Studying and judging the enemy's situation is also a quality that leading generals must have. By raising supplies and troops under attack, the commander of the Japanese division saw that Hu Biao and his party had arrived, and quickly made corresponding defensive arrangements according to the judged situation.

According to the Japanese army's troop movement and defensive deployment, Hu Biao quickly analyzed that the Japanese army had taken precautions against it. He immediately changed his combat strategy and decisively decided to attack the Japanese division by surprise.

Even in the eyes of many people, Hu Biao is better at scheming. If you really want to fight a good battle, Hu Biao will naturally do it. As far as the current hole cards of the two armies are concerned, Hu Biao feels that even if it goes head-to-head, his side should have more chances of winning.

Receiving a telegram from Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong also knew that this was a rare opportunity. Even if it could not inflict heavy damage on the remnants of the Japanese division and regiment that had been held outside the city for several days, it would be possible to drive them out of the territory of Lu'an, and for the 51st Army, the crisis could be suspended.

Yu Xuezhong, who was tasked with protecting the flank of Wuhan, knew very well that once Lu'an fell, it would be difficult for the 26th Group Army to retreat to Huoshan to resist the Japanese army. At that time, the flank of the Wuhan defenders was exposed to the Japanese soldiers, and they could not escape the blame.

Quickly convened a meeting of officers at the division and regimental level under his command, and Yu Xuezhong decided to send a division. The rest of the troops still held their positions to ensure that after the troops were dispatched, they would not be caught off guard by the little devils. This can be regarded as preparing for both.

Hearing the combat order issued by Yu Xuezhong, a division commander soon said: "Military seat, once the attack fails, the combat troops are afraid that it will be very dangerous." There are still tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city by the little devils! ”

"I'm sure you've all heard of the two truckloads of weapons and ammunition I received outside the city yesterday. Do you know who gave us these weapons and ammunition? Do you know who are the troops who annihilated several units of the Japanese army in Shucheng?

This time, our troops attacked more to cooperate with this friendly army that came from afar. I don't know exactly how many people there are, but they've proven themselves with their records. Make an assist, are you still afraid?

Secondly, we must make one thing clear, the little devils outside the city will launch a full-scale attack on us sooner or later. If so, how long can we hold out? Once Lu'an is lost, who can bear the responsibility?

Now that someone is helping us deal with the little devils outside the city, we only need to use a part of our troops to cooperate in the battle, why are you still hesitating? Could it be that you are all scared by the little devils, and you don't dare to fight the little devils? ”

There is a fear of war among his subordinates, and Yu Xuezhong naturally knows it. In fact, not only were his subordinates afraid of the Japanese army, but even he was not? At present, among the generals of the national army, how many people dare to say that they have confidence in the victory of the Japanese army?

Now Hu Biao hopes that he will send troops to cooperate, if he doesn't even dare to do this, how can the 51st Army lose face if it is spread. Not to mention, Hu Biao first gave them a batch of weapons and ammunition, and then decided to dispose of the captured loot by him.

Facing Yu Xuezhong, who was full of anger, the division commanders and regimental commanders under his command did not dare to say anything. And even among these high-ranking commanders, soon there were main regimental commanders who asked for battle. In this regard, Yu Xuezhong was also very pleased, feeling that these subordinates could still be saved after all.

According to the battle plan discussed with Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong quickly said: "This time, our department will send three main regiments to cooperate with the task force to fight out of the city. Secondly, the guard regiment directly under the army will also participate in this offensive operation.

With Shilipu as the focus of the attack, they will send people to contact our department after nightfall. With a main regiment, cooperate with them to launch an attack on Shilipu. Strive to encircle and annihilate the enemy stationed in Shilipu in the shortest possible time.

The rest of the troops, led by me, will set up an ambush in the area of Wangjialing to block the reinforcements sent by the Japanese division. A detailed battle plan will be issued to each regiment according to the battlefield situation. After going down, the regiments quickly prepared for battle! ”

"Junza, you still need to be in command in the city, why don't you let me go to battle this time!"

One of the division commanders was still a little worried when he heard that Yu Xuezhong was going to personally lead his troops into battle. Once Yu Xuezhong has a good deal, the 51st Army is likely to collapse without a fight. It's still dangerous to be on the front line in person!

As a result, Yu Xuezhong still shook his head and said: "You have followed me to fight in the south and the north for many years, how can you see that I am afraid of the enemy and dare not move forward." What's more, tonight's battle is unpredictable, and I personally take command, which is also convenient for the mobilization of troops.

On top of that, the commander of the task force will meet with me outside the city tonight. People help us fight, I don't even have the courage to go out of the city, what will others think? I hope that through this battle, we will be able to correct the name of our Northeast Army, understand? ”

"Yes, Throne!"

Yu Xuezhong, who was born in the Northeast Army, was also a henchman of Zhang Shaoshuai who was placed under house arrest. Joining the combat sequence of the national army, the once prominent Northeast Army also fell apart with the house arrest of Zhang Shaoshuai, and was not very well received by Lao Jiang.

Even if the Northeast Army has a lot of combat power, but after all these years of tossing, the Northeast Army is only better off than other miscellaneous armies. But in terms of food and salary, they are still subject to certain restrictions, and they cannot develop and starve to death.

