Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Looking at the soldiers of the independent regiment rebuilding the defensive position of the arsenal, Chen Yan was puzzled.

He is reviewing the overall situation.

Something is not right. The Japanese army in Nanyang actually sent a support force of 1500 people, which is nearly twice the number of troops planned before the war. What is going on?

If there were really only 1800 defenders in Nanyang County, then sending out 1500 people would mean that only 300 defenders would be left in the city. With the strength of the 358th Regiment, they should have taken it long ago.

But up to now, even the headquarters has not received any news, so there is only one possibility.

Suddenly, Chen Yan's eyes flashed with ferocity.

That’s right, it must be like this, Yan Laoxi, you are a big liar!

There must be something wrong with Yan Laoxi's information. There must be more than 1800 people in Nanyang.

Yan Laoxi, you are a moron! For intelligence work like this, a dog would be better than you.

Just as Chen Yan analyzed, two days before the joint operation, the Japanese army suddenly dispatched an additional battalion of troops to garrison, which accidentally disrupted the command and deployment of the joint operation, and the intelligence organization of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not even notice it.

At this time, there were still nearly 1500 defenders in Nanyang City, and Chu Yunfei was now in a state of panic. At this stage, Chu Yunfei's troops had about 2800 people, and the battle had lasted for 7 hours. The Japanese army was firmly in the city, and the battle had not made any progress.

Moreover, the 358th Regiment had already been informed of the news of the Japanese troops dispatching troops into Taiyuan City. If they could not capture Nanyang City, the battle would be a failure.

Chu Yunfei looked at the city gate tower of Nanyang County fiercely.

"Let the first battalion charge again. If they can't take it before dark, let Wu Ziqiang take off his uniform and get out."

After Wu Ziqiang received the order, he was indignant, "MD, this Chu Yunfei only knows how to send my people to die, does he think I'm stupid?

He wanted to remove me, how powerful he thought he was."

Wu Ziqiang poured a glass of red wine and shook the glass gently.

"Tell the brothers to pretend and perform another show for Captain Chu before dark to make him happy."

Chen Yan and a group of officers and soldiers of the independent regiment were eating lunch in the Japanese office of the arsenal, cursing Yan Laoxi as a bastard.

Suddenly, Chen Yan's lunch box flew out of his hand, and he seemed to have thought of something.

"Oh no, the information from Nanyang is wrong. What about Yuci and the three original stones?"

When Li San heard this, he quickly took out a military map from the Japanese's desk and placed it in front of everyone.

Chen Yan stared at every line on the map.

"Yuci has always been an important military town. It connects to the Tongpu Railway and is also an important transportation hub for the Japanese. The Japanese troops here were frightened by our army's Hundred Regiments Campaign and they must hold on to this place.

Even if the intelligence from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was wrong, the Japanese Army would not have sent a large number of troops to support it, so it is estimated that Lao Zhao would not have a big problem."

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Yan's next words made everyone's heart rise to their throat again.

“But it’s hard to say about the Japanese troops in the direction of Miharashi.

There was originally a Japanese infantry regiment stationed here. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army reported that this infantry regiment was changing guard with two Japanese squadrons and a puppet brigade, and was preparing to move to Changde.

Damn it, I can’t listen to anything Yan Laoxi says now!

If there is any mistake, Lao Li will be finished."

Chen Yan is now completely speechless about Yan Laoxi, this friendly army. He is just a rat with a gun in its own nest. He was so meticulous in the intelligence work for our army back then.

Chen Yan shouted: "Desheng, how long will it take for the cavalry you sent out to come back?"

Sun Desheng calculated the time and said, "In about half an hour, the three cavalry groups will arrive one after another."

“Shit, if something goes wrong, the entire battalion might be taken over by others.

No need to wait, Li San, you take the special operations battalion and the cavalry company to rush to the Sanyuanshi direction right now, and the third battalion and I will defend the arsenal.

Although Lao Li has a large number of people under his command, most of them are from county brigades and their combat effectiveness is limited.

Now time is life, I, Chen Yan, will not abandon any of my brothers, you guys must make time for it."

Li San, Sun Desheng, the monk, and Zhuzi immediately stood up from the sofa and said in unison: "Yes."

Chen Yan doesn’t dare to leave the armory now, because he has a vague feeling that there is a big trouble waiting for him, and that is the battle in Nanling!

The superior leaders have instructed that we must fully consider the political ecology of the two parties and give priority to the overall situation of the country.

What does that mean? That means Chen Yan can't just leave the arsenal and walk away, leaving all the trouble to the 358th Regiment.

This Yan Laoxi! I really admire you.

You've been giving blind orders and I'm now in a state of chaos with mud dripping down my crotch - it's a big deal, but it is also a big deal.

Now Chen Yan only has one battalion by his side. Fortunately, the three battalions suffered no losses in the previous battle.

At the same time, on the frontline position of the Independent Regiment in the direction of Sanyuanshi, there was continuous artillery fire and the scene was devastated!

Li Yunlong spat out the dirt in his mouth that was blown into his mouth by the artillery shells.

"Oh my god, who got this damn information? Where are the 500 Japanese troops we promised them? Now there are more than 1000 of them."

The captain of the county brigade bent over and came to Li Yunlong under the cover of the bunker.

"Deputy Captain Li, we're really losing ground. We've been fighting for more than three hours. The Japanese firepower is too strong. The 3 people on my side are all militiamen. Compared with the Japanese, the guns in our hands are no different from fire sticks."

Li Yunlong glared and grabbed the captain of the county brigade by the collar.

"What's the matter? From what you said, I can tell you're planning to run away!"

"Deputy Captain Li, don't get excited. This battle is over. Look, all the dead are my people."

"Bullshit! You wimp.

Today, unless I die, no one can leave.

You guys walked away with ease, but my brothers are still fighting hard at Guanjia Nao."

Li Yunlong's eyes were red and veins on his forehead were bulging, "MD, whoever runs away today, I will kill him."

The captain of the county brigade made up his mind, "Deputy Captain Li, we militiamen are not afraid of death, we just don't want to sacrifice in vain.

You are the supreme commander here, and since you said so, our county brigade will fight to the death with you."

After saying this, the captain turned around and returned to his position.

Li Yunlong knew very well his situation, but once he ran away, Chen Yan had no way to retreat.

He and Chen Yan have been together for such a long time that they have already formed a tacit understanding and trust like brothers, so some things don't even need to be said.

He judged that Yan Laoxi's intelligence must be wrong, and he also believed that Chen Yan's analytical ability would allow him to see the situation clearly. Now he was holding on and waiting for help.

This is the comradeship and silent understanding among soldiers.

Fortunately, the independent regiment's position was located in a high position, and the Japanese invaders' eight charges were all beaten back.

Li Yunlong picked up a piece of dry grass, curled up in the trench, and shouted:

"The Japs have eaten, Da Biao told his brothers to take a rest quickly, and only fight the Japs after they have eaten and drunk enough."
