Five days later, Lu Chigou, twenty miles away from Yongle Town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Tianshu was in a thatched house under a big tree in the ditch, looking at the map and studying the enemy situation in Yongle Town.

The Outer Line Combat Corps led by him quietly came to a small ravine in the Changlai Mountains five days ago.

After the main force of the Sakai Brigade withdrew from the base area, it immediately stopped at the front line of Chengou, and Sakai, accompanied by several officers, walked into the Chengou Group, which had been beaten to the ground, and saw the bombed ammunition depot in ruins, full of wood burned into black charcoal, and under the broken bricks and tiles, the limbs of occasionally charred people could be seen.

The ammunition stored inside was detonated, and its power was no less than that of heavy artillery bombardment, and as for the nearly three hundred devils who remained inside, according to later statistics, only fifteen people survived, but their spirits seemed to have collapsed, and they did not look like imperial soldiers at all.

Later, Sakai walked into the headquarters of Fuji Nohana, who was beaten to a mess, and when he saw Fuji Nohana covered with a white cloth, he still walked over and lifted the white cloth to take a look, and found that Fujinoka's expression seemed to have a sense of relief and tranquility, and the body did not seem to be affected in the slightest.

The leader of the devil squadron on one side explained repeatedly: "Brigade commander, when we found the captain, he was already loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

After Chen Gouji took a look, his eyes swept over the remaining three squadron leaders of the dejected Fuji Yehua Brigade, and after a few words of comfort, he returned to the brigade headquarters.

After looking at it all, he found that the strength of Fuya Mountain Eight Roads really could not be underestimated. If it is said that in Hulu Mountain, because he was accidentally calculated by Liu Tianshu and suffered a lot, then this time he was very careful, but he was still stabbed in his weakness by Liu Tianshu.

From the traces on the battlefield alone, it can be seen that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was particularly ferocious, especially the headquarters of the arsenal and Fuji Yehana, which were simply directly destroyed by the opponent's shells.

Although judging from the traces of the shell explosion, all mortars were used by the Eighth Road, the ferocious artillery fire was used to directly detonate the arsenal, and most of the buildings of the headquarters were simply blown up, resulting in most of the imperial soldiers guarding inside being killed by the shells.

Can you use mortars in such a big way, is this still a dirt road with a lack of guns and ammunition?

Sakai was furious to think that he had a fully formed brigade and strong fortifications, but in the end he was easily penetrated by his opponents, knocked out the town's arsenal and brigade headquarters, and then walked away.

But anger didn't help, his troops belonged to mobile combat units, not law and order maintenance forces, and although he was full of hatred for the new 1st Brigade in Fuya Mountain, he could not stay and look for a chance for revenge.

Sure enough, after staying in Chengouji for two days, he received an order from Commander Otaka Kamizo to lead his troops back to Jinan and prepare to participate in the sweep of Luxi.

As for the defense of Chen Gouji, it was naturally handed over to the Fuchang County garrison.

After the Sakai Brigade withdrew south, the Japanese troops in Jiping County had to withdraw because of the appearance of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas around the county seat, and for a while, Yongle Town returned to the situation before the war. However, the commander of the Japanese army in Jiping increased the Japanese army in the Qufeng stronghold to two squadrons, and it was also equipped with twelve vehicles, so that Yongle Town could use the cars to quickly reinforce if there was an incident.

However, the Jiping Japanese army did not believe that the Eighth Route Army would launch another attack on Yongle Town in the short term.

Liu Tianshu was studying the map when Shi Qiang and Chen Jian walked in.

"Commander."

"I'm back, sit down." When Liu Tianshu saw the two of them, he hurriedly motioned for the two to sit down.

Shi Qiang sat down on a stool, picked up the teacup in front of him, and poured it violently, before he said: "Regiment commander, we have figured it out, the commander of the devil in Yongle Town is still Matsui Gen, and the defenders have two squadrons plus more than three hundred imperial alliance troops, with a total strength of nearly seven hundred. Among them, the one guarding the North Mountain and the East Mountain is each a team, plus an Imperial Association Army Company, and the one guarding the South Gate is a team, plus an Imperial Association Army platoon, and there are only more than 20 devils and a platoon of the Imperial Association Army guarding the fortifications on the town wall in the west. The rest of the devils lived in the barracks of the town office. The devils have planted mines in both Beishan and Dongshan, and we can't figure out how many there are and where they are buried. Dongshan was built by devils to build a group of dark castles, which are connected by traffic trenches, and it is estimated that there are very likely tunnels below. ”

After listening to Shi Qiang's report, Liu Tianshu thought about it in his mind for a while, and then looked at Jian Chen.

"How's it going over there?"

"Regiment commander, the situation in Qufeng's stronghold has basically been clarified, there are two squadrons of the Japanese army plus more than two hundred imperial allegiance troops, and the Japanese army in Jiping County has allocated them twelve additional vehicles, if Yongle Town is attacked, the Japanese army in Qufeng can arrive within an hour." Jian Chen said in a low voice.

Qufeng's stronghold is the closest stronghold to Yongle Town, and if Liu Tianshu attacks Yongle Town, the first to arrive will undoubtedly be the devil of Qufeng Town.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Tianshu looked at Shi Qiang and Chen Jian and said, "Both, you say, if we feint to attack Yongle Town, and wait for the Japanese troops in Qufeng's stronghold to come out to reinforce, we will take advantage of the situation to end Qufeng's stronghold, what do you think?" ”

Although Liu Tianshu wanted to fight Yongle Town, and also reported his plan to the brigade commander and political commissar, he learned that on the hill east of Yongle Town, the devil not only built a turret, but also built a dark fort.

