Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders - Chapter 147 The Battle of the 3rd Regiment

"The Japanese have deployed the 109th Independent Mixed Brigade and the th Division in the Ping'an and Sixian areas, with the goal of targeting our troops in Northwest Shanxi.

Once we make a move, the Japanese divisions will pounce into the base like hungry wolves."

The Chief of Staff was a little anxious, "We can't just watch like this, can we?"

"My chief of staff, don't worry. Look at the intelligence sent by the independent brigade. I would never have dared to think of stationing a regiment in Yu County to stop the Japanese division.

Of course, no matter how the Independent Brigade responds, we still have to do what we should do.

I plan to have the newly formed 316th Division send a unit northwards to delay the 108th Division's march northwards.

I think if we delay for two days, the troops of the independent brigade should be back to Yu County."

"I'm going to contact the Independent Brigade now. What exactly does this Wang Ye want to do?"

After a while, he walked in with a normal expression. The division commander asked curiously, "What's that expression on your face? What is the independent brigade's plan?"

The Chief of Staff said mysteriously, "Let the scouts of each unit keep an eye on the 108th Division. I also want to know what the Independent Brigade is doing.

Wang Ye said that the 108th Division was seeking death, and told us not to worry and just follow our own plan. "

"Wow, this kid is very capable. Now he doesn't even take the Japanese division seriously?" the boss said in surprise.

At this time, the political commissar said, "Boss, I have some opinions."

"Talk about it."

"The Japanese deployed a division and a brigade to keep an eye on our base, which really put us in a passive position, but we can't just sit there and wait.

I propose that we send the 316th Brigade north to support Yu County, and then set up an encirclement within the base. Once the Japanese division breaks into the base,

"Bang!" The boss slammed the table, "This method is feasible, Chief of Staff, you lead the staff to formulate an action plan.

This time we will use the cover of the independent brigade to give the devils a good blow."

On the independent brigade side, Wang Ye informed each regiment of the situation faced by the troops, especially the 3rd and 6th Regiments that had just met north of Tok.

The head of the Third Regiment, Wang Daben, held Zhao Shengzheng's hand and said, "Captain Zhao, thank you for your hard work. You just came back from northeastern Shanxi and rushed here to support us without stopping."

"What are you talking about, Captain Daben? When the soldiers of our Sixth Regiment heard that we were going to fight the Japanese, they were so happy that they almost couldn't sleep.

I ordered the troops to rush as fast as they could and finally arrived.

Don’t you know what the situation is here now?”

Wang Daben took Zhao Shengzheng to the headquarters and said, "We are now 45 kilometers northwest of Tok and 160 kilometers away from Mengbao.

But now there is a problem. According to the reconnaissance unit's report, the Japanese cavalry group sent out a cavalry regiment and the 3rd cavalry division of the Japanese cavalry.

Defenses have been set up 30 kilometers to our right. If we follow the planned route, we are likely to run into them."

Zhao Shengzheng asked thoughtfully, "Captain Daben, I don't know much about the situation on the grassland. If we don't pass through their defenses, how should we get there?"

Wang Daben laughed and said, "Captain Zhao, I thought the same as you at first. There is no place in such a large grassland that we cannot walk.

Once we get stuck, no one can get out, especially tanks and armored vehicles like us, which is even more troublesome."

"So, we have to fight the devils?"

Zhao Shengzheng said with some excitement.

"It seems that we have to fight. The only problem now is that we must break through the defense of the Japanese cavalry regiment as quickly as possible.

Wang Daben was brought up by Wang Ye. The entire independent brigade attaches great importance to intelligence. As long as there is a military operation, intelligence from all aspects is of paramount importance.

"What else can I say? Fuck him!" After Zhao Shengzheng joined the independent brigade, he became more and more courageous.

The main point is, don’t care about life or death, just fight if you don’t accept it!

This was also what Wang Daben meant. If he hadn't been waiting for the Sixth Regiment to join him, he might have already rushed up.

Zhao Shengzheng had no choice but to agree when Wang Daben said this, but he kept a trick up his sleeve, "Captain Daben, your Third Regiment will fight this battle, and when the enemy is defeated, our Sixth Regiment must take action first."

"Deal!" Wang Daben replied immediately. The hidden Japanese cavalry group and the Second Japanese cavalry division have tens of thousands of people in total. How much can a regiment of 2000 people accomplish? They will definitely act together when the time comes.

By the time the Sixth Regiment had finished eating and drinking, the Third Regiment had already boarded the vehicles and was heading towards the Japanese, with the Sixth Regiment running not far behind them.

75 kilometers northwest of Tok, the temporary headquarters of the Japanese cavalry regiment.

The wing chief of staff, Yamagamiyakou, asked in confusion.

The cavalry commander, Watanabe, stroked his mustache and said solemnly,

"Yamagami-kun, you don't understand. I'm not defending. I'm waiting!"

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Why?" The man at the mountain pass was puzzled.

"I have received reliable intelligence that this Tubalu is very different from other troops. They are highly mechanized and have powerful automatic firepower.

The main reason why our cavalry is strong is its mobility. Now this biggest advantage is gone.

So as soon as the Tubalu troops arrived, I would immediately lead my troops to retreat and never fight them in the field."

"Sir, this is a sign of cowardice and incompetence. I order you to march out immediately and find the main force of the Eighth Route Army for a decisive battle. Otherwise, I will report to the commander of the corps."
