Li Yunlong bowed, "It is true, but we rely on Qingzhou City and defend the city, so it should not be a problem to defend here." ”

"That's nature."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, hurriedly smiled, the third battalion is a garrison unit, it is impossible to say no in front of the regiment commander!

"However, Nakamura Zhenxiong has been reinforced by the main force of the 7th Brigade, and the Japanese army in this direction under his command has been strengthened to more than 10,000 people, in fact, it has indeed formed a five-to-one strength advantage for our defending troops in Qingzhou City."

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "The next battle is probably much more dangerous." ”。

"How? Can the three battalions withstand it? ”

When Wang Huaibao heard this, he quickly straightened up and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, head of the regiment." ”。

"With the city as a backing, the current level of our three battalions defending the city is very strong, and it can definitely withstand the onslaught of more than 10,000 devils."

Seeing this, Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Not bad." ”。

"But in the midst of arrogance, in the face of the onslaught of devils, we must maintain tactical attention! Nakamura Zhenxiong outside the city is not an unknown person, that old devil, but the commander of the 36th Division of the devil. ”

"Temporarily transferred by Yoshinan Shinozuka to command the attacks of the 9th Brigade and the 15th Brigade and other devils on our independent regiment, this old devil must have a few brushes, not to be underestimated."

Wang Huaibao nodded and said, "Understood, head of the regiment." ”。

"Despise the little devils, but tactically we definitely value the devils!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and then continued to observe the situation of the devil army outside the East Gate City.

It's just that more than 6,000 devils of the 7th Brigade who hurriedly rushed to the east gate of Qingzhou City took a temporary rest and replenished their strength according to the order of Nakamura Zhenxiong.

"Little devil, this is going to rest."

Li Yunlong muttered to himself, then raised and took out the pocket watch that Zhao Gang gave him, opened it and looked at the time, It was only five twenty o'clock in the afternoon.

"Click!!

Just as Li Yunlong opened his pocket watch to look at the time, muttering to himself, footsteps came from the side of the roof.

Li Yunlong, who heard this, looked up and saw that it was the communications soldiers of the headquarters walking quickly.

"Report to the regiment commander, battalion commander, I received a commendation telegram from the military commander in the name of Chang Kaishen."

The communication soldier said with a strange face, this is the third time.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, but quickly took the telegram from the communication soldier and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile at the end: "Chang Kaishen still received a clear telegram from us to kill Prince Fushimi Palace. ”。

"However, when we didn't respond to Chang Kaishen's two telegrams of commendation before, we came to send us a commendation telegram again, and we were not angry?"

After speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion on the side.

Wang Huaibao took it and quickly finished it, and then said with a smile: "Commander, the head of the committee values us very much, especially you who value the head of the regiment." ”。

"Tsk! Regiment Leader, do you want to call Chang Kaishen back, lest the head of the committee think that we despise him at that time? ”

Li Yunlong shook his head when he heard this, and said very complainingly: "Damn, I don't want to have anything to do with this committee chief." ”。

"What's more, you kid also saw what Chang Kaishen's award telegram meant, obviously trying to win us over! Ignore it! ”

Seeing this, Wang Huaibao smiled and said, "Understood, head of the regiment." ”。

Throwing Chang Kaishen's commendation call aside, Li Yunlong continued to pick up the binoculars to observe the devil's camp outside the East Gate.

Due to the fact that the 5 artillery squadrons and 30 guns brought by the 7th Brigade were separated into two parts and built an artillery position behind a hill, some of the Devil's Type 92 infantry guns had already opened fire and carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of the positions at the east gate and outside the city.

Therefore, the artillery fire of the defenders in the city temporarily stopped shelling the devil's camp outside the city, and instead moved the artillery position.

Fortunately, Wang Chenghai, the commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, transferred the artillery very quickly, but he was not hit by the devil artillery reinforced outside the city.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to defend the city.

"The little devil artillery has been strengthened, it seems that the information of the 7th Brigade of the Devil deciphered by the Confidential Section of the Brigade Headquarters before is true, and Yoshinan Shinozuka has transferred three additional artillery squadrons to the 7th Brigade and brought them over by the way."

Li Yunlong put down the binoculars and said in a condensed voice: "Together with the original two artillery squadrons of the 7th Brigade, there are five artillery squadrons, and there are almost thirty Type 92 infantry guns. ”。

"Regiment commander, if so many Type 92 infantry guns concentrate on shelling the east gate, the city fortifications will definitely be hit by heavy artillery fire."

The commander of the third battalion also saw part of the devil's artillery fire and began to shell the east gate, but there were more than a dozen pieces of artillery in this part.

The caller sent by the First Army of the Devils to Zhenxiong Nakamura, which was deciphered by the Confidential Section of the Brigade Headquarters before, showed that Yoshinan Shinozuka had transferred three additional artillery squadrons for the devils of the 7th Brigade to bring them over.

Then, once the 30 Type 92 infantry guns are shelled in clusters, it will definitely be a huge artillery blow to the city fortifications of the East Gate.

"We're just going to have to defend hard."

Li Yunlong thought for a while and said: "If the East Gate is lost under the attack of the devil's next artillery group, the third battalion must be ready to retreat to the front line at any time in the street battle and in the event of unfavorable street fighting." ”。

"Understand, head of the regiment, there is already a plan to ensure that it can be implemented quickly when the time comes."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said in a condensed voice.

"Good!"

Li Yunlong nodded, then looked at the devil's camp outside the East Gate City, and said, "Now wait for the devil's attack, and order the brothers, from now on, all pay attention." ”。

"The next battle must be the biggest after the battle began!"

Wang Huaibao nodded, this is natural.

Compared with before, after Nakamura Zhenxiong received the main reinforcement of the 7th Brigade, the number of troops outside the city has exceeded 10,000.

Then, Nakamura Zhenxiong will definitely be killed by Prince Fushimi Palace because of his ambush, and then he will take Qingzhou City at all costs.

In this way, the next battle must be very fierce and brutal!

"Signal Soldiers!"

After observing the situation of the devil's camp outside the East Gate City a few more times, and finding that the devils did not attack soon, Li Yunlong called the communication soldiers and ordered: "Send a report to Zhang Dabiao, and ask him to command the troops who rushed to attack Hanjiapo and set up an ambush not to return to Dulong Village, but to take a small road to Shuocheng." ”。

"Tell Zhang Dabiao to find a way to take Shuocheng for me again!"

When the signal soldier heard this, he stood up and said, "Yes, regiment commander." Then he turned and left to report.

A few minutes later, at 5:27 p.m., Zhang Dabiao, who had already evacuated from Hanjiapo and returned to Dulong Village along the circuitous path before, received an urgent call from Li Yunlong.

"Commander, this is asking us to fight Shuo City twice!"

After reading the telegram from the hands of the communications soldiers accompanying the army, Zhang Dabiao said to Liu Ziming, the commander of the first company, and others.
