The sun finally sets and the long day is finally over.
Before dark, the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 8th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army finally broke through the position of the 2nd Independent Regiment and pushed the front five miles forward again. However, judging from the map, it was still 50 miles away from Qinghe County.
distance, and at this rate of advance, it would take at least five days to reach the foot of Qinghe City.
At the headquarters of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade, Segawa Shiro was closing his eyes in deep thought.
Not far away, the military lunch box hanging on the fire to boil water had already boiled and was steaming out. However, Segawa Shiro seemed not to hear it. Yoshida Minetaro, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly stepped forward to replace Segawa.
Kawashiro's tea cup was filled with boiling water, and then some cold water was added to the military lunch box.
Segawa Shiro immediately opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly and said, "Thank you."
Yoshida Minetaro waved his hand and said solemnly: "General, Yue Weihan is truly a serious concern to the Empire of Japan and the Imperial Army. What is standing in front of us is obviously just a group of poorly equipped and untrained rabble, but under Yue Weihan's command
But it became so difficult! In one full afternoon, the imperial army only advanced ten miles!"
"This man does have some abilities." Shiro Segawa said, "It's no wonder he can repeatedly inflict heavy losses on the imperial army."
Yoshida Minetaro said: "General, do you want to send a telegram to the front army headquarters to request additional reinforcements?"
"That's not necessary." Shiro Segawa suddenly raised his hand and said, "Now is no longer the ancient times. With the development of science and technology, the impact of the personal abilities of leading generals on the outcome of the war has been greatly weakened, and the training of an army
, the influence of factors such as logistics support and weapons and equipment has been greatly strengthened. Yue Weihan is indeed very good at leading troops and fighting, but after all, his troops lack training and are even worse equipped. Our brigade can completely eliminate them."
After saying this, Shiro Segawa added: "Yue Weihan is good at night fighting and prefers night fighting, so he will definitely send troops to sneak attack tonight and order the troops to be alert!"
"Hai." Yoshida Minetaro lowered his head suddenly and immediately took the order.
Watching Minetaro Yoshida's figure disappear outside the tent, Segawa Shiro suddenly whispered to himself: "Yue Weihan, I want to see what other tricks you can do with this ragtag group of people?"
…………
Qinghe County, Baoshan Tourism Headquarters.
Yue Weihan put his hands behind his back and was looking at the huge account map on the wall in trance.
Although Yue Weihan's eyes looked a little dull, his thinking never stopped for a moment.
The strength, equipment, and combat effectiveness of the Japanese independent mixed 8th brigade, the strength, equipment, and combat effectiveness of the independent regiments of the Baoshan Brigade, as well as the casualties of the two armies after today's fierce battle, as well as the artillery battalions and cavalry battalions that are about to arrive, have all been transformed
Each data is being calculated and changed rapidly in Yue Weihan's mind.
Yue Weihan speculated on various possibilities over and over again.
The final conclusion was that the Japanese independent mixed 8th brigade would be at its end after advancing to Qinghe County and completely lose its offensive capabilities. However, if the Baoshan brigade wants to completely annihilate the independent mixed 8th brigade, it will at least have to pay
Nearly half of the casualties cost, which means that eight regiments and nearly 20,000 troops were lost in the battle!
Of course, this is just Yue Weihan's deduction and is for reference only.
In fact, deduction is one thing, but actual combat is another matter. In this world, no matter how powerful the deduction master is, it is impossible for him to truly make every move possible.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, Liu Yi had already walked in with a gloomy expression.
Entering the war room, Liu Yi said nothing, picked up the kettle on the table and started drinking.
Liu Yi had just returned from inspecting the forward positions and saw the 1st Independent Regiment and the 2nd Independent Regiment. These two regiments had been completely disabled by the Japanese. Not to mention all the positions were lost, and most of the weapons and equipment were missing. The only good thing is that the personnel
There were not many casualties, and there were actually more than 4,000 people left in the two regiments.
However, Liu Yi would rather these two regiments were completely destroyed!
If these two regiments are really exhausted, no matter how hard it is, they can still defeat the enemy's entire group.
However, now, the two regiments are basically disabled, but the little devils on the opposite side seem to have suffered little losses.
Since the Baoshan Brigade formed an independent army, it has never had such a useless record. The two regiments only guarded a position less than 500 meters wide, but the Japanese army was defeated in half a day. What's even more annoying
However, the Japanese army only dispatched an infantry brigade, with no aircraft to assist in the battle, and they did not even use artillery.
"The rabble, this is just a bunch of fucking rabble!"
Liu Yi slammed the empty kettle on the table and finally cursed.
Yue Weihan was silent, but he could completely understand Liu Yi's mood. He was used to the elite Baoshan Brigade, and suddenly faced with such a ragtag group of people, who could bear it? For example, a veteran was used to using nine
The Type II heavy machine gun was charging at the enemy, but one day he was suddenly asked to fight with the old sleeve. It would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
Liu Yi soon realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and then said with concern: "Master, I now doubt whether your plan can be realized? With this group of people
Let alone attacking a big city like Shijiazhuang, it is hard to say whether the Segawa brigade in front of us can be defeated by a ragtag group of people."
