Chapter 773: The First Battalion Attacked
Beiyuan Village, Sun Weiguo's headquarters.
After Sun Weiguo received the report from Huang Gang's first battalion, the expression on his face was obviously much more relaxed.
To deal with the two puppet army divisions in Linzhang County, Sun Weiguo transferred the strength of four infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and two artillery companies.
According to Sun Weiguo's plan, the two infantry battalions were assigned to the first artillery battalion to deal with a puppet army division, and Sun Weiguo hoped that he could annihilate more than 1,000 people of a puppet army regiment in one day, and the first battalion of Huang Gang and the fourth battalion of Zheng Guan Zilin obviously overfulfilled the task.
At present, the two battalions of Zheng Guan Zilin and Huang Gang have annihilated more than 1,000 puppet troops, and killed Cheng Wenxuan, deputy commander of the first division of the Imperial Allied Army.
Sun Weiguo was satisfied with such a record, and when Huang Gang's first battalion troops came to Beiyuan Village, Sun Weiguo had a brief meeting with Huang Gang in the headquarters.
"You guys fought very well, especially the first company, the first company lived up to the title of patriotic company. You have been fighting for several days in a row, according to common sense, I should let you rest and rest, but now the time is very urgent, so you must immediately march towards Huilong Town, and the task of your battalion is to cooperate with the cavalry battalion to completely annihilate the two bandit bullies Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui in Huilong Town. ”
After seeing Huang Gang in the headquarters, Sun Weiguo affirmed the combat performance of the first battalion, he first praised Huang Gang, and then Sun Weiguo gave an order to the first battalion.
Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui in Huilong Town have indeed become lost dogs now, and it will naturally not be a problem to completely eliminate them with the strength of the cavalry battalion.
However, Sun Weiguo was worried that once Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui gathered all the bandits in Linzhang County, then the cavalry battalion would definitely fall into a bitter battle.
Sun Weiguo wanted to reduce the pressure on the cavalry battalion, and he wanted to retain the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion, because Sun Weiguo had already received a report from political commissar Shen Wei that the Japanese troops in Pingding County had begun to be dispatched, and Sun Weiguo planned to quickly send the cavalry battalion and the third artillery battalion back to Pingding County to fight in a crisis situation.
So to deal with Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui, the two bandit bullies, Sun Weiguo had to transfer Huang Gang's first battalion to participate in the battle.
"Commander, please rest assured, our battalion can continue to fight, and we promise to complete the mission." Huang Gang saluted Sun Weiguo, and he replied with a firm face.
The first battalion is the elite of the new second brigade, and Huang Gang has always required the first battalion to conduct training with high standards.
In terms of physical strength, Huang Gang has also undergone strengthened training, even if the first battalion of troops has gone through continuous combat now, Huang Gang is confident that his troops can complete the tasks assigned to them by Sun Weiguo.
Sun Weiguo came to Huang Gang, he gently patted Huang Gang on the shoulder, and then Sun Weiguo followed Huang Gang and left the headquarters together.
After the officers and men of the 1st Battalion arrived in Beiyuan Village from the front line, the guard company of the Independent Regiment and the Baggage Soldier Company stationed in Beiyuan Village had already prepared lunch for them.
The first battalion won the battle, and Zhong Jian, the commander of the independent regiment, specially ordered the baggage company to take out a large part of the canned beef he carried.
At the same time, Zhong Jian urgently purchased cattle and sheep from nearby villages, and the officers and soldiers of the first battalion are now eating.
When Sun Weiguo, accompanied by Huang Gang, arrived at the temporary station of the first battalion outside the village, the officers and soldiers who were eating immediately stood up, and they saluted Sun Weiguo one after another.
Sun Weiguo returned the salute to the officers and soldiers, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Comrades have worked hard, this time you fought very well, played the military prestige of our Eighth Route Army, and played the strong combat effectiveness of our Sixth Army Division, I believe that after this battle, the puppet army and bandit troops will definitely flee when they see our troops!" Sun Weiguo looked at the officers and soldiers, and he said loudly.
When the officers and men of the first battalion heard Sun Weiguo's praise, they had proud expressions on their faces.
"You guys fought very well, but I still have to remind you, don't be careful, even if the puppet army bandits are tofu scum, you have to fight them as steel, the lessons of the second battalion must not happen, I hope your first battalion will not make the same mistake."
Sun Weiguo reminded the officers and soldiers again, and Sun Weiguo didn't want to see the lesson of Liu Jingnuma's second battalion suffering.
"Commander, although we didn't take these puppet army bandits seriously, but when we fought with them, we would never be careless, and we would fight these puppet soldiers and bandits as little devils." One of the officers immediately replied.
"Very good, everyone continue to eat, and there will be combat missions after you have lunch, and Huang Gang will deploy combat missions in a while, I hope you can complete this mission well." I also believe that you will definitely be able to complete this mission, and the first battalion of the new 2nd Brigade is definitely an elite unit that cannot be defeated or dragged down. ”
Sun Weiguo gave orders to the officers and soldiers, and at the same time, he did not hide his expectations for the first battalion.
When the officers and men heard that there was still a combat mission, they quickly began to eat lunch, and in less than 10 minutes, the officers and men had all eaten their meals.
The companies quickly lined up, the officers and men quickly checked the weapons and ammunition, and the baggage company also quickly replenished the weapons and ammunition that the officers and men needed.
At present, the equipment of the divisional troops of the Sixth Army is still mainly based on the capture of Japanese troops, and when fighting with Japanese troops, the soldiers can use the captured weapons and ammunition while fighting, but most of the puppet troops use Chinese troops' weapons, so this combat unit needs to replenish weapons and ammunition.
"Let's go." After the officers and soldiers replenished their weapons and ammunition, Huang Gang saluted Sun Weiguo, and then he gave the order to set off.
Sun Weiguo watched the officers and soldiers of the first battalion set off, he kept saluting with his right hand, and waited until the officers and soldiers of the first battalion gradually disappeared from his sight, Sun Weiguo slowly put down his right hand, his face showed a solemn expression, he shook his head lightly, and returned to the headquarters quickly.
"Commander, the vanguard of the Japanese army in Pingding County has advanced to Shimen Town, this time the Japanese army dispatched artillery, armored troops, infantry, their total strength is about 7,000 people, according to the observation of our intelligence personnel, the Japanese artillery has at least one artillery wing, although the intelligence personnel do not know who the Japanese commander is for the time being, but according to the analysis of our intelligence section, this time the command of the operation should be Kunomura Momoyo."
Sun Weiguo had just returned to the headquarters, and Wang Kunyao, chief of the Intelligence Section, immediately came to Sun Weiguo to report.
"Commander, the little devil has dispatched a lot of troops this time, they have at least dispatched an infantry wing, a tank wing, and an artillery wing, if it is Kunomura Momoyo who is commanding the operation this time, I am afraid that the political commissar will be difficult for them to parry." After Wang Kunyao's words were finished, Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong immediately said.
