As soon as Qiao Youhua's side had deployed his troops, the troops of the 8th Brigade and the 5th Division of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army swarmed and surrounded the entire Luquan County regiment.

After discovering that the Dragon's Tooth Task Force in the town had withdrawn, the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of Erdaogouzi and Magou Town searched the town and could not find a passable tunnel entrance, so it bypassed the two towns and went straight to Luquan to join forces with the 8th Brigade.

Because when the first and second battalions retreated, they blocked some tunnels that were easy to be discovered by devils, so the possibility of sneaking up on the Luquan defense line through the devils through the guò tunnels was cut off.

Now that the devils have an absolute advantage in their forces and surround Luquan County, they will naturally no longer look for tunnel entrances and exits to carry out tunnel operations that they are not good at.

Now the size of the two divisions of the Japanese army has also been greatly reduced, and there are only more than 1,000 people left in the 21st Brigade, plus the battle of Erdaogouzi of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division, and the battle losses of the 8th Brigade and the 9th Brigade in Dahe Village, the losses of the Japanese army before and after have been close to 20,000.

Of these, combat units account for 80 percent.

With a casualty rate of about 2,000 people, the Dragon Tooth Task Force achieved ten times the results of killing the enemy, and in the end, Erdaogouzi and Magou Town still took the initiative to give up, so this battle has been fought so far, strictly speaking, the Dragon Tooth Task Force has not suffered a loss.

When the Japanese army gathered, Itagaki Seishiro appointed Tataji Takagi as commander-in-chief and the commanders of the 8th and 33rd brigades as deputy commanders-in-chief, and immediately launched the first full-scale attack on Luquan.

As Qiao Youhua expected, the main direction of the Japanese army's attack was east, north, and west, and only one infantry squadron was sent to the south gate with narrow terrain to carry out a feint.

When the battle began, the officers and men of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force relied on the strong fortifications to resolutely resist, and the artillery battalion also suddenly opened fire at a critical moment, which caught the Japanese attacking troops outside the city by surprise and effectively supported the operation of the defensive troops outside the city.

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat, and the first attack ended in failure.

However, then the devil's artillery group carried out a retaliatory artillery counterattack against the Longya artillery battalion in the city, fortunately, Qiao Youhua had already prepared, so that the artillery battalion was dispersed early, and the artillery was not concentrated in one area, but distributed in various streets and alleys, connected by guò electric ring, and fired at a target at the same time.

It not only ensures the intensive effectiveness of firepower, but also avoids the risk of being attacked by retaliatory artillery fire from devils.

In addition, Qiao Youhua also warned Ma Yunlong and other artillery officers and soldiers that after the shelling ended, they immediately pushed the artillery to move their positions, so although the devil's artillery fire was fierce and intensive, the artillery battalion did not suffer much substantial loss.

Of course, this is also the artillery captured by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force before, which is basically a lighter Type 92 infantry gun and some mortars, which can be flexible and mobile, if it is a heavier artillery, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

The devil's first attack failed, and after the subsequent retaliatory artillery bombardment, it was already dark, and after a day of fierce fighting with the Dragon's Tooth Task Force in Dahe Village, the Japanese troops who pursued them all the way were also tired and suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, Tataji Takagi obeyed the advice of the staff adjutants, ended the attack, surrounded the Luquan regiment, and decided to rest for the night and call for air force support tomorrow to try to attack the city in one fell swoop.

The night is like ink, the endless night covers the entire county, you can't see your five fingers, in the dark night, in the battlements of the four city gates, there are constantly dragon's teeth soldiers patrolling back and forth, they do not have torches, because this is likely to become a live target for the Japanese sharpshooters, or summon the artillery bombardment of devils.

Fortunately, there were no more people in the county, and although Qiao Youhua's regimental headquarters was blown up during the day, he quickly found a new house and used it as a regimental command post.

This is a small courtyard near the southern part of the city, surrounded by several two-storey houses, and the small courtyard is very inconspicuous in the middle.

In the small courtyard, Qiao Youhua summoned Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao, Wu Ming, and political commissar Guo Meng to discuss a matter.

This is the first time since the Japanese army came to attack until now, the four of them have gathered together.

The three of you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and then Jiang Haidong took the initiative to say with doubts: "Leader, you are looking for a few of us, is it the matter?" ”

Qiao Youhua, who was lighting a cigarette, nodded, looked up at Guo Meng, the political commissar sitting opposite him, and said: "I don't need to say the current situation, you are all clear, although we are still full of food and ammunition, but it is not a long-term solution to be trapped like this, sooner or later the Japanese army will break through the defense line, or be trapped alive."

Don't forget, there are still more than 100,000 people on the mountain, and although we have hoarded a lot of grain in the previous autumn harvest, we can't support the large number of people, so I have a plan to implement when I come to you. ”

Qiao Youhua's words made Jiang Haidong and Guo Meng all nod their heads in agreement, and looked at Qiao Youhua in unison, waiting for him to say this plan.

"This plan is for the four of us to form an assault team to raid the Japanese headquarters and ammunition base! Only in this way can we have a chance to turn defeat into victory! Qiao Youhua looked at his three good brothers and said.

The three of them didn't have much change in love, and their team hadn't fought together for a long time, but they were a little excited.

However, political commissar Guo Meng immediately objected: "What? The four of you are going to sneak up on the devils? This is not good, you are all gone, who will command the troops? And the devils have surrounded the county, how can you get out? It's too dangerous, and I'm against it. ”

Jiang Haidong, Wu Ming, and Ma Biao all looked at Qiao Youhua, at this time, they understood that they had to be the boss to get this beautiful political commissar, and they could only be spectators.

"Political Commissar Guo, I have considered all the questions you raised, the command of the troops is commanded by you, Zheng Yunshan, Liu Yidao, Zhou Dasheng They have all grown up, and they can serve as the commander of the former enemy, you just need to sit in command and coordinate.

As for breaking through the devil's blockade, it's too simple for the four of us, it's really not good, we can also go to Feiyunling through the guò tunnel, and then make a detour to the rear of the devil to attack. Qiao Youhua saw that Guo Meng wanted to say something, raised his hand to stop her and said: "Needless to say, this plan must be implemented, otherwise we have no chance of winning at all, not for ourselves, for the sake of more than 100,000 people on the mountain, we have to take the risk of fighting again!" ”

After speaking, Qiao Youhua stood up and said, "The three of you hurry up and prepare, hand over your respective commands to your respective deputies, and then we will gather in the south of the city!" ”
