Nakasa Yamaguchi is too ruthless, and very powerful.

Let the Imperial Allied Army do the task of sending them to death as cannon fodder, and by the way, they can also consume some of the strength of the garrison regiment.

The Japanese army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, stayed behind to fight street battles, dragged the garrison regiment in Lingqiu City, and waited for reinforcements to arrive, gathering and annihilating them.

This battle plan was perfect, and if it ran into other Chinese armies, or other Eighth Route Army, Yamaguchi Nakasa would win.

However, when it comes to the garrison, the result is different.

This does not mean how strong the garrison regiment is and how well-equipped it is, but because Lingqiu City is the territory of the garrison regiment, and it has been operating the base camp for two or three years, and they are more familiar with the terrain inside than the little devils who have just arrived.

In a street battle, in addition to testing a unit's combat effectiveness and will to fight, there is also a decisive factor that determines victory or defeat, that is, the degree of familiarity with the battlefield of street fighting.

Yamaguchi Nakasa thought of everything, but missed this point.

In Laiyuan City, the brigade commander was woken up in his sleep.

Originally, he was angry, but when he heard that the main force of the garrison group appeared and was attacking Lingqiu City, the fire was all gone, and he rushed to the war room with his eyes shining directly.

"General, these are two telegrams from Nakasa Yamaguchi." The chief of staff picked up two telegrams and introduced.

"One informed us of the battlefield situation, hoping that reinforcements would attack immediately and block the garrison in Lingqiu, so as not to give them a chance to break through and flee for their lives."

"One is to report to us on their latest combat plan."

"Let the Imperial Cooperative Army defend the city for the first three hours, and then let the garrison regiment enter the city, and use the remaining Imperial Army and the garrison regiment to fight in the streets and drag them down."

"Yo Xi!" The brigade commander nodded in satisfaction.

Then he opened his mouth and ordered: "Send a telegram back to Yamaguchi-kun: I completely agree with their battle plan. Reinforcements set off immediately, and if it went well, they arrived at Lingqiu in five hours. ”

Then he looked at the chief of staff and asked, "Are the reinforcements ready?"

"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded in reply.

"The chariot squadron, the cavalry brigade, and the two infantry brigades have been assembled and ready to go."

"Because the siege of the Eighth Route Army is equipped with heavy artillery, he is the master of his own duties and orders the heavy artillery brigade to assemble and stand by, and if the general agrees, they can also set off together."

"Agreed, all reinforcements will leave now." The brigade commander did not hesitate.

"Chief of Staff, you personally lead the team, you must seize this opportunity to reunite the garrison and annihilate it in Lingqiu City."

"Boom ......"

The cavalry brigade was the first to kill Laiyuan City, and more than 500 cavalry, like a torrent, swept along the road towards Lingqiu City.

Just after running two kilometers along the road, the last cavalry squad suddenly broke away from the team and quickly spread out in a vigilant formation, with the horse rifle in hand, the machine gunner jumped off his horse and rushed to the high ground next to the road, and the machine gun was mounted on the ground......

Everyone stared around with a wary look on their faces.

The main force of the cavalry brigade continued to advance, and after going forward for two kilometers, another cavalry squad was left to guard the road......

It was only at this time that the infantry, tanks, chariots, and heavy artillery towed by the car of the Japanese brigade slowly drove out of Laiyuan City and marched rapidly in the direction of Lingqiu along the road that the cavalry brigade had just walked.

After arriving at the position of the first cavalry squad left by the cavalry brigade, this cavalry squad quickly assembled, and then rode on war horses to pursue the main force of the brigade, continuing to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the road.

Outside Lingqiu City, the attack of the garrison regiment has lasted for almost two hours.

Under the combined shelling of heavy artillery and medium mortars, two large gaps in the southern wall of the city have been blasted out of the city wall with a width of more than 20 meters.

The eastern wall of the city was also bombed to the brink, and could collapse at any time.

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

The cannon roared again, this time accompanied by the sound of the city wall collapsing.

After less than two minutes, a messenger hurriedly ran over: "Regiment commander, chief of staff, a thirty-meter-long gap has been blasted open in the east of the city, and the three battalions and one company have occupied the gap and are attacking both sides of the gap, expanding the breakthrough and covering the troops to enter the city." ”

"Report to the regiment leader, the second battalion has entered Lingqiu City!" The leader of the communications squad of the second battalion personally rushed over and reported.

"Commander, we won this battle!" Hong Linfeng shouted, looking excited.

In his opinion, the destruction of the city means that the battle is nearing its end.

The battle of the city defense just now was so fierce that more than 300 shells were fired out of light and heavy artillery, and even if the troops of the Japanese puppet army stationed at the head of the city were not completely annihilated, there was not much left.

As long as the troops rush into the city, they will definitely be able to destroy them like autumn wind, and the battle will be quickly resolved, and the battle will be quickly ended.

The serious expression on Li Hao's face also slowly relaxed, and he smiled silently.

His ideas coincided with those of the chief of staff.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is very strong, in the face of heavy artillery, no matter how strong its combat effectiveness is, it is empty and vulnerable.

As long as the Japanese puppet army was indeed holding the city just now, after such a heavy shelling, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

After the garrison group entered Lingqiu City, all they needed to do was to deal with the remnants of the enemy and end the battle quickly.

Just when everyone was getting more and more excited about it, Zhou Liang, the commander of the communications platoon, suddenly rushed from behind them and interrupted the two dreams.

"The regiment commander, the chief of staff, the reconnaissance company is in an emergency, Laiyuan City has dispatched a large number of Japanese troops to reinforce Lingqiu, and they are on the way to kill, and the marching speed is very fast."

"There is a cavalry brigade, a tank squadron, two infantry brigades, a heavy artillery brigade."

"The cavalry brigade goes first, leaving a large number of cavalry along the way to protect the road and not give us the opportunity to destroy the road."

"According to the current marching speed of the Japanese army, there will be four hours at most to reach the outside of Lingqiu City."

Hong Linfeng's stretched brows immediately twisted, and he analyzed very seriously: "Regiment Commander, these reinforcements must have been prepared in advance. ”

"There are more than 3,000 infantry, cavalry and artillery, and if you assemble temporarily, it will definitely not be so fast."

"I judge that these reinforcements are the conspiracy of the little devils hiding behind them."

"Attract us to attack Lingqiu by showing weakness, lure the snake out of the hole, and then send heavy troops to reinforce Lingqiu, and gather us in Lingqiu City."

"However, the little devil obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of our garrison regiment, especially the ability to attack fortifications."

"At the current speed of attack, before the little devil reinforcements come over, our battle here will be over."

Li Hao nodded, very much agreed with Hong Linfeng's analysis, and then began to give orders: "Chief of Staff, order the second battalion, the third battalion, and the independent battalion to continue to strengthen the offensive, strive to end the battle within two hours, and then retreat, so that the little devil reinforcements will be empty." ”

"Order the special service battalion, mobile battalion, and cavalry battalion to set off now and find favorable terrain five kilometers northeast of Lingqiu City to establish a blocking position."

"If there is an accident in Lingqiu City, you can't fight quickly, and the blocking position must block the little devil's reinforcements for half an hour, so as to buy time for the attacking troops to retreat."
