In the end, this unit was carefully selected and painstakingly cultivated by the Japanese army, no matter what kind of mistakes were made in strategy and tactics. However, the quality of individual soldiers and group tactics have indeed been painstaking. Coupled with the inherent tenacity of the Japanese army and the unique resilience of that force, the military literacy of its troops can be described as quite high.

After a fierce battle during this period, the entire enemy was killed by 1,000 and self-inflicted losses by 800. It is true that most of the enemy forces have been eliminated now, but the losses of their own guard units are just as heavy. The two and a half companies of the guard troops, not counting the three squads that remained at the other city gates, now have less than one company left.

In this case, judging from the combat effectiveness of this Japanese army, after finding out what he wanted, Yang Zhen did not want to let the troops suffer unnecessary losses. In addition, the sky had gradually begun to darken, and Yang Zhen did not want to delay the battle until dark, giving the Japanese army a chance to fish in troubled waters and break through. So he simply ordered an artillery company to be brought in and use shells to deal with the remaining enemy troops.

It's just that Yang Zhen didn't expect that his order would go down. Not only did the artillery arrive in less than half an hour, but the outlying troops even came with a whole battalion of fully staffed infantry. And the leader of the team is the one who should stay on the periphery as a guard at the moment, the boss of the regiment department himself.

Seeing Yang Zhen standing at the city gate in a sandbag fortification, except for the iron-faced boss's face was very unpleasant. The regiment commander and political commissar of Jin Chaji, who was beside him, were so depressed that they didn't even dare to look at Yang Zhen. It was obvious that the regiment commander and political commissar, who had already grasped the situation, already knew that it was their own troops who let the enemy troops go in a daze, and made a mistake that almost did not pierce the sky.

Before dividing the troops with the main force, the deputy commander of the military region who led the team repeatedly told himself that he must cooperate well with the guard troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation and do a good job in the security and protection of Renqiu County. But such a large Japanese special forces team touched the north gate of Renqiu County right under their noses.

If it weren't for the anti-union security unit, the vigilance was particularly high, and the anomaly of this Japanese special force was found outside the north gate. Once this Japanese special team is allowed to touch the county seat of Renqiu, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although the two of them have little actual combat experience, they are not recruits. The consequences of being touched by the Japanese army to the command headquarters are very clear to the two people.

It's just that they don't understand why the Japanese offensive is so fierce, but the Anti-Japanese Union has always refused to reinforce themselves. As soon as the gunfire rang out at the north gate of Renqiu, the two people who felt that something was wrong immediately gathered a reinforced company and immediately prepared to reinforce the battlefield at the north gate. After all, the importance of Renqiu County at this moment, the two of them are quite clear.

Although it was not clear what happened to Renqiu County for a while, it immediately mobilized troops and quickly reinforced. At the same time, the deputy regimental commander and chief of staff who remained behind were ordered to immediately notify the troops in other directions, closely watch for any abnormalities in their own areas, and immediately assemble two more companies to follow up.

But when the two of them were hurriedly concentrating their troops, they didn't want to receive a telegram from the front finger of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the city, asking their troops to strictly hold the existing positions and never send reinforcements to Renqiu County. Looking at the signature of the Anti-Union No. 1 at the end of the telegram, although the two people were puzzled, they finally chose to carry out the order.

Even the boss of their regimental headquarters resolutely disagreed with their implementation of the orders of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and insisted that they should immediately reinforce them. Fortunately, Yang Zhen had already thought that the boss would definitely make a move, and before going to the north gate to take over the command, he specially sent a staff officer with a handwritten letter of his own, and rushed out of the city from the east gate to the regiment headquarters. Arrive in time and persuade the boss not to make up his mind easily.

Although the boss finally listened to the persuasion, Yang Zhen's safety always worried him. During the entire battle, the boss stood on a roof outside the battlefield, always observing the battlefield closely with a high-powered telescope. And let a combat staff officer beside him, with a radio station, covertly observe the outside of the battlefield, and report all the battle conditions at any time. So every move on the battlefield outside the north gate, the boss is very clear.

It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that the sneak attack of the Japanese army was not only thwarted, but also that the anti-coalition forces had completed the encirclement of it, that the boss was a little relieved. But after receiving the telegram that Yang Zhen transferred artillery to participate in the battle, the boss still led the team to the north gate in person despite persuasion. When he saw Yang Zhen actually standing at the north gate in person, and it was obvious that this battle was personally commanded by him, the boss was really angry.

