At half past six in the morning, the fighting in the city continued.

The attacking troops advanced little by little, constantly compressing the living space of the Japanese puppet army, without the slightest intention of retreating.

The only change is that the main offensive force on the battlefield has changed from a garrison regiment to a unit sent by the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi, the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment.

Of course, the remaining Japanese puppet army in the city was unaware of this subtle change.

Everyone is waiting for a critical moment to come, and it is related to whether it is possible for everyone to hold Datong City and exit the battle alive.

The forward position of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, the Datong Independent Battalion took over the forward position half an hour ago, except for the guard post, all the other soldiers squatted in the trenches, holding their guns and closing their eyes to recuperate.

"Didi ......"

The siren whistle suddenly sounded in the position, and the guard quickly retracted his head from outside the trench and shouted nervously at his comrades.

"The devils are dispatched, everyone is ready for battle."

The warrior who was closing his eyes and recuperating seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood suddenly, and his fighting spirit instantly became high.

Lying on the edge of the trench, slowly poking out his head to observe the enemy's situation, rifles, light machine guns, very carefully sticking out of the trenches, slowly turning the barrel of the gun, and putting the enemy in the crosshairs......

"It's the enemy who is testing the troops, there is only one platoon of puppet troops, there are no devils!" The company commander made a judgment at a glance.

Then I had a specific operational idea in my head: "Put them forty meters in front of the formation and then shoot, don't move all the light and heavy machine guns, and use rifles to call them one by one, so that the little devils can't figure out our reality and reality." ”

The Japanese army attacked the position, with a command knife on his waist, and the devil with the rank of Dazuo on his shoulder was staring at the battlefield.

He wanted to find out through the tentative attack in front of him whether the garrison base area was really empty.

"Horn ......"

The familiar sound of gunfire finally rang out, and the thirty puppet troops, like targets, were knocked down one by one, and the whole army was wiped out in less than half a minute.

Dazuo's brows furrowed instantly, there were only rifles fired just now, less than a hundred in total, which was not enough to judge the real situation of the opponent by himself, let alone figure out the reality of the garrison regiment's base area.

It means that the puppet army that was dispatched just now all died in vain, and they didn't bring anything useful to themselves.

With a long sigh, he reluctantly ordered: "It seems that this kind of thing still has to be done by the imperial army in person." ”

"The artillery fired thirty shells at the enemy's front-line positions, and then the heavy machine guns covered it, and a platoon of the infantry squad and the puppet army launched an attack, I don't believe that the real strength of the opponent could not be forced."

More than 80 Japanese puppet troops attacked at the same time, and heavy machine guns and mortars provided fire cover, and the commander of a company did not dare to let only the riflemen shoot, no matter how big he did.

Soon, light and heavy machine-gun fire sounded from the front-line positions.

The Japanese puppet army did not fight hard, and quickly withdrew from the battle after leaving more than 30 corpses.

Dazuo's face was not shocked, and he was not at all saddened by the thirty or so subordinates who had just lost.

In his eyes, the casualties of his subordinates are just a string of numbers, as long as they can complete the task and achieve the predetermined strategic goals, it doesn't matter how much or how little.

The purpose of the offensive just now has been achieved, and as for the number of people lost by the attacking troops, it is not up to them to consider.

Looking at the battlefield with a solemn order: "The Eighth Route Army, which has only one reinforced company on the position, assembles a mortar squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, an infantry squadron, and a battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and quickly eats them with a posture of killing chickens and knives, and kills them into the garrison base area." ”

At the Laiyuan Independent Battalion Headquarters, Hong Linfeng and Wang Honggang received the news that the Japanese puppet army had begun to attack.

Looking at the map, Hong Linfeng said with admiration and emotion: "Political commissar, the regiment commander's judgment is right, as soon as the morning dawns, the devil can't wait to launch an attack on the base area, for fear of missing this excellent fighter." ”

Wang Hong nodded: "If I were the commander of the Japanese army, it would be so fast, not only to hit our base area hard, but also to save Datong, killing two birds with one stone, such a good opportunity is not often encountered, and if you miss it, it will be gone." ”

"The regiment commander has an order: We must not let the enemy enter the base area to cause sabotage, and we must not fight too hard and scare them away."

"I completely agree with this operational idea, you will be responsible for how to command the chief of staff, I will be in charge of logistics, and I must drag the battle until the regiment commander returns."

Hong Linfeng replied confidently: "Don't worry, political commissar, my side has already arranged it." ”

"As long as the rhythm of the blocking is controlled, the Japanese army will attack our last line of defense just before dark."

"Because it was dark, they had to stop advancing."

"And before dawn tomorrow, the regiment commander will be able to bring the troops back in a car, and our mission will be completed."

"In addition, I also asked all the troops who returned to the base area last night to change their military uniforms and put on the clothes of local troops and guerrillas to fight, so that the Japanese army mistakenly thought that we were a temporary patchwork unit."

Wang Hong thought for a moment and added: "I have to add a little more." ”

"The security department got a tip-off that the last time we recruited new recruits on a large scale in the base area, many devil spies took the opportunity to infiltrate the troops."

"The security department is investigating, but it's slow."

"The devil wants to kill two birds with one stone, not only to hit our base area hard, but also to relieve the siege of Datong City."

"We will also give them a double eagle with one stone, and treat them in the same way as others."

"Use these spies to send some false information to the Japanese army, and by the way, let these spies take the initiative to expose when they send information, take the opportunity to kill them, and ensure the safety of the troops."

On the march and fighting, Wang Hong is not as good as Hong Linfeng.

When it comes to engaging in intelligence and catching the enemy, two Hong Linfeng are not as good as one Wang Hong.

Hurriedly asked: "Political commissar, how do you plan to operate, I will definitely cooperate with you fully." ”

"Two steps!" Wang Hong replied.

"You've done the first step, let the recruits in the two main battalions form stretcher teams and go to the battlefield to transport the wounded to the rear."

"The second step requires the full cooperation of the participating troops."

"At the end of each counterattack, the participating troops must 'suffer more than half of the casualties, and if there are not enough wounded, let the intact fighters pretend to be. I will let the stretcher team take the opportunity to go to the battlefield to transport the wounded, so that they can see that our army has suffered heavy casualties, and it is all the illusion that the local troops are holding their positions. ”

"The devils are anxious to find out what kind of troops stood in their way before the year."

"After these spies get the information, they will definitely find a way to spread it."

"The security department has arranged anti-special forces in each company, and cadres at all levels help keep an eye on them, as long as these spies dare to spread information, they will not be able to escape."

"When the time comes, we will only arrest people, and we will not stop the spies from passing on the information."

"After receiving the information, the little devils will definitely think that the troops on the position are local troops and guerrillas that we have improvised and have no main force, so they will dispel their concerns."

Hong Linfeng's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he listened, and he said happily: "This is indeed killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Knowing that the local troops and guerrillas on the position are our temporary patchwork, the devils will definitely seize the opportunity to annihilate all these troops here, and then kill them in the base area."

"Otherwise, after they enter the base area, they will have to divide their troops to destroy our local troops and guerrillas, and the price they will pay will be even greater."

"So they're going to attack desperately."

"I'll arrange it now, repel an attack by the Japanese puppet army, and change a company on the blocking position."

"The recruits send the wounded to the rear with the front foot, and the wounded can return to the unit with the back foot to continue fighting, which will not affect the combat effectiveness of the unit in the slightest."