"Chief of Staff, Cao Xinglong and Lu Xiufeng actually did a good job, really." Yue Weihan said unexpectedly, "At least, it was much better than I expected. I thought that the Segawa Brigade would be able to defeat at least three of our regiments this afternoon.
, now only two regiments have been defeated, it can be considered a victory."
"Uh..." Liu Yi suddenly became speechless after hearing this.
Yue Weihan pondered for a while and suddenly said: "Send the order, Cao Xinglong and Lu Xiufeng will immediately take over the 3rd regiment, the 4th regiment, the 1st regiment, and the 2nd regiment will be temporarily taken over by Huang Baocheng and Liao Yaoting, and withdraw to the county to rest!"
"Eh?" Liu Yi said in astonishment, "Sergeant, are you... changing the troops but not the generals?"
"Yes, we don't change generals when we change troops!" Yue Weihan nodded heavily. "The troops must fight in turns, and this ragtag group of people must be familiar with the atmosphere of the battlefield in the shortest possible time. However, the leading generals do not need to be changed frequently. Cao Xinglong and Lu
Xiufeng is responsible for the defense, let’s see if they can survive the day tomorrow with the strength of two regiments?”
Liu Yi immediately understood Yue Weihan's intention. He not only wanted to train troops, he also wanted to train generals!
Cao Xinglong is thoughtful, Lu Xiufeng is cautious, Chi Chengfeng is as fast as the wind, and Li Qinglong is as fast as fire! These four people, two shields and two spears, seem to have high hopes from the host. Suddenly, Liu Yi's eyebrows
There was already a hint of expectation, and he said: "Cao Xinglong and Lu Xiufeng did not disappoint the guest, but I wonder if Chi Chengfeng and Li Qinglong can bring some surprises to the guest?"
"Surprise?" Yue Weihan curled his lips and said bluntly, "Offensive warfare is not as good as defensive warfare. Commanding and dispatching troops will only be more difficult. Attacking at night is especially difficult. Just two idiots Chi Chengfeng and Li Qinglong,
If we can bring that rabble tonight to get within two hundred meters of the Japanese camp, it will be considered a major victory."
"Two hundred meters?" Liu Yi said in astonishment, "This shouldn't be enough, right?"
"No?" Yue Weihan said suddenly, "Then let's wait and see."
For the well-trained regular army, night marching and night assault are just very simple subjects, but for the ragtag group of people who have never received formal training, this is an arduous task that is difficult to complete. You can never imagine that when
What kind of emergencies will happen when a ragtag group of people march at night!
…………
Dark and deep.
Thick dark clouds covered the stars and moon, and the surrounding areas were pitch black.
In the blind wilderness, more than five hundred people were marching. A thousand meters ahead was the Japanese camp. The people neither dared to use torches nor flashlights, so they could only move forward in the dark.
These more than 500 people were suddenly the 16th Independent Regiment led by Chi Chengfeng. The 16th Independent Regiment had more than 2,500 people, but now there were only more than 500 people left behind Chi Chengfeng, and the rest were all lost on the march.
, I don’t know where I’m going now. If I want to gather these lost people, I’m afraid I have to wait until dawn.
"Plop." Chi Chengfeng, who was walking at the front, stepped on the air and fell into a small ditch.
Chi Chengfeng climbed up from the small ditch in embarrassment, turned around and warned: "Pass backwards, there is a ditch in front of you, be careful where you step."
Chi Chengfeng's guard jumped over the small ditch and turned back to spread the message: "Send it to the back. There is a ditch in front of you. Watch your step."
A soldier passed by: "Pass it backwards. There is a ditch in front of you. Watch your feet."
Two soldiers passed by: "Pass to the back. There is a ditch in front of you. Pay attention."
Three soldiers passed by: "Pass to the back, there is a ditch in front."
Four soldiers passed by: "Pass to the back, there is a dog in front."
Five soldiers passed by: "Turn back, there is a dog in front of you!"
So starting from the sixth soldier, they all turned around and went back.
Chi Chengfeng groped forward for about a hundred meters, and suddenly felt that the movement behind him was much smaller.
When Chi Chengfeng hurriedly turned around to count the number of people, he found that there were only five people left behind him. He was so angry that he yelled: "Grandma, where are the people? Where have all the people gone?"
The guard and the other three soldiers looked at each other, speechless.
…………
Another direction.
Li Qinglong's 14th Independent Regiment also took advantage of the darkness to approach the Japanese camp.
Li Qinglong's situation is not much better than Chi Chengfeng. There are only more than 600 troops who can still follow him at this time, and all of them are bruised and swollen, and they have fallen countless times on the road.
After finally reaching within 500 meters, something went wrong. A new recruit missed the mark and fell to the ground.
Just drop it, but this recruit was so nervous that his finger was still on the trigger of the rifle when he was marching, and the rifle had not yet turned off the safety, so he immediately pulled the trigger, a red light flashed, and the hot bullet
It had already penetrated the head of another recruit in front of him.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the target was exposed.
Two flares suddenly rose in the Japanese camp, and the dazzling light suddenly illuminated the entire wilderness like daylight. In an instant, several machine guns on the Japanese watchtowers also fired violently, and the bullets like splashing water hit Li
The grass in front of Qinglong was splashing with dirt and grass, and Li Qinglong had no choice but to order a retreat.
