"Therefore, the 7th Brigade of the little devils will not be able to divide their troops."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, nodded and said: "If the 7th Brigade starts to divide troops in Shuocheng, then with the strength of the main force of the first battalion in Dulongzhai, the 7th Brigade of the Devil must at least divide at least 2,000 troops to garrison Shuocheng, right?" ”。

"Of course!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "According to the information that the political commissar forwarded to us from the brigade headquarters before, the commander of the 7th Brigade of the Devil, Yoshikawa Shojiro, is not a fool, and he will definitely attach great importance to Zhang Dabiao, who raided Shuocheng before. ”。

"It's certain to divide the troops to stay in Shuocheng."

Wang Huaibao nodded, then according to this analysis, the 7th Brigade will definitely not be all of the troops dispatched from Shuocheng to reinforce Nakamura Zhenxiong.

Then, it was probably five or six thousand troops marching west to reinforce Nakamura Zhenxiong.

However, when the time comes, plus the more than 5,000 devils that Nakamura Zhenxiong still has outside the city, it is estimated that it will exceed the Japanese army commanded by Nakamura Zhenxiong by one or two thousand people before.

Fortunately, after the previous battle, the number of casualties among the defenders of the third battalion of the Independent Regiment in Qingzhou City was not large.

Moreover, in the previous city defense operations, Wang Huaibao's three battalions had a lot of experience in defending the city.

What's more, Zhang Dabiao commanded the main force of a battalion to look at Shuocheng in Dulongzhai.

Then, Li Yunlong believes that Nakamura Zhenxiong should always worry about the danger of his back road being cut off.

"Look at the situation outside the East Gate."

Li Yunlong then held a telescope to observe the situation outside the east gate of Qingzhou City, and said: "Nakamura Zhenxiong should not launch a siege operation before the main force of the 7th Brigade marches west from Shuocheng to meet the peace. ”。

"However, all departments of the three battalions must strengthen their vigilance, after all, Nakamura Zhenxiong used tunnels to attack the city before."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said: "Don't worry, commander, I have already reminded each company of the third battalion." ”。

"Hmm!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and then said with a smile: "Now it's up to Zhang Dabiao to see if he can give us some surprises." ”。

"Regiment commander, Zhang Dabiao's threat to Shuocheng, hehe, if the 7th Brigade knows that Zhang Dabiao's main force is in Dulong Village now, it will definitely be very uncomfortable at that time."

Wang Huaibao said with a smile.

"We'll see!"

Li Yunlong laughed.

And Li Yunlong asked the communication soldiers to call Zhang Dabiao back, and soon Zhang Dabiao received a call back from Li Yunlong in the cottage hall of Dulong Village.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao was in the hall of the bandit cottage in Dulong Village, commanding the three main company-level troops of the first battalion to carry out the reinforcement and construction of fortifications on the front of Dulong Village and its flanks, which were not large in scale.

"There, a machine-gun fire point is being deployed."

"Yes, build another mortar position there."

Zhang Dabiao constantly gave orders, commanding the soldiers of each company under his command to build firepower points in various parts of Dulong Village and strengthen the original fortifications built by the bandits.

"Click!!

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and I saw a battalion of communications soldiers running in front of Zhang Dabiao, standing up and saluting, and then reported: "Report to the battalion commander, the regiment commander is calling." ”。

After speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Zhang Dabiao.

"Hmm!"

Zhang Dabiao bowed his head, took the telegram from the signal corps, and quickly stared at it.

After reading it, Zhang Dabiao asked a soldier to call Liu Ziming and the other three company commanders.

In less than two minutes, the company commanders who were directing the soldiers to build fortifications and deploy fire points hurried to the cottage hall of Dulong Village.

"Battalion commander!"

"Battalion commander!"

"Battalion commander!"

Liu Ziming, Xu Jiayou and Lin Yuxuan rushed to the cottage hall of Dulong Village, and when they saw Zhang Dabiao, they stood up and saluted.

Zhang Dabiao bowed his head and motioned for the three of them to lean over.

Then, Zhang Dabiao pointed to a military map placed on the square table, and said to Liu Ziming and others: "The regiment commander called back, knowing that we had taken Dulong Village." ”。

"Congratulations to the brothers for fighting very well, the regiment commander called back and ordered us to order that once the 7th Brigade Division divides its main forces from Shuocheng to the west to reinforce Nakamura Zhenxiong, we will see the opportunity to move south from Dulongzhai to force Shuocheng."

Liu Ziming, the commander of the first company, smiled when he heard this: "Battalion commander, then fight!" ”。

"Of course!"

Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "The reconnaissance team of our battalion has been hidden outside Shuocheng City to monitor, and if there is a situation, they can contact us through the radio at any time. ”。

"If it weren't for the fact that we had captured seven or eight devil radio stations after we had killed the two infantry brigades of the Sakata Wing and the Ito Wing before, it would have been a bit difficult for us to monitor the 7th Brigade in Shuocheng in time."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, after all, the straight-line distance between Dulong Village and Shuocheng is about three kilometers.

The actual distance between you and you must be more than three kilometers.

If you want to detect the situation of the 7th Brigade of the Devils arriving in Shuocheng in time, relying only on the communication barracks to report on foot or on horseback will definitely delay the important military information on the battlefield.

Fortunately, in the previous annihilation of the Sakata Wing and other devils, the independent regiment captured a number of radio stations, and the first battalion was also divided into several units.

"Battalion commander."

Lin Yuxuan, the commander of the third company, said loudly: "It depends on when the 7th Brigade of the Devils in Shuocheng moves?" ”。

"It should be soon."

Zhang Dabiao looked at the mechanical watch on his right wrist, the time had reached half past three in the afternoon, just right, "It's half past three, and it's only more than four hours before it gets dark." ”

"If Nakamura Zhenxiong still wants to launch an attack on Qingzhou City today, the minimum main force of the 7th Brigade should be to set off for the west soon. Signal Soldiers! ”

The first battalion of accompanying the army signal soldier immediately stepped forward and said uprightly: "Battalion commander." ”。

"Send a report to the reconnaissance team monitoring Shuocheng, and let them keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese 7th Brigade that has arrived in Shuocheng. As soon as its main force came out of the city, it marched west to reinforce Nakamura Zhenxiong, and immediately reported to the battalion headquarters by urgent telegram. ”

Zhang Dabiao said with a solemn look in his eyes.

"Yes, Battalion Commander."

The signal soldiers of the first battalion immediately saluted, then turned around and walked to the side, turned on the radio and immediately sent an announcement.

And Zhang Dabiao then said to Liu Ziming and others: "All companies are ready to fight at any time, once the main force of the 7th Brigade of the devil comes out of Shuocheng and moves west, we will copy the back road of his little devil." ”。

"According to the order of the regiment commander, once the main force of the 7th Brigade advances westward, then if it is possible, then go south, capture Shuocheng again, and cut off the key points of the back road of Nakamura Zhenxiong and other devil troops."

When Liu Ziming, Xu Jiayou and others heard this, they all stood up and said: "Yes, battalion commander." ”。

At this time, in Shuocheng, Yoshikawa Shojiro, who received a call back from Nakamura Zhenxiong, was preparing to gather more than 6,000 people from the main force of the 7th Brigade to prepare to march west from Shuocheng.

An unexpected trouble made Yoshikawa Shojiro look quite helpless.

"What do you say? His Royal Highness? Which of His Royal Highnesses is coming to the front? ”

Yoshikawa Shojiro, who was about to walk out of the temporary 7th Brigade headquarters in Shuocheng, looked at the chief of staff Kenichi Kusumoto who stopped him to report the situation, and asked with a frown.
