214. Chapter 214 Stimulating the Japanese and puppet troops(2/2)
"Was that battle too risky?"
"And the main office also sent a message with clear instructions."
Fang Ligong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chu Yunfei and said.
"Qian Bojun and Zhang Fuyun thought whether the 11th Preparatory Regiment was deliberately defeated, but in fact they did not believe that the Japanese and puppet troops were mistaken."
"Fortunately, they were able to evacuate in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Brother, the 48th Independent Brigade has expanded to 10,000 troops, but its combat effectiveness continues to decline."
"If they don't take risks now, they may suffer a fatal blow later."
"Thousands of months of puppet troops in Xin County are elite, but Liudong and the others are like a stick in the throat!"
"He believes in the Eight-Road New Group, and he believes in Ziyun even more."
Chu Yunfei's face showed a firm expression and he spoke directly.
When Fang Ligong heard those words, he didn't say anything more.
The main force of the 48th Independent Brigade began to actively deploy defense in the county.
Of course, their total strength is about 5,000, but there are a certain number of non-combatants among them.
The supplementary regiment has just been formed, and the overall strength is not very strong.
Has the 11th Reserve Regiment replenished a large number of soldiers, and has its combat effectiveness declined to a great extent compared to before?
Please tell me if the puppet troops are really coming, those troops may not be able to hold on to the county town for a long time.
Under such circumstances, Chu Yunfei knew that the Yue puppet army in Xin County had to be solved, and whether it was worth the risk.
At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, in the Pingdingshan area northeast of the county.
At the headquarters of the new regiment, Li Yunlong looked at the map happily.
At present, he has seen the messenger of the Independent Regiment. The Kongjie Independent Regiment has quickly arrived in the area west of Xin County.
Are they currently on standby in the western highlands and can quickly join the battle at any time?
After the troops from the independent regiment came over, Li Yunlong was confident enough. With two regiments of troops, could he be ready to show off his talents?
"What, the Yue puppet army in Xinkou Town didn't launch an attack."
"Are those Yue puppet troops able to keep their composure? It seems we have to stimulate them."
"Old Zhao, gather all the troops and we will go directly to Yuanping City to fight."
"Can the 120th Division express their wishes several times, hoping that they can purchase steel to support their operations?"
"We will go there that time and directly cooperate with them to carry out combat strikes in Yuanping City."
"We really don't know if it is difficult for elite troops to display their true strength without weapons and equipment."
"The weapons configuration of our new regiment is absolutely correct!"
After Li Yunlong learned about the movements of the puppet troops in Zhenyue, Xinkou, he decisively issued the combat order to the east.
After Zhao Gang got the order, he rushed to arrange for the messengers to deliver it.
Troops from each battalion gathered one after another, and at 12 noon, the new regiment left Pingding Mountain and headed directly to Yuanping City.
Did they move covertly that time instead of advancing boldly? They made a lot of noise and wanted everyone to know their whereabouts.
At one o'clock in the east, over there in Xinkou Town.
Tsuda Mitake received the report. When he learned that the new regiment of the Pingdingshan Eighth Route Army was advancing towards Yuan Pingcheng, his expression gradually became firm.
One afternoon, he sent electricity one after another to contact the military headquarters.
It was after twelve o'clock from the First Army Headquarters that they responded with a telegram and continued to ask them to stay where they were.
Mitake Tsuda was very dissatisfied with the mistake in that order. He believed that his troops now had the absolute advantage.
Holding on to the same place will allow the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army to gradually regain their strength.
"Order the troops to quickly advance towards the county seat of Xinxian County, and directly attack the Shanxi-Sui Army there."
"Convey his order. Before dark, we must quickly attack outside the city and seize the county seat directly."
"They cannot continue to wait eastward, otherwise it will be difficult for them to completely annihilate them once they recover."
"Now is a God-given opportunity. They can't miss it. The horse is about to attack."
After Tsuda Mitake learned that Li Yunlong's new regiment was advancing towards Yuanping City, he made a decisive decision.
In his opinion, without the Eighth Route Army threat, they would be able to easily win if they attacked the county town.
The Yue puppet troops assembled in Xinkou Town quickly assembled, and then, under the command of Major General Mitake Tsuda, commander of the brigade, they quickly advanced towards the county seat of Xin County.
That time Mitake Tsuda directly violated the combat order from the First Army Headquarters.
But he thought that if he attacked the county seat, he would definitely be able to win a complete victory!
Chapter completed!
