I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 199: Conspiracy to lure the enemy
Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan and the others also looked at Xu Qingfeng in unison. The Japanese reinforcements on the southern line stopped at the ancient town of Changlinhe and stopped advancing.

This caused a change in the ambush plan they had made before.

They were all looking forward to what Xu Qingfeng would do.

Xu Qingfeng said calmly, "The current situation is actually easy to handle."

"How easy?" Lin Baoguo couldn't help asking.

"Immediately send power to General Xu Yuanquan and ask him to order the encirclement troops to immediately launch a full-scale attack on the remaining main force of the Japanese army in the encirclement, forcing the devils in the south of Hefei to ask for help from other Japanese troops.

As a result, the Japanese reinforcements here in Changlinhe continued to advance and went to reinforce. "

Xu Qingfeng said: "In this way, even if the devils know that going to reinforcements may encounter an ambush, they have no choice. This is conspiracy and persecution!"

Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan, Lin Baoguo and the others couldn't help but nod their heads, expressing their approval of Xu Qingfeng's approach.

However, Zhou Weiguo soon raised a very important question.

"Qingfeng, as far as I know, the main force of the Japanese army surrounded by our army in the south of Hefei City still has 2000 troops.

And built a complete ring of fortifications, and the various units of the Hefei defenders who surrounded them suffered a lot of losses after the war.

The most important thing is that they lack heavy weapons to attack fortified positions, and if they attack rashly, it may be difficult to achieve beneficial results. "

After a pause, Zhou Weiguo continued, "Whether they will be defeated by the Japanese army is hard to say."

Lin Baoguo couldn't help nodding his head and said in agreement: "That's right, Commander Zhou also took away another [-] of their troops. Although it is not a big problem for the various units of our Hefei defenders to besiege the Japanese army, if we want to attack, I am afraid they will be able to do so with their words alone." Not caught."

Xu Qingfeng said: "Your worries are not unreasonable. In this way, I will take the more than 1000 reinforcements brought by Deputy Commander Zhou back to reinforce the Hefei defenders.

In addition, I also took away half of the artillery battalion, plus the guard company, to enhance the attack capabilities of various units of the national army. "

"The rest of the main force is all under the unified command of Deputy Head Zhou, and is responsible for ambushing the Japanese troops in Changlinhe Town.

As soon as the devil comes out, beat me hard! "

Xu Qingfeng added: "Let's keep in touch. As soon as the devil's reinforcements enter your ambush circle, send someone to notify me immediately, and I will send soldiers to reinforce you at high speed, so as to wipe out the devil!"

Zhou Weiguo and Liang Shan both felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

With Xu Qingfeng personally leading people back for reinforcements, the battle in the south of Hefei City will definitely be fine.

As a result, the Huben group quickly split into two.

Xu Qingfeng took half of the artillery battalion, the guard company, and a thousand reinforcements borrowed by Zhou Weiguo from Xu Yuanquan. There are still more than 800 people left.

Go north quietly and return to Hefei for reinforcements.

Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan and others led the first battalion, second battalion, third battalion, fourth battalion and fifth battalion, reconnaissance company, cavalry company, and another half of the artillery battalion, as well as more than [-] people from Lin Baoguo's command, secretly to the north of Changlin River Lurking and monitoring the movements of the Matsumoto Regiment.

Although Xu Qingfeng took away more than 1000 people, Zhou Weiguo and the others still had more than 3000 people in their hands, and they had experienced the ambush of the Shanchuan United.

The actual combat experience and morale of the recruits have been greatly improved.

The combat effectiveness is much stronger than before on the Eastern Front.

Because before Xu Qingfeng set off, he ordered Zhou Weiguo to direct Liu Bohui's communication office to send his plan to Xu Yuanquan through the radio.

So, when Xu Qingfeng quietly returned to Hefei with reinforcements.

Xu Yuanquan personally led a company of guards out of the city to meet them, and secretly met Xu Qingfeng in a forest outside the encirclement.

"Xu Qingfeng, who is a humble employee, has met the officer." Seeing Xu Yuanquan, Xu Qingfeng immediately stood at attention and saluted.

After all, the opponent is the commander of the group army, with the rank of lieutenant general, and this person performed well in the war of resistance, so he deserves respect.

This is the first time for Xu Yuanquan to see Xu Qingfeng in person. He looked him up and down, and then he couldn't help but nodded and praised: "Regimental Commander Xu is indeed a young talent. Our army has such young heroes. Why worry that the Japanese invaders will not be destroyed!"

Xu Yuanquan said these words not entirely to compliment Xu Qingfeng.

