Chapter 249: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

When he learned that Liang Song had annihilated a battalion of the British with a squadron of 200 people, killing nearly 200 people and capturing more than 300 people, Bai Mu was also a little surprised.

"Commander Zhou, your Second Army is really talented." Bai Mu praised.

"The White Army Commander has an overreputation, if it were the First Army, it would have been the same, we were just lucky to have it." Zhou Ze said modestly, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

Liang Song, this guy is really good, very good, this joint operation got off to a good start all of a sudden, and gave the Second Army a long face.

Bai Mu praised Liang Song a few more words, everyone is a national defense force system, a brother army, Bai Mu as the commander-in-chief of this operation is naturally happy.

"Captain Zhong, tell me about the information you got." Speaking of business, Bai Mu immediately said solemnly.

Immediately, two guards stretched out their raincoats and took out the map, and the group looked at the map under the raincoat, while Zhong Haiyang pointed on the map and said in a deep voice:

"Commander, please look here, this is Jianning City. It is Zheng Zhilong's hometown. Thirty miles east of Jianning was an abandoned barracks where 10,000 men of the British were assembled and put on standby. In addition, looking at this place, it is about fifty miles away from this abandoned military camp stronghold, and the British still have 10,000 men assembled here to stand by. ”

"According to intelligence, this operation was carried out by the British alone, behind Zheng Zhilong's back.

So they secretly assembled here, and Zheng Jiajun didn't know about it.

According to the plan of the British, they planned to attack Wenzhou City with 10,000 men here, then attract us to the rescue, and then ambush us with another 10,000 men on the way.

The main task of this reconnaissance battalion, which we had just annihilated, was the outpost of 10,000 British troops attacking Wenzhou City, and its main task was to conduct reconnaissance and clear the threat along the way, and then set up fire points on the prominent heights on both sides of this official road to block our reinforcements. By the way, they are the same British mercenaries that they encountered with the Second Army last time, and the commander seems to be called David. ”

Zhong Haiyang pointed to the map and whispered the information he had received from the British captives to the map one by one.

It was confirmed that it was the mercenary army that was encountered last time, and the whole of the second army, including the regiment commander Zhou Ze, suddenly became a little murderous.

The greatest wish of the Second Army at this stage is to kill all this British mercenary army and avenge the fallen brothers.

After Zhong Haiyang finished speaking, he stepped aside, he was only the leader of the reconnaissance squadron responsible for obtaining information, and as for how to fight this battle in the future, it was not something he could participate in.

Bai Mu's gaze swept over the map a few times and then turned to Zhou Ze on the side: "Head Zhou, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Ze stared at the map and said: "Commander Bai, I think that since we have now mastered the battle plan of the British, and the British do not know the news that we have increased our troops, then we can use this advantage to make a plan and catch a turtle in the urn." ”

Although Zhou Ze didn't elaborate, Bai Mu already understood what he meant.

Since the target of the British is Wenzhou City, then use Wenzhou City to attract their attention, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness to counterattack.

After thinking for a while, Bai Mu had already made up his mind and looked at Zhou Ze.

Looking at Bai Mu's gaze, Zhou Ze already understood what Bai Mu meant, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Bai, our second regiment is willing to act as a bait and cooperate with the First Army to eliminate this British army." ”

Bai Mu is not hypocritical, after all, the second regiment is not his men, if he fights with the first army, there will be less tacit understanding in cooperation.

But if you let them act as bait and go it alone, then the problem will be solved.

"Well, now we need to consider where the other 10,000 Britons are now. What would I do now if I were a British commander? ”

After Bai Mu pondered for a while, he quickly came to a conclusion.

The 20,000 British belonged to two armies, one was responsible for feinting Wenzhou City, and the other was responsible for setting up ambushes and reinforcements. Then they should cooperate closely, and the distance between them should not be too far.

It is very likely that the two armies have begun to converge now, and they will be dispatched as soon as they receive the news of the reconnaissance battalion here.

This place is less than thirty miles away from Wenzhou City, and Bai Mu quickly made a decision.

"Head Zhou, you take your people to Wenzhou City to assist in defense first. Our First Army was responsible for setting up an ambush outside the city and encircling the British from the outside.

The 47th Army would be in ambush in this place, and after the British who were waiting for reinforcements to enter the position, they would attack from behind them and take the British by surprise. ”

Zhou Ze nodded and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

After finishing speaking, he quickly gave the order, and all the men and horses of the second regiment followed Zhou Ze and immediately set off towards Wenzhou City.

After the second regiment left, Bai Mu sent someone to report the situation to Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 47th Army, and asked him to lead the 47th Army into the designated position to ambush.

After doing all this, Bai Mu had a few more British prisoners brought.

The rank mark of the Wehrmacht is very similar to that of the British army, and these prisoners looked at Bai Mu and knew that he was a general, and they all shouted excitedly.

Bai Mu frowned and asked, "What are they talking about?" ”

Duan Peng, the captain of the reconnaissance team on the side, said: "They said that they asked His Excellency the General to give them the treatment that the prisoners should have, they are very hungry and sleepy now, and they hope to get food and dry and warm clothes." ”

"Whimsical, I haven't realized it at all when I've been taken prisoner. Tell them that as long as they cooperate and obey, they will have food to eat and dry clothes to wear. Otherwise, not only will you have no food, but you may not even be able to save your life. ”

Bai Mu said to Duan Peng.

Duan Peng translated Bai Mu's words, and the British prisoners were obviously a little scared, and involuntarily shrank back and looked at Bai Mu in fear.

They could feel a strong murderous aura and majesty from Bai Mu, so they didn't dare to scream anymore and obediently shut their mouths.

"Tell them to go back and report to their commander, just say that they have successfully completed the mission, and Wenzhou City is currently guarded by only one regiment, let their commander come and attack Wenzhou as soon as possible." Bai Mu saw that they were honest, so he instructed Duan Peng.

Duan Peng translated the past truthfully.

As a result, a guy with the rank of lieutenant shouted when he heard this, and his expression looked very indignant.

"Commander, he said they can't do this kind of deception to their commanders, it's blackmail, it's a lie, they're gentlemen, they can't do this kind of thing." Duan Peng translated expressionlessly, and he already mourned for this Englishman in his heart.

What kind of character their military commanders have, these British guys haven't figured it out yet.

Sure enough, Bai Mu sneered, the long sword on his waist was already unsheathed, the sword light flashed, the blood mist was filled, and the head of the British lieutenant had already flown out.

After a few seconds, the headless corpse fell to the muddy ground with a thud.

Several other British prisoners were already frightened by this scene, and their faces were bloodless, and their mouths were tightly closed.

"Tell them that whoever is making noise is the end. Go or die. Bai Mu returned the sword into the sheath and said coldly.

In the military regulations of the Wehrmacht, there is no prohibition on the unauthorized killing of prisoners.

For the obedient and cooperative captives, nature is kind. For those who have not yet realized themselves as prisoners, there is no need to be polite.

Not to mention this group of foreign robbers from foreign lands.
