After Sun Yumin received the telegram from the Fifth War Zone, he stood in front of the map for a long time without saying a word.

The previously drawn up plan to divide the troops into two routes to take Qufu and Zou Cheng could no longer be used, because no matter whether it was the 117th or 118th Regiment, it was impossible to face the Japanese field brigade with armored vehicles and various artillery pieces alone.

Now the devils and puppet troops who are blocked by the newly formed regiment near the head of the post are constantly attacking the position, and Jining has not yet officially attacked the city, the troops of the Seya Brigade have already set off, if they can't eat these two enemies before they arrive, the 20th Division will definitely break their stomachs and end up with the whole army annihilated.

At this point, Sun Yumin could no longer have the slightest hesitation, and he said to Tang Chunhong, who was waiting for the order to record: "Send a report to each ministry separately, ordering: Deng Dongping's division of the 117th Regiment of the 59th Brigade will hold on to Gunzhou, immediately build various fortifications, and repair the old city wall." Li Tie Dan led the 118th Regiment to turn back to the head of the post at a speed, and from the rear to pick up the reinforcements from the Devil Gunzhou who were attacking the defense line of the newly formed regiment, and must end the battle within five hours. Zhang Xiaohu of the 58th Brigade led the 116th Regiment to hold on to Wenshang, ready to respond to the battle in Gunzhou at any time; The 115th Regiment of Lai Wenli, the Artillery Regiment Qiu Zehua, and the Guard Regiment Lin Yuanping immediately launched a general attack on Jining City, which must be taken within three hours. ”

Tang Chunhong quickly recorded it, repeated it again, and asked, "Master, is there anything else to add?" ”

Sun Yumin thought for a while and said: "Tell Deng Dongping to defend the city of Gunzhou, the result of this battle depends on whether he can hold on, if he wins a big victory, the position of the commander of the 60th Brigade is waiting for him." ”

This expedition was without Liu Wenzhi's assistance, he really felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he had long planned to take Liu Wenzhi with him all the time, and the commander of the 60th Brigade would not let him take it even if there was no one else.

After Sun Yumin waited for Tang Chunhong to go out, he said to Dong Wenbin, who was looking at the map in the temporary war room: "Inform the new Third Regiment and your troops to prepare to go." ”

Dong Wenbin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?" Division. ”

"Jining." Sun Yumin lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, spit out a series of smoke rings, and said lightly.

……

……

When Lai Wenli received the telegram, he thought he had made a mistake, and he summoned several battalion commanders under his command and the commanders of the companies directly under him, as well as Qiu Zehua, commander of the first battalion of the artillery regiment, and Lin Yuanping, commander of the first battalion of the guard regiment, to hold a meeting together.

He handed over the order he had just received to everyone and circulated it, and said: "Everyone, the previous division seat was for us to surround but not fight, and after only one day's work, the order was changed, let us take Jining quickly." This shows that the battle situation has changed drastically, otherwise with the character of the division, there would not be a limit in the order when we should take Jining. ”

As a person from the second battalion, Lai Wenli is very clear about the personality of the division commander, he is a person who loves soldiers like a son, if it were not for his last resort, he would not have given such a time-limited order. You must know that whether the time-limited order is to hold or attack, it needs to be filled with human lives, and it is filled without counting casualties.

Except for Lin Yuanping, all of them were veterans, so they didn't know what this order meant.

Dai Cunxiang stood up and said: "Regiment commander, my first battalion is the sharp knife of the 115th regiment, let me take the lead, and let the other brothers battalion when the first battalion is exhausted." ”

Liu Jiewei, the commander of the second battalion, also stood up and said: "Regiment commander, the first battalion has already fought two battles in a row, let us go to the second battalion this time, I will fight to the death to step a bloody road for the brother battalion!" ”

Lai Wenli frowned, lowered his head and thought about the offensive method, ignoring the two battalion commanders who had expressed their positions one after another.

"Battalion Commander Chen, where is the loot we captured from our attack on Juye now?" It was Lin Yuanping who spoke, and he asked Chen Jian, the commander of the third battalion, who had not spoken.

"In my case, our battalion has always been at the back of the march, so the baggage and seizures are taken care of by our battalion." Chen Jian had been thinking about how to let the third battalion escape the hurdle of the first battle, and was suddenly stunned by Lin Yuanping's sudden question, but fortunately, he was clever enough to answer his words immediately, and after finishing speaking, he also secretly glanced at the head of the regiment, and saw that there was no expression on his face, so he relieved himself and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Yuanping saw that everyone's eyes were turned to him, so he simply stood up and said, "Commander Lai, isn't the Japanese puppet army in Jining City waiting for help?" It just so happens that we have a batch of captured Japanese puppet army equipment, pretending to be reinforcements from the direction of Gunzhou, can't we enter the city openly? ”

As soon as this suggestion came out, Lai Wenli bounced up from the stool, grabbed Lin Yuanping's shoulder and said, "Good brother, you have a good move!" It's just great! ”

Lin Yuanping was shaken by him so that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he hurriedly said, "Lai, let me go." ”

Lai Wenli quickly let go of his hands, did not get angry because he was scolded, and said to Lin Yuanping with a smile: "Good brother, quickly talk about how to take specific actions." ”

"Don't call me a nickname?" Lin Yuanping couldn't change his face like a flip book, Lai Wenli stammered, he usually called himself a "half-devil" louder than anyone else, but now that he has a request for himself, he called "brother" hotly.

