Chapter 281: Eat the puppet army and strengthen yourself!

The battle on May 1st was not very fierce. Although the Japanese army had only more than 2,000 left, they were all veterans who had fought for the rest of their lives. The combat effectiveness and fighting will were very tenacious, especially after receiving the aircraft's referendum, their morale recovered very quickly!

The newly appointed acting brigade commander Miki Yokogi, just immersed in the joy of taking power, fell into a passive responsiveness of running out of ammunition and food.

The city defense in Qingyuan was basically not damaged much, otherwise they really didn’t know how to face the siege of tens of thousands of troops!

The reason why the city defense was not destroyed was because Li Chunrun was unwilling to destroy his home. After all, it was easy to destroy and difficult to build, not to mention that they would come back sooner or later.

Indirectly, it helped the Japanese a lot!

However, the overall city defense was not damaged, but the two city gates in the north and south were still left behind. However, the Japanese reacted quickly. After entering the city, they quickly blocked the two back doors.

Of course, the Japanese also paid a huge price!

The Gaobo Brigade itself had a morale cavalry brigade. After the brigade entered the city, heavy weapons such as horses and artillery were basically discarded. If the Japanese army had not added some airdrops, the Japanese army would have been out of ammunition and food if they could not hold on for a day!

Compared to the miserable devils, the Self-Defense Forces are very happy!

Nearly 3,000 war horses were seized, more than 500 were injured and killed, and the rest were taken into Qingyuan City by the Japanese army!

This is just a part of it, and the biggest gain is the thirty-six field cannons that the Japanese failed to move away.

With the mountain cannons seized before and two howitzers, the East Column can completely form a gun regiment.

If artillery is to be used together, Lei Dong will never let people divide these artillery. Wait for He Shili's artillery company to take over. Besides, there are not many artillery soldiers in the Self-Defense Army, so it is not enough to use these artillery.

In addition, the Japanese attacked violently for a day, and the shells were less than one-third of the base. Lei Dong was reluctant to use such a small number of shells easily.

The Self-Defense Army suffered a lot of casualties. Since the beginning of the Qingyuan Defense War, there were 3,763 casualties confirmed by statistics, which were almost as much as the Japanese.

One to one casualties, more wins less, if not properly planned, this number is far more than that.

The Self-Defense Forces have grown from about 12,000 to less than 9,000 now. Even if the Dongzong came to rush to help, they are less than 12,000, but their combat effectiveness has increased dramatically!

After seeing the blood, the Self-Defense Forces no longer have farmers and students who can shoot guns, and they look like real soldiers!

The war has made many people mature quickly. They have been afraid and disappointed, and then become resolute, cold-blooded and calm!

On the west mountain, the command center of the Gaobo Brigade was now the command center of the Qing Dynasty Self-Defense Forces. The Japanese army hurriedly withdrew supplies and radio stations, but did not have time to leave the built military tent!

So, Lei Dong "occupied the magpies' nest" here!

In the military tent, more than a dozen self-defense generals gathered together.

"Everyone, sit down!" Lei Dong walked in from outside, and Tie Meng and Zhang Jin were following him!

Zhang Jin made great contributions and has been promoted to the deputy captain of the three teams of the direct team.

"Report to Commander Lei, except for the four regiment leaders of Jin Yutian who monitored the four sects, everyone else was here!"

"I understand!" Lei Dong nodded and responded faintly.

"This military meeting was held tonight because the enemy situation has undergone new changes. Please ask Deputy Captain Tie to introduce the enemy situation in his heart!" Lei Dong said in a deep voice.

"According to our intelligence, the enemy has sent a team to rescue the remnants of Gaobo Brigade, with a brigade and a squadron, carrying a large number of supplies. He has set out from Fengtian and is expected to arrive in Qingyuan the morning after tomorrow."

"In addition, I have intercepted a piece of materials in advance. Deputy Commander Liang has sent someone to escort the materials back, which can make up for our previous consumption!"

"Also, the enemy has gathered a large number of troops in Liaoyuan, and the number of people is unknown. It is probably coming to our Dongzong. Now the Dongzong has withdrawn from the mountain city. This enemy is likely to go south to Qingyuan, but the current situation of this enemy is unknown. It can only be said that they are likely to go south..." Tie Meng introduced the military situation with a stern look.

"In addition to the Japanese army, there are also the puppet Jing'an army. The puppet Jing'an army attacked Yongling, the puppet Jing'an army Liao Bichen, and the Xu Xinghai army, who had turned around and came towards Qingyuan. The Tong Biliang regiment and the Huajiujiang Brigade who were guarding Yongling were pursuing along the way. Guo Jingshan, the seventh Route of the Self-Defense Army, are leading his troops to support us!"

