In fact, although the Miyamoto Brigade at this time claims to have a full brigade establishment, it is actually less than 7,000 people, and most of them are recruits who have just been added in a few years ago, the number of veterans is less than 30%, and the actual combat effectiveness of its brigade is less than 1,000 generally.
In addition, due to the vigorous efforts of the old commander, the 79th Army still got a batch of relatively advanced weapons and equipment troops, and Ding Ning and the others had just captured those American-made weapons that Ming Zheng wanted to send to the Miyamoto Brigade, and the firepower of the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army suddenly increased by leaps and bounds.
The forward troops of the Miyamoto Brigade exchanged fire with the brothers of the 29th Division on the road near the Three Fairies Temple, at first Miyamoto thought that they had encountered Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army team, and then when they fought, they found that it was not the New Fourth Army team, and the weapons of those soldiers on the opposite side were much better than those broken things of the New Fourth Army, most of them were continuous carbines, poor jingles, and even the New Fourth Army that was not fully equipped with Hanyang-made and 38 Dagai could have such good weapons Miyamoto expressed his disbelief, and then took a closer look, Finally saw the famous, the soldiers who resisted on the opposite side were dressed in the earthy yellow of the Kuomintang army to get rich, it seemed that the team of the 79th Army on the opposite side was blocking their way forward, Miyamoto Devil was furious, he always looked down on those Kuomintang troops, thinking that they were far worse than the New Fourth Army, there was no will to fight, there was no tactical cooperation, one hit and run, and then fight and run, to deal with the Kuomintang troops in these positions in front, Miyamoto did not think so, thinking that as long as it was less than half an hour, One of his wings can definitely fight all over the ground, and he doesn't need to go to the front line to supervise the battle himself, just sit in the back and wait for the good news of victory.
Miyamoto's self-confidence comes from the fact that the Japanese devils have fought against the Kuomintang army many times, most of them have been defeated by the Japanese devils and the Kuomintang army, especially in the early years of the Anti-Japanese War, this phenomenon is very common, in Shanghai, under the city of Nanjing, some even appeared thousands of soldiers were chased by a squad of sixty or seventy little devils all over the world, when a division finally surrounded a squadron of three or four hundred little devils, kicked and crackled for two days, and still failed to annihilate all the little devils in the encirclement, On the contrary, it often happened that these surviving devils escaped from the encirclement, so that when the general generals formulated battle plans and deployments, they estimated the allocation of troops by three to one, and some even estimated the troop allocation with six to one or ten to one.
Therefore, when the commander of the 29th Division of the 79th Army was deploying the defense just now, he adopted a relatively conservative defensive measure of resistance, not seeking to be able to do anything to the Miyamoto Brigade, but at least to be able to block the advance of the Miyamoto Brigade for the longest time, so as to buy time for the brothers of the New Fourth Army next to him to eliminate the collaborator and traitor.
Ding Ning and the others hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield and set up an ambush here again, and soon received a report from the brothers who were reconnoitring in front of them: "Five or six miles in front of them, they found a Kuomintang army that knew about two battalions, and only about a hundred soldiers took the lead, and the marching speed was extremely fast, and they opened a distance of at least four or five miles with the team behind. ” Ding Ning had already received the information brought by Xiao Wu at this time, and judged from the scouts' reports: "The hundred or so soldiers who took the lead must be Xiao Wu's guard company, Ming Zheng is an old fox, he is afraid of being ambushed by our New Fourth Army on the way, so he wants Xiao Wu to rush over first, in case of a battle, he can quickly retreat, and explain to the old army commander that the independent regiment was all annihilated by the New Fourth Army, and it is useless for him to save him.
Moreover, the responsibility for the annihilation of this independent regiment can be shifted to the 29th Division stationed near the Three Fairy Temples, and report to the theater that this 29th Division will not move and will not save when it sees death.
The ranks of the New Fourth Army are generally poor, and there are no material rewards, but the sense of honor of this combat merit is quite strong, and it is not necessarily possible to set up a third-class merit when you are usually injured and kill a few little devils, and second-class merit is rarely encountered, and this first-class merit is even rarer, this time I heard that the chief of staff Ming Zheng can make a first-class merit, and the brothers of the Jiangnan detachment under Ding Ning are all gearing up, and they have asked their team to serve as the main attack, Ding Ning thought about it carefully, and felt that it was safer for Comrade Guan Cheng to personally lead the team to complete this task, We must not let that Ming Zheng slip through the net, otherwise the Jiangbei New Fourth Army and the old commander's 79th Army will be very passive.
