Chapter 130 Cavalry Regiment, Charge—

"General, the front line has stabilized its defense line and has completely withstood the Japanese attack." Chief of Staff Liu Bin didn't even bother with the sweat from his forehead. He was sweating and rushed to Sheng Shicai's command center with breathlessness.

It is actually just a soil nest. There is a lack of trees on the grassland, not to mention thick logs, and fireworks are just a luxury.

It is already good to have a place that is not targeted by the Japanese.

"Hurry, tell me about the battle situation on the front line." Sheng Shicai personally handed the kettle to Liu Bin. For the generals under his command, let alone relying on them, he almost entrusted all the troops to Liu Bin for command.

If it weren't for the underground generals, Sheng Shicai was promoted by Sheng Shicai himself, it would be easy for Liu Bin to launch a military change. However, Liu Bin was loyal and suppressed his personal power for Sheng Shicai who promoted him to a high position.

Liu Bin took the kettle gratefully, drank half of the kettle of water in one breath, and then smeared it on his mouth randomly, and said to Sheng Shicai: "The Yangshutang Brigade went up and organized two death charges to block the Japanese army. Now our army has two brigades on the front line, and two regiments of Ma Yanliang's cavalry division on the flanks, and is looking for fighter jets. As long as the cavalry outside cooperates with infantry operations, it will be a matter of time before breaking through the Japanese defense."

Liu Bin's optimism stems from his observation of the Japanese army's forces.

Yesterday, the 8th Army was ambushed by the Japanese army, and there was actually no real ambush on the grassland. It was just that the Japanese army was somewhat surprised. The cavalry who was originally preparing to welcome Fu Zuoyi to meet the troops, but found that it was not Fu Zuoyi's Jinsui Army, but the Japanese.

After a hurry of fighting, Sheng Shicai's infantry division also established a simple position, and the trenches were not too late to dig, but it was not difficult for soldiers to dig a pit when their lives were threatened.

In this way, Sheng Shicai's elite brigade first met the Japanese army.

When the war started, it was discovered that the Japanese were not weaker than the ** brigade. The brigade commander Yang Zhengzhong immediately sent someone to Sheng Shicai for reinforcements.

A field battle made Yang Zhengzhong cry without tears. He watched the Japanese army struggle in front of the machine gun position of the ** Brigade. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the Japanese touched the position and caught his two battalions off guard. Even so, his brigade had only suffered more than 200 casualties during the day and fought with the Japanese brigades, and the casualties were not as great as the casualties of hundreds of Japanese soldiers at night.

Moreover, the losses of a heavy machine gun company made him even more angry.

If Sheng Shicai hadn't been afraid that the troops of the family would suffer too much, and would not recover in the future and lose the strength to challenge Fu Zuoyi, Yang Zhengzhong would have really had to waste his time with the Japanese. As a tiger general under Sheng Shicai, Yang Zhengzhong would only have the word "tiger" in war, and he had a stubborn role in fighting.

Good news came in a crowd of people. Just as Liu Bin was chatting with Sheng Shicai, who was relaxed, Yue Zhufei hurried over and smiled without saying a word. It was obviously good news: "Sheng Gong, Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army has been in contact, and the main force of the 101st Division of his elite division is less than two hundred miles away from us. Chief Fu's intention is that the two armies will meet in two days and encircle the Japanese army that blocked yours, annihilate the Japanese invaders, and strengthen their power for Sheng Gong."

"Oh, Mr. Fu really said that?" Sheng Shicai said suspiciously.

"Can this be fake?" Yue Zhufei immediately raised the telegram in front of Sheng Shicai and smiled: "The telegrams from the Commissioner's Office, the Chief Officer's Office of the Second World War Zone, and the 35th Army Department are all here, and the situation has been clearly explained."

After handing the telegram to Sheng Shicai, Yue Zhufei continued: "If it weren't for the 101st Division, General Dong Qiwu, who encountered Japanese attacks on the road, would have been in peace with Sheng Guild. If that were the case, it would be impossible for the Japanese army to clamor."

Yue Zhufei was the major general in charge of all intelligence in the Battle of the First World War. During the Battle of Western Shandong, elite Japanese troops such as the 16th Division were also wiped out. At that time, there were 6 generals alone, and the assistant officials became a foil, taking one basket at a time.

Thinking of the scene at that time, when looking at the embarrassing situation of Shengshicai's troops being a Japanese infantry brigade, Yue Zhufei also felt a lot of emotion.

Elite, too cheap!

Compared with the 16th Division, the ** Second Brigade is considered a fancy? It is nothing but a little character, and it is not in Yue Zhufei's eyes. He thought that if Zeng Yiyang's 40th Army, maybe in just one day, this second-rate Japanese brigade would have been gnawed.

