Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 160 Confident Ono!
The headquarters of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City, because it is not very far from the street, the sound of rumbling artillery can be faintly transmitted here.

In addition, it is the early morning in the dead of night, and there is no noise, so everyone can hear it more clearly.

The artillery staff officer first broke the silence of the headquarters and reported: "General, there are mortar shells and infantry artillery shells in the explosion that is ringing!"

"Your Excellency, with the intelligence confirmation from the intelligence department and the sound of artillery from the battlefield, we can already confirm that the Eighth Route Army attacking the Shangjie stronghold is undoubtedly the main force of the Independent Regiment. I suggest that the reinforcements go out immediately and encircle and attack Shangjie The independent regiment on the street!" The chief of staff judged with excitement.

"Did Aoki send a telegram?" Ono didn't answer directly, but asked back with a frown.

"Not yet!" replied the chief of staff.

"Then continue to wait. Aoki is the front-line commander. What he saw is more real than what we deduced. When did Aoki call? When will we send troops again!" Ono ordered with a serious face, a little in his words There is no tone of discussion.

"Hi!"

Waiting is the hardest part.

After another 5 minutes, a burst of footsteps finally reached everyone's ears.Then, the figure of the communications staff officer appeared in front of them.

"Report sir, there is an urgent call from the Changjie stronghold!"

"Read!" Ono ordered, staring at the communications staff officer with a serious face.

"Major Aoki reports that the Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold is determined to be the main force of the independent regiment. The opponent's firepower is strong and the attack is sharp. It has already caused nearly a hundred casualties to the defenders. The reinforcements can attack and encircle them!" Speak out.

"Yoxi, Chief of Staff, order the reinforcements to dispatch immediately, occupy the predetermined target, and encircle the main force of the Independent Regiment in Shangjie stronghold!" This time, Ono ordered decisively without the Chief of Staff's suggestion.

Then he continued to order the communication staff officer in front of him: "Call Aoki back. Before the reinforcements complete the encirclement, the troops must stick to their defense. After the encirclement, directly launch a counterattack against the current Eighth Route Army, pinch inside and outside, and destroy them!"

"Chief of Staff, order the garrison in the city to strengthen vigilance! The battle has already begun, and the resistance and snobbery in the city will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. The garrisons and patrols everywhere must wipe them out to ensure the stability of Laiyuan City!"

In a forest two miles outside the west gate of Laiyuan City, nearly 500 people from the two main battalions and the directly subordinate troops were hiding in it to rest and replenish dry food.

"Regimental Commander, the reconnaissance platoon telegraphed that a brigade of Japanese troops just left the city and drove towards the upper street!" Xu Guang, the communication platoon leader, reported excitedly as soon as he rushed over.

Wang Ping deduced this result a few hours ago, but many people did not believe it, including Xu Guang.

Now that the deduction has become a fact, it directly means that the entire battle situation has been under Wang Ping's calculation and control from the very beginning.

Everyone is a soldier, and some of the most basic military common sense is clear.Whoever can predict the enemy first on the battlefield and who can control the initiative on the battlefield will win the war immediately.

Therefore, after Xu Guang finished speaking the content of the telegram, each of his subordinates looked at Wang Ping with admiration, and they were also full of confidence in the battle that was about to break out.This confidence, without a doubt, all came from Wang Ping's anticipation.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle. We will dispatch in 10 minutes, as close to the west gate as possible. After half an hour, we will launch an attack, break through the city gate in one fell swoop, enter Laiyuan City, and give the devils a big surprise!" Wang Ping didn't tell everyone. Thinking about the time, Xu Guang started to give orders as soon as he finished speaking!

"First Battalion, after the troops entered Laiyuan City, set off immediately, occupy Zhangzhuang, block the devils from reinforcing the troops, until they receive my retreat order!"

"Artillery company, try to move two infantry guns to within 200 meters outside the city, blast open the city gate with two rounds of shooting, and then quickly move the artillery position, waiting for new orders. The devils stationed an artillery brigade in the city, and it is too long to stay in one place. May be targeted by them!"

At this time, Chen Hu, who entered the city ahead of schedule, also received Wang Ping's order to cooperate.

Except for one platoon of the guard company and one squad of the reconnaissance platoon, they are still lurking in the west gate, waiting to attack the defenders of the west gate from behind.

Others had been scattered to every corner of Laiyuan City as early as daytime with the help of the underground party in the city.

"Bang bang bang..." Several piercing gunshots sounded in the peaceful Laiyuan City, and a devil patrol immediately fell down two soldiers.

"Beep beep!" Immediately, the patrol team blew the alarm whistle, and then rushed towards the direction where the gunshot sounded just now with a rifle in hand.

"Quick, the enemy is right in front, rush over and destroy them!" The leader of the devil's team waved his command knife and ordered loudly.

"Bang bang bang..." Suddenly, several gunshots sounded behind them again.

"Ah... Baga..." The two soldiers were shot in the back and fell directly on the charge road.

"Bageyalu, there are enemies behind us, rush back!" The team leader was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized it!

"Papa papa!" Dozens of devils fired immediately, rifles, machine guns, all fired at the place where the gun was fired just now.The whizzing bullets hit the stone wall, and the sparks flew in all directions, which was very scary.

But after they rushed over with great difficulty, except for a corpse in ordinary people's clothes in the corner, not a single living Eighth Route Army was seen.

"The cunning Eighth Route Army, let them escape again! The troops stepped up their vigilance and continued to patrol!" Four imperial soldiers lost their lives to an Eighth Route Army. The grievance and anger in the squad leader's heart can be imagined, and he was very dissatisfied with the order.

At the same time, there were messy gunshots from every direction in Laiyuan City.

"Your Excellency, there are indeed many hostile snobs in the city to cooperate with the independent regiment's actions outside the city. Various patrols are clearing out these enemies, and many enemies have been eliminated so far!" The chief of staff hurriedly walked to Ono's side and reported.

"Yoxi! If the troops are not enough, you can order the garrison of the material warehouse to assist in the encirclement and suppression. They must be eliminated!" Ono ordered with satisfaction.

Because, from the beginning to the present, this battle has been developed according to his thinking.

As long as the development continues like this, Ono is confident that he will definitely win in the end.

The small garrison on the city wall also turned their eyes and attention to the city, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that it was not the time for him to patrol the city tonight.

Under the cover of night, more than 600 soldiers from the Second Battalion moved towards Ximen step by step.

The company commander, Yang Xiong, is very familiar with Laiyuan City because he served in the Imperial Association Army in Laiyuan City.

Therefore, in this raid, he led the company to the forefront.

More than 100 people carried rifles, crooked handles, and grenades, and with the help of terrain cover, they touched a dark ditch 50 meters outside Laiyuan City all the way without attracting the attention of the defenders at the top of the city.