To a large extent, it came from the heart, because Xu Qingfeng's brilliant victories in a series of battles in the south of the Yangtze River were beyond the reach of him, the commander of the group army.

Even if you don't care about these things, the siege of Hefei in front of you was only solved by Xu Qingfeng and his troops who arrived in time.

Therefore, he admired and appreciated Xu Qingfeng both in public and in private.

"Excellent, sir." Xu Qingfeng said bluntly: "It is not too late, sir, please order the besieging troops to prepare for the attack. I brought half an artillery battalion to provide artillery support and suppress the Japanese firepower."

Xu Yuanquan nodded happily and said, "Okay, I will order the regiments to start attacking."

Therefore, Xu Yuanquan immediately gave instructions to the adjutant beside him and asked him to convey his order.

And Xu Qingfeng also asked Chen Qifeng, who had already returned to the construction, to lead a guard company to protect half of the artillery battalion, choose a place to build an artillery position, and prepare for artillery support.

After everything was deployed, Xu Qingfeng and Xu Yuanquan came together, on the city wall of the south gate of Hefei, where the view was wide, and they could have a panoramic view of the battlefield in the south of the city by holding up the binoculars.

Almost, the two just got into position.

The various ministries outside the city that had received the order attacked one after another, attacking the Japanese positions within the encirclement from all directions.

Through the binoculars, Xu Qingfeng, Xu Yuanquan and others could clearly see that thousands of national army officers and soldiers jumped out of the trenches that blocked the positions everywhere.

Carrying various weapons and shouting in unison, they rushed towards the Japanese position.

All of a sudden, the entire southern part of Hefei city shouted and killed.

However, as soon as the soldiers reached half the distance, the roar of light and heavy machine guns, as well as mortars and grenades rang out from the Japanese positions in the encirclement.

Countless dense bullets, accompanied by a small number of artillery shells, roared towards the crowds of troops attacking troops from various countries, pouring in.

Many brave soldiers of the national army were shot and fell down one after another, unable to dodge in time.

Some people were hit by grenades, and even people with guns were blown far away.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuanquan and several accompanying adjutants and staff officers all frowned and their expressions became tense.

Xu Qingfeng immediately turned his head and told a guard who was following behind him: "Notify the artillery unit immediately, and immediately launch an indiscriminate fire coverage attack on the Japanese artillery positions. Don't be stingy with shells, give me a hard blow to the mother!"

"Yes!" The guard soldier promised loudly, and after saluting, he quickly turned around and ran down.

Not long after, the artillerymen who received Xu Qingfeng's order quickly aimed the six captured Type [-] infantry cannons at the Japanese positions in the encirclement and began a fierce bombardment.

Since the establishment of the system on the Eastern Front wiped out the Japanese army, thousands of shells from the devils also fell into the hands of the Huben Regiment.

In addition, a lot of Japanese ammunition of various types have been seized before, so the Huben regiment's current ammunition can be said to be very sufficient.

Even the Japanese Matsumoto Regiment of the same size is no different.

On the unnamed slope, the temporary command post of the Sakamoto detachment.

Facing the large-scale charge and attack of the national army, Major General Akira Sakamoto and his officers remained calm.

Because the circular fortifications of one's own side have been built, and the connections between the trenches have all been opened up.

Coupled with the strength of nearly 2000 people, it is definitely not a problem to stick to it.

In particular, they knew that the national army besieging them was mainly light infantry, and there were no organized artillery and other heavy firepower units.

Therefore, when the artillery fire from the Tiger Regiment came over, Sakamoto Akira and others, who were proudly watching their own light and heavy machine guns and artillery firepower, wantonly harvesting the lives of the charging national soldiers, were all stunned.

"Baga!" While dodging the artillery fire, Akira Sakamoto couldn't help cursing again and again: "Damn the Chinese army, how come there are artillery units?
Could it be that their reinforcements have arrived? "

An adjutant also said in panic: "General, judging from the sound of the artillery, the Chinese artillery seems to be using the Imperial Army's Type [-] infantry artillery!"

"Bagaya Road!" Hearing this, Akira Sakamoto became even more annoyed.

However, no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do about the artillery of the Huben Regiment.

Because their artillery brigade had long been killed by the previous sneak attack of the Huben regiment.

Now there are only a small number of mortars and grenades in his troops, which can be used as battalion-level support firepower.

It's okay to use it to assist the infantry in defense, but trying to kill the artillery positions of the Huben regiment with this is tantamount to nonsense.

So, under the fierce bombardment of six [-]-type mortars regardless of cost.

