If you can't figure it out, you don't want to.

The head of the regiment can definitely think of the problems that he can think of.

In the end, the battlefield was chosen outside Laiyuan City, there was only one possibility, and the regiment commander already had a better way to deal with the little devil.

Xiaolizhuang is a very inconspicuous village five kilometers north of Laiyuan City, there were originally ten households and more than 40 people, almost all of whom were mountain people who lived by hunting.

When the Japanese attacked Laiyuan, it was unfortunately sacked by an infantry squad of the Japanese army.

The mountain people were killed, the finances were robbed, and the lively village slowly fell into defeat, and finally it was completely depopulated.

It's close enough to the battlefield, it's remote enough, and it's uninhabited......

These characteristics allowed Li Hao to locate this place as the former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment.

The small village of ruined wealth has become lively again, and the houses without even roofs have been renovated and used as the war rooms of the headquarters.

A large military map hangs on the wall, with the city of Triumph clearly marked in the center.

With Laiyuan City as the center, three huge red arrows were marked around it, which were the specific locations and attack directions of the Japanese puppet army's three-way attacking forces.

Li Hao stood in front of the map, staring at the drawings for nearly two hours without resting.

Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng stood by and summarized the battle reports sent by the reconnaissance and communication companies.

"The Gaoqiao United team has advanced another five kilometers, and there are still ten kilometers left from Laiyuan City." Hong Linfeng said in a low voice, signaling his subordinates to mark the news on the map.

The red arrow, representing the Takahashi Wing, was immediately moved by the combat staff officer twenty centimeters in the direction of Laiyuan City.

Li Hao frowned, glanced at his watch, and replied, "Contact Huang Sheng immediately and increase the intensity of the block."

"There are still four hours before it gets dark, and at this marching speed, the Takahashi Wing will definitely rush to the outside of Laiyuan City two hours before dark, launch a direct attack, take Laiyuan City, and then camp in the city to rest."

"When the time comes, there will be planes in the sky and artillery on the ground, and the defending troops will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

"Tell Huang Sheng to find a way to delay the road for an hour, I want the devil to rush out of the city an hour before dark, and the plane escorting them all the way can only leave early in order not to rush the night, so that the devil will have no air support in this hour.

"With the cautious nature of the Japanese, they definitely want to set up camp in the city."

"Then seize the last hour before dark to attack the city."

"All we have to do is take advantage of this opportunity and hit them hard again."

"Yes, regimental commander......" An operations staff officer stood by and rushed out of the war room like the wind.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese forward troops finally reached the outside of Laiyuan City.

The city gate is closed, and there is a garrison regiment flag on the city gate tower, and some figures of the Eighth Route Army can be faintly seen on Cheng's head, and the black hole hole barrel sticking out of the battlement.

The captain of the forward brigade did not act rashly, and decisively sent someone to report to the wing captain.

Takahashi did not answer immediately after listening to the report, but ordered his subordinates to spread out the map.

"Sir, the north of Laiyuan City is a plain within five kilometers of the city wall, and it must be safe for troops to be stationed here. He suggested that the troops camp on the spot and wait for the arrival of the air force tomorrow before attacking Laiyuan City. The chief of staff pointed to the map and analyzed.

Takahashi shook his head and objected: "Chief of Staff, you have neglected Laiyuan City. ”

"If Laiyuan City is in our hands, and the troops are stationed outside the city with their backs to Laiyuan City, leaving a three-kilometer warning area around it, it will definitely be very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to sneak attack us through this area."

"But now Laiyuan City is not in our hands."

"In order to ensure safety, the troops should be at least two kilometers away from the city wall, and two kilometers from the nearest mountain, and there is only one kilometer left in the area that can be used to build camps, which is simply not enough."

"If you forcibly set up camp, the density of personnel will definitely be very high, and if a shell of the Eighth Route Army comes in, the troops will suffer heavy casualties."

A look of solemnity flashed on the chief of staff's face, and he immediately agreed: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with heavy mortars, and it can easily cover our station on the head of the city. Not only will the troops suffer heavy casualties, but everyone will not be able to rest. ”

Takahashi Osa affirmed: "Our opponents are too cunning, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to sneak up on us." ”

"So, the best place to camp tonight is Laiyuan City."

"From what I know about the Eighth Route Army, they are not good at fighting positional battles with us, and they can avoid it when they exchange fire with us."

"The same is true of the garrison regiment, except for the first two days of positional warfare with us using fortifications, and the next two days of guerrilla warfare and movement warfare against us."

"So I judge that they won't defend Laiyuan City."

The chief of staff asked thoughtfully: "Sir, do you mean that Laiyuan City is an empty city, and the heavy security seen by the forward troops is all the garrison regiment bluffing?" ”

"Quite possibly." Takahashi Daisa affirmed.

"If the garrison is going to defend Laiyuan, we can unite with several other attacking forces to surround this place, and then swallow all the defending troops in one bite under the cover of aircraft and artillery."

"This is something that the garrison must have wanted."

"I don't believe that they have enough troops to the point where we can eat one or two battalions at will, so they will never take a small number of troops to risk entering Laiyuan City." ”

The chief of staff reacted quickly and immediately ordered: "I will order the forward brigade to attack now, and send a squadron to Laiyuan City to find out." ”

"If it's really an empty city, I'll camp in the city tonight."

Takahashi Osa stopped: "Wait a minute, one squadron is too little." ”

"Order: The forward brigade concentrates all its artillery fire on the head of the city for five minutes, and then all the infantry will attack and enter Laiyuan City together."

"Although the garrison regiment will not defend Laiyuan City, it will not give up such a large county seat, and some small units must be arranged in the city to sneak attack our troops entering the city."

"There are fewer troops going in, and that's the sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

"Squadron after squadron goes in, that's a refueling tactic."

"Only a large brigade can fight in together, so that the Eighth Route Army left behind in Laiyuan City can feel that the attacking force is strong and retreat without a fight, so that we can take Laiyuan City with minimal losses."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if we misjudge, the garrison has deployed heavy troops in Laiyuan City, and a large team can ensure that they have enough strength to retreat."

"What we need to do at that time is to surround Laiyuan City at all costs and prevent the defenders from breaking through."

"When the other attacking troops arrive, swallow them in one bite."

"Boom ......"

Eight mortars, four mountain guns, and two infantry guns quickly roared.

At the top of the city, fires and smoke were everywhere, and sandbags and ammunition boxes were constantly thrown into the sky and smashed outside the city.

The heavy city gate was directly attacked by two mountain guns, and explosions rang out one after another.

A large amount of smoke soon poured out of the five-black city gate hole, which was produced by the explosion of the cannonballs.