Guan Chengcheng Ma selected thirty or forty brothers from the brothers of his detachment who had all the ability to form a commando team, and said to these brothers: "Comrades, the task of our commando team this time is to capture or kill the chief of staff who came over Ming Zheng, there is only one goal, and the other officers are mainly captured alive, needless to say, it is best to win them to join our New Fourth Army, but we must not miss a single soldier, otherwise our operation will be a failure, comrades have no confidence?"
"Yes" Guan Cheng's commando brothers replied impassionedly, how can they not have the confidence to capture the leader of the enemy of the other party alive, for these brothers who have a lot of ability, it is not a piece of cake, not to mention that Wan has completed the task, and there is still a first-class merit to be made, can there be no confidence Guan Cheng and his brothers from the commando team rushed to the front of the ambush position first, and as soon as the battle started, their commando team had to immediately go out and plug in, intercept and surround the Ming Zheng, and don't let him take the opportunity to slip away, otherwise it will be difficult to do.
A team slowly drove towards the vicinity of the Three Fairy Temple, Ming Zheng sitting in the big truck was extremely cautious, every time he walked a distance, he had to order the team to pause, send out scouts to search carefully in all corners of the surrounding area, until the situation was ruled out, then continue to order the team to advance, he contacted Miyamoto on the way, asked Miyamoto to quickly move closer to his team, Miyamoto was storming the defensive position of the commander of the 29th Division Huang at the moment, and at the critical moment when he was inseparable, he received a message from Ming Zheng, Knowing that this guy has been exposed, it must be that he sent him to himself and was discovered by the surrounding team, otherwise the 29th Division here would launch a block attack on their Miyamoto Brigade, didn't the top say that you can contact the nearby Kuomintang army to ask for assistance, it seems that this time it was messed up and messed up.
Miyamoto was already a little arrogant, looking down on these Kuomintang troops around him, thinking that with or without their help, his Miyamoto Brigade would be able to rush to Dacheng Town and surround Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army, and now the most lacking thing is weapons, ammunition and supplies, as long as these things are in hand, not to mention an independent brigade of Zhou Wu, that is, the entire Jiangbei New Fourth Army will all let the horses come, and he Miyamoto is not afraid.
Miyamoto decided not to entangle with the 29th Division that blocked the advance, he quickly adjusted the operational deployment, sent people to the front carefully to reconnoitre, and found that there were several places in front of the defense emptiness, the officer of the 29th Division opposite seemed to be a guy who was not so good at fighting, the gap between the various defensive teams on the position was too large, and the gap in one place was actually two kilometers wide, enough for their Miyamoto Brigade to pass quickly, thinking of this, Miyamoto laughed proudly, thinking that the fighter had appeared, He immediately ordered his Devil Wing, which was attacking the position of the 29th Division, to stop the attack, dig trenches opposite the position and put on a posture of holding on for a long time, and at the same time ordered his two wings to quickly pass through the gaps in those positions, go around behind the positions of these 29th Divisions, first get the weapons, ammunition and supplies sent by Ming Zheng, and then quickly surround these 29th Division troops that were blocking and blocking the advance, and after eating a part of them, then fight with the New Fourth Army on the opposite side, defeat them, and catch up.
The independent brigade that surrounded Zhou Wu.
Miyamoto considered that at this time, it was necessary for Ming Zheng to contain the surrounding New Fourth Army troops and other teams stationed nearby in the Kuomintang theater, and Miyamoto felt that it was necessary to support Ming Zheng, otherwise not only would the urgently needed ammunition and materials not be available, but he might be attacked from both sides, which would be very disadvantageous.
Miyamoto ordered a wing under the attack to split a devil brigade, equipped with artillery and other heavy weapons, with trucks, armored vehicles and other equipment to open the way, quickly inserted through the gap in the defensive position of the 29th Division opposite, and reinforced the Ming Zheng who was in danger of being surrounded by the New Fourth Army.
The purpose of our brigade this time is not to fight an encounter with the New Fourth Army here, but to concentrate forces to surround the independent brigade, and to encircle and annihilate their Kuomintang troops is not the goal of our brigade and regiment, but the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei is our primary target.
Originally, Ming Zheng wanted to take advantage of the New Fourth Army Ding Ning and their Miyamoto Brigade to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the profit, but now it seems that he is about to become that poor fish. t1706231537:
