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

Chapter 174 Soldiers approach the city and the letter of persuasion!
After receiving the deciphered telegram from Gu Jiaping and reading it, Xu Rui handed it to Luo Youdu, Chief of Staff.

"After meeting with the Devil's 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment, we will proceed to Jinghai County."

Xu Rui said to Luo Youdu: "It is estimated that they will come to the city around eleven o'clock in the evening.".

"In that case."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu thought for a while, and after doing some calculations, he said, "The commander of the devil's 36th division will probably not be able to launch an attack on Jinghai County immediately."

"Night battles are more suitable for us. Lieutenant General Nagata Taro, the head of the Devil's 36th Division, will realize that night battles are not good for him. It is estimated that even if the Devils' 3 horsemen approach the city at around eleven o'clock in the evening, At best, a small group of troops will be dispatched to harass the city. A large-scale siege will probably take place after dawn the next day."

Xu Rui nodded, agreeing with Luo Youdu's analysis.

But Xu Rui said: "However, there is no guarantee that Nagata Taro, an old devil, will not really attack the city on a large scale at night.".

"So, after the devils approach the city, we still need to be ready to fight at any time."

Luo Youdu nodded.

At this time, Chen Zhenping, the commander of the first battalion, also rushed to Xu Rui's place one after another.

"Tuan Zuo, I heard that the Devil's 36th Division has dispatched troops?"

Chen Zhenping took the first step and asked excitedly.

"of course."

Seeing this, Xu Rui smiled and said: "Chen Zhenping, you look so excited!".

"There are more than 3 devils, you are not afraid!"

Chen Zhenping, the commander of the first battalion, shrugged and said: "What are you afraid of? Soldiers are coming to cover you with water and soil! Regiment seat."

"What's more, isn't there a wise commander in the regiment?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui couldn't laugh or cry, "You kid can flatter you."

"Hey hey hey."

First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Tuan Zuo, when will the Devil's 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment arrive in Jinghai County?"

It was the Second Battalion Commander Liu Shuoming who spoke.

"About eleven o'clock in the evening."

Xu Rui said to Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming: "Both of you, after the devils approach the city, you must guard Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain."

"These are two protruding strongholds in the southwest and southeast of the south gate of Jinghai County. As long as the two mountains outside the city are guarded, the Jinghai County behind can form a corner with the strongholds outside the city. Potential."

Liu Shuoming and Chen Zhenping both nodded and said, "Understood, Tuan Zuo."

"The fourth battalion, fifth battalion, cavalry battalion and other departments need to strengthen their combat readiness tonight."

Xu Rui then said to the Fourth Battalion Commander An Xin and others.

"understand!"

The rest of An Xin and the others also nodded, standing at attention and saluting.

Afterwards, Xu Rui asked everyone to go down and return to their command positions, and they will be ready for battle from now on.

After Chen Zhenping and the others had a conversation with Xu Rui and the others, they dispersed.

Xu Rui said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "According to the plan, we will fight fiercely with the devils from the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment in Jinghai County for a week."

"Relying on the fortifications of the city, try to consume at least [-] devils here, and then the troops will withdraw from Jinghai County and go north, gather at the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge to deploy defenses, and face each other across the river."

Luo Youdu nodded, and said: "Xu Dahu's 18th Air Assault Battalion has initially been able to use the Falcon rotorcraft to fly and maneuver in the air.".

"After our main force goes northward, the 18th Air Assault Battalion can move to Jinghai County by air at any time. When the city retreats to the north, a battalion hidden here will work together to regain Jinghai County and cut off the first The 36th Division and other devil troops' retreat."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued, "Tuan Zuo, then who are you going to hand over to the battalion hidden in Jinghai County?"

"Let the Fourth Battalion Anxin's headquarters hide in the well-found location in the city when the main force withdraws from Jinghai County."

Xu Rui thought for a while and said.

"Understood, Tuanzao!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu nodded and said.

"That's it! Everything is ready, just wait for the little devil to come and die."

Xu Rui smiled and said to Luo Youdu.

"In the fierce battle here in Jinghai County, if we can eat more than 1 devils by then. Then after luring the enemy to go north, our pressure will be much less by then."

Luo Youdu nodded and said.

"Ah."

Xu Rui nodded and said, "That's right!!!"

Afterwards, Xu Rui and Luo Youdu observed the defensive positions outside the city from the top of the south gate.

With such a defense system, Xu Rui felt that it should not be a problem to consume [-] of the [-] devils in the city of Jinghai County.

Unless, the devils don't attack Jinghai County at that time.

It's just that this possibility is unlikely.

After all, it is the most convenient and shortest way to go north from Jinghai County, cross the Xiushui River Bridge, pass through a line of sky, and reach the Huting stronghold to Heyuan County.

And Jinghai County is the most important thing. Lieutenant General Nagata Taro, the head of the Devil's 36th Division, can't give up Jinghai County and go around from other directions, that is, the vast mountains.

