At ten o'clock in the morning, an urgent telegram was suddenly delivered to Li Hao!

"Regiment Commander, Commando Emergency!"

"An hour ago, a ghost cavalry suddenly left Laiyuan and marched in the direction of Lingqiu to kill!"

"It is preliminarily judged that there are at least two cavalry brigades of this little devil, and Captain Xiao reminds us to prepare to meet the enemy!"

After receiving the telegram, Li Hao did not speak, but turned his head to look at Hong Linfeng and asked, "Chief of Staff, what do you think of this cavalry reinforcements!" ”

"It's greasy!" Hong Linfeng replied without thinking about it!

"I suspect that this reinforcement is eighty percent the same as the one that appeared yesterday afternoon! On the surface, it looks like cavalry, but in fact, it is indeed sending artillery to Lingqiu City! ”

Speaking of this, Hong Linfeng's eyes also began to heat up, and his eyes lit up and proposed: "Commander, this is fat meat sent to your mouth, don't eat it for nothing!" ”

"I propose, gather heavy troops, eat this little devil halfway, and grab those heavy mortars, so that our heavy artillery company can be formed!"

Liu Senyun and Zhao Wen reacted quickly, both wanted to grab the main attack task, and at the same time asked Zhan to say: "Regiment leader, I'll go!" ”

After glancing at each other, in order to increase the chances of victory, Zhao Wen added: "Light and heavy machine guns are the nemesis of cavalry, I will gather all the light and heavy machine guns in the whole battalion to prepare a pocket formation for them, and then build some blocking positions to slow down the cavalry assault speed, I will definitely be able to annihilate them!" ”

Liu Senyun was not far behind, and then added: "I can dig a lot of traps on the road that devils must pass, and then hide them!" ”

"The devil is in a hurry to go to Lingqiu City, he will definitely not find it!"

"First use the trap to kill some cavalry, and then use the method just now of Battalion Commander Zhao to prepare a pocket formation for the remaining cavalry, arrange more light and heavy machine guns, and eat them in one bite!"

Hong Linfeng's eyes became hotter and hotter, and he already agreed with the proposal of the two battalion commanders in his heart, and then put forward his ideas again!

"Commander, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, let's fight!"

"Can't fight!" Li Hao actually refused.

Hong Linfeng and the two battalion commanders showed a stunned and shocked expression at that time.

They can't figure out why?

It was obviously a must-win ambush battle, why would the regiment commander refuse, and so resolutely.

Li Hao didn't let them wait too long, thought for a while and explained: "Things are not as simple as you imagined!" ”

"I agree with the chief of staff's judgment that this reinforcement must be a cat!"

"The reason why you refused to ambush is because you missed something and didn't think about it!"

"The little devil reinforcements not only have cavalry, but also planes escorting them overhead!"

"No matter how perfectly our pocket array is arranged, it is still vulnerable in front of the plane!"

"At that time, not only will it be impossible to eat the little devil, but it will also suffer heavy casualties under the attack of the devil's plane, and it will lose the wife and the soldiers!"

"So I decided to ignore them and let them enter Lingqiu City directly!"

"Of course, what I'm talking about doesn't mean only that the main forces don't move, the guerrillas, the local troops, all the ones that can move move for me!"

"Guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, mine warfare...... No matter what tricks, as long as I can kill devils, I will use them all and constantly weaken their strength! ”

Hong Linfeng reminded: "Commander, you have to think about it!" ”

"Once they enter the city, we will have to deal with more little devils tonight, and the number of heavy mortars will increase to more than twenty!"

"With so many devils and heavy weapons, can we eat them?"

"Eat!"

Li Hao replied in the affirmative, his face was still as confident as ever!

After a change of words, he continued: "However, after there are more devils, our tactics and tactics must also be adjusted appropriately!" ”

"Chief of Staff, immediately send out all the communicators of the regimental headquarters, contact the nearby guerrillas, local troops, and all those who can rush here before dark to rush over with all their weapons and ammunition, the more the better!"

"Tonight, I'm going to have a fight with the little devil and completely take Lingqiu City!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the twelve mortars that Aoki Daisa wanted to pierce were finally sent into Lingqiu City by the cavalry!

Looking at the thick muzzle of the mortar and the long barrel, the last bit of worry in Aoki Daisa's heart disappeared in an instant!

Confidence reappeared on his face, and he decisively ordered: "Equip these artillery units with these artillery pieces immediately, and be ready to participate in the battle in small teams at any time!" ”

"Also, report to me the latest situation of the garrison outside the city immediately, the more detailed the better!"

The adjutant hurriedly replied: "According to the reconnaissance: the garrison regiment attacking us outside the city has also come with a lot of reinforcements!" ”

"But the quality of these reinforcements is not very good, except for a small part of the main force, the rest are all local troops and guerrillas formed by the Eighth Route Army, with poor combat effectiveness and poor equipment!"

Aoki Osa replied with a sneer: "It seems that our opponent is at the end of his rope!" ”

"Since the garrison has gathered all these troops outside Lingqiu City, then we are in the same pot! Lest you have to divide your forces to eliminate these threats in the future, trouble! ”

"Pass my order, the troops will have dinner at five o'clock tonight, and then all enter the position at six o'clock!"

"The infantry all entered the fortifications of the city, a total of twenty-one heavy mortars, nine in the east and west of the city, and three for spare!"

