Half of the devils in Ningyuan County have been wiped out, and the remaining devils have to defend Ningyuan City, and naturally the troops are insufficient. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although there are still more than 500 puppet troops in the city, once these puppet armies do not go well, it is worth putting a question mark on them to make them ruthless and work for the devils.

After Liu Tianshu asked Qin Yonghe to clean up the battlefield, he immediately moved the main force to Ningyuan City, as for the occupied Jiangqiao Town and Tonggu Town, Liu Tianshu asked him to hand over the New Fourth Army guerrillas active in this area, however, on the side of Yuejiang Town, Liu Tianshu asked him to leave the third battalion there.

At the same time, Liu Tianshu and Su Lan also left Qingyangling and moved their headquarters to the village outside Ningyuan City.

At four o'clock, Liu Tianshu, who was being transferred, received a telegram from Staff Officer Sun, saying that he had successfully entered Bengbu City with a special operations team, and had made contact with the inner line lurking in Bengbu City.

Through the radio, Liu Tianshu asked Staff Officer Sun to make sure to formulate a plan of action and carry out the operation tomorrow night, and at the same time to prevent the enemy from escorting Teacher Du to Nanjing in advance.

This time, in order to ensure the smooth rescue plan, Hu Yezhuan also followed into Bengbu City.

Liu Tianshu and Su Lan rushed to the outside of Ningyuan City, it was already dark, Xie Ping saw the two of them coming over, and immediately greeted them.

"Pingcai, what's the situation now?" When Liu Tianshu saw him, he immediately asked in a deep voice.

"Detachment leader, Ningyuan City has been surrounded by me, however, the enemy's firepower on the city wall is very tenacious, I organized two attacks, and they were both beaten back." Xie Pingcai looked at Liu Tianshu and said.

Liu Tianshu glanced at the sky, looked at Xie Pingcai and said, "Pingcai, in this way, let the artillery concentrate on bombarding the south gate, and at the same time let the troops dig trenches and approach the city gate." The attack was stopped after an hour. Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

If nothing else, the devil's plane will arrive in an hour, and if his troops are still besieging the city at that time, under the blow of the devil's plane, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties.

Therefore, Liu Tianshu prepared to concentrate artillery fire on the south gate, and then let the troops dig communication trenches from four directions to approach the city gate.

Although the devil's plane may come to make trouble, even if he wants to attack Ningyuan City, he is not in a hurry at this time, so once the devil's plane comes, the troops will immediately withdraw for cover.

However, if the Japanese troops from the direction of Huainan or Bengbu came to reinforce them, they could teach themselves a heavy lesson in the field.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." After hearing this, Xie Ping nodded and said.

"Pingcai, what I'm worried about during the day's siege is the devil plane, you have to tell the troops to pay attention to concealment." After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, he motioned to Xie Ping to command the troops.

In last night's battle, the casualties of the Second Regiment were not large, only more than 30 soldiers were killed, and about 40 other soldiers were wounded.

As for the soldiers who died, they had to wait until the battle was over before they were buried.

The 1st and 2nd Battalions, having received the order, immediately began to advance by digging in the earth, and at the same time, four 92nd Infantry guns concentrated at the south gate and bombarded the enemy at the south gate and the city walls.

The Japanese army and the puppet army guarding the city wall of the south gate, after repelling the two attacks of the New Fourth Army, did not expect the New Fourth Army to no longer attack, but bombarded the city wall with artillery fire.

What frightened the enemy even more was that more than a dozen devils guarding the hole in the city gate were beaten like a sieve by the flying fragments, and all but two of them were lucky not to die, and the rest all fell to the ground.

In the ensuing shelling, the south gate tower of Ningyuan City was unfortunately hit by several shells, and the entire city tower collapsed, with more than 20 devils and more than 30 puppet troops directly reimbursed.

Fortunately, the New Fourth Army did not take this opportunity to attack the gap, and the troops sent by Matsui finally filled the gap.

Hearing the roar of airplanes in the distant sky, the soldiers of the New Fourth Army, who were struggling to excavate, immediately withdrew along the communication trenches.

When the devil commander guarding the south gate saw the New Fourth Army withdrawing, he was immediately overjoyed, and ordered a platoon of puppet troops to rush out of the gap and try to fill in the communication trench.

Who knew that as soon as these puppet soldiers rushed to the communication trench of the New Fourth Army, several violent explosions suddenly sounded, seven or eight puppet soldiers were blown into the air, and the rest of the puppet troops were so frightened that they hurriedly ran back.

It turned out that when the New Fourth Army withdrew from the traffic trench, it planted a mine in it, and the puppet army that rushed into the traffic trench unfortunately stepped on it, and was immediately blown up to the point of crying wolf.

After discovering that the New Fourth Army had planted mines in the communication trenches, the devil commander no longer dared to send people out to fill the trenches.

The devil's plane rushed to the outside of Ningyuan City, but found that it was calm below, and searched a few times in the sky, but it didn't even find the shadow of the New Fourth Army.

In desperation, I had to report to Matsui, turned around and flew back.

Matsui learned that the New Fourth Army had stopped attacking, and after hearing the report of the plane, he originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to go out of the city, but unfortunately he had too few troops in his hands, so he hesitated again and again, and still stuck to the county seat and waited for the wing commander to send reinforcements.

