"Commander, the situation in Qingzhou City has been roughly figured out."

In a dense forest at least one kilometer north of Qingzhou City, after Duan Peng and Li Yunlong and others met, Duan Peng reported to Li Yunlong.

"Tell me about it!!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head, and immediately nodded to Duan Peng.

Duan Peng picked up a branch from the ground in the dense forest, and under the light of the moon, he compared the general urban terrain of Qingzhou City.

"Commander, Qingzhou City has been a large county town in the northwest of Shanxi Province since ancient times, almost the same as Ping'an County, with a city wall, the city wall is tall and thick, and it is very strong."

Duan Peng pointed to Qingzhou City, which was drawn with tree branches, and said, "Therefore, since the devil captured Qingzhou City, he has continued to repair and strengthen Qingzhou City. ”。

"Especially since we recovered the county seat of Ping'an, the devils in the city have built fortifications around the city outside the moat, and there are at least four trenches, and barbed wire has been pulled up in front of the trenches."

At this time, Zhang Dabiao, a battalion commander on the side, interjected: "What about the enemy's troops in the city? ”。

"The enemy army in Qingzhou City is an infantry brigade under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army, with a total strength of more than 1,100 people, and there are only a small number of puppet troops in the city, but this small number of puppet troops is the strength of a regiment."

Duan Peng said in a condensed voice: "Therefore, the total strength of the devils and the puppet army in the city at this time is about two thousand five hundred to seven hundred people. ”。

"Most of the defenders on the trenches around the city built outside the moat are guarded by puppet troops, only some of them are devils, they should be the devils' supervision team, specializing in supervising the puppet army troops in the outer fortifications of the moat."

When Li Yunlong heard this, like Zhang Dabiao and the others around him, his brows were furrowed.

This is a bit difficult to fight, especially since the moat protects the devil defenders in the city well.

Even if it is a surprise attack, it is sure to clear the Imperial Alliance army in the ring fortifications on the periphery of the moat.

Otherwise, if you can't attack the city, even if you have the advantage of troops now, it's a bit difficult to fight.

"Commander !!"

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said in a serious voice: "This is not easy to fight. ”。

"Although the puppet army in the outer fortifications of the moat is very easy to fight, once we can't attack the city through the moat in a short time, we will be in trouble."

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, also nodded and said: "The battle of the night raid on Qingzhou City is a fast word, and it is best to break the city in a short time." ”。

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to take Qingzhou City before the devil reinforcements arrive."

Li Yunlong bowed his head, several people were aware of this situation, and what they said was right.

"Is the moat deep?"

Li Yunlong asked Duan Peng.

"I caught a few puppet soldiers and interrogated them, regiment commander, the moat is at least three meters deep, and I don't know if the devils of Qingzhou City are afraid that we will attack Qingzhou City from the south of Ping'an County, so now there are at least two searchlights on the four gates of Qingzhou City."

Duan Peng said.

"The searchlight is easy to do, and when the time comes, let the sharpshooter with good shooting skills knock out the devil's searchlight."

Li Yunlong didn't care, there were not a hundred sharpshooters in the independent regiment, but dozens of them, and it was very easy to defeat the devil's searchlight.

"What about the devils in the city?"

Li Yunlong continued to ask Duan Peng in a low voice.

"The devils in the city have a total of four infantry squadrons, and each squadron defends a city gate direction."

Duan Peng pointed to the rough Qingzhou City on the ground: "The city defender brigade headquarters in the city is now directly under the command of Yamamoto Kazuki himself, with about a hundred people, plus Yamamoto Kazuki's special team. ”。

"Probably the devils in the brigade headquarters in the city are between one hundred and one hundred and fifty people."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be happy, Yamamoto Kazuki, the devil, really ran away to Qingzhou City.

Especially Li Yunlong smiled and said, "This guy Yamamoto Kazuki is actually the devil commander of Qingzhou City?" ”。

"I caught a few puppet army tongues and didn't know, but the order to strengthen the fortifications of Qingzhou City was indeed issued by Yamamoto Kazuki, and the original captain of the Japanese army defending the city was Oriya Toshio Shaoza."

The first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao smiled at Li Yunlong and said, "Regiment commander, this time you can't let this devil Yamamoto Kazuki escape." ”。

"In the battle of Zhaojiayu's raid, Yamamoto Kazuki, this devil ran too fast!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said with a smile: "That's nature." ”。

"Looking at the current situation in Qingzhou City, is it a state of vigilance inside?"

Duan Peng nodded and said, "Yes, Commander." ”。

"I estimate that Kazuki Yamamoto should have taken over the command of the Japanese garrison troops in Qingzhou City."

Li Yunlong bowed his head, "It should be like this!" ”

"Yamamoto Kazuki is a big sa, and the captain of the devil infantry brigade is generally a junior rank, if Yamamoto Kazuki gets the support of the top, it is not impossible to temporarily take over the command of the Japanese garrison troops in Qingzhou City."

"Now that Duan Peng said this just now, it should be that Yamamoto Kazuki is now in Qingzhou City to take over the command, and it is estimated that it is an order directly issued by Shinozuka Yoshinan."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said loudly: "Regiment commander, now the enemy situation is generally clear. ”。

"How are we going to fight? Storm? ”

Li Yunlong shook his head when he heard this, and said, "A strong attack will definitely not work, although the number of troops we have dispatched now is as high as nearly four thousand five hundred. ”。

"But if you attack it, with the strong defense of Qingzhou City, the casualties will definitely be too great. The little devils are at the head of the city, there must be light and heavy machine guns deployed, hidden fire points, there must be a lot. ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "The best way is to deceive the city like the previous attack on Heyuan County, or concentrate all the artillery, mortars, and flying thunder artillery that you brought, and concentrate on attacking one." ”

"However, even if we concentrate our forces to attack the city gate in one direction, we must first solve the position guarded by the puppet army on the periphery of the moat. Damn, it's fucking annoying to have a moat. ”

Everyone said that it was best to outwit the siege, so that the casualties would be minimal.

However, it is obvious that now the devils of Qingzhou City also realize that the independent regiment that has recovered Ping'an County may attack Qingzhou City at any time.

Therefore, the current Qingzhou City is far stronger than the previous defense and vigilance.

However, when everyone was a little worried, Duan Peng, who was in charge of going south to reconnoiter the enemy's situation in advance, smiled and said, "Regiment leader, we have a way to quietly enter the city and raid." ”。

"What?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and he was surprised.

"Commander, we accidentally found an abandoned tunnel, look at that Chinese New Year's Eve, at least three hundred years, probably from the Ming Dynasty."

Duan Peng said: "It is estimated that it is an escape tunnel left by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty to the outside of the city. ”。

"Can you get into the city?"

Li Yunlong suppressed his excitement, grabbed Duan Peng, the kid, and asked vigorously.
