Chapter 368: Well Done

After Yu Hua issued the operational plan for the entire army.

He looked at everyone: "My Independent Brigade."

"Both regiments will move out in full, following your actions from the rear."

"Acting as the second-line force; at the same time, once you engage with the Japanese Army."

"Our positions must be stabilized."

"The soldiers of the Independent Brigade will immediately enter the positions; you must prepare to provide support."

"At the same time, pay attention to the performance of the Independent Brigade's new recruits on the battlefield."

To the northwest of the Reinforced Battalion, the sounds of the Japanese Type 11 Light Machine Gun and Arisaka Type 38 Rifle suddenly rang out.

The soldiers of the Independent Brigade had not yet had any contact with the Japanese Army.

He knew Yu Hua's intentions!

The operation tonight seems very large.

"Now, three armies are penetrating deep into the Japanese Army's camp."

"If anyone drops the ball on me, don't blame me for being impolite then."

Zhang Kang just smiled and said nothing.

Even Yang Biao, who had received training at a Germany military academy, could read maps and draw maps.

Instead, two regiments of the Japanese Army were mobilized from Jin Province, and then, Terauchi Hisaichi spoke on the phone with the Commander of the Chahar Corps, Major General Kasahara Yukio.

Therefore, the current Segaya Detachment is equivalent to a four-unit Division.

The six Checkpoints are now controlled by the Sichuan Army, and Gong Liang immediately had the men of the Machine Gun and Artillery Battalion rush deep into the Japanese Army's camp.

"As long as one of our routes succeeds, the remaining two groups will have worked in vain."

"At that time, I will still conduct an assessment!"

Rushing rapidly toward the Japanese Army's camp, the soldiers of the Machine Gun and Artillery Battalion were also each performing their own duties.

They also brought out their Mauser 98K Rifles!

Although he did not understand military theory, in terms of actual combat, he was worth ten Yang Biaos.

Zhang Kang followed Yang Biao!

The two were on a hilltop, and Yang Biao asked Zhang Kang to find it on the map.

Because the soldiers of the Reinforced Battalion had the best military quality in the entire Division.

After explaining clearly how to resolve things and how to withdraw the troops, without any omissions.

If new recruits want to quickly become Old Soldiers, junior officers must grow up at the first opportunity.

These were all theoretical knowledge that had not been converted into field application.

"Look at the gunfire!"

This army is about the same as the Independent Brigade!

"Our brigade has many new recruits; this battle is mainly to train the new recruits."

Yang Biao drew a map, took the soldiers, and set out to establish a defensive line.

"Our 22nd Group Army now has several Divisions in the vicinity of Teng County."

"I don't know... if that kid Gong Liang..."

The scouts and the soldiers of the Reinforced Battalion cooperated, utilizing the advantage of the Mauser Rifles to snipe the Japanese sentries in the dark.

The Reinforced Battalion of the 122nd Division, led by Battalion Commander Gong Liang, took a battalion of soldiers, followed by a portion of the soldiers from the Machine Gun and Artillery Battalion.

But!

The New First Army of the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office is now under the command of the 22nd Group Army.

"Brigade Commander!"

The Sichuan Army had accelerated military academies, but the quality of these schools varied.

Just as Gong Liang's voice fell, gunfire also rang out at the position where the Jin Jizhong Regiment 1st Battalion was attacking.

"That kid Gong Liang really didn't let me down!"

The Commander of the Pingjin Area Army, Terauchi Hisaichi, in order to show the importance he placed on the Sichuan Army.

"Our brigade is a unit under your personal command; what is our mission tonight, Brigade Commander?"

Yu Hua would later need to use the Independent Brigade as the backbone to continue expanding the army, which would require many junior officers.

At the same time!

Furthermore, with the nationwide war of resistance, the Sichuan Army possessed seven Group Armies.

"Isn't this a bit uneconomical!"

Just as they were preparing to fire a round of test shots at the Japanese Army's camp.

New recruits will never grow if they have not experienced the baptism of fire.

The Japanese Army's Sentry and Hidden Sentry had also been figured out, under the silent sniping of the Mauser 98K.

Several Staff Officers of the 122nd Division!

They had racked their brains and thought of several operational plans.

Chen Qian and Wang Mingzhang, after seeing Yu Hua change the plan tonight.

Just as Wang Mingzhang mentioned Gong Liang's name, suddenly, fire soared into the sky inside the Japanese Army's camp!

The 82mm Mortars began to roar, rapidly firing five shells into the Japanese Army's camp.

At the same time!

"It seems the Japanese Army is very guarded against our Sichuan Army!"

However, Zhang Kang had rich actual combat experience.

Even though the Old Soldier strictly demands things of the new recruits every time, they have not truly fought against the Japanese.

This army, Yu Hua placed it in Lincheng.

Just a moment ago, he had even made a solemn promise!

When first coming into contact with Zhang Kang, Yang Biao was dissatisfied with Zhang Kang.

These rising and falling sounds of gunfire also signified that the two assault units had failed in their attacks.

"If we are going to do it now, let's do it big!"

Only these few Staff Officers were still confused, not knowing Yu Hua's plan.

