It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and when Yue Weihan was about to go back to his room to rest, Liu Yi walked in angrily and said: "My guest, I really let you talk."
Yue Weihan said calmly: "The night attack failed?"
"More than a failure?" Liu Yi said angrily, "Chi Chengfeng's 16th Independent Regiment, when they reached outside the Japanese garrison, there were only five people left. Li Qinglong's Independent 15th Regiment was still four miles away from the Japs' garrison.
Five hundred meters away, the target was exposed, and a new recruit actually fired his gun and killed one of his own."
"This is also expected." Yue Weihan said, "It has been less than a month since our Baoshan brigade arrived in southern Hebei. Lao Chi and the others are all busy getting equipment and expanding the size of the army. They have no time and energy to train.
These rabble? Night battles especially test the training level of an army. It is certain that they will make a fool of themselves."
"That's true." Liu Yi sighed, "Oh, but I'm worried."
"Chief of Staff, there is no need to worry." Yue Weihan said solemnly, "Actual combat is always the best way to train troops."
After saying this, Yue Weihan said again: "Order the 13th Independent Regiment and the 14th Independent Regiment to continue launching night attacks on the Japanese garrison. Then order Chi Chengfeng and Li Qinglong to seize the time to gather the troops and launch another night attack before dawn. Chief of Staff,
I dare to bet you that this time, they will be able to break through the Japanese army’s first line of defense!”
"Huh?" Liu Yi said solemnly, "I'm going to call the forward position right now."

Chuiyang Town, Japanese Army Command Headquarters.
Minetaro Yoshida strode into the war room and said to Shiro Segawa with disdain on his face: "General, just now a group of Chinese armed forces tried to attack the imperial army's station at night, and accidentally fired a gun five hundred meters away.
The target was exposed in advance, and with such a mob, they actually dared to launch a night attack? It's really overestimating one's capabilities."
Shiro Segawa also had a rare smile on his face, and said: "According to the information provided by the Special High School Course, Yue Weihan is very good at night fighting, and the Baoshan Brigade has repeatedly severely damaged the imperial army in night battles. However, now...it seems...
Yue Weihan made a fatal mistake, he should not have been in a hurry to expand his troops, haha."
Yoshida Minetaro thought for a while and then said: "General, there is something I don't know whether I should say?"
Segawa Shiro said: "Yoshida-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Yoshida Minetaro said: "Although the current Baoshan Brigade is just a ragtag group, there are nearly 40,000 people, and the reason why their combat effectiveness is so low is entirely due to lack of training, let alone actual combat test. Once these people are allowed to
The ragtag group has become familiar with the battlefield atmosphere, and I'm worried that their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved in a short period of time."
Segawa Shiro said: "So, Yoshida-kun, what you mean is... to try your best to fight the Baoshan Brigade quickly?"
"Hai." Yoshida Minetaro suddenly lowered his head and said, "General Mingjian."
"Yoshida-kun, you only know one, but not the other." Shiro Segawa waved his hand and said, "I know that the Baoshan Brigade is taking this opportunity to train in actual combat? However, isn't our independent mixed 8th Brigade in
Actual combat training?”
"Huh?" Yoshida Minetaro said, "General, our brigade is also taking this opportunity to train in actual combat?"
Segawa Shiro nodded and said: "Most of the warriors in our brigade are reserve youths. Although they have received formal military training since childhood, they have never actually been on the battlefield. Yoshida-kun, believe me, after this battle, we
The warriors will grow up rapidly, and their growth rate will far exceed that of the Chinese!"
"Hai." Yoshida Minetaro suddenly lowered his head and said, "I understand the humble position."
…………
The gathering place of the 16th Independent Regiment.
The troops who got separated halfway were quickly gathered together, but Chi Chengfeng's lungs were about to burst with anger. He was now severely reprimanding the dozens of company and platoon leaders under his command.
The new recruit Danzi has never received formal military training, and has never participated in a real night battle. Chi Chengfeng can tolerate being a bit of a fool, but these companies, platoon leaders, and the backbone of the battles in each platoon and squad are all
Veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles have not only received rigorous military training, but are also extremely familiar with night fighting. How can they actually make mistakes?
"You, Ge Erdan, how did you lead the troops?" Chi Chengfeng grabbed a company commander and said angrily, "Grandma, I usually think you are quite smart, but now why do I think you are stupider than a pig?
What? Everyone can drive hundreds of pigs into a pen, but you can’t handle more than a hundred people?"
Company Commander Ge said with a sad face: "Team leader, I have only been a squad leader before."
"What's wrong with the monitor?" Chi Chengfeng roared angrily, "Grandma, how dare you talk back!?"
Company Commander Ge quickly shut up, but he was quite unconvinced in his heart: Well, I used to be a squad leader and could only take care of a dozen people, but now I am asked to take charge of more than a hundred brothers. This is not rushing.
