Beacon starts from the number

Chapter 46 046 Wang Liang: Acting Chief of Staff of the Regiment, Deputy Regimental Level? (4K)
In this way, under the command of Wang Liang, Xinyi Regiment almost wiped out the mighty Hengtian Brigade by its own strength.

Of course, the number of the Yokota Battalion is simply too many, and the strength of the Shinichi regiment alone is not enough to achieve complete annihilation.

There were sporadic devils who successfully broke through from weak spots and escaped.

But this is very few.

Captain Yokota Shinichi was not so lucky and was shot dead on the spot.

In addition to him, the total number of Japanese troops wiped out was 430 three people.

Of course, there is no way to count those devils who were blown to nothing during the bombardment.

Because there was artillery coverage in the early stage, and the tactical command was appropriate, compared with the results obtained.

The cost of casualties on the Xinyi Regiment's side was relatively small.

64 people were sacrificed, and [-] people were lightly or seriously injured.

Looking at the battlefield filled with gunpowder, the soldiers quickly cleaned the battlefield.

Although they personally participated in this battle, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhenguo still couldn't believe it, and felt a little unreal.

As a veteran, Xing Zhenguo could of course tell the difference. Leaving aside the artillery power, the fundamental factor for the victory in this battle was the tacit cooperation of the soldiers during the offensive process, and the connection of each link was just right.

Shelling, infantry charge, artillery fire extension, light and heavy machine gun fire suppression, infantry throwing grenades after arriving close, machine gunner's wings pierced into the waist and fired...

The reason why these links can be arranged so ingeniously is all due to Wang Liang's prior arrangement and scheduling, which depends on the perfect combat plan.

"Deputy chief of staff, you really opened my eyes. I didn't expect that the battle could be fought like this. I really learned a lot and benefited a lot." Xing Zhenguo gave Wang Liang a thumbs up.

"Wang Liang, you did a great job. After I go back, I will immediately write a report to report the results to my superiors and ask for credit for you." Zhao Gang also praised Wang Liang from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Liang was very humble: "You two leaders, you can't say that. The victory this time depends on your wise decision-making, strategizing, approval of my action, and giving me this opportunity."

"More importantly, it is inseparable from the spirit of the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment and the independent company of the Langya Brigade who are not afraid of sacrifice and tenacious struggle."

"It is precisely because of their close cooperation that such a result can be achieved, so it cannot be said that it is due to me alone, the credit belongs to everyone."

Wang Liang immediately raised the height.

How could Zhao Gang and Xing Zhenguo fail to hear his subtext.

What Wang Liang coveted was the weapons, equipment and supplies captured in this battle.

In this way, the independent company led by Zhu Chuanwu and Li Daben did not work in vain this time, and took away one-third of the spoils.

More importantly, the system also rewarded more than [-] shells, which were also detained by Wang Liang and left for the independent company.

After all, the artillery support is provided by an independent company, and the shells are all fired, so it is not a matter of course to supplement them.

Although the Fenghuanggou Independent Company can hold four or five guns, all the soldiers are fat and oily.

But Wang Liang thinks it is right to dig deep and accumulate food. After all, the team will have to expand in the future, and there is no harm in storing more.

The follow-up impact of the Yokota Brigade being defeated by the Xinyituan was very great.

Xinyituan, which was originally not well-known, suddenly became famous in northern Shanxi.

Of course, more people's eyes are more focused on the young deputy chief of staff who commanded this battle.

Li Yunlong called Wang Liang to congratulate him that day.

Not stingy with his praise, he felt that Wang Liang's battle was a new morale boost.

Li Yunlong spoke up again:
"You kid is a fucking genius! I said Ryoko, you might as well keep a new one."

"Our two brothers will work together. In the future, we will fight wherever we want. It will not be a problem to liberate a county town. What a joy, what do you think?"

This time, Wang Liang readily agreed:
"Okay, there is no problem at all. I just think Xinyituan is also good. Since you are so warmly invited, Lao Li, then I might as well obey your orders instead of being respectful."

Seeing Wang Liang's attitude change, Li Yunlong suspected that his ears had misheard.

Wang Liang stayed in the new regiment, which meant that the Spike Brigade would directly join them.

Li Yunlong stayed on Liushan for these days, watching the soldiers of the Spike Brigade in training, swallowing his saliva.

"Hahahahaha, you finally agreed! Okay, I will report to the brigade commander! Apply for you!" Li Yunlong was afraid that Wang Liang would change his mind.

But Wang Liang's next words almost pissed Li Yunlong to death.

