Chapter three hundred and sixty-ninth open and aboveboard attack
This time, the troops participating in the revival of Beiyuan County were not only two infantry regiments of Zhang Yunfei's 36th Army, but also the New Fifth Regiment and the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
The two regiments of the Eighth Route Army are closest to Beiyuan County. Although the two infantry regiments of the Thirty-Sixth Army are more than enough to deal with the two infantry brigades stationed in the county...
But Zhang Yunfei, based on the principle of large people and strong strength, invited these two Eighth Route Army regiments to participate. At the invitation to participate in the attack on the county town, the comrades of the New Fifth Regiment and the New Second Regiment were extremely happy, from the regiment commanders to ordinary soldiers.
In the past, everyone was repeatedly swept by the Japanese soldiers stationed in the county town, and everyone was already full of anger. In the past, everyone lacked ammunition and did not have any heavy weapons. No one dared to attack the Japanese soldiers' heavy troops, but now it is different.
Today, there are comrades from the 36th Army who are the main attackers, while comrades from the Eighth Route Army who are the auxiliary attackers. Therefore, all comrades from the Eighth Route Army who are excited and confident.
Zhang Yunfei and the 36th Army were a very tall existence in the hearts of the Eighth Route Army comrades. This time, everyone learned that it was General Zhang who personally commanded it, and the Eighth Route Army comrades who participated in the war were so unhappy and not excited.
It was just dawn, and the comrades of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the war began to set off and gather at the designated location. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be more active than the comrades of the Thirty-Sixth Army.
Since Zhang Yunfei visited Beiyuan County once a few days ago, he knew the layout of Beiyuan County and the distribution of Japanese troops. Zhang Yunfei formulated a very reasonable combat plan. Last night, Zhang Yunfei also convened officers above the battalion commander of each participating army to hold a combat meeting.
In order to quickly restore Beiyuan County, Zhang Yunfei mobilized another 30 special forces team members to Jinsha Town a few days ago.
These special forces members, plus the previous 20 special forces members, a total of 50 special forces members, led by captain Liu Xing, had already sneaked into Beiyuan County in batches yesterday. Once the battle starts, the special forces members will work with the comrades on the outside and attack the Japanese.
This time, the two infantry regiments responsible for restoring Beiyuan County were all drawn from the First Infantry Division, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. The two infantry regiments had nearly 5,000 people, and they used a slaughter to deal with just over 2,000 Japanese devils.
Hearing that he was going to fight in North China, Wang Haiyang, the commander of the First Infantry Division, originally wanted to come here in person, but Zhang Yunfei refused. Zhang Yunfei transferred one of the deputy brigade commanders of the First Infantry Division over and mobilized Chen Hu of the Anti-Aircraft Regiment, and the two of them would assist in their own battles.
Chen Hu of the Anti-Aircraft Cannon Regiment can be said to be an old man from the 36th Army. In terms of qualifications, he can be compared with any division commander. Zhang Yunfei thinks that veteran Chen Hu is a bit in trouble with the anti-Aircraft Cannon Regiment.
After all, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment's stall is a little smaller. Although Zhang Yunfei also plans to expand the anti-aircraft artillery regiment into an anti-aircraft artillery brigade in the future, and is now working hard to produce self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery, but now it is time to need people, Zhang Yunfei thought of Chen Hu the first time.
Zhang Yunfei transferred Chen Hu out of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, Chen Hu's deputy, Zhao Lunsheng, the chief of staff of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, will replace Chen Hu.
As for the deputy brigade commander, he is named He Baoshan, graduated from Huangpu tenth class, has rich combat experience, has participated in the Battle of Shanghai, the Nanjing Defense Battle, etc. He used to be a battalion commander, and last year he came to Datong with full enthusiasm to participate in the 36th Army.
At that time, Zhang Yunfei appointed He Baoshan as a deputy commander of the First Infantry Division. Over the past year, He Baoshan has performed outstandingly and has been promoted to deputy brigade commander.
Zhang Yunfei transferred He Baoshan to come, and he also meant to be a treasure mountain. He Baoshan not only graduated from Huangpu, but also was a member of the **. When he was the battalion commander of the **, He Baoshan's party membership was still confidential, but after he arrived at the 36th Army, he gradually became public.
Now, there are very few people in the 36th Army who have been to the Whampoa Military Academy. The Chief of Staff Zuo Qingquan is one, the commander of the 6th Infantry Division Chu Tianming is one, and He Baoshan is one, and there are several people in addition, but the total number is less than ten.
Regarding these people, Zhang Yunfei believes that as long as they are loyal and reliable, they can be entrusted with important responsibilities. He Baoshan slowly entered Zhang Yunfei's vision because of his outstanding performance.
Zhang Yunfei's plan was to mobilize two people to Jinsha Town to assist him in commanding the battle first. The two of them first became familiar with each other. After the Beiyuan County was restored, they would establish a base in Beiyuan County and its surrounding towns and the vast towns around them, and form the 7th Infantry Division.
