Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, Qiao Anbang pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, and fight the snake and fight the seven inches, in this battle, we must also hit the devil's 'seven inches' first, and kill with one blow, so as to win this battle." ”

"But, military seat, where is the devil's 'seven inches'?" Li Yifeng asked suspiciously.

Qiao Anbang stared down, and suddenly pointed to Zaozhuang and Linyi on the map: "The devil's 'seven inches' are these two places!" ”

"Zaozhuang, Linyi?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Xie Jinyuan, the commander of the garrison brigade, said: "How can you say this?" ”

"As we all know, Xuzhou is the logistics supply base of the divisions and regiments on the front line of the North China Army, and before we captured Xuzhou, the army rushed all kinds of strategic materials out of the city in advance and transported them to Zaozhuang and Linyi respectively, of which the most were transported to Zaozhuang!" Qiao Anbang explained, pointing to the map.

Xie Jinyuan suddenly realized: "Do you mean to attack Zaozhuang and Linyi?" ”

"Yes." Qiao Anbang nodded solemnly and said: "Now that the army of Zaozhuang and Linyi has poured out of the nest in order to rescue Xuzhou, the garrison strength of the army in these two places must be very empty, I decided to send a special combat battalion to go deep behind the enemy and surprise attack the strategic material hoarding points of the army in Zaozhuang and Linyi, as long as these materials are destroyed, whether it is the army of Zaozhuang and Linyi or the main force of the North China Front of the army that has been cut off by us." Without logistical supplies, what else are they going to attack? We only need to besiege them in an encirclement, and in less than half a month, they will be completely annihilated. ”

"Well, General Qiao's trick is really superb, the strategic materials of the hundreds of thousands of troops are not raised by the devil if he wants to, even if the old devil Terauchi Shouichi can raise enough strategic materials in a short period of time, he will not be able to deliver them to the hands of several divisions on his front line, the most important thing is that if this batch of materials is destroyed, the devil reinforcements in the direction of Zaozhuang and Linyi will lose the ability to continue to attack, which will reduce a certain pressure on our defense line, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the counterattack of the main force of the army south of Xuzhou."

The commander of the 31st Division on the side, Chi Fengcheng, nodded in praise.

"I'm afraid there's more to it." Xie Jinyuan looked at Qiao Anbang with admiration on his face, and continued: "This move of the military seat is not only for the purpose of completely annihilating the main force of the North China Army. ”

"Oh? What do you say about Brother Zhongmin? Chi Fengcheng, Li Yifeng and the others all asked with a confused expression.

"The military seat has a long-term vision, first of all, once these main divisions of the North China Front Army are completely annihilated by us, the North China Army is bound to be greatly damaged, if we destroy all the large number of strategic materials allocated by Terauchi Shouichi to the divisions and regiments on the front line, then Terauchi Shouichi has the ability to go to heaven and will not be able to return to heaven, and then it will be the time for us to counterattack." Xie Jinyuan explained, pointing to the area on the map.

"Well, Brother Zhongmin is right, this battle is fought well, not only Shandong is recovered, but the entire North China may also be recovered by our [***] team." Jo Anbang said generously.

"Then the military seat, you can give the order."

"Yes, give the order." Li Yifeng, Zhang Xudong and others expressed their positions one after another.

Qiao Anbang waved his hand and said: "Okay, in order to cover the surprise attack of the special operations battalion, I decided to use the garrison brigade to defend the northern defense line of the city, and make every effort to block the Yue army in the direction of Zaozhuang and Linyi, the regiments of the first division will guard the southwest defense line of the city, the armored brigade and the air force will cooperate with the first division to fight, and the attack of the Yue army must be blocked, and the guard regiment will be responsible for the garrison of Xuzhou City." ”

"Yes!" Li Yifeng, Xie Jinyuan and others responded in unison, and immediately turned around and left.

"General Joe, what are we doing in the 31st Division?" Seeing that everyone had received the battle order, Chi Fengcheng on the side couldn't help but ask urgently.

"Commander Chi, your troops have been fighting continuously and have suffered heavy casualties, so you can stay in the city for the time being to rest and recuperate, and use it as a reserve for the whole army to plan for the future." Qiao Anbang thought for a moment.

"But ......" Before Chi Fengcheng finished speaking, Qiao Anbang waved his hand and said: "Commander Chi, this operation is very important, and we can't put all our troops into battle at once. ”

As he spoke, Qiao Anbang patted Chi Fengcheng on the shoulder again and said, "Don't worry, some are fighting, and when the time comes to launch a general attack, I will definitely put your troops at the forefront." ”

"Yes!" Chi Fengcheng knew Qiao Anbang's kindness, and was embarrassed to say anything, so he stood up helplessly and saluted a standard military salute, then turned around and strode away.