What makes it even more difficult for him is that these hidden bunkers are not only cleverly arranged, but also connected by tunnels underneath, that is to say, if he wants to defeat the devil's Dongshan position, it will definitely be a hard battle.

The last time a regiment attacked Yongle Town, although it blew up the two artillery towers built by the devils in Dongshan, they were blocked by the devils' hidden forts and mines, and finally returned in vain.

As for the North Mountain, several hills are next to each other, and the terrain is more complicated.

It seems that a group of people has suffered a lot of losses in Yongle Town, and there is a reason for it.

This time, he took the initiative to apply to the brigade commander to attack Yongle Town, but when he got here, the situation was really not optimistic.

Since Yongle Town is not easy to fight, can you first get rid of Qufeng's stronghold and cut off the connection between the devil and Yongle Town?

After the devils withdrew from the base areas, many local work teams were dispatched to mobilize the masses in the areas of Motianling and Ranshigangzi. If he lays down the Qufeng stronghold again, he can isolate the enemies of Yongle Town first.

"Hit Qufeng stronghold?" Shi Qiang and Chen Jian were stunned for a moment, and then began to think, and after a while, their eyes lit up and said: "Regiment Commander, your decision is too wise, in this way, the task of beating Qufeng's stronghold will be handed over to our reconnaissance team, and we promise to complete the task." ”

Once Yongle Town is attacked, according to the last practice, Qufeng stronghold will send at least more than 200 Japanese troops and more than 100 puppet troops to reinforce, the total strength of the enemy in Qufeng stronghold is only more than 400 people, after sending reinforcements, stay in the stronghold to watch the family, at most 200 people, and Qufeng stronghold is different from Yongle Town, there is no solid courtyard wall, that is, the stronghold is also built on the east side of the village next to the avenue, two tall turrets, one is built on the side of the avenue, the other is built on the hill not far away, and the devil's barracks, It is a large compound that has only been built recently, with three rows of barracks and a large playground.

Of course, outside the devil's barracks, barbed wire was still pulled up. There are also several firing points arranged at high places in the four corners.

"Come on, let's look into it first." Since the real target is Qufeng's stronghold, the specific battle plan has to be summed up.

An hour later, a complete battle plan was sent to Hong Feihu through the radio.

"Lao Jiang, Liu Tianshu wants to attack the Qufeng stronghold." After reading the message, Hong Feihu said to Jiang Jinyong with some surprise.

"What? Qufeng stronghold?" Jiang Jinyong couldn't help but be surprised, didn't he say that he was going to fight Yongle Town last time, why did he think of the Qufeng stronghold again?

After taking the telegram and reading it carefully, Jiang Jinyong looked at Hong Feihu: "Brigade commander, what do you think of Liu Tianshu's battle plan?" ”

"Political commissar, I thought about it carefully, and I think Liu Tianshu's idea is good, the last time a regiment attacked Yongle Town, it was because the devils had strong fortifications, and they also planted mines in Beishan and Dongshan, and finally returned in vain. According to the intelligence, Matsui Gen, a devil stationed in Yongle Town, is very good at civil engineering, and he studied this in college, and he has almost hollowed out the entire Dongshan, and it is indeed not an easy task to capture his Dongshan position. Although the Qufeng stronghold is less than thirty kilometers away from Jiping County, the devils there have no other strong fortifications except for two turrets, once Liu Tianshu transfers one of Qufeng's devils out and then takes advantage of the weakness, he should be able to take the Qufeng stronghold. As long as we take the Qufeng stronghold, the enemy in Yongle Town will be surrounded by us. Hong Feihu's eyes flashed brightly.

If you can really take the Qufeng stronghold, you can completely isolate the enemy in Yongle Town, and at that time, if the enemy's reinforcements cannot pass through the blockade line, then the enemy in Yongle Town may take the initiative to abandon there.

"If Liu Tianshu can take the Qufeng stronghold, we can take advantage of the situation to mobilize the masses around Yongle Town, brigade commander, I think so, the first battalion and the second battalion of the regiment are still under the command of Liu Tianshu for the time being, and after this battle is over, let them return to the building." Jiang Jinyong nodded.

After receiving the telegram from the brigade headquarters agreeing to his attack on Qufeng, Liu Tianshu immediately called Pang Fuyong, Tian Yulong, and several other battalion commanders.

"First battalion commander, the task of your battalion is to surround Yongle Town, carry out a feint attack on the enemy in Yongle Town at four o'clock in the morning, the mortar company and four mortars cooperate with your actions, and the machine gun battalion company is also under your command, remember, you must fight fiercely, and put on the appearance that you want to take Yongle Town. I'll show me the battle plan you've made. Second Battalion Commander, your mission is to set up an ambush in this muddy bay, and once the enemy reinforcements at Qufeng are reinforced, you are responsible for destroying them, and the second and third companies of machine guns will cooperate with you. Captain Shi, with the cooperation of the first and second companies of the third battalion, the reconnaissance brigade will wait for the devils of Qufeng to reinforce Yongle Town, and you will take down the Qufeng stronghold as quickly as possible. Do you all understand their respective tasks? ”

"Understood, promise to complete the task." After listening to Liu Tianshu's arrangement, everyone said in unison. (To be continued.) )
