After all, this unit was carefully selected and painstakingly cultivated by the Japanese army. No matter what mistakes were made in strategy and tactics, the quality of individual soldiers and group tactics were indeed a result of a lot of painstaking efforts. In addition, the inherent characteristics of the Japanese army
With his tenacity and unique resilience, the military quality of his troops can be said to be quite high.
After this period of fierce fighting, we killed a thousand enemies and suffered 800 losses. Now we have indeed eliminated most of the enemy troops, but our own guard troops also suffered heavy losses. The two and a half companies of guard troops are not counted as left behind.
Of the three squads at other city gates, there is now less than one company left.
Under this situation, judging from the combat effectiveness of this Japanese army, after having figured out what he wanted, Yang Zhen did not want to cause unnecessary losses to the troops. In addition, the sky was gradually starting to darken, Yang Zhen
He didn't want to delay the battle until dark and give the Japanese a chance to break out. So he simply ordered an artillery battery to be dispatched to use artillery shells to deal with the remaining enemy forces.
It's just that Yang Zhen didn't expect that after his order, not only did the artillery arrive within half an hour, but a full infantry battalion came from the peripheral troops. And the leader of the team was supposed to stay at the moment.
The person on guard duty at the periphery was the boss of the regiment headquarters himself.
Seeing Yang Zhen standing in a sandbag fortification at the city gate, except for the livid-faced boss, whose face was very ugly. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei regiment leader and political commissar beside him looked downcast and could not even look.
They didn't dare to look at Yang Zhen. It was obvious that the regimental commander and political commissar, who had already grasped the situation, knew that their own troops had muddle-headedly let the enemy troops pass and made a mistake that almost didn't break the sky.
Before dividing the troops with the main force, the deputy commander of the military region who led the team repeatedly told himself that he must cooperate with the anti-alliance security forces and do a good job in the security of Renqiu County. However, such a large Japanese special agent team was there.
Under his nose, he touched the north gate of Renqiu County.
If it weren't for the extremely alert vigilance of the anti-alliance security forces, they would have discovered something unusual about this Japanese special agent force outside the north gate. Once this Japanese special agent force entered Renqiu County, the consequences would have been disastrous. Although the two of them were actually fighting
They had little experience, but they were neither new soldiers. The two of them knew the consequences of being touched by the Japanese army at the headquarters.
It's just that they don't understand why the Anti-Japanese Alliance has always refused to reinforce themselves despite the fierce Japanese offensive. As soon as the gunshots rang out at the north gate of Renqiu, the two people who sensed that something was not going well immediately gathered together to strengthen the troops.
Company, immediately prepare to reinforce the North Gate battlefield. After all, the two of them are quite clear about the importance of Renqiu County at this moment.
Although it was not yet clear what the situation was in Renqiu County, they immediately mobilized troops and quickly sent reinforcements to the place where the gunshots were heard. At the same time, they ordered the deputy commander and chief of staff who were left behind to immediately notify the troops in other directions and watch closely.
If there is anything unusual in your area, immediately assemble two more companies to follow up.
But just as the two people were hurriedly gathering their troops, they did not expect to receive a telegram from the front commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the city, asking their troops to strictly guard their current positions and never send reinforcements to Renqiu County. Looking at the end of the telegram, the Anti-Japanese Alliance
Although the two people were puzzled by the signature of No. 1, they finally chose to execute the order.
The boss at their regiment headquarters firmly disagreed with them carrying out the orders of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and insisted on immediate reinforcements. Fortunately, Yang Zhen had already thought that the boss would definitely take action, and before going to the North Gate to take over the command, he specially sent
A staff officer took a handwritten letter from him and rushed out of the city from the east gate to the regiment headquarters. He arrived in time and persuaded the boss not to make a decision easily.
Although the boss finally listened to the persuasion, Yang Zhen's safety always worried him. During the entire battle, the boss stood on a roof outside the battlefield, always observing the battlefield closely with high-powered binoculars.
A combat staff officer with a radio station was observing covertly on the outside of the battlefield, reporting all battle conditions at any time. Therefore, the boss was very aware of every move on the battlefield outside the north gate.
It was not until he saw with his own eyes that the Japanese army's sneak attack was not only thwarted, but also that the anti-alliance forces had completed the siege. However, after receiving a telegram from Yang Zhen to mobilize artillery to join the war, the boss still ignored the persuasion and led the team there in person.
North Gate. When he saw Yang Zhen actually standing at the North Gate, it was obvious that he was personally commanding this battle, the boss was really angry.
Facing the boss's suppressed anger, Yang Zhen shook his head. He handed the transferred artillery to a combat officer beside him, and after a few more words in a low voice, he turned around, looked at the boss and said with a smile.
: "Boss, why did you lead the team here in person? This is not a safe place now."
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, the boss did not save him any face, and said in a very cold tone: "You also know that it is not safe here? I thought you regarded this place as Harbin in the Northeast? Don't forget, you
He is the military commander of this battle, not the commander of a certain battalion-level battlefield."
