The surprise attack by the defenders in the city last night was also because the Japanese security forces somewhat relaxed their vigilance.The Japanese army, which re-enhanced its vigilance and reconnaissance, asked itself that it had already monitored the 51st Army, and the mobilization of troops would definitely not escape their surveillance.

After such an analysis, it is very likely that this group of scattered but elite raiding troops did not come from the 51st Army.Coming to this conclusion, Dizhou Libing patted the table in his heart and said, "No! It's the Shucheng army! They're here!"

As soon as these words came out, the commanders who stayed in the combat command room also felt tense.Even if the super high class has not found out more useful situations so far.But these commanders were also full of curiosity and worry about that mysterious army in Shucheng.

If this army really came to Lu'an, then the troops they had to deal with would naturally be the main force of the remaining divisions.Dizhou Libing, who does not know the size of this force, is really worried about the safety of the rest of the division.

"Your Excellency, division commander, if the mysterious troop in Shucheng really appears, then we really need to strengthen our vigilance. To ensure the safety of the division, I think it is necessary to strengthen air defense reconnaissance, and we must find this troop as soon as possible."

"Agreed! Such a large force has entered Lu'an, and it may not be easy to hide. According to the reconnaissance telegram sent by Lu Hang earlier, Shucheng has now been occupied by the Chinese army. This force must have come last night. of!"

The Japanese army, which also fought a lot with the anti-Japanese troops, knew very well that most of the anti-Japanese troops liked to march at night in order to prevent Japanese air strikes.And last night, the security forces they deployed on the periphery were attacked frequently, probably to clear the obstacles to the march.

Aware of this possibility, Dizhou Libing also quickly said: "Immediately send a report to the Army Aviation to send additional reconnaissance planes to carry out aerial reconnaissance in Lu'an. Order all security forces to pay close attention to the enemy's situation around the station .

If this army has really sneaked into Lu'an, then they must want to sneak attack us.The frontline troops were ordered to seize the time to build fortifications.From the division side, draw a wing and send it to the forward position. "

As the saying goes, the unknown is the scariest thing.Faced with this mysterious force that encircled and wiped out nearly half of the division's troops, Dizhou Libing said that he was not worried at all, even if it was impossible.Now that you know it, you must take some precautions.

As a result, it was obvious that as Dizhou Libing added troops to the outer security forces, Xu Sandao and others who were in charge of reconnaissance also quickly confirmed the location of the Japanese army division.After confirming the location of the Japanese division headquarters, Xu Sandao also quickly reported it.

Hu Biao, who was waiting for the news in the mountains, saw the telegram sent by the reconnaissance team, spread out the map of Lu'an on the ground, and said with a smile: "The little devil is really arrogant! He even set up the headquarters at a distance from Lu'an." A small town less than thirty miles away!"

"Detachment Captain, judging from the information sent back by the reconnaissance team, the little devil has deployed a lot of security troops on the periphery. I'm afraid it will not be easy to attack the Japanese army's division garrison. Besides, there is a road outside the town, and the little devil can attack at any time." You can retreat!"

"Retreat! If they retreated yesterday, I might have nothing to do with them. It's a pity that the little devil has sent troops to the periphery and started to build fortifications. The little devil should know that we are coming and is strengthening the defense!

Since the little devil has taken precautions, we don't need to hide.Inform the troops that they are preparing for battle tonight, so make a fuss.Send a telegram to the 51st Army to make them ready to support at any time. "

"Yes, Captain!"

If someone else heard this, they would probably find it incredible.The 51st Army stationed in Lu'an has two main divisions at any rate, while Hu Biao has less than 2000 troops in his hands.

Even if they cooperate in combat, it should be Hu Biao who cooperates with the 51st Army.But when it came to Hu Biao, the 51st Army was asked to cooperate.The seemingly absurd situation, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the task force, has become very common.

The No.20 Sixth Army, which gained a lot of benefits in the battle in Shucheng earlier, except for sending a guard regiment to cooperate with the battle, the rest of the troops basically stayed in Huoshan, and did not dare to attack at will, for fear of confronting the little devil head-on.

