In order to ensure the success of the First World War, before formulating the battle plan, Hu Biao also deduced it several times on his own. Considering that the remaining strength of the 13th Division still exists, Hu Biao will need to put more effort and effort into tonight's attack and operation.

Either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, you must play the momentum of plowing and sweeping holes. When Yu Xuezhong led the guard regiment directly under him to Shilipu, Hu Biao also led the guard regiment to personally reconnoiter the enemy situation and collect more accurate information for follow-up operations.

Looking at the simple fortifications built outside the village by the little devil during the day, as well as the scattered houses in the village, Hu Biao also personally calculated the location. And all this, the little devils staying in the village are not clear, and it seems that they are still waiting for the time to eat.

Looking at the curling smoke rising in the village, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "It seems that we chose a good time!" Let's go back! The troops of the 51st Army should also be almost there, and try to send them on their way after they have enough to eat. ”

"If we can be a full ghost, we can be considered benevolent!"

Listening to Hu Biao's words, Tian Tiezhu and the others who stayed beside him also responded with a smile. First of all, the Japanese army in Shilipu was knifed, and it was more because Shilipu was the closest to the Japanese division.

Other areas where the Japanese army was deployed were also used to monitor the defenders in the city and the surrounding roads. As far as the Japanese were concerned, they were actually very worried, and a large army suddenly broke into their defense area, and they did not notice it at all.

But the Japanese army didn't know that when the sky was getting dark, the soldiers they sent to the periphery to reconnoiter were all monitored by another group of scouts. At this time, these scouts deployed outside had already been ordered by Hu Biao to deal with them.

Without these scouts deployed on the periphery, the little devils stationed in the guard camp can only monitor the enemy situation around the station. What happened outside the line of sight, these little devils naturally had no way of knowing, and it was normal for them to be touched under Hu Biao's nose.

Returning to the rear attack position, Hu Biao quickly ordered the construction of artillery positions and adjusted the gun positions to prepare for the artillery bombardment. This time, Hu Biao's courage to attack the Japanese division came more from the large number of artillery captured from the annihilated infantry brigades.

Although from the infantry brigade, Hu Biao did not capture the corresponding shells. But in the temporary camp in Luzhou, Hu Biao also stored a batch of artillery shells. In order to fight this battle, these shells were brought over when the wounded were transported back earlier.

In the final analysis, in fact, this batch of shells was originally supplied to the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, but it was robbed by Hu Biao halfway. Now using these shells to clean up the 13th Division can be regarded as 'returning things to their original owners' in Hu Biao's opinion!

According to different artillery, Hu Biao also formulated different artillery ranges, everything was ready, Hu Biao also asked: "Haven't the reinforcements of the 51st Army arrived yet?" Judging by the time, this should have arrived, right? ”

Just when Hu Biao felt that the 51st Army was moving too slowly, the scout team member in charge of the perimeter guard quickly ran over and said, "Detachment leader, reinforcements have arrived." The leader of the team is their military commander, and he wants to meet you! ”

"It's just in time! Okay, order the troops to enter the position, and wait for my orders! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

With the guards around him, Hu Biao quickly came to the highway, looking at the defenders of the city standing in the rain, Hu Biao felt that the discipline and spirit of this army still looked very good, and it seemed that the combat effectiveness should not be bad.

After the leader of the reconnaissance team who led the way stepped forward to report, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "General Yu, I really didn't expect that you would personally lead the team out of the city to command." However, you've arrived just in time, and you're ready to come and finish it! ”

Listening to Hu Biao's words, Yu Xuezhong said with a shocked face: "End? The battle is over? Why didn't you hear any movement? ”

"So, you're here just in time! There are only about 300 little devils in the village, and they shouldn't last ten minutes. General Yu, if your subordinates don't feel hard, let them enter the offensive position and wait for the general attack order! ”

As soon as these words came out, a colonel beside Yu Xuezhong said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why? Didn't you say that you would cooperate in combat? Listen to your tone as if we were going to listen to you? What is your position? ”

"Xu Hu, don't be presumptuous! Brother Hu, I'm sorry! My subordinates are a little impulsive, please forgive me! ”

"It doesn't matter! I'm in a bit of a hurry! But I only had one night, and when the battle was over tonight, I led my troops away. Therefore, whether or not we can completely defeat the remaining little devils tonight depends on whether our two armies can cooperate closely.

In terms of military rank, I am only a colonel, and I was personally awarded by the chairman of the committee, but I have never received a piece of military salary. But I'm a bit overbearing, and I don't like people to point fingers at me. In fact, you are invited to come here just to wrap up.

In the course of the next battle, I will take some valuable loot. The rest of the booty belongs to your army. Of course, if you don't like it, that's okay. No one has too many weapons, does they? ”

Using the military rank to suppress Hu Biao is undoubtedly a miscalculation. Not to mention that Yu Xuezhong is just a suppressed general of the Northeast Army, even if he is a descendant general of the national army, if Hu Biao doesn't want birds, no one wants to get half a cent from him.