"No more screaming, no more screaming! As long as you can help me conquer Jining City, you will be my brother in the future! Lai Wenli was busy stuttering.

Lin Yuanping's half of the Japanese blood made him very embarrassed in Sun Yumin's small group, saying that he was not a core member of Sun Yumin, and that Lin Yuanping was in charge of even the guard battalion and even the personal guards, saying that he was, every time Li Tiedan, Zhang Xiaohu and even Deng Dongping and Lai Wenli saw him, they were all half-devils, and they all looked at each other angrily, only Sun Yumin and Liu Wenzhi were normal to him, and the only person who was good to him was probably Dong Wenbin, When Xiao Yuying saw him, he was like the king of Hades seeing a little ghost, he was simply bullying him to death, so Lin Yuanping had been waiting for an opportunity for them to change their opinion of themselves.

Now, here's that opportunity.

Lin Yuanping took his guard battalion to change into devil uniforms, Dai Cunxiang took his battalion to change into the clothes of the puppet army, and the previously captured Japanese puppet army weapons are now also handy.

After all the people changed their clothes, they were a mixed Japanese and pseudo-Japanese army, especially Lin Yuanping, wearing the rank of captain and holding a katana obliquely, he was simply a devil officer.

Lai Wenli walked up to him, patted Lin Yuanping's head, and said: "Half-devil, you must pay attention to safety, how to go, just give me back as it is, and you can't lose a single hair!" ”

Lin Yuanping heard Lai Wenli call him a "half-devil", and just wanted to get angry, but then he heard the words behind him, and his heart was suddenly moved. He held Lai Wenli's hand and said, "When you are acting, let the brothers not release their guns all in the sky, the devils in the city will see it." ”

Lai Wenli was stunned for a moment and asked, "What should I do then?" Is it really a fight? ”

Lin Yuanping nodded and stopped talking.

"No, although you are wearing devil clothes, but how can I do it, they are all my brothers." Lai Wenli did not agree, he tried to persuade this "half-devil" to do things categorically.

"The kindness of a woman!" Lin Yuanping threw out this sentence and continued: "If you want me and your first battalion commander to be wiped out before we enter the city, then just let the gun go to the sky!" ”

After he said this, with a wave of his hand, he went out of the city with his troops, the guard battalion dressed and equipped with Japanese soldiers, and they were going to disguise themselves as reinforcements from the direction of Gunzhou.

Dai Cunxiang also led his troops to follow the guard battalion, and when he passed by Lai Wenli's side, he said softly: "Regiment Commander, what Battalion Commander Lin said is right, the devil is watching from the city tower, if you don't come to the truth, I'm really afraid that they will see it, and if something happens then, it's too late to regret it." ”

Fujiwara was very proud when he received reinforcements from all over the place, and he was very proud when he was about to hurry, especially after receiving the order from Seya himself, his vanity and self-confidence exploded like never before.

The Chinese army under the castle launched two attacks, both of which were quickly repulsed, which made Fujiwara even more contemptuous of the besieging forces.

Huang Xiaojun, the puppet brigade commander, squinted at his dead fish eyes, and said flatteringly to Fujiwara, who was holding a telescope and looking at the trenches outside the city: "Fujiwara Taijun, these national troops dare not attack if they have artillery, do you want to play around Jining City?" ”

The translator translated the words to Fujiwara, and he laughed twice: "Haha, the Chinese army has always been like this, every time the city is besieged with heavy troops, every time it is counter-surrounded, this army is no exception, as long as we wait for reinforcements, then their death time will come." ”

Perhaps Fujiwara looked down on Huang Xiaojun, who was already a major general and brigade commander, and after saying this, he turned around and left, leaving Huang Xiaojun, the pseudo brigade commander who had been smiling all the time, to stay on the castle tower.

As soon as he walked down the castle tower, he suddenly heard the fierce gunfire outside the northern city, Fujiwara heard it clearly, not only the Chinese army's Makqin and Czech-style, medium-formal gunfire, the imperial army's Type 97 heavy machine gun that was unique to the "c......lucking" sound, as well as the grenadier grenade throwing grenades and grenades "Boom" sound, very clearly into his ears, Fujiwara snorted, with a few officers to run to the north city.

Standing on the castle tower, Fujiwara could see clearly that the mixed forces of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army, which numbered more than 1,000 people, were attacking the Chinese army that had set up two lines of defense outside the northern city.

