The chief of staff was happily reporting to Li Yunlong the first good news he had just received: "Brigadier..."
"After a regiment arrived on the battlefield, it strictly implemented the combat plan, showed weakness first, and then used only one reinforced battalion to launch a reactionary attack."
"The devil was fooled immediately."
"In order to eat up our attacking troops, they deliberately abandoned their positions and lured our attacking troops towards their lurking troops. They planned to use the lurking troops to catch us off guard and take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and eliminate the attacking troops."
"Unexpectedly, we hid a large number of light machine guns among the attacking troops."
"As soon as the Japanese lurking troops were exposed, they were frantically intercepted by dozens of light machine guns."
"The remaining two battalions took the opportunity to outflank..."
"It only took one hour to kill all the Japs' defensive troops and ambush troops in the camp. More than 1,200 Japs were eliminated, a whole reinforced brigade was eliminated, and a large amount of equipment and ammunition were also seized."
"We had less than five hundred casualties..."
"If we continue to fight at this casualty ratio, we will be able to completely capture the Japanese army's third blockade tonight and wipe out all the little Japanese here."
Speaking of this, the chief of staff immediately picked up a statistical table he had just calculated and said.
"One Japanese army station has two squadrons of garrison troops and two squadrons of lurking troops."
"The third blockade line has a total of nine stations, which means that Gangcun Ning has deployed nine reinforcement brigades and tens of thousands of troops on this line."
"If the Japanese army gathers these troops together, no matter how powerful our independent brigade is, we will not be able to crack this hard nut."
"It turned out that these little devils divided their troops into nine stations and planned to catch them all in one fell swoop for us."
"We didn't try to steal the chicken but lost the rice. Instead, it created a good opportunity for us to defeat them one by one."
"I just did the math..."
"Kill the little Japs stationed on the third blockade."
"The total number of Japanese troops deployed by Neji Okamura on the front line is just over 20,000, and the total strength is only a little more than ours."
"If a large number of artillery and tank troops are not strengthened, and the two sides really have to fight a decisive battle, it is still unknown who will win and lose."
"After all, this is our base, and the terrain advantage is in our hands."
"If you try to find a way to kill thousands of little devils in the next operation."
"The military advantage in Neji Okamura's hands is gone."
"The infantry strength is insufficient. No matter how many artillery pieces the Japs have on the front line, and no matter how large the caliber of the artillery pieces, they are no match for us."
"As long as our actions tonight go smoothly and Neji Okamura has no other backup, our Sixth Army Division can basically be said to be a sure winner."
Li Yunlong's face was already filled with joy.
After carefully considering the analysis of the chief of staff, the smile on his face became stronger and he gave the order on the spot.
"Then our independent brigade will fight tonight's battle well."
"Call back to the regiment immediately: leave the lightly and seriously wounded to clean up the battlefield, and then arrange a company of troops to protect them."
"Other troops immediately rushed to the next Japanese station."
"Remember to bring all the heavy weapons captured by the Japs on the battlefield."
"Don't skimp on ammunition when the battle begins."
"Japanese who can be killed with artillery shells will definitely not use bullets."
"Whoever can eliminate more little devils with minimal casualties, I will personally give him credit."
"If the troops achieve great results and wipe out a large number of enemies, but the casualties are also very high, I will not only receive no reward, but also punish the leading cadres."
…………
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the second regiment, which was making the slowest progress, also sent good news.
But before everyone was happy for ten minutes, a battle report from the First Regiment made Li Yunlong stunned on the spot.
"Report to the brigade commander, chief of staff...an urgent message..." the operator frowned and reported solemnly.
"When they rushed to the next Japanese station, all the Japanese soldiers stationed there had withdrawn from the blockade. The whole station was empty, and not a single Japanese soldier was seen."
"The Japanese army escaped early?" Li Yunlong's first reaction after coming out of his confusion was disbelief.
Not only Okamura Neiji felt that he could not give up the third blockade.
Li Yunlong also believed that if the Japanese army wanted to use iron walls to encircle and continue to sweep the base area, they must stick to the third blockade line and ensure that there are always three blockade lines on the front line surrounding the base area, so that the base area can be completely isolated from the outside world.
Unexpectedly, Okamura Neji actually went in the opposite direction and voluntarily gave up the third blockade...
Could it be that this old boy doesn't plan to surround the base with iron walls and continue to raid the base area?
Li Yunlong couldn't understand.
The operator replied firmly: "That's what the telegram said."
"One regiment has successfully occupied the camp that the Japanese army abandoned voluntarily. The reconnaissance team searched the surrounding area and found no Japs. It is confirmed that they really abandoned the camp and escaped."
"What the hell is Neji Okamura doing again..." The Japanese army voluntarily abandoned their position, and the independent brigade easily captured the Japanese army's third blockade. This should have been a very happy thing, but Li Yunlong couldn't laugh at all.
come out.
Okamura Neji is not the kind of person who ignores the overall situation because of impulsiveness.
Arranging an ambush at the blockade in advance showed that he not only wanted to severely damage the independent brigade, but also wanted to defend the third blockade.
Leng Buding withdrew all the troops stationed on the third blockade line. He must have a conspiracy and purpose that he didn't know about.
"brigadier……"
A few minutes later the operator ran to Li Yunlong again to report.
"Three regiments urgently called...the second station they wanted to attack was also deserted, and not a single Japs was seen."
The chief of staff took the telegram and quickly glanced at it and made a judgment: "The telegram said that the Japanese army station still left a lot of baggage materials that could not be taken away."
"It means that the little devils retreated in a hurry. They didn't want to attract our attention and evacuated the blockade secretly. Otherwise, they would definitely have taken care of the heavy supplies before retreating, leaving us with nothing."
"brigadier……"
"What kind of dirty trick is Okamura Neji playing? I can't tell at all."
"There is a whole blockade. If you give up, just give up."
"Although it can save a lot of troops from dying."
"But without the third blockade, there are only two blockades left between us and the remaining troops in the base area. We can fully cooperate with each other to attack the little Japanese on the remaining two blockades."
"Their losses will be greater then."
"If I were Neji Okamura, I would defend the third blockade even if I risk my life."
"In the end, this old devil just gave up. I don't understand."
Li Yunlong frowned and replied: "Not only can you not understand, I also cannot see the true purpose of Okamura Neji doing this."
"Ignore it for now."
"Since this old devil has voluntarily given up the third line of defense, let's take the next step."
"Let the offensive troops seize the opportunity to occupy the entire blockade line and completely destroy the blockade walls and blockade ditches under their feet before dawn."
"By the way, I informed Kong Jie and Xiao Huang about this accident and asked them to keep a close eye on it. They are like little devils on the front line."
"Perhaps this old devil sees that we are not fooled and wants to keep troops in the base area."
