In Suochun Town, Pingding County, the regimental headquarters of the nameless regiment has been established in Suochun Town, and at this time, in the regiment headquarters, the regiment commander Wang Tieniu was guarding the radio station, and he was anxiously waiting for the telegram from the brigade headquarters.

Previously, Sun Weiguo dispatched the First Advance Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the First Artillery Regiment to fight in the southern Hebei region, but only the Unknown Regiment and the Sixth Cavalry Regiment were left at the garrison to serve as defensive tasks.

Needless to say, the Sixth Cavalry Regiment is the baby bump of the headquarters, and an ace unit like the Sixth Cavalry Regiment to fight against the bandit puppet army is simply a waste of gasoline for the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, but for the officers and soldiers of the Unknown Regiment, they feel that the heads of the headquarters think that they can't even beat the bandit puppet army.

Participating in the Pingding County operation this time, the whole of the unknown regiment expressed their determination, and they planned to perform well in this operation to impress the heads of the headquarters.

"Is the radio station broken, why is there no movement now, it's almost seven o'clock, why is there no news from the brigade headquarters?"

Wang Tieniu looked at the time of his pocket watch, he complained and shouted at the communication soldier, and the expression on his face was not very good.

"Regiment commander, the radio is not broken, and the brigade headquarters has not called back yet." The communications soldier immediately replied.

"Regiment commander, is the brigade headquarters waiting for the troops of the first regiment to assemble, the troops of the second and fourth battalions of the first regiment are still on the march, they may not be able to get here for a while, and now the brigade headquarters has not issued a combat mission for a long time, and the brigade commander should be waiting for the main force of the first regiment to return before deploying the combat mission."

Tan Tianyu, the deputy head of the Nameless Regiment, looked at Wang Tieniu, and said with a helpless expression on his face.

Compared with the troops of the First Advance Regiment and the Independent Regiment, the Anonymous Regiment is missing a battalion, but the officers at all levels of the Anonymous Regiment are clear that whether it is the commander Sun Weiguo, the brigade commander Fu Tao, and even every officer in the Sixth Army Division, they are all suspicious of the Unknown Regiment.

Ji Haotian's Supplementary First Battalion and Luo Chenxi's Supplementary Second Battalion withdrew without authorization during the previous operation in Guanshan Town, which dealt a great blow to the troops who coordinated the operation, and even almost affected the entire battle situation.

Even though they are now remaining in the divisional establishment of the Sixth Army, their numbers have been cancelled, and even the number that the Eighth Route Army was originally going to give them has been changed to an unknown regiment, and the nameless regiment is a unit without a number, which is a great shame for a combat unit.

Wang Tieniu can be regarded as a tiger general under Sun Weiguo, he can fight and cause trouble, this time Sun Weiguo transferred him to the nameless regiment as the head of the regiment, this is an experience for him, and Wang Tieniu also intends to fight for a regular number for the nameless regiment through his own efforts.

"Regiment commander, the brigade headquarters called back, and the brigade commander asked us to stand by and wait for the brigade headquarters' combat order."

While the leaders of the Anonymous Regiment were pondering, the signal corps received a telegram from the headquarters of the New Second Brigade, and the signal corps immediately reported the contents of the telegram.

After Wang Tieniu and the others heard the report of the communication soldiers, the expressions on their faces changed, and they naturally knew that Tan Tianyu's guess had been verified.

The headquarters of the new 2nd Brigade did not issue an operational order, and it was obvious that the brigade headquarters intended to wait until the main force of the 1st Regiment arrived before deploying for operation, which was a distrust of the unknown regiment.

"Regiment commander, Xiao Yan's eighth battalion has set up a defensive position within our defensive range, and one of their battalions has simply pulled out the defensive range of a regiment, isn't this a clear distrust of us, they are all brigade troops, and they are too bullying to do this."

After Wang Tieniu and the others heard the report of the communication soldiers, the expressions on their faces were both helpless and sad, at this time, Ji Haotian, the commander of the first battalion, hurriedly ran to the regiment headquarters, Ji Haotian saluted Wang Tieniu directly, and then he said with displeasure on his face.

"Give me a call from the regimental headquarters." Wang Tieniu immediately ordered the communication soldiers, and the pre-group approach made Wang Tieniu angry.

At the same time, the village of Tanitou in Suoshi Town, which is located on the east side of Suoquan Town, is only five kilometers away from the Momoshiro Brigade Headquarters in Kuno Village.

After the troops of the unknown regiment were stationed in Suochun Town, Wang Tieniu immediately ordered Luo Chenxi to supplement the second battalion to garrison the positions in and outside the town, and several villages belonging to Suochun Town were garrisoned by Ji Haotian to supplement the troops of the first battalion, and at this time stationed in Gutou Village, Suochun Town, the second battalion was supplemented by the fourth company headquarters, as well as a machine gun platoon and an infantry platoon.

The troops that supplemented the Fourth Company are actively building positions in Gutou Village, and the officers and men are also preparing to show their skills and thus wash away the shame of their troops.

But in the troops of the Unknown Regiment, there are still some people with emotions, these people are all left behind by Luo Chenxi and Ji Haotian's troops, and they have opinions about Sun Weiguo in their hearts.

"The regiment commander has become the deputy commander here, our good regular troops have become supplementary troops, what Sun Weiguo thinks about is his descendant troops, what combat effectiveness do the puppet army bandits have, Sun Weiguo took the pre-first regiment and the independent regiment when he beat them, and now the little devil is dispatched, he immediately transferred us up, isn't this using us as cannon fodder?"

Someone in the garrison of Gutou Village muttered softly, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Sun Weiguo.

"Boom, boom!" It was at this time that the artillery wing of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese melee began to launch covering fire on the town of Lock Spring.

ONE AFTER ANOTHER, SHELLS FIRED AT THE TOWN, TWENTY-FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, TWELVE 75MM FIELD GUNS, TWELVE 150MM HOWITZERS, AND FORTY-FOUR ARTILLERY GUNS.

Shells fell one after another on various positions in the town of Lockspring, and the piercing explosions continued to sound, and from a distance, patches of gunpowder smoke began to rise, and the air began to become scorching.

ON THE FRONT-LINE POSITION IN GUTOU VILLAGE, A SQUAD OF THIRTEEN SOLDIERS WAS STILL BUILDING FORTIFICATIONS, BUT A 150MM SHELL FELL DIRECTLY ON THE FORTIFICATIONS THEY HAD NOT COMPLETED, A HUGE EXPLOSION SOUNDED, AND THE BODIES OF FOUR SOLDIERS WERE THROWN HIGH INTO THE AIR, AND FIVE SOLDIERS WERE SHOCKED TO DEATH ON THE SPOT, AND AS THE SHRAPNEL BEGAN TO FLY, THE BODIES OF THE FOUR SOLDIERS WERE COMPLETELY TORN APART BY SHRAPNEL.

A shell from a 150mm howitzer easily killed all the soldiers of a squad, and a huge crater appeared on the ground.

The shells continued to fire for half an hour, and more than 200 shells of different calibers were all hit in the town of Suoquan.

Gutou Village is not very far from Dongjiao Village, which is naturally the focus of the Japanese artillery, at this time Gutou Village has become a ruin, a machine gun platoon and an infantry platoon have not officially engaged with the devil soldiers, they have lost a Type 92 heavy machine gun, a 60MM mortar, and the infantry has paid more than 20 casualties, and the defenders stationed in Gutou Village have basically been disabled.