In the telescope, several Imperial Army soldiers were swept to the ground by Maxim machine guns, and the blood sprayed after being hit by bullets was scattered to the ground. The trenches of the Chinese army were constantly hit by grenades thrown from grenades, and from time to time Chinese soldiers could be seen flying out of the trenches along with the dirt.

Fujiwara was very cautious when he first went up to the castle tower, he did not receive any telegram or walkie-talkie news that reinforcements had arrived, and the cars of these reinforcements did not see, although it was only a few dozen kilometers from Gunzhou to Jining, but there was no means of transportation, and it was impossible to arrive in such a short time on foot.

The previous suspicions quickly dissipated as the Imperial Army and Chinese soldiers who kept falling in the telescope, and Fujiwara did not hesitate at all, and shouted loudly: "Koizumi's squadron went out of the city to assist the reinforcements in attacking the Shina position, and ordered Huang Xiaojun's troops to send a regiment to attack from the south city. ”

"Hey." The two Japanese lieutenants went separately, one to assemble the troops, and the other to inform Huang Xiaojun of the Seventh Independent Brigade of the puppet army.

Lai Wenli saw his soldiers and Lin Yuanping's soldiers killing each other, his heart trembled with pain, and his fisted hands smashed the skin on the tree, although he knew that this was the only way to minimize the casualties of the troops, but watching more than a dozen soldiers die at the hands of his own people still made him a little unacceptable.

The hard work paid off, the closed gate of the Beicheng City finally opened, and at least a squadron of devil soldiers swarmed out and launched a fierce attack in the direction of the trench, Lai Wenli shouted Okay, just wanted to order the whole regiment to assault, but suddenly remembered what Sun Yumin said: Think twice before doing anything. He picked up the telescope on the ground and looked up the city tower, only to see that all the heavy fire on the city tower was aimed at the three or four meters wide city gate.

Lai Wenli was frightened by this scene, and shouted in his heart that he was lucky, if he ordered the whole regiment to assault just now, not only would he not be able to capture Jining City, but even Lin Yuanping and Dai Cunxiang's two battalions that were preparing to enter the city would die at the gate of the city.

Looking at the devil soldiers who rushed out of the city, Lai Wenli spat at the mouth, very angry and regretful, these two or three hundred devil soldiers gave up in vain, it was a pity.

Lai Wenliden understood the plan of the devil in the city, this cunning old fox, that is, worried that it was not a real reinforcement and was afraid that people were indeed real reinforcements, so after sending a receiving force, he arranged a considerable amount of firepower to guard, and at the same time sent a force at the south gate, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to defeat his own troops in one fell swoop, and at the same time open a life channel for all the Japanese puppet troops in the city.

Kill three birds with one stone! High, really high!

Lai Wenli admired this devil commander's ability to adapt to changes and his interlocking tactical command strength.

The devils who were rushing closer and closer here, and the gunfire in Nancheng was getting denser and denser, and he couldn't help but think about it anymore, Lai Wenli immediately decided, and he shouted loudly: "Retreat, support Nancheng." ”

Although the 115th Regiment did not fight a major battle in the era of Sun Tongxuan, the brand of the full division and the first division was placed here, and the military quality and individual ability were second to none in the 12th Army and even the 3rd Army. After receiving Lai Wenli's instructions, the officers and men retreated from the trenches and positions very quickly, and although they were in a hurry, they were in good order and did not panic.

Sun Yumin took the new third regiment and the other two battalions of the guard regiment with the task of the reserve, and when he was about to arrive outside the city of Jining, he heard the sound of gunfire and shouting from a distance, and he thought that his troops were attacking the city, so he made such a big movement, but he did not expect that the front of the first exploration of the way platoon sent someone to report: "The puppet army at the south gate took the initiative to go out of the city to attack the 114th regiment, and there was also an exciting battle at the north gate. ”

Sun Yumin didn't know what Tie Niu was doing, so he immediately ordered Huang Baisheng, the commander of the second battalion of the guard regiment, to take his own troops and a battalion of the newly formed third regiment to immediately go to the aid, and at the same time ordered Lai Wenli, the commander of the 115th regiment, to come to the temporary division headquarters as soon as possible.

Under the attack of Lin Yuanping and the devil soldiers in the city, they retreated very quickly, and a lot of ammunition was abandoned in the trenches. Neither of the two sides pursued the rout, which had lost their combat effectiveness, but huddled together and retreated into Jining City.

With the fresh army sent by Sun Yumin, the puppet army that went out of the city in Nancheng was beaten back to Jining City after throwing the corpses on the ground, fortunately, the devils on the city tower closed the city gate early, otherwise Huang Baisheng and Zhao Youqian would definitely lead their troops to rush into the city together, and the 1200 puppet troops who were stopped outside the door were cornered, and raised their guns above their heads one by one, and came to surrender in a gloomy manner.
