182. Chapter 182 Attack on Xinxian County(2/3)

"He told me that in the Preparatory 11th Regiment, there is no such thing as absolute error!"

"If we can't get results and the troops suffer heavy losses, then it's not easy for me to get out of here unless the officer is unqualified."

In the seventh camp, Chen Ziyun discovered many problems.

When he saw that Zhang Fuyun's battalion headquarters wanted to leave the front line directly, he was not polite at all, and mistakenly scolded Zhang Fuyin directly.

Zhang Fuyan lowered his head and remained silent, looking like a dead pig afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

Chen Ziyun was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him and directly took over the command of the 7th Battalion to conduct the battle himself.

At five o'clock in the morning, the Japs attack began.

Still following the old routine, the artillery launched a bombardment, firing grenades one after another towards the high ground.

The 15th Field Battalion, which had not received any blow before, was directly responsible for the frontal attack.

The 14th Field Battalion divided its troops and carried out detours from both sides in an attempt to disperse and prepare the defensive firepower of the 11th Regiment.

Chen Ziyun had been prepared for this by mistake, and the troops on both sides began to fall into a fierce battle.

The deafening sound of gunfire continued in the area west of Xin County.

The 48th Independent Brigade directly launched a decisive battle with the Independent 4th Mixed Brigade.

The 358th Regiment, a field artillery company directly under the brigade, prepared the main force of the 11th Regiment and stationed in the highlands west of Hesuo Town, Qicun Town and other areas for defense.

The Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade will deploy five field brigades and deploy a large number of artillery to carry out attack operations respectively.

There was smoke everywhere on that battlefield, and dense bullets and artillery shells were fired continuously.

Major General Mitake Tsuda, commander of the Little Japanese Brigade, took personal command, and combat orders were passed on one after another.

Time is passing, and the sky is getting dark unconsciously.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the sound of gunfire gradually stopped.

In Qicun Town, the headquarters of the eighth brigade of the Yue Army was formed independently.

The Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff stood in front of the map, and he marked it based on reports from various ministries.

The battle map is here, and the positions of the troops on both sides are gradually clearly marked.

Mitake Tsuda stood in front of the map with a saber on his shoulder, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The battle has progressed to this point, and they have to admit that what they are facing at this time is indeed an elite force."

"They have a very strong will to fight and have a certain level of technical and tactical skills."

"In terms of defensive operations, they performed very well, and their capabilities were almost the same as their field troops."

"It's really surprising to encounter such troops in Jin Province."

"Especially if they don't attack the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, that's simply unimaginable."

"But no matter how tenacious they are, they must seek to completely annihilate them."

After thinking for a while, Mitake Tsuda slowly spoke with a complicated expression on his face.

Do the little devils have a very strange character? Compared with the strong, they have always been able to give them enough respect.

But if they treat the weak, they will not have any sympathy, but will treat them cruelly.

The 48th Independent Brigade fought tenaciously, which touched Mitake Tsuda.

"The Qi War has been going on so far, and they rarely see the Jinsui Army troops among the Jinsui Army troops that can block their attacks one after another."

"The overall weapons and equipment of that unit are well-equipped, and they can implement pretty perfect defensive tactics."

"Qu Zhongqiu's point is that their defense is very inaccurate, which almost offsets all their advantages."

"Brigade Commander Ge Dong, judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for them to completely annihilate them."

"Even if they want to inflict heavy damage on them, it would be difficult to do so. The only thing they can do now is to repel them."

"When Jiedong comes to fight, they must adjust their attack tactics, otherwise it will be difficult for them to achieve results."

The Chief of Staff looked at the map and made another suggestion.

Up to now, the Moon Army has been independently mixed into the Fourth Brigade, which has five field brigades in the east, directly under the cavalry and artillery teams.

As well as the eight Liao-made artillery pieces assigned to them, all of them participated in the battle. Will these troops have more than 7,000 troops at full strength?

But until now, the number of casualties in the Moon Army has exceeded 1,000!

That was almost the strength of a brigade, and those were very few seriously injured.

Such a loss is not insignificant.

Mitake Tsuda and the Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel both knew that if they could not quickly repel the 48th Independent Brigade in front of them and the two sides fought a battle, their losses would be even greater.

And as the mobile combat unit of the First Army, they do not need to perform other combat tasks.

