Commander Qian of the 1st Independent Regiment and Zheng Jingjing of the artillery company quickly rushed to the regiment headquarters, and the two officers immediately saluted when they saw Sun Weiguo.

Looking at Sun Weiguo in front of them, they knew that Sun Weiguo called them over, and he must have a combat mission to hand over to them.

"There is a high probability that the North Gate will be breached by the Japanese, and the first battalion is in a dangerous situation. Commander Qian, I need your troops to be thrown into battle. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Head Qian, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Commander Qian straightened his waist, and he immediately replied: "Commander Sun, all the officers and soldiers of our First Independent Regiment are willing to obey your deployment. ”

Hearing Captain Qian's answer, Sun Weiguo showed a relieved smile on his face, he was most worried that Captain Qian would not cooperate with him like Captain Li.

The Jin Sui Army is Yan Xishan's starting force, for the Jin Sui Army troops, Yan Xishan is full of capital, all the weapons and ammunition produced by the Taiyuan Arsenal are equipped with the Jin Sui Army troops, and Yan Xishan can also set up a special artillery regiment.

You must know that only the troops of the Central Army in the whole of China can form some artillery regiments.

The 1st Independent Regiment has more than 2,000 troops, a mortar company, a battalion machine artillery company, and although the equipment of the 1st Independent Regiment is not as good as that of the 1st Reserve Regiment, it is very outstanding among the various units in the 2nd Theater of Operations.

Commander Qian was willing to accept orders to cooperate in the battle, which was good news for Sun Weiguo.

Looking in the direction of the East City Gate, Sun Weiguo had a contemplative expression on his face.

Now the most needed support is the North City Gate, but Sun Weiguo plans to surprise and launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army at the East City Gate.

The attack on the East Gate was carried out by the 1st and 2nd Japanese Brigades, which had paid some casualties in the previous battles with the 1st Regiment, and now they were only more than 1,000 people engaged in the battle, and after the battle with the 3rd Battalion, these 1,000 people were very tired.

The 1st Independent Regiment had more than 2,000 men, and they were a new force, and with this new force in battle, even if they could not completely annihilate this Japanese army, it was very likely that they would be defeated.

"The 1st Separate Regiment, the 3rd Battalion, the 1st Brigade, the Guards Company launched a counterattack from the East Gate. The 1st Independent Regiment launched a counterattack from the front, and the Guards Company, the 3rd Battalion, and the 1st Brigade counterattacked from the right to make sure that the Japanese force was routed. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at the map, with a solemn expression on his face, he pointed to the east gate of Loufu County, and said in a stern tone.

The personnel in the regiment headquarters couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they looked at Sun Weiguo incredulously.

You must know that the most needed rescue now is here at the North City Gate, and Sun Weiguo now chooses to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army at the East City Gate, which is obviously unreasonable.

"Regiment commander, the situation at the North City Gate is very critical, the city wall has been blown out by Japanese shells, and the Japanese army may enter the city from here at any time. Is it time to put the reserves here at the North City Gate, otherwise once the North City Gate is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Chief of Staff Zhu Jianwei looked at Sun Weiguo and said softly.

Tang Chunhua looked at Sun Weiguo, he still had a certain level, he felt that Sun Weiguo would not be of the slightest help to the defenders of the North City Gate if he did this, but Tang Chunhua had contact with Sun Weiguo several times, and he knew that Sun Weiguo was not the kind of officer who did not have any command level.

He knew very well that Sun Weiguo must have his intentions in doing this, but Tang Chunhua didn't know what Sun Weiguo was thinking.

"I have my own measure, this time I want to let the little devils know that our Chinese troops are not soft persimmons, I want them to know that we are powerful."

Sun Weiguo tidied up his military uniform, he put on his military hat, picked up the Thomson submachine gun on the table, and walked out directly.

Commander Qian of the 1st Independent Regiment, Liu Jingnuma of the Guard Company, and Zheng Jingjing of the Artillery Company, they followed behind Sun Weiguo and immediately left the regimental headquarters.

"Political commissar, you know the character of the regiment commander, since he decided to personally lead the team to fight, I'm afraid he won't listen to anyone who persuades him."

Seeing that Shen Wei wanted to follow him, Zhao Lerong said with a smile, he knew Sun Weiguo very well, so he said such a thing.

"Chief of Staff Zhao, what are you planning to do with Wei Guo?" Shen Wei said suspiciously, her eyes looked towards the map.

Staring at the map for a while, Shen Wei had a solemn expression on her face, and she was vaguely aware of what Sun Weiguo wanted to do.

At this time, Sun Ziyuan's third battalion was only able to fight more than 100 soldiers, three Makqin heavy machine guns, and three mortars were all destroyed, and Sun Ziyuan himself was also injured.

The county brigade, which had been temporarily organized as the first brigade, also began to fight, and they finally barely withstood the Japanese attack.

After some battles of more than 1,000 devil soldiers of the First and Second Brigades, only more than 800 of them were able to continue fighting, and only 18 heavy machine guns of the two machine gun squadrons could continue to be used, and only two of the four infantry guns could continue to be used.

However, the Japanese offensive did not weaken, but became more and more fierce, and the devil soldiers launched a fierce attack on the front-line positions regardless of casualties.

"Battalion Commander Sun, the casualties in your battalion are too great, you better go down and rest for a while, leave it to us here, as long as there is one person in our brigade, we will not let the devil soldiers rush over from here."

The captain of the first brigade came to the front of Sun Ziyuan, the commander of the third battalion, and looked at Sun Ziyuan, who was constantly bleeding blood from his chest, and the captain said with a worried face.

"It doesn't matter, we can still continue to fight, the order given to me by the regiment headquarters is to hold the position here, I can't leave here."

Sun Ziyuan's face was pale, he looked at the captain, and said with a calm expression.

His chest was cut by shrapnel, causing a wound, but he simply bandaged it and continued to command the operation, he did not go to the city for treatment because of this, Sun Ziyuan stayed with the wound to command the operation, which made the morale of the officers and soldiers of the third battalion high.

At this time, Sun Weiguo came to the frontline with the officers.

Seeing Sun Weiguo coming, Sun Ziyuan and the captain looked at Sun Weiguo, but they didn't salute.

You can't salute on the battlefield, which will attract Japanese riflemen to shoot.

"After a while the artillery company fires shells, your troops quickly move to the right, and the 1st Independent Regiment will attack from the front, and this time we will at least crush this Japanese force."

Sun Weiguo summoned Sun Ziyuan and the first captain, and looking at their eyes, Sun Wei gave an order Chinese and solemnly.

"Yes, Captain." Sun Ziyuan and the first captain immediately saluted and said.

The divisions began to prepare for a counteroffensive, and the artillery company of the 1st Independent Regiment had already joined Zheng Jingjing's artillery company.
