Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The Pioneer Battalion of the A1001 Division of the Yan Army fled lightly. The radio station was lost long ago. They fled until they were two kilometers outside Ji County, and then stopped to check the casualties and ammunition.

Including those who died in battle, those who escaped, and those who were captured, the battalion was left with 150 men, losing more than half.

"Arrange for camping. Two more brothers will go and report the battle situation on our side to the division headquarters. It is said that there is at least one regiment stationed in Ji County. Our battalion failed to enter the city. Later, the Eighth Route reinforcements arrived and our battalion fought to the death. When we came out, we lost more than half of our personnel and all our heavy weapons.”

Regarding the strength of the city's troops, this battalion commander was not deliberately exaggerating. He felt that to have this kind of firepower, at least one regiment, or even more than one regiment, was needed!

As for the so-called reinforcements, he made them up in order to keep his position as battalion commander.

In fact, the Fifth Regiment heard that Yan Jun had arrived as a division and only used two combined battalions and one artillery battalion, plus some support troops. About half the regiment's strength was used.

To deal with one division, two combined battalions are almost enough.

The combined battalions of the independent brigades are now larger than those of later generations.

In later generations, a combined battalion consisted of three infantry companies, two tank companies, one artillery company, one combat support company, and one logistics support company. The total number of people is about seven hundred.

There are no tanks now, so the two tank companies have also been converted into infantry companies, but they are all infantry companies equipped with enough infantry fighting vehicles. Each company also has six 120mm self-propelled howitzers. The total number of people in a combined camp is about 1,000.

Yan Jun's A1001 Division is considered a relatively large division. In addition to the personnel left behind, people were dispatched. It consists of three regiments, with a total strength of men.

The division commander did not find it difficult for a relatively large division to attack a small county. One of his divisions was positioned outside the county town. Type 92 infantry artillery and mortars were lined up, and dozens of heavy machine guns were aimed at the city. For the Eighth Route Army, which only had rifles and insufficient bullets, at most one regiment, wouldn't they be so frightened that they would run away quickly?

He had also heard that the Eighth Route Army suddenly had a lot of artillery, but he thought that those stationed in the county should be local troops, which would not have artillery. It was hard to say whether they could get one rifle per person.

Therefore, the entire division was led by a deputy division commander, but the division commander himself was too lazy to leave his home and stayed at the original station to drink tea and chat.

I didn't bring much baggage. I originally wanted to collect food on the spot after taking over Ji County.

When the main force of the A1001 Division reached Sanfu Village, two scouts from the Pioneer Battalion ran to send back the news.

The deputy division commander immediately stopped the troops, and one regiment rushed to Niutou Village. The remaining two regiments rested and set up defenses in Sanhou Village and searched for food on the spot.

Send out scouts and communications troops, carrying communications equipment, to respond to the half of the vanguard battalion.

Our army has received the news a long time ago and has evacuated the people along the way. There is only an empty village left here without a grain of food.

Deputy Commander Yan Jun also discovered this and immediately sent people back to his hometown to urge for supplies.

A group from Niutou Village had just arranged to camp. The sun had already set and before it was completely dark, they saw a group of ragged beggars coming in front of them.

"Stop! This is a powerful military camp. Go begging for food elsewhere!"

"Military camp? It's great! I'm finally home. Mom, Ji County can't fight!"

Only then did the sentinels of the regiment realize that although the clothes of this group of people were torn, they could tell that they were the military uniforms of their own side. "What section are you in? Who is your commander?"

"We are the second battalion of the first regiment. We are the vanguard battalion. I am the battalion commander Zhao Fugui."

The soldiers of the first regiment took out their flashlights and shined a light on these defeated soldiers one by one, carefully distinguishing whether they were among their own people.

"Stop taking pictures, we don't even have a gun or a bullet, we are all lost!" someone gasped.

"What's wrong with you?"

"After we arrived in Ji County, the garrison of Ji County refused to evacuate. We just said we would not evacuate if we don't evacuate, and let us enter the city first. Who knew that the other party suddenly shelled us. We immediately fought back. After fighting for most of the day, both sides There were casualties on each other.”

He stopped and asked for a drink of water before continuing:

"Later, about two regiments of reinforcements from the other side arrived and made dumplings for us. At this time, the city gate also opened, and at least two battalions rushed out from inside. Our ammunition was also exhausted, and we were outnumbered. , had to retreat.

But the enemy would not let us go. The two regiments who came for reinforcements brought a large number of heavy artillery. We fought desperately to break out. At that time, half of us came out. But the enemy's artillery didn't let us go and continued to chase us. Now there are only more than 20 of us left in the whole battalion!

The enemy's artillery is so powerful that the shells explode in the air, and it's useless to hide anywhere! Moreover, there is at least one regiment in Ji County, and two regiments have come for reinforcements. It is not known whether other enemy troops have come for reinforcements.

This battle is impossible to fight! "

"Okay, stop talking. Someone, take them back to the regiment headquarters and report to the regiment leader face to face."

The head of the regiment did not make things difficult for them. This Zhao Fugui still had some background. Otherwise, why would the fat job of taking over Ji County fall on him?

The regimental commander reported the information obtained to the division headquarters, which in turn reported it to the next level.

After Emperor Yan Tu learned about it, he was shocked: He didn't expect that a small Ji County would be so difficult to deal with!

"Send me another division for reinforcements, plus an artillery regiment. We must capture Ji County. We cannot lose in terms of momentum!"

The A1002 Division and Artillery Regiment A spent ten hours in this way to assemble their troops, and hurried to Sanhou Village in the early morning of the next day.

In fact, goddamn reinforcements, the enemy vanguard battalion did not encounter any reinforcements from our army at all.

Just attack them with a half-battle camp and still need reinforcements? Our army focuses its main energy on encircling and annihilating the A1001 Division.

The actual situation at that time was: the enemy's vanguard camp fled to camp two kilometers away from Ji County, and started cooking in the evening. They underestimated the power of our army's artillery fire and thought that a distance of two kilometers was safe enough. The campground is crowded with people.

At this time, our army's work of cleaning the battlefield has been completed. While cooking, we used drones to conduct reconnaissance and calculate various data. After finishing the meal, the enemy vanguard battalion came and was covered by a wave of artillery fire. The soldiers ate braised pork and enjoyed the fireworks display.

The remnants of the enemy's vanguard battalion performed a beautiful dance amidst the fireworks to entertain the soldiers of the second company during their dinner.

It's only two kilometers, and both mortars and self-propelled mortars can hit it.

In this way, the enemy's vanguard camp abandoned the wounded soldiers and all supplies without even having a bite of hot food, and only about 20 people fled back to Niutou Village.

The A1001 Division reported to Queen Yan Tu that they would no longer march and camped on the spot. The enemy has three regiments, and we also have three regiments. The deputy division commander didn't even think about whether his division would be eaten by the opponent.

It was only after dawn the next day that I discovered to my surprise: It was fine when I came here, but I can't go back! His own troops have been tightly surrounded by countless infantry fighting vehicles within less than two square kilometers of Sanhou Village.

"Quick, stop cooking, set up defenses, dig trenches, and ask for help from the headquarters!" The deputy division commander issued a series of instructions in panic.

Our army was in no hurry to launch an attack.

This time to encircle and annihilate the A1001 Division, what we want is to defeat them until they lose their temper. Don't you want to set up defenses? Arrange it, I won't attack you at this time.

I want you to see: you outnumber us and have time to dig trenches and bunkers. There was another division arriving outside for reinforcements.

Even so, you will still be wiped out!
