Chapter 536: Rendezvous


On the evening of the 20th, the command post of the new 22nd Division.

The bursts of gunfire in the direction of Kunlun Pass did not distract the people in the command post of the new 22nd Division from the shock of the news brought by the telegram.

Deng Junlin's telegram shocked the division headquarters of the new 22 nd Division and annihilated a brigade, and it is needless to say what this result represents; there are a large number of people in the command post of an infantry division, including large and small staff officers, various attachments to the division headquarters, directors, section chiefs, division chiefs, and units directly under the division, and there are no less than 30 officers with military ranks.

These officers were very well informed, and the news that the teaching brigade and the 65th regiment had eaten a brigade of devils quickly spread throughout the division headquarters.

Even the soldiers of the units directly under the division knew about it, and many staff officers of all sizes in the division headquarters took advantage of the fact that Qiu Luozi and Chief of Staff Chai Zhao in the command post were not paying attention, whispering to each other and exchanging their views on this matter.

In the division command post, some of the junior staff officers who have not been in office for a long time are fledgling and have high spirits, and they are excited to talk about this matter with the old staff officers, or the chief of staff, or the division chief, and these new staff officers are all military cadets who graduated from the Central Military Academy, and although they are now serving as staff officers, if there is a real shortage in the front-line troops, they will also be transferred to the combat units below to serve as platoon commanders and deputy company commanders, that is to say, they all have the opportunity to lead troops and go to the battlefield.

Young people are always hot-blooded, and it is when they are strong in blood, and these small staff officers have never really fought against the Japanese army, and they don't know the hardships and dangers of fighting against the Japanese army.

Hearing the news that the annihilation of a Japanese brigade was so morale-boosting, the young staff officers didn't care whether the news was true or not, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were eager to rush out and fight the Japanese army in person.

The veteran staff officers and the veteran officers who had fought in the war, and the attached officers came up at this time to pour cold water on the enthusiastic little staff officers, and educated these junior staff officers in the tone of the old guns, they thought that the so-called encirclement and annihilation achievements were full of water In short, excitement, suspicion, curiosity and shock, and cold eyes permeated the command post of the new 22nd Division, and almost all the officers in the command post were thinking about teaching the brigade and the 65th Regiment to encircle and annihilate a Japanese brigade.

The three commanders of the new 22nd Division also fell into doubt.

"Division, I have telegraphed the 64th and 66th regiments to pay attention to the movement in front of the formation, and sent two platoons of the special service company to search."

Deputy Division Commander Liao returned to the division command post ten minutes later and reported to Madman Qiu.

Madman Qiu nodded, even Madman Qiu, who had always been calm, had a slightly worried look on his face.

"Okay, pick them up as soon as possible."

Madman Qiu said lightly.

Chai Zhao, the chief of staff of the division, no longer struggled with the map in his hand: "Division, this is a regiment after a teaching brigade, and suddenly defeated an infantry brigade of devils, and it is almost impossible to eat an infantry brigade in terms of combat strength alone." ” Chai Zhao expressed his own opinion, like Deputy Division Commander Liao and Division Commander Qiu Luozi, the new 22nd Division has studied abroad and is well aware of the gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies, in Chai Zhao's view, a regiment is attached to a teaching brigade, and an infantry brigade is eaten, and now Chai Zhao is killed and does not believe it, a complete infantry brigade has more than 1,100 people, and is equipped with light and heavy firearms.

Not to mention that Chai Zhao, the chief of staff of the division, knows very well the level of soldiers of the 65th Regiment, and the vast majority of them are new recruits.

In terms of weaponry, Chai Zhao knew that the heaviest equipment of the 65th Regiment and the Teaching Brigade was the two 75 mountain guns attached to the mountain artillery platoon, and the 75 mountain guns were a good thing, but Chai Zhao did not think that with the two mountain guns, the fullness of the Japanese rifle machine guns and the lethality of the 92 infantry guns could be neutralized.

Quality and weapons, combined with previous combat experience, this is the basis of Chai Zhao's thinking, thinking from the rational perspective of the chief of staff, Chai Zhao does not think that this result is real, but if it is to say that it is bragging, Chai Zhao is even more confused, Deng Junlin, the commander of the 65th Regiment, is honest and bold, could it be that Deng Junlin changed his temperament, boasting about Haikou and fabricating the results of the battle is indeed incredible.

As a result, Chai Zhao, chief of staff of the division, was also dizzy.

Deputy Division Commander Liao looked at Qiu Luozi and Chai Zhao, and picked up the steel helmet: "Counselor, division, I will go and urge the regiments on the front to strengthen their vigilance." ” After greeting Qiu Maniac and Chai Zhao, Deputy Division Commander Liao took the guards out of the command post and went to the positions of the front-line regiments to supervise and inspect, also to meet the 65th Regiment and the teaching brigade that were about to return to the position.

Previously, division commander Qiu Luozi asked Deputy Division Commander Liao to send two platoons of the New 22nd Division's special service company to the road to meet the 65th Regiment and the Teaching Brigade, and Qiu Luozi, who was very vigilant, ordered the main force of the New 22nd Division in Jiutang to prepare for battle in advance and put the front on guard.

According to the battle order of the Fifth Army, the main force of the new 22nd Division should build positions in the vicinity of Jiutang and Wutang and Liutang, and the main force of the new 22nd Division should build positions in this vicinity, delay, and block the reinforcements of the Japanese army.

The 64th Regiment and the 66th Regiment of the New 22nd Division, the Field Supplementary Regiment, as well as the mountain artillery reinforced by the troops directly under the division and the Fifth Army, were stationed in nearby positions to block the Japanese troops advancing towards Kunlun Pass.

When Zhang Wei's teaching brigade and the 65th Regiment joined the main force of the New 22nd Division, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and the teaching brigade encountered two platoons of the special service company of the New 22nd Division on the road, and then, under the guidance of these two platoons, the teaching brigade and the 65th Regiment drove to the headquarters of the New 22nd Division near Jiutang.

Along the way, on both sides of the highway in Wutang, Liutang, and on both sides of the road, Zhang Wei saw a large number of troops, all of whom were soldiers of the New 22nd Division, and there were also a large number of fortifications.

It seems that the battle he has finished is an appetizer for the new 22nd Division, and the main force of the division has not yet moved, Zhang Wei can imagine that in the next few days, the real main force will attack, and the offensive and defensive battle of the large army will be launched nearby, which is different from the encirclement and annihilation battles he has fought.

The teaching brigade and the 65th Regiment finally drove to the command post of the new 22nd Division in Jiutang, and the division headquarters really came and asked Zhang Wei and Deng Junlin to go to the command post to meet the division commander.

After receiving the notice, Zhang Wei arranged for the brigade to be stationed near the command post, and Zhang Wei and Deng Junlin hurriedly rushed to the hidden division command post Read the URL:
