For the Japanese troops stationed in Shilipu, they knew what the task was before they were stationed. The Japanese squadron that took over the encirclement and annihilation last night had already made them realize that Shilipu was a dangerous place and that they must be vigilant when stationed.

From the orders issued by the division and regiment, it can be seen that the surrounding area of the division and regiment has been afraid that it has not been peaceful recently, and there are even some dangers. If this were not the case, the division would not have ordered them to hurry up and repair the fortifications in case of contingency. This has never happened before.

In the past, when they were stationed in Shilipu, the Japanese army would send some troops to the surrounding villages to fight the autumn breeze. And today, many of the troops who were collecting supplies were inexplicably attacked, so that their defensive forces became nervous.

Even if some officers guessed, they were afraid that it would not be peaceful tonight. But these little devils still didn't expect that before the night fell, the battle curtain had already opened. In the face of the pouring artillery fire, the defenders of the village were powerless to resist.

Seeing the fortifications being blown up and the houses where they had taken refuge being blown down, the originally disciplined troops were as frightened as dogs that had lost their homes. This sudden and fierce shelling really frightened the Japanese troops in the village.

Equally uneasy was the main force of the Japanese division stationed near Shilipu. Listening to the fierce artillery bombardment coming from Shilipu, many little devils who were in charge of guarding quickly blew the whistle of warning, and many troops quickly assembled.

When Ogishu Libing received the adjutant's report, he was very surprised and said, "What about it? Ten miles of shop attacked? ”

"Yes, General! The forward sentry came to report that there was a fierce artillery bombardment in the direction of Shilipu, and there should be the main force of the Zhina Army, which was attacking Shilipu. Sure enough, as the general expected, the mysterious armed force lurking in Shucheng had already infiltrated Lu'an. ”

"It's a bit of a surprise to be so eager to attack. The left flank infantry brigade was ordered to immediately rush to Shilipu for reinforcements. The outskirts were ordered to be on alert and vigilant against a sneak attack by the Chinese army. ”

"Hey!"

Originally, according to the guess of the Ogishu soldiers, the mysterious troops who are good at night battles and sneak attacks should choose to launch a sneak attack in the dead of night. But now the sky has not completely darkened, and the troops on the periphery of the division are under fierce attack.

There were obviously some unreasonable situations, and it also made the soldiers of Ogizhou unable to guess Hu Biao's combat intentions for a while. But there is one thing, Ogisu Libing always believes that as long as his troops are vigilant, he has no fear of going head-to-head.

Even if nearly half of the troops were lost in Shucheng, it was caused by a sneak attack. If it goes head-to-head, Ogisu is confident that he won't lose. It was precisely because of this self-confidence that Ogizhou Libing decided to stay in Lu'an and wait for the opportunity.

Now that Hu Biao has made a move, it is naturally the turn of the Ogizhou soldiers to return the color. Considering that the situation was still unclear, he sent an infantry brigade to Shilipu for reinforcements. The infantry brigade stationed on the left flank of the division was naturally not weak in combat effectiveness.

At the same time, Hu Biao, who used the fierce artillery fire to plow the court and sweep the holes, quietly watched the performance of the two artillery positions. As soon as the five minutes arrived, Hu Biao said calmly: "Pillar, hit the signal flare!" Start the all-out offensive! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

As a flare rose into the air, it hit the rising artillerymen, and then stopped shelling. At the same time, Lei Xiong, who was lurking near Shilipu, roared: "Brothers, rush! ”

The guard regiment directly under the 51st Army, which cooperated with the operation, looked at the officers and soldiers of the task force detachment who rushed into the smoke of gunpowder, and Xu Hu, who was in charge of the command, also quickly said: "The whole regiment is attacking, don't let go of a little devil!" Kill! ”

The frontal attack was handled by the troops commanded by Lei Xiong, and the perimeter was handled by the guard regiment commanded by Xu Hu. As the shelling ended, the defenders of the village, who had been blown up to the point of dizziness, also began to shout: "Defense! Get ready to stop! Counterattack! ”

Most of the little devils who survived shouted loudly, hoping that someone would respond to their greetings. As a result, to the horror of these little devils, the village, which had many people around them before the shelling, suddenly became empty.

Occasionally, from the collapsed ruins, there were cries for help, clearly informing these surviving little devils that after a shelling, they were no longer one in ten. Even if there are those who are alive, most of them are wounded and disabled, and it is difficult to organize an effective counterattack.

The smoke from the shelling became clear in the drizzle as the shelling stopped. At this moment, there were countless shouts of killing around the village. The attacking troops that invaded the village could also be said to kill people on sight.

The reserve company, which was responsible for the main attack mission, was instructed by Lei Xiong early in the morning. That is, don't live one. It is necessary to wipe out all the surviving little devils in the village before the arrival of the guard regiment. The guard regiment can only clean up the battlefield for them.

When the guard regiment rushed into the village, in addition to killing some little devils who tried to escape and break through, they saw the officers and soldiers of the reserve company who had killed the entire village before entering the village. Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the guard regiment were also surprised.

Many officers and soldiers muttered: "MD, such a guy is running really fast, and he won't be able to fight now!" ”

"Wouldn't it be better to fight if you don't? If we really want to fight with the little devils, we may not be able to get benefits. Okay, remember what the group said, be polite to these guys. In any case, they are also allies! ”

The officer of the guard regiment who led the team, listening to the muttering and discussion of his subordinates, quickly remembered what Xu Hu had confessed before. That is, you must be polite to Hu Biao's subordinates. If you can't get a fight, then you can be honest and obedient.