After everyone left, Qiao Anbang shouted to the guards outside the door: "Go and inform Liang Yiyu and let him come to the headquarters to report immediately." ”

……………………………………………………………………………………………… In the woods on the eastern outskirts of Yingzhou City, hundreds of Yue troops are quickly passing through the forest, and they are one of the roundabout troops of the Central China Yue Army, and they are trying to cross the Yingzhou defense line of the Tiger Ben Army and go straight to the Pheasant and Ji base area, the old nest of the Tiger Ben Army.

Luo Xiaowu is a ruffian in Xiaoluo Village in the eastern suburbs of Yingzhou, although he usually does not bully men and women in the village, he is also a thorn in the head, he is often fighting and fighting ruthlessly, and he is indispensable every time, and the people in the village also respect him, according to the words of the locals, he is also a capable head of Xiaoluo Village, so when the Tiger Ben Army wantonly recruits militia to block the reserve forces, Luo Xiaowu is naturally not far behind.

With a few like-minded companions in the village, he signed up for the militia reserve force of the Tiger Ben Army and became a member of the Tiger Ben Army.

It is also strange to say that since he became the captain of the militia, Luo Xiaowu did not rely on the full strength of his hands to oppress the people and fight as the people in the village expected, but as if he had changed a person, he often took his militiamen to dive into the water and chop firewood for the lonely and widowed old people in the village.

Gradually, the people in the village also had a better impression of Luo Xiaowu, and gradually became embraced from the original boredom and even fear.

In Luo Xiaowu's words, now we are also an official army, and we are also a well-known tiger army, of course, we can no longer be a ruffian who makes the people in the village look down on, and we must be a qualified tiger army soldier.

It just so happened that Luo Xiaowu brought more than a dozen militiamen under his command to hunt in the woods today, because the old Li Tou in the village was sick, Luo Xiaowu thought about taking his subordinates to the village to shoot a pheasant in the woods, stew a pheasant soup for Lao Li Tou, and replenish his body, and then led the team to inspect the woods at the head of the village, after all, this also belongs to the defense area of the Xiaoluo Village militia.

As a native of Xiaoluo Village, Luo Xiaowu and his companions are too familiar with the woods at the head of the village, and as soon as more than ten people entered the forest, Luo Xiaowu noticed that something was wrong, and immediately lay on the ground and put his ears against the ground and began to monitor.

As soon as he heard for a while, Luo Xiaowu's face changed greatly, and he lowered his voice and said to his companions behind him: "It's not good, hide quickly, there are people, many people." ”

The other militiamen didn't care to find the bottom of it, they got into the grass and trees on the side, took the 38 rifle they were carrying in their hands, quietly pulled the bolt, and prepared for battle.

Luo Xiaowu deftly burrowed into a bush, leaning on a fallen tree and quietly raised the Garand rifle in his hand, and within two minutes, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the originally silent woods.

Luo Xiaowu was surprised to find that the ones who appeared in front of him were devils, these devils were disguised with branches and green grass on their heads and bodies, and there were about twenty people, Luo Xiaowu didn't know that these were just devils' small forwards, so he immediately aimed at one of them, and ordered in a deep voice: "Brothers, open fire, don't let them pass." Before he could finish speaking, he pulled the trigger.

"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and a rifle bullet accurately hit a ghost soldier dozens of meters away, and the ghost soldier fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen other militiamen also opened fire: "Papapa, Papa, ......" chaotic gunshots resounded through the woods, but the marksmanship of these militiamen was really not flattering, and only one of the dozen or so fighters hit one devil, and the rest of the bullets were all empty.

was attacked, and the remaining twenty or so devils scattered vigilantly, and then leaned against the trees and began to shoot back.

Luo Xiaowu's Garand semi-automatic rifle fired again and again, and the devil mistook it for a light machine gun, and hurriedly ordered their light machine gun to suppress it, "Da Da...... Da Da Da "In the rapid gunshot, a burst of bullets whistled towards Luo Xiaowu.

Luo Xiaowu hurriedly lowered his head, and all the bullets hit the crosswood where he was hiding, and a burst of sawdust splashed everywhere.

The sound of gunfire alarmed the follow-up troops of the devils, as the fierce battle progressed, there were more and more devils, and Luo Xiaowu's militia also sacrificed two, seeing that the situation was not right, Luo Xiaowu, took advantage of the time to change the magazine and said to a soldier behind him: "Hanchun, you immediately run to Yingzhou City to move the rescue troops, just say that there are a large number of devils here, I will take someone here first, go quickly." ”

"Yes!" A burly militiaman answered, and immediately ran towards the road like a cheetah, several bullets whizzing and hitting the grass and trees behind him.

After Hanchun left, Luo Xiaowu immediately yelled at the remaining militiamen: "Quick, retreat to the old forest in the east, let's play the old dream with the little devil (in the northern Anhui dialect, that is, hide and seek)." ”

With that, Luo Xiaowu suddenly raised Garland in his hand and pulled the trigger again and again, suppressed the devil, and then turned around quickly and took the lead in retreating.