This time, when they came to Lu'an City, the 51st Army stationed in Lu'an adopted a more conservative defensive strategy.The little devil only used a small number of defensive and alert troops to prevent the 51st Army from going out of the city at will, and could only stick to their defensive positions.

Knowing these circumstances, Hu Biao did his part to undertake the task of the main attack.And he believes that Yu Xuezhong should be more willing to cooperate than let the 51st Army play the main attack.In that case, the risk to the 51st Army would be smaller.

As Hu Biao's combat order was issued, Xu Sandao and others who were in charge of the pre-war reconnaissance also became busy.The combat unit led by Qin Tianyou had already set up an ambush on the road where the Japanese army might retreat in advance.

The rest of the combat troops have also made corresponding combat preparations.For Hu Biao, among the troops he can command, the real main force is the special detachment.Prisoner of war camps, more often they can only beat side drums.

The officers and soldiers recruited from the 26th Group Army were assigned to the prisoner-of-war camps as the backbone according to different positions.In addition, after some selection, Hu Biao also formed a reserve company with Lei Xiong as the commander.

Although this reserve company is not as effective as the two combat companies.But in Hu Biao's view, the combat effectiveness of this reserve company should be stronger than that of the prisoner-of-war company.Against a squadron of little devils, it's not a big problem after all.

Knowing that Hu Biao was going to attack tonight, Yu Xuezhong, who was stationed in Lu'an City, was really surprised.Although he felt that it was somewhat embarrassing to cooperate in the battle, he still wanted to see how powerful the so-called task force was!

Chapter Table of Contents Chapter [-] Let you defend a few ways!

Studying and judging the enemy's situation is also a quality that leading generals must possess.By raising supplies and the troops were attacked, the head of the Japanese division saw that Hu Biao and his party had arrived, and quickly made corresponding defensive deployments based on the judged situation.

According to the mobilization and defensive deployment of the Japanese army, Hu Biao also quickly analyzed that the Japanese army was already on guard against it.Immediately changed the combat strategy, decisively decided to attack on this point, and hit the Japanese division by surprise.

Even in the eyes of many people, Hu Biao is better at fighting tricks.But if you really want to fight a serious battle, Hu Biao will naturally do it.As far as the current cards of the two armies are concerned, Hu Biao feels that even if they confront each other head-on, his side should have a better chance of winning.

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong also knew that this was a rare opportunity.Even if the remaining divisions of the Japanese army that had been guarding outside the city for several days could not be severely damaged, and they could be driven out of Lu'an, for the 51st Army, the crisis could be postponed.

Yu Xuezhong, who was in charge of protecting the flanks of Wuhan, knew very well that once Lu'an fell, the No. 20 Sixth Army that retreated to Huoshan would have a hard time resisting the Japanese advance.At that time, the flanks of the Wuhan defenders were exposed to the Japanese soldiers, and they could hardly absolve themselves of the responsibility.

Quickly convened a meeting of officers at the first level of the division and regiment under his command, and Yu Xuezhong decided to send troops to a division.The rest of the troops still stood firm to ensure that after the troops dispatched troops, they would not be caught off guard by the little devils.This can be regarded as two-handed preparation.

Hearing the combat order issued by Yu Xuezhong, a division commander quickly said: "Sir, if the attack fails, the combat troops may be very dangerous. The little devil still has tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city! "

"I believe you have all heard about the two truckloads of weapons and ammunition I received outside the city yesterday. Do you know who sent these weapons and ammunition to us? You also know that the troops that wiped out several Japanese troops in Shucheng Who is it?

Our attack this time is more to cooperate with this friendly army that has come from afar.Although I don't know how many people there are in that army, they have already proved their strength with their record.Make an assist, are you still afraid?

Secondly, we must be clear about one thing. The little devils outside the city will launch a full-scale attack on us sooner or later.If so, how long can we hold on?Once Lu'an falls, Shangfeng will pursue the responsibility, who can bear it?

Now that someone is helping us deal with the little devils outside the city, we only need to use part of our troops to cooperate in the battle, why are you still hesitating?Could it be that you are all scared out of your wits by the little devil, don't you dare to confront the little devil? "

Yu Xuezhong naturally knew that his subordinates were afraid of war.In fact, not only his subordinates are afraid of the Japanese army, but even he is not?Among the generals of the national army, how many dare to say that they have confidence in the victory of the Japanese army?

