The Japanese army was independently formed into a brigade headquarters, and the chief of staff hurriedly ran in with a solemn face.

After seeing Zhongtian Shanlang standing next to the sand table, he hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "General, all the attacking troops in the occupied area have all retreated and assembled, and they are currently stationed in the three positions of Tianwang Town, Dashangang, and Wanshan Town to rest and stand by!" ”

The operational staff officer reacted quickly and immediately marked the location of the station on the sand table.

At a glance, all three locations are excellent.

Thirty kilometers apart from each other, if you attack at the same time, you can directly sweep through this occupied area with garrison activities.

It's like a nail rake, directly combing this area through it, without missing a single enemy soldier.

Nakatayama's first reaction was to be happy.

This arrangement will certainly be of great benefit to the next round of sweeps that they will launch.

But before he could speak, the chief of staff spoke again, and his tone was obviously more dignified than just now.

"However, the attacking forces suffered considerable losses in the process of retreating and gathering."

"The Eighth Route Army, the guerrillas, who are active in this area, are attacking us like crazy."

"There are all the combat tricks we can think of and have seen. There are also tricks that we can't think of and that we've never encountered before. ”

"In two days, more than 2,000 attacking troops were killed, of which the imperial army accounted for almost half."

"At present, there are more than 3,800 troops gathered in Tianwang Town, including more than 2,500 imperial troops and more than 1,300 imperial troops."

"There are more than 4,200 garrisons in Dashangang, including more than 2,800 imperial troops and 1,400 imperial joint troops."

"There are more than 4,100 garrisons in Wanshan Town, including 3,000 imperial troops and 1,100 imperial allegiated troops."

"The reserve has a main force brigade, a supplementary brigade, a heavy artillery brigade, a chariot brigade, a baggage unit that cooperates with the operation, and a guard unit, a total of nearly 4,000 imperial troops, and they are all in place."

"All of them combined, we still have sixteen,000 people to participate in the next battle, and more than half of the imperial army is fighting. The Imperial Concordia army consisted of less than 4,000 men. ”

A look of solemnity flashed across Nakatayama's face, but he quickly reacted.

He lost the first round with the garrison, but the battle was not over.

The main force of the independent mixed brigade is still there, and the two killer weapons are useless, and they can also launch a new round of attack, regain the face lost on the battlefield, and take revenge.

Thinking of this, Nakata Shan Lang immediately became murderous, and his whole person was shrouded in killing intent.

Staring at the sand table, he began to give an order: "I have decided that the troops will rest for a day, and at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, they will attack the garrison again." ”

"All participating troops must be ready for battle, the logistics department will prepare all the materials needed by all the participating troops on the front line in one day, and we will start attacking as soon as dawn, sweeping through this occupied area, and killing all the Eighth Route Army inside."

"In the whole battle, no matter who has a problem, it will be done by military law. We can only win this battle, not lose it. ”

The general's majesty is vividly demonstrated here.

Because of this threat, the atmosphere in the command suddenly became depressing.

More than a dozen staff officers, large and small, all looked serious, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

"Report, the garrison of the front stronghold is in an emergency!"

The communications staff officer guarding the telecommunications room did not know all this, and rushed in.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

It was only then that he realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the command, and if he wanted to withdraw, it was obviously impossible, so he could only continue to report.

"All three of our strongholds in the garrison base area have lost contact."

"Aviation reconnaissance found that the stronghold was already empty, and it was likely that it had been captured by the garrison."

"Five positions on the blockade line have also been attacked, two have now lost contact, two positions are under attack, and one position has not yet been attacked."

"After the aviation troops arrived at the battlefield, all the Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold disappeared."

"As soon as the aviation left, they came out again to attack the stronghold, putting huge pressure on the defenders and suffering heavy casualties."

The chief of staff immediately reminded: "General, according to your previous analysis, after the Eighth Route Army takes those strongholds, it will definitely fight all the way to our occupied area, support the remaining Eighth Route Army in the occupied area, and fight us." ”

"In this way, the pressure on our next operations will definitely be much greater."

Nakata Shanlang replied with a murderous face: "As long as the Eighth Route Army is all exposed, there will be no ambushes." I'm not afraid of doubling their troops. ”

"Don't forget, we still have a hand heavy artillery brigade and a tank brigade that have been useless."

"If you let them participate in the battle, even if the Eighth Route Army comes to a division, I can bomb them to slag."

"Order the remaining strongholds to garrison, and be sure to hold out to the last soldier."

"The intelligence services have moved to kill these troops."

"They ate our eleven mobile units in one night, and then fought continuously, and even took down our heavily defended strongholds, which shows that their combat effectiveness must be very strong."

"Such a force is a great threat wherever it appears."

"I don't want them to repeat their old tricks, and suddenly appear on the battlefield and catch us off guard."

In front of the enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, Li Hao stood at the door looking forward to something.

"Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap......"

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and at the end of the road first dozens of cavalry appeared, and then hundreds of cavalry, like a torrent of steel, rushed towards the regimental headquarters under the cover of dust.

"Commander, it's the cavalry battalion, they're coming." The third battalion commander Huang Sheng shouted with light in his eyes.

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Not only the cavalry battalion, but also the mobile battalion that the regiment headquarters has just formed. ”

"The cavalry battalion is fast, and the front is definitely them. If I'm not mistaken, there are cavalry behind, which are mobile battalions, and the war horses are only for them. ”

The dozens of cavalry at the front rushed all the way to a distance of more than 20 meters from the headquarters before stopping, turned over and fell off their horses, and hurriedly ran over to this side.

Hong Linfeng, chief of staff of the garrison regiment, walked to the front.

When he saw Li Hao, he saluted, and reported excitedly: "Hello head of the regiment, I finally see you again." ”

"Without you in charge, I don't have any confidence in the base area."

Li Hao replied with a military salute and replied with satisfaction: "You fought very well in the base area, and the results greatly exceeded my expectations, especially the one that raided the Japanese puppet army's attack troops, and ate all the Japanese puppet troops in one night, which was too beautiful." ”

"If there was no such battle, we would definitely still be fighting hard in the guerrilla zone with the little devils in an independent mixed brigade and fighting for attrition."

"How about it, I asked you to bring the cavalry battalion and the motorized battalion!"

Hong Linfeng hurriedly replied: "I brought them all." ”

"The cavalry battalion is fast, right behind me. The mobile battalion is a little slower, but it will definitely be in place in two hours. ”

"It's good to be here." Li Hao was happy to answer, and a confident smile was evident on his face.

Then he ordered: "Battalion Commander Huang, you immediately arrange a garrison for the cavalry battalion and the mobile battalion, so that they can eat well and rest well." ”

"Then prepare half a month's ration for five hundred people, five days of emergency dry food, and five hundred war horses for twenty days, I will use it."
