Ou Baofei's third battalion followed Guo Zhenlong's division to Wangjiadian, however, Guo Zhenlong has been a soldier for many years after all, and after his troops withdrew to Wangjiadian, he immediately let Yu Chenglong's regiment guard the north of the town, and at the same time stepped up the construction of fortifications, another regiment was placed on the west side of the town, and another regiment was responsible for the southeast and southeast sides. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The regiment placed in the west, the regiment commander Qin Jianzhao is a subordinate who has followed him for many years, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he led the troops to follow Guo Zhenlong to tear and kill everywhere, and the troops below were also very fierce.

Qin Jianzhao received the order and immediately asked his first battalion to seize Shenzhuang west of Wangjiadian and repair the fortifications on the high ground north of the village, and at the same time set up the regimental headquarters in Shenzhuang, and the second battalion was arranged along the southwest direction of Shenzhuang.

Probably thinking of the menacing New Fourth Army this time, Qin Jianzhao commanded the troops to rush to repair the field fortifications, and at the same time placed the guard post five miles west of Shenzhuang.

Liu Tianshu's New Fourth Army is so powerful, although Qin Jianzhao has not been taught, even the Great Taijun of Shigu was beaten very embarrassed, which naturally made Qin Jianzhao feel a lot of pressure.

Thinking that the fall of Banqiaoji was caused by the officers below letting go of the defense line and surrendering to the New Fourth Army, Qin Jianzhao secretly sent henchmen to each battalion to closely supervise the officers below.

After Ou Biaofei rushed to Wangjiadian with his troops, he found that Guo Zhenlong's troops had quickly established a strong defensive line, and his three companies launched a tentative attack, but it did not achieve any results.

Liu Tianshu was taken aback when he received Ou Biaofei's report, looked at Guo Sizhong and said with a smile: "Old Guo, you didn't expect to become a good man, and even the third battalion commander felt a headache." ”

"Hehe, my regiment commander, Guo Zhenlong has a division and three regiments in his hands, even if he is hit by Ou Biaofei in Lion Ridge, it is not to the point of breaking his muscles and bones, and now Guo Zhenlong has shrunk the troops into a group and strictly defended in Wangjiadian, how to fight the next battle, I think I have to sum it up." Guo Sizhong read the message sent by Ou Biaofei, pondered for a while and said.

"Alas, you are right, if Guo Zhenlong really shrunk into a group and defended Wangjiadian, with only the two companies of the third battalion and the second battalion, he will not be able to gnaw at all, by the way, has the situation in Maowan Town been reported?" Liu Tianshu looked at Staff Officer Sun.

"Regiment commander, just now I received a telegram from the commander of the independent battalion Qin, saying that the devils of Maowan Town have been in the town all morning, and there is no sign of rushing north to meet Matsushita Nobuyuki, in addition, the reconnaissance company reported that Matsushita Nobuyuki's two brigades have rushed to Maowan Town along the road." Staff Officer Sun looked at the two of them and said.

"What? Saburo Ishitani didn't move his nest in Maowan Town? When Liu Tianshu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, he had let go of the road to the north, it stands to reason that the devil should quickly retreat north to become a company, why is he still in Maowan Town.

Don't? Liu Tianshu had a flash of inspiration, and immediately thought of Guo Zhenlongshi from Wangjiadian.

Guo Sizhong also seemed to think of this, and looked at Liu Tianshu, "Leader, could it be that Nobuyuki Matsushita not only wants to pick up Ishiya Saburo, but also take Guo Zhenlong?" ”

"Very likely." Liu Tianshu nodded heavily.

If Nobuyuki Matsushita still wants to pick up Guo Zhenlong, this matter will have to be discussed in the long run.

However, it should be impossible to say that the Japanese army put the troops of Matsushita Nobuyuki and Saburo Ishitani in the base area, after all, the Miura Tadaji Brigade is a field force and has more important tasks to perform.

