Chapter 110 Adding 1 Battalion
"Your Excellency, the...division commander." The adjutant asked cautiously.
You must not be stupid. The 11th Brigade headquarters is gone, but you still have another brigade.
"Bakayaluo." Tani Hisao shouted loudly and drew out his command knife.
When the adjutant saw the shiny command knife, he swallowed his saliva and closed his eyes helplessly.
He shouldn't have said so much, otherwise the knife might be used to chop him.
With a clang, the command knife hit the stone next to him. The adjutant shuddered and opened his eyes.
His face turned purple with anger. This was the first time he had seen such a situation since he followed the division commander.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, please calm down. All the officers and soldiers of our Sixth Division are still waiting for you to avenge the 11th Brigade." The adjutant carefully persuaded.
How to calm down your anger?
Come to support. During this period, our division fought most fiercely and tenaciously, and the attack was very successful.
But who could have known that a disaster would strike suddenly and the enemy would destroy their brigade headquarters in one fell swoop.
No, it was more than just a brigade headquarters. If he was not mistaken, the 13th Regiment in front and a battalion in the back that was preparing to go up for reinforcement had all been wiped out by the enemy. Otherwise, how could they have come here?
How did they do it? They didn't even give Musashi a chance to notify the people behind and give Ushijima Mitsuru a chance to prepare.
Tani Hisao was depressed. He let out a long sigh and looked at the messy brigade headquarters.
He didn't plan to go in. Instead of seeing this sad scene, he might as well go to his superior and admit his mistake properly.
Worth it.
Xue Lao Hu looked at the military rank in front of him and gave an immediate evaluation in his mind.
It was worth it for him to mobilize the entire army to contain the enemy, and at the same time let Commander Zhang order the entire army to advance to buy time for the independent regiment.
In the first battle, we destroyed one brigade headquarters, one regiment headquarters, and the battalion headquarters of the enemy, including one major general, two colonels, and seven or eight lieutenant colonels. The command system of a brigade of the 6th Division was completely scrapped.
"Okay, I will celebrate for them personally." Xue Lao Hu was full of confidence. He put his hands on his hips, swept the military ranks on the table and said to General Yu in front of him.
Commander Yu smiled and said, "Commander, they mobilized the entire regiment and caught the enemy by surprise. We seized a lot of supplies, but we are only short of gasoline.
Xue Lao Hu knew that the independent regiment had tanks, and quite a few of them, and he also had some understanding of the battles that had taken place.
Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment quickly suppressed the enemy with artillery fire, advanced with tanks and anti-aircraft machine guns, and cleaned up with infantry. It was a completely neat command method.
Actually, not many people here understand this kind of infantry-artillery coordination.
"I will report this to the higher-ups immediately. In addition, I personally suggest that the captured tanks be kept in the independent battalion. These things will be of great use if they remain in his hands."
He had figured out that the tanks had to be concentrated together to exert their power. Previously, the tanks were dispersed, but it didn't have much effect.
Commander Yu was stunned for a moment, and he also understood what Xue Lao Hu was thinking. He lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Commander, you are right. However, the organization of the independent regiment may be..."
"He is a member of the reinforced regiment. It doesn't matter if he has more or fewer people. I will transfer an infantry battalion to him. In addition, I will quickly find tank maintenance personnel and technicians for him."
"Yes." Commander Yu stood at attention and thought for a moment. "Commander, Zhou Weiguo promised to let his regiment eat as much braised pork as possible during the attack. What do you think about this matter..."
"Here, give them ten pigs." Commander Xue waved his hand with high spirits and thought to himself.
Ten pigs in exchange for these heads is totally worth it.
After the independent regiment withdrew from the front, it was ordered to rest in a town more than ten kilometers behind, and thus it was separated from the front line.
"Weiguo, why do we have to evacuate here?" Fang Shengli jumped out of the car, looked at this sparsely populated town and asked in confusion.
Zhou Weiguo got off the car with a canvas roof and shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe the commander feels sorry for us and wants us to rest for a few days."
Ono was not unhappy at all. This time, he had no shortage of supplies to sell, and Xu Hu's team had already gone to rob, so he had plenty of money.
"It's considerate of me, you guys just take a rest." Xiao Ye brushed off the dust on his body and muttered, "You guys can take a rest, but I can't. I still need to sort these supplies, and then send those that need to be sent, and sell those that need to be sold."
"Thank you for your hard work. I will find you a few assistants when the time comes. You are the finance minister of our independent regiment. I don't want you to die of exhaustion at your workbench." Zhou Weiguo turned his head and looked at him.
"Bah, what are you talking about? I won't die even if you do." Xiao Ye spit on the ground and pointed at Zhou Weiguo; "Wait for me to come back and drink together."
Ono hurriedly took the people from the quartermaster department to the back.
Zhou Weiguo went in to take a look at the town. Most of the people in the town had already evacuated. The only ones left were some old men and women who were reluctant to leave their homes.
"The troops are stationed outside the town, looking for a place with trees and shelters. The regiment is looking for a place outside the town, and we will not go in."
There are only wooden houses, mostly tiled ones. If the Japanese army were to send bombers to this town, the damage done by the bombers would be multiplied several times.
The regiment headquarters was set up in a place outside where people were cutting grass. There were several houses nearby, which served as the regiment headquarters.
I had just arranged everything when I heard footsteps outside.
Liu Jun, the commander of the first battalion of the outer security force, ran in and said, "Commander, there is a force coming from outside, the size of a battalion."
A battalion has arrived. What is this for?
Zhou Weiguo was a little confused while looking at the map.
Fang Shengli widened his eyes and asked tentatively, "You won't give us additional troops, will you?"
There were losses in this battle, Zhou Weiguo estimated that this was the case.
Liu Jun shook his head and said, "No, they were ordered to come here to join the independent regiment directly, and the additional troops are still behind."
"What." Zhou Weiguo exclaimed, and gave himself another battalion. He was a little unconvinced and walked out immediately.
Looking at the soldiers who were only carrying rifles and a few machine guns, Zhou Weiguo was disheveled in the wind.
Commander, you are going to expand yourself into half a brigade. A brigade has two regiments, and your independent regiment already has three battalions. Add these four battalions, plus the rest of the auxiliary forces, then... then it will really be just half a brigade of the rest of the troops.
Fang Shengli looked at the people standing in line and a major running over. He trembled as he lit a cigarette and asked Zhou Weiguo beside him, "Is this a blessing or a curse?"
People are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. The independent regiment was so excited about defeating the 11th Brigade this time that Fang Shengli suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing to be happy about.