"Don't tell me, there really is no one around you who can replace your command here. The combat staff around you are so incompetent that they can't even report on the battle situation. Don't tell me, all the walkie-talkies in your army
All the phones and phones are out of order, leaving you with no choice but to go to the front line to command in person.”
"You are the leader of an army on the battlefield, and your safety is directly related to the outcome of this battle. You should be clear about the principle that a snake cannot survive without a head. Why would you risk your life so easily? This was reflected in the Wannan Incident
Afterwards, the central government has repeatedly criticized you. Why can't you accept a lesson?"
"Also, if such a big thing happened, why didn't you send troops for reinforcements? I sent them here to guard your headquarters, not as a field tour group. The Japanese army that attacked Renqiu this time is indeed not ordinary.
Japanese troops, I have also seen this. For the regiment currently deployed outside Renqiu, these Japanese troops can be said to be a group of extremely ferocious wolves. If this regiment is thrown in, what awaits them will be an extremely bloody battle.
"
"But as a force with a security mission, when its own security target is attacked, this security force can only sit back and watch. Comrade Yang Zhen, have you considered this approach for this force?
What kind of harm will it cause in the future? What you do means you don’t trust them."
"I know that you have strict requirements on the troops, and there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. I also know what kind of losses it will bring to them when facing such a special Japanese force and putting this new force into the battlefield. But still
As the saying goes, nothing can be made without polishing it. Real fist troops are made by fighting. The child who has been hiding in the mother's arms will never grow up."
"If you do this, it will be quite detrimental to their growth. You are also a person who has led troops for many years. You should know that the biggest blow to the morale of an army is not how hard the battle has been endured, nor how hard it has been endured.
casualties, but the distrust of their superiors."
In response to the boss's accusation, Yang Zhen just smiled and said: "Boss, it's not that I didn't mobilize them to come up for reinforcements. You have also seen the situation of this Japanese army. According to my judgment, this Japanese army should be the top brass of the Japanese army.
A special force formed in imitation of the Anti-Japanese Special Forces. Although it can only be regarded as a half-measure, it is not something that a new force can handle."
"Even if a heavy force is mobilized to encircle and suppress such a force, it may not be possible to solve it in a short time. The best way to solve it is to use special forces against special forces. They are not familiar with the situation, and the enemy troops are wearing our military uniforms and equipped with
It is also an anti-Union weapon. If they rush in hastily, it will easily cause our own chaos."
"Although this Japanese army has not yet mastered the true theory of special operations, at most it has only touched the threshold. But the Japanese army's large-scale raids on the Taihang Mountains in 1941 told us that once they are allowed to escape, the destructive power they will bring
It will still be quite amazing.”
"And if most of them slip out in this battle, it will not only involve a lot of our energy, but also cause serious damage to our rear. The most important thing is that it will enhance the Japanese army's confidence in this combat mode. And once this kind of combat is discovered
The real power of the model lies in the fact that the Japanese army will build and develop this force at all costs."
"With the Japanese's current national strength, once they put even a small part of their strategic focus on this, it will be a serious threat to us in the future. The Japanese army itself has a very effective
Tactical reconnaissance methods have caused us a lot of losses in many battles."
"If the Japanese army is allowed to establish strategic-level special operations forces to carry out long-distance beheadings and deep-seated destruction on us, the consequences will be imaginable. Boss, in this world there are only thieves who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there are no thieves who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
.It is impossible for us to put a large number of our effective forces in our depth and not be able to send them to where they are needed."
"My point of view is to nip all dangers in the bud as much as possible. Whether it is for the frontline war or for the security of our future headquarters at all levels, the Japanese army's idea of developing and strengthening this kind of force should be taken from its roots.
Abolition is what we must do."
"Although the number of my security forces is not large, they are all trained by special forces using special methods. Although they are not, they are equivalent to half of the special forces. They have a certain degree of familiarity and mastery of this special combat mode.
Coupled with the small battlefield area and the poor quality of the Japanese troops participating in the war, it would be irresponsible for their own troops to invest too many troops."
"Boss, I didn't call them for reinforcements. It was after careful consideration, and it was definitely not because I didn't trust my own troops. In some battles, it's not the strength of the troops. Let's not talk about whether this regiment is suitable for such operations.
To deal with this special combat mode, even if they are all mobilized, they may not be the opponent of this Japanese army."
"It is impossible for me to take the risk of letting this Japanese army run out and endanger our rear in order to train a new unit. Boss, I know very well what kind of army my own army is. For this kind of army,
I also know clearly in my heart where the real power lies."
"I understand more clearly what kind of harm will be caused once this Japanese army, which is half-empty but has begun to take shape, slips out from under our noses. Maybe even the brother troops will be dissatisfied with me, but
I still stick to my decision. If they come up in this kind of battle, it will not only mean a simple massacre. More importantly, facing this new combat mode for them will really delay the big things.
"
"And I also personally took over the command of this operation in order to find out how far the Japanese army has developed in terms of special operations concepts, so as to find a way to deal with it in the shortest possible time. Without seeing it with my own eyes, I would really
I’m very worried. Otherwise, boss, do you really think I’m not afraid of death? I don’t want to capsize my boat in this gutter.”