Is the duck on the shelves? Besides, it is difficult to organize troops for a night march, and there are too few veterans. Who can blame you?
"And you." Chi Chengfeng was still angry and turned around to scold the four battalion commanders fiercely, "Grandma, all of you are pigs, stupid pigs! Go and find me sixty-four pieces of hemp quickly.
The rope must be at least thirty meters long. Grandma, I’m going to tie up these bastards and see if they still get lost?”
…………
At the gathering place of the 15th Independent Regiment, Li Qinglong was also handing out bids.
Li Qinglong slapped the badge with the word "First" embroidered on his left arm, and with a ferocious look on his face, he roared at the dozens of battalion, company, and platoon-level officers in front of him: "Did you see that? Did you see that!? First! No. 1 in the world."
Camp! A title bestowed upon me by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek! If it were in ancient times, we would be the Royal Forest among the Royal Forests, but look at your bears, do you look a bit like the Royal Forest Army?"
Dozens of officers all lowered their heads in shame. What they didn't say was that the night battle tonight was indeed not organized well.
Li Qinglong snorted and roared at the top of his lungs: "It was also a night attack. In the Xuzhou battlefield, our first battalion killed a Japanese heavy artillery brigade and a heavy artillery brigade with less than 500 men.
Well, there are six to seven thousand Japanese, and there is a brigade of infantry guards alone, a brigade!"
"But look at you, it was also a night attack. You didn't even touch the enemy's hair, and you even shot and killed one of your own people! It's so shameful. The face of the best battalion in the world has been lost to you. It's so embarrassing for you."
These unsatisfactory bastards are so angry. Don’t tell others that they are my soldiers when you go out. I can’t afford to lose that person!”
After training dozens of officers like dogs, Li Qinglong finally said: "Okay, you all go back first. I'll give you half an hour to use your brains and think about how to organize the troops? Half an hour."
After that, the troops regrouped. This time, they are not allowed to run away and have diarrhea. I will shoot anyone who causes problems."
"Yes." Dozens of officers responded with a roar, and several sentries with guns in hand were vigilantly scanning the dark wilderness. They had been attacked twice in a row tonight. Although the Chinese attack failed, they even failed.
They failed to get close to the Japanese military station, but as sentries, they never dared to slack off in the slightest.
Not far from the sentry, there is a hidden machine gun bunker.
Four Japanese soldiers lay quietly behind the bunker, including a shooter, two deputy shooters, and a commander. The shooter's hands never left the machine gun's bolt.
Suddenly, two crisp gunshots rang out in the dark wilderness.
The two Japanese sentries standing in the light fell down without saying a word. They were both shot in the head.
Immediately, countless black shadows appeared in the dark wilderness and opened fire violently at the Japanese camp. This group of sneak attackers were surprisingly less than fifty meters away from the outer positions of the Japanese camp!
"Tu tu tu tu..." The Japanese machine guns hidden in the dark suddenly opened fire violently.
The black shadow at the forefront suddenly fell down, but soon, a bundle of cluster grenades was suddenly thrown over, and a huge explosion suddenly rose into the sky accompanied by a dazzling red light. The Japanese machine gun, together with the four Japanese
The soldier was torn into pieces by the huge air wave generated by the explosion...
The next moment, countless black shadows had overturned the iron wire hillock and rushed into the Japanese garrison.
Another hidden fire point of the Japanese army opened fire violently, and the intensive machine gun fire swept down a large number of figures. But then, more than a dozen melon grenades roared in, and with a deafening explosion, another hidden fire point of the Japanese army came.
It was blown up to the sky.
The sleeping Japanese soldiers suddenly woke up and rushed out of the tent screaming.
In an instant, the entire Japanese garrison became a burning battlefield. The roars of various rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns intertwined. Countless hot bullets flew and roared in the air. From time to time, grenades or melon grenades flew from the sky.
It passed by, and immediately there was a huge explosion, and then there were broken limbs flying all over the sky...
…………
Shiro Segawa was awakened from his sleep by the huge explosion. When he turned over and sat up on the camp bed, Chief of Staff Yoshida Minetaro had already opened the curtain with a gloomy face and walked in. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "General, the Infantry Division
The station of the 4th Squadron of the 5th Battalion was raided, and the outer positions have been broken through!"
Shiro Segawa frowned and said, "The outer position was breached?"
Yoshida Minetaro suddenly lowered his head and said: "Hai, the news has been verified."
As soon as Yoshida Minetaro finished speaking, gunfire suddenly erupted from several other directions.
When Shiro Segawa and Minetaro Yoshida hurriedly walked out of the tent and looked outside, they saw fierce fighting in the four directions of the east, south, west and north outside the town. Judging from the intensity of gunfire and the intensity of the explosion, this
The Chinese armed forces that raided this time had at least thousands of troops, and they successfully achieved tactical surprise.