Speaking of Yue Zhufei's eyes, it is also a blessing and a misfortune to have Zeng Yiyang in the First War Zone.

Fortunately, the Japanese army was really scared by Zeng Yiyang. Shortly after the 16th Division was destroyed, the two divisions of the Japanese Central China dispatched troops that had entered northern Jiangsu were afraid of being targeted by Zeng Yiyang, so they gave up their plan to continue northward. After joining forces with the Fifth Division in Xuzhou, they attacked the Hubei gateway from the even more difficult mountainous area in southern Henan.

This is very rare in Sino-Japanese wars.

At that time, the senior military advisers in the base camp were alarmed, and even Chiang Kai-shek's face changed for this.

Unfortunately, the *** in Henan and Shandong have completely become a different look.

He accepted it by serving as a foil for the 40th Army, and even used it as a negative teaching material, which made the generals of the great *** very dissatisfied. For example, Hu Zongnan's 17th Army, the war was not good, but he was labeled as incompetent, which made Prince Hu so angry that he jumped up and down, which was very lively.

However, even if Hu Zongnan had another chance to severely damage the Japanese army, he could not seize it. In the middle of the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army entered Anhui from northern Jiangsu and southern Henan to attack the defense of the northern line of Wuhan. When the two Japanese divisions advanced to Hubei's gateway to Henan, Hu Zongnan's 17th Army, 7 divisions, a cannon brigade, and a tank brigade, actually hurriedly retreated after resisting the Japanese for a week, which was a shame.

"What is Director Yue thinking, so enchanting?" Sheng Shicai saw Yue Zhufei's dazed look, as if he was recalling something. So he asked curiously.

"Oh, nothing. I just remembered the war in Shandong last year." Yue Zhufei smiled awkwardly. As a senior figure in the Military Control Commission, he would even sigh at the general of **, which made him feel alert.

"The Battle of Western Shandong?" Sheng Shicai seemed to be recalling, but his heart was like a mirror.

In the Battle of Western Shandong, the entire Japanese 16th Division was destroyed. This was not the Battle of Baoding or the counterattack of Shanxi Eastern Front. Those annihilated Japanese troops were said to be one division, but in fact they were only half the division's strength, and they were only one brigade. The number of people was only ten thousand, which was not considered a classic battle.

In the Battle of Baoding, the First World War Zone invested 150,000 troops, 200 artillery pieces, and the Northeast Army tank battalion, and the firepower of the Japanese army several times that of the Japanese army. If you can't win, you will lose the face of the most powerful people. If you win, you won't have anything to shout.

But Shandong is different. A division of 28,000 people finally fled the battlefield alive.

An inconspicuous battle, but the final result of the victory at the strategic level, surprised the military scientists, and even reported it from foreign media.

After all, there was a Japanese brigade staring at him fiercely, and Sheng Shicai's sigh also came to an abrupt end with the reminder of the adjutant.

Sheng Shicai smiled slightly, concealing the excitement in his heart, and sighed: "General Zeng is a god! But anti-Japanese war is not just a person, but we need to work hard for a single army. Speaking of which, I am also from Northeast China. A young man left his home to travel to Japan. In order to make a strong country and a strong army, he wasted most of his life while wandering around, and was ashamed of his hometown..."

Yue Zhufei said, "Donald Sheng is not as rude as himself. Let's see who will be the ups and downs outside the pass in the future. Duke Sheng will definitely leave his name in history."

"Thank you to Director Yue Jiyan, Sheng thanked me." Sheng Shicai thought for a while, and then said: "Now my company has blocked the Japanese attack. There is also a cavalry division on the periphery, and you can join the war in a moment. As long as the reinforcements of the 35th Army can appear on the battlefield in time, and with great victory, Sheng will definitely elect Director Yue as the first meritorious person."

"You can't take it, you can't take it!" Yue Zhufei waved his hands repeatedly, but the smile on his face was even better.

After seeing Yue Zhufei off, Liu Bin walked to Sheng Shicai and said unhappily: "The Third and Fifth Regiments have been arranged as guards at night. Is there anything else to tell the General Office?"

"You can do what is on the battlefield." Sheng Shicai comforted. Unlike Chiang Kai-shek, Sheng Shicai's control over the army was not based on command over power, but rather on the promotion of all officers and military pay and military supplies. He believed that this was the leader of the army.

As long as the military pay and military supplies are controlled, even if the officers are making trouble, they will be just a small internal conflict and will not affect their control over the troops.

"What else do you have to say, don't hide it from me, I won't eat people?" Sheng Shicai had no choice but to be in a state of mind. After he was happy, he actually started joking.

