Suddenly, intensive gunshots were heard from other directions in the town, mixed with many explosions.
Under the cover of night, Yan Song, holding a telescope, could clearly see the fire caused by the explosion.
"It's a mortar. Why are mortars used in the south of the town? What happened? I haven't given the attack order yet, why are they starting to fight!" Yan Song's face was very solemn, and he frowned and asked anxiously.
.
The situation in front of him gave him a feeling of losing control. As a direct commander on the battlefield, it was impossible to say that he was not in a hurry.
Fortunately, someone rushed over at this time. When he saw Yan Song, he reported: "Battalion Commander, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops rushed out from the other three directions of the town. Our troops were caught off guard and started fighting with the Japs!"
"Retreat, order the troops to retreat immediately, and attack the Japs without even understanding their purpose. If the Japs attack and the troops make dumplings, the losses will be great~ Let's look at the situation first. We must understand the sudden attack by the Japs.
the goal of!"
The sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield soon stopped, but to Yan Song's surprise, there was still a steady stream of little devils pouring out of the town, and there were also a large number of mules and horses loaded with food and ammunition supplies in the middle. It was a complete diversion.
posture!
"Could it be that the little Japs are planning to march at night and leave here?" A very bold idea suddenly came to Yan Song's mind.
But as soon as the words were spoken, the instructor next to him objected: "Impossible. What the little devil is best at is frontal combat. Field combat is what our Eighth Route Army is good at. Marching at night is not about giving up our advantages and using our disadvantages against our advantages.
?"
"Unless the commander of the Little Japanese Division is stupid, it is absolutely impossible for him to actively choose to fight us at night, even if it is a march!"
Yan Song believed in his judgment very much, frowned and asked: "Then how do you explain what is happening in front of you!"
"If my calculations are correct, there are already more than a thousand little Japs rushing out of the town in front of me, and they are still rushing out. Even the mules and horses transporting food and ammunition supplies are rushing out together. Plus the other three
There must be four to five thousand Japs rushing out from this direction!"
The instructor frowned, not knowing how to refute.
After ten minutes of waiting, no more Japanese soldiers came out of the town entrance.
"Battal Commander, the Japs who rushed out from the west entrance of the town have come around here. There are more than 2,000 people!"
"Battal Commander, the Japs who rushed out from the east entrance of the town have also come around here!"
"Battal Commander, the Japs rushing out from our side seem to be trying to escape and march directly to the north along the highway!"
"Map, give me the map right away~ I'm sure that the kid is taking advantage of the cover of night to move! We must find out the next target of the kid's urgent march immediately!" Yan Song's frown deepened at this time, and he immediately ordered
road.
"Spread the map immediately!" Although the instructor was unwilling to admit it, the facts proved that the battalion commander's judgment was correct and he ordered immediately.
Then he did not forget to remind: "Battal Commander, the people over there have not been evacuated yet. They were originally planning to evacuate tonight, but now they have come to us and caught us off guard. We must find out their target immediately and contact them."
Regiment Headquarters, slow down the Japs’ attack at all costs and evacuate the people!”
"Now the common people will do anything to retaliate against us. If any common people fall into the hands of the Japs, and they are common people in the base area, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Yan Song used his flashlight to search bit by bit on the map, and a town soon appeared in his field of vision!
"There is a town thirty-five kilometers away from here. There are thousands of people. The Japanese marched quickly to kill them. They can get there in six or seven hours!"
"It's not too late now. Order the troops to catch up with the Japs immediately and use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to slow down their attack speed!"
"Also, immediately send a telegram to the regiment headquarters to report the situation here, and ask the regiment headquarters to immediately organize troops to evacuate the people there, and send troops to stop the little Japs along the way!"
The Japanese who were marching in a hurry were almost five kilometers away from the town. The chief of staff, who was also riding a horse, asked with a puzzled face: "Division commander, aren't we going to Tianyuan Town? This direction is not to Tianyuan Town!"
"I know!" A mysterious smile flashed across the division commander's face.
"Now the Eighth Route Army must have thought that we were going to Dongxing Town. On the way to Dongxing Town, I know a small road that can go directly to Tianyuan Town, which is less than 20 kilometers away!"
"The Eighth Route Army is definitely trying to prevent us from going to Dongxing Town at all costs and is evacuating the people in Dongxing Town. At that time, the main force will continue to assume the posture of going to Dongxing Town and march forward in a hurry. It will separate into two infantry brigades and take the small road.
Kill directly towards Tianyuan Town and catch the Eighth Route Army by surprise!"
"Also, the Eighth Route Army that gathered in the town just now must be chasing us with all their strength! In order to slow down our march, they will definitely try their best to catch up with us, and then use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to slow down our march."
"When they catch up all the way, they will be very tired and their vigilance will be very low. You take out an infantry brigade and use the infantry squad as a unit to disperse around the main force under the cover of night!"
"Remember, these scattered troops must not use torches, and they must pay attention to concealment. When the Japanese catch up and attack us, they will attack directly from the back of the Eighth Route Army. Kill those sneak attack troops for me!"
"The troops heading toward Tianyuan Town should also deploy at least half of the brigade to disperse near the main force to attack the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops!"
"It has always been said that the Eighth Route Army is good at night fighting. In my opinion, the Imperial Army is not bad either!"
"The Imperial Army's training is better than that of the Eighth Route Army. It is more vigilant and physically stronger. The reason why the Imperial Army loses more and wins less when fighting at night is because the Eighth Route Army has prepared before, and the Imperial Army likes to light torches during night battles to give the Eighth Route Army
Be a living target."
"Now, the Eighth Route Army is unprepared and doesn't even know our marching direction."
"Under the same conditions, I am sure that the Imperial Army's night fighting capabilities are no worse than those of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Last and most important, raiding the town, capturing the people, and grabbing food are all secondary. The fundamental purpose of this attack is to kill the new regiment. The reason for such an attack is to cause chaos in the Eighth Route Army.
.Once they are in chaos, we can use the above method to kill their sneak attack troops under the cover of night!"
"I won't say any more. Tonight, with so many of our troops, at least I can kill the main force of one battalion of the New Regiment!"
The chief of staff replied thoughtfully: "I'll make arrangements right away!"
"If we can really win tonight, then our attack this time has at least an 80% chance of winning!"
At the new regiment headquarters, Yan Song's telegram shocked Wang Ping and even alarmed political commissar Huang Yuanqiang who was already resting!
"Captain, I will immediately contact the defense company and party organization in Dongxing Town and ask them to evacuate the people there at all costs!"
Wang Ping replied with a sullen face: "The enemy's move was too cruel. They went in the opposite direction and used field warfare that we are good at but they are not good at to attack us. It was so unexpected!"
"Even if you issue the order now and wait for the order to arrive in Dongxing Town, it will still take an hour. Evacuation at night is more difficult than during the day. There are thousands of people in the whole town, and it is impossible to evacuate them all in less than four or five hours."
"It will take another two hours to safely evacuate the people from the town to the mountains, but the time the devils left us is too short, not enough at all!"
"Political Commissar, go and give the evacuation order. Chief of Staff, deploy the nearest troops and reinforce Dongxing Town at all costs. Cooperate with Yan Song and be sure to delay the Japanese attack on Dongxing Town until three o'clock in the morning!"
"I'm going to mobilize troops now!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
After all the orders were issued, Wang Ping's tense nerves did not relax. His face was as solemn as ever, and he stared at the map and fell into deep thought.
The Japanese's surprise tonight made him vaguely feel that this time's counter-mopping up was more difficult than before!