According to the reply of the wing commander, a brigade of Japanese troops, with the cooperation of more than 800 puppet troops, had come out of Huainan and were rushing to Ningyuan County.

A large group of Japanese troops, this is all the strength that the Huainan Japanese army can squeeze out.

Liu Tianshu received a report that the Japanese army in Huainan had come to reinforce him, and immediately called Xie Pingcai, Jiang Xianhua, and Qin Yonghe over.

"What? The Japanese army in Huainan dispatched a brigade? Xie Ping couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.

With a large group of Japanese troops and more than 800 puppet troops, the enemy's reinforcements are too strong. Although his second regiment was equal in number to the Japanese reinforcements, first, his troops were very tired from the fierce battle in the middle of the night last night, and second, there were still more than 1,000 enemies in Ningyuancheng County.

When Qin Yonghe introduced the situation to the detachment leader, he was thinking nervously in his head.

Last night, he used artillery fire to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, which made him suddenly discover a new way of fighting, if he could concentrate artillery fire and heavy machine guns, and launch a fierce attack on the reinforced enemy, even if there were many enemies, I am afraid that he would be overwhelmed.

"Detachment leader, why don't we concentrate all the artillery and teach the devil's reinforcements a lesson?" Qin Yonghe looked at Liu Tianshu and said.

This time to the north, the mortar company carried a lot of shells, even the artillery company below the second regiment, also brought enough shells, last night's battle consumed a third, and the remaining shells can still last two battles.

It's just that last night two squadrons of Matsui were knocked out, but the capture was not ideal, more than twenty rounds of infantry shells were captured, and most of the rest of the weapons and ammunition were blown up in the shelling.

Suffice it to say that the captured ammunition is not enough to cover the consumed ammunition.

"Yonghe's suggestion is good, but where to teach the enemy a lesson, this needs to be carefully considered." Liu Tianshu nodded.

According to the intelligence, the enemy who came to reinforce Huainan all took a car, so if it went well, they would arrive at Yuejiang Town in two hours. After three hours, you can rush to Ningyuan City.

"Detachment leader, the enemy is coming by car, the big river dam is the only way to go, there is an open terrain, there is a mountain next to it, we can arrange the artillery on the mountain ridge, and when the enemy's convoy enters the big river dam, we will immediately bombard, so that we will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the devil." Xie Pingcai pointed to the big river dam.

When Liu Tianshu heard this, he stared at the big river dam on the map, thought carefully in his mind for a while, and nodded: "Okay, let's teach the devil a lesson in the big river dam." Ping Cai immediately ordered the artillery to quickly rush to the ridge on the side of the Dahe Dam, and as soon as the devil convoy entered the Dahe Dam, immediately carry out a ten-minute saturation shelling, and then immediately withdraw from the position and move in the direction of Li Ziwan. ”

The big river dam is between Longwangmiao and Yuejiang Town, that is, in order to buy time for the artillery, the three battalions left in Yuejiang Town still have to block the enemy.

However, according to Liu Tianshu's meaning, the third battalion did not collide with the enemy, but two companies attacked in turn, trying to slow down the enemy.

Subsequently, the artillery surrounding Ningyuan City quickly withdrew from its position and advanced rapidly in the direction of Daheba.

In order to ensure the smooth operation, Qin Yonghe personally commanded the troops.

The enemy who had sent reinforcements from Huainan was attacked by three battalions and one company before they reached Yuejiang Town, but the company that was lying in ambush on the side of the road opened fierce fire on the devils for five minutes, and when the enemy reacted and its artillery was ready to counterattack, they immediately withdrew back, so that the devils who were ready to fight a battle with the New Fourth Army were very discouraged.

Although this attack only lasted for a few minutes, it made the devil stay in place for more than half an hour.

After finally continuing to move forward, several shells suddenly flew from one side, and the car in front was unfortunately hit, and then exploded, and the soldiers on the car suffered heavy casualties.

Since arriving in Yuejiang Town, the attacks of the New Fourth Army have emerged in an endless stream, and in various ways, making the devils who are eager for reinforcements unable to guard against it.

Later, the Japanese captain who was ordered to reinforce was heartbroken and ordered two squads of soldiers to search and advance on both flanks. Although the speed was slower, the losses caused by the New Fourth Army's attack were reduced.

Soon after passing the town of Yuejiang, the attack of the New Fourth Army suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, Matsui from the county seat of Ningyuan sent a telegram saying that the New Fourth Army besieging outside the city seemed to have withdrawn.

Knowing that the New Fourth Army might be withdrawn, the Japanese captain couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little regretful, you know, this time he was ordered to reinforce Ningyuan County, but he wanted to fight a good battle with the New Fourth Army, so that these New Fourth Army, who did not know the height of the sky, knew the strength of the Imperial Army.

Because according to intelligence, it is very likely that it will be Liu Tianshu's seventh detachment that attacked Ningyuan County.

If he can severely damage Liu Tianshu's seventh detachment, what a glory.

Thinking of this, the Japanese army captain's eyes looked in the direction of Wangjiadian. (To be continued.) )
