Chapter 643: Let the number disappear
Fierce fighting in Xiyang County is still ongoing, and the battle in Lijiazhuang Town is also underway.
The 17th Brigade of the Japanese Army had been driven out of Lijiazhuang Town by the 1st Battalion of the 1st Advance Regiment, and the troops of the 1st Battalion successfully captured Lijiazhuang Town.
At present, the 16th and 18th Brigades of the Japanese Army have been reinforced from Zhanshang Town and Zhitou Town respectively, but the Japanese Army's three infantry brigades and 12 infantry squadrons have been completely surrounded and annihilated, and only seven infantry squadrons can continue to fight, and three machine gun squadrons have also been knocked out of one machine gun squadron, and the three artillery squadrons have all been wiped out.
The Japanese army became very dangerous, and the three captains of the Shaozo Brigade began to meet together, and they began to work out a plan to break out.
At this time, the Japanese troops had been divided by the first regiment of troops, and what the three Shaozuo captains had to do at present was to assemble the divided troops together.
"The first battalion of the 1st Advance Regiment continues to garrison Lijiazhuang Town, and the Japanese army now has four infantry squadrons in the area west of Lijiazhuang Town, three infantry squadrons in the area east of Lijiazhuang Town, and the Japanese troops in the area east of Lijiazhuang Town are relatively small, and the number of artillery and machine guns is also relatively small, so we will concentrate our troops first to eat this Japanese army."
In the regimental headquarters of the first regiment, Sun Ziyuan and others immediately made arrangements according to the situation on the front line.
At present, the main forces of the 16th and 17th Japanese brigades are in the vicinity of Yangjiayu Village, and a small number of troops of the 18th and 17th brigades of the Japanese army are deployed in the vicinity of Huanglong Village.
The number of Japanese troops in Huanglong Village was only more than 800 people, and they were armed with eight heavy machine guns and six 90MM mortars.
However, after the main force of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment arrived here in Lijiazhuang Town, Yin Jinshan, the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and Ge Haifeng, the deputy commander of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, immediately met with Sun Ziyuan, the commander of the First Cavalry Regiment, and Wang Tieniu, the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Regiment.
After Yin Jin learned about the situation in Xiyang County, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, even if Yin Jinshan was his brother, he couldn't help but scold.
Yin Jin immediately reported the situation to the brigade headquarters, and at the same time, he immediately transferred Zhang Wenbin's third battalion troops to quickly reinforce Xiyang County.
Yin Jin felt that it was too dangerous for Sun Weiguo and Jibu Ying to stay in Xiyang County, but where could he know about the situation in Xiyang County.
"The little devils are just a bunch of brutes, there is nothing they won't do, Commander Yin, now the main forces of the two regiments of you and me are gathered here, the Japanese army has only more than 2,000 people, we have more than 5,000 people, and there are artillery to help in the battle, there is no need to wait for later, today we will let the Japanese army independently mixed into the fifth brigade completely disappear in the Japanese army establishment."
Wang Tieniu, the deputy commander of the First Advance Regiment, heard that the Japanese army was threatening the troops of the New Second Brigade, and he clenched his fist with his right hand and slapped it on the table.
The troops of the 1st Advance Regiment were initially set to annihilate the Japanese army and defeat most of the Japanese army, but with the arrival of the main force of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, the ambitions of the officers and men became greater.
And after learning about the despicable methods of the Japanese army, the officers were filled with indignation, and they all wanted to annihilate the Japanese army and give Sun Weiguo a big gift.
"The brigade commander underestimated the combat effectiveness of our troops, if our two regiments can't eat more than 2,000 troops, we are ashamed of so many sophisticated weapons and ammunition, but I don't know what the situation is on the brigade commander's side, the brigade commander's meaning is obvious, our two regiments are deployed here, and he must hope that we will annihilate the Japanese army."
Ge Haifeng, the deputy commander of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, also hurriedly said, and he looked at Yin Jinshan.
"I didn't say it, after today, there will be no number of the Fifth Brigade in the Japanese army." Sun Ziyuan, the head of the pre-first regiment, swore and said.
"With so many troops, if we can't completely annihilate this Japanese army, it will be a shame." Yin Jinshan also expressed his attitude.
The commander and deputy commander of the 6th Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Pre-1st Regiment made a decision, and they were determined to completely annihilate the 16th, 17th, and 18th Brigades deployed by the Japanese army in the vicinity of Lijiazhuang Town.
Yin Jin, deputy director of the General Staff Office, also expressed his support, and the group began to formulate a plan for encirclement and annihilation.
With the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment participating in the battle, the 1st Regiment did not have to worry that the Japanese army would flee, even if the Japanese army ran fast on two legs, they could not outrun the tanks and cavalry.
Pingding County, Zhangzhuang Town, New Second Brigade Headquarters.
After Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong received Yin Jin's message, their faces became solemn, and their eyes looked at the map, their brows furrowed tightly.
"The brigade commander is in danger, the Japanese army will deploy at least one infantry brigade in the county seat, and they also have artillery, the infantry battalion cannot use heavy weapons, it is difficult for them to conquer the county seat, political commissar, now we are too late to deploy anything, unless the brigade commander can conquer the county seat."
Looking at the location of Xiyang County, Zhao Lerong said worriedly, his brows furrowed tightly.
A battalion of the Jibu Battalion used heavy weapons to help attack the county town garrisoned by the Japanese army, which had no chance of winning at all.
"Wei Guo is too impulsive, how can he make such a decision, if he has any accidents, what can the new second brigade do." Shen Weidai's eyebrows furrowed, and there was a complaining expression on her beautiful face.
Shen Wei, who has always been calm, showed the posture of her little daughter, and there was deep worry in her eyes, which was not a worry between comrades-in-arms, but a worry between men and women.
"Political commissar, chief of staff, the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat has temporarily stopped advancing, their engineering units are building roads, and at the latest at one o'clock in the afternoon, their troops will be able to reach the county seat."
Qin Xianliang, the chief of the staff office, came to the brigade headquarters and reported the telegram he had just received.
"Director Qin, this is a message from Deputy Director Yin Jin, take a look." Shen Wei handed the message sent by Yin Jin to Qin Xianliang.
After taking the message and looking at it, Qin Xianliang's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong in astonishment.
"It's too risky, how could the brigade commander make such an arrangement." Qin Xianliang said puzzled.
People who were not in Xiyang County would not understand the situation at that time, and they all felt that Sun Weiguo's approach was too risky.
But if they knew what was going on, they would know that this was the best arrangement.
"Director Qin, you go to the front line immediately, unify the command of the 6th Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Pre-1st Regiment, your first task is to ensure the safety of the country."
Shen Wei hesitated for a moment, she looked at Qin Xianliang and said in a serious tone.
"Yes, Commissar." Qin Xianliang saluted Shen Wei, and without the slightest delay, he hurriedly walked outside.
After coming outside, Qin Xianliang took several guards and immediately rode to Xiyang County to command the battle.
