Deciding to move from the south to the southwest, Hu Biao made a series of deployments and precautions in advance. Knowing that the Japanese army would inevitably cut off the international supply line through Gui Province, it was inevitable to establish corresponding intelligence stations in various places along the way.

Compared with when he was first appointed, Liu Shixing, who is now the head of intelligence, can be regarded as a real growth. In addition, Hu Biao attaches great importance to the intelligence group, and as long as the funds and materials needed for intelligence construction are solved, Hu Biao will solve them as soon as possible.

The so-called 'soldier dies for his confidant', as Liu Shixing, who has been removed from the military command, also hopes to give full play to the knowledge and experience he learned in his early years. What he experienced at the beginning has now become his experience and experience.

In his early years, he studied professionally in the military command, pretending to be a hidden pile to infiltrate the Japanese army, and spent a period of time as a double agent. If Hu Biao hadn't given him a chance, maybe Liu Shixing would have died a heroic martyr.

Now that the large army has moved to the southwest, Liu Shixing's family has also been placed in the family village in Xilong. For Liu Shixing, he is also looking forward to the moment when Hu Biao becomes famous. As Hu Biao's cronies, his future is bound to be bright.

After receiving an infantry wing sent by the Japanese army to attack, Hu Biao gave the Longzhou defenders an order to prepare for battle, and at the same time, he also asked Liu Shixing to withdraw from Longzhou City immediately. Once the battle begins, staying in the city will also add more unknown risks.

Considering Liu Shixing's special status, Hu Biao immediately instructed Liu Shixing to go to the Baise area to supervise intelligence work. Although Qin Tianyou was in charge there, Hu Biao sent Liu Shixing over, and he could also summarize the information of all parties in a more timely manner.

On the Longzhou side, Hu Biao didn't plan to hold on for too long. After all, with the capture of Qinzhou by the Japanese army, tens of thousands of elite troops were scattered all over the country. The supply line from Haiphong City to Longzhou can basically be declared invalid.

With the strength of the Gui army, it is enough to be proud to be able to hold Nanning. If you want to drive the little devils out of Gui Province, I'm afraid that there are still some difficulties. Unless Bai Chongxi really plans to transfer back all the elites of the Gui family who went to the front line.

As far as the overall situation of the current Anti-Japanese War is concerned, even if Li and Bai have this idea, Lao Jiang will definitely not agree. Compared with the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, there is only one Gui province, and Lao Jiang feels that even if he loses it, it should not be a big problem.

Without Gui Province, there are still the roads that have been built to Yunnan, and the materials purchased by the Nationalist Government from overseas are still being transported to the rear in a steady stream of energy. Taking Gui Province as the frontier battlefield of the confrontation, I believe that Lao Jiang will also feel that it is very appropriate.

Despite the attacking infantry wing, they set off early in the morning. can think of the infantry brigade that was ambushed before, and the infantry wing that came back was also extra cautious when marching. The whole wing was divided into three groups, and the front and back echoed cautiously.

After receiving the telegram from the reconnaissance team, Hu Biao also said directly: "Judging from the marching speed of the little devils, it is estimated that it should be late in the evening when they arrive in Longzhou. Tonight, I don't think there will be any big fighting.

Lao Xu has already built a defensive position three miles outside the city, so the little devil who is attacking should send some troops to carry out a tentative attack. Find out the situation and prepare for the next day's general offensive.

With so many troops coming from afar, it is impossible to imagine that all the camping in the wilderness will come to pass. Then the little devil is very likely to set up a temporary camp about five kilometers away from Longzhou City. This place must also be not too far from the road. ”

As he spoke, he deduced on the map. Seeing that there was a town with a large area almost six kilometers away from Longzhou City, Hu Biao felt that the little devil should choose to camp temporarily in this town.

Looking at this town, Hu Biao said directly: "Are there still ordinary people in this town?" ”

"It's gone! According to your previous instructions, the Longzhou Security Corps has notified all the people within a radius of 10 kilometers to hide in the mountains. The officers and soldiers of the security regiment also forcibly drove the people who refused to leave, so as to achieve the effect of clearing the wilderness! ”

"Good! Let the commander of the third company quickly sneak into the town and plant some explosives in advance. Then he rushed to the mountains and forests outside the town before the little devil arrived. Leave the detonation line and wait for my orders at any time! ”

"What if the little devil doesn't live in the town?"

"Then we have nothing to lose! If the little devil is willing to camp outside the town, then let Sanlian find an opportunity to toss the little devil a few more times. In this way, it is estimated that tonight, they will not want to sleep soundly! ”

"Understood!"

Although there are some scattered villages within five kilometers of Longzhou City. But these villages either don't have many households, or they are a bit far from the road. Only this town, in size and location, is the most suitable for the temporary stationing of the Japanese infantry wing.

With Hu Biao's understanding of the little devils, the headquarters of their infantry wing should not advance too close to Longzhou City. Within 10 kilometers is undoubtedly the best distance, so that the infantry wing can send additional troops to the front line at any time.

Unlike the inland plains, the territory of Gui Province itself is densely forested. Although the town is only about six kilometers away from Longzhou City, it still takes about an hour to walk forward. Along the way, there are also many roads and forests.

