It was the afternoon of the next day.

Today, during the day, there was no movement from the two devil divisions gathered outside Taierzhuang.

The enemy returned from a crushing defeat yesterday, and the devils seemed to be frightened and did not dare to attack easily.

The 5th Division and the 10th Division were indeed frightened by the defenders of Taierzhuang, but the 4th Division, which had always been afraid of death, was quietly preparing tools to cross the river and gather troops to prepare for war.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army was going to attack the 18th Independent Brigade, but Li Hong did not know about it.

At present, Li Hong's mind is not on dealing with the enemy, but on when the large forces of the Central Army will be able to launch a roundabout military operation to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

After all, the security team has been holding out for almost three days.

Originally, the 5th Theater of Operations was planned to encircle and annihilate the 2nd Army of the Security Regiment and Sun Liancheng to hold Taierzhuang for three days to contain the Japanese army.

After absorbing the main force of the Japanese army, the 20th Army Corps of the Central Army was responsible for making a detour to the enemy's periphery to form an encirclement situation.

Previously, Li Hong and the commanders of the theater worked out this roundabout battle plan, and this battle plan can be said to be seamless.

At present, the three divisions of the Japanese army have all entered the trap, and now is a good time to pull the encirclement network from the enemy's flank, but the 20th Army Corps of the Central Army is still hovering in place.

The fighter plane on the battlefield is fleeting, and now the fighter plane is in front of you.

If the Chinese troops did not seize this fighter in time, once the devil division was aware of the reaction, the entire plan of encirclement and annihilation would have fallen short and declared a failure.

If there is a change in Taierzhuang's battle plan, the battle situation will be very grim.

In this way, the security regiment and the 2nd Army will be surrounded by 3 divisions of the Japanese army, and in the end, all the defenders of Taierzhuang will only be wiped out and sacrificed in vain.

The 20th Army only obeyed the principal, and did not even listen to the orders of the commander of the 5th theater, and Li Hong was really helpless.

After all, not all generals of the national army can be as determined to fight to the end as Li Hong.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of many units of the national army is not weak, but the generals of these units behave similarly to the 4th Division of the Japanese army, only thinking about preserving their strength and fighting passively.

Li Hong sat at the command headquarters and thought irritably for a long time, when suddenly, Zhang Baohua came to the regiment headquarters with the guards.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

Li Hong asked Zhang Baohua to sit down and personally poured him a glass of water.

Zhang Baohua is a smart person, he saw that Li Hong was preoccupied, and said in a depressed tone: "Brother Hong, why did I come to your headquarters, can't you guess?" ”

Li Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhang, we are about to complete the deadline, I have sent several telegrams to the commander of the war zone to urge, but the 20th Army Corps still has no action. ”

Zhang Baohua shook his head and said helplessly: "Brother Hong, there is no way, the 20th Army is the principal's descendant, and Commander Tang does not listen to Chief Li's command at all......"

The two drank a cup of tea and were silent for a while.

Li Hong pondered for a moment, frowned and said slowly, "Brother Zhang, haven't you seen it yet?" The Tang Army is deliberately grinding foreign workers, they are waiting and seeing, wanting us and the little devils to fight to the death, consuming most of the Japanese army's troops, and they can reap the benefits of the fishermen! ”

"Hehe......"

Zhang Baohua smiled coldly, in fact, he was like a mirror in his heart, but he was just a miscellaneous army commander, what could he do?

Li Hong was short-tempered, Huo Ran stood up and threw down the teacup in his hand in anger.

"Damn, I, Li Hong, can die in battle, but I will never be meaningless cannon fodder, forcing Lao Tzu to be anxious, and beating them as little devils!"

"Brother Li, calm down, I believe that the commanders of the war zone will not sit idly by......"

Zhang Baohua knew that Li Hong had always taken the overall situation into account, and what he said just now was just angry words, but he believed that Li Hong would really give the 20th Legion a little color if he was in a hurry.

After careful consideration, and for the sake of the overall situation of Taierzhuang, Li Hong decided to join all the generals of the 2nd Group Army and send a telegram to the commander of the theater together, urging the 20th officer to form an encirclement of the Japanese army as soon as possible, otherwise, the Chinese army will miss a good opportunity.

……

At night, at one o'clock in the morning, north of Taierzhuang.

Tonight, the night wind was cold, there was not a trace of moonlight in the sky, and the sky was pitch black.

Under such environmental conditions, it can be said that it is an excellent opportunity for night attack.

Before the enemy attacked the position of the 18th Brigade, Yuzaburo Matsui and other officers carefully studied and analyzed that if they wanted to take the position of the 18th Brigade and reduce casualties, only the night attack had the most advantage.

The commander of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, Yuzaburo Matsui, seized this favorable condition and ordered the 8th Wing to attack the position of the 18th Brigade north of the city at night.

In this operation, the Japanese 4th Division did not grind any more foreign work, and all the troops of the 8th Wing assembled on the opposite bank of the 18th Brigade on time.

In order to fight this night raid well, the little devil can be said to be deliberate, and the enemy has done enough intelligence work in advance and has made preparations for attack.

The 8th Wing of the Japanese Army was all distributed with ammunition for night warfare, and nearly 100 boats were mobilized to cross the river.

The commander of the 8th Wing of the Japanese Army, Nakajima Sandwich, stood by the river with a command knife and looked out at the quiet position across the river.

Soon, the Devil artillery unit established an artillery position on the shore.

At this time, a devil Shaozo ran to Nakajima Sandwich to report: "Report to the wing commander, the artillery position has been established, and the rest of the departments can cross the river at any time." ”

"Yo Xi!"

Immediately, Nakajima Sandwich ordered the troops to begin crossing the river.

The devil soldiers pushed the tools of the boats crossing the river to the surface of the river.

Soon, hundreds of devils took the lead, picked up weapons and ammunition, and then crossed the river in wooden boats, rubber boats, and bamboo rafts.

The defenders of the 18th Brigade not far from the other side of the river, although there were natural dangers such as the river to defend, but in the night, it was pitch black, and the visibility around was very low, and almost nothing could be seen.

The devil soldiers knew the weapons and equipment of the 18th Brigade well, and the enemy knew that the Chinese defenders did not have flares or searchlights, so the devil soldiers could cross the river with confidence.

In less than ten minutes, the vanguard of the devils quietly reached the other side of the river.

As soon as these hundreds of devil soldiers came ashore, the direction of the offensive route was very clear.

Even though it was dark all around, the devils were able to find the direction and find a suitable position on the bank of the river.

After a while, hundreds of little devils quickly established a firepower point according to the surrounding terrain.

The 4th Division of the Devil was able to stand undefeated on the battlefield, and it was really not a fluke.

If there was no previous terrain route reconnaissance, it would be impossible for the devil soldiers to seize the advantageous terrain so quickly and establish a good firepower position.

In the case of a real night attack by a waste army, I am afraid that the machine guns and artillery will not know where to set up, let alone fight a night attack.

"Everyone crosses the river, quickly drip ......"

The devil troops behind, under the cover of the vanguard, crossed the river and landed on the shore with a steady stream of river-crossing tools......
