Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 173 Interception of enemy electricity and the 36th Division dispatched troops!
"Tuan Zuo, you are very confident!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu laughed and said, "Can you eat more than 3 devils in a few months?".

"Why do I feel a little disbelieving."

Seeing this, Xu Rui smiled and said: "It seems that the strength of the enemy and ourselves is six to one, and we are at an absolute disadvantage.".

"However, we are now on the alert and taking the initiative to defend. To fight a defensive battle, the little devils must concentrate at least 303 to [-] troops in order to be able to form an absolute force advantage over our [-] regiment."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "Besides, we are ready now, and we will wait for the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment to come and die."

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, even if we can't take down the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment this time, it shouldn't be a problem to kill [-] to [-] devils."

Seeing that Xu Rui was so confident, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu also smiled and said: "Sir, let's go out of the regiment headquarters and go to the south gate to have a look.".

"Row!"

Xu Rui nodded, knowing what Luo Youdu meant.

Immediately, the two left the regiment headquarters and soon arrived at the south gate of Jinghai County.

At this time, in Jinghai County, the 303st, 15nd, 18th, and [-]th Battalions of the [-]rd Regiment gathered, the newly formed [-]th Cavalry Battalion, the newly formed [-]th Air Assault Battalion, and other units such as artillery companies. A total of about [-] people.

The 303rd Battalion of the 358rd Regiment is still stationed in Lijia Town, and is alerting westward to the main movement of the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.The new Sixth Battalion will stay in Heyuan County and guard the large base in the rear.

"Group seat!"

On the top of the south gate of Jinghai County, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu pointed to the two hills of Dabei Mountain in the southwest corner and Xiaobei Mountain in the southeast corner not far outside the city of Guidance Gate, and said condescendingly: "The first battalion Chen Zhenping has already entered Dabei Mountain, and build fortifications on and below Dabei Mountain.”.

"Liu Shuoming of the Second Battalion has also entered Xiaobei Mountain, and is taking the time to build fortifications on the mountain."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued, "According to the determination of the battle plan, the fourth battalion will defend the infantry position outside the city of Toucheng, the south gate, and the fifth battalion will divide troops to guard the west gate and east gate. At the north gate, a new 1st cavalry battalion will be divided into one The 18th Air Assault Battalion, as the trump card, is in absolute reserve.”

"Order Xu Dahu to command the 18th Air Assault Battalion to withdraw to covert training near the Huting stronghold. This unit does not need to be here in Jinghai County, so as not to be discovered by the devils."

Xu Rui thought for a while and said.

"Row."

Luo Youdu nodded, that's true.

"Currently, the fortifications in the two mountains outside the city of Jinghai County have basically been constructed."

Luo Youdu said: "According to this defense system, we have concentrated more than 500 troops in Jinghai County, which should be able to withstand the onslaught of [-] devils for a week."

"Just one week later, we must withdraw from Jinghai County. Otherwise, it will become a war of attrition. Even if we have a strong defense with this little force, there will be a lot of casualties, regiment."

When Xu Rui heard this, his eyes became serious, he nodded and said, "You are right, Chief of Staff."

"So, we will withdraw to the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge at that time, and then lengthen the transportation and supply lines of the 36th Division and other devil troops. At that time, Zhu Ming's 15th Cavalry Battalion can move to the rear and harass the little devils from Jinghai at any time. The supply line from the county seat to the south of the Xiushui River."

Luo Youdu nodded, then pointed to the positions outside the city, and said: "Tuan Zuo, the positions outside the city, have basically built a large number of trenches, and we have used all the captured devils' barbed wire.".

"Hey, even if the little devil captures Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, he still has to face a hedgehog-like barbed wire position."

Xu Rui nodded and looked outside the city.

I saw densely packed defensive trenches on the ground at least 200 meters outside the city.

Criss-criss-criss-criss-criss-crissed, people who look at it also feel scalp numb.

Although Xu Rui is very confident that he will fight with the 36th Division and the 41st All over the Wing for a week in Jinghai County.

However, the devils have a lot of troops after all.

Once the soldiers approach the city, the attack must be swift and fierce.

With more than 500 troops concentrated in Jinghai County, it is absolutely necessary to use trenches and other fortifications to delay and block the onslaught of devils.

"Let the first battalion and other departments build more trenches on the ground that the devils must pass through to attack. Some raised hillsides, hollow out, and build hidden machine gun bunkers. I want the 36th Division of the Devils and other departments to follow For the attack on Jinghai County, every step must be paid in blood."

Xu Rui said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

"Well, I remembered. Next, someone will be sent to inform Chen Zhenping and others to follow the instructions of the group seat."

Luo Youdu nodded and said solemnly.

"Now, it's just a matter of a few days before the devils come to the city, and we can have a good fight with more than 3 little devils."

Xu Rui laughed and said.

"Tuanzao, we will win."

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu also laughed, appearing very confident.

"That is!!!"

Xu Rui smiled and said.