As the 51st Army began to assemble its troops, looking at the drizzle that began to fall in the evening, Hu Biao, who was waiting in the mountains and ready to go, turned around and said: "Xiao Wu, send a telegram to all departments to comprehensively clean up the Japanese army's warning eyes and ears, and prepare for war!" ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

After the telegram was sent, looking at the reserve company that had been on standby for a long time, Hu Biao said again: "Lao Lei, follow me to attack!" ”

"Yes, detachment leader! Prepare the company, let's go! ”

Through the secret deployment and control of the reconnaissance detachment, the Japanese reconnaissance troops redeployed near Lu'an City have been fully monitored by the reconnaissance detachment. In order to ensure the safety of the 51st Army out of the city, Hu Biao naturally had to deal with these little devil scouts first.

Scouts are also extremely dangerous. In order to ensure the smooth clearance, Hu Biao sent both task forces out. The only ones who remained with Hu Biao this time were a guard platoon and a reserve company that had just been formed.

After receiving the order to set off, the rest of the prisoner of war companies that had assembled and stood by began to march out of the mountains one after another, and under the guidance of the combat members, they began to assemble at the combat site. At this time, the sky had not yet darkened.

When the sky is clear, Hu Biao may have to wait for a while. But since it was raining lightly, Hu Biao believed that the little devil's reconnaissance plane would not dare to take off again. Without the threat of fighter planes, why is Hu Biao afraid of being discovered by the Japanese army?

Although the Japanese divisions were prepared, more troops were deployed to the periphery as defensive alert troops. But for Hu Biao, he didn't need to get rid of the Japanese troops deployed on the periphery, but directly attacked the idea of the main force of the Japanese division.

As the saying goes, no matter how many ways you defend, I will only go all the way, this is the combat plan formulated by Hu Biao. With a main division sent by Yu Xuezhong to help in the battle, Hu Biao believed that if the little devil sent reinforcements, it would only lose his troops in vain.

If the Japanese garrison troops stationed on the periphery of the division stand still and wait for Hu Biao to defeat the main force of the Japanese division, these remaining troops will not need to be cleaned up by Hu Biao at all, and the 51st Army will be able to encircle and annihilate them in Lu'an.

As for the Japanese divisions' intention to retreat, it depends on their luck. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Japanese army can only seek a glimmer of life if they retreat in the direction of Luzhou. On the highway that can be withdrawn to Luzhou, Qin Tianyou has been waiting for a long time.

Even if you can't encircle and annihilate the retreating Japanese army, you can at least bite off a piece of fat. What's more, once the attack is successful, how can the 51st Army, which is good at fighting a tailwind battle, let the little devil escape calmly?

The little devils who have lost their existing temporary camps and formed a rout situation want to escape safely from Lu'an, but I am afraid that it will also become very difficult. During this time, the people in Lu'an gritted their teeth with hatred for the little devils.

Once the people in the territory know that the little devil has lost the battle, I believe that hundreds of people will report to the pursuing 51st Army. When the time comes, these little devils who have escaped will definitely fall into the situation of being endlessly chased and killed.

Whether they can escape in the end depends on their luck! As for tonight's attack, Hu Biao feels that the odds are quite good!

When Hu Biao led the reserve company to Shilipu, the rest of the prisoner of war company also built a blocking position on the periphery of Shilipu. In a short period of time, even if the Japanese army knew that Shilipu had been attacked, it was unlikely that they would rush to support.

When he arrived less than five miles away from Shilipu, Hu Biao also received a telegram from the reconnaissance detachment. The scouts deployed by the Japanese army near Lu'an have been repeatedly eliminated. This also realizes that the little devil will not be able to predict the movements of the 51st Army in advance.

Upon learning of this news, Hu Biao quickly said: "Send a report to General Yu and ask him to start sending troops out of the city." Let Lao Xu send a reconnaissance team to Lu'an City, lead the participating troops of the 51st Army, and enter the predetermined area to standby! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong, who had just had dinner, looked at the sky and said, "So early? ”

"Throne, someone is coming from outside the city! He said he was ordered to guide us out of the city! ”

"Pass my order, each regiment should carry weapons and ammunition and prepare to leave the city!"

Although he was a little curious that Hu Biao decided to do it so early, Yu Xuezhong still knew that this time was similar to dark. While there was still light in the sky, it was relatively safe for the troops to leave the city. Tonight, I can't see the starlight and moonlight!

Although night fighting is the specialty of the anti-Japanese war troops, for the attacking side, it is also necessary to be on guard against possible ambushes at any time. No one knows if they will be ambushed by the little devils when they go to the intended assembly place.

It is equivalent to Xuezhong going out of the city under the protection of the guard regiment directly under him, and met with the combat platoon commander who was ordered to lead the way, only to learn that Hu Biao had solved the scouts deployed outside the city by the little devils before notifying them to leave the city.

Hearing this, Yu Xuezhong also sighed sincerely: "The name of the flying fox is really worthy of its name!" Anticipate the enemy's opportunity, no wonder you can win every battle. It seems that at this point tonight, General Flying Fox already has the belief that he will win! ”

Thinking of Hu Biao's reputation as a 'Flying Fox Wise General', even if he is still a colonel, Yu Xuezhong and most military generals dare not underestimate Hu Biao's strength and influence. After all, Hu Biao has become famous so far, and his record is really amazing!
