Chapter 971 - Tricked (First Update!) )

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff officer rushed over panting: "Sir, the South Gate garrison reports that they have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army from front to back. ”

"The Eighth Route Army in the city attacked first, and the troops outside the city attacked later, and they were armed with a large number of mortars and mountain artillery, as well as several infantry guns."

"Our artillery units were locked by them before they had time to enter the battle, and in less than a minute the artillery raid suffered heavy losses and lost its combat effectiveness."

Before Takahashi could come to his senses, another staff officer rushed over.

Panting heavily, he interrupted: "Sir, a large number of Eighth Route Corps emerged behind the garrison in the west of the city, well-equipped, as well as a large number of artillery and cavalry, and the troops were taken by surprise and suffered heavy casualties, requesting reinforcements. ”

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" Takahashi exclaimed with a shocked face.

"Where did the Eighth Route Army that appeared behind the two forces come from?"

"According to intelligence, the garrison regiment only has seven main battalions, and the other three offensive forces each have one main battalion, and we only have four main battalions at most here, and they are not yet in strength, especially the two battalions that have fought with us, and the absolute casualties are more than half."

"The more than 400 imperial troops we entered Laiyuan City were completely wiped out in just ten minutes, which shows that these troops are hiding in Laiyuan City. Where did these troops outside the city come from, does the garrison really have the ability to scatter beans into soldiers? ”

"Or in order to kill us, the garrison regiment also transferred the Eighth Route Army, which was blocking the other three attacking forces?"

"It's almost impossible, according to the enemy's report: those Eighth Route Army are still active around them during the day, attacking them. There are dozens of kilometers in between, and even if they have wings, it is impossible for them to rush here in such a short time and attack us. ”

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and replied: "Sir, it's definitely not the three main battalions. ”

"The garrison regiment has made it clear that it wants to annihilate us through various breakdowns, and since it wants to fight our annihilation war, it must be blocked by troops."

"If the garrison concentrates all its troops here to attack us, the reinforcements from the two directions that have come over in a hurry will be in a no-man's land because there are no troops to intercept them, and they will rush here in the shortest possible time to relieve us of the siege."

"When the time comes, not only will they not be able to annihilate us completely, but they will also be counter-surrounded by our reinforcements."

"So judging from our humble duties, there are not too many Eighth Route Army troops in Laiyuan City, and we have been fooled."

Takahashi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his face became whiter and whiter.

The chief of staff's analysis, he could not think of a single reason to refute it.

This shows that his judgment is right, and he was once again tricked by the garrison.

Seeing that the wing commander didn't speak, the chief of staff thought that he didn't believe his analysis, and continued to add: "The main force of the garrison regiment is hiding in Laiyuan City, this is just our judgment, based on their powerful heavy machine gun fire and the strength to destroy more than 400 imperial troops in a short time, and we don't really see these troops. ”

"There's a way for us to miscalculate."

"Send a small number of troops into Laiyuan City, but give them a lot of heavy machine guns."

"As long as these firing points are properly arranged, coupled with the powerful assault capability of the air defense battalion, it is completely possible to wipe out more than 400 of our imperial troops in a short period of time."

"Eight Grid Tooth Road ......"

Takahashi Daisa also reacted and replied with a calm face: "I understand, this matter is a big conspiracy from beginning to end." ”

"The garrison regiment arranged for a small number of troops to hide in Laiyuan City, equipping them with a large number of heavy machine guns, so that we mistakenly thought that these troops were all the mobile troops that the garrison regiment could use, and then divided the troops to surround Laiyuan City and give them each chance to defeat us."

"As soon as the troops are divided, their real main force will emerge, and with the cooperation of the lurking troops in the city, they will flank us in front and rear."

"What a careful plan, such a cunning garrison, directly played me around...... Bang......"

In the end, the angry Takahashi smashed directly into the ammo box next to him.

Then he stared at his subordinates and shouted: "However, even if their treacherous plan succeeds, don't want to annihilate the Takahashi Wing here." ”

"Since there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army in the city, then there is no need for us to guard the city gate anymore."