After Liu Tianshu discussed with Guo Sizhong, he decided to let Ou Biaofei let go of the north and concentrate his forces to attack from the south of Wangjiadian. In order to force Guo Zhenlong to abandon Wangjiadian and go north to join the main force of the Japanese army.

With so many enemies, even if the 16th Regiment was wiped out, it would not be able to eat, and now it seems that the ideal result would be to drive the enemy out.

After receiving the order from the regimental headquarters, Ou Biaofei immediately commanded the troops to go around to the south of Wangjiadian, and then concentrated artillery fire on the positions of the troops defending the south of Guo Zhenlong to carry out a fierce bombardment.

All of a sudden, the position south of the town fell into a sea of fire, and the **** soldiers guarding the position were blown away one after another by the explosion of artillery shells, and the entire position was blown into a mess.

After the artillery battalion mortar battery shelling ended, the three battalions and one company immediately launched an attack on the positions of the Founding Army from the south in platoons.

The attack of the three battalions and one company was completely in accordance with the standard offensive action of the 16th Regiment, with one platoon in the center, two platoons responsible for the flanks, and each platoon in three squads advancing in a zigzag pattern, with machine gun fire and grenadiers in the rear providing fire suppression at any time.

The attack of each squad was divided into three battle groups, which covered each other in a zigzag shape and advanced forward.

In order to defeat the confidence of the stubborn resistance of the National Construction Army, the incendiary bomb throwing team of the regimental headquarters was urgently transferred, and when it encountered the strong fortress of the National Construction Army, it used incendiary bombs to attack.

All of a sudden, the shouting of killing in the south of Wangjiadian shook the sky, and in the afternoon, a company occupied the main position of Guo Zhenlong's division in the south, and the forward had approached Wangjiadian.

After occupying the position in the south, Ou Biaofei immediately threw troops into rushing to repair the fortifications to prevent the National Construction Army from counterattacking.

Sure enough, Guo Zhenlong learned that the position in the south was lost, and in a fit of anger, he ordered the third regiment to dispatch two companies to carry out a counterattack, but was stubbornly blocked by Ou Biaofei's company, and when it was dark, Guo Zhenlong had to give up the idea of recapturing the southern position.

Fortunately, at this time, Guo Zhenlong got the news that the New Fourth Army in the north of the town had suddenly disappeared.

It's just that although he learned that the New Fourth Army in the north was gone, he didn't dare to withdraw from Wangjiadian Town to the north.

Who knows if the New Fourth Army will wait for them in the field, besides, there is a steep Lion Ridge in the north.

When the two sides of Wangjiadian were inseparable, Liu Tianshu's attention was always on Maowan Town.

At noon, Matsushita Nobuyuki's troops rushed to Maowan Town and joined Saburo Ishitani, but then the devil stopped in Maowan Town and did not make any moves, which made Liu Tianshu a little puzzled.

However, he did not dare to take it lightly, and just ordered the fighters of the independent battalion and reconnaissance company around Maowan Town to closely monitor the movements of the devils.

A series of battles in the base area of the 16th Regiment touched the hearts of the leaders of the fifth detachment, and Commander Luo and Political Commissar Guo had been paying close attention to every move here, and when they learned that Nobuyuki Matsushita had returned to Maowan Town with two brigades of elite Japanese troops, the hearts of the two leaders also hung in the air.

The 16th Regiment not only pinned down a brigade of the Japanese army in the base area, but also said to have inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, which made Commander Luo very happy in his heart, you must know that although the development momentum of the Fifth Detachment in Ludong is good, and the troops are also growing, it is better to say that it has eliminated the enemy than a 16th Regiment of Liu Tianshu.

Last time, the 16th Regiment was swept away by the Miura Brigade, and the detachment sent a main force regiment to the side of the Jinpu Road to prepare to respond, but in the end, because a Japanese brigade was blocking the front, it had to retreat in the end.

