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

"I don't know for now."

Luo Youdu's expression became serious, and he said: "Besides, we don't understand the current situation of the friendly army's Xinyi Regiment and other departments."

"Gu Jiaping!!!"

Hearing this, Xu Rui immediately called the communication staff officer Gu Jiaping to him, and said to him: "Immediately send encrypted messages to Xu Dahu and Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment of the friendly army, and ask them about their current situation."

"Yes, group seat."

Gu Jiaping said heavily, then turned around and went down the roof.

Xu Rui, together with Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, picked up the binoculars and continued to observe the army of devils outside the town gate on the south side of Mingjia Town.

"The little devils have already launched battle formations along both sides of the road. Hey, the artillery in the rear is also deployed."

Xu Rui observed for a long time, then put down the binoculars and said to Luo Youdu in a concentrated voice: "It seems that Seishiro Banzono is very confident!".

"The twelve 105mm howitzers we seized from the little devil in the woods on the north bank of the Nanliu River have locked the coordinates of the road five kilometers outside the town entrance in the south of Mingjia Town and the artillery positions on both sides that are likely to be deployed by the devil. .”

Luo Youdu said: "Once the devil's howitzer fires, we will definitely be quickly determined to carry out anti-artillery operations."

"It means that the Devil's Type 89 150mm field cannon on the side of the road under the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located must kill him within one or two minutes of the Devil's cannon firing, or before their cannon fires."

Xu Rui nodded, and said in a concentrated voice: "Xu Dahu's 18th Air Force Battalion is estimated to have been secretly airborne near the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, and can launch a surprise attack on the Devil's cannon position at any time."

"It's just that in Zhenting City, near the old river slope, there must also be the Xinyi Regiment and other units of the friendly army going south."

"So, we must understand the situation in the south."

After a pause, Xu Rui asked Luo Youdu: "Are the bunkers in the town ready?".

"Don't worry, group seat, brothers defending the town, everyone has a nearby bunker that can hide from the guns."

Luo Youdu said in a concentrated voice.

"it is good!!!"

Xu Rui nodded and said.

In less than 2 minutes, Gu Jiaping, who got off the roof and returned to the command room of the Dough Department, quickly came up with two telegrams.

"Regiment, Xu Dahu and Li Yunlong, the head of the friendly army's new regiment, have called back respectively. This is a telegram!"

Gu Jiaping said to Xu Rui, and then quickly passed the two telegrams in his hand to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui nodded, then quickly took it and looked at it.

Then, he handed the telegram after reading it to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu took it and read it quickly, then heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Xu Dahu's 18th Air Assault Battalion has already safely and secretly landed in the woods near the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, without attracting the devil's attention .”

"Leader Li Yunlong and the others, due to the delay on the road, it is estimated that there are still about 10 minutes before they can rush to Jiujiangpo, Zhenting City and other places and start a siege attack."

Xu Rui said in a condensed voice: "It's okay."

"For twenty minutes or so, it's no problem for our troops to defend Mingjia Town."

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "Tuan Zuo, I think the devils are about to launch an attack."

"Let's get off the roof!"

Xu Rui nodded and said, "OK!".

After returning to the command room of the regiment headquarters below, Xu Rui said to Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer: "Call back Xu Dahu and Li Yunlong to inform them of the situation here.".

"In addition, tell Xu Dahu to closely cooperate with Commander Li Yunlong and the others to launch a surprise attack on the devil's cannon position, the devil's defenders in Jiujiangpo and Zhenting City."

Gu Jiaping stood upright and said: "Yes, group seat." Then he turned and walked away.

And just when Xu Rui contacted Xu Dahu and others by radio.

The ghost emissary who came out of Mingjia Town and returned to the two old devils, Takeshita Taro and Banzon Seishiro, reported the conversation with Xu Rui and others to Takeshita Taro and Banzon Seishiro in detail.

When the ghost messenger finished speaking, Seishiro Itazono and Taro Takeshita frowned at the same time.

Especially Itabazon Seishiro, quickly sneered and said: "What Takeshita-kun said before is indeed true, Xu Rui and others will not surrender to the imperial army so easily.".

"It seems that after eating countless of our elites before, the appetite and arrogance of Xu Rui and other enemy commanders have increased a lot."

Takeshita Taro said in a concentrated voice: "Perhaps Xu Rui and others thought that it would be easy for them to defend the town and block us.".

"I didn't expect it at all. The imperial army has secretly deployed eight 97-type medium tanks and three 89-type 150mm field cannons. As long as the cannons fire, the probability of winning Mingjia Town will be very high."

Itabazon Seishiro nodded, and then sent an order to the devil staff officer in charge of the deployment of the troops, and asked, "How is the deployment of the various ministries?".

"It has been launched according to the general's order, and the formation of the battle formation is basically completed! My 105mm howitzer, various 75-type infantry guns, and the artillery positions of the [-]mm artillery have been constructed under the command of the second son of Fukuto. .”

The devil's staff officer said heavily.

"Yossie! Yossie, Yossie!!!"

Itabazon Seishiro nodded in satisfaction, and said to the devil's staff officer: "Immediately order the communications soldiers to contact the cannon position on the side of the road under the mountain where Wangyou Pavilion is located at Xiangji Temple, and ask them to measure the coordinates of Mingjia Town. fire.".

"Yes, Your Excellency the General!"

The devil's staff officer responded, then turned and left.

When the devil left, Taro Takeshita immediately asked: "Mr. Banyuan, how should we fight next?".

"Send a small force to make a tentative attack first, and draw out the enemy's firepower in Mingjia Town."

Seishiro Banzono said: "Although it is impossible to test out all the firepower points, it is also good to be able to attract some of them, and then order the Type 75 infantry artillery and [-]mm artillery to shell them out.".

"Then, the Type 89 150mm field cannon was ordered to carry out long-range bombardment, and the Mingjia Town was bombarded with heavy artillery to drive the main force of the enemy out of Mingjia Town. Then, the Type 97 medium tanks covered the infantry and launched an assault."

Takeshita Taro nodded when he heard the words, which was similar to what he thought.

"Banyuan-kun, let's fight like this."

Takeshita Taro said.

"Takeshita-kun, you command the remaining troops of the 41st Division of the headquarters, follow my next order!"

Itabazon Seishiro said to Takeshita Taro.

"Thank you Mr. Banyuan for giving me the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

Takeshita Taro expressed gratitude, after all, he is no longer the acting head of the 41st Division, and was withdrawn by Shinozuka Yoshinan.

"Takeshita-kun, let's begin!"

Itabazon Seishiro just nodded and said.

"Yes!"

Takeshita Taro said heavily, then turned and walked down the hill where he was, and returned to the temporary division headquarters of the 41st Division.

At 33:[-] in the morning, following Seishiro Itano's order, a devil squadron began to attack Mingjia Town in a scattered battle formation under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire from the rear.

Xu Rui and Luo Youdu soon heard that the devils had started to attack, and immediately rushed to the roof where the regiment headquarters was located, carefully observing.

"This is to test the firepower."

Seeing that there was only one squadron of devils coming to attack, Xu Rui immediately judged Banzon Seishiro's plan. (end of this chapter)
