Seeing that his regiment commander was full of confidence, Zhang Dabiao also shrugged his shoulders and said that indeed the brilliant achievements of our new regiment can indeed support the confidence of our regiment commander.

However, as for whether he can capture Yangquan with this amount of strength, Zhang Dabiao is still up and down at this time, after all, the little devil who defends the city, but the elite troops under the command of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army can't be despised either!

"Commander, then let's attack Yangquan's side first?" Zhang Dabiao said.

Yangquan is on the Zhengtai Railway, which makes it so that once the new regiment attacks Yangquan, the Japanese wing headquarters in the city will inevitably send an urgent telegram to the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City. The importance of the Sanjin portal made Zhang Dabiao believe that he could only fight quickly, not for a long time.

Li Yunlong led everyone to climb a hillside with dense woods again, pointed to the north city of Yangquan and said: "According to the topography of Yangquan, it is best for us to attack from the north city, once the north city is taken, it will be much easier for us to attack the other three cities from a high position!" Although we removed the troops that blocked the reinforcements of the Japanese army, we only had about 800 troops to attack the city. However, we are concentrating our forces to attack the city in one direction, and in terms of strength and firepower, we will form a local advantage over the Japanese troops defending the city! ”。

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "So, based on the information we have obtained so far, we will have a great chance of winning the attack on Beicheng. After the Japanese army occupied Yangquan for a long time, it was already under internal control, and the vigilance of the garrison had been greatly reduced! Therefore, when we suddenly steal the city at this time, the odds are great! ”。

"Commander, you give the order!" Zhang Dabiao and the others immediately stood up and begged for battle, saying, in the final analysis, the new regiment's courage to fight has never been timid because of the lack of troops.

Li Yunlong was very satisfied with Zhang Dabiao and the others' desire to fight, and immediately waved his hand to beckon everyone to squat down, and said: "In addition to the troops that have been transferred, the rest of the more than 800 brothers have concentrated their forces and launched an attack from Beicheng!" Zhang Dabiao, your first battalion is the main attack battalion of our new regiment, and it has always been a good fighter in positional warfare and urban street warfare! As always, your battalion is the main attacker! ”。

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission!" Zhang Dabiao stood up and saluted.

Li Yunlong nodded, motioned for Zhang Dabiao to squat down, and continued to say to Zhou Hua, the commander of the special service battalion on the side: "Old Zhou, your special service battalion is good at fighting blocking warfare, guerrilla warfare, after the first battalion tore open the gate of the north city, the two wings were spread out, and the east and west cities were attacked in a roundabout way. ”。

"Yes, Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! You can rest assured! "This is the battle that Zhou Hua's subordinates are good at, and he said with a proper guarantee.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, pillar!" ”。

Wang Chengzhu, the captain of the artillery team of the new regiment, who also participated in the discussion of the combat meeting, was also present at this time, and suddenly said loudly: "Regiment commander! ”。

"Your five mortars are still intact? How many shells are left now? Li Yunlong asked Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu immediately said: "Regiment commander, although our artillery shells have been used in the previous battles of Ningwu, Guangwu, Xinkou and other battles, but in the attack on these places, we have continuously replenished the mortar shells from the captured Japanese baggage, and now there are at least two base shells, which should be enough!" ”。

"Okay, your artillery team is ready to prepare, and then you will concentrate artillery fire on Lao Tzu and bombard the Japanese firepower points and city gates on both sides of the north city, especially as soon as the battle starts, the little devil will inevitably close the city gate, and when the time comes, you kid will use mortars to blast open the city gate for me, so that the attacking infantry brothers can kill into the city!" Li Yunlong ordered Wang Chengzhu!

Wang Chengzhu nodded, but suddenly said: "Regiment commander, the mortar is a curved artillery, I'm afraid it's not easy to blow up the city gate!" ”。

"Damn, you kid tilt the mortar at a certain angle and aim it at the city gate, and when the shells fall under the mortar and have not yet completed the firing, quickly lay it flat and aim at the city gate, so it can be regarded as a direct gun?" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said a way to Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu is a first-class soldier, so he naturally quickly realized that Li Yunlong's method was really achievable, and immediately said excitedly: "Regiment leader, your method is awesome." Curved guns can be used as direct-fire guns in this way! This method can be completely realized, regimental commander, ensure that the city gate will be blown up as soon as possible! ”。

"Okay, then let's go! Let the brothers prepare and prepare, activities, this cold day, it is estimated that the hands and feet are not good! Five minutes later, Wang Chengzhu's artillery bombardment covered, the first battalion was on me, the special battalion followed, and the third battalion was guerrilla outside the city to block the Japanese army from leaving the city! Brothers, win! Li Yunlong said to everyone in a low voice.

Zhang Dabiao and others got up one after another and said: "You will win, kill the devil!" ”！ Afterwards, they each returned to their troops to start preparations for the siege before the battle.

And when Li Yunlong attacked Yangquan North City, there was no martial law in Yangquan at this time, because the Japanese defender Ichiro Yamato of the 6th Infantry Wing of the 31st Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in this city did not expect that someone would attack Yangquan City, which was heavily defended!

At this time, Ichiro Yamato was having fun with the chief of staff of the wing, Gao Tengjiro, in the green building in the city!

I have to say that although the Japanese army is actually known as an invincible so-called imperial army. But once it settles down, the murderous little devil at the beginning will also fall into the gentle township. What's more, at this time, Yangquan was already in the deep control area of the Japanese army, and it was the main transportation route of the Zhengtai Railway, and Yamato Ichiro believed that even if there was an enemy attack, it would be impossible to break through Yangquan City, which was heavily garrisoned by the Japanese army.

Therefore, during this period of time, the old devil Yamato Ichiro and the adjutant chief of staff Gao Tengjiro have been partnering to go to the green building in the city to have fun, which has made the vigilance of the Japanese garrison in Yangquan City much lower. I didn't know that outside the city of Beicheng at this time, there was already a new regiment of troops eyeing Yangquan.

"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, Chief of Staff! There is an urgent message from the headquarters at the wing headquarters, which needs to be handled by His Excellency Dazuo and the Chief of Staff! Just when the two old devils were having fun with Kentaro Sugihara in Xinkou, a devil staff officer of the Japanese Army Wing Headquarters in Yangquan City rushed to the Qinglou to report to Ichiro Yamato and Taka Tengjiro.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it! Yamato Ichiro didn't care, just waved his hand while stroking the Ji girl in the green building and said.

The Japanese staff officer of the wing headquarters said heavily: "The headquarters urgently telegraphed our department, asking to strengthen the defense of the city. The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army fought all the way after attacking Xinkou, attacking the city, and now it is gone, and ordered our troops to strictly defend the city! ”。

"Nani?" Ichiro Yamato said in shock!
