The new regiment didn't send troops. The 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army had the same opinion as Ding Wei.
In the headquarters of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei stood in front of the map. Chief of Staff Fang Ligong held a baton and explained on the map.
"Regiment Commander, the Japanese didn't send out many troops this time. There are more than 200 of them in total, and they are moving in four directions. Our regiment wants to attack them, and we are very confident that we can wipe them out, but we have to consider the situation after wiping out these Japanese troops.”
"According to the information we obtained and the investigation, the Japanese army's Sakata United has been strengthened by some vehicles. They are a strengthened brigade that can quickly maneuver through vehicles and can arrive at any location to participate in the battle at any time.”
" Furthermore, the Sakata United Team has received a portion of reinforcements. They suffered great losses in the battle of the Gray Cloud Ridge, but it was far from the point where they suffered severe injuries. They still have the ability to fight, so the price to pay to defeat these Japanese is too high.”
Fang Ligong said to Chu Yunfei with a helpless expression.
Chu Yunfei was sentimental. When he saw the Japanese slaughtering the people, he naturally wanted to help.
However, the battle plan of Sakata United's new commander Yoshida Maya was quickly seen through by them.
Yoshida Ma also sent out four reinforced squads to carry out a retaliatory sweep. This was the bait he threw out. Once any troops attacked these four reinforced squads, the mechanized infantry brigade under his command would quickly rush over, followed by the main force of the entire regiment.
His plan was to deal a devastating blow to the new group. As long as the new group dared to move out, his plan would be considered a success.
"These four teams have decent weapons and equipment. Based on our combat strength, we would need at least a battalion of soldiers to take them down. However, with such a large number of soldiers, it would not be easy to escape.”
Chu Yunfei took the horsewhip and walked back and forth in the regiment headquarters. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This was Yoshida Maya's shrewdness. The four reinforced teams were not weak.
If they wanted to take care of these four reinforced squads, no matter where they were from, if they sent out too few troops, they would be no match for them. If they sent out too many troops, they would be easily entangled by the Japanese mechanized infantry brigade and there was a risk of being completely wiped out.
If it was a mobile battle, the Japanese would be at a disadvantage if they were to fight against the Chinese.
Especially in Jin Province. During the early days of the war, the Japanese had a record of defeating hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops with nearly half a division of nearly 20,000 soldiers.
The 358th Regiment became silent. Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were silent for a while, and soon they looked at each other.
" Unless..." Chu Yunfei muttered to himself.
"Unless we have a small elite troop that can take down the Japanese's reinforced squad before the mechanized troop can react. The number of people in this small group could not be too large, or it would be easy to expose them. However, they had to have strong combat ability.”
Fang Ligong sighed slightly and continued what Chu Yunfei said.
When he finished speaking, Chu Yunfei shook his head helplessly. There was no such unit.
The two of them stopped talking. Although they had found a way to deal with it, they did not have such a small elite force under them.
It was obvious that Li Yunlong had also thought of this. That was why he said that the artillery would solve the problem.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the weather became gloomy. A cold wind blew, bringing with it a little coolness.
Kawashima Yu, who was wearing a military coat, sat in the sidecar of his motorcycle. He raised his binoculars and observed the village in front of him.
"Squad leader, Nanzhuang Village is just ahead. We haven't carried out a sweep yet. Let's set up camp here tonight.”
The Japanese squad leader looked at Kawashima Yu and said with a fawning smile.
"Hey, hurry up and move forward. I hope there are still some villagers here. If that's the case, we can enjoy ourselves.”
Kawashima Yu put down his binoculars and said with a cruel smile.
More than 60 Japanese rode motorcycles and sped toward Nanzhuang Village.
This group of Japanese was naturally one of the clean-up troops deployed by Yoshida Maya.
Over the next few days, Kawashima Yu commanded his troops to kill dozens of civilians and burn down many houses. They advanced all the way north.
Seeing that the troops in front of him had not been wiped out, Kawashima Yu could not wait to go, hoping to gain something in Nanzhuang Village.
Perhaps it was because they had not encountered any resistance forces in the past few days, the Japanese had obviously relaxed their vigilance.
"Captain, there are no traces of large numbers of troops nearby. This place is safe.”
A Japanese squad leader in charge of reconnaissance came to Kawashima Yu and reported.
"You don't have to be too nervous when you enter the village. As long as there's no resistance force, even if we encounter some resistance forces, we can completely deal with them. Moreover, the First Brigade could have quickly arrived by truck.”
A relaxed expression appeared on Kawashima's face. He waved his hand and led the team into the village.
Indeed, Kawajima had the right to be arrogant. These 60-plus Japanese were equipped with three light machine guns, three grenade launchers, and even a heavy machine gun and a mortar. With such firepower, even if they encountered a team of hundreds of people, they would be able to hold on until the First Brigade arrived.
One by one, motorcycles pushed along the only road into the village. The Japanese looked around, hoping that there were people in the village.
As long as there was someone, they could find the flower girl to enjoy themselves, and they could kill people for fun.
However, they did not know that there were indeed people in Nanzhuang Village. However, these people would not allow the Japanese to slaughter them. They were the King of Hell.
In Nanzhuang Village, Yang Chen looked at the Japanese not far away and kept staring at the militia nearby.
At this moment, Zhou Baoguo's second squad and Hu Dali's third squad were all hidden in the village, almost under the Japanese's nose.
As for Sun Xiu's first squad, they carried two 82mm mortars and set up an artillery position 1,000 meters outside the village.
The Japanese were indeed careless. If they had expanded their search area, they would have found something. Unfortunately, they did not do so.
As the Japanese entered the village, two mortars in the distance began to fire under Sun Xiu's command.
Two rounds of artillery fire were fired, followed by a series of deep shots!
Different from group shots, which had a plum blossom shaped impact point, deep shots had a straight line impact point.
The shells landed on the Japanese team one after another. Explosions sounded one after another, and shrapnel flew in all directions.
Dust flew everywhere, and the air in the village instantly became scorching hot.
The 60 Japanese soldiers under Kawashima Yu's command fell into a state of panic.
(Please help me send some flowers. There are too few. It says there's no motivation.)）