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment who rushed into the village, Lei Xiong, who successfully converged in the village, also said directly: "What about your commander? The remnants of the village have been cleared, and we have other tasks, so we will leave the matter of cleaning up the battlefield to you! ”

In the process of clearing out the remnants of the enemy in the village, Lei Xiong had already asked the officers and soldiers of the prisoner of war company to collect the weapons and ammunition that were easier to pick up. The remaining guns and ammunition buried in the rubble or under the corpses, Lei Xiong did not pick them up, and handed them over to the guard regiment to clean up.

In the past, Lei Xiong was definitely reluctant to give up these loot. But after fighting with Hu Biao, he also knew that ordinary weapons, Hu Biao didn't look down on them at all, and the task force didn't need them. Picking up too much will increase the burden on the march.

When Xu Hu arrived, after a brief meeting between the two, Lei Xiong greeted him, and the soldiers of the reserve company and the officers and soldiers of the prisoner of war company who rushed into the village quickly rushed out of the village and rushed towards the night not far away.

Taking out a pocket watch from his arms, Xu Hu looked at the time and said: "In less than ten minutes, the little devils of the two squadrons were completely annihilated, and they did not lose a single soldier." The combat effectiveness of these guys is really not simple! ”

"Tuanza, there are still a lot of weapons and ammunition in this village, and these guys don't want it?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but people don't look down on these weapons and ammunition. Alright, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, there will be a mission later! If it's late, wait for others to eat meat, and we're afraid we won't even be able to drink the soup! ”

When the guard regiment seized the time to clean up the battlefield and cleared out all the weapons, ammunition and materials that could be used. Hu Biao and Yu Xuezhong also quickly appeared on the road in front of the village, looking at the guard regiment that was busy in the ruins of the village.

Just when Yu Xuezhong lamented that this battle was too easy, Hu Biao said with a smile: "General Yu, I'm afraid there is no time to sigh now!" My reconnaissance unit has come to report that an infantry brigade of the Japanese army is rushing towards us at full speed!

Time is precious, and I asked General Yu to give an order to leave some troops to clean up the battlefield. In addition, on the artillery position, I left some artillery and asked General Yu to send troops to transport it away. If I'm not mistaken, the general still has troops in the city, right? ”

"Definitely! In order to ensure the safety of Liu'an, I still have a main division of troops left in the city! ”

"Leave one main regiment behind, and the rest of the troops should hurry out of the city! If I take down the ten-mile shop, I will be able to drive straight into the Yellow Dragon. The rest of these little devils are afraid that they will not be able to take care of themselves, and they will not be able to fight the idea of Lu'an City at all.

If you send more troops, you can also annihilate some more little devils. Although I can't guarantee that I can wipe out the remaining little devils. But I believe that after the general offensive starts, the Japanese army will inevitably be completely defeated, and the general should know what to do next, right? ”

"Good! It's rare for my brother to have such ambitions, so I'll bet on it too. Someone came, sent a report to the city, leaving a main regiment, and the rest of the troops quickly left the city. The rest of the departments fully cooperated with Chief Hu's troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese army! ”

Through a battle of less than ten minutes, Yu Xuezhong already knew how strong Hu Biao's combat power was. When Xuezhong ordered the assembly of the guard regiment to participate in the blocking of Japanese reinforcements, several cars had already appeared on the road.

The artillery, which had previously been mounted outside the village, was also quickly transferred to the vehicle. Not long after, except for the artillery that was retained, all the rest of the artillery was put on the car and quickly transported. Behind the convoy, artillery of a larger caliber was also towed.

Looking at these artillery, Yu Xuezhong said in shock: "Brother Hu, this is the little devil's heavy artillery, right?" ”

"It's not a heavy artillery! At best, it should be a field artillery, a 105 caliber field artillery, and the power is still good! After solving the Japanese infantry brigade that came to help, I went straight to the Japanese division station, and the little devils on the periphery will bother you to contain it! ”

"Please rest assured, brother! Although my troops, the strength is not as good as my brother. can contain the little devils on the periphery, and it can still be done. I really didn't expect that my brother still has such a big killing weapon in his hand, this time it is an eye-opener! ”

"If the general really likes it, I will allow you a few of these field artillery and mountain artillery after the war. It's a pity that I don't have many shells in my hands. If there is a capture in this battle, maybe the general will also have a chance to form an artillery regiment directly under him! ”

"Brother, as the saying goes, great grace is not grateful, I have memorized this feeling. In the future, if my brother needs my help, just give orders, and I will go up and down in the 51st Army, and I promise to go all out! ”

If Yu Xuezhong was still envious of Xu Yuanquan for taking advantage of it before, then he was really ecstatic when he heard Hu Biao's promise at this moment. If the 51st Army can have an artillery regiment directly under it, it will not suffer repeated losses if it plays against the little devils in the future.

In the past, the equipment of the Northeast Army was undoubtedly one of the best among all warlords. But now, the Northeast Army has almost been reduced to a miscellaneous army. If you want to expand your strength or save more vitality, you can only find a way to do it yourself.

Now seeing the hope of expanding the army and improving its strength, how can Yu Xuezhong not be excited? How can you not rejoice?
