Chapter 112: Heavy Weapons Support

Regarding Deputy Regiment Commander Wang's initiative to ask for battle, Brigade Commander Chen just smiled and shook his head.

Commander Ye was a relatively observant person, and he found that Brigade Commander Chen's gaze was looking out, and he seemed to be waiting for something.

Brigade Commander Chen was indeed waiting for something, and by about seven o'clock in the evening, the sky had become pitch dark.

Company Commander Huang and Company Commander Dong had already come to the outside of the regiment headquarters of the 772 regiment, and after the two of them got permission, they quickly came to the regiment headquarters.

Seeing that the two company commanders he had sent to Nanzhuang Village had returned, a smile appeared on Brigade Commander Chen's face.

"You can be regarded as coming back, when the brigade commander sent you to Nanzhuang Village, you were still a little unhappy, why are you smiling now. Nanzhuang Village has won a battle, and you have not lost oil and water. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two company commanders, Commander Ye said jokingly.

"SIX HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, TWO INFANTRY GUNS, FIVE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, A LOT OF LIGHT MACHINE GUNS AND GRENADIERS, AND EVEN MORE MORE RIFLES. Brigade commander, regiment commander, this time we are convinced, Comrade Wei Guo's command of the troops to fight is simply like a fairy command. ”

"Brigade commander, regiment commander, to tell the truth, I think Comrade Weiguo is simply condescending in the county brigade, our two small company commanders are not easy to speak, you should continue to invite Comrade Weiguo, if he can come to our 386 Brigade, our brigade is like a tiger, and the little devil will definitely hide when he sees us."

Company Commander Huang and Company Commander Dong first took the initiative to salute, and then the two of them spoke, and they couldn't laugh from ear to ear now.

As for digging Sun Weiguo into the 386 Brigade, they maintained their supportive opinions.

Before, Brigade Commander Chen sent them to reinforce the county brigade to fight, and the two of them still had opinions in their hearts, they felt that if they fought with the local troops, there would definitely be no large-scale battles, and they wanted to stay and fight with the main force.

But after coming to Nanzhuang Village, they completely changed their minds, especially after the battle, both of them were reluctant to leave Sun Weiguo.

They were willing to fight with Sun Weiguo, because Sun Weiguo commanded his troops to fight, and they were always able to win battles, and the number of enemies destroyed was very large.

On the way back to the regimental headquarters of the 772nd Regiment, the two company commanders carefully summed it up.

First of all, Sun Weiguo was good at using defensive operations, Sun Weiguo first relied on fortifications to bring heavy casualties to the Japanese army, and Sun Weiguo was able to quickly capture the fighters, and then launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army, and annihilated the Japanese troops in one fell swoop.

Sun Weiguo was not only good at commanding troops to fight, he was also able to easily mobilize the morale of the troops, and he was able to take the lead and set a good example for the soldiers.

The uprising of the puppet cavalry was an eye-opener for them, and Sun Weiguo had a close conversation with the puppet army, which made them extremely admired.

"Sun Weiguo is definitely going to be taken to the 386 Brigade by me, and he is qualified as a brigade commander. When you come here, don't you have anything to explain to Comrade Weiguo? ”

Brigade Commander Chen looked at Company Commander Huang and Company Commander Dong, and he hurriedly asked.

"By the way, the brigade commander, the regiment commander, and the battalion commander Sun sent the mortar company and machine gun company of their county brigade over, and he said that it might be needed here."

Company Commander Huang hurriedly said, this is Sun Weiguo woke up and learned that Company Commander Huang and Company Commander Dong were going to return to the army, so he sent a mortar company and a machine gun company over.

He knew very well the situation of the Eighth Route Army, and he knew that the Eighth Route Army was very short of heavy weapons, and it was impossible to attack the county without heavy weapons.

"With these two companies, our 772nd Regiment will be able to take Pingding County." When Deputy Regiment Commander Wang heard that there was a heavy weapon, an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Commander Ye, immediately gather the soldiers who can use artillery and light and heavy machine guns, and Pingding County will take it for me as soon as possible." Brigade Commander Chen immediately gave the order.

"Yes, Brigadier." Head Ye immediately saluted and said, and he and Deputy Head Wang immediately walked outside.

With this batch of heavy weapons, the siege capacity of the 772nd Regiment increased a lot, and the troops began to attack.

The Japanese troops on the city wall were originally very relaxed, but they had seen the embarrassment of these Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army did not have heavy weapons, which made the second brigade of the 80th Wing of the Japanese army garrisoning Pingding County finally relaxed.

Wang Mazi also organized traitors to assist the Japanese army in garrisoning Pingding County, and these traitors were like the sons of the devil soldiers to supply ammunition to the Japanese army.

"Wang Sang, you can rest assured, our two wings of the Imperial Japanese Army have begun to reinforce here, as long as you help us defend the county seat, you will have a great credit. The troops of the Eighth Route Army did not have heavy weapons, and it was simply a fool's dream that they wanted to conquer the county seat. ”

The captain of the second brigade stood on the city wall, and he looked outside the county town with a telescope.

Seeing that many troops of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be preparing to continue the siege, Captain Shaozuo showed a contemptuous smile on his face.

He felt that it was impossible for the troops of the Eighth Route Army to capture the county seat of Pingding, and in the eyes of Captain Shaozuo, the attack of the Eighth Route Army was meaningless.

"That is, the Taijun fought bravely, how could those Eighth Route Army troops like Hanako be the opponents of the Japanese Imperial Army, Taijun, I believe that the warriors of the Imperial Army will be able to completely annihilate this group of Eighth Route Army." Wang Mazi accompanied the captain of the Japanese army, and he said with a flattering face.

Captain Shaozuo nodded with satisfaction, he stretched out his right hand, ready to pat Wang Mazi on the shoulder.

But at this time, the sound of artillery began to be heard outside the county seat.

Immediately after that, the shells began to fall towards the city wall, and after Wang Mazi heard the cannon, he was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot and sat on the ground.

Captain Shaozo just wanted to dodge, but he was a step too late, and shrapnel hit him directly in the neck.

Before he could react, his body fell to the ground limply, and Captain Shaozuo was killed on the spot.

Fierce shells continued to hit the city walls, and one after another shells began to explode on the walls.

The Japanese troops paid a heavy price in casualties, and they did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would have so many artillery.

The mortar company of Stone is no longer what it used to be, and the mortar is connected to the puppet army's twelve 150MM mortars, and now the mortar company has more than a dozen mortars.

The machine gun company captured a lot of Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns, but unfortunately the number of shooters was insufficient, otherwise if you bring all those heavy machine guns over, the devil soldiers will see what it means to lift a stone and hit their own feet.

"Fight back, fight back quickly, don't let them get close to the walls."

Seeing the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army approaching the city wall under the cover of artillery and machine guns, a Japanese squadron leader brandished a saber and roared loudly.