The Japanese sentries all had their blood splatter on the spot!

After finishing off the Japanese Army sentries, the Sichuan Army followed suit and continued to sneak toward the next Checkpoint.

Now they had also begun to sneak toward the camp of the Segaya Detachment.

The few Staff Officers of the Brigade headquarters, as well as some other officers, were also eager to try.

Upon hearing this!

Yu Hua, Chen Qian, Wang Mingzhang, and others were at the predetermined ambush location.

Arriving at the combat zone at the first opportunity fully demonstrated the prowess of the Reinforced Battalion.

"However, the main attack is to be carried out by the 122nd Division."

When the Segaya Detachment was being formed, not a single soldier from the 10th Division was drawn.

"Ready... Fire!!"

As an Old Soldier of the Sichuan Army, Zhang Kang had fought in ten years of civil war.

Therefore, they were bold enough to bring it up in front of a group of high-ranking officers.

The three teams sneaking up on the sentries were not too far apart from each other.

The Anti-Japanese War is a long process; it is not something that can defeat the Japanese Army overnight.

With the two of them combined, they could perfectly complement each other.

To have Kasahara Yukio mobilize two regiments of the Japanese Army to head south.

"You have now changed this operational plan."

Once the Japanese Army inside the camp is drawn out and the two armies exchange fire, the Sichuan Army Independent Brigade will enter their positions.

They were prepared to have a big fight with the Segaya Detachment tonight, but now Yu Hua had changed their operational plan.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a spin and you'll know.

More than fifty shells slammed into the Japanese camp, blowing the little devils into wailing and screaming.

"Tonight, all of you keep your eyes wide open for me and learn well."

Jin Jizhong patted his chest and said, "Deputy Division Commander, don't you worry."

When retreating from Niangziguan in Jin Province, the 122nd Division served as the covering force.

It has been changed beyond recognition!

It is completely different from the previous operational plan; it is simply worlds apart.

After these two Regimental Commanders finished speaking.

At the same moment!

Carry the Mortars and Grenade Launchers and go "set off fireworks" for the Japanese Army!

The Battalion Commander of the Machine Gun and Artillery Battalion, Hou Dalin, happily carried an 82mm Mortar.

"Adjust the coordinates, aim at the Japanese camp for me, and blast them to hell!"

"The assault teams are all our good brothers."

Inside Sichuan Province!

The Chuan-Kang Pacification Office Independent Brigade has been formed for a month or two.

Yu Hua, Wang Mingzhang, and Chen Qian were also using the Telescopes in their hands to observe the Japanese camp.

Within the 27th Group Army, only the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office New First Army had a relatively large number of new recruits.

Then they need to be tempered on the battlefield.

At the Checkpoints they snuck up on and cleared, the Sichuan Army soldiers put on the Japanese uniforms, acted as fake Japanese soldiers, and stood guard.

The Sichuan Army's Type 26 Submachine Guns, Czech Light Machine Guns, the sound of Mauser 98K Rifles, and the sound of Grenade Launchers all greeted the Japanese Army together.

"Boom—!!!"

Just as Jin Jizhong was laughing happily, suddenly, gunfire also rang out from the position where the 1st Battalion was sneaking up on the sentries.

Regarding this group of howling officers, Yu Hua grinned and said, "Our brigade will definitely have an operation tonight."

From inside the Telescope!

"When the time comes, you all go to the front line for me and make sure to look after the new recruits."

Regarding the questions from these few operational Staff Officers!

The bandits basically entrenched on the mountain peaks all turned to ashes under the artillery bombardment and machine gun strafing of the Independent Brigade.

"Brothers!"

"Well done!!"

The Japanese soldiers at this sentry post were a small detachment of over a dozen men.

Hearing the gunfire in the camp, the hearts of the three men jumped into their throats.

Yang Biao then said, "Sorry, I forgot, you don't know how to read a map."

This made Jin Jizhong's face fall instantly!

Those carrying shells carried shells, those carrying the cannons carried the cannons, and those carrying the base plates carried the base plates.

Now facing the formidable devils, and, the Segaya Detachment is even a reinforced division-level detachment.

Hou Dalin nodded!

The ambush site preset in the rear.

"The 1st Battalion will surely bring us good news!"

In the Independent Brigade of the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office, there are many new recruits.

Yu Hua's plan is to first let the elite troops of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army go ahead to launch a sneak attack on the Japanese Army.

Following closely!

"Listen to me carefully!"

Yu Hua's plan is to temper the soldiers on the battlefield.

While the soldiers of the Reinforced Battalion were feeling out the Japanese sentry posts, the scouts who had previously penetrated the surroundings of the Japanese camp.

"My battalion will definitely succeed in the night raid tonight."

After this incident!

Yang Biao admired Zhang Kang immensely.

Hou Dalin, the Battalion Commander of the Machine Gun and Artillery Battalion, estimated the distance.

"You might as well not do a test fire!"

"Adjutant Yu didn't intend to really go head-to-head with the Japanese Segaya Detachment tonight at all."

"Both teams failed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Kang was not angry; he personally took a few men and crept toward a location.

Most of the soldiers were all Old Soldiers who had been fighting the Japanese Army for several months.

