The same thing doesn't happen in one place.

This time, considering that he wanted to completely cut off the water supply line of the devils, Li Yunlong had already arranged troops in advance to ambush Gujing.

Fortunately, these ancient wells were originally outside the Huting stronghold.

There is still a distance of two or three hundred meters from the artillery tower on the outermost line of the devil's guard.

In addition, the fighters used cold artillery to sneak attack, and the artillery bombardment team lurking outside the stronghold was far beyond the range of the firepower of the stronghold.

Then locked the area where the ancient well was located, and once the little devil appeared near the ancient well from the telescope, he directly launched an artillery raid.

Even with the devil puppet army, as well as the wellhead, blow it up together.

It's like guarding the water source and waiting for the little devil to fall into a trap by himself.

This kind of lack of morality has not been done by little devils.

When the sweep was carried out, some troops of the Eighth Route Army were blocked behind the mountains, and the Japanese army could not find the soldiers in the deep mountains and old forests, so they set up an ambush next to some water sources at the foot of the mountain, and waited until the soldiers had to leave the mountains and venture to get water, and then launched a surprise attack.

Li Yunlong is just treating others in his own way.

After passing the ancient well and then going outward, it was the guerrilla area of the Eighth Route Army.

The little devils can't be sure at all whether there will be an ambush force of the Eighth Route Army lurking in it.

Until the evening of the 18th.

First, the convoy of devils carrying water by water trucks was ambushed by the soldiers of the New Second Regiment.

Then many ancient wells on the outer line for emergency water were also destroyed by the cold artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

In the entire Huting stronghold, the water used in the life and military affairs of the devils and puppet soldiers has not been effectively replenished.

Inside the High Command Headquarters.

The devil Shaosa Furukawa Shinichi knew that his guess had come true.

These damn dirt roads have really found the only flaw in the entire Tiger Pavilion stronghold - the water supply that must be carried out regularly.

The entire Tiger Pavilion stronghold was impregnable by the Imperial troops.

No matter how impregnable you are, if you don't have enough water in your stronghold, sooner or later all your troops will die of thirst.

The devil adjutant on the side spoke with a full of worry: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the current situation is very bad, these damn Tubalu seem to have completely blocked the Tiger Pavilion stronghold from the outside.

Especially with regard to the water supply inside our stronghold, these dirt roads seem to be aimed at completely cutting off the water supply line of our army. ”

Furukawa frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How long can our reserve water last?" ”

The adjutant said: "After the water source of the stronghold was cut off by the Dirt Eighth Road, all the non-essential water in our stronghold has been stopped.

But even so, we save water, and the remaining reserve water source may not last for two days.

Other than that...... Your Excellency Shao Zuo, the more than 100 war horses must drink water, especially in winter, most of the war horses eat hay, and they need to drink water! ”

"Those damn bastards!"

Furukawa angrily slammed his fist on the table, but he was helpless, and after calming down a little, he slowly spoke: "The heavy snow that fell not long ago has not completely melted, and there is still a lot of snow in the stronghold, collect some clean snow and wait until it melts into water, which can temporarily alleviate the water shortage of our army."

In addition, let the defenders in all directions of the east, west, south, and north especially strengthen their vigilance after nightfall.

Dohachi is particularly adept at night warfare, even if they show an intent to blockade our base areas by cutting off water sources.

But we also can't guarantee that they won't raid the Tiger Pavilion stronghold by force. ”

"Hey, please rest assured, Your Excellency Shaozuo, I will make detailed arrangements!"

"As for the problem of using water for the base......

The corners of Furukawa's mouth crossed a slightly mocking sneer: "These damn dirt roads, do you really think that the water supply line of my Tiger Pavilion stronghold was cut by them if they wanted to?" ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, do you have an idea?"

"Since the Eighth Route wants to completely block the Huting stronghold by cutting off the water supply line of our army......"

Furukawa took the detailed military battle map of the area around the stronghold of Huting in front of him, quickly carried out the work on the map with a pencil, drew a few routes, and said:

"Then, these five water supply lines that our army can use must have been blocked from the outside by the Dirt Eighth Road!

The next thing we have to do is very simple, just lure the enemy!

Tonight, in order to guard against a sneak attack on the Eighth Road, our army should stand still and especially strengthen vigilance.

Wait until tomorrow morning, here, westward to the outer edge of the fortifications to the waterline.

Send out a transport unit of our army, pretend to get water, and lure out the hidden Tubalu in one fell swoop.

The terrain to the west is open, and once the battle starts, our army's tank troops, mechanized combat units, and even cavalry units can be quickly reinforced to the combat area.