"Okay, Lao Li, tell the brigade commander for me. If the organization can appoint me as the new regiment leader, I am very willing to stay."

Li Yunlong, who realized that he had been fooled by Wang Liang, was so angry that he cursed:
"You fucking toad want to eat swan meat!"

"You don't even piss to take care of your own virtue. You are still at the battalion level. You just want to become the head of the regiment in one step. It's a dream!"

Li Yunlong wasn't really angry either. Thinking of the gossip he had just heard, he couldn't help grinning again:
"Let's get back to business, Ryoko, the Japanese devils suffered such a big loss, and according to their past beating behavior, there must be revenge."

"The whole regiment should be more vigilant and arrange more open posts and secret posts."

"Especially at night, we must strictly guard against sneak attacks by little devils, and check the posts more often. The post positions should not be fixed, and they must change every day."

"This work is also within the scope of the staff department's responsibilities. You must get familiar with it as soon as possible, otherwise how will you manage the work in the future?"

Hearing Li Yunlong talk about serious business, Wang Liang also became serious, no longer amused:

"Don't worry, Lao Li, I sent the scouts to ambush five kilometers away. We have plenty of time to react in case of emergencies."

What Wang Liang didn't expect was that the commendation order from the brigade department came down the next day.

Attached is a letter of appointment.

Wang Liang took up his new post as the acting chief of staff of the New First Regiment of the 386 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the captain of the Spike Brigade of the 386 Brigade, clearly at the deputy regiment level.

Wang Liang was very troubled by this.

It's not a bad thing to be promoted to the deputy regiment level, the bad thing is to be the acting chief of staff of the new regiment.

Acting Chief of Staff, I am afraid that the day when this code is removed, there will be a new regiment of Spike Brigade instead of the 386th Brigade Spike Brigade...

The independent battalion of the brigade became a strengthened battalion under the jurisdiction of the new regiment.

Contacting Li Yunlong's words yesterday, Wang Liang felt that this kid might have already received news of his appointment.

No, you still have to make a mistake to find an opportunity. This acting chief of staff is not suitable.

……

The headquarters of the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Ever since he witnessed the complete annihilation of the Hengtian Brigade, Chu Yunfei was full of curiosity about Wang Liang, wanting to know what kind of person he was.

So he arranged for Fang Ligong to collect some information about Wang Liang, of course, the more detailed the better.

Fang Ligong did not let him down, and he soon had work results:
"Wang Liang, male, Han nationality, born in 1918, from Weixian County, Shandong Province, education level is unknown."

"Joined the army in 1934 and served successively as a soldier, deputy squad leader, squad leader, platoon leader, and deputy instructor of the Red Third Army."

"Since 1937, he has served as the commander of the militia company of the Wuyi County Brigade of the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.

"In 1938, he served as the Battalion Commander of the 386 Brigade Independent Battalion (Spike Brigade) of the Eighth Route Army, and the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Xinyi Regiment of the 386 Brigade."

"Oh, I just got the news that just this morning, Wang Liang has been appointed as the acting chief of staff of the Xinyi Regiment."

Chu Yunfei frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help feeling after a while:
"He was born in [-] years, and this year he is only in his early twenties. He is really a young hero."

"Joining the army at the age of 16 means that he must have no background in military academies or lecture halls."

"Then how did he grow from an ordinary person to a mature military commander?"

"In just one year, from a militia company commander to a regiment chief of staff, the speed is too jaw-dropping, isn't it?"

"I really want to get to know this Wang Liang. If such talents can be recruited and used by the party and the country, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?"

Just when Fang Ligong was about to express his opinion, Chu Yunfei received a call from the front line.

The forward position observation post reported that a large number of Japanese troops were dispatched from the direction of Yangquan and Jinzhong, and were rapidly gathering in the area east of Pingding County.

Chu Yunfei quickly came to the sand table, and immediately judged the intention of the Japanese army's move, which was a retaliation against the Xinyi regiment.

That's right, Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army, was greatly annoyed by the news of the complete annihilation of the Yokota Battalion.

After learning that it was the work of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Shinozuka Yoshio ordered a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the Xinyi Regiment, and at the same time launched a security strengthening campaign in northern Shanxi.

Chu Yunfei also made a phone call to his acquaintances in the World War II District Chief's Department, and learned that the Japanese army dispatched the Sakata Regiment this time to deal with the Xinyi Regiment.

Fang Ligong couldn't help being speechless after learning about it:
"I didn't expect that the Japanese army would dispatch the Sakata Regiment to take revenge on the Xinyi Regiment. This must be too motivating!"

