Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

But now the opportunity is so good. If we occupy Heli County, we can make use of the surrounding resources.

Such a good opportunity, if you let it go.

So it’s unclear when the 772nd Regiment will be able to establish a stable logistics base.

Therefore, although Zhang Ling knew that Zhao Gang was right, he still couldn't bear to give up such a good opportunity.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ling suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Zhao Gang, you must not miss this opportunity."

"But you are right. If the Japanese from Taiyuan come to support us, the new recruits of our 772nd Regiment may not be able to hold on."

"After all, the Japanese are well-trained. If they have never seen blood, they will probably suffer a great loss."

"All combat officers and soldiers gather at the regiment's combat command center." Zhang Ling shouted.

Then, a group of people followed Zhang Ling and quickly entered the regiment's operations room.

The new recruits also roughly knew the news that the Japanese were moving out.

Knowing that they might be going into battle for the first time, some recruits became nervous and excited.

"That's great! I can finally go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. I must avenge my family."

"My whole family died in Nanjing, and I can't let the Japanese go."

At this time, in the war room.

Zhang Ling pointed to Heli County on the map.

"Zhao Gang, I've thought about it, we can't let go of this opportunity."

"This is the only way to get the boss to allow our 772nd Regiment to develop independently."

"So, I decided that we should take a risky move." Zhang Ling said, pointing at Heli County.

Zhao Gao and others also nodded: "Captain, you go ahead."

Zhang Ling pointed to Heli County on the map and said, "The Japanese definitely don't have too many troops stationed in Heli County."

"Xu Erniu, you have more combat experience. Zhao Gang, you will be responsible for leading Xu Erniu and the 1st and 3rd Battalions to attack Heli County."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the defense of Heli County won't be too large."

"The 4th Battalion is responsible for guarding Zhaojia Village. Be ready to provide support at any time to prevent the enemy from attacking our base. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"Li Dazhuang, take the 2nd Battalion with me and outflanke this group of Japanese troops from the rear."

"After we wipe out the Japanese with the 358th Regiment, we will turn around and head to Heli County."

"At that time, even if the Japanese wanted to rescue them, they would first rescue the surrounded Japanese."

"As for Heli County, it will definitely be placed last." Zhang Ling said.

Zhao Gang immediately refused upon hearing this: "Captain, I oppose this action."

Zhang Ling was a little confused.

And Xu Erniu was also a little unhappy: "Political Commissar, such a good opportunity."

Zhao Gang explained directly: "It's not that I don't trust the commander's judgment, but the combat effectiveness of our 772nd Regiment's new recruits."

"I have this idea, Captain, please listen to it."

"You say." Zhang Ling nodded.

"Captain, we should take this opportunity to send the new recruits to the battlefield to kill the enemy so that they can be mentally prepared."

"Take the 123rd Battalion and outflank the Japanese. It would be best if we could wipe out all of them in one fell swoop."

"With the 358th Regiment here, at least there won't be any problems in Heli County."

"After you finish the battle, the news of the Japanese defeat will definitely spread back to Li County."

"At that time, we can turn around and attack Heli County, and perhaps we can capture it without bloodshed."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, your idea is good."

"New recruits have not been baptized by the battlefield, so unexpected situations may indeed occur."

"If we take them with us to help the 358th Regiment to encircle them from behind."

"Firstly, it can help them get over the first battlefield situation quickly psychologically, and secondly, it can also prevent new soldiers from having problems during their first siege."

"Okay, Zhao Gang, let's do as you say."

"123 Battalion, follow me. Let's go help the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Zhang Ling quickly set out with three battalions of nearly 3 troops, heading for the second position of the 4500th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Zhao Gang led the 4th Battalion to garrison Zhaojia Village, while closely monitoring the developments in Heli County.

Not long after Zhang Ling set out, comrades from the Intelligence Bureau also delivered a letter by express horse.

The situation in Heli County was clarified.

There are still 500 Japanese soldiers and 500 puppet troops inside.

Seeing this news, Zhang Ling was secretly relieved for a moment.

Fortunately, I listened to Zhao Gang and did not let the new recruits attack the city first.

Otherwise, these 500 Japanese soldiers would have at least 5 heavy machine guns.

The thing was catching fire.

I’m afraid these new recruits don’t even know where to hide.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling also said to everyone: "Speed ​​up."

……

358 Regiment position.

Chu Yunfei held a telescope in his hand and looked at the Japanese soldiers attacking in the distance.

His expression was somewhat cold and disdainful.

"These little devils have smelled the scent and are here because they know that our 358th Regiment is stationed here."

"You are not going to the Eighth Route Army, but to our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Why do you think our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is a pushover?"

Fang Ligong on the side smiled slightly: "I guess the Japanese also want to make up for our Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

"It's really annoying to talk about it. These little devils always suffer losses at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and then turn around and cause trouble for our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"And I can always get some advantage every time." Fang Ligong said.

Chu Yunfei put down the telescope and snorted coldly: "Who can I blame?"

"Soldiers must have backbone and fighting spirit, and some of our brother troops of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

"You let them make more money than the other in the national disaster, and go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese devils."

"Hey!"

As soon as Chu Yunfei finished speaking, a soldier came running over in a hurry.

"Report to the regiment commander, the Japanese vanguard has begun to move towards our position."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Understood, order the brothers at the front line."

"If the Japs get within range, hit them hard."

"Let these little devils know that our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is no pushover."

Obviously, Chu Yunfei was still brooding over Fang Ligong's words.

Soon, with the first gunshot, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment engaged in a battle with the Japanese.

The 358th Regiment is worthy of being the elite main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The combat quality of the soldiers is indeed much higher than that of other brother units.

Although the troops sent by the Japanese were elite troops.

But after the exchange of fire between the two sides, neither side gained any advantage.

The battle lasted for two days. Although the 358th Regiment suffered some casualties, the casualties were not serious.

Instead, the Japanese suffered a great loss for the first time in their history.

At this time, the Japanese positions were also beginning to mobilize artillery.

It was planned to bomb the defensive positions of the 358th Regiment.

On the other side, Zhang Ling led 772 people from the 4500nd Regiment after a day's march.

We found our way behind this group of Japanese soldiers.