"There are three enemies now. The closest ones are two regiments of the pseudo-Jing'an Army Liao Bichen and Xu Xinghai, with a population of about 3,000. The current location is Zhaojiabaozi in Jiahe Town. The Tong delegation wants to stay in Yongling to prevent the enemy from sneak attacking. More than 1,000 people from Huajiujiang Brigade are following him, less than five kilometers away. A brigade of the enemy from Fengtian is said to have been transferred from Liaoxi. It is expected to arrive in Fushun tomorrow. The third route is in Liaoyuan. The number of people is unknown at present, but their first stop will be Shancheng. As soon as they arrive, we will receive the news immediately!" Lei Dong added an explanation based on Tie Meng's battle situation.

Li Chunrun, who came to attend the meeting, said: "Three enemies, plus those in Qingyuan City, we will face a total of more than 10,000 enemies!"

"Ten thousand people?" The generals present all whispered.

"There is nothing to be scary for ten thousand people. They are not rushing over and giving us a chance to defeat each one!" Lei Dong said loudly.

"As the saying goes, we always pick the soft persimmons. Let's first pick the best ones to beat, kill Liao Bichen and Xu Xinghai tribes, then eat the Japanese from Fushun, then deal with the Japanese from Qingyuan County, and finally compete with the Japanese from Liaoyuan!" Bao Jinghua said.

"Deputy Commander Bao is worthy of being from the Whampoa Military Academy. Your idea coincides with me!" Lei Dong smiled and said, "Let's fight the two regiments of Liao Bichen and Xu Xinghai first. Although these two men have become traitors, not everyone under their command is willing to be traitors. If you kill them, you can also supplement ourselves and enhance our own strength!"

"Conductor Lei is right, but many people in these two regiments are unwilling to follow Liao and Xu and take the lead and sit down when Lao Bai is stabbed in the backbone. As long as we secretly contact these people and let them take the opportunity, we can tell that these two regiments will come over!" Zhou Baosheng said.

"Okay, this matter is feasible. We must solve these two regiments as soon as possible. We must concentrate our efforts on dealing with the Japanese who came out of Fushun!" Lei Dong said.

"According to my understanding of Liao and Xu, they will definitely not go north alone, and will definitely wait for the Japanese army in Fushun in Nanzamu!" Sun Mingchen stood up, walked to the map and said with a little hand along the railway line.

"So, we have to go to Nanzamu?"

"Yes, our soldiers just finished a battle and were very tired!" Li Chunrun said worriedly, "I'm afraid that one can't bear it!"

"It doesn't matter. If there is an internal supporter, only one regiment of troops is needed, let alone the brigade of Huajiujiang is behind!" Bao Jinghua said, "We have captured so many war horses, it would be a pity if we don't use them!"

"Yes, why did you forget this!"

"Brave Commander Zhou, you will take a regiment to ride over there. In addition, I will ask Tie Meng to lead a brigade with you. I hope you will cooperate with Hua Jiujiang to take down the Liao and Xu regiments, and then reorganize them on the spot!" Lei Dong said.

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely complete the task!" Zhou Baosheng stood up excitedly and saluted Lei Dong.

"You go down and prepare first. Let's set off early tomorrow morning and select the minimum warriors. I authorize you to select from each regiment, with a number of 1,500!" Lei Dong ordered loudly.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Sun Mingchen and others showed a fiery look in their eyes. That was envy. After this battle, it was obvious that these people could not be replaced.

Commander Lei not only has superb command ability, but also has extraordinary ability to control his subordinates. Through such continuous battlefield reorganization, he completely dispersed several armies. When the war is over, these people will find that most of the soldiers under his command are not the same!

Even if I don’t want to accept the reorganization of Dongzong, I’m afraid I can’t stop it at that time.

Although there is no intention to seize power, it is also the reality of seizing power!

This is a conspiracy, and it is upright. Even if you see through it, it is hard to say anything. Besides, Lei Dong does this, everything is for the sake of the situation of war.

Zhou Baosheng was excitedly taking the order to pick people. There were many people who could ride horses in the Self-Defense Army. It was not difficult to select 1,500 elite soldiers and generals!

It is inevitable to choose people here, but there must be streamlined and reorganized!

"Brave Commander Sun, how many people are left in your Sixth Brigade?"

"It's about two thousand people!" Sun Mingchen said.

"I will fill you up three thousand people, reduce your three groups into two groups, and add one or three hundred guns. Can you do it?" Lei Dong asked in a deep voice.

"able!"

"Okay, Bao Jinghua, you originally had three regiments, with less than 3,000 people, but now there are less than 2,000 left. I plan to reduce the two regiments, each regiment will temporarily be organized into two thousand people. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" Bao Jinghua nodded. It was normal for the reduction of troops.

