Chapter 104: The Great Army Arrives!
Zhao Tiehu and his entourage, who entered the city at noon and left in the evening, basically explored the situation in Yushe City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 All that's left to do is make a battle plan and attack.
According to the information provided by the underground transportation station, there are really not many troops in Yushe City today. In addition to one squadron of Japanese troops left behind, there were more than 200 puppet soldiers to assist in the defense. At night, the Japanese army still adopted a strict policy of curfew throughout the city.
Once the curfew is imposed, realize that you can't go out at night. If it is seen by the patrolling Japanese puppet army, it can only be said that it is good luck to be caught. Many times, for the people who violate the curfew, the patrol devils will often be shot to death.
Zhao Tiehu, who left Yushe City and returned to the woodland, quickly called a meeting of the officers under his command. Considering the speed of the soldiers, Zhao Tiehu made a quick decision and decided to launch a surprise attack tonight. In this case, there will be no variables.
Looking at the serious expressions of his subordinate officers, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Tonight, I will lead the assault detachment and enter Yushe City in disguise. As long as the raid is successful, I believe we can end the battle in an hour.
Considering that it takes time to clean up the battlefield, the big army of the little devils is in Xinguan again, and it is not too far from here. If you march in a hurry, you are afraid that in about two hours, you will be able to rush back to reinforcements. So tonight's actions will be different.
During the reconnaissance earlier, I had already found the location of the Japanese radio station. At the beginning of the siege of the city, I will lead the assault detachment to storm the headquarters of the little devils, control the radio station of the Japanese army, and prevent it from sending telegrams asking for help.
If they are asked to send out calls for help, then our combat deployment will need to make some adjustments. But either way, this is a rare opportunity and we have to make sure that the action goes smoothly and we have another good fight. ”
'Yes, Captain! If there is any command, just say it! ’
If everyone was still a little worried before, after listening to the enemy situation that Zhao Tiehu reconnoitred back, everyone's confidence has recovered a lot. What's more, this time there is also a battalion of large troops to cooperate, and the chance of success is undoubtedly greater.
'Good! Liu Cheng immediately sent someone back to the battalion headquarters and asked the battalion commander to bring the troops participating in the battle. In addition, remember to tell the battalion commander that when marching, try to choose some hidden paths, and beware of the eyeliner set up by the little devils in the base area.
When they arrive outside the city, you lead the artillery team to cooperate. Remember, you just need to make a big noise at the gates. The troops must not be allowed to attack, then the casualties will be too great, understand? ’
Yes, I see! I'll let the messenger ride back now to report the news! ’
Recruit two messengers and ask them to return to the battalion headquarters immediately to inform the news, and strive to rush to Yushe City as soon as possible. And Zhao Tiehu and several detachment leaders successively issued operational instructions and orders.
Everything was ready, and Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Now start making a fire to cook, rest for two hours, and then we will set off." If we succeed tonight, I believe we can live a good life for a while.
At least until the Japanese army did not send a large number of troops to Yushe, I believe that the remaining little devils would never dare to enter our base area again. When their large army arrived, we believed that our strength had improved a lot.
If this goes on for a long time, I believe that in the end, it will be the little devil who can't stand it. No matter how bad we are, when the time comes, we will retreat into the mountains, and we will be treated like little devils. But they can't, and if there are more troops from other places, there will be problems in other places as well. ”
After briefly telling everyone about the possible benefits of attacking the county seat, all the officers seemed very happy. In their opinion, fighting such a battle in the county seat is really the first time in their lives for many of them!
Compared with Zhao Tiehu and his entourage, the two communicators who began to bury the pot to cook and prepare to recuperate and rest, and rode back to the battalion headquarters to report the news, quickly reported Zhao Tiehu's decision to attack tonight.
'Attack tonight?' Wouldn't this kid seem too hasty? ’
Even if he had ordered the troops to be ready to open at any time, but when he heard that Zhao Tiehu, who had just returned to the army this morning, had decided to start a siege battle tonight, Qian Weizhong still looked a little worried, for fear that something would happen.
Once the siege operation fails, then for the first battalion, the strength will also be severely damaged. With these family funds that he has saved with great difficulty, Qian Weizhong is really afraid that he will be lost. But he also knows that once successful, the benefits will be huge!
Instructor Zhou Bixue, who heard him say this, said with a smile: "Old Qian, I think the plan of this kid Tiehu is feasible. As the saying goes, soldiers are fast, take advantage of the emptiness in the little devil city, and immediately launch an attack, and the certainty of victory is greater.