These two infantry regiments mobilized from the First Infantry Division will be the backbone of the formation of the 7th Infantry Division. As for the senior personnel of the division headquarters, Zhang Yunfei is preparing to appoint Chen Hu as the division commander and He Baoshan as the chief of staff, and later appoint a political commissar and one to two deputy division commanders.
Chen Hu and He Baoshan, who had just arrived in Jinsha Town two days ago, had only met several times before, but had never fought together. However, they actually fell in love with each other at first sight and got along very well. Now, they were sitting in the same off-road vehicle and headed towards Beiyuan County with Zhang Yunfei.
This time, when Beiyuan County was restored, Zhang Yunfei divided the troops into several troops according to the battalion, and everyone would attack Beiyuan County from all directions at the same time.
In the first step, everyone will remove some strongholds outside the county town. In the second step, with the cooperation of special forces in the city, everyone will fight into the city together. The New Fifth Regiment and the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army will follow closely.
Zhang Yunfei was sitting in the off-road vehicle, and the off-road vehicle was driving along the bumpy road towards Beiyuan County. Early this morning, the two infantry regiments of the 36th Army set off from Jinsha Town in several directions based on battalions.
Now, the troops have set out for several hours. It is estimated that in another hour or two, each battalion will reach the designated attack position.
Zhang Yunfei took a bus from Jinsha Town at 10 a.m. When he operated with Zhang Yunfei, in addition to a guard company, there was also an infantry battalion. However, everyone did not walk like other troops, and everyone took trucks or off-road vehicles.
When the soldiers of the 36th Army and the comrades of the Eighth Route Army had a total of nearly 10,000 people, divided into several groups and moved closer to Beiyuan County, the Japanese in Beiyuan County were still ignorant and unaware of it.
The Japanese in Beiyuan County are now at a low morale. First, an infantry brigade entered the Taihang Mountains and was wiped out and wiped out. Then, one of their own brigade commanders was captured alive, and the Japanese corps commander was seduced.
A series of events have caused the morale of more than 2,000 Japanese devils in Beiyuan County to be low. Now, the newly appointed corps captain of the Japanese devils has not yet taken office, and the Japanese are now responsible for the Chief of Staff.
Beiyuan County is on all sides and the terrain is flat. Because Beiyuan County has no city walls, the Japanese built many strongholds outside the county town, with more than a dozen.
These strongholds are large and there are a small team of Japanese soldiers stationed in them. Small strongholds are also stationed in them. These strongholds are not only the Japanese's guard posts and fortresses, but also one of the Japanese's usual barracks.
In addition to those fixed military camps, the Japanese in the entire Beiyuan County also acted as barracks. The Japanese invaders stationed in the strongholds were all in the strongholds.
Zhang Yunfei was very clear about the distribution of the Japanese strongholds and troops, and distributed the Japanese distribution map to the hands of each battalion commander, and each infantry battalion had its own combat mission.
The main task of this infantry battalion that operated with Zhang Yunfei was to remove the five strongholds in the west of the county town and attack the city from the west of the county town.
On the west side of the county town, Xiao Gui built the largest number of strongholds. Maybe it was because Jinsha Town to the west was stationed in the New Fifth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Because the county town is rich in cement, the five strongholds of the Japanese were built very strongly and all had cement structures.
There are three main strongholds, which are very tall, more than ten meters high and three floors high. There are many shooting outlets around them. Among these three large strongholds, there are a small team of Japanese devils stationed.
Such a strong stronghold, without heavy weapons in the siege, is difficult to break its hard turtle shell, and the outside of the stronghold is very flat, with the Japanese shooting boundary in the stronghold, which is typically easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This is why the Eighth Route Army has never attacked the county town. With the Eighth Route Army's rifles and machine guns, it is difficult to capture such a strong stronghold.
But this time, since Zhang Yunfei decided to restore Beiyuan County, Zhang Yunfei naturally had his own way.
At around 1:00 noon, Zhang Yunfei finally reached the west of Beiyuan County, less than two kilometers away from the county town, and about one thousand meters further away, they were the Japanese outside the city strongholds.
At this location, Zhang Yunfei could already see the gray-green strongholds of the Japanese. Zhang Yunfei looked at the watch and said that the troops should have reached the designated position. Zhang Yufei's scheduled attack time was exactly 2:00 in the afternoon.
After reading the watch, Zhang Yunfei said to the two correspondents next to him: "Notify everyone, go forward 500 meters and set up an attack formation about 500 meters in front of the Japanese stronghold."
Upon hearing this, the two correspondents immediately jumped onto the off-road vehicle and ran to verbally inform everyone. Although there were wireless telephones on the off-road vehicle, many soldiers were riding in the truck and had to verbally inform everyone.
Zhang Yunfei ordered the troops to continue moving forward, not worried that everyone would be discovered by the Japanese. Now, there are nearly 10,000 troops involved in the attack, plus the Eighth Route Army comrades, so what if the Japanese discovered it?
Zhang Yunfei was not fighting a sneak attack, but an open attack on Beiyuan County in broad daylight, without any need to hide it. Besides, this is a plain, so it is difficult for so many people to hide their whereabouts.
Today I am still preparing for the third update, and the second update will be given. Please recommend, collect, subscribe, and monthly tickets.
