"It seems that Shinozuka Yoshinan is going to concentrate two infantry brigades and eat Lao Tzu in one bite!"

Zhao Gang said: "The 15th Brigade of the Devil was previously subordinate to the troops directly under the Devil's North China Front Command, and it was almost the same as the 9th Brigade of the Devil's Independent Army, and it was also considered elite. ”。

"Two infantry brigades, at least fifteen thousand people in total. Lao Li, not to be underestimated! ”

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said, "That's nature!" ”。

"According to the intelligence of the headquarters, the 15th Brigade has set off from usual, and in three days, it has actually secretly arrived at the front line of Jialin City."

Zhao Gang asked Wei Dayong, who was standing on the side of the regiment headquarters, to spread out the map on the table, and then pointed to the map of the northwest of Jin and said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, the devil put the 15th Brigade in Jialin City, then it depends on where the 9th Brigade that went north in advance will settle down now." ”。

"If they all settle in Jialin City, then the main direction of the devil's attack will be in the direction of Jialin City!"

Li Yunlong felt that it was unlikely, the defense situation of Liujiazhen, and in the past three days, several batches of reconnaissance planes of the devils flew over Liujiazhen.

It is impossible for Shinozuka Yoshinan not to know the aerial reconnaissance information transmitted by the reconnaissance plane, and in the face of the fortifications in Liujiazhen, it is possible that the devils will not be able to attack Liujiazhen hard?

What a loss of troops!

Li Yunlong gave Zhao Gang the analysis he wanted, but Zhao Gang didn't veto it much.

"Having said that, the 9th Brigade went north ahead of the 15th Brigade, but at a greater distance. At present, most of them are assembled on the Pingpu railway line, and they are still gathering in the east of Yima County for the time being. ”

Zhao Gang pointed to the map and said, "I just don't know if this 9th Brigade will go to Jialin City and the 15th Brigade, or will it rush to the Shuocheng area to assemble!" ”。

"Two days ago, I asked the third battalion and the first battalion that were still stationed in Qingzhou City to send some scouts to monitor the vicinity of Shuocheng, is there an update on the situation?"

Li Yunlong asked.

"No!!"

Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "Zhang Dabiao and Wang Huaibao have both reported to the regiment headquarters several times, and the direction of Shuocheng is very quiet. ”。

"The devils in Shuocheng are now strictly guarded, and they have not sent reconnaissance forces to approach Qingzhou City, so I don't know what the devils in Shuocheng are doing. There was no trace of the 9th Brigade assembling in Shuocheng! ”

When Li Yunlong heard this, he looked at the map and pondered, "Could it be that the devils of these two brigades will gather in Jialin City?" ”

"This feels like both brigades are counterattacking from the west of Jialin City, it's a bit of a waste of troops!"

Zhao Gang said at this time: "But Lao Li, we are ready now. ”。

"As long as Liujia Town and Qingzhou City are controlled, these two important places are not lost, and Ping'an County will be able to be saved!"

Li Yunlong nodded, what do you want to do, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for Shinozuka Yoshinan to make a move.

"Hmm!!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and then said: "However, we still have to send more reconnaissance forces out, and we must always know the next assembly direction of the 9th Brigade." ”。

"Otherwise, the devils really concentrated two brigades to storm the defensive position of Liujia Town, and we are also struggling! After all, the devils of the two brigades are also a big chunk of devil attack groups! ”

Zhao Gang's eyes became serious, and he said: "Lao Li, don't worry, all the reconnaissance Lao Li of our regiment has been scattered, and the next assembly of the 9th Brigade is assured, it is very easy to catch it." ”。

"Then wait for the devil to make a move!"

Li Yunlong smashed his fist on the map and said in a condensed voice: "Let's wait for work and see how the devil acts!" ”。

Zhao Gang bowed, in fact, there is no need to worry about it, Qingzhou City and Liujia Town have already built fortifications, especially the first line of Qingzhou City, even if the devil feints to attack Liujia Town, the main direction of attack is in the direction of Qingzhou City.

Even if Qingzhou City is lost, there is still a first-line heavenly position behind, and it is also an important place where a man can not open it.

The headquarters of the first battalion has been tightly defended on the front line, just waiting for the devil to make a move.

As a result, Li Yunlong ordered all battalions of the Independent Regiment to enter a state of alert combat from now on.

All of a sudden, Ping'an County and other places began to close the city and enter a tense state.

At this time, the 15th Brigade of the Devils assembled in Jialin City was already in place.

The 9th Brigade, on the other hand, was still assembled on the side of the Pingpu Railway east of the county town of Eima, and did not receive an order from Yoshinan Shinozuka for the time being.

At this time, it was ten and three minutes in the morning on the fourth day after the battle of Qingzhou City!

In Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the First Army of the devils!

Shinozuka Yoshinan and the devil staff officers of the headquarters looked at the huge map of northwest Jin and kept staring.

Major General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the Devil's First Army Headquarters, stood beside Shinozuka Yoshinan, pointed to the huge map with a command pole, and immediately said: "Commander, at present, the 15th Brigade has all arrived in Jialin City, and it will meet the rest of the Fourth Brigade. ”。

"In Jialin City, there are already more than 9,000 imperial troops."

Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the huge map of northwest Jin, nodded, and asked, "Miyano-kun, what about the situation of the 9th Brigade?" ”。

"The 9th Brigade is currently assembled on the side of Pingpu Road, east of Yima County, waiting for the commander's order."

Miyano Michiichi heard this and said, "Commander, is the 9th Brigade assembling in the direction of Jialin City or Shuocheng?" ”。

"What do you suggest?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan didn't decide right away, but asked Miyano Michiichi for advice.

Miyano Dao pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "According to the aerial reconnaissance of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Qingzhou City, as well as Liujia Town, etc., within three days after the Battle of Qingzhou City, it was found that the other party has deployed heavy troops in the two main defensive areas of Qingzhou City and Liujia Town. ”。

"Li Yunlong seems to be afraid that the imperial army will attack from two directions!"

After a pause, Miyano Daoyi pointed to the huge map of northwest Jin, and continued: "However, commander, although the road is not easy to walk from the west of Jialin City, the large army will only encounter the resistance of the enemy troops after they reach Liujia Town. ”。

"If Liujia Town can be taken at the first time, then the heavy troops of the imperial army can quickly reach the city of Ping'an County."

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded and pointed to a section of the road from Jialin City to Liujia Town: "Although this road is not easy to walk, there are no mountain passes and dangerous passes on the road, and the large army can reach Liujia Town smoothly." ”。

"However, Liujiazhen is already a heavily defended place for the enemy, and I am afraid it will not be easy to capture!"

As soon as Miyano Dao heard this, he condensed and said, "What does the commander mean is that the 9th Brigade is assembling in the direction of Shuocheng?" ”。

"One more line of attack!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan calculated the gains and losses, and finally chose to launch an attack in two directions, after all, if the attack in the direction of Qingzhou City was successful, it would also be able to contain a large number of troops of the independent regiment.

"Two brigades, plus the troops in Shuocheng City, the rest of the fourth brigade, our counteroffensive against the independent regiment this time, the total strength is as high as 18,000 people, the advantage is mine!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan's face was solemn, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe it, with so many troops, it can't annihilate the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army with a maximum of 8,000 troops, hum!" ”。
