At the battalion headquarters of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, He Wenlin, the head of the security department of the garrison regiment, ran in excitedly.

"Commissar, your method has worked."

"The anti-special report lurking among the recruits in the security department: the spies of the Japanese puppet army lurking in the main force are beginning to emerge."

"It has been discovered that two spies are sending information to the outside world, and the content is a false illusion that we deliberately played: In order to hold our positions, we have concentrated all the local troops and guerrillas within the base area here, but their combat effectiveness is very poor, and the casualties of the troops are also very large."

"After only repelling one Japanese attack, more than half of the troops defending the position suffered casualties."

"I've already arranged for someone to stare at the two spies who came up, and they can be taken down at any time."

"I also sent people to keep an eye on the place where the spies connected, as long as someone goes to get information, we can easily take the sheep and catch more spies."

This result was already expected by Wang Hong, and he immediately ordered: "You don't rush to collect the net first, and stare all the targets to me to death, I will put a long line to catch a big fish, and by the way, send a few more false information to the Japanese army." ”

After speaking, Wang Hong shifted his gaze to Hong Linfeng: "Chief of Staff, in the eyes of the Japanese, although we repelled one of their attacks, the casualties of the blocking troops exceeded sixty percent. I want to know the real situation of the troops, otherwise I will always be in a panic. ”

Hong Linfeng hurriedly replied: "The real casualties are less than forty percent, and the remaining more than twenty percent of the casualties are all performed by the soldiers." ”

"When they arrived at the rear field hospital, the unwounded fighters immediately changed their clothes and walked back to the battlefield on the path."

"The spies hidden among the recruits can't act alone, they see only the surface, and they definitely can't find these wounded who have returned to the battlefield."

Forty percent of the casualties were still very large, and the expression on Wang Hong's face slowly became solemn.

Hong Linfeng immediately explained: "In order to avoid frightening the Japanese puppet army attacking us and letting them realize that we are the main force, we are not allowed to use mortars and mountain artillery when fighting, and we can only use half of the heavy machine guns, so there are so many casualties." ”

"If all these heavy weapons are used, the losses can be reduced by several percent."

"The regiment commander is already on his way back to help, and he can quickly rush to the battlefield by car when it gets dark. As long as we drag the Japanese puppet army until the regiment commander returns, we will definitely be able to annihilate them completely. ”

"With hundreds of casualties in exchange for the lives of thousands of puppet soldiers, we will not lose at all in this deal."

Wang Hong nodded: "Since you have the bottom in your heart, Chief of Staff, then I can rest assured." ”

On the battlefield of Datong, street fighting continued.

The addition of the brigade commander's guard unit made the street fighting more intense and did not stop the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

The four main regiments in the northwest of Shanxi Province that participated in the siege of the city, the main force regiment that just arrived this morning plus 2,000 local troops, and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment reinforced the troops, with a total strength of more than 10,000.

The main force of the Japanese army, armed expatriates, and puppet troops, all added up to just over a thousand, and more than 100 people had almost zero impact on the war situation.

"Boom ......"

In the dull explosion of the grenade, several puffs of black smoke rose from the courtyard not far away.

More than thirty soldiers rushed over with guns, vigilant vigilance, assault assault, and killed into the courtyard in a few seconds.

In the smoke-filled courtyard, a total of five devils fell to the ground on their backs, each of them had several wounds blown up, and the blood that kept pouring out had dyed the military uniform red, and they were motionless.

Next to the devil was a light machine gun and four rifles, which happened to be the firepower of a machine gun group.

"Refill your weapons and ammunition, and move on." The platoon commander ordered with a hint of excitement.

When they entered the city, the platoon had nearly 40 men, armed with a light machine gun and more than 30 rifles of various types.

Several fighters were killed or wounded in the previous attack, and now there are 32 people left.

Under normal circumstances, if there are fewer troops, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely deteriorate.

But the opposite is true.

Along the way, they had already eliminated two machine-gun groups and several strat-soldiers, and all the captured light machine guns and rifles were equipped with troops.

Although there were only 32 people left in the platoon, they were armed with three light machine guns and 29 rifles.

These rifles are not the old sleeves that were rifled almost smoothed out before.

Either the Zhongzheng and Mauser rifles carefully selected by everyone, or the newly captured 38 large covers.

Ammunition is even more incredible.

Before the attack, they were specially replenished with ammunition, but except for the machine gunners, who were fairly adequate, the riflemen were given only two grenades and twenty rounds of ammunition per person on average.

After attacking all the way, the ammunition in their hands not only did not decrease, but increased several times.

Each light machine gun was given three or four hundred rounds of ammunition, and the rifleman's ammunition amounted to four grenades or grenades, and fifty rounds......

Such a configuration of firepower and ammunition directly increased the combat effectiveness of the whole platoon.

"Horn ......"

Two voices came from the ruins not far away, and one of the soldiers at the front fell in response.

The platoon commander reacted quickly: "Hide, there is an enemy thirty meters in front of us on the left!" ”

"The first squad covered frontally, and the second and third squads outflanked them in a roundabout way and killed them."

The complex terrain and dense houses in the city not only provided the Japanese army with a large number of street fighting battlefields, but also provided the Eighth Route Army with an opportunity to engage the enemy in concealment.

Nearly twenty warriors, climbing over the wall, drilling holes and burrows, soon touched the side of the courtyard where the devil was hiding.

During the whole assault, the cover kept an eye on it, not giving the devil a chance to leave the yard.

"Boom ......"

A minute later, the sound of a grenade explosion was heard, and two flames could be seen rising from the courtyard where the enemy was hiding.

After another two minutes, the outflanking troops successfully withdrew, and the rifles in the hands of two more soldiers were replaced by 38 large caps, and there were more bullets in the cartridges than just now.

The Japanese command, the brigade commander was in a hurry.

It had been half an hour since I received the telegram from the military headquarters to start the offensive, and the offensive of the Eighth Route Army not only did not slow down, but became more and more fierce.

Although he did not go to the battlefield in person, the gunfire that was getting closer and closer meant that the area controlled by the Japanese was shrinking.

At this speed of attack, in two more hours, the Eighth Route Army would be able to occupy more than half of Datong's area and see the hope of taking Datong in a short time.

At that time, even if they received the news that the base area had been attacked, they were not willing to retreat.

Because no one wants to spit out the fat that has been bitten into their mouth.

Therefore, he still has to find a way to slow down the pace of the Eighth Route Army's attack, so that when they receive the news of the attack on the base area, they will not see any hope of taking Datong City.

"Why haven't the aviation come here yet!" The brigade commander pinned his hopes on the plane that had not yet arrived, because it was the only foreign aid he could call.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the wall clock and replied: "Twenty minutes to go!" ”

The brigade commander ordered with a calm face: "Immediately issue signal smoke bombs to the front-line street fighting troops." ”

"As soon as the aviation troops arrived, they immediately fired smoke bombs at the areas occupied by the Eighth Route Army, guiding the aviation troops to bomb the Eighth Route Army in the city, blocking their offensive pace, and it would be better if they could inflict heavy damage on them."
