"What's the situation?"

Li Yunlong saw the mixed face of Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, and said.

"The head of the regiment, Zhang Dabiao sent a good news that Shuocheng has been captured. In addition, it was sent by the political commissar a minute behind Zhang Dabiao, which is bad news, and I am afraid that after the surprise attack of the first battalion we planned earlier to capture Shuocheng, the east and west will attack the devil troops commanded by Nakamura Zhenxiong. ”

Wang Huaibao handed the two telegrams in his hand to Li Yunlong, and said by the way.

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes suddenly became solemn, and he took two telegrams from Wang Huaibao's hands, and read them carefully one after another.

The two telegrams were enough for Li Yunlong to read for almost two minutes, and they were enough to make Li Yunlong's last expression become serious after being happy at first.

"The main force of the first battalion, under the command of Zhang Dabiao, has captured Shuocheng, annihilated more than 200 Japanese troops and more than 300 puppet troops who stayed in Shuocheng, and captured more than 700 puppet soldiers."

Li Yunlong said: "In Shuocheng, several arms warehouses and grain and grass storage sites have been discovered, and the seizures are very rich. It should be the 9th Brigade and other units of the devil fighting in front, and the ammunition, food and grass materials in the back. ”。

"If it weren't for this telegram from the political commissar that came in the next minute, we and a battalion would have attacked more than 5,000 devils under Qingzhou City and eaten them all, and we should have a great success rate next."

Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion, answered, "It's a pity that the telegram sent by the regiment commander and the political commissar was an urgent call from the brigade headquarters, and the Confidential Section of the brigade headquarters deciphered the latest encrypted radio between Nakamura Zhenxiong and the headquarters of the First Army of the Devils. Nakamura Zhennan had already received reinforcements from Yoshinan Shinozuka, and reinforcements from the 7th Brigade would arrive at the castle around three o'clock. ”

"A battalion of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold the Shuocheng city that has just been captured."

Although Li Yunlong was unwilling, he also nodded and said in a condensed voice: "Yes, this is an unexpected piece of information!" ”。

"Although it didn't come in time, but in general, it was a blessing in misfortune to avoid that before Zhang Dabiao and they completely captured Shuocheng, the Japanese 7th Brigade rushed to Shuocheng and the Japanese troops in the city to attack Zhang Dabiao and them."

Wang Huaibao nodded, if this is the case, the main force of a battalion of more than 1,500 surprise attacks on Shuocheng will be hit by the sudden arrival of the 7th Brigade of the Devils, and the main force of the first battalion that is storming Shuocheng will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

After all, who knew that the 7th Brigade of the Devil would be secretly transferred by Shinozuka Yoshinan to reinforce the devil commanded by Nakamura Zhenxiong?

"Commander, what should Zhang Dabiao do now?"

Wang Huaibao said in a condensed voice.

Li Yunlong did not speak immediately, but walked to the map placed on the table next to him, and his eyes immediately stared at the map.

"If Shinozuka Yoshinan does not transfer the 7th Brigade to reinforce Nakamura Zhenxiong, then after Shuocheng is captured by us, the 7th Brigade will let Shinozuka Yoshinan transfer reinforcements later, and we have three hours to eat the Japanese troops along the way of Nakamura Zhenxiong."

Li Yunlong said with a little pity: "But there is no if, the strength of the first battalion to attack Shuocheng is only more than 1,500 people. ”。

"Although the weapons and equipment are very good, a large number of weapons and equipment, ammunition, grain and grass and other materials in Shuocheng have been seized. However, Zhang Dabiao's troops in his hands were only more than 1,500, and once the 7th Brigade of the Devil Regiment had at least 7,600 men and horses under Shuocheng, it would be troublesome to be blocked in Shuocheng. ”

Wang Huaibao of the 3rd Battalion immediately suggested: "Regiment Commander, according to the enemy situation transmitted to us by the brigade headquarters, the enemy's 7th Brigade may arrive in Shuocheng at about 3:20 in the afternoon. ”。

"If the main force of the first battalion is still in Shuocheng, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the siege of the Japanese army of 7,600 to 8,000 people!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he said to Wang Huaibao: "You mean to let Zhang Dabiao's main battalion withdraw from Shuocheng?" ”。

"Yes!!"

Wang Huaibao nodded and said: "After all, the enemy's 7th Brigade is a new force, and according to the decipherment of the Confidential Section of the Brigade Headquarters, Shinozuka Yoshinan also transferred three additional artillery squadrons to the Japanese army commanded by Nakamura Zhenxiong, plus the two artillery squadrons under the 7th Brigade, that is, five artillery squadrons. ”。

"Zhang Dabiao rushed to Shuocheng, but he didn't have the Devil Type 92 infantry gun and other infantry guns that we captured before. Once the 7th Brigade came to Shuocheng, the main force of the first battalion did not withdraw from Shuocheng and was blocked in the city, and the total number of Devil's Type 92 infantry guns in these five artillery squadrons may be thirty according to the Devil's artillery configuration! ”

After a pause, Wang Huaibao himself felt that the matter was a little serious, and said: "With so many artillery, Zhang Dabiao may not be able to hold Shuocheng at that time, how can we cooperate with us to carry out an east-west attack on the devil troops of Nakamura Zhenxiong?" ”。

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately felt serious.

In general, more than 1,500 people were blocked in Shuocheng and bombarded by so many Type 92 infantry artillery, even if it was a battalion of infantry combat elite.

If they wanted to withstand the shelling of the 30 Type 92 infantry guns, the more than 1,500 soldiers of the 1st battalion of the Independent Regiment defending Shuocheng after the capture of Shuocheng also suffered heavy casualties.

"Damn, if the devil doesn't transfer the 7th Brigade to reinforce Nakamura Zhenxiong, we have the opportunity to work with Zhang Dabiao to attack and eat the devil commanded by Nakamura Zhenxiong."

Li Yunlong slammed his fist on the table and said with great pity.

"Regiment commander, what about the main force of the first battalion? Do you want to defend Shuocheng, or evacuate Shuocheng? ”

Wang Huaibao said in a condensed voice, his expression serious.

"In the direction of Shuocheng, the main force of Zhang Dabiao's first battalion is too different from the enemy's 7th Brigade that is about to enter Shuocheng. And you reminded me that Yoshinan Shinozuka also transferred three artillery squadrons to the 7th Brigade to bring reinforcements to Nakamura Zheno. ”

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said: "Shuocheng will definitely not be able to hold it, even if it is held, under the concentrated shelling of so many devil-type 92 infantry artillery, Zhang Dabiao, who did not carry artillery, must have been bombarded by a large number of devils' artillery during the battle to defend the city, and the casualties caused must be very large." ”。

"Immediately ask the communications corps to inform Zhang Dabiao of the situation, and order Zhang Dabiao to take away as much ammunition and weapons and equipment as possible, but the weapons, equipment, ammunition, and some grain and grass that can be taken away cannot delay the speed of the troops' march."

Wang Huaibao didn't walk away immediately, but said in a condensed voice: "Regiment leader, in Shuocheng, there are a large number of devils' weapons, equipment and ammunition, all of which are provided with supplies for devils along the way in Nakamura Zhenxiong!" ”。

"It's a pity that once so much ammunition and food and grass are destroyed."

Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Zhang Dabiao and the others are more than 1,500 people, and it is already okay to take away some of them." ”。

"The telegram ordered Zhang Dabiao and them, in addition to the seizures that could be taken away, to destroy all the supplies of other devils in Shuocheng, and let Zhang Dabiao withdraw from Shuocheng before three and ten o'clock."
