Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

At the same time, the military aid she mentioned also arrived. I had always heard that Shadan’s team used foreign goods, so they directly transferred a battalion of American equipment.

These equipments are just right for arming the guard battalion and protecting the personal safety of Shadan.

Look at the gifts they gave. They not only failed to strengthen the Eighth Route Army, but instead improved the relationship with Shadan.

This is the real gift, sending it to the heart!

In the past, no fool would even look down upon such a gift. But now it is no longer possible. The landlord has no surplus food, so when he sees a good thing, he will of course use it for himself first.

This time when we attacked the Xinjiaji stronghold, we did not bring the defense battalion with us.

After all, leading a regiment to capture a stronghold was already giving face to the Japanese, so there was no need to bring them glory.

In fact, this time the purpose is to let the leaders of each regiment learn and see the real command ability and method of commanding operations of a regiment.

Everyone should learn it.

Liu Xiaozhuang does have the ability to lead and command a team, and he has truly built a regiment into an ace force. This actual combat is to test the specific strength of this ace team.

Each regiment was issued with Japanese equipment, which was basically distributed according to the Japanese regiments. As for how to use it, the regiment commander had to make his own arrangements.

After all, a Japanese regiment's equipment must be more than that of a regiment, and this is a problem they need to make a choice between.

Whether to leave the equipment in the warehouse to gather dust or to use it reasonably depends on their own command level.

Liu Xiaozhuang directly brought in the entire reinforced artillery battalion.

They are all large-caliber artillery, twelve Type 96 105mm howitzers and four Type 97 mortars, which are heavy artillery.

This thing was very shocking when it was unveiled.

But is it just a stronghold?

Mingyue curled her lips and dared not say a word.

Because she, as the team leader, came from an unjust background, her safety depended on connections.

So I have to keep my opinions to myself.

Liu Xiaozhuang did not use artillery to bombard the stronghold this time, but made preparations to attack the reinforcements that were sent to Wei to save Zhao.

He directly dispatched the first company of the first battalion to use grenade launchers to blow up the important firepower points of the Japanese. These were the firepower points that had been scouted in advance by another reconnaissance company of his regiment.

From this we can see that Liu Xiaozhuang's command ability puts intelligence as the top priority.

After knocking it down, just attack continuously from four directions in order of rows.

This immediately stunned the Japanese.

We are now on tactical defense, with high walls and deep trenches. How can we not panic if our firing points are suddenly destroyed?

The commander of the stronghold began to seek help from outside, and Liu Xiaozhuang's next step was to calmly send out a company of replacement attacks in turns.

He had even planned it out. He had brought all the new recruits in a regiment over to take turns firing the guns so that they could get familiar with the feel of the guns.

This kind of thing that requires practice naturally requires a lot of unnecessary waste of ammunition. He had discussed this with the brigade commander in advance. Otherwise, without the brigade commander's opinion, he would not dare to waste ammunition even if he had three guts.

Each regiment is provided with equipment and ammunition in advance, and any losses must be reported.

That's why Liu Xiaozhuang had the nerve to come to the brigade commander for help this time.

After fighting for an hour, the enemy reinforcements finally arrived.

What will greet them is a collective bombardment from the reinforced artillery battalion.

The cannon fire lasted for a quarter of an hour.

"Isn't this such a waste of ammunition?" some regiment commanders muttered nearby.

Recently, after the independent brigade developed the tradition of singing songs, various kinds of songs began to appear.

One of the songs is about saving bullets.

"We are all sharpshooters, and each bullet kills an enemy..."

In fact, this is a song describing the guerrillas. The underlying meaning is to encourage everyone to save bullets, in order to form an idea of ​​saving bullets in the minds of the team members.

No wonder some group leaders would make sarcastic remarks.

Shadan didn't say anything but asked everyone to continue watching. If they were to do the same as the United States, only consuming ammunition without achieving any real results, this method was actually not advisable. It would depend on Liu Xiaozhuang's specific operations.

After Liu Xiaozhuang finished the bombardment, he ordered the soldiers of each company to charge with bayonets in hand, and the entire regiment charged collectively.

It’s just that each unit is organized into companies, charging and practicing bayonet skills in an orderly manner.

A regiment has three battalions, and there are nine companies in three battalions, plus a guard company, which makes a total of ten companies.

When the third company was just practicing bayonet, the enemy had been completely wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaozhuang applied for the next battle. After all, this battle was not satisfying. No, he quickly changed it back. To be precise, he did not complete the mission.

Finally, clean up the battlefield and verify the number of casualties on both sides.

Shadan was very satisfied looking at the numbers above.

The enemy, including reinforcements, consisted of two squadrons, more than 400 devils, and more than 200 puppet troops. Except for a few prisoners, the entire army was wiped out.

On our side, there were only two casualties in a regiment of 1,500 people, and they were killed or wounded in a bayonet fight.

"It seems that the Japanese are really good at bayonet fighting. The task for your regiment is to practice bayonet fighting as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

Liu Xiaozhuang immediately saluted and replied: "Yes, I will complete the task!"

