Chapter 287: Fighting the Japanese Elite

"Hurry, run faster, don't you see that Erlian is about to catch up?"

Wang Tieniu, the commander of the first battalion and one company, scolded loudly, and the troops of the first company were fully armed and ran quickly towards the Jade Emperor Ye Mountain.

On the day after the flag-awarding ceremony, reporters such as Zhang Yue and Catherine followed Tang Chunhua to leave, and the pre-first regiment also began to devote itself to active training.

At present, the officers and men of the first battalion are undergoing training for armed rapid marching, and the infantry of the four companies and the personnel of the battalion headquarters are running.

The first company was the most well-equipped, and their troops were also the fastest, but the second company led by Yue Wu was closely behind, and it seemed that it would surpass the first company at any time.

The soldiers were already sweating profusely, and as the troops came to the Jade Emperor Mountain, some of the soldiers had begun to fall behind in the process of running along the mountain road.

Sun Weiguo, who was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, ran with the troops of the second company, and saw that many soldiers fell behind in the process of climbing the mountain, he knew that the soldiers' physical strength had reached the limit, but he did not give the order to rest.

"Huhu...... Regiment commander, our food is not very good, and if the soldiers continue to train, I am afraid they will still need nutrition. ”

Zhu Jianwei, chief of staff of the regiment headquarters, followed behind Sun Weiguo, and he gasped for breath and said his advice.

When the troops were in Nanzhuang Village, Pingding County, Sun Weiguo led the troops to eliminate all the puppet troops in Pingding County, and captured a lot of grain and canned food from the Japanese army.

With this food, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment ate as strong as cattle at the beginning, but now the food of the First Reserve Regiment is completely dependent on the distribution from above.

Most of the fighters were young men, and it was when they needed a lot of food and needed nutrition, but the food distributed by their superiors was simply not enough.

It's not that the superiors don't take care of the pre-first regiment, but that there is no way to do it, even if they are affiliated with the Central Army, they also eat very poorly.

"Yangqu County is under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, and we want them to be a transport team for us, I'm afraid people won't easily agree."

Sun Weiguo looked at Zhu Jianwei beside him, and he made a joke.

At present, the troops of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army are stationed in the Taiyuan area, and the ferocity of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army is not comparable to that of the troops of the 20th Division.

The first unit of the Japanese army to invade Shanxi was the Japanese Fifth Division, and the Ninth Brigade of the Fifth Division was transferred to Central China to fight, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Itagaki Seishiro, an old devil, simply commanded an infantry brigade and troops directly under the division to sweep through more than 100,000 Jin Sui troops and capture most of the county towns in Shanxi.

If it weren't for the 14th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army of our Central Army to rush to Shanxi to rescue, I'm afraid that the troops under the command of Seishiro Itagaki would have been able to capture Taiyuan City.

The Fifth Division is not easy to provoke, and all the Chinese troops that have fought with the Fifth Division have suffered losses.

Although the 120th Division carried out the task of breaking the Tongpu Railway, they did not take the initiative to engage the troops of the 5th Division.

"Regiment commander, let's fight the idea of the 20th Division of Shouyang County or Meng County, with the current situation of our regiment, if we want to fight with the Fifth Division, we will definitely suffer, and this old devil is not easy to provoke."

The expression on Zhu Jianwei's face became solemn, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said in a serious tone.

"The hard bones that others dare not gnaw, my Sun Weiguo wants to bite it, I not only want to bite it, but I also want to eat comfortably and full."

Sun Weiguo's footsteps stopped, and he looked in the direction of Taiyuan, with a playful smile on his face.

The troops of the first battalion continued to march in arms, but Sun Weiguo returned to the regimental headquarters in Zhujiazhuang Village with Zhu Jianwen.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, Sun Weiguo found Ge Haifeng, the company commander of the reconnaissance company.

"Wei Guo, you are crazy, the troops of the Fifth Division are not easy to provoke, now the first regiment has not completed the whole training, we will definitely lose when we fight with them, have you considered it, if we lose the battle, this will bring unimaginable blows to the troops."

Hearing that Sun Weiguo had given Ge Haifeng an order to go to Donghuangshui Town to conduct reconnaissance, political commissar Shen Wei immediately raised objections.

"Regiment commander, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division is very strong, it is not the time for our regiment to fight with them now, if we want to replenish weapons and ammunition, we can choose to fight the Japanese 20th Division troops in Mengxian County or Shouyang County, compared to the Fifth Division, the combat effectiveness of the 20th Division is a little worse."

The regimental chief of staff, Zhao Lerong, also frowned slightly, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said with a solemn expression on his face.

"What kind of troops can be trained by beating soft persimmons, if you want to fight, you can fight the elite of the Japanese army. The formation of combat effectiveness of troops is not only through training, but also the battlefield is the best training ground. We prepared the first regiment and chose the fifth division in the first battle, and we played the elite trump card of the Japanese. ”

Sun Weiguo clenched his right hand into a fist, he looked at Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong, and said with a serious expression.

Sun Weiguo can drag it out because of the lack of weapons and ammunition, but the food problem of the soldiers can't be delayed, and Sun Weiguo can't let the soldiers train hungry.

The troops of the Fifth Division are the first battle troops selected by Sun Weiguo for the First Reserve Regiment, and whether the Reserve First Regiment will be a tiger or a cat after the first regiment depends on whether this battle can be won.

"The political commissar, the chief of staff, and the regiment commander are right, if you want to fight, you will fight the elite of the Japanese army, and the troops trained by eating soft persimmons will not be able to bear any wind and rain. At the beginning, our independent regiment was a terrified unit of the Japanese puppet army, and the first reserve regiment was a unit rebuilt by the old foundation of the independent regiment, and we must not lose the tradition of the independent regiment. ”

Ge Haifeng said with a serious expression, too excited, Ge Haifeng's cheeks were a little rosy.

Shen Wei looked at Ge Haifeng, her eyes looked at Sun Weiguo again, her brows furrowed tightly, but she didn't continue to say anything.

Zhao Lerong lowered his head and stopped talking, his eyes began to look towards Donghuangshui Town.

Since Sun Weiguo was determined to take the Japanese Fifth Division, as the chief of staff of the First Advance Regiment, he had to formulate a reasonable battle plan.

"Ge Haifeng, gather with the cadres above the reconnaissance company level, and I will personally take you to Donghuangshui Town for reconnaissance in a while." Sun Weiguo gave the order.

Ge Haifeng saluted Sun Weiguo, and then he walked out quickly.

"Political commissar, Senior Commander He, I'm bothering you to say hello, let Luo Hongyi personally generate electricity." Sun Weiguo said with a smile.

At present, Luo Hongyi has served as the platoon commander of the communication platoon of the regiment headquarters company, and under Sun Weiguo's teaching, Luo Hongyi is able to use the radio skillfully.

As for Fan Shuming, Sun Weiguo arranged for him to be an idle post as a regimental security staff officer, nominally asking Fan Shuming to assist Liu Jingnuan and Qin Xianliang in managing the guard company and the regimental headquarters company, but Sun Weiguo told Liu Jingnuma and Qin Xianliang not to give Fan Shuming any opportunity to meddle in the management of the troops.

Moreover, Sun Weiguo and Shen Wei and other party members have held a secret meeting, and they decided to conduct a secret investigation of Fan Shuming.
