Volume 1 Chapter 060: One regiment is not enough, what about two regiments?
Wang Xikui scanned back and forth several times with the sniper rifle.
Although it is impossible to determine the exact number of enemies, but looking at the heads all over the mountains, we know that the number of enemies is definitely not small.
At least one group or more!
"Hey. There are too many enemies. And they are very careful. The officers are all in the team, so it is difficult to snipe them. Soldiers are meaningless and it is easy to expose the position! Wait and see. If it really doesn't work, forget it this time!"
"Yeah!" Lin Yong nodded in agreement.
Wang Xikui blew the sound of birds singing.
A specific pattern of six long and one short bird calls conveyed his orders.
After several actual combat trainings, as the sniper squad's combat experience increased.
The sniper squad no longer gathers together to set ambushes like they used to.
For safety reasons, and also to prevent the enemy from finding the exact location of the sniper squad in a short period of time.
The sniper squad consists of two people in a group, and they are divided into three groups to ambush each other, and it is possible to ambush hundreds of meters away.
In order to facilitate communication, Chu Yunfei set up a set of bird calls for them to convey simple commands.
Soon, two bird calls were heard.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xikui knew that this was a response from Wang Dayong and his men who were lying in ambush all around.
Knowing that the soldiers were all clear, Wang Xikui felt relieved and continued to lie there and monitor the Imperial Army.
As soon as the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army was dispatched, Chu Yunfei found out within an hour.
Heyuan County is the next county to the 358th Regiment.
If we don't know about the movements of the Imperial Army and the Japanese Army in the first place, the grass on our graves will be three feet high.
In the regiment command room, Chu Yunfei looked at the movements of the Imperial Army on the sand table and felt a little confused.
What exactly does the Imperial Army want to do by setting up the turtle formation?
He asked Chief of Staff Fang Ligong, "Officer Fang, what do you think the Imperial Army wants to do?"
Chu Yunfei was mainly responsible for the general direction of the 358th Regiment, such as who to attack.
The staff headed by Fang Ligong was responsible for the details, such as how to fight.
After the sniper squad was sent out, Chu Yunfei no longer cared about it.
However, Fang Ligong would ask about their battle situation in detail every two or three days.
He knew more about the situation of the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army than Chu Yunfei.
"Commander, the sniper squad has caused considerable casualties to the Imperial Army during this period, posing a great threat to the Japanese officers. I heard that two days ago, a company commander of the puppet army shot his commander dead because he was afraid of being taken into the mountains, and ran away with his men!"
"Oh! There is another thing!" Chu Yunfei was very interested when he heard it and said, "If that's the case, it makes sense. But with the puppet army doing this, it's hard for Wang Xikui and his men to take action. Staff Officer Fang, if my regiment goes out, can we swallow up these puppet troops in one go?"
Fang Ligong looked at the puppet army's marching route and lowered his head in thought.
"Commander, according to reliable information, the total number of the Imperial Army's Sixth Mixed Brigade is about 4,600 people. They have more than 3,000 rifles and more than 200 pistols. They have 32 light machine guns and 4 heavy machine guns. There are no heavy weapons!"
"It shouldn't be difficult to defeat this Imperial Army. But the puppet army is very cautious this time, and they sent out a lot of scouts. It's not easy to ambush them. Moreover, the Imperial Army has set up this turtle formation, so it's impossible to defeat them in a short time. Once we get stuck and get bit by the Japanese army, our army will be in trouble!"
Chu Yunfei looked at the sand table and sighed, "Is there really no way? The puppet soldiers finally got out of the cave. It's so painful to see that they can't eat!"
Fang Ligong shook his head and said, "We can't do it alone. The nearest 94th Regiment of the 35th Army is in western Shanxi. It's impossible to get there in a short time!"
The 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment, because Chu Yunfei is from Wutai, Shanxi and is highly valued by Yang Aiyuen.
More importantly, this regiment is the outer barrier of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, a bridgehead for defending against the Japanese and Communist troops, and the forefront of the defense zone.
It is also because of this that many units of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were not fully staffed, but the 358th Regiment was overstaffed and even had an artillery battalion.
The treatment is the best, but also the most dangerous.
Even the 94th Regiment, a brother unit of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, was more than 80 kilometers away.
Neither rescue nor coordinated operations can be relied upon.
If one group can’t do it, what about two groups?
The 94th Regiment cannot be relied upon, so what about the New 2nd Regiment?
Chu Yunfei looked around and whispered, "What if we join forces with the New Second Regiment? Can we kill these puppet troops?"
"The New Second Regiment? Kong Jie's unit of the Eighth Route Army?" Fang Ligong was very confused. Why did the regiment commander suddenly think of joining forces with the Eighth Route Army?
He hurriedly advised, "Commander, it's not appropriate to join forces with the Eighth Route Army! You know, to fight together with them, you need a written order from the commander of the war zone. And if we join forces, who will get the credit? How will the spoils be counted? Besides, we don't know the exact location of the enemy, so there's no way to notify them!"
Chu Yunfei looked at the other party and said seriously. "You don't have to worry about these, you just need to answer me. If we join forces with the New Second Regiment, can we defeat the puppet army in one fell swoop?"
"This..." Fang Ligong had a battle going on in his mind. He opened his eyes and said, " If the New Second Regiment attacks fiercely, the puppet army will have to adjust its formation and do its best to stop them. Then our regiment will suddenly launch an attack from behind and attack the puppet army's rear camp. The chances of winning are very high!"
Chu Yunfei made a decision and said, "Okay! Order the whole regiment to prepare for battle and call Shen Quan from the Big Sword Team!"
When Shen Quan heard the order, he immediately trotted over.
"Commander. Shen Quan, the captain of the broadsword team, is here to report. Please give me your instructions!"
Chu Yunfei said with his hands behind his back. "Shen Quan! The Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army is moving out in full force. Our regiment wants to join forces with the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to defeat this puppet army. I don't care what method you use, contact the New Second Regiment immediately. Convey the intention of the joint operation to Kong Jie!"
Shen Quan was stunned when he heard that the regiment commander was going to join forces with the old commander to wipe out the puppet army.
But soon he shouted with a little excitement: "Yes . I promise to complete the task!"
Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Come closer! I have something to remind you!"
Some things cannot be said in person, they must be said quietly. What is so confidential that even I, the chief of staff, cannot know it?
Fang Ligong felt a little jealous!
Shen Quan also approached Chu Yunfei with confusion.
Chu Yunfei said softly to Shen Quan: "Go and tell Captain Kong, this... this... do you understand?"
The more Shen Quan listened, the more surprised he became, and in the end he was basically just stunned.
Seeing Shen Quan still standing there in a daze, Chu Yunfei shouted, "Did you hear that clearly?"
Shen Quan reacted and stood at attention and said, "I heard it clearly, Commander!"
Chu Yunfei shouted, "Then hurry up and convey my words to Captain Kong. Remember, it must be done as soon as possible!"
"Yes! I will complete the task!" Shen Quan turned around and trotted to the stable, rode a horse and galloped away.
After Shen Quan left, Chu Yunfei turned around and saw Fang Ligong looking confused.
He smiled and said, "Brother Ligong, are you confused about what I just said?"
