Chapter 414 Another lesson for the brigade commander

When Zhou Cheng and Tang Yufeng entered Chengjia Station for the second time, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield completely stopped.

The huge railway station has been blown into ruins, with ruins and burning beams everywhere.

The worst thing here is the hundreds of Japanese corpses, most of which are concentrated in the guard station. It is difficult to find an intact corpse after a glance. Many Japanese corpses were blown into minced meat, and the ground where the station was located was stained with blood, and there was no place to settle down.

Tang Yufeng was stunned and looked at Zhou Cheng again, with admiration in his eyes.

When the regiment commander decided to kill the Japanese and fire back, he, as the deputy regiment commander, did not agree.

The Japanese army had a large brigade of troops. Although they were not in the same corps, there must be six or seven hundred people, and they were all field troops with strong combat power.

There are only three infantry companies on the National Salvation Army, and the total force is just over 400.

If the troops did not seriously damage the Japanese during the battle, but instead were attacked by them, the losses would be great.

The last time the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army jointly attacked the enemy-occupied area, although it severely damaged the Honda United, it also paid a huge price.

Before the losses of the main force were filled, the troops began to attack the Zhengtai Railway in order to grab the power generation equipment and attack the Jingxing Coal Mine.

After a few days, although the losses of the participating troops have not been counted, because the opponent is the Honda United, which is becoming more and more familiar with the National Salvation Army, the losses will definitely be less.

If the three companies here were killed or severely injured by killing the Japanese, the National Salvation Army would definitely have an unprecedented loss, and it might be possible that they would be destroyed.

The regiment received information that the Japanese army had already noticed that the defense zone of the National Salvation Army had empty forces and assembled three strengthening squadrons to enter the defense zone for damage. They were now being dragged by left-behind troops and militia troops.

If there is an accident in the troops here and cannot return to the aid defense zone immediately, and the left-behind troops and militia units fail to hold back the Japanese, the defense zone of the National Rescue Military will definitely be devastating.

Tang Yufeng's rebuttal was reasonable and well-founded, but Zhou Cheng was not persuaded and still insisted on killing the Japanese at the train station and retaliating because the reasons he gave were also very sufficient.

The Japanese army marched all the way to the railway station, and they must be very tired. They were eager to enter the railway station to rest. The sudden attack by the National Salvation Army would definitely catch them off guard.

Although the military advantage lies in the hands of the Japanese, the artillery advantage lies in the side of the National Salvation Army.

A round of artillery shells hit the Japanese base. As long as they can severely damage them, the infantry can kill the Japanese.

If artillery fire cannot severely damage them, the troops will immediately stop attacking...

With these arrangements, no matter what the final result is, whether there will be an accident in the middle, the National Salvation Army will be invincible.

The regiment commander's insistence was not in vain. As soon as the five-minute artillery fire was over, the Japanese at the station at the railway station collapsed. As soon as the offensive troops appeared on the battlefield under the cover of armored vehicles, the Japanese who escaped from the railway station began to retreat and did not have the courage to confront the National Salvation Army.

"Captain, look at the corpses of the Japanese in the garrison. Our artillery fire just now covered at least 300 Japanese devils!" Tang Yufeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Only more or less!" Zhou Cheng's reaction was much colder, and he was even a little disappointed.

Tang Yufeng was very puzzled: "Captain, you don't seem very happy?"

Zhou Cheng did not hide his inner thoughts: "The Japanese are slipping too fast."

"I could see clearly when the train station was bombarded just now that the heavy machine guns and mortars equipped by the Japanese were not brought out, and only more than 200 remaining soldiers ran out. If they didn't slip away and fought a battle with us outside the railway station, they would definitely be defeated by us. There would be no problem killing more than 200 Japanese!

Tang Yufeng didn't expect that the regiment commander had such a big appetite, and he was not satisfied with killing three or four hundred Japanese devils with one round of artillery fire. He couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"I think the battle results are already very great. All the heavy weapons brought by the Japanese are in the train station. Although they will be bombed by shells, they will definitely be damaged. I estimate that three or four mortars and three or four heavy machine guns will definitely be captured."

"There are also rifles and ammunition. Aren't we going to expand our troops? There is no problem with so many Japanese corpses being buried at the train station, and it is definitely not a problem to seize the good equipment of an infantry company."

"When the arsenal is put into production, we can repair weapons. The weapons that were blown up can be repaired a lot, and we will definitely be able to arm another company. In addition, we captured the weapons and ammunition seized by the railway station, and the weapons gap in a main battalion will be solved. You are not satisfied yet. You are so greedy."

"I will organize troops to clean the battlefield now and ensure that no bullet shell is left to the Japanese!"

Zhou Cheng smiled bitterly. As the maker and commander of the entire battle, he definitely hoped to eliminate more enemies.

But now that things have come to this point, no matter how unwilling I feel, I have to accept this fact.

Following the order: "Apart from weapons and ammunition, the broken railway tracks, we drove from Jingxing Coal Mine, and the front of the train, and all the fronts were dismantled into parts and taken away."

"After this battle, there will definitely be no Japanese to come to the train station before dawn. We have time to clean the battlefield."