Wipe out all these damn dirt paths. ”

Speaking of this, the thoughtful Furukawa continued to add: "In addition, according to the information I have discovered, just around the Huting stronghold, there is an armored company of the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army led by Li Yunlong.

This contingent must be on guard, and it can notify the headquarters of all strongholds blocked on the outer line of the new Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, strengthen vigilance, and absolutely not allow the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army to come in and interfere with our army's plan to lure the enemy this time. ”

The adjutant said: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Shaozuo, since the armored company of the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army appeared, we have especially strengthened the anti-tank fire to block the stronghold of the New Second Regiment.

The tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army would never be allowed to pass. ”

"Ryxi, I'm relieved! Immediately gather officers at all levels and prepare to implement this battle plan to lure the enemy! ”

"Hey!"

That night, a group of devil officers were planning tomorrow's battle in a meeting on the battle plan for this decoy of the enemy.

The little devils also made some special preparations for the troops who will be responsible for camouflaging the water transport troops tomorrow and luring the Eighth Route Army to attack.

At about eight o'clock the next morning, it was already dark.

A devil transport force has almost pulled away all the waterwheel stocks in the entire Huting stronghold.

Nearly 50 wooden water wheels, driven by more than 100 little devils, marched from the westward road of the Huting stronghold and went straight to the big river that is often used as a water source on the outer line.

And the deployment of the Eighth Route Army was just as the old devil Furukawa expected.

In order to completely cut off the water supply to the Huting stronghold, Li Yunlong arranged ambush troops on all the water transportation lines around the Huting stronghold.

It is lurking day and night, always on guard.

Never let the little devils secretly leave the stronghold to get water at any time.

The guard post sensed the devil's movement in advance.

The news that the little devils in the Huting stronghold had dispatched a transport force of a considerable size quickly reached the headquarters of the new second regiment.

Li Yunlong immediately gave an order without hesitation: "This little devil raised by a son of a dog still wants to send water to the stronghold?" There are no doors!

The westward direction of the Huting stronghold has always been in charge of the first battalion, and immediately sent me an order to the headquarters of the first battalion and told Zhang Dabiao to show me death!

I must not let the little devil send me a drop of water to the Tiger Pavilion stronghold! ”

"Yes!"

After the order of the regiment headquarters was quickly transmitted, Zhang Dabiao quickly analyzed the movement of the Japanese army at the battalion headquarters.

"Battalion commander, according to the situation of our investigation, the devil dispatched nearly a squadron of transport troops this time, pulled a large number of water trucks, and went straight to the big river five kilometers away, it seems that he is preparing to forcibly take water."

Zhang Dabiao nodded, no longer hesitating: "More than a hundred little devils, if the devils want to forcibly transport water, there must be reinforcements in the future."

In particular, the mechanized combat unit stationed by the little devils in the stronghold of the Tiger Pavilion is very mobile and may be reinforced at any time. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Dabiao directly made a deployment on the military sand table in front of him: "The first company and the comrades of the local army who assisted in the operation have been ambushed in the area near the big river where the devil draws water.

Inform the commander of the first company to stay on hold for the time being and make preparations for combat in advance.

Wait until the devil's transport force is loading water by the river, and when it is almost halfway loaded, then suddenly launch an attack and catch his little devil off guard. ”

"In addition, in order to guard against the follow-up reinforcements of the devil, I also sent the main force of the second company to me, and let the commander of the second company lead the ambush in the middle and be responsible for reinforcements.

Tell the commander of the second company to be ready for anti-tank combat at any time. ”

"Yes!"

At present, the new second regiment is also not bad in communication equipment.

The orders issued by Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong soon reached the front-line combat units.

……

Headquarters of the new 2nd Regiment.

Just when the old devil Furukawa was thinking about how to use the plan to lure the enemy and defeat the ambushed Eighth Route Army troops.

Li Yunlong was also thinking with Zhao Gang about how to eat the devil's transport force, as well as the combat troops that the little devil might reinforce at any time in the future.

In Li Yunlong's words: "We have completely cut off the water supply to this Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

This Wang Ba in the shell of the king felt thirsty for the first time, and he was not beaten by us, so ah, this first time the king Batou stretched out must be the most unvigilant.

Wait until the devil hurts this time, and next time I want to wait for the little devil to take the initiative to stick out his head and let us cut it, it won't be so easy. ”

Zhao Gang thought deeply about this, and the metaphor of Li Yunlong's image made him even more interesting.

I have to say that Lao Li's psychological insight into devils is quite accurate.

This was indeed an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the living forces of the Japanese army in the stronghold of Huting.

"It's just that, Lao Li, in the stronghold of Huting, there are a lot of mechanized combat units of devils, and there are even two tank squads.

