Ma Shangfeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, quickly conveyed Li Hong's instructions.

The logistics units of the cavalry battalion, as well as the various cooking squads, separately replenished a lot of rice and grain to the civilians, and also distributed a canned food to each person.

In the war-torn era, most of China was fighting everywhere, and all kinds of materials were scarce, which can be described as the people's livelihood.

Ordinary people are in dire straits, and even if they have money, they may not have a place to buy rice and food.

Li Hong ordered the troops to distribute food to the people, which was quite the right choice.

Of course, there are thousands of civilians, and even if each person is given a pound of food, it is a huge consumption expense of several thousand catties.

The security regiment was able to win many battles, and naturally it was inseparable from strong logistics, and the security regiment not only had sufficient ammunition, but also had sufficient food.

The food reserves of the security regiment are enough for tens of thousands of people to consume by a regular army, and the food distributed to civilians will not affect the security regiment at all.

At the rate of evacuation of civilians and the wounded, everyone in the city could be evacuated tonight.

As long as the security regiment has no scruples, it can fight hard with the little devils, and it is also more conducive to the breakthrough operation behind the security regiment.

However, Li Hong did not relax because of this, on the contrary, he was more careful to be wary of what military action the little devil might have tonight.

The little devil suffered a big loss during the day, and the enemy is likely to have a night attack at night.

Thinking of this, in order to prevent the devils from sneaking up at night, Li Hong immediately called the soldiers and informed the battalions to pay attention to beware.

When the troops guarding outside the city received the order, the soldiers loaded all their bullets and held their positions with wide eyes.

Not only that, but the soldiers outside the city also planted a large number of mines at the front of the position.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, the 3rd Division, the 5th Division, and the 10th Division of the Japanese Army rushed to the outside of Xuzhou one after another.

The devil's troops were all assembled 30 kilometers outside the city, counting the three divisions of the Japanese army that had just arrived, there were already five Japanese divisions and regiments outside Xuzhou.

These five Japanese divisions are all Class A divisions, and the total number of devils has reached 100,000.

The above Japanese troops have all fought with the security regiment, and without exception, these five devil divisions are all defeated under Li Hong.

Moreover, the commander of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army was killed by Li Hong himself.

Yoshino Taro, the commander of the 9th Devil's Division, learned the news of the arrival of other divisions, and he hurriedly invited the old devil to the headquarters to discuss the military situation together.

With so many reinforcements arriving, Taro Yoshino was not happy about it, on the contrary, his face was a little sad.

If Xuzhou City can be captured, this will undoubtedly be a first-class credit for the Japanese Imperial Army.

If we can take this opportunity to completely annihilate the security group and prevent future troubles, then it will be an immortal achievement, and we will become a hero of Great Japan and receive the highest glorious reward.

Yoshino Taro has always wanted to take an opportunity to become famous in a fight, and as soon as the other devil divisions come, maybe the immortal achievements will be seized by other divisions, so his face is so anxious and ugly.

As soon as Dohihara entered the headquarters, Taro Yoshino walked over quickly and said, "Dohihara-kun, the 3rd, 5th, 10th, and other master groups have already assembled in the Xuzhou area......"

Dofien glanced at the eager Yoshino Taro, and through the expression shown by the other party, Dotofuka, a spy leader who is good at observing words and feelings, immediately understood what Yoshino Taro was worried about.

As the commander of the Japanese army, all of them are insidious and greedy, and their selfishness is very heavy, in fact, Tu Feiyuan, an old devil, is also worried that other divisions and regiments have taken the lead.

Tu Feiyuan's face was full of sinister color, he thought calmly for a while, and said to Yoshino Taro: "Yoshino-kun, we attacked Xuzhou and lost our troops, although the commander did not ask questions, but it also made our two divisions lose face. ”

"If we want to win back the honor of the division, we can only take Xuzhou and eliminate the security regiment, and we must not let other divisions and regiments rob us of our credit......

Yoshino Taro nodded and proposed: "Tufei Yuanjun, while the other divisions are still gathering troops, we should launch a night attack on the defenders of the Xuzhou Security Regiment tonight, what do you think?" ”

"Yo Xi, that's what I mean!"

The two old devils, Dochien and Yoshino, coincided and laughed sinisterly.

Subsequently, the two old devils summoned a meeting of the officers of various departments to discuss the night attack tonight......

The devil officers and generals discussed together for more than half an hour and worked out a battle plan for a sneak attack at night.

In tonight's night raid, each of the two divisions of the devil sent a wing to fight, and the two wings of the devil served as the main attack, attacking the north and east of the city respectively.

After receiving the combat mission, the devil combat unit carried night combat ammunition and quickly assembled outside the city to stand by.

The time of the devil's attack was eleven o'clock, and at this time, the devil's heavy artillery unit was re-establishing its position.

The scouts of the security regiment outside the city, through the night vision binoculars, noticed that the devil troops were moving, as if they were preparing to attack.

Immediately, the scout reported the situation on the devil's side to Li Hong one by one.

After receiving the report from the scouts, Li Hong stood on the tall buildings in the city and carefully observed the movement of the enemy in the distance for a while.

The devils mobilized artillery and troops to get close to the outside of Xuzhou City, and it was obvious that the little devils were going to carry out a night attack tonight.

The enemy wants to carry out night attacks, Li Hong is not surprised, the little devil has always been insidious, and he will definitely not give up if he suffers a big loss during the day.

Considering that the devils had mobilized too much heavy artillery, Li Hong ordered all the troops outside the city to withdraw to the city for defense.

After the defenders outside the city received the order, the battalions withdrew to the city one after another, and quickly set up fortifications and fire fortifications on the towers.

It was eleven o'clock in the morning.

The artillery unit of the devil set up an artillery position, and the devil immediately launched an artillery bombardment.

"Tom !!"

"Tom !!"

On the artillery position of the devils, the sound of dense and far-reaching shelling sounded.

The sound of the shelling was very loud, spreading more than ten kilometers away, instantly breaking the silence of the night.

The two heavy artillery wings of the devils fiercely shelled the positions in the north and east of the city.

Countless cannonballs dragged the tail flames and flew out, the flames reflected half of the sky, and the cannonballs rained down on the positions outside the city of the security regiment.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Nearly 100 shells fell on the positions outside the city and exploded, the explosion was deafening, and the ground flickered with explosive flames.

There were too many shells fired by the devil artillery, and the enemy carried out carpet bombardment, and the ground quickly turned into a sea of fire.

The fortifications and firepower fortifications on the positions outside the city were all destroyed by bombing.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the security regiment outside the city evacuated their positions in advance, otherwise, with such a heavy artillery fire from the enemy, the defenders would definitely have suffered great casualties.
