Chapter 160: Dividing the Troops and Raiding

"Even if there are only five hundred defenders at each city gate, it is impossible for us to break through the city gate in a short period of time and enter Laiyuan City!" Political Commissar Cheng Xiao still has no intention of letting go!

Zeng Quan had always obeyed Wang Ping's orders before, but this time he also shook his head and echoed: "Commander, I don't agree either, it's too risky to fight like this, it's not worth it!" ”

Whether it is Cheng Xiao or Zeng Quan, both of them care about themselves.

Therefore, before there was no definite evidence to convince them, Wang Ping could only frown and wait.

"Regiment leader, the reconnaissance platoon telegram was sent from Laiyuan City, and they actually entered Laiyuan City, it's incredible!" Xu Guang, the commander of the communications platoon, said with a shocked face as soon as he rushed over.

Wang Ping snatched the telegram and began to browse it, and soon, his frowning brows relaxed, and then he said with the same excited face.

"Masano, Chief of Staff, our chance has come!"

"This is the latest enemy situation report in Laiyuan City: Nuoda Laiyuan City, each city gate is only defended by one battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army! If there are devils, I'm still a little worried, now it's replaced by the Imperial Cooperative Army, and there is also a reconnaissance platoon and a guard company to cooperate in Laiyuan City, I promise, one charge can kill Laiyuan City! ”

Cheng Xiao was also moved at this time, and after taking the telegram and reading it twice, he asked, "Commander, how are you going to fight!" ”

"I plan to launch an attack from the west gate of Laiyuan City, and at night, at most, there will be only one company of Imperial Alliance troops to defend the city gate! The troops moved as covertly as possible to the vicinity of the city gates. Two infantry cannons quickly blasted open the city gates. Six mortars, five volleys killed and wounded the Imperial Allied army on the city walls. As long as the defenders on the city wall are in chaos, the troops will start to assault and enter Laiyuan City as quickly as possible! ”

"After the battle started, the guard company and reconnaissance platoon that entered the county seat last night directly attacked the garrison of the Imperial Association Army at the corner of the city wall, delaying them for five minutes and preventing them from reinforcing the city wall!"

The chief of staff Zeng Quan's eyes lit up and replied: "In this case, we are eighty percent sure that we will enter Laiyuan City!" ”

Cheng Xiao didn't agree to this plan so easily, stared at Wang Ping and continued to ask, "What about after entering Laiyuan City?" ”

"The second battalion entered Laiyuan City, wiped out a large number of Japanese puppet troops in the city, and then took down the material warehouse arranged by the Japanese army in the west of the city, defended on the spot, blocked the counterattack of the Japanese puppet army, and cooperated with the baggage company to empty this warehouse for me!"

"Next is the first battalion, as long as the second battalion enters Laiyuan City, it will rush to Zhangzhuang with two mortars from the artillery company and build a blocking position here!"

"The main force of the Japanese army is in the Shangjie stronghold, if we let the devils know that our real attack intention is the county seat, and we will enter Laiyuan City in one attack, then they will definitely draw the main force from the Shangjie stronghold to reinforce the West Gate and block our back road!"

"The task of the first battalion is to hold this place for two hours, no matter when the devils come, and then quickly break away from the battle, act as the rear guard of the whole regiment, and cover the withdrawal of the main force to the station!"

"Next, let's talk about the three battalions and two recruit battalions that Lao Zeng brought with you."

"It is certain that the devil will send heavy troops from the streets to help the county seat. How many people are deployed, there are enough fighters that you need to grasp, and there is a lot to be done. ”

"There are fewer troops to be deployed, you can completely draw out a main force company and a recruit company, cooperate with a battalion, flank the front and rear, and eat the devil reinforcements. Even if you can't eat it, you have to find a way to hit him hard! ”

"There are more troops deployed, so let's see if there is a chance to directly take the stronghold on the street!"

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the Japanese army will not send troops to reinforce the county, after all, there are still more than 2,000 devils in the city. In this case, the Japanese army will definitely find a way to eat you and take revenge. When the time comes, you have to choose a good time to retreat, and you will be dumplings by the devil! ”

The greater the pressure, the greater the challenge and the greater the success. Although Zeng Quan is the chief of staff of the regiment, only he knows that this is completely stained with the light of Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao, whether it is qualifications or military exploits, he is still a cut behind the boss.

Qualifications take time to sharpen, and Zeng Quan can't control them.

However, he can influence his own combat exploits, so Zeng Quan must seize every opportunity to obtain combat merits, win combat merits, and make himself more confident in the position of regimental chief of staff.

"Please rest assured, the regiment commander will ensure that the task is completed!"

Wang Ping also had the intention of honing Zeng Quan, after all, he was one of the earliest veterans who followed him, so he gave him such a good opportunity.

Nodding his head, he ordered: "I have brought the remaining two radio stations in the communication platoon, give you one, and send me a telegram as soon as there is a situation!" ”

"Captain Xie, I will definitely be able to fight this battle!" Zeng Quan replied excitedly.

In the next two hours, through the method of exchanging new recruits for veterans, the first and second battalions of the independent regiment, the guard company, the artillery company, and the baggage company directly under the regiment, under the leadership of Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao, unknowingly separated from the third battalion and began to rush to the west gate of Laiyuan City.

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan, with three battalions, one platoon of artillery companies, and two new battalions, continued to rush along the old road in the direction of the stronghold on the street.

The Japanese puppet army spies hidden in the third battalion, seeing that the total strength of the troops had not changed, and the infantry guns carried by the troops were also there, continued to send information to the county seat, telling Ono in Laiyuan City that the offensive goal of the independent regiment had not changed, and continued to march in the direction of Shangjie.

When the Japanese army headquarters in Laiyuan City, Kazuki Yamamoto came to the Ono War Room again, his face was very relaxed.

"Your Excellency General, the latest information, the marching route of the main force of the Independent Regiment has not changed, and more than 2,000 Eighth Route Army carrying infantry artillery continue to march to the streets!"

"Yo Xi, General, it seems that we will annihilate the independent regiment in the stronghold on the street this time, and there will be no accidents!" The chief of staff complimented with a smile on his face!

Such a good opportunity for the total annihilation of the independent regiment, maybe Ono can only encounter this once in his life.

So, Ono must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Chief of Staff, any accident on the battlefield can happen, so don't rejoice too soon! Are the reinforcements out of town ready! ”

"Hey, an infantry brigade of imperial troops is already stationed at the east gate, as soon as the independent regiment starts attacking our stronghold, they will attack immediately!" The chief of staff affirmed.

"Yo Xi, now wait for the Independent Regiment to take the bait. By the way, the defense of Laiyuan City has been completed, and I heard gunshots in the city two hours ago. Not surprisingly, tonight, there must be an enemy in the city to cooperate with the independent regiment to attack us! ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

"The brigade headquarters left behind an infantry brigade to guard, two squadrons to guard the ammunition depot in the center of the city, two squadrons to patrol the city in small units, and one squadron to protect the artillery brigade."

"The Imperial Allied Army has divided four battalions to protect our small ammunition depots and material supply depots scattered in the four city gates, four battalions to defend the four city gates, one battalion is mobile, and the mountain artillery company and the mortar company directly under each regiment are split to assist in the defense of the four city gates!"

"As long as the resistance snobbery hidden in the city dares to come out, the imperial army troops patrolling the city will definitely eliminate them as soon as possible to ensure the stability of Laiyuan City!"