"Old Guo, it seems that Seiichiro Shinohara, he wants Matsushita Nobuyuki to take Guo Zhenlong back, but now Guo Zhenlong, even if Liu Tianshu lets go of the road to the north, he doesn't have the courage to retreat north. You say, what will Nobuyuki Matsushita do next? Commander Luo looked at the map and said with a worried look at Political Commissar Guo.

"Alas, who said no, Guo Zhenlong was worried that after withdrawing from Wangjiadian, he would be attacked by Liu Tianshu in the wild, so he didn't dare to withdraw, and Matsushita Nobuyuki wanted to relieve Guo Zhenlong's siege, the cheapest way should be to go south from the Lion Ridge, however, the Lion Ridge terrain is dangerous, and Matsushita Nobuyuki may not dare to take this risk, but if he doesn't go to Lion Ridge, then what will he do." Political Commissar Guo also had indescribable worry in his eyes.

The Japanese army in Maowan Town has about 5,000 men, which is a force that cannot be more huge, and the 16th Regiment is still not enough in front of it.

Commander Luo's eyes kept searching on the map, and finally, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Su Jiatang.

After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Political Commissar Guo and said, "Old Guo, it seems that we have to remind Liu Tianshu in case the devil attacks Sujiatang." ”

"Well, you're right, I want to remind Liu Tianshu to pay attention to this." Both of them found that Su Jiatang might be the next target chosen by the devil.

If Guo Zhenlong's division of Wangjiadian can hold on, then it is entirely possible that Nobuyuki Matsushita and Saburo Ishiya will take advantage of the concentration of the main force of the New Fourth Army in Wangjiadian, suddenly attack Sujiatang, and then advance to Wangjiadian from the east.

In this way, not only can you avoid Lion Ridge, but you can also force Liu Tianshu to withdraw his troops.

Liu Tianshu received a telegram from the detachment, immediately studied it carefully on the map, and then looked at Guo Sizhong and said: "Political commissar, although Ou Biaofei occupied the position of building **** in the south of Wangjiadian, but now the offensive is blocked by Guo Zhenlong, in a short period of time, we will not be able to attack the town, if the devil suddenly attacks Sujiatang, we will be passive." In this way, the artillery battalion was ordered to prepare and quietly rush to Yutang Bay tonight to establish an artillery position at this position, and at the same time ordered the independent battalion to rush to Yutang Bay at once, and prepare here, and once the devils advanced to the east, the independent battalion would immediately carry out a blockade here. As soon as the large army of devils assembled, the artillery battalion immediately used artillery fire to carry out a covering artillery bombardment of this area. Staff Officer Sun, how many more shells do we have? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Tianshu turned his head to look at Staff Officer Sun on the side.

"Regiment commander, there are eighty-eight rounds of artillery shells left for the ninety-two infantry, and three hundred and forty rounds of mortar shells for the eighty-two mortars." Staff Officer Sun flipped through a notebook and said.

"Tell Wu Zhongping that as long as the devils advance here, they will immediately carry out a fierce artillery bombardment on the devils, and the 92nd infantry shells will be used up in one go. Then quickly withdraw from the battle. The 82 mortars lay in ambush in this position in advance, waited for the infantry guns to fire, and immediately launched an artillery attack on the troops behind the devils, each mortar hit two bases, and then quickly withdrew from the battle. The regimental headquarters guard company was responsible for cooperating with the artillery battalion operations. Liu Tianshu gritted his teeth and said.

Yutang Bay is the only way for the devils to rush from Maowan Town to Sujiatang, where the terrain is complicated, and the mountains are undulating, but the artillery battalion has its own observation post group, which can lurk in front of the front to carry out observation, and then use a low-power radio to contact the artillery behind.

Although the little devils are many powerful, if their artillery is used properly, they can still inflict heavy losses on the devils. (To be continued.) )
