Chapter 146: Confusing the Enemy
Half an hour later, Li Hong returned to the regimental headquarters.
The headquarters was set up in a compound on Dongmen Street, and the family was originally a wealthy local businessman, but the whole family was emptied during the war.
Entering the headquarters, there was a long spliced table with several telephones on the table, as well as a map scale.
Li Hong glanced at the headquarters and asked the heralds and messengers to check the communication situation, and now all battalions and companies of their security regiment have telephone communication tools.
"Report, regimental seat, the communication of the companies of the first battalion is unimpeded."
"Report, regimental seats, artillery battalion companies are communicating unimpeded."
"Report, regimental seat, and each company of the three battalions are communicating smoothly."
……
The communications of all battalions and companies were unimpeded, and the radio signals were unimpeded, and all of them could respond to each other.
"Tuanzao, this is an order from the war zone." The communications squad leader handed over a telegram to Li Hong.
Picking up the telegram and looking at it, gradually, Li Hong frowned, and there was a trace of solemnity and sorrow on his face.
Originally, when the security regiment received the order to guard Zhuang County, it only needed to hold on for three days, and this was already the third day that the security regiment had held on, and if it had followed the previous order, it would have completed the task of holding on tomorrow afternoon.
However, this new telegram ordered their security regiment to hold on for another five days, and make every effort to block the 3rd Brigade and Panasonic Wing of the devils attacking from the middle lane.
At present, most of the devil's troops are attacking the eastern and southern fronts, the front line is tight, the national army is gathering closer to Taiyuan, and the various units guarding Taiyuan are busy establishing defensive positions and building fortifications to resist the Japanese invaders.
Because the speed of the little devil's attack was too fast, the national army troops guarding Taiyuan did not have enough time for troop deployment and defensive deployment, so the security regiment had to block the Japanese army within the time specified in the order.
If the security regiment retreats to Zhuang County and loses in advance, then the defense line of the national army troops that has not yet completed the deployment will start a battle and collapse at the touch of a button!
At this time, Li Hong was really worried, and holding on to Zhuang County for another five days was a very arduous and stressful combat mission.
The security regiment plus the Jin Sui Army also has the 321st Regiment and 2nd Battalion, and all the soldiers who can be put into battle do not exceed 3,000 people.
The little devil Panasonic Wing has a complete military structure, with a number of nearly 4,000 people, and although the 3rd Brigade has suffered a lot of damage, there are still about 5,000 troops in the battle, and there are nearly 10,000 combat troops in the two enemy forces.
With a force of less than 3,000 people, against nearly 10,000 little devil troops, it can only be said that Li Hong is too difficult.
Li Hong was not thinking about how to defend Zhuang County, because he and the enemy received death orders, and no matter how hard he defended, it was impossible to defend Zhuang County for five days.
After thinking calmly and for a long time, Li Hong had a preliminary plan in his heart to deal with the enemy, and was ready to adopt encroachment tactics and delaying tactics.
His battle plan is very clear, waiting for an opportunity to find fighters, or create fighters by himself, eat up the enemy's small forces little by little, slowly weaken the enemy's forces, and delay the enemy's breakthrough into Zhuang County in the maximum time and space.
That night, Li Hong summoned all the battalion and company commanders to the headquarters and redeployed the battle plan, preparing to sing an empty plan to the enemy.
At the same time, martial law was also issued throughout the city, and in order to avoid bombing by bombers, civilians who remained in the city were not allowed to go out at will.
……
Early the next morning, the scouts of the 3rd Brigade of the Devils detected the entire line of the security regiment and disarmed.
Wu Teng Xinnan, an old fox, did not order the whole line to attack Zhuang County when he heard the news of the withdrawal of the security regiment, but first sent a Japanese reconnaissance plane to conduct aerial reconnaissance.
"Buzz—"
Early in the morning, there was a rush of aircraft engine sound in the sky of Zhuangxian.
The Devil Flying Team received the task, and the two Devil reconnaissance planes immediately took off and roared into the sky over Zhuang County.
The flying devil reconnaissance plane appeared to be very cautious, maintaining an altitude of 1,200 meters and hovering over Zhuangxian.
The devil pilots who flew the reconnaissance plane did not dare to be careless in the slightest, because they knew that the security regiment had anti-aircraft guns, so they did not dare to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance at all.
The devil flying scout held a telescope in his hand and looked down from a high altitude, and things on the ground gradually magnified and became clear.
In the line of sight of their telescopes, there was hardly any cooking smoke on the ground, there were no troops in the fortifications of the city towers, not a single figure walked around the streets, and even the city gates were wide open, and overnight, the whole Zhuang County was like a dead city.
Seeing that the ground had become an empty city, the two devil flight scouts lowered their flight altitude and conducted low-altitude reconnaissance again.
"Great Gujun, there are basically no people in this city."
"I haven't found anything here, it seems that the soldiers and civilians of China escaped at night yesterday, the reconnaissance mission was completed, and we can return."
The two devil flight scouts exchanged a few words through the throat microphone, and then they quickly left the sky over Zhuang County in the plane.
Zhuang County is not empty, but all the soldiers and civilians are hidden, and the devil pilots have not discovered it.
Last night, Li Hong gave orders to all the subordinates, and in order to confuse the enemy, all the fortifications and artillery on the ground were camouflaged.
Hearing the sound of the devil's plane's engine quieting down, the soldiers came out of the hidden corners of the city.
"The little devil plane is gone, quick, hurry back to the bunker fortifications!"
The officers and soldiers of the security regiment quickly returned to the bunker fortifications, and everyone lay quietly under the fortifications, and no one showed their heads.
The city was quiet, and the officers and soldiers were ambushing around, waiting for the little devils to enter the city and play dog traps.
In the open space not far from the headquarters of the security regiment, Chen Lin's face was dark, his eyes were red, and he was busy cooking with the soldiers of the cooking class.
Strange to say, other cooking classes have some tobacco around them, but his cooking class makes a fire to make rice and hardly sees the cooking smoke.
Li Hong exercised his body at the gate of the headquarters for a while, then walked straight to Chen Lin and kicked it.
"Okay, you kid, do you know how to build a smokeless stove?"
Many of the guards in the security regiment also build smokeless stoves, but they are not as concealed as Chen Lin's smokeless stoves and have a good smoke scattering effect.
Chen Lin wiped the dark face on his face, and said proudly: "Brother-in-law, cultivating a smokeless stove in the field, isn't this a pediatric matter for your brother-in-law." ”
Before Chen Lin went to military school, he specialized in studying and researching many military materials at home and abroad.
Later, not long after he went to the military academy, the instructors said that they couldn't teach him, not that Chen Linjun made mistakes repeatedly, but mainly because this kid has a flexible brain, his learning ability is too strong, and he can become a talent by self-study, and the instructor really has nothing to teach him, so let him graduate as soon as possible.
He, the trainee platoon commander, didn't rely on Lao Tzu's relationship, it was a military rank and position obtained by his own ability, if it wasn't for Chen Tingxiao's deliberate suppression, he would have been at least a captain when he came out of the military academy.
