"Order: Independent Battalion, Special Service Battalion, Artillery Battalion, concentrate all firepower to attack Lingqiu City from the northwest side!"

"There is only one requirement: the casualties of the troops must be controlled!"

"I don't ask them to enter Lingqiu City tonight, it's too unrealistic!"

"As long as I can kill as many little devils as possible with minimal casualties, I will count them to complete the mission!"

"But we must remember the operational principle of our garrison regiment: the enemy on the battlefield that can be solved with artillery shells will never use bullets, and the enemy that can be solved with bullets will never use bayonets! The artillery and light and heavy machine guns assigned to them by the regimental headquarters are used to kill devils, not for decoration! ”

"Also, order the chief of staff to come here immediately, and the first company of guards will establish a former enemy headquarters here!"

"I have a hunch that the little devil took the initiative to withdraw his troops this time, and it must not be as simple as we imagined!"

"There must be some big conspiracy brewing behind it, maybe there will be another vicious battle waiting for us next!"

After Li Hao's series of orders were issued, the whole person completely calmed down, and then shifted his gaze to the map that the guards had just unfolded, and fell back into deep thought!

Hong Linfeng hurried up, and it only took less than twenty minutes to rush from the west of the city to the north of the city!

When he saw Li Hao, he hurriedly asked: "Commander, what the hell is the little devil doing, why do you all retreat as a shrinking turtle!" ”

Li Hao didn't hide it, and directly handed over the few telegrams he had just received, and then replied: "It's not just us here." Hunyuan, Guangling, and Laiyuan's little devils have all withdrawn, and they are concentrating their forces to defend the county! ”

"No, there must be something wrong here!" Hong Linfeng's brows furrowed at that time!

"Judging from the telegram, even if the troops withdrawn by the devils from the strongholds in the three counties are not two thousand, it is not much worse!"

"With so many troops, even if the little devils are afraid of guarding different strongholds, they will be broken by each of us! They can also concentrate their troops, find a suitable battlefield, and fight a decisive battle with us, there is no need to retreat on all fronts, and if they don't fight, they will give us all the villages and towns in the three counties except for the county seat! ”

"This is more than 200,000 people, we have developed well, and there is no problem at all in raising an army of 10,000 people!"

"They don't worry about us occupying these places, and then we will expand our troops on a large scale, and finally form a situation where we can't get rid of it! When the time comes, if they want to destroy us, the price they will pay will not be one or two thousand people who have withdrawn tonight, but four or five thousand, or even tens of thousands! ”

Li Hao looked at Hong Linfeng pouring beans into a bamboo tube and said his inner thoughts, although he didn't respond, his heart was already happy!

Hong Linfeng's progress is too great, and he can see so many problems from a few telegrams at a glance, which shows that he is already capable of being fully qualified for the post of chief of staff, and has his own ideas and opinions in the face of problems, and even directly raises questions!

And it's not like before, what you say is what you say, blindly obey orders, and don't have a little bit of your own opinions!

Hong Linfeng didn't know Li Hao's inner thoughts!

Seeing Li Hao looking at himself calmly, but he didn't speak, Hong Linfeng was anxious at that time, and asked very weakly: "Commander, did I say something wrong!" ”

Li Hao hurriedly replied: "No, your analysis is very correct, it is the same as my thoughts!" ”

"I also think that the devil's initiative to withdraw is not as simple as it seems, there must be a conspiracy!"

"However, we have too little reference information in our hands, and until now, I have not thought of what this conspiracy is?"

"My idea is, leave it alone for now!"

"If there is really any conspiracy at that time, it will be a big deal for the soldiers to block the water and cover the earth!"

"When we were defending Lingqiu, we survived such a bad situation!"

"Now the garrison regiment wants guns and guns, and there are enough ammunition, and now there are more than 200,000 people in the three counties to support it, and the strength can definitely be called a surge!"

"So no matter what conspiracy is brewing behind the little devil, I believe that the garrison group will be able to survive in the end, and then turn evil into good fortune, and use those conspiracy as stepping stones for the garrison to continue to grow and develop!"

Li Hao's words are undoubtedly a tranquilizer!

The hidden worry on Hong Linfeng's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he immediately shouted: "Commander, you're right!" As long as our garrison is strong enough, no matter what conspiracy the devils make, we are not afraid. ”

"I suggest that the three main battalions be ordered immediately to continue to operate according to the original battle plan!"

"Since the little devil took the initiative to give us the three counties, then we will swallow it in one bite and not waste the little devil's kindness"

Li Hao no longer hesitated, and his face quickly returned to seriousness!

"Order: The three main battalions quickly divide their troops, occupy all the villages and towns abandoned by the little devils in the three counties, and win the hearts of the people by cracking down on traitor spies, dividing land, reducing rent and interest! Then, cooperate with the local cadres to quickly form base areas, establish local guerrilla units, district squads, and county brigades, and give them the task of protecting the localities, and vacate the main forces! ”

"Let's continue to attack Lingqiu City!"

"Strive to kill the little devils inside in one more night tomorrow!"

"In this way, we will have two more battalions of mobile troops in our hands, plus a reinforced mountain artillery battalion, even if the little devil really has a conspiracy, we are not afraid!"

Aoki Osa is very powerful!