If it is really delayed for two days, it is estimated that the little devil will mobilize reinforcements from other places. If that's the case, even if we want to hit the county seat, it is unlikely that we will be able to do so. I'm watching at home, you can go over and sit in town in person! ”
'Good! Then you will work hard at home, and I will go and notify the three companies to open the dial now! ’
Qian Weizhong, who had given the order to prepare for war in advance, did not long send a messenger from the battalion headquarters to the three companies closest to the county seat to deliver messages. With the order given, the three companies also rushed to Yushe City overnight.
Although many fighters did not know, the company drove overnight to figure out what the hell was doing. But as the three companies converged, some soldiers were surprised: "Isn't this the way to the county seat?" Are we going to fight the county seat? ”
In response to the exclamations of these soldiers, the platoon commander in charge of the command also said in a timely manner: "Don't talk to each other, keep quiet, and hurry up!" ”
The officers, who didn't explain much, also looked a little apprehensive about tonight's battle. But as officers, they all understand that as long as the combat orders issued from above, they must carry them out unconditionally.
When the troops marched all the way and arrived at the woods three miles outside Yushe City, Liu Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, also stepped forward in time and said: "Battalion commander, company commander, you are here!" ”
'Liu Cheng, why are you?' What about the Iron Tiger? ’
'Battalion commander, the captain has entered the city. I'll stay here and wait to cooperate with you in the siege. As soon as our side starts to attack the city, the captain will lead the troops that have infiltrated the city and storm the headquarters of the little devils. ’
After telling Qian Weizhong about the battle plan formulated by Zhao Tiehu, Qian Weizhong also said helplessly: "This guy is really not afraid of death." With such a few people, he dared to attack the command headquarters of the little devil, and he was really a little devil! ”
"Battalion commander, the captain led people to attack the headquarters of the little devils, also to buy us time to transfer. It's not far from Xinguan here, and once the little devils send a telegram asking for help, the little devils stationed in Xinguan will come quickly.
In this case, there is not much time left for us to transfer. The captain's meaning, the three companies that came tonight, one company was responsible for building fortifications outside the city in case of accidents, and the other two companies were responsible for feints to attract firepower.
And on my side, I brought two mortars, and when the siege is time, I believe it can also scare the little devils. There are still quite a few shells, and the captain means that he would rather shoot more shells than let our soldiers die innocently. ’
As soon as Liu Cheng's words came out, one of the three company commanders who cooperated with the battle said in surprise: "You can!" Even mortars are there! It seems that during this time, you Hutou Mountain has really made a fortune! ”
This is called getting rich! It's just that some loot has been captured! If we hadn't taken it away, we blew up a few mortars when we hit Xinguan the previous time! Speaking of which, it's really a pity! ’
Looking at Chen Shanming, the commander of the second company with an envious face, Liu Cheng also smiled and showed off. After laughing, Qian Weizhong thought for a while and said: "The first and second companies feinted with me, and the third company fought to block the attack, do you have any opinions?" ”
'Yes, resolutely obey orders!' ’
The three companies brought this time, in terms of strength, are undoubtedly the strongest in combat. If the attack is blocked, even if the little devil sends troops to support, I believe that the third company will be able to hold out for a longer time.
After everything was arranged, Zhu Chengxi, the commander of the third company, led hundreds of soldiers of the company and began to build blocking fortifications outside the city. As for the location of the blockade, Liu Cheng naturally chose it in advance, and they only needed to strengthen the fortifications.
The remaining two companies, under the leadership of Liu Cheng, began to march towards Yushe City. Even if they marched all the way, everyone didn't have time to rest for too long. But Qian Weizhong also knew that there was not much time left for them.
If they can't move before dawn, then they risk being bitten by the little devils. If that happens, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for the first battalion. Therefore, time is now very precious.
The two companies did not divide their troops, and under the leadership of Liu Cheng, they came to the south gate of Yushe City. Compared with the east gate of the Yushe, it is undoubtedly easier to fight. Even though there is also a city wall, the height of the city wall is much shorter than that of the east gate.
When the troops launched an offensive formation, Qian Weizhong looked at the Japanese puppet army walking back and forth on the city wall, and his expression also looked a little grim. If he hadn't believed in Zhao Tiehu's ability, I was afraid that he wouldn't have done such a crazy thing at all.
After all, with more than 300 troops, there are no heavy weapons in hand. Fighting a county town that is also stationed in a puppet army for three or four hundred days and has strong city fortifications is indeed a bit of an egg touching a stone, no different from looking for death!