Now Hu Biao hopes that he will send troops to cooperate with him. If he dares not even do this, there will be no face for the 51st Army to spread the word.Not to mention, Hu Biao first sent them a batch of weapons and ammunition, and then decided to let him dispose of the captured spoils.

Facing Yu Xuezhong who was full of anger, the division heads under his command did not dare to say anything.Even among these high-ranking commanders, soon the main regiment commander asked for a battle.In this regard, Yu Xuezhong was also very pleased, feeling that these subordinates could still be saved after all.

According to the battle plan discussed with Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong quickly said: "This time our department will send three main regiments to cooperate with the task force to go out of the city to fight. Secondly, the guard regiment directly under the army will also participate in this offensive operation.

With Shilipu as the focus of the attack, they will send people to contact our department after nightfall.Use a main force to cooperate with them in attacking Shilipu.Strive to encircle and wipe out the Japanese troops stationed in Shilipu in the shortest possible time.

The rest of the troops, led by me personally, will set up an ambush in the Wangjialing area to block the reinforcements sent by the Japanese division.The detailed combat plan will be issued to each regiment according to the battlefield situation.After going down, the regiments quickly made preparations for battle! "

"Military seat, you still need to be in command in the city, why don't you let me go in this battle!"

One of the division commanders still felt a little worried when he heard that Yu Xuezhong was going to lead his troops to fight in person.Once Yu Xuezhong has something good or bad, the 51st Army is likely to collapse without a fight.It is still very dangerous to come to the front line rashly!

As a result, Yu Xuezhong still shook his head and said: "You have been fighting with me for many years, and you have seen that I am afraid of the enemy and dare not move forward. What's more, the battle tonight is volatile, and I will personally command it, which is also convenient for the mobilization of troops.

Most importantly, the commander of the task force will meet me outside the city tonight.They helped us fight the war, and I didn't even have the courage to go out of the city. What would others think?I hope that through this battle, we can clear the name of our Northeast Army, understand? "

"Yes, Military Seat!"

Yu Xuezhong, who was born in the Northeast Army, is also a confidant of Zhang Shaoshuai who is under house arrest.Joining the national army's combat sequence, the once-prominent Northeast Army also fell apart after Zhang Shaoshuai was placed under house arrest, and was not very popular with Lao Jiang.

Even if the Northeast Army has a lot of combat power, after all these years of tossing, the Northeast Army can only live better than other miscellaneous troops.But in terms of food and salary, they are still subject to certain restrictions, and they cannot develop and starve to death.

As the 51st Army began to assemble its troops, Hu Biao, who was waiting in the mountains and ready to go, looked back at the drizzle that began to fall in the evening.

"Yes, Captain!"

After the telegram was sent, Hu Biao looked at the reserve company that had been on standby for a long time, and said again: "Old Lei, follow me!"

"Yes, detachment leader! Reserve company, let's go!"

Through the secret deployment and control of the reconnaissance team, the scouts redeployed by the Japanese army near Lu'an City have been fully monitored by the reconnaissance team.In order to ensure the safety of the 51st Army leaving the city, Hu Biao naturally had to deal with the scouts of these little devils first.

The confrontation between scouts is also an extremely dangerous thing.In order to ensure the smooth removal, Hu Biao sent out both task forces.The only ones staying with Hu Biao this time are the accompanying guard platoon and the newly formed reserve company.

The rest of the prisoner-of-war companies assembled on standby, after receiving the departure order, stepped out of the mountains one after another, and began to gather at the combat site under the guidance of the combat team members.At this time, the sky had not yet darkened.

If the sky is clear, Hu Biao may have to wait for a while.But since it was raining lightly, Hu Biao believed that the little devil's reconnaissance plane would not dare to take off again.Without the threat of fighter planes, why is Hu Biao afraid of being discovered by the Japanese army?

Although the Japanese divisions took precautions, they deployed more troops to the periphery to act as defensive and alert troops.But for Hu Biao, he didn't need to eliminate the troops deployed by the Japanese army on the periphery at all, but directly attacked the main force of the Japanese army division.
