After Hong Yuanshu took the sample car to the regiment headquarters, he built twenty armed cars in one go, and then the armored company had its current scale.

Just received the order, the armor company secretly rushed to Pingshui Town with all the equipment to hide and wait.

A small basin surrounded by five hills, more than five kilometers deep and two kilometers wide, the only way for the Japanese army to withdraw from the base area crossed it.

Li Hao, Regiment Commander Zhou, and Hong Linfeng were one step ahead and arrived here a whole day faster than the main force.

After observing the terrain, Commander Zhou became excited, looked at Li Hao and said happily: "Commander Li, the terrain here is so good, it is simply a natural ambush battlefield. ”

"It's like a cauldron, as long as the Japanese puppet army enters this cauldron, it will definitely be impossible to escape."

Hong Linfeng agreed: "Commander, I completely agree with Commander Zhou's opinion, this is indeed a natural ambush battlefield. ”

"To fight an ambush here, as long as we divide our troops and lurk near a few hills, mortars, mountain artillery, all set up on several hills, and attack the enemy from a high position."

"After the Japanese puppet army came in, they sent special troops to intercept them and block them in this cauldron, and the latent troops attacked simultaneously from all directions to narrow the encirclement, plus the artillery we prepared in advance, they will definitely be defeated."

Li Hao pointed to the two small highlands located in the cauldron not far away and reminded, "Do you see them?" ”

"With the combat style of the devils, after being besieged, they will definitely send troops to occupy them as soon as possible, and they can be attacked and defended, so the key to whether we can encircle and annihilate them is these two highlands."

Commander Zhou immediately remembered the picture of more than 80 artillery pieces firing together the night before.

His eyes lit up and he replied, "We can use cannons." ”

"As the night before, calculate in advance the shooting crews for the shelling of the high ground."

"If there are devils occupying these two heights, immediately draw artillery to blow them up."

"What we have is cannonballs and devils to fight for consumption, if 500 rounds are not enough, use 1,000 rounds, and if it is not enough, use 2,000 rounds, see who can consume whom!"

"You can!" Li Hao did not deny it.

Then he said: "But the effect is definitely not as good as the night before." ”

"In order to stabilize the devils and let them sweep the troops in the middle of the road to march and kill them, they must not be so ruthless at the beginning."

"If we kill the Japanese puppet army in the pocket array in two or three hours, the Japanese puppet army from Guangling will stop reinforcing here, and then evacuate our base by the same route."

Commander Zhou reacted immediately, stared at a pair of big eyes, and asked rhetorically with an incredulous face: "Commander Li, do you mean that we are going to deliberately leave time for the Japanese puppet army to establish a defensive line on the two heights?" ”

Li Hao immediately agreed: "That's what it means." ”

"Let the Japanese puppet army see the hope that they can survive, they will continue to call for reinforcements, forcing the Japanese puppet army in the direction of Guangling to march hurriedly to kill, and we are lurking in the heavy artillery battalion, armored company, and cavalry battalion in Pingshui Town, so that we have a chance to inflict heavy damage on them."

Head Zhou's gaze at Li Hao was full of admiration.

He thought too well and thought about all possible surprises.

If you are a Japanese commander, there is a more than ninety percent chance of being deceived.

But in this way, the pressure on the troops to capture the two hills will be greatly increased.

It is not clear that the Japanese puppet army will rely on the two hills to gather heavy troops to break through and fight out of the pocket formation.

If that's the case, everyone will be busy for the past few days.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, racking his brains to think of a solution.

Li Hao suddenly spoke: "Chief of Staff, there is a way to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese puppet army on the two highlands in an instant, even if they dig trenches on the highlands. ”

"After the troops are in place, you personally arrange for the engineer company to bury explosives packs on two high grounds, at least three meters deep."

"Just bury one spot and bury all the explosives we brought."

"After the troops began their counteroffensive, they gathered all the mountain artillery and heavy mortars and bombarded the two heights."

"With the caliber of these artillery, continuous shelling, it should be easy to blow up a large crater of two or three meters on the high ground."

"After successfully detonating the explosive pack, even if the devils are hiding in the trenches, they will not escape death."

"If you are lucky, you will be injured by a shock and temporarily lose your combat effectiveness."

"As for the breakout you were worried about just now, I'm not worried at all."

"Before the ambush began, all heavy machine gun units attacked with their units, each company with at least three 81 mm mortars, three heavy machine guns, and ten light machine guns."

"If the devils dare to break through, they will greet them with shells and bullets to see if they are powerful in flesh and blood, or if we are powerful in bullets and shells."

"Large-caliber mortars, mountain artillery, all erected on the high ground, condescending to fight devils."

"But without my order, none of these artillery can participate in the battle, I'm afraid that I will scare the devils in the pocket array and affect the reinforcements coming from Guangling."

The commander of the Japanese army headquarters in Taiyuan, the lieutenant general, did not know that his old opponent had already begun to prepare for the next counteroffensive.

At this moment, he had not even received the news that the logistics base had been captured by the garrison.

Although the main forces of the garrison regiment and the independent regiment left the county seat, the local troops and guerrillas operating in Huaiyuan did not withdraw.

The words "shotguns for guns" can definitely be used to describe their current strength.

A few days ago, it was thankful that each partisan detachment had one machine gun.

The rifles are also old-fashioned singles, old sleeves with the rifling smoothed......

Even so, half of the guerrillas were not equipped and had to fight the devils with shotguns, broadswords, and red tassels.

Now each person is equipped with a new 38 canopy, 100 rounds of ammunition, and three grenades, and each infantry squad is also equipped with a light machine gun, and each guerrilla unit is also equipped with a fire platoon, equipped with two mortars and two heavy machine guns.

The number of troops was also doubled.

They are all local snakes in Huaiyuan, familiar with the way, whether they are strangers can tell at a glance.

Most of the intelligence officers and scouts sent by the Japanese army to Huaiyuan were targeted by the guerrillas within half a day of entering Huaiyuan, and they were either killed or captured, and there were only a handful of devils who could touch the county seat.

It wasn't until six o'clock the next afternoon that a scout sent out the information he had seen and heard.

In the telecommunications room of the headquarters, the deputy chief of staff panicked when he saw the content of the telegram, walked into the headquarters quickly, and reported in a heavy tone: "Army commander, there is news from the logistics base. ”

"We were deceived, all the imperial troops in Huaiyuan City died, and the guns and cannons heard by the aviation troops were all fake, and it was the Eighth Route Army that directed and acted to confuse us."

The army commander had expected this result a long time ago, his face sank, and he stared at the deputy chief of staff and asked.

"What about the reinforcements in Zhangjiakou in the past?"

"They have more than 2,000 people, and a cavalry force of 500 people, and they can break through even if they are attacked?"

"The Eighth Route Army in Huaiyuan has that little strength, how can it attack the county town and send reinforcements, I don't believe that the reinforcements of more than 2,000 people have also been eaten."