"Tonight, I'm going to hit the garrison on the front line of the city wall and fight them back!" ”

"All the cavalry who entered the city yesterday and today participated in the battle, a cavalry brigade was arranged in the east and west of the city, after the counterattack began, they will kill out of Lingqiu City with the infantry, counterattack and attack our garrison, kill all the Eighth Route Army outside the city, and solve the great trouble of the empire in one battle!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Japanese garrison headquarters was brightly lit, and the busy scene of the day disappeared at this time!

Everyone held their breath and looked at a clock on the wall of the command headquarters, waiting for the moment of attack?

"Jingle Bell ......"

A quick phone ringing suddenly breaks the quiet atmosphere here!

The staff officer grabbed the microphone and put it to his ear and listened for less than half a minute, then covered the microphone with his left hand and reported to Aoki from afar.

"Sir, the East Gate reports that the Eighth Route Army has appeared in the offensive position outside the city!"

"Tell them to be ready!" Aoki commanded in a deep voice!

"The artillery is on standby, the key to this counteroffensive is to find and destroy the artillery units of the garrison regiment, and then destroy their secret weapons, and finally cover the infantry counterattack! Therefore, the importance of artillery is self-evident, once the secret weapons of the garrison regiment are exposed, immediately open artillery counterattacks, force the artillery of the garrison regiment to be exposed, and destroy them! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The staff officer quickly answered, and then began to give orders into the microphone!

It didn't take long for the same order to reach the Japanese army position in Lingqiu City!

In a courtyard less than two hundred meters away from the devil's ammunition depot, a little movement suddenly appeared in the middle of a ruin!

A wooden plank covered with a lot of dirt was carefully pushed open, and a hole appeared, and then a human head slowly protruded!

After confirming that there were no little devils around, this person quickly crawled out, with the rifle flat end in his hand, half-crouched next to the hole, staring around with a vigilant expression!

The second person quickly drilled out, and then the third person!

In less than two minutes, thirteen people came out of the small hole!

"Battalion commander, there is no devil around, and I don't see the devil patrol!" A soldier ran to Sun Jiawu's side and reported!

"It must have been done by the regimental commander!" Sun Jiawu said happily!

"During the day, the regimental commander has a telegram, and after dark, they will find a way to attract all the main forces of the devils to the front line of the city wall. Now it seems that the regimental commander's method has been completed! ”

"Without the devils, it will be easier for us to occupy the devils' ammunition depot and material warehouse, as well as to take the devil's artillery positions!"

"Everyone disperse immediately, find our people, and all gather here!"

"We have to attack with a purpose tonight, and we can't mess around like we did last night!"

"It's seven o'clock, and there are still two hours left before the attack time agreed by the regiment commander, everyone must hurry!"

In less than an hour, a total of seven platoon commanders were all found and hid in a small house that was completely sealed, waiting for Sun Jiawu to give an order!

Sun Jiawu didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Comrades, to make a long story short, I will directly announce the task given to us by the regiment commander: after the frontal attack of the main force starts, we will take the devil's arsenal, material warehouse, command headquarters, and all artillery positions as quietly as possible under the cover of night!" ”

"After the various departments complete their tasks, the troops are divided into two, and one-third of the troops are left to protect the loot they have captured and prevent the devils from snatching it back!"

"Two-thirds of the troops are directly killed on the battlefield, choose the target to attack and kill the devil, and cooperate with the main force to completely take Lingqiu City!"

"Now I'll arrange the task: the guard battalion is a company and a platoon, in charge of the devil arsenal!"

"The first company and the second platoon of the guard battalion are responsible for the devil's material warehouse!"

"The third platoon and the guard squad are under my personal command to attack the devil headquarters!"

"The guard platoon of the special service battalion, the reconnaissance platoon, and a few directly subordinate squads, you go to the east, first take the devil artillery position, and then cover the main force of your battalion to enter Lingqiu City and kill the little devils there!

"The guard platoon of the independent battalion, the reconnaissance platoon, and a few companies directly under the squad go to the West Gate, the task is the same!"

"The troops will be divided now, secretly lurking around the attack target, no one can expose the target in advance, and we can only act after the main force starts, otherwise even if the whole operation is not defeated, our losses will be greatly increased!"

The Japanese command, after a short period of excitement, it is quiet again!

It's been almost twenty minutes since the garrison regiment entered its position, and it hasn't launched an attack yet!

For Aoki Daisa, this kind of waiting can definitely be called torment!

Everything you should have prepared is ready, and it can be called almost foolproof!

As long as the garrison regiment comes to fight, this battle will definitely be won!

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and all Aoki Daisa needs to do now is wait for the arrival of the east wind!

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rang again, and the staff officer grabbed the phone as quickly as he did just now, and after listening to it for half a minute, he hurriedly reported!

"Sir, report from the East Gate: the main force of the garrison regiment has entered the position!"

"The offensive positions outside the city are full of figures, but they are not attacking, but continue to deepen and widen the offensive positions!"

"Order the front-line troops, strengthen the vigilance!" Aoki ordered without thinking about it!

A sneer slowly flashed on his serious face, and then he said, "Our opponents are not only at the end of their rope, they are also afraid!" ”

"As an attacking party, according to common sense, there is no need to deepen and widen the offensive position! But they did it, obviously not enough confidence for the next attack! In the event of defeat, the strengthened offensive position is their last retreat! ”

A smile also appeared on the adjutant's tense face! He was glad to compliment him: "Sir, we will win this battle!" ”