Just when Yu Xuezhong was about to speak, Hu Biao said very directly: "General Yu, time is pressing." If you're interested, check out my offensive position. As for your subordinates, if you're tired, go ahead and rest! ”

Ignoring the angry colonel of the Northeast Army, Hu Biao made a gesture of please, and returned to the artillery position that had been prepared. Looking at the artillery placed in the artillery position, Yu Xuezhong and the colonel were dumbfounded.

"Brother Hu, are all these artillery pieces yours?"

"Naturally! However, if your army can fully cooperate with our troops in the next battle, these artillery pieces may become yours. In fact, I captured all these artillery pieces from the little devils, and I can't take much with me when I leave! ”

Listening to Hu Biao's understatement, Yu Xuezhong said with a happy face: "These artillery, my brother really sent me?" ”

"Before coming to Lu'an, I had already sent General Xu an artillery battalion! I'm going to the front line next, it's not convenient to pull these artillery pieces on the road, and if I leave it to you, I can make the most of it. Of course, Chief Bai should also be interested in these weapons! ”

"Brother, I'm a rough man, don't mind. How to fight this battle tonight, just say it, I will fully cooperate! ”

"Thank you, General! It's not that I'm trying to pinch you, it's that I have to. If we can't work together, how can we talk about cooperation? I believe that the general has also heard some things about me, and his personality is a bit straight, I hope you will forgive me! ”

"Sir, I'm sorry! It was me who was wrong! ”

When Hu Biao finished saying this, the previous colonel Xu Hu, who was glaring angrily, also bowed his head and apologized happily. Xu Hu knew very well that if they had these artillery, the combat effectiveness of the 51st Army would also be doubled.

really Hu Biao, he can't afford this responsibility!

Fortunately, Hu Biao waved his hand directly after hearing this: "No need!" You and I are both soldiers, so it's good to be straightforward! As a subordinate, it is only natural for you to maintain the authority of your superiors. If you really don't keep quiet, I'll look down on you!

It's just that I'm a little special with my troops, not to mention your generals, even if the chairman orders it, it depends on my interests. If I don't want to, his orders are still not valid for me! So, this kind of thing like a military rank is useless to me, understand? ”

"Understood! Thank you, sir! ”

Xu Hu, who was worried that Hu Biao would hold a grudge before, listened to Hu Biao's words, and felt a little grateful in his heart. The reason is very simple, what Hu Biao said before, if people with a heart listen to it, it will also cause big trouble!

Just after Xu Hu thanked him, Hu Biao continued: "If you really understand, then go outside and command the troops!" When the shelling stops, the troops under your command will cooperate with my troops in the final encirclement and annihilation battle.

Take Shilipu, and I will give the order to go straight to the location of the Japanese division in the rear. Therefore, there won't be much time left for you, and if you don't want other troops to steal the limelight, try to keep up with the pace of my attack! ”

"Please rest assured, sir, to ensure that the mission is completed!"

Xu Hu, who had finished saluting Hu Biao, looked at Yu Xuezhong again, but Yu Xuezhong also scolded with a smile: "Go!" The next battle, watch and learn well. It's a blessing for you to be able to learn to fight with General Flying Fox, you know? ”

"Yes, Throne!"

Hu Biao didn't say much about what Xuezhong said, and said directly: "Pillar, prepare!" Shelling for five minutes! As soon as the five minutes came, the attacking troops immediately attacked. Within ten minutes, try to end the battle! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

Listening to Hu Biao's words, Yu Xuezhong was also full of sighs in his heart. Even if there were only two squadrons of little devils stationed in the village in front, he could command the troops to attack instead, and he would not dare to say anything about capturing them in ten minutes.

can look at Hu Biao's expression, attacking such a village seems to have become an appetizer for tonight's battle. And in fact, the little devil who surrounded and annihilated Shilipu was indeed just an appetizer. The real feast is yet to come!

"The gunner is in position! Five minutes of continuous shelling, put! ”

As the artillery commander shouted out the corresponding words one after another, the artillery deployed on the periphery of Shilipu fired shells at the Japanese troops in Shilipu almost at the same time. At this time, there was still some light in the sky, and it was not completely dark.

Many of the little devils who were finishing dinner in the village hid in their houses to rest. When the whistling shells fell from the sky with the drizzle, many of the little devils were completely unresponsive and were blown up in a daze.

Mortars and infantry artillery coordinated with each other, sending out waves of shells. The Japanese troops stationed in Shilipu were suddenly like headless flies, and they could only run around with their heads in their hands, hoping to find a place to hide and escape the threat of deadly shells.

The 51st Army Guard Regiment, which had already lurked into the offensive position, as well as the reserve company and a prisoner of war company under the command of Lei Xiong, all quietly watched the artillery feast. Such a scene is also very difficult for many officers and men of the anti-Japanese war forces to see.

Once upon a time, they were all victims of this feast of artillery fire. And today, they finally have the opportunity to be spectators. Under such intensive artillery fire, how many of the little devils staying in the village could survive in the end?