"It's still the issue of the Cavalry Division. Logically speaking, the Cavalry Division is on the right wing of the infantry. Although the commander of the general commander to wait for an opportunity to move on the periphery, should it gradually approach our troops? When it meets the 35th Army, it will give a fatal blow to the Japanese army?" Liu Bin said cautiously.

Sheng Shicai thought about it, sighed, and said, "Ma Yanliang is a general who defends the city. As long as the troops are here, I can already comfort me."

Sheng Shicai's evaluation was like scolding Ma Yanliang in front of him.

But Liu Bin did not show any strange look. Sheng Shicai had few generals who could fight, and most of the commanders were mediocre. This was also related to Sheng Shicai's lack of foundation and no one surrendered to him. Those who are capable would not have thought of surrendering to him if they did not reach the dead end.

If not, when Sheng Shicai was in Mongolia, he would have his division commanders take turns to Soviet military academies to study, and even the battle with the Japanese army would be in vain.

What Sheng Shicai didn't expect was that Ma Yanliang did match his comments very well.

In particular, his two cavalry regiments were wandering within fifty kilometers around the battlefield, and they did not find that the 101st Division of the Jinsui Army was within fifty miles outside the battlefield. Zeng Yiyang and 8,000 people from the first column also appeared within forty miles of the battlefield.

Ma Yanliang, who was under great pressure, was even marching, chasing a group of wild yellow sheep, and capturing a few fat wild yellow sheep, and having a barbecue.

In Xiaohewan, a column of cavalry regiment placed the horses behind a hill. The regiment commander Gerile was taking several battalion commanders to observe the movements of the Japanese army.

"Send the order to let the soldiers dig wells in the depression and let the horses drink water. Do not be able to go to the small river bay to get water, and engage in violation of the military law. Tomorrow morning, the soldiers should take down the Japanese artillery positions in one go, so that the warriors should be careful not to destroy the cannons." Gerile stared at the Japanese army in the distance, feeling uncomfortable as if they were cat-clawed.

"Captain, the leader asked us to kill all the Japanese artillery and blow up all the shells. But he didn't say that he would also pull the captured cannons back!" political commissar Ulaanbari reminded.

"This?" There are not many Mongolian men who have been to the Anti-Japanese War. Gerile is one, but he can speak and write Chinese and can learn how many skills he can learn, even if he doesn't even know.

The reason why he never left his enemy's weapons on the battlefield naturally made him very puzzled.

"The chief's idea is not something you and I can guess. I think you and I should follow the chief's instructions. Don't be unhappy. After the battle, you will know the deep meaning of the chief." Ulaanbari didn't understand. He thought the simplest and most effective way. Just follow the leader. The soldier's duty is to obey!

"I'm really unwilling to give up!" Gerile looked at the mountain cannons in the distance with greed. There were probably as many as 12, and it was possible to form a cannon regiment.

If the cavalry regiment had such an artillery regiment.

Then immediately turn a pheasant into a phoenix, and a field cavalry brigade can be expanded. Like the Japanese cavalry brigade, it will become a fast support force. It will act fast and have strong firepower, and will become a sharp sword to break the deadlock on the battlefield.

"Don't think so much. You don't know the depth of our group. This time I'm lucky to be able to follow the leader to the Northeast. You won't think you're about to arrive at your destination. Being driven back by the leader!" It's time for Ulaanbari to break the cold water for Gerile.

Gerile glanced at his partner in dismay, and said with great resentment: "If I had a sister, I would never let her marry you."

Ulaanbari laughed loudly, glanced at the fierce-looking commander of the Grile, and said with lingering fear: "If you really want to have a sister, who dares to marry me?"

In the past, if the cavalry regiment of Gerile was either responsible for transportation tasks or cleaned the battlefield. When fighting tough battles, the cavalry commander Liu Zhidan never thought of him. The number of the Mongolian Cavalry regiment looked loud, and it was also a marginal force on the 40th Army.

But Gerile was not convinced and said to himself: I have also fought against the horse bandits and have never fought against the puppet army. But who is the man on the grassland who is afraid of death?

This time, Zeng Yiyang ordered his general and had long wanted to do it beautifully. He could destroy all the Japanese and could not let anyone go.

Not only that, but these cannons must be pulled back.

The next day, just after dawn, the grassland in the distance looked dark and speechless.

More than a thousand soldiers of the cavalry regiment stood behind the slope, walked up the top of the slope neatly, tied the reins, and waited for the artillery attack.

All-in-one——, four 81mm heavy mortars sent four shells into the sky.

"Warriors, what should I do if the wolf breaks into the flock?" Grile's loud voice roared with Ulaanba Gergan beside him.

"Kill--" the soldiers shouted neatly.

Grile shouted to the trumpet soldiers beside him: "Blow the trumpet, charge."