Faced with the anger forcibly suppressed by the boss, Yang Zhen shook his head. handed over the transferred artillery to a combat staff officer beside him, and after a few words of explanation in a low voice. Only then did he turn his head, looked at the boss and smiled: "Boss, why did you personally lead the team here?" It's not a safe place right now. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's words, the boss didn't save face for him at all, and said in a very cold tone: "You also know that it's not safe here?" I thought you thought you were thinking this was Harbin in the Northeast? Don't forget, you are the military commander of this battle, not the commander of a certain battalion-level battlefield. ”

"Don't tell me, there's really no one around you who can replace you here. Those combat staff officers around you are so incompetent that they can't even report on the situation of the battle. Don't tell me that all walkie-talkies and telephones in your unit are out of order, leaving you to be on the front line. ”

"You are the leader of an army on the battlefield, and your safety is directly related to the victory or defeat of this battle. You should be clear about the truth that a snake can't do without a head. Why take the risk so easily? After the incident in southern Anhui, the central authorities have repeatedly criticized you. Why can't you just take a lesson? ”

"Also, something so big happened, why didn't you send troops to reinforce it? I transferred them here to warn your headquarters, not to be a field tour group. The Japanese army that attacked Renqiu this time was indeed not an ordinary Japanese army, and I also saw this. For this regiment now deployed on the outskirts of Renqiu, these Japanese troops can be said to be an extremely vicious group of wolves. Throw this regiment in, and what awaits them will be an extremely bloody battle. ”

"But as a unit on guard, when its own guard targets are attacked, its own guard force can only sit back and watch. Comrade Yang Zhen, have you considered what kind of harm this practice will bring to the future growth of this army? What you do means distrust of them. ”

"I know that you are strict with your troops, and there are no weak soldiers under strong generals. I also know what kind of losses will be brought to them by throwing this new unit into the battlefield in the face of such a special unit of the Japanese army. But again, jade can't be cut into a tool. The real fist troops are all fought. A child who has been hiding in his mother's arms will never grow up. ”

"If you do this, it's not good for their growth. You are also a person who has led troops for many years, and you should know that the biggest blow to the morale of a unit is not how hard the battle it endured, not how many casualties it endured, but the distrust of their superiors. ”

Regarding the boss's accusation, Yang Zhen only smiled and said: "Boss, it's not that I don't transfer them to reinforcements." You have also seen the situation of the Japanese army. According to my judgment, this Japanese army should be a high-level Japanese army, imitating the special forces formed by the special forces of the Anti-United Nations. Although it can only be regarded as half a scoop of water, it is not something that a new army can handle. ”

"For such a force, even if heavy troops are mobilized to encircle and suppress, it may not be able to solve it in a short time. The best solution is to take the special for the special. They were unfamiliar with the situation, and the enemy troops were wearing our uniforms and equipped with anti-coalition weapons. Rushing them into it can easily cause our own chaos. ”

"This Japanese army, although it has not yet mastered the real theory of special operations, at most it has only touched the threshold. However, the Japanese army's sweep of the Taihang Mountains in 41 tells us that once they are allowed to escape, the destructive power will still be quite amazing. ”

"And if this battle allows most of them to slip out, it will not only take a lot of our energy and cause serious damage to our rear. Most importantly, it will increase the confidence of the Japanese army in this mode of operation. And once the true power of this mode of combat is discovered, the Japanese army will do whatever it takes to build and develop this force. ”

"With the country's current national strength, if we put even a small part of our strategic focus on this, it will be a serious threat to our future. The Japanese army itself has a set of very effective tactical reconnaissance methods, and in many operations, it has already brought us a lot of losses. ”

"If the Japanese army is allowed to establish a special operations force at a strategic level to carry out long-distance decapitation and large-depth destruction against us, then the consequences will be conceivable. The boss only has a thousand days to be a thief in this world, but there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. We cannot put our vast numbers of living forces in our depth and not be able to send them where they are needed. ”

"My point of view is to nip all dangers in the bud as much as possible. Whether it is for the sake of the war on the front line or for the safety of our headquarters at all levels in the future, we must do to root out the idea of developing and strengthening such units of the Japanese army. ”

"Although the number of my guard units is small, they are all trained by special forces in special methods. Although it is not, it is equivalent to half a special forces. For this special mode of operation, there is a certain familiarity and mastery. In addition, the small area of the battlefield and the quality of the Japanese troops participating in the war put in too many troops, which is irresponsible to their own troops. ”

"Boss, I didn't send them reinforcements, it was after special careful consideration, and definitely not because I didn't trust my own troops. In some battles, it is not about the number of troops. Let's not talk about whether this regiment is suitable for this kind of operation and whether it can cope with this special mode of operation. Even if all of them are transferred, they will not necessarily be the opponents of this Japanese army. ”

"I can't risk letting this Japanese unit run out and endanger our rear in order to train a new unit. Boss, I know very well what kind of troops my own troops are. I also know in my heart where the true power of such a force lies. ”

"Once this Japanese army, which is even half a scoop of water, but also has begun to take shape, what kind of harm will be caused by slipping out of our noses, I understand better. Maybe even the brother forces would be dissatisfied with me, but I stuck with my decision. This kind of battle to bring them up, it means more than just a massacre. What's more, in the face of this new combat mode for them, it will really delay the big thing. ”

"And I personally took over the command of this operation in order to find out how far the Japanese army has developed in terms of the concept of special operations, so as to find a way to deal with it in the shortest possible time. I'm really worried about not seeing it with my own eyes. Otherwise, boss, are you really not afraid of death? I don't want to overturn my boat in this gutter. ”