"The Guard Battalion failed their night raid, so now we only have two teams left."

This time, the two Artillery Battalions each set up four artillery positions.

Although Zhang Kang lacked military theoretical knowledge, he had rich practical combat experience.

But having walked less than ten meters, Zhang Kang discovered that the Japanese Army was quietly climbing the mountain.

In this space-time, with Yu Hua's interference, although the Segaya Detachment is led by Segu Qi.

Yu Hua issued orders to the 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade, and the Artillery Battalion of the Independent Brigade followed the Artillery Battalion of the 122nd Division together.

"Don't let new recruits run around on the battlefield!"

Now the 1st Battalion has already opened fire; isn't this a slap in the face!

"Let's make a bigger commotion here to lighten the pressure on our brother units."

The troops of several divisions of the 22nd Group Army had indeed been tested by the flames of war in the Second War Zone of Jin Province!

Now the 22nd Group Army and the 27th Group Army.

Because Zhang Kang was very lacking in some military theories and military methods.

This time, the two of them often exchanged ideas.

Yu Hua had already spotted Gong Liang's Reinforced Battalion, which was now beginning to act.

The Guard Battalion and Reinforced Battalion of the 122nd Division and other assault troops, under the leadership of their respective officers.

"Old Hou!"

"Five rounds of rapid fire!"

They were all new recruits recruited within Sichuan Province, having just arrived at the front line.

"This battle is clearly for training the Independent Brigade."

Just like this!

Several Staff Officers responded: "Yes!!"

"My 1st Battalion Commander is an Old Soldier of our regiment, plus this kid Zhang Kang is there."

Training alone cannot produce mature and wise officers.

Yu Hua personally came to the Independent Brigade!

The two Regimental Commanders of the Independent Brigade!

1st Regimental Commander Lin Zhizhong and 2nd Regimental Commander Huang Botao also quickly gathered around Yu Hua.

The Jin Jizhong Regiment lost contact with the main force, and the entire army moved to fight in the mountainous area.

Heading toward the predetermined artillery positions!

Several battalions and four regiments of the 122nd Division also began to take action.

"Brigade Commander!"

Yu Hua and Wang Mingzhang finally issued the night raid order!

"Now that they are being attacked by the devils, how can we stand by and watch."

This battle was clearly Yu Hua training the new recruits of the Independent Brigade!

Several Staff Officers of the 122nd Division looked at Yu Hua and said: "Adjutant Yu!"

A platoon of soldiers was approaching the Japanese sentry post.

"Give the order!"

The group used the fastest time to move all 12 Mortars into positions where they could hit the Japanese camp.

Although Yu Hua led this army out of Chuan and fought several battles on the Chuan-Shaan Highway in the name of suppressing bandits to let the soldiers of the Independent Brigade gain experience.

Chen Qian grinned: "You greenhorns."

He planned to train the Independent Brigade, and then take turns bringing out the two divisions under this army to practice.

Subsequently, Yu Hua explained to the generals of the division headquarters how to handle some emergencies.

"You have already issued combat orders to Division Commander Wang's troops."

"It will be enough if we just fire a five-round rapid volley."

That is the real treasure!!

Yang Biao is rich in military thinking but lacks theoretical knowledge.

When deploying defenses in the mountainous area, Yang Biao and Zhang Kang were in charge.

"Furthermore, Adjutant Yu is also teaching you how to conduct combat."

If the Japanese Army wants to capture the hilltop, choosing where to attack from is the most convenient.

"Right now they are returning fire at the Japanese Army!"

"Rest assured, Brigade Commander, we will definitely get it done!" several officers said in unison.

Twenty minutes passed, and the soldiers of the Reinforced Battalion had already wiped out six Japanese Army checkpoints.

Zhang Kang immediately fired a shot to warn them!

Then he took a few guards and ran toward Yang Biao's position, grabbed Yang Biao, and started running.

"You finally came back!"

"Our brigade will definitely not be worse than the 122nd Division!"

Even if a crash-course military academy could train officers, it is a pity that the Sichuan Army has hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, these are all minor skirmishes.

The Jin Jizhong Regiment is the rear guard of the 122nd Division, and they were bitten by the Japanese Army halfway there.

"When the Guard Battalion was sneaking up on the sentry post, they were likely discovered by the Japanese Army."

Equipped with a silencer and a scope.

They were the first to arrive at the assault point designated by Yu Hua!

This time, the assault force of the 122nd Division will attack the Japanese Army from three directions.

Immediately!

This matter!

Also gave Yu Hua great inspiration, which is that actual combat is the only standard for testing truth.

Just like that!

Four Infantry Regiments formed the Segaya Detachment.

However, the soldiers of the Detachment are not from the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division.

Only by fighting, exchanging blows with the Japanese Army, can soldiers and officers be screened out from the war.

Because the Sichuan Army conducted reconnaissance!

The number of officers needed is massive!

If one wants the Independent Brigade to receive officer reinforcements, it would likely be too late.

Wang Mingzhang and Chen Qian both roared happily.

The huge firelight, like a fire dragon, whistled through the Japanese Army camp.