"Deputy General Liang has about 2,000 people under his command, and I plan to reduce it into two groups!" Lei Dong said, "If other teams are willing to be reorganized, they can temporarily retain the organization!"

The self-defense army has a variety of ways. As long as they have the ability to recruit a group of people, they can become regiment commanders. Therefore, their combat effectiveness and cohesion are not high. Although they have a group of middle and lower-level officers and leaders of the Far Northeast Army, their final failure is inevitable, and a large part of the reason is blind expansion and poor organization!

Now through the integration of Lei Dong, the basic system of the Sixth, Ninth and Eleventh Self-Defense Forces is still there, but the personnel have completely changed, and it will become much easier to reorganize them in the future.

The remaining few teams either choose to join one of them or only fight each other. However, Lei Dong will never allow them to fight each other, at least they will have to wait until the end of this battle!

So they were all incorporated into the stretcher team and acted with the health team and the direct team!

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li, I will leave you two regiments, together with the two regiments under Brigade Commander Sun, a total of four regiments, and you will be given a team of twenty people. Your mission is to trap the Japanese army in Qingyuan City and arrange uninterrupted attacks every day, but don't be too fierce, just to make them uneasy. Also pay attention to air raids and pay attention to digging more air raids. When the Japanese planes arrive, they hide in the air raid shelter. You can find hidden highlands and fight back appropriately, but you can't always stay in the same place!" Lei Dong's arrangement reminded Li Chunrun.

"Okay, don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I won't let a Japanese man go!"

"Bao Jinghua, you and Lao Liang each led a group to follow me south. Let's go and have a good time for the Japanese!" Lei Dong said.

"What about Dongzong?" Li Chunrun asked, "The Dongzong has arrived in Nanshan City and will reach Ying'er Gate tomorrow morning!"

"The East Column is mainly to guard against the Japanese army coming from Liaoyuan. It is also used as a mobile force. The specific operations are determined by the East Column itself!" Lei Dong explained.

"That's right, the commander-in-chief means that we only need to deal with the enemies in the south and hand over the enemies in the north to the East Column?" Bao Jinghua asked.

"Yes, this is also the meaning of No. 1. Liaoyuan's enemies are heading towards the Dongzong, so the Dongzong will naturally be responsible for solving them!" Lei Dong said.

"Understood!"

"Do you still have any questions? If not, let's go back and prepare!" Lei Dong waved his hand, "The reorganization plan will be sent to you, I hope you will follow it!"

At noon on May 2, as Sun Mingchen expected, two pseudo-Jing'an corps led by Liao and Xu stopped in Nanzamu and waited for the Japanese army coming from Fushun. At this time, a brigade of the Mixed 38th Brigade of Xinmin, led by a major named Hideo Takeuchi, had just arrived in Fengtian by train, and then received a large amount of supplies. A squadron was drawn from the 39th Brigade stationed in Shenyang to form a mixed corps with a number of about 1,600 people, and came to Fushun in a tank truck.

However, because the train tracks from Fushun to Qingyuan were blown up and scattered, the Japanese had to get off the train in Fushun, then gathered with the Fushun garrison squadron, formed a detachment of about 2,000 people, and went to Qingyuan to rescue the trapped Gaobo Brigade.

This Japanese detachment needs to reach Nanzamu at least on the evening of May 2. If something happens on the road, it may be delayed!

Since being trapped in Qingyuan on May 1, the telegram received by the remnants of Gaobo Brigade was asked to stick to it for three to five days!

If the Self-Defense Forces do not make any blocking, it will take at least two and a half days to arrive at the city of Kiyohara, because many bridges along the way have been blown up and the railway is simply inaccessible.

Saburo Yokogi basically sent a telegram to ask for help every hour. For this army, the Kanto Army Command also dispatched aircraft to assist in the war and airdrop supplies as much as possible!

But the Air Force is not omnipotent, not to mention that the air defense fire points are also arranged by the siege troops, and the fire points will be different every time, which makes Japanese pilots dare not fly low, for fear of being swept by machine guns that suddenly emerge from there!

Aircraft airdrops are not enough if they are too high. Under the influence of wind, they may put materials on the enemy's positions.

This is not surprising. Li Chunrun had several gifts placed in the North Gate position.

There were several bloody competitions in the South Gate, just for the little supplies dropped by the Japanese army.

About half of the materials dropped by the Japanese army were obtained by the Japanese army in the city, 30% were obtained by the Self-Defense Army, and the remaining 20% ​​were damaged or fell into the forest of Mori Mountain and could not be obtained for the time being.

The Self-Defense Forces also created a brilliant record of machine guns destroying aircraft, one was damaged and three injured.

Facts have proved that aircraft are not invincible. As long as the tactics are appropriate, the Japanese aircraft can end with hatred.
