputy chief of staff used a measuring ruler to measure the distance from Dingtao to Liujiagang, and then said: "It's about 120 miles. As long as we can contact the group in time, there is enough time.
But in this way, if we leave the main road, the heavy artillery unit may be delayed in marching. This is a great test!"
Zhou Weihan figured out the joints in an instant. A group of troops needed to cross from Dingtao to the southwest to Dongming. After deviating from the main road, the country roads were winding, even passing through fields that had just thawed. The tractor pulled
Zhou Weihan could imagine the scene of heavy artillery passing by in the fields.
"Inform the heavy artillery battalion to rush to Heze first. There is no need to move with the regiment!" Zhou Weihan finally said.
