After reading the content of the telegram replied by Li Dayeju, Li Hong couldn't help laughing, this Li Dayeju is really a wolf who howls when he sees the smell of meat.

"Tuanza, what are you laughing at?" Shi Yibiao next to him asked incomprehensibly.

"As the old saying goes, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, Li Yunlong has already taken the troops to Ping'an County to eat meat."

Li Hong continued to all the officers: "Li Yunlong's troops eat meat when they see it, and it is reasonable for the officers and men to continue to grow stronger and stronger because they are not afraid of battle and are constantly accumulating experience in battle. ”

The officers of the security regiment nodded, and they all admired Li Yunlong's courage.

Some generals of the national army only care about preserving their strength, and even if they give him superior weapons and equipment, they will run away with a few shots in the face of opponents who are weaker than themselves.

Li Hong pondered for a while, and then ordered everyone: "Okay, everyone go back and prepare!" ”

"Yes, !! group"

After the officers of each battalion went down, they began to make various arrangements in accordance with Li Hong's operational instructions......

The time was quickly pushed to the afternoon, and the officers and men of the security regiment who had been given the combat mission gathered and approached outside the city one after another.

They quickly occupied the main positions outside the city in the east, south, and north directions, and dug trenches to build various fortifications, as well as artillery positions.

The security regiment had already launched a three-sided encirclement of the enemy in the city, but Li Hong did not rush to order an attack.

With the fire of the security regiments, it was not difficult to break through the enemy gate fortifications, but it was not conducive to the attack during the day.

The firepower of the little devil is not weak, there are many heavy weapons, and there is also the support of artillery and aircraft, if it is attacked, the troops will definitely have a lot of casualties.

Of course, Li Hong's strategy is far-reaching, and his purpose of attacking the city is not just an ancient city and county.

He reached a tacit agreement with the 2nd Theater Command to prepare to recover some major counties and towns and expand the area of operation of the Chinese troops.

Now that this battle has just begun, he besieged but did not attack, just to create tension and pressure for the little devils, so that the little devils' various strongholds continue to increase their troops.

As long as the little devils are reinforced, the rear will definitely be empty, and the national army and the Eighth Route Army can take the opportunity to uproot the devil's stronghold and recover some of the lost territory.

……

At dusk, the sound of fierce battles was heard within a hundred kilometers around Gucheng County.

Half an hour ago, Li Hong received a telegram from the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion that Mei Youcai's troops had exchanged fire with the reinforced Devil 107th Wing.

Although the 107th Wing is the number of the wing, it is a type B wing, and the staffing and firepower allocation have been reduced, and the overall combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the first type of wing.

The 107th Wing of the Devils left a part of its troops to guard Ping'an County, but in fact, the number of the Devils' Wing was only about 2,000 people.

Mei Youcai's second battalion has only more than 1,200 combatants, and in terms of numbers, there is a bit of a gap between the two sides.

However, the 2nd Battalion was equipped with a lot of German weapons and equipment, and it was far superior to the Japanese troops in terms of light firepower.

In terms of artillery, the 107th Wing of the Devil has a number of Type 92 infantry guns, and mortars and grenadiers are not a few.

The second battalion chose to march to the blocking place in the mountains, so it was impossible to carry any heavy firepower artillery, only more than 50 mortars and heavy machine guns of large and small calibers.

Ambush warfare is not siege warfare, it is supported by a large number of mortars and machine guns, and the firepower is enough to hang the little devils.

Gejia Village ambush point.

The officers and men of the 2nd Battalion launched an ambush on the passing 107th Wing of the Devil on the basis of favorable terrain.

The surrounding terrain of Gejia Village is basically mountainous, which is a good location for natural ambushes.

"Dada!!"

"Tutu Tutu Tutu Tu Tu !!"

"Tom ......"

Fierce fighting ensued between the two sides in the vicinity of Gejia Village, and the vicinity of several kilometers was filled with fierce gunfire fire.

The 107th Wing of the Devil received an order from the headquarters to reinforce Gucheng County at all costs.

The commander of the devil organized his troops, concentrated his firepower, and tried his best to launch an attack on the position of the second battalion, trying to break through the fire blockade.

"Imperial soldiers, break through the enemy positions in front of you, and give the ducks and chickens to !!"

"Grenadier, mortar, assault !!"

The devil's heavy firepower weapons opened fire together, and the firepower overwhelmingly attacked the defensive positions of the second battalion.

"Machine gun group covers, infantry charges forward!!"

Under the cover of powerful firepower, the devil infantry bravely rushed forward with weapons.

"Bang Bang !!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The devils moved forward with the help of cover, and at the same time, they pulled the bolt of the gun at the target in front of them and kept shooting.

"Rush, drip!!"

The little devils are like a pack of mad dogs that don't want to die, swarming up, not thinking about any casualties at all.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Enemy shells and bullets, as fierce as a torrential rain, were densely scattered near the positions of the second battalion.

The little devils attacked very quickly, and under the cover of fire, in less than ten minutes, they moved to less than 300 meters from the position of the second battalion.

At the beginning, the security regiment did not go all out to fight the little devils, but deliberately let the little devil infantry come up.

The enemy opened fire in full force, and although the fire was very heavy, the enemy also exposed many positions of fire.

Little devils have always been like this in war, they think that they have a lot of artillery, and when they encounter the Chinese army, they will be crushed by artillery fire, and then organize troops to charge.

In the impression of the devil officers and soldiers, most of the Chinese troops were backward in weaponry and equipment, and as long as the Japanese firepower poured down, the Chinese troops could be defeated.

The little devil didn't know that it was the security regiment that was ambushed, so the enemy commander didn't take the second battalion seriously at all.

At this time, Mei Youcai, the commander of the second battalion, saw the little devil approaching, and immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the position to counterattack with all their might. 、

"Artillery attack, machine gun group for suppressive !!"

As soon as the order was given, suddenly, all the heavy fire weapons and equipment of the second battalion were turned on.

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Tom, tom, tom......"

The gunfire suddenly became extremely dense and loud, and the sound of the cannon was deafening.

The firepower of the officers and men of the second battalion guarding the position suddenly increased several times more than before.

More than 50 mortars launched shelling together, and hundreds of grenades smashed into the side of the devil's heavy fire position.

Nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns fired together, and thousands of bullets flew towards the little devil soldiers who rushed up.

The little devil soldiers who attacked did not expect that the firepower of the ambush troops would become as fierce as this, and there was no gap between machine gun bullets and submachine guns.

"Ahh......h

"Uh, uh, uh!!"

The screams of the enemy were loud and painful.

The little devils who rushed to the front bore the brunt of the rain of bullets, and the bodies of many devil soldiers became sieves, and large pieces of plasma sprayed out.
