On the highway 20 miles southwest of Gaochun, more than 7,000 officers and men of the Tiger Regiment, riding in armored trucks, were speeding along the highway in the direction of Lishui.

Looking down from the sky, hundreds of trucks and armored vehicles stretch for miles along the road, like a giant dragon winding through it. It's nighttime, and it's the dead of night, so if it's daylight, such a huge convoy will definitely attract the attention of the people in the surrounding villages.

Fortunately, it is a period of turmoil, and some people dare not go out during the day, not to mention that in the middle of the night, ordinary people have already turned off the lights and closed the door to rest, even if someone hears some sounds, they will only close the door of their own courtyard closer, and they dare not show their heads at all.

At this time, not long after the devils launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, although they attacked the city and plundered the land all the way, the areas occupied by the devils were limited to important towns and large and medium-sized cities along the railway lines and highways, and the vast countryside and the devils had no time to take care of it for the time being.

At this time, the Jiangnan region is not North China two or three years later, ** in the Jiangnan area, the hearts of the people are deep, not to mention that they did not find anything abnormal, even if they do, they will never report to the devil.

In this way, the tiger group traveled all the way, and soon bypassed Gaochun, entered the territory of Lishui County through Huqiao and Chushan, and went straight to Lishui County.

…………….

Lishui County, under the cover of night, the whole county is exceptionally silent except for a few occasional roosters and dogs.

Since Kunisaki Noboru led the detachment's main force 41st Wing and detachment headquarters to leave, only one infantry squadron remained in the city, originally Kunisaki Noboru wanted to leave the strength of an infantry brigade to stay, because the Kunisaki detachment suffered heavy losses in Ma'anshan for a few days, the 11th Infantry Wing, the Cavalry Search Wing and the 3rd Wing of the Reading Mountain Artillery were all wiped out.

Before the arrival of the supplementary corps, Kunisaki Noboru, who felt that his troops were insufficient, could only helplessly leave an infantry squadron to stay in Lishui County, but in order to strengthen the strength of this garrison squadron, Kunisaki Noboru gritted his teeth and transferred four Type 92 heavy machine guns from the 41st Wing, which was not rich in machine guns, and equipped them with the garrison squadron.

In Kunisaki Deng's view, the garrison squadron is equipped with these four heavy machine guns plus the squadron's original light and heavy firepower, and it is based on the city, even if a regiment comes to attack, it will not succeed in a short time.

It may be that the geographical location of Lishui County is not very important, and the moat has not been dug around the city wall before, and the devils have not been able to dig the moat for a long time since they captured Lishui, and they have not had time to dig the moat, and the arrogant and invincible devils are attacking fiercely, and they will never waste time on building fortifications.

At the head of the south gate, a searchlight was shining back and forth, and on each side of the searchlight stood two devil infantry with rifles on their backs, and there was a devil soldier walking back and forth on the city wall not far away.

From time to time, the two devils next to the searchlight exchanged heads and whispered two words of bird language that the Chinese could not understand, while the other ghost soldier walked back and forth on the city wall as always, and some sleepy turned his head from time to time to look outside the city.

In the barracks under the castle, more devil soldiers fell asleep early, chatting with their Amaterasu Okami and complaining.

On the highway five miles outside the city, the convoy of the Tiger Ben Regiment has all stopped, all the officers and soldiers are still on standby, no one knows where they are now, what the next task is, the atmosphere in each truck compartment is very depressing, but no one speaks loudly, they are all patiently waiting for the commander's order.

In the middle of the convoy, Qiao Anbang sat on the armored car and waited quietly, and the reconnaissance company that had been opening the road in front of him came with a message, as if they were approaching Lishui County, but it was night, and further confirmation was needed.

In a small forest less than two miles away from Lishui City, Zhang Xudong, the commander of the reconnaissance company, quietly came here with a small group of scouts, lying on his stomach in the grass, Zhang Xudong took out his binoculars and looked at the city according to the searchlight light.

After observing for a while, Zhang Xudong turned his head and whispered to a soldier next to him: "Ergouzi, take out the compass and map." ”

"Yes." Ergouzi answered in a low voice, and immediately took out a compass and a map.

After taking the map, Zhang Xudong turned on a flashlight and calculated on the map with the compass for a while before he said in a deep voice: "It should be here, let's go back." With that, he quietly stepped back.

Ergouzi also hurriedly followed and retreated, and the other soldiers in charge of guarding around him only cautiously withdrew after Zhang Xudong withdrew.

Out of the woods, Zhang Xudong took the reconnaissance team on the motorcycle, quickly turned around and ran south.

"Tuanza, I'm back." Zhang Xudong, who returned in a hurry, came to Qiao Anbang's command car, and hurriedly reported before he could stand up.

"Oh?" Qiao Anbang raised his head when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"Figure it out, about five miles ahead is Lishui County, there is no moat outside the city, and there are no devils stationed there, it seems that there are not many devils in the city!" Zhang Xudong replied.

"Great." Qiao Anbang slammed and said, "Xudong, you immediately send a few people with walkie-talkies to provide the artillery battalion with an approximate location, so that the artillery battalion can carry out shelling." In addition, this attack your reconnaissance company will take the lead, cover the infantry to break through the obstacles, and attack the city in one go! Alright, you can hurry up and get ready. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xudong happily agreed, snapped and saluted, then turned around and got on the motorcycle and left.

After Zhang Xudong left, Qiao Anbang immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered in a deep voice: "Attention to all units, attention to all units, the destination has been reached, the first, second, and third battalions of infantry immediately get out of the car and prepare for battle, and the artillery battalion will build an artillery position on the spot and prepare to carry out artillery strikes!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Roger!" The intercom sounded the cheerful responses of several battalion and company commanders, and soon the order was transmitted to every vehicle, and all the officers and men jumped out of the cars and quickly assembled in the open space on the side of the road.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion, with the help of the engineers, are also repairing the artillery positions in an intense and orderly manner.

Qiao Anbang just got out of the car, and in the dark, the artillery battalion commander Wang Xuanzhu hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Qiao Anbang, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Tuanzao, this is about to start, our artillery battalion doesn't even know the specific location of the target, how will the artillery be fired later?" ”

"The specific target location, the scouts will provide it to you later, but Battalion Commander Wang, you remember it to Lao Tzu, don't be petty later, aim at the current ten minutes of bombardment, be sure to collapse the city wall for me, so as to facilitate the infantry to attack the city!" Qiao Anbang instructed.

"Yes! Please rest assured that the mission will be completed. Wang Zhuzhu snapped forward and reassured.

"Go ahead." Qiao Anbang waved his hand.

"Yes!" Wang Xuanzhu replied loudly again, and then turned around and took the order.