Yangquan Japanese Army Brigade Command, starting from 6:30 pm, Major General Honda asked if there was any news about the Fourth Brigade in the telecommunications room every half an hour, and asked until 10 pm, and they all returned in disappointment.

The worry on his face became stronger and stronger.

He was particularly worried that the Fourth Battalion would have an accident during the raid on the railway station, but after thinking about it, he rejected this concern.

On the battlefield, the Fourth Battalion has an absolute advantage in military strength and its firepower is not bad. No matter how bad it is, it can tie the country's rescue army and will never fail.

At half past ten, when Major General Honda, who was worried, was about to speak again, the communications officer suddenly ran in panic: "General, something happened to the Fourth Brigade!"

"When the troops arrived at the railway station, the National Rescue Army had retreated, and all the mining equipment transported on the train was transported away."

"In order to avoid accidents, the troops did not go deep into the National Rescue Army defense zone to pursue the defense zone and temporarily entered the railway station to rest. As a result, the National Rescue Army actually hid at least one battalion of mountain artillery and mortars nearby. After the troops were stationed, they bombarded the railway station from a long distance, resulting in heavy casualties of the Fourth Battalion. In order not to be completely wiped out by the National Rescue Army's attacking troops, the remaining troops had to evacuate the railway station!"

"Now they have retreated to a stronghold ten kilometers northwest of Chengjia Station, and there are more than 350 people left in the brigade!"

"The National Salvation Army used a battalion of artillery troops?" Hearing this, Major General Honda realized that he had miscalculated again.

Compared with the artillery units of a battalion, the eight or nine mortars carried by the Fourth Battalion are no match for the enemy. Without artillery fire cover, no matter how many infantry the Fourth Battalion is, they will be suppressed by the national rescue army and will eventually be killed."

The shocked brigade commander was taught another lesson by the National Rescue Army.

On the battlefield, any flaws that you exposed may be used by them, and a counterattack will eventually turn defeat into victory.

At this time, the brigade commander thought of the three reinforcement squadrons that were attacking the National Rescue Military Defense Zone.

The National Salvation Army can defeat the more with less at Chengjia Railway Station and use the advantage of artillery fire to severely damage one of its own infantry brigades.

Will the troops left behind in the defense zone also use any advantages they don’t know to severely damage the three reinforcement squadrons?

Moreover, the battle at Chengjia Railway Station has ended, and the National Salvation Army concentrated there can return to the rear of the country at any time.

If they concentrated their superior forces to attack the three reinforced squadrons, he would have no chance to run away.

Major General Honda's more worried the more he thinks.

The three reinforcement squadrons were composed of three garrisons who drew elite veterans and mixed forces. If they were not taken advantage of, an accident would definitely cause severe damage to the three garrisons, making it more difficult for them to recover their combat effectiveness.

I was very anxious to order: "Hurry up and contact us to attack the three strengthening squadrons of the National Rescue Military Defense Zone. No matter what they are doing, they will retreat immediately after receiving the order and leave the National Rescue Military Defense Zone as quickly as possible."

In Banpo Village, Xiyang County, the Japanese devils who were attacking the defense zone were stationed here tonight.

The people in the village have been transferred to the mountains by militias, while the militias from several nearby villages have all gathered here, preparing to use the night to clean up the Japanese.

The Third Company of the First Battalion, which was left behind in the defense zone, was on the way here and rushed to the outside of the village at 11:00 pm as agreed.

Several militia captains were veterans from the main force. Because they were injured and unable to return to the old army, they were assigned to militia to train and command militia in various villages.

They have been on the battlefield and fought the Japanese. They finally encountered the opportunity to fight the Japanese here, so they definitely don’t want to stay outside the village and wait.

As soon as it dark, they shot cold guns into the village and slammed the Japanese, so that they could not rest.

The Japanese squadron leader knew that the National Salvation Army was angering him and forced him to send troops. He kept holding back the troops. He asked the machine gunners to shoot wherever the gun was fired outside the village, and forced the National Salvation Army to retreat with firepower.

The result was contrary to expectations. The militia did not advance and were forced to retreat by their firepower counterattack. Instead, they became more and more arrogant as they fought.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, a militia actually touched more than 30 meters from the entrance of the village and threw two grenades at the garrison.

Seeing at least three subordinates at the resident fall into a pool of blood with the explosion, the squadron leader couldn't bear it anymore.

If the National Salvation Army continues to struggle, not only will the troops not be able to rest, but there may be soldiers who will die next.

Today I spent the day in the cold gun. In the end, if the gun didn't sound for ten minutes, he would be a little uncomfortable.

Although the sneak attackers have poor shooting skills, they cannot withstand their high frequency of shooting cold guns.

In addition to the casualties caused by landmines, the attacking troops lost more than 30 people without even touching the main force of the National Salvation Army.

If the troops lost more than 30 more people tonight, a full infantry team would be gone.

In order to allow the troops to sleep well tonight and have more energy to continue to attack the National Salvation Military Defense Zone tomorrow, and to reduce unnecessary losses of the troops, the captain decided to take a gamble, no longer passively beating, and take the initiative to attack...

This is a tactic and tactic discussed by several captains of the militia.

Although the Japanese are very cautious, as long as everyone's sneak attack frequency is high enough, there will always be times when they are forced to force them.

Once they take the initiative to send troops to attack, everyone’s chance will come!