And when Xu Rui and Luo Youdu were at the south gate of Jinghai County.

At this time, in the division headquarters of the Devil's 36th Division.

"Division commander, the infantry brigades, infantry regiments and other departments of the division, plus the engineering regiment and other departments of the division, have basically assembled."

Major General Kenzaburo Taketo, chief of staff of the 36th Division, said to Lieutenant General Nagata Taro, the commander of the division.

"well!!"

Hearing this, Nagata Taro finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Five days later, at three o'clock sharp in the afternoon, the troops set off and march towards Jinghai County.".

"By the way, have you got the latest information about the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army?"

Afterwards, Taro Nagata asked Kenzaburo Taketo.

"Basically got some, division commander!"

The chief of staff of the division, Kenzaburo Taketo, said, and then waved his hand, indicating that a devil's confidential staff took some intelligence documents, and then handed them to Nagata Taro.

Nagata Taro nodded, took the intelligence documents and read them.

"The actual strength of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, the intelligence department still doesn't know?"

After reading the intelligence documents, Taro Nagata frowned and said, "There are only a few vague words. The approximate strength of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army is between 5000 and [-]."

"At least from the information obtained by Miyamoto Taro, the head of the fourth brigade, who sent reports to the headquarters several times before his death in battle, it is certain that Xu Rui's headquarters has about 3000 to [-] people. After the destruction of the fourth brigade In these seven days or so, the other party will definitely recruit troops."

Taketo Kensaburo said in a concentrated voice: "Division commander, counting the enemy's strength at around [-], it should be about the same."

"Our current division, plus the 41st Infantry Regiment belonging to the Third Brigade, has a total strength of more than [-]. The [-] elite imperial army has a six to one strength advantage. I am afraid that we will not be able to crush this enemy army."

Putting down those intelligence documents, Nagata Taro shook his head and said, "Don't be careless."

"Mr. Zhuteng, the imperial army now lost in Xu Rui's hands already has a full infantry brigade, plus an infantry regiment. The total number of imperial troops has exceeded 1000 and has been taken by the 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army. Long-term annihilation."

"And if so many imperial troops are to be wiped out, according to the previous combat strength and enemy forces, at least 10,000+ elite troops of the Central Army must be concentrated in order to achieve such a great result."

After a pause, Nagata Taro continued, "So, you shouldn't have such an idea of ​​underestimating the enemy."

"The head of the division said so."

Taketo Kensaburo nodded, and said: "Master, we will set off at [-] o'clock in the afternoon in five days, and it is estimated that we will arrive at Jinghai County at [-] o'clock in the evening.".

As he spoke, he pointed to a map of Northwest Shanxi on the table of the Division Headquarters, and said in a concentrated voice.

"Ah."

Nagata Taro nodded, and then said: "There are still four or five days, order the reconnaissance troops belonging to the division to set off before the large troops, and rush to the vicinity of Jinghai County, or after meeting with the 41st Infantry Regiment, they will attack the capital. Hai County and other places to conduct investigations."

"Five days later, when the army arrives at the city of Jinghai County, I need to get more intelligence about the enemy."

Taketo Kensaburo said heavily: "Understood, Division Chief, I will personally arrange this matter.".

"Ok!"

Nagata Taro nodded, then looked at the map with serious eyes.

Nagata Taro did not underestimate the ability of the 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army to annihilate more than 1000 imperial troops.

And time, with the respective preparations of both sides, is constantly passing by.

The remaining part of the 40th Devil Brigade and the 303th Infantry Regiment were annihilated by the 12rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army between Yixiantian and Huting strongholds. At 36:[-] pm on the [-]th day, the [-]th Devils Division officially completed the assembly of troops and supplies. After preparations, start to advance towards Jinghai County.

At the moment of departure, the 36th Division of the Devils directly sent a secret telegram to the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Devils, notifying them that they were ready to join forces in Jinghai County at any time.

Five or six minutes later, Jinghai County, at the head of Nanmen City.

"Unexpectedly, the little devil actually delayed it for two days. I don't know when the devil will set out to kill."

After waiting for ten days without any sign of the 36th Division of the Devils being dispatched, Xu Rui smiled at Chief of Staff Luo Youdu with some doubts.

"Maybe the devil is not ready?"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu tilted his head and smiled.

"maybe!"

Xu Rui smiled, it might be the same.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!"

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran up to the two of them.

"Report to the regiment, Chief of Staff, intercepted enemy telegrams."

The person who came was Gu Jiaping, the communications staff officer of the regiment headquarters. Gu Jiaping stood at attention and saluted and said, "It was sent to the 36st Infantry Regiment by the Devil's 41th Division. The Devil's 36th Division has already dispatched troops!"

"Has the Devil's 36th Division dispatched troops?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui asked after looking at Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

"That's right, the troops have already been dispatched. It is now after three o'clock in the afternoon. All members of the Devil's 36th Division have assembled and set off from the location of their division headquarters. The destination is here, Jinghai County."

Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer, nodded and said.