"Immediately contact the troops in the south and west of the city and ask them if they have a chance to break through."

"If so, break through to me immediately."

"If not, just stick to it."

"Order the garrison in the east of the city to retreat immediately, leave the fire range of the anti-aircraft machine guns of the Eighth Route Army in the city, and then wait for my order."

"The garrison north of the city, that is, the troops in front of us, draw a reinforced squadron out, and form a mobile force together with the tank squadron to reinforce the battlefield at any time."

"The heavy artillery brigade is ready for battle, providing artillery support to the infantry at any time, and taking out the Eighth Route Army attacking us."

"Contact reinforcements and get them up to speed."

"The battle has begun, we will hold the garrison at any cost, and when they come over, we will encircle and annihilate them together."

Xiao Li Zhuang garrison regiment headquarters, reconnaissance company commander Chen Wei appeared in front of Li Hao again, although he was very tired, his mouth was constantly panting, but his face was very excited, obviously bringing good news.

"Regiment commander, the tanks that stayed with the heavy artillery brigade have moved, all the tanks have been gathered together, and a reinforced squadron has come over."

"All twelve heavy guns of the heavy artillery brigade were erected, and the gunners were on standby, as if they were ready to take part in the battle."

Zhou Liang, the commander of the communications platoon, suddenly rushed in: "Regiment commander, the Japanese puppet army in the east of the city has also moved." ”

"Retreat to a kilometer away from the city wall and stand by, and ask for instructions from the mobile battalion and air defense battalion harassing them, whether to kill them."

As soon as the telegram was handed to Li Hao, his subordinates sent Zhou Liang a new telegram.

"It's the chief of staff's telegram." Zhou Liang followed the report.

"The little devils in the south of the city wanted to break through, but they blocked it back with firepower, and the attack is currently going well."

Li Hao snorted coldly and replied, "The little devil has already seen our battle plan. ”

"I want to break through, regroup my troops, and hold on for reinforcements."

"But it's only now that I've reacted, it's obviously too late."

Li Hao's face became more and more serious, and then he began to give orders.

"Contact the chief of staff and the commander of the third battalion, Huang Sheng: The troops must speed up the pace of the attack, and the battle must be ended within two hours, and the Japanese puppet army in the south and west of the city must be completely annihilated, and then reinforce the east of the city and gather and annihilate the Japanese puppet army there?"

"Tell them that as long as they can wipe out all the little devils, I will replenish as much ammunition as they want."

"Order to monitor the mobile battalion, air defense battalion, and cavalry battalion of the Japanese puppet army in the east of the city, and if the Japanese puppet army does not move, they will not move, and if the Japanese puppet army moves, they will be resolutely dragged down."

"We must also be prepared for battle: I judge that the chariot squadron and the reinforced squadron that the devils have completed their assembly will march in a hurry to reinforce the Japanese puppet army west of the city and relieve them of the siege."

"Chen Wei, you start acting now, bring the flying thunder artillery platoon, and drag them halfway for me, neither to reinforce the west of the city, nor to return to the reinforcements."

"The heavy artillery battalion aimed at the Japanese heavy artillery positions, and according to my order, fired a two-minute artillery attack with the fastest rate of fire. Then the target was shifted and a five-minute artillery attack was launched on the Japanese puppet army assembly area in the north of the city, blowing up the little devils there and making them unable to form a combat force. ”

"The four or five companies of the cavalry battalion are ready for battle and raid the Japanese heavy artillery positions."

"After the shelling began, it took two minutes to approach the Japanese army's heavy artillery position, and as soon as the shelling stopped, it immediately assaulted, and used the shortest time to enter the position, kill the remnants of the Japanese puppet army, and not give them a chance to react."

"After completing the mission, leave one company to protect the heavy artillery position, and the remaining company will continue to fight and assault the Japanese puppet army assembly area north of the city."

"The second and third companies of the guard battalion, under the cover of the heavy artillery battalion, attacked the assembly area of the Japanese puppet army in the north of the city, two infantry companies, one cavalry company, and one heavy artillery battalion, and tried to kill them."