At that time, the supply line will be long, and it will be a dead end.

Therefore, in Jinghai County, Xu Rui knew that it was impossible for Nagata Taro to give up and fight no matter what.

Five or six hours later, around nine o'clock in the evening.

Nagata Taro commanded more than 36 devils from the 6000th Division of Devils, and arrived at a small town about two hours away from Jinghai County. The name of the town was Mingjia Town.

And this Mingjia Town is currently the temporary station of the 3st Infantry Regiment of the Devil's 41rd Brigade.

The 41st Infantry Regiment has been here for more than ten days.

After Victory and the 41st Infantry Regiment met, Nagata Taro immediately asked the 41st Infantry Regiment Captain Xiaoyi Hanaya to rush to the temporary headquarters to discuss the battle plan.

After Hanagu Xiaoyi, the captain of the 41st Infantry Regiment, arrived, he immediately said heavily: "My lord, General."

"Um!!!"

Nagata Taro, head of the Devil's 36th Division, nodded, motioned for Hanagu Xiaoyi to come closer, stood by the table, then pointed to a map on a table, and asked Hanagu Xiaoyi: "Hanagu-sama, are you in the Ming family?" After staying in the town for more than ten days, the enemy army in Jinghai County in the northwest did not attack you?".

"No, Your Excellency the General."

Although he was temporarily under the command of the head of the 36th Division, Nagata Taro himself was the head of the Lieutenant General Division. He, a small regiment leader, would not dare to act under the temporary jurisdiction of Nagata Taro.

Immediately, Huagu Xiaoyi nodded, and said: "In Mingjia Town, the humble officer has already commanded the regiment of the post, relying on Mingjia Town to build fortifications.".

"If Xu Rui, the head of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, hadn't wanted to take the initiative to attack us, he wouldn't have traveled south for more than two hours to attack Mingjia Town. That was an unwise choice."

Nagata Taro and the chief of staff of the division Taketo Kensaburo nodded, this is true.

"well!"

Nagata Taro said: "It seems that the enemy commander is not a fool.".

"Hanagu-kun, how is your army gathering now?"

Hanagu Xiaoyi immediately said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, after receiving the telegram from Your Excellency, our department has completed the assembly.".

"Now, at any time, you can join the warriors of the Imperial Army of the 36th Division and march to the northwest of Jinghai County."

Nagata Taro nodded, looked at the dark night sky, and said: "Then follow my 36th Division and continue to Jinghai County.".

"Before twelve o'clock in the evening, we should be able to approach the south gate of Jinghai County."

Huagu Xiaoyi paused heavily and said: "Yes, Your Excellency General.".

Immediately, Nagata Taro stopped talking nonsense, and went directly downstairs, and all the troops set off immediately.

All of a sudden, the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Devils, who had completed the meeting in Mingjia Town, had a total of more than 3 devils, braved the night, and marched along the dirt road leading to Jinghai County.

At around 39:3 in the evening, about one kilometer south of Jinghai County in the dark, a heavy army of more than [-] devils appeared.

Nagata Taro was extremely cautious. After arriving at this position, he immediately ordered the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment to start a battle formation, and then slowly approached Jinghai County.

After arriving outside the full coverage of the artillery fire of the defenders in Jinghai County, Nagata Taro gave the order to stop the advance.

"well!"

After finding the back of a very high mountain and placing the headquarters there, Taro Nagata, Chief of Staff Taketo Kensaburo and other high-ranking devil generals sat on the top of the mountain and looked down at Jinghai County under the night.

"In Jinghai County, the enemy army built a large number of fortifications outside the city."

Nagata Taro said to Taketo Kenzaburo in a concentrated voice.

"Teacher head."

The chief of staff of the division, Kenzaburo Taketo, said in a condensed voice: "The reconnaissance troops that went out have returned to report that the 303rd Regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army is already at Dabei Mountain in the southwest corner of the south gate of Jinghai County, and Xiaobei Mountain in the southeast corner. On the mountain, a position has been built."

"These two mountains, together with the position outside the south gate of Jinghai County, form a roughly triangular defensive position."

Hearing this, Nagata Taro immediately went down to the top of the mountain and returned to the military tent headquarters on the back of the mountain.

At this time, Nagata Taro's division headquarters had turned on the oil lamps, illuminating the military tents.

Inside the military tent, a devil had already placed a square table in it, and a map of Jinghai County had been placed on the table.

"Here, here, division commander."

Chief of Staff Taketo Kensaburo pointed to the map laid out and said.

"Um!!"

Looking at Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain on the map, Nagata Taro nodded, and then said: "It seems that Xu Rui is going to fight with my 36th Division and 41st Infantry Regiment in Jinghai County. A head-to-head duel."

"What courage!"

In the end, Nagata Taro's contempt was beyond words.

"Master, do you want to send someone into the city and send Xu Rui a letter of persuasion?"

Kenzaburo Taketo suggested.
