Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 158
"Even if there are only [-] defenders at each city gate, it is impossible for us to break through the city gates and enter Laiyuan City in a short time!" Political commissar Cheng Xiao still has no intention of letting go!
Zeng Quan had always been obedient to Wang Ping before, but this time he also shook his head and agreed: "Commander, I don't agree either, it's too risky to fight like this, it's not worth it!"

Both Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan cared about themselves.

Therefore, until there is no definite evidence to convince them, Wang Ping can only frown and wait.

"Commander, the telegram from the investigation platoon was sent from Laiyuan City. It's unbelievable that they actually entered Laiyuan City!" Xu Guang, the communication platoon leader, said in shock as soon as he rushed over.

Wang Ping grabbed the telegram and began to browse. Soon, his frowning brows relaxed, and he said with the same expression of excitement.

"Masano, Chief of Staff, our chance has come!"

"This is the latest enemy report from Laiyuan City: in Laiyuan City of Nuoda, there is only one battalion of the Imperial Association Army for defense at each gate! If there are devils, I am still a little worried. Now it is replaced by the Imperial Association Army, and there are still a few battalions. The reconnaissance platoon and the guard company cooperate in Laiyuan City, I promise, one charge can kill Laiyuan City!"

Cheng Xiao's heart was also moved at this time, and after receiving the telegram and reading it twice, he asked: "Commander, how do you plan to fight!"

"I plan to launch an attack from the west gate of Laiyuan City. At night, there will be at most one company of the Imperial Association Army defending the gate! The troops moved as stealthily as possible to the gate. Two infantry cannons quickly opened the gate. Six gates forced Shooting artillery, five rounds of volleys to kill the imperial association army on the city wall. As long as the defenders on the city wall are in chaos, the troops will start to attack and enter Laiyuan City as quickly as possible!"

"After the battle started, last night I entered the guard company and the reconnaissance platoon in the county seat, and directly launched an attack on the Imperial Association Army garrison at the corner of the city wall, holding them back for 5 minutes and preventing them from reinforcing the city wall!"

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan's eyes lit up and replied: "In this case, we are [-]% sure to enter Laiyuan City!"

Cheng Xiao did not agree to this plan so easily, staring at Wang Ping and continued to ask: "What about after entering Laiyuan City?"

"The Second Battalion entered Laiyuan City, wiped out a large number of Japanese and puppet troops in the city, and then took down the material warehouses arranged by the Japanese troops in the west of the city, defended on the spot, blocked the Japanese and puppet troops' counterattacks, and cooperated with the supply company to empty this warehouse for me! "

"Next is the first battalion. As long as the second battalion enters Laiyuan City, they will rush to Zhangzhuang with two mortars from the artillery company, and build a blocking position here!"

"The main force of the Japanese army is at the Shangjie stronghold. If the devils know that our real attack intention is the county seat, and they will enter Laiyuan City in one attack, then they will definitely send the main force from the Shangjie stronghold to reinforce Ximen and block our retreat! "

"The task of the first battalion is to hold here for two hours no matter when the devils come over, and then quickly leave the battle to act as the guard of the whole regiment, covering the main force and withdrawing to the station!"

"Next, let's talk about the third battalion and the two new battalions you led, Lao Zeng."

"It's certain that the devils will send heavy troops from the streets to help the county. As for how many people they call in, there will be enough fighters for you to grasp, and there is a lot to do."

"There are fewer troops to be deployed. You can definitely draw out a main force company and a recruit company to cooperate with the first battalion, attack front and back, and eat the devil's reinforcements. Even if you can't eat them, you must find a way to severely injure him!"

"There are more troops drawn, let's see if there is a chance to directly take down the upper street stronghold!"

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the Japanese army will not send troops to reinforce the county. After all, there are more than 2000 devils in the city. If this is the case, the Japanese army will definitely find a way to eat you and take revenge. At that time, you will have to choose a time to retreat, and you will be surrounded by devils." dumpling!"

The greater the pressure, the greater the challenge and the greater the achievements.Although Zeng Quan is the chief of staff of the regiment, only he knows that this is completely in the light of Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao. Whether it is qualifications or military achievements, he is still far behind the boss.

Qualifications take time to sharpen, and Zeng Quan can't control them.

But military merit can be controlled by himself, so Zeng Quan must seize every opportunity to obtain military merit, gain military merit, and make himself more confident in the position of chief of staff of the regiment.

"Leader, please don't worry and make sure to complete the task!"

Wang Ping also meant to train Zeng Quan. After all, he followed his first batch of veterans, so he gave him such a good opportunity.

After nodding, he ordered: "I brought the remaining two radio stations of the communication platoon, and I will give you one. If there is any situation, send me a telegram immediately!"

"Thank you, Commander, I'm sure I can fight this battle well!" Zeng Quan replied excitedly.

In the next two hours, the first battalion and the second battalion of the independent regiment, the guard company, the artillery company, and the supply company under the leadership of Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao, were separated from the third battalion without knowing it. , and began to rush towards the west gate of Laiyuan City.

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan led the three battalions, the artillery company and two recruit battalions, and continued along the old road towards the Shangjie stronghold.

The spies of the Japanese and puppet troops hidden in the third battalion saw that the total strength of the troops had not changed, and the infantry artillery carried by the troops was also there. They continued to send information to the county town and told Ono in Laiyuan City that the attack target of the independent regiment had not changed. March up the street.

At the Japanese Army Headquarters in Laiyuan City, when Kazuki Yamamoto came to the Ono War Room again, his expression was very relaxed.

"Your Excellency, the latest information shows that the marching route of the main force of the Independence Regiment has not changed. More than 2000 Eighth Route Army troops are carrying infantry artillery and continue marching up the street!"

"Yoxi, general, it seems that we will wipe out the independent regiment's stronghold in Shangjie this time, and there will be no accidents!" The chief of staff complimented with a smile on his face!

Perhaps Ono could only come across such a good opportunity to wipe out the Independence Regiment once in a lifetime.

Therefore, Ono must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Chief of Staff, any accident may happen on the battlefield, so don't be too happy! Are the reinforcements out of the city ready?"

"Hey, an infantry battalion of imperial troops has already stationed at the east gate, as soon as the independent regiment starts to attack our stronghold, they will attack immediately!" the chief of staff affirmed.

"Yoxi, now we are waiting for the independent regiment to take the bait. By the way, the defense of Laiyuan City has been done well. I heard gunshots in the city two hours ago. No accident, tonight, there must be people in the city. The enemy cooperates with the independent regiment to attack us!"

"Hi!" the chief of staff replied immediately.

"The brigade headquarters is guarding an infantry brigade, two squadrons are responsible for guarding the ammunition depot in the center of the city, two squadrons are patrolling and guarding the city in small units, and one squadron is protecting the artillery brigade."

"The Royal Association Army divided four battalions to protect our small ammunition depots and supply warehouses scattered in the four city gates. The four battalions defended the four city gates respectively. One battalion was mobile. The mountain artillery company and the regiments were directly under the mortar company. Points, help defend the four city gates!"

"As long as the rebel snobbery hidden in the city dares to come out, the imperial army patrolling the city will definitely destroy them as soon as possible to ensure the stability of Laiyuan City!"