In the face of the superior artillery fire of the garrison regiment, it was decisively decided to abandon the city fortifications, avoid the artillery fire, and fight street battles with the garrison regiment, which consumed a large number of garrison regiment troops, until the garrison regiment took the initiative to give up the attack because it could not bear the casualties!

At five o'clock in the morning, although the special battalion and the independent battalion successfully occupied the city, they also lost the ability to continue the attack!

The casualties of the troops were too great, and after entering the city, the cold guns and cold cannons fired by the devils, and the grenades thrown from nowhere, were never broken!

The two battalions attacked twice before and after, and finally returned with a feather, and they also left a large number of corpses in the city, and suffered heavy casualties!

There is no doubt that Aoki Daisa's tactical tactics have been used correctly!

After hearing the good news that the garrison had retreated to the city again, Aoki Daisa's serious face finally showed a long-lost smile, and he happily ordered: "Order our troops, just fight like this!" ”

"In just three or four hours, we killed more than 200 Eighth Route Army, and the wounded have not been counted! At this rate of attrition, by tomorrow night at the latest, the little devils who attacked us will suffer more than half of the casualties, and then they will have to retreat! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the kind of play used by the garrison group to defend Lingqiu City last time!"

"Through street fighting, a large amount of our troops were consumed, even if the attacking troops entered Lingqiu City, they were finally forced out because the casualties of the troops were too large!"

"We're going to give the garrison a-for-tat today?"

"Defeat them in turn with the street fights they once defeated us!"

"Sir, wise!" The adjutant hurriedly complimented, with a smile on his face!

He didn't expect the tide of battle to turn around so quickly!

In the first half of the night, the initiative on the battlefield was still in the hands of the garrison regiment, and the troops could only defend Lingqiu and be beaten passively!

Almost all the bad news I heard at the command center!

In the second half of the night, the troops withdrew into Lingqiu City, took the initiative to abandon the stronghold outside the city, and then used Dazuo's tactical tactics, and the initiative on the battlefield changed hands all of a sudden!

And the battle situation began to develop step by step in favor of the Imperial Army!

The huge gap made the adjutant sigh from the bottom of his heart that Aoki's means were superb!

Suddenly, the communications staff officer rushed in!

With an excited face, he reported: "Sir, the military department is in an emergency!" ”

"Tomorrow at dawn, there will be troops escorted by planes and cavalry to reinforce us, and we will arrive at about three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, let us send troops to meet and enter Lingqiu City!"

Aoki Osa took the telegram and read it, and the more he looked at it, the stronger the smile on his face!

Then I couldn't help but shout: "Haha, God is really helping us!" ”

"With this reinforcement, we will not only have to repel the garrisons attacking us, but also inflict heavy losses on them, and it is possible to annihilate them all!"

The adjutant stared at a pair of big eyes and asked, "Sir, what reinforcements, so powerful!" ”

"An artillery unit, and heavy artillery!" Aoki Daisa didn't hide it, and he spoke with a smile on his face

"The heavy artillery units that the Front promised to support us already have a heavy mortar brigade in place!"

"The military headquarters directly divided a squadron of heavy mortars, a total of twelve 120-mm large-caliber mortars, escorted by a cavalry brigade, and now it has set off!"

"After dawn, our aviation reinforcements will also participate in the escort, and we will ensure that we will be sent to Lingqiu City before dark today!"

"With these twelve large-caliber mortars, we are not afraid of the secret weapons equipped by the garrison regiment!"

"As long as you dare to show your head, you are guaranteed to blow them up into scrap metal!"

The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment outside Lingqiu City, Li Hao frowned, staring at the city defense map for half an hour without speaking!

The devil guarded Lingqiu and fought in the streets of the city, which Li Hao did not expect!

For the attacker, the losses that need to be borne in the street battle can definitely be described as heavy!

If the garrison has an absolute superiority in strength, it may be able to withstand it!

The key problem is that the garrison regiment does not have it!

The special battalion plus the independent battalion, minus the casualties, there are less than 1,500 people left!

And the remaining little devils in Lingqiu City are definitely more than this number, and they are fighting in the streets, and they are not opponents when they are all exhausted!

Hong Linfeng obviously thought of this question as well, and said directly: "Regiment leader, you can't fight anymore!" ”

"The devil is well-trained, well-equipped, has plenty of ammunition, and has a strength advantage! Our troops have no advantage at all, and in street battles with them, the casualties are too great, and they can't take any advantage at all! ”

"The direct losses of the two battalions have exceeded one company, and if the offensive continues, it is possible for the troops to fight out!"

"In addition, there are many civilians in the city, in order to avoid accidental injury, the troops have not dared to use mountain artillery and infantry artillery, and even mortars are rarely used!"

"It's timid to fight, and it's not a little devil's opponent!"

Li Hao glanced at his watch before he spoke: "Then stop fighting for the time being!" ”

"There is still more than an hour before dawn, and as soon as the devil plane arrives, the city we occupy will definitely become a key bombing target!"

"I don't want the soldiers to die in the hands of the little devils, and finally be killed by aerial bombs, I don't know if it's not clear, it's a loss!"

"Order the troops to withdraw now, and exit the battlefield immediately!"

"Take away all the things that can be taken away, and blow up what you can't take away, and you must not leave it to the little devil!"

"After dark, we'll find a way to continue attacking Lingqiu City!"