"Leaders of all the groups, please share your opinions and ideas. Speak freely. You can say anything."

Once they opened up, they started talking about everything. Even Mingyue started talking about ammunition.

"I don't care what other troops do. In our independent brigade, wasting some ammunition is completely acceptable. After all, I, your brigade commander, am so awesome that I can get ammunition."

This time the fool got it right again.

So in the following month, Shadan began to check the actual combat results of each regiment in turn.

The second regiment leader, Lin Ziang, was a man with tactical capabilities, but when he was capturing a stronghold, an unexpected situation occurred.

There was actually a secret passage in this stronghold. This was because we had not found out the intelligence and were ambushed by the enemy.

Although they took it down using Liu Xiaozhuang's method, the casualties were no match for others.

The Second Regiment suffered a platoon of casualties this time, although this achievement was considered a resounding victory for the Eighth Route Army.

But with so many pearls and jade in front of me, I feel ashamed.

Regimental Commander Lin Ziang lowered his head in shame in front of the brigade commander.

When we arrived at the third regiment, nothing happened and they played completely according to Liu Ziang's style.

But in the end, one and a half platoons were killed or wounded in the bayonet fight, which made Lin Jianshe so angry that he cursed loudly.

He established the stronghold after Liu Xiaozhuang, and during this period he also specially trained the bayonet fighting techniques of the entire regiment, but this is the result!

Do you think he can't be angry?

Shadan looked at the angry Lin Jianshe and patted his shoulder without comforting him.

In fact, this is all a matter of method and approach. People from the first group can do it, but where are the people from the third group lacking? They need to summarize it themselves.

After all, each regiment is handed over to them. They are the soldiers in their hands. Who can they blame if they don't pay attention to them?

When they reached the Fourth Regiment, the first wave failed to capture the fortress quickly and was completely pinned down on the battlefield by the enemy's fortress, with no reinforcements arriving later.

Because they have been surrounded and attacked by the Eighth Route Army recently, the Japanese have learned their lesson. Even if the Japanese in the stronghold scream at the top of their lungs, they will not send reinforcements.

More than a thousand Japanese soldiers have died. How many Japanese soldiers are there around Hebei? They really can't withstand such consumption!

Finally, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, Chen Ergou, quickly adjusted the direction of the artillery battalion and blasted open the gate of the stronghold, thus completely wiping out all the Japanese in the stronghold.

Then, after checking the casualties, they found that half a platoon had died and two platoons were injured, which meant that nearly an entire company had lost its combat effectiveness. When Chen Ergou saw this result, he was too embarrassed to say anything and simply lowered his head.

He has no eyes to look at people.

When we arrived at Mingyue, we found that the Japanese had been constantly being suppressed by the Eighth Route Army recently, so they simply withdrew all the surrounding strongholds, forming a very large stronghold.

According to reliable investigation, there was not only a large group of devils in this large stronghold, but also two regiments of puppet troops.

Even so, Mingyue had to lead all the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment to fight this battle and wipe out the enemy in this stronghold.

"Are you sure?"

Mingyue shook her head.

"As the commander of the Fifth Regiment, I am not sure about this. How can I fight this battle? Do I have to sacrifice my life? This is just nonsense. I don't want to do it!"

Recently, each regiment has achieved results and there has been competition among members. Now the most powerful ones are the soldiers of the first regiment.

Wherever he goes, he is always arrogant and basically looks down on others with his nose.

Do you think the other warriors would be happy?

The Fifth Regiment, in particular, was being overwhelmed by the four regiments above and had an extremely strong desire to fight.

In addition, the commander of the Fifth Regiment was a woman, so she was looked down upon by the soldiers of other regiments.

Mingyue also wanted to fight for her reputation. As one of the earliest people to follow Shadan to conquer the world, she also wanted to fight for Shadan.

"I not only represent myself, but also carry the expectations and entrustment of my former comrades-in-arms." Mingyue said firmly.

"What the hell? What does it mean to represent comrades?" The silly brigade commander looked at Mingyue suspiciously, confused.

"Brigade Commander, think about it. I am a subordinate trained by you, and also a female general! Isn't this the best proof - following an excellent general like you, we soldiers will only become stronger and stronger!" Mingyue became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Oh... so you are going to fight so hard? Is there anyone pointing fingers at you?" The silly brigade commander seemed to understand something.

When this matter was mentioned, Mingyue's grievances suddenly surged into her heart. Recently, she didn't know why Lin Yu always deliberately made things difficult for her.

"No matter what, I must lead the Fifth Regiment to achieve good results this time and prove to the entire independent brigade that the soldiers led by our silly brigade commander are all good!" Mingyue clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

"Uh... wait, you've been talking for such a long time, but why do I feel like you're all talking about me? What does this have to do with me?" Faced with Mingyue's passionate speech, Shadan was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

"It seems that Liu Xiaozhuang was also brought up by me. He can completely represent me."