"Although the Shinichi regiment took care of the Yokota Brigade, it mainly relied on powerful artillery fire, a well-planned battle plan, and took advantage of the Yokota Brigade's indolence to make a surprise attack."

"That's not enough to send out an alliance, and it's still the Sakata Alliance. It's a bit like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife."

"It can be seen that the Japanese are really offended this time, and the Eighth Route Army will suffer."

Fang Ligong always likes to look at people through the cracks of doors and underestimate the Eighth Route Army, Chu Yunfei has long been dissatisfied.

Decided to give it a good knock:
"Brother Ligong, don't look at the problem too subjectively, just imagine it."

"Choose a random battalion from the four infantry battalions of our [-]th Regiment, and add it to the artillery battalion. Compared with the new regiment, will it be stronger or weaker?"

"So can we achieve the same results with the same casualties in the process of fighting the Yokota Squadron?"

Facing Chu Yunfei's question, Fang Ligong held up his glasses frame, unable to give an answer.

"Can't you beat this guarantee? Is it difficult to admit that others are better than yourself? It's time to be a good student and study. If you fall behind, you will be beaten!" Chu Yunfei reminded.

Fang Ligong nodded: "Tuan Zuo, you are right. Although the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are not as good as ours, in terms of performance on the battlefield, they are indeed better than ours."

"I also admit that I do have a little prejudice, but this time is different from the past. We all know what kind of alliance Sakata United is."

"The standard configuration of the regiment is more than [-] troops. First of all, the strength of the new regiment is more than five times that of the current regiment."

"Besides, the Xinyi Regiment just fought such a vicious battle. In addition to the reduction in combat personnel, there are still a large number of wounded. They don't even have time to rest and have to fight again."

"Under the circumstances, it's really hard for me to have confidence in them."

"Don't forget, during the Battle of Xinkou, the Sakata Regiment managed to defeat two divisions of the Central Army."

"During the anti-sweeping battle in Yunling, Kong Jie's independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army fought against the Sakata Regiment, and suffered heavy losses. The political commissar of the regiment died, and the regiment leader Kong Jie was injured."

"Our [-]th Regiment also fought against the Sakata United Team. In just one hour of firefighting, there were [-] casualties."

"If you hadn't ordered the retreat decisively at that time, if we retreated quickly, the entire regiment would be in danger of being eaten by the Sakata United."

"All in all, the old devil Sakata is not easy to mess with."

Chu Yunfei had to admit that it was true, Xinyituan was really in danger.

Moreover, the Japanese army moved very fast this time. If the Xinyi regiment could not get the news in advance and make preparations, it might be cold.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei immediately arranged for his adjutant Sun Ming to go to the Xinyi regiment.

In fact, Xinyituan has already obtained the information.

"Yes! Brigadier, I understand! But... hello? Can you hear me?"

Zhao Gang was talking with the brigade headquarters, but the call was cut off halfway through, probably because the line was damaged.

The devil's movements were very fast. Although the scouts who came forward gave a timely warning, the main force of the new regiment was still blocked.

The devil's intentions are very clear, and they don't fight you hard, they just want to hold you back, they just want to bite you so hard that you can't get away.

Their purpose is to wait for the large troops of the Sakata Alliance to arrive and complete the outflank, and surround Xinyi in groups and eat them in one bite.

"Political commissar, what do you mean by brigade?" Xing Zhenguo asked.

Judging from Zhao Gang's expression, the situation is very bad:
"The news I got from the headquarters is that the Japanese army dispatched the Sakata Regiment to launch a sweep against our Xinyi regiment."

"Sakata Alliance?" Xing Zhenguo was very surprised, obviously he knew the prestige of this alliance.

Zhao Gang said: "The headquarters ordered our Xinyi Regiment to break out from the flank under the alternate cover of the Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment."

The telephone line was interrupted, the assigned radio station was damaged, and the Xinyi Regiment completely lost contact with the brigade headquarters.

Xing Zhenguo felt that there was something wrong with the arrangement of his superiors:
"Then according to the deployment of the brigade, even with the assistance of the Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment, the possibility of our escape is very small."

"Even if the two regiments cooperated well and we retreated unscathed, wouldn't that send them to the tiger's mouth? Our Xinyi regiment can't do such a thing!"

Zhao Gang had a bitter look on his face. Of course he knew this truth, but the order was issued by the headquarters. Could it be that he was going to openly disobey the order?
Originally, he wanted to report the situation to the brigade commander, but when the telephone line was cut off, he completely lost contact.

Just when Zhao Gang and Xing Zhenguo had no idea and were at a loss, they only heard Wang Liang say:
"Break out from the front!"
