Therefore, when the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade was annihilated, Yan Laoxi tried his best to control it and did not publicize it in any big way.

Even if someone asked, Yan Laoxi said that the troops had made a lot of gains, but he did not directly admit the annihilation of the independent mixed fourth brigade.

This resulted in the report of Little Devil being recognized by many people.

After all, one regiment of the Jinsui Army and three regiments of the Eighth Route Army joined forces to annihilate an independent mixed brigade of the Yue Army. It is indeed difficult to believe.

"Brigadier, now our brigade has strong soldiers and horses. Although it is not a brigade, its strength in all aspects is not weaker than that of a division."

"Not to mention our Shanxi-Sui Army division, even if it is an elite division of the Central Army, it may not have weapons and equipment like our brigade."

"The little devil's 8,000-man army wants to eat us. It's beyond Hong Yue's dream. They just ask us to rely on that position to hold on, and they won't get the slightest gain."

"That's true. Commander Chen's east artillery battalion has eleven mountain cannons. There are four field cannons directly under the brigade headquarters. The 358th Regiment also has six mountain cannons."

"Not counting the mortars of each battalion, we have twenty-one mountain artillery and field artillery pieces alone, which is equivalent to the size of an artillery regiment."

"What's more, the four battalions of the 358th Regiment have twelve 82MM mortars, and the 11th Reserve Regiment also has six 81MM mortars!"

As Chu Yunfei finished speaking, the officers spoke freely.

As the troops won battles one after another, the 48th Independent Brigade inevitably had some thoughts of underestimating the enemy in the East.

Especially after the reorganization, their overall strength can be greatly supplemented.

The entire brigade's Moon-type 90MM mortars were directly transferred by the Seventh Army Headquarters.

Can those larger caliber mortars be organized into divisional mortar units?

Zhao Yinfu, on the other hand, replenished a batch of 82MM mortars to the 48th Independent Brigade.

Does each infantry battalion of the 358th Regiment currently have three 82MM mortars?

As for each infantry battalion of the 11th Reserve Regiment, there are two captured moon-type 81MM mortars.

After all, Chen Ziyun's 11th Reserve Regiment has an artillery battalion, so will there be any reduction in mortars?

In this way, the two regiments complement each other, and the number of artillery pieces in each regiment is not weak.

The 358th Regiment has six mountain guns and twelve 82MM mortars.

The 11th Reserve Regiment has six 81MM mortars and 11 mountain guns.

The brigade is directly under the jurisdiction of four field guns and four infantry guns (the guard company and the east cavalry company are under the machine gun platoon).

The whole brigade has forty-three Zhiwan cannons. Such a configuration is absolutely perfect.

Precisely because of this, the officers felt that ordinary little devils would never be able to defeat the 48th Independent Brigade.

"Everyone, although they have won battles one after another, they are still good and weak."

"Every time they fought, there were certain casualties. Please tell me about the weapons and equipment. They are indeed capable, but they are not capable of fighting alone. They are not even as good as the Eighth Route Army."

"It is said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. If you have won a few battles and thus underestimated the Yuan army, they will definitely be defeated sooner or later."

"No one should be arrogant or complacent. Even if Yue Jun is a soft persimmon, he should be hit as a hard rock."

"What's more, is the Yue Army a soft persimmon? They are not, on the contrary, in their eyes, they are the real soft persimmons!"

Chu Yunfei had a serious expression on his face and said in a stern tone.

If he is familiar with the art of war, he will naturally know the consequences of the troops being complacent and despising the wrong leg.

Seeing that Chu Yunfei was a little angry, the officers immediately came quietly.

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong came to the map and immediately made deployment arrangements to ease the atmosphere at the scene.

It was at that time that a signal soldier quickly came to the room.

"Senate, sir, we just received urgent news from the cavalry company."

"The troops of the new regiment guarding Yangcun were moved overnight, and the position there was taken over by the other eight groups."

"There are currently more than 200 Eighth Route Army troops stationed in the Yangcun area, which is a strengthened company."

The signal soldier came into the room and quickly saluted and reported.

After hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Chu Yunfei looked at the map's location in Yangcun, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Brigade, they...did they get the news that the Lunar Army was about to launch an attack? They just ran away!"

Qian Bojun, who had been silent before, immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