Being pinned there for a long time will have a huge impact on the overall situation of the First Army's deployment.

Tsuda Mitake and others began to discuss at the brigade headquarters, and they needed to change the combat plan.

At the same time at the high ground, Chu Yunfei also held a combat meeting immediately.

At nine o'clock, Chen Ziyun also headed north and attended Chu Yunfei's combat meeting.

As of now, the 358th Regiment has more than 3,000 troops, and there have been more than 1,000 casualties.

Due to the continuous artillery support operations, the six Jinzos were unable to provide high-intensity artillery support.

Firstly, they don't have much ammunition, and secondly, the quality of the weapons made by Jin is generally not very good.

Jin-made weapons imitated moon-style weapons on a large scale. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see whether Yan Laoxi had received support from the Japs before.

The little devils have long had ideas about that land, and what they give is naturally not the best.

The Jin-made heavy machine gun was copied from the Type 38 heavy machine gun of the Yue Army, and now the Yue Army has used the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

The Type 38 heavy machine gun is a replacement for the Three-year-old heavy machine gun, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun is a replacement for the Three-year-old heavy machine gun.

This shows that the little devil has sinister intentions.

"The total casualties of the entire brigade are about to exceed 2,000. This shows that the little devil is absolutely right and not a soft persimmon."

"They want to defeat the independent mixed fourth brigade. It will be difficult."

"Of course, that battle was a wake-up call for them. I'm afraid none of you here will have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy again."

"Xuanyun has provided relevant combat ideas. After discussion between him and Brother Ligong, they decided to fully support it!"

After the officers gathered, Chu Yunfei said directly with a serious expression on his face.

Of course, Chu Yunfei said that the total casualties of the 48th Independent Brigade would soon exceed 2,000, but that was far less than 2,000, and what he said did not include injuries and deaths.

If the Little Japs independently formed the Fourth Brigade, more than a thousand people were killed, and that does not include the wounded. There is a big difference between the two.

And among the injured personnel of the 48th Independent Brigade, are there a certain number who were attacked by poison gas bombs?

Their eyes are currently injured and they cannot continue to participate in the war for the time being. But if they recover, they can join the war immediately.

Chen Ziyun's 11th Preparatory Regiment was also attacked by poison gas bombs during the battle.

But if they were prepared, it would not have much impact.

Especially now, the Seventh Army has urgently transported gas masks in accordance with the order of the commander's department.

Now artillery, light and heavy machine gun shooters, grenade launchers, and some squad and platoon leaders have begun to issue gas masks.

The little devils ask if they can continue to use tear gas. It will hardly pose a threat to them.

As for Chen Ziyun's battle plan for Dongxin County, Chu Yunfei will approve it, and he will fully cooperate with it.

"The 7th Battalion of the 11th Preparatory Regiment is temporarily placed outside the 358th Regiment."

"The brigade headquarters commands the 358th Regiment, and the field artillery company is directly under the brigade headquarters. They will stick to the high ground and continue to defend, attracting and containing the main force of the Moon Army."

"The cavalry company is directly under the brigade headquarters, and the guard company is assigned to the 11th Reserve Regiment. Chen Ziyun commands the 11th Reserve Regiment to undertake the task of attacking the wrong county."

"After the Preparatory 11th Regiment takes the eastern county seat, it will launch defensive operations with all its strength, so as to attract the Moon Army to attack as much as possible and consume its combat strength."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfei pointed to the location of Xinxian County on the map and gave the battle order again.

"No, hostel." The officers immediately stood up and agreed to come east.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong left Chen Ziyun alone and discussed it in detail.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun commanded the artillery battalion and the fifth battalion troops began to secretly carry out roundabouts and advance towards the county seat.

As for the other troops of the 48th Independent Brigade, they will not stay on the high ground with all their strength.

At the same time, the front line position in Zhuangmo Town was completely abandoned, and the 7th Battalion would gradually move closer to the 358th Regiment position.

At that time, the troops of the First Battle Group had already arrived at the county seat of Xin County.

Shi Yujie and others also learned about the situation in the county through the reconnaissance platoon, and they were ready for battle.

The main force of Wei Monk's reconnaissance platoon had already arrived outside the city. Because they could not carry light machine guns and grenade launchers, they stayed outside the city.

After Chen Ziyun dispatched the first battle group, those personnel quickly reported.
