In the communication room.
"Commander Zhou, I'm Su Zuxin. You won a great battle at Lijiagou, and the entire army is very excited. The Japanese 103rd Brigade is estimated to have only 3,000 men left. I suggest we eat them up. Although our division still has over 7,000 men, the Japanese invaders are too powerful. Our division doesn't have the ability to destroy them alone. If your group can work together, with my division attacking from the front and you attacking from the back, you should have a higher chance of success.”
"I agree with your plan. I suggest you launch an attack as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Japanese army may have reinforcements.”
"Thank you, Regiment Commander Zhou. My 135th Division will launch an attack tomorrow. I hope that your troops can reach the rear of the enemy before tomorrow afternoon.”
"Commander Su, don't worry. With me, Zhou Weiguo, there's no way the Japanese 103rd Brigade can escape.”
"Alright, after killing this enemy, you and I will celebrate in Mingguang.”
"Alright, this day won't be too far away."
Even if Su Zuxin had not called, Zhou Weiguo would still have made his move. He wanted to take out the heavily injured 103rd Brigade. If the 135th Division was there to hold them back, it would be more convenient for him to take action.
However, even if it was a joint operation, Zhou Weiguo would definitely be the main character.
Zhou Weiguo called for a meeting with the battalion commanders and company commanders.
"Everyone, we won another great battle at Li Jia Gou yesterday. We will replenish the strength of a battalion at the summit and expand the 522nd Regiment. Xu Hu first made a good suggestion and his performance in the battle was commendable. I promoted him to the commander of the fourth battalion.
Qian Deya also performed well and was promoted from platoon leader to company commander.
Our next move is to eliminate the enemy's 103rd Brigade…"
Zhou Weiguo made the corresponding arrangements.
On January 28th, the 135th Division, with four regiments under its jurisdiction, launched a full-scale attack on the 103rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.
The 103rd Brigade originally had 8,000 soldiers. In Leiguan Town and Lijiagou, 3900 people were killed by Zhou Weiguo twice. They attacked Mingguang and fought with the 135th Division for four to five days, losing more than 1,000 people.
The 135th Division originally had 9900 people, but they lost more than 2,000 people in the battle with the Japanese in the past few days.
After the battle began, the 103rd Brigade relied on their superior firepower to fight the national army to the death. With the support of the aerial units, they fought fiercely for a day. Both sides suffered losses and the outcome was inconclusive.
Due to the emergency situation of the 103rd Brigade, that afternoon, Major General Dizhou sent out a regiment of 3800 soldiers to provide support. He also gave the order that the regiment would work with the 103rd Brigade to take down the 135th Division.
Zhou Weiguo led the army to fight an ambush in Lijiagou. Almost all the officers of the Japanese army knew about it. Dizhou Li Bing sent out scouts, starting from Lijiagou, all the way to the north and west to scout.
After night fell, the 135th Division, which had been fighting fiercely for the entire day, stopped attacking.
The Chief of Staff of the 103rd Brigade of the Japanese Army was named Yamamoto Ryuichi. Due to the dismissal of the brigade commander, he temporarily acted as the brigade commander. After learning that the Regiment Commander had sent reinforcements, Yamamoto Takayoshi planned to wait for them to arrive before counterattacking.
Zhou Weiguo brought a small number of his subordinates and sneaked into the Exploration Team Department of the 103rd Brigade in the south of Mingguang under the cover of night. They stopped about 700 to 800 meters away.
The Exploration Group Department was brightly lit, and there were also rotating high-power lights. Because it was close to the front line, it was heavily guarded.
The regiment commander was a major general, so he couldn't possess it at the moment. It seemed that he could only break through this restriction after his level increased.
However, possessing a regiment commander or an exploration team's chief of staff could still be very useful.
Zhou Weiguo observed the situation ahead through the binoculars.
The 103rd Brigade originally had 3100 people left, but after a day of fierce battle with the national army, they lost hundreds of people. The Exploration Group Department left over 400 people behind, and the rest were deployed to the position.
There were 230 people following Zhou Weiguo. They had all changed into the Japanese army's clothes, and the others were lurking one kilometer away.
"Regiment commander, there aren't many Japanese here. We have 2,000 people here. We can still take them out if we attack directly."”
" No," Zhou Weiguo said." We want to obtain the greatest victory with the smallest price." Let's observe for a while first."
