Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

"In addition to the Japanese cavalry group, the Japanese supported the pseudo-Mongolian Cavalry Division Second Army, which has four divisions in Mongolia and a total of nearly 5 troops.

Sui and Cha provinces are located on plains, so cavalry has a great advantage in combat. "

Chief of Staff Wu Fenglin was very familiar with cavalry. He had encountered the Ma family army during the Western Expedition. It could be said that they came and went like the wind.

"Chief of Staff, the cavalry is indeed powerful, and Sui and Cha provinces are also very suitable for cavalry combat, but they were unlucky and encountered our independent brigade.

Our mechanized infantry regiments have stronger mobile warfare capabilities than cavalry, and coupled with our strong firepower configuration,

If the Japs and the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry fall into my hands, I will definitely let them know what the new way of fighting in modern warfare is like! "

When Wu Gang thought of the tanks and armored vehicles of the independent brigade, he felt so excited that he wished he could go to the battlefield and fight them right now.

"Ha ha……."

When everyone in the conference room heard Wu Gang's words, they almost simultaneously thought of the scene where the independent brigade encountered the Japanese cavalry.

After everyone quieted down, Wang Ye said, "It is indeed difficult for the cavalry to play a role under our firepower, but everyone should not be arrogant. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit."

"Yes, the brigade commander is right. Our independent brigade has never lost a battle since it started as a children's group.

Of course, it was because our weapons were more advanced than the Japanese and our firepower was stronger than the Japanese, but it was also inseparable from the strong will and bravery of the commanders and fighters.

So everyone should remember that no matter what time or what enemy we face, we must not take it lightly. "

Zhao Gang said this because after the independent brigade was reorganized, especially after arriving in Yu County, as the troops' base became more stable, some people began to think about enjoying a comfortable life.

Wang Ye saw that everyone in the meeting room looked much more serious, so he continued,

"If we want to capture the Mianbao, we must first capture Suicheng. The Japanese 26th Division has been stationed here for many years. Not only are they very familiar with the terrain, but they have also built many artillery towers and strongholds in the area.

Moreover, there are countless traitors and maintenance organizations. These people are the devil's accomplices and the devil's spies who must be guarded against."

After Wang Ye finished speaking, Wu Fenglin opened the Suiyuan map and began to explain the situation of the 26th Division and its affiliated puppet troops.

"The commander of the 26th Division of the Japanese, Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetsu, had participated in the Northeast Incident and the Peking Incident. After the Japanese occupied North China, he was promoted to the commander of the 26th Division and stationed in Suimeng for a long time.

The puppet Mongolian government was established by him and the traitor of Prince De. It can be said that this devil knew the situation of Sui Meng very well.

26师团下辖11、12、13三个步兵联队，野炮11联队有山野炮36门，其他还有工兵26联队以及搜索队、后勤等等，

The 11th Regiment was stationed in Liangcheng, southeast of Suicheng, north of Yunzhong, 150 kilometers away from us.

The 12th Regiment was stationed in Linhe, just south of Suicheng. A battalion under this regiment had already gone down to Qinghe County, just north of us, and was the first enemy we came into contact with.

The 13th Regiment is in Tok, southwest of Suicheng, close to the 35th Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We need to go to the headquarters for this.

In addition to the 26th Division, we must consider the possibility of reinforcements from the 41st Division in Yunzhong and the 108th Division on Zhengtai Road.

Especially the 4th and 5th battalions under the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Mongolian Army, they are even closer. "

Wu Fenglin returned to his seat and sat down. Wang Ye also finished reading the battle plan made by the General Staff.

"Everyone, this is the first battle since the establishment of the independent brigade. The battle plan will be reported to the headquarters later.

I hope everyone will put all their energy into fighting this battle.”

After receiving the independent brigade's battle plan, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters discussed it several times. Just when they were about to agree to the independent brigade's plan,

The Japanese began a sweep of the Eighth Route Army base in northeastern Shanxi.

"report!"

"Come in!" Wu Gang turned and looked at the signalman.

"Deputy Brigade Commander, telegram from headquarters!"

After reading it, Wu Gang handed it to Wang Ye, and then said to everyone, "The Japanese have fought with the 115th Division in northeastern Shanxi."

"I didn't expect that Kawamura Heizaburo had just taken office as the commander of the First Army for a month, but he dared to attack the 115th Division. Who gave him the courage?" Zhao Gang said angrily.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the soldiers we have. Okamura urgently dispatched the 108th and 109th divisions to Shanxi.

There were suddenly two more divisions with nearly 5 men in northern Shanxi, and Kawamura Heizaburo must have been extremely inflated.

Now our Eighth Route Army has basically digested Northwest Shanxi. Both the territory and the manpower have been greatly improved. Kawamura Heizaburo will certainly not take action against Northwest Shanxi.

This is a sweep of the base area in northeastern Shanxi."

"How is the military strength?" Wu Fenglin asked quickly.

"The 41st and 108th Divisions, together with the puppet troops, totaling 6 people, attacked the base in three directions.

The headquarters wants us to start from Yu County and attack the rear wing of the 108th Division in the southwest direction to disrupt their logistics supply route."

"We shouldn't be asked to do this simple job. The New 386st Regiment of the th Brigade is in Pingxian County, and the Independent Regiment is in Jingxian County. Both of these units are closer to us. Why don't we let them do it?"

Wu Fenglin asked doubtfully.

"The telegram said that the Japanese 109th Division was on the Ping'an and Zhengtai roads. Although they had not yet attacked the base in northwestern Shanxi,

But as soon as the 386th Brigade moves, the 109th Division will surely break into the base area.

In order to reduce the pressure on the base, just give us this task, and the 41st Division in Yu County will withdraw its troops back to Yunzhong. "

Wu Gang looked at the map and said, "Brigade Commander, if we want to support the 115th Division, we must cross the railway. There are many artillery towers and bunkers built along the railway outside the 108th Division.

Moreover, the Japanese have placed a regiment and a second Japanese brigade in Sucheng, east of Yu County, probably to guard against us."

Wang Ye thought about it briefly and realized that the Japanese raid in northeastern Shanxi had already begun, so they had to send troops as soon as possible.

"So, Deputy Brigade Commander Wu, you lead the 1st and 6th Regiments, plus a rocket launcher battalion and an anti-aircraft gun battalion to attack Sucheng, and then move towards Yunzhong.

We gave the Japs the illusion that they would not retreat and that we would fight all the way to the clouds.

In addition, we will take advantage of this opportunity to have the Second and Third Regiments move northwards to capture Qinghe first, which will serve as our bridgehead for entering Suiyuan."

Zhao Gang hesitated to speak, and waited until everyone went out to take action before saying to Wang Ye, "Brigade Commander, the order from the headquarters is for us to reinforce northeastern Shanxi.

If you let the Second and Third Regiments move towards Qinghe now, will the headquarters have any objections?"

"Commissar, I was just about to tell you to send a telegram to headquarters to explain our situation.

As long as we break the siege of northeastern Shanxi, the headquarters should have no objection."
