Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated

Chapter 17 The Beginning of Cangyun Ridge

The military factory of the current logistics department is fully producing various types of bullets and grenades.

Because the current friction between the army and the devils is getting worse, and a large-scale battle may break out at any time, the headquarters decided to give priority to equipping the [-]th Division with these weapons.

The [-]th Brigade, as the main force of the [-]th Division, stood at the forefront and was ready to deal with the devil's big work at any time.

The black cloud overwhelms the city and wants to destroy it.

On the eve of the outbreak of the great war, the atmosphere of chilling filled the entire base area.

Whether it is the soldiers on the front line or the comrades in the logistics department, they are all ready to deal with the new wave of devils' offensive.

The soldiers got newly supplemented weapons and ammunition. If it was normal, they would definitely be as happy as if they had made a fortune.

But now everyone knows that a fierce battle is about to strike, and the regiment leaders are busy patrolling the troops, checking for omissions and filling vacancies to boost morale, and conveying the new strategic arrangements of the headquarters.

The logistics department is ready to quickly dismantle the production equipment at any time, and is ready to follow the division headquarters and field hospital for transfer.

The reason why the logistics department and the field hospital were not transferred in advance was because the troops could not do without the assistance of these two departments unless it was a last resort.

One shot cannot be pulled, but the whole body can be moved by pulling it.

During this period, both the vice president and the division commander called Zhang Wanhe to tell Zhang Wanhe that when necessary, the safety of the personnel should be given priority, so that the green hills would not be afraid of running out of firewood.

In February 1940, Shinozuka Yoshio, the first commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi Province, issued a new phase of instructions:
All regiments stationed in the province are required to jointly encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army troops entrenched in Jinzhong.

Soon the devil's movement was noticed by the division headquarters. After analyzing the strength of the enemy and ourselves, according to our army's current combat policy, the division headquarters decided to temporarily avoid the edge.

After all, the current army does not have the ability to fight the devil head-on head-on, and the consumption of a major battle is not something the Eighth Route Army can afford.

Although the base area is ready to be transferred, because of the cage policy that the devils have been implementing, and the garrisons at the passes and gun towers have been specially strengthened for this raid.

They have set up many checkpoints, and the speed at which comrades evacuate is not ideal.

On the opposite side of the Japanese blockade, the logistics department could only take advantage of the moonlight to transfer.

Fortunately, the logistics department does not have any large-scale equipment, and the important chemical plants are only made by local methods.

The equipment used is very simple, even if it is re-prepared, it will not hurt.

In less than two nights, the comrades had all retreated to a safe area.

But the transfer of the division headquarters and the field hospital was not so smooth.

The equipment in the field hospital is hard-won, and these equipment greatly affect the speed of transfer.

And because of the shortage of medicines, there are seriously wounded in the field hospital all the year round.

Our army has never abandoned or abandoned any of its comrades-in-arms, and the speed of retreating with the seriously wounded can be imagined.

When approaching Cangyunling, the reconnaissance team of the Japanese First Regiment discovered a retreating Eighth Route Army unit.

Based on follow-up observations, the devil's scouts judged from the equipment, wounded and clothing that there must be a field hospital that the Eighth Route Army was transferring in this unit.

The captain of the alliance, Sakata Shintetsu, decisively ordered the attack like a shark smelling blood.

Even though they don't have an advantage in numbers, past experience tells him that their alliance is not something the enemy in front can handle.

The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army were far inferior to the Guofu troops, and the ratio of casualties between the Guofu troops and the Locust Army was six to one.

He didn't pay much attention to the armed force formed by this group of farmers, and the field hospital of the Eighth Route Army was already a meritorious service in his heart.

This is how the flower of the locust army was promoted step by step to today's position by relying on his military exploits.

Moreover, from the beginning of this encirclement and suppression operation to the present, the Eighth Route Army has been avoiding the battle.

Sakata Shinzhe has determined that his alliance can completely crush this group of farmers who lack heavy weapons.

In this way, the Sakata Alliance chased and fought all the way, biting the Eighth Route Army troops that were retreating all the way.

In order to cover the transfer of division headquarters and field hospitals, the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army stayed behind.

The bright sword of flowing water and the iron-clad Cangyun Ridge kicked off under such circumstances.

All ministries acted immediately to snatch the commanding heights of Cangyun Ridge.

He wants to block the devils behind him by taking advantage of the favorable terrain and numbers.

The importance of commanding heights in Cangyunling, which has a peculiar mountain situation, is self-evident.

As an experienced devil commander, Sakata Shinzhe would not allow the Eighth Route Army to seize the advantage.

However, due to the rush of time, the three regiments of the [-]th Brigade finally took the lead.

On the three hills of Cangyunling's main position, the main force of Li Yunlong's new regiment quickly deployed, seized the time to build fortifications, and made preparations for battle.

His flanks were Cheng Xiazi's [-]nd regiment and [-]st regiment, the three regiments formed horns.

Although he did not grab the commanding heights, Sakata Shintetsu, who had swelled to the extreme, did not stop chasing.

He believes that these farmers do not have much fighting literacy, and even if they occupy favorable terrain, they will be destroyed at the first touch.

The facts quickly slapped him in the face, and the attack on the main position of Cangyun Ridge was not smooth.

Although it didn't reach the level of hurting the muscles and bones, it also severely dampened the morale of the Sakata United team.

The fortifications built by the three regiments of the [-]th Brigade on the top of the hill made this main position easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The artillery advantage of the Sakata Wing cannot be finalized because of the terrain.

The Eighth Route Army was condescending, repelled several attacks of the devils one after another, and fought fiercely with more than [-] devils on the Cangyunling position.

In order to delay the time, they even launched [-] consecutive attacks and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the devils.

And they are well aware of the importance of counter-charge.

The purpose is to repel the enemy from the current charging position and expand the defense depth.

Seize a favorable defensive position, regain the lost defensive points, and consolidate the solidity and integrity of the defense.

When distributing troops, strive to form an advantage in the firepower of troops in the direction of counter-impact.

Looking at the position that still has not been conquered after many charges, Shinzhe Sakata is both angry and admires the fighting will of the opponent's troops.

He didn't expect that these farmers who were not in his eyes actually caused his alliance to lose hundreds of warriors from his brother country.

If the enemy troops in front cannot be defeated in time, resulting in the smooth evacuation of the field hospital of the Eighth Route Army, then he will become a shame for the entire Jin Province garrison.

Sakata Shintetsu's command ability was not affected by anger, and he, who has rich experience in the battlefield, ordered:

Under the cover of artillery, some troops feinted from the front.

The forces of the four squadrons were divided into two parts to outflank and attack from the weakest sides of the enemy's force deployment towards the main position of Cangyun Ridge.

"Hey, in fact, the Japanese tactics are really der, purely to bully the Eighth Route Army without heavy firepower. This tactic, whether it's beating hairy boys or old Americans, is a serious delivery."

In his temporary command post, Sakata Shintetsu looked at his subordinates in action through binoculars, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised showing a mighty smile.