The Japanese positions on the mound were soon bombarded with flames and thick smoke.

Many Japanese machine gun positions whose positions had been exposed in advance suffered devastating blows and suffered heavy casualties.

Without the suppression of light and heavy machine gun firepower, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to withstand the charge of the national army several times its own with infantry alone.

On the national army's side, seeing artillery support from their own side, everyone's morale was boosted, and they rushed forward screaming.

In desperation, Sakamoto Akira had no choice but to order his troops to take the initiative and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the national army's attacking troops.

It's just that, in this way, their only reliance is gone.

We can only use the lives of soldiers to stop the siege of the national army with outnumbered enemies.

In this case, the casualties of the Japanese army increased sharply.

Soon, a Japanese major who was commanding the battle ran back to the command post in panic and braved artillery fire, and reported to Akira Sakamoto: "General, the Chinese army's offensive is very fierce. If this continues, we may not be able to hold on for long.

We must request reinforcements and arrive as soon as possible! "

Akira Sakamoto snorted coldly, and immediately ordered a communication lieutenant behind him: "Immediately send a power call to the front army headquarters for help, and they said that the Chinese army is attacking rapidly, our troops suffered heavy casualties, and we are about to run out of ammunition and food.

Call for reinforcements, come fast, come fast! "

……

Changlinhe Town, the temporary command post of the Matsumoto United Regiment.

Matsumoto Masama was eating while looking at the battle map, thinking about the next battle plan.

A rush of footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw his communications warrant officer Ono Goro running over in a hurry.

"Report to the regiment leader, just received an emergency telegram from the front army headquarters, the Chinese army is in a hurry to besiege the Sakamoto detachment, and the entire line of the Sakamoto detachment is in a hurry.

Commander Shunroku Hata ordered us to rush north for reinforcements and rush to the south of Hefei City to join the Sakamoto detachment at all costs. "

Warrant Officer Ono Goro ignored the salute and reported to him.

"Nani?" Matsumoto Masama was startled when he heard the words, stood up quickly, snatched the telegram from his hand, and read it in a hurry.

He couldn't help but asked in great doubt: "It's strange, why did the Chinese army suddenly launch a siege again?

And the Sakamoto detachment is so fast, can't hold on? "

A Japanese adjutant next to him said: "Sir, could it be that the Chinese army saw that we were stagnant, so they gave up ambushing us, and instead mobilized their forces to besiege the Sakamoto detachment, wanting to take the opportunity to eat the Sakamoto detachment in one fell swoop.

Then turn around and deal with us? "

Masayama Matsumoto nodded solemnly and said, "It's not impossible, but there is another possibility."

"What?" the ghost adjutant asked.

"The Chinese army's siege of Sakamoto's detachment was fake. They deliberately used this to lure and force us to send troops to the north for reinforcements. It is true that they ambushed us halfway." Matsumoto Masama said.

"Ah?" The devil's adjutant was taken aback and said, "Then what should we do?"

"Even so, we must continue to go north for reinforcements."

Masayama Matsumoto said awe-inspiringly: "Because we have no choice, this is a conspiracy!"

"But, what if there is an ambush?" Another adjutant said with a worried expression.

Masayama Matsumoto shook his heart, and said in a stern voice: "Since the Chinese army has already besieged the Sakamoto detachment and called for emergency help, it means that they must have invested a lot of troops in the south of Hefei City.

In this case, how many troops can be used to ambush us? "

"We now have three thousand imperial warriors. As long as we don't divide our forces, it won't be easy for the Chinese army to eat us!"

After Matsumoto Masama finished speaking, he immediately ordered: "Pass my order, all the teams will immediately gather and set off, march north, and reinforce the Sakamoto detachment!"

"Hay!" The Japanese officers present all abruptly gave orders, and immediately turned around and left in unison.

……

At this time, Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan and others had already led the troops and set up an ambush at a place called Jiantou Mountain, ten kilometers away from Changlinhe Town.

The cavalry company, led by Wang Changgui and Xu Hu, was still cruising around Changlinhe Town, closely monitoring the movements of the Japanese army.

When it was discovered that the Devils were driving from Changlinhe Town and heading north along the highway.

Wang Changgui immediately asked Xu Hu to take some cavalry and rushed back to report to Zhou Weiguo and Liang Shan.

He himself led another part of the cavalry to continue to monitor the Japanese army.

Xu Hu and his men quickly rushed to the ambush position of the Huben Regiment and found Zhou Weiguo and Liang Shan who were waiting for news. He dismounted and saluted them and reported: "Deputy regiment leader, leader, the Japanese are out!"