Once the devil sends out tanks and armored vehicles to reinforce it, the battle in which the second company is responsible for reinforcements will probably be very difficult! ”

Zhao Gang has always been worried about this.

In the past, the devil's Iron King Ba, the soldiers who fought retreated again and again, paid a very heavy price for casualties, but never been able to destroy it, Zhao Gang still feels vivid.

Therefore, even if the second company is ambushed, once there are not enough means to deal with the devil's Iron King Eight, this ambush battle may be very difficult.

In this regard, Li Yunlong smiled calmly, and then sighed: "Lao Zhao, if you want to talk about this, I'm afraid we owe Lao Kong a favor again."

Didn't this kid Lao Kong engage in some kind of anti-tank bazooka some time ago!

That guy, used to conduct anti-tank operations, especially the Douding tank that fights the little devils, is simply a dozen accurate.

After I heard about it, I spent nearly a week grinding it on Lao Kong's ear, and this kid sent six bazookas.

This time it just came in handy, let's Lao Li also try this bazooka tank to fight devils, what is the effect. ”

"Okay, you old Li, it turns out that you have been prepared for a long time!" Zhao Gang laughed, and the original worry quickly disappeared.

Li Yunlong was a little depressed and said: "The little devil has a tank unit, and our new second regiment is not nothing."

If it weren't for the little devil raised by the son of a bitch, the blockade stronghold on the outside line would be too tight, and Lao Tzu would really want to pull our tank company over and beat him up. ”

……

The stronghold of Huting Saigo, a large road paved with dirt.

The devil transport troops, pulling forty or fifty waterwheels, continued to advance with the creaking sound of the wheels of the waterwheels, and there was a dead silence around them, which looked particularly gray in this winter that had not yet passed.

The leader of the devil squadron, Nan Shunichiro, rubbed his hands and cursed at the same time.

"These damn dirt roads!"

He cursed incessantly: "On such a cold day, we should be comfortably warming ourselves around the stove in the stronghold, but now we have to rush several kilometers away to fetch water, which is really moldy." ”

The lieutenant on the side was relieved: "Fortunately, if this battle to lure the enemy goes well, everything will be over." ”

Nan Junichiro nodded and said, "Order the sentinels on both wings, as well as the vanguards, to strengthen vigilance, and all troops are on guard against the ambush of the Eighth Route Army at any time." ”

"Hey!"

Nineteenth.

Around 8:45 a.m.

It was the early morning of winter, when the cold wind was raging, and it was the coldest time.

The water transport force, composed of more than 100 little devils, finally arrived at the big river five kilometers away.

Looking at the turbulent river, it seems to be even colder than usual.

Nan Jun Yilang couldn't help but snort, he looked around vigilantly, and then commanded in a low voice: "Set up a guard around to make sure that there is no nearby lurking dirt road, and the camouflage troops will go to the river to get water first!" ”

"Hey!"

After the order was issued, watching part of the team pull more than a dozen water trucks to the river to load water, the devil lieutenant on the side couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the situation doesn't seem to be going well, where are these damn dirt roads hidden, why haven't they launched a surprise attack on us yet?" ”

Nam Jun Ichiro shook his head, he naturally didn't know the situation.

"Regardless of this, it's right to let our combat troops always be vigilant, if these dirt roads really don't appear, we will send these dozen truckloads of water back to the stronghold first, and we can also suspend the problem of water supply."

…… Two or three hundred meters away, the slopes were still covered with snow.

The soldiers of the first company of the new second regiment behind the dirt slopes on both sides, wearing white cloth as a camouflage color, were lurking here.

The reconnaissance sentry quickly returned and reported to the company commander: "Company commander, the devil is already loading water with a water truck!" ”

"What's going on? Did you find anything out of the ordinary? ”

"I don't know, we can't get too close, the little devil's reconnaissance post has spread out a lot, and it has always been extra vigilant.

We could only look through the telescope from a distance and see the little devils by the river loading water with water. ”

"Company commander, do you want to fight?" A platoon of long men tightened the guns in their hands, because of the unusually cold, their hands were a little cold.

The commander of the first company shuddered, knocked his upper and lower teeth quickly, and said: "When the battalion commander ordered, the devil arrived at the river, and the waterwheel was halfway loaded, and then we suddenly launched an attack."

In this way, with the devil's back to the river and no cover and retreat, we can maximize the advantage of the attack.

At the moment, the devil is vigilant, and we can't figure out the specific situation, and if we wait, the little devil is estimated to be full of water.

Forget it, I can't care so much.

Inform the fighters, lurk forward for another fifty meters, and then attack directly! ”

"Yes!"