Even if it is equipped with artillery with a range of more than five kilometers, it is almost impossible to directly set up artillery in the town to attack the county seat. Correspondingly, the little devils don't have to worry, the defenders stationed in the county town use artillery to attack them remotely.

Looking at the little devil reconnaissance plane flying in the sky from time to time, Hu Biao thought for a while and said: "Let Lao Xu organize the troops and find a way to knock out the little devil reconnaissance plane that flew over the county seat." Expose some anti-aircraft fire in advance to make the little devil nervous! ”

"In this way, if you want to ambush the little devil's fighter in the future, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, right?"

"Don't forget, our Eagle Strike Brigade is ready to take off! If you are the commander of the little devils and you know that there are anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in the city, you will definitely find a way to destroy these anti-aircraft firepower first.

When the little devils' fighters run out of ammunition, then it should be their turn to hit the field. Without the cover of fighters, those bombers are living targets. Do you think it's worth exchanging some anti-aircraft weapons for the little devil's fighters? ”

"Value! Hey! Wolf head, you pit the little devil, it's really one trick after another! ”

After his subordinates laughed, they quickly conveyed Hu Biao's order to Xu Sandao. Although he didn't understand why Hu Biao did this, Xu Sandao also knew that the appearance of the reconnaissance plane also realized that the battle was about to start.

Even if the little devil's infantry is still on the way, then the little devil's bomber formation may also bomb in advance. It is a very effective tactic to destroy the defenders' positions and break the morale of the defenders for the attacking infantry first.

Thinking of this, Xu Sandao called his subordinates and said: "Organize a platoon of fighters to use the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns set up to find a way to shoot down the little devil's reconnaissance plane." Before you shoot, let the Heavy provoke it! ”

"Understood!"

In fact, in order to prevent the little devils from bombing the county seat, Xu Sandao and the security regiment guarding Longzhou were deployed in defensive positions outside the city. In the castle, only a small number of defensive troops remained, and anti-aircraft fortifications were built.

The anti-aircraft weapons set up in the county town were also brought from Hu Biao. The purpose is also very simple, that is, to let the little devil know that there is anti-aircraft fire in Longzhou City. Let the little devil mistakenly think that the main force of the defenders is still lurking in the city.

When the two little devil reconnaissance planes appeared in the sky over Longzhou City, the fighters in charge of air defense observation immediately sounded the air defense siren. After a short time, the officers and soldiers who were originally standing on the city wall on guard quickly hid in the air defense fortifications next to them.

The Japanese reconnaissance plane, which was in charge of pre-war reconnaissance, also heard the sound of sirens coming from below after it flew over the county seat. Somewhat surprised, the two pilots also began to deliberately lower their altitude in an attempt to search the area where the defenders were.

Just when the little devil reconnaissance plane, one is responsible for reconnaissance, and the other is responsible for air alert. In an attic building located in the south of the city, a fierce burst of gunfire was suddenly heard. A string of machine-gun bullets formed a crossfire to fire a Japanese reconnaissance plane that lowered its altitude.

Hearing the gunshots, the little devil pilot, who was about to dive to reconnoitre, quickly pulled up the plane and scolded: "Baga! What a cunning Chinese army! Belch! It's a bullet from a machine gun! At such a distance, are these Chinese troops fools? ”

After pulling up the altitude, the little devil pilot suddenly found that the bullets that came out seemed to be unable to reach the height he was at. When he realized that this should be machine-gun fire, the little devil's pilot also breathed a sigh of relief.

Flying to the same altitude as the other reconnaissance plane, the two pilots, after gesticulating, began to make a high-altitude dive, one left and one right. The on-board machine guns loaded on it also began to fire frantically at the attic of the city wall.

Looking at the attic where sawdust tiles were flying around, the two reconnaissance plane pilots said very excitedly: "Shuffle! Just a few machine guns want to sneak attack, it's really wishful thinking! Try my precious machine gun bullets! ”

Just when the two pilots looked at the attic, they were hit by a thousand holes. Several anti-aircraft machine guns, which had been locked and aimed, instantly lifted off their protective camouflage, and the combat team members behind the guns soon heard the command from the commander next to them: "Fight!" ”

Several anti-aircraft machine guns, which opened fire almost simultaneously, quickly fired a grid of anti-aircraft fire. When the two reconnaissance planes in the dive state realized that they had been ambushed, they also quickly prepared to pull away from the strike fire network.

It is a pity that one of the fighters moved a little slowly, and directly crashed into the net of fire fired by the anti-aircraft machine gun. Several anti-aircraft machine gun shells, which pierced straight through the windshield of the cabin, directly knocked the pilot into a hornet's nest.

The reconnaissance plane, which lost control in an instant, soon crashed into a civilian house not far from the city wall. There was a boom, and the reconnaissance plane soon exploded. The other fighter, fortunately escaping, also accelerated into the air to evade artillery fire.

Looking at the follow-up strike fire, the Japanese pilot was also terrified. Hearing the sound of a bullet coming from the tail of the fighter, the pilot was also extremely worried that the fighter he was piloting would also fall into the city like the previous fighter!
