Good! Da Biao! Your 1st Battalion is responsible for attacking the south of the village, the 3rd Battalion is responsible for attacking the west of Mazhuang, and the 2nd Battalion is responsible for attacking the east of Mazhuang. After the 4th Battalion sneak attacked and captured more than a dozen Japanese garrisoned hills north of Mazhuang, the 1st Battalion began to attack the Japanese defensive positions in the south of the village in an all-out way, and entered the Mazhuang from the south of the village. Now all the commanders and fighters have gone back to prepare, the fourth battalion can secretly detour with the villagers in Mazhuang, and kill behind the Japanese defensive positions north of Mazhuang, once your four battalions start, the rest of the troops will launch a full-scale attack! ”

Li Yunlong nodded, then pointed to the map and said, staring at He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion.

I saw He Yongjie immediately stand up and salute: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, once the fourth battalion launches a surprise attack, it is guaranteed to deal with the Japanese army north of Mazhuang within ten minutes!" ”。

"Okay, once you successfully capture the hilltop position held by the Japanese army north of Mazhuang, you will immediately fire signal flares, and then it will be time for our other departments to launch a full-scale attack on Mazhuang!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head, once he captured the north of Mazhuang, the Japanese troops in Mazhuang were under his own firepower.

If the dozen or so hills north of Mazhuang can't accommodate so many people, judging from the scale of more than 10,000 Japanese troops on the south route of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army under the command of Yamada Hao, Yamada Hao will not fail to think of the importance of the dozen or so mountains north of Mazhuang.

Therefore, the devils on the more than a dozen hills north of Mazhuang only had about the strength of an infantry brigade, which made Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others secretly relieved. If there was one more infantry brigade to defend the dozen or so hills north of Mazhuang, at least Li Yunlong would only be able to transfer at least one more battalion to support He Yongjie's sneak attack.

"Good! All the ministries have been deployed, go back and prepare! Once the sneak attack gunfire of the fourth battalion sounds, the rest of the troops will first temporarily feint to attack the other three directions of Mazhuang, and once the fourth battalion successfully captures the north of Mazhuang and fires a signal flare, then it is time for us to attack Mazhuang in an all-out way! It's all clear, right!! ”

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said in a condensed voice.

"Yes, Commander, understood!" Zhang Dabiao and other commanders and fighters stood up and saluted.

Li Yunlong nodded, and then motioned for everyone to go out and prepare immediately.

With Li Yunlong's order, all the commanders and fighters rushed out one after another and returned to their respective units to prepare.

He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, rushed back to his troops as soon as possible, and Li Yunlong found a few villagers who were familiar with the local terrain and could not be used as a guide from the villagers in Mazhuang who were hiding in the nearby mountains.

At this time, in accordance with Li Yunlong's order, the other units of the new regiment surrounded all parts of Mazhuang Village and began to dig trenches.

The movements of the new regiment were quickly seen through binoculars by Hiroshi Yamada, who was observing the situation outside the village from the roof of his headquarters in Mazhuang Village, and Hiroaki Sakamoto, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division.

"Chief of Staff, it seems that Li Yunlong is going to rely on the trench attack to advance! It's just that in the current heavy snow situation, this is a bit more than worth the loss! It doesn't seem to have much effect! ”

Hiroaki Sakamoto frowned, which was a bit strange. It stands to reason that Li Yunlong should at least attack a wave of his own firepower to try to defend Mazhuang?

Yamada Hao's face was cold, at this time, he no longer had a contempt for the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but had a solemn and important mood.

It is also said that more than 15,000 elite devils of the Japanese army on the North Road commanded by Kenichi Muto were eaten by the other party at the mouth of the forked river five kilometers north of Wei County. And then there was a quick reversal of the attack to pursue his own side, forcing Yamada Hiroshi to retreat to Mazhuang to wait for reinforcements in this weather situation.

This is enough to make Yamada Hao attach great importance to Li Yunlong's movements now.

It's just that the current movement also makes Yamada Hiroshi puzzled.

"It's better to be still than to be still, but at the moment, Li Yunlong is very cunning. In this way, order the mortar squadron to hit him first with a dozen shells, boom, and see how the new regiment reacts! ”

Yamada Hao thought about it, and finally waved his hand and said.

Hiroaki Sakamoto paused: "Understood, Chief of Staff!" ”。

After that, Hiroaki Sakamoto directly ordered the various units of the devils who were guarding the east, west, and south of Mazhuang to use mortars to shell the troops of the new regiment advancing in the trench attack.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!"

I saw that with the order of the commander of the devil artillery, the mortar shells fired by the little devils drew a curved curve, and smashed into the outside of the village with a roar.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Mortar shells continued to fall on the troops of the new regiment that were digging trenches and attacking and advancing, but the soldiers of several battalions of the new regiment were already veterans, listening to the whistling of the devil's mortar shells, and lying down and hiding in a hurry.

Some soldiers were still waiting for the shells of the devil's mortars until the moment they exploded, and they did not lie down, because in the ears of the veterans, some of the mortar shells were still far away from them, and it was not worth lying down and hiding in a panic.

The devil mortar squadron in Mazhuang Village continued to bombard with shells, but the soldiers of the new regiment of various units who were not in a hurry still dug trenches around the outside of Mazhuang Village according to the plan, at least digging some trenches and individual pits first, so as to serve as a starting cover for the attack when attacking Mazhuang in an all-out way.

A few minutes later, the other party was still digging trenches at a slow pace in the direction of the devils who were constantly shelling, which made Yamada Hiroshi and Hiroaki Sakamoto Hiroshi Zhangji puzzled, what was Li Yunlong doing?

"Chief of Staff, the situation is a little wrong, looking at it, is Li Yunlong going to dig trenches to attack and advance, and directly approach our defensive position with civil fortifications?"

Hiroaki Sakamoto frowned, and the snowflakes kept falling on the old devil's military hat, covering layers of white snowflakes.

Yamada Hao was also cold, rubbing his hands and condensing his voice: "Perhaps, order the first-line defensive positions, fire strikes, important light and heavy machine gun firepower should not be exposed, suppress it first and see!" ”。

At this time, Yamada Hao didn't know what the other party was going to do, but there were more than 10,000 people on Mazhuang's side, and it shouldn't be a problem to be able to block it at least for a while.

"Yes, Chief of Staff! Humble duty understands. ”

Hiroaki Sakamoto nodded, and it was only possible to do so at this time.

If Mazhuang is attacked by the other party, Hiroaki Sakamoto is still a little happy, but now that Li Yunlong ordered his troops to attack and advance like this, it seems a little weird! It's just that in the current situation, Hiroaki Sakamoto also knows that if he swings his master out of the horse village, he may fall into the trap of the other party, so let's take a look first!
