The chief of staff in the war room knew what Ono's conspiracy was. His eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "General, are the main forces ready to be dispatched?"
"Order them to leave the city immediately, but not to go too fast, and to keep a distance of two kilometers from the enemy troops!" Xiao Yema made a decision immediately!
At the gate of the city, more than 600 puppet troops had been waiting in full formation, ready for battle.
The Imperial Association Army, which was also a company, walked at the front, followed closely by the Japanese army. But compared to the Japanese army in front of them that lured the enemy, although this Japanese army only had more than 300 people, their equipment was more sophisticated.
A squadron of infantry is equipped with almost twice as many crooks and grenades.
There is also a squad with three heavy machine guns, a squad with three mortars, and a squad with two infantry guns.
After the Japanese army, exuding a strong murderous aura, completely walked out of the city gate, two companies of the Imperial Army followed closely behind, carrying rifles on their backs and crooked handles, and walked out of the city gate in a mighty manner.
At the surveillance post of the reconnaissance platoon outside the city, as soon as the Japanese and puppet troops left the city, squad leader Wei Qiang couldn't help but curse: "You damn little devil, you really have a dirty trick, you actually hid so many troops and followed you. If it hadn't been for the regiment commander, he would have
That’s when I thought, we will definitely be tricked!”
"Signal soldier, go to the rank and file immediately and find the regiment commander to report what we just saw. I will take Xiao Wang to meet with the Japanese and puppet troops for a while. By the way, I will tell the platoon leader with the agreed gunfire that there will be more than 600 days coming here.
puppet army!"
At the Japanese Army Headquarters in Laiyuan City, it was only then that the staff of the headquarters understood what Ono's conspiracy was, and then a large number of compliments rang out in the headquarters.
However, this beautiful atmosphere did not last long before it was broken by a telegram.
"General, the captain of the first brigade telegraphed that the troops were attacked by Tubal Road shortly after leaving the city, and two warriors were killed!"
Before Ono could speak, the faces of the staff at the headquarters became strange.
In their opinion, Ono sent a troop to follow behind the enemy troops, and it must have been intended to be used as an ambush.
But now the use of ambush has been discovered by the Eighth Route Army before it has been proposed. An ambush that has exposed its target will definitely no longer be able to be used as an ambush.
In this case, the most embarrassing thing for the headquarters must be the brigade commander and chief of staff who made the ambush plan. In order to prevent the two people from venting their anger on themselves, the staff wanted to laugh or talk, but they could only hold it back.
Then his face turned strange involuntarily.
But what they didn't understand was that the expressions of the two people did not change at all.
Especially Ono, unexpectedly ordered: "Order Matsushita-kun to continue moving forward according to the original plan!"
"Original plan!" These four words aroused everyone's curiosity again. Everyone stared at Ono and the chief of staff, hoping to get an explanation.
Ono raised the corner of his mouth, and then ordered to the chief of staff: "Explain to you why I am not in a hurry if the Eighth Route Army discovers the ambush troops I sent out!"
"Hi!" the chief of staff explained, pointing to the mark on the sand table representing an ambush.
"Everyone, the reason why the general is not worried about the ambush being discovered by the Eighth Route Army is because behind the ambush, the general has arranged a plan!"
"The ambush you see is not a mixed force as everyone imagined, but an elite force composed entirely of imperial troops, including three infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squad, a mortar squad, and a
The infantry artillery squad has strong combat effectiveness!"
"There is only one reason why the two squadrons of the Imperial Army were disguised as the Imperial Association Army. It was to make the Eighth Route Army despise our ambush troops and think that the follow-up troops we sent out could not pose a threat to them. In this case, the Eighth Route Army would still have a high chance of ambush.
We lure the enemy troops, and then send a small force to block our follow-up troops!"
"How could the six to seven hundred elite Imperial Army troops equipped with infantry artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns be blocked by a small group of Eighth Route Army troops? As long as they break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops, the main force of the Eighth Route Army that ambushed our enemy troops will be followed by us.
Surrounded by troops, attacked from both sides, and thus destroyed by us!"
"What if the Eighth Route Army doesn't have the guts to ambush our enemy troops?" A staff officer immediately raised his doubts.
"Then our troops can reach the stronghold smoothly. For us, the goal has been achieved. It is just a pity that we were not able to draw out and destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
Another staff officer asked: "If that's the case, why go to the trouble of letting the Imperial Army wear the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army? As soon as the three squadrons of the Imperial Army leave the city, the Eighth Route Army will not have the guts to ambush our enemy-baiting troops!"
"As long as there is an opportunity to lure out the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we cannot let it go. Compared with going into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, luring them out and destroying them, the price we need to pay will definitely be much smaller, you understand!" The chief of staff stared at the other party.
asked rhetorically.
"Hey, thank you, Chief of Staff, for your teachings. I understand my humble position!" the combat staff member blushed and replied quickly.
The chief of staff nodded and continued: "Also, some people must have asked if it is possible to prevent the Eighth Route Army from discovering our follow-up troops. In this way, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to withstand the temptation to ambush our decoy troops and fall into our prepared traps for them.
Trap!"
"However, everyone must understand that our opponent, the Eighth Route Army, is not only not a fool, but also very cunning."
"They have controlled the villages and towns outside the city for such a long time. It is impossible that they have not established their own intelligence network. Therefore, no matter how we hide the follow-up troops, it is impossible to escape the eyes of the Eighth Route Army. In this case, we can only serve as follow-up troops.
I thought of a way, and then Your Majesty the General thought of this trick and fell into the trap!"
After the three main regiments of the Independent Regiment entered Xiaguan Village, the originally small village was immediately overcrowded.
Wang Ping's headquarters, the Independent Regiment Headquarters, was located within less than one-third of the stronghold built by the Japanese army.
After receiving the first news sent back by Chen Hu, Wang Ping decided to eat the puppet troops for more than 600 days without saying a word.
Originally, Wang Ping only wanted to take two regiments there, but Ao couldn't stand the stubbornness of Chief of Staff Zeng Quan. In order to prevent an accident, he directly sent the three main regiments with them, which was the only way for the puppet army in the past!
During a normal march, it would take the Japanese and puppet troops five hours to get there. But with the reconnaissance platoon harassing and destroying official roads in advance, the five hours would be delayed to at least ten hours.
In the past, it took six hours for my troops to march quickly. Excluding the more than an hour spent by the communications troops on the road, I was left with less than two hours of preparation time.
Therefore, in order to seize the opportunity, Wang Ping did not dare to delay at all and ordered the troops to set off as soon as he received the news.
As for combat missions, they can be given to several battalion and company commanders on the march!
The troops had just been on their way for an hour when the communications troops sent back by Wei Qiang caught up with them.
"Captain, it's an emergency!"
"The Japanese are so cunning. Just two kilometers out of the city, more than 600 Japanese puppet troops came out of Laiyuan City. Another 600 Japanese puppet troops came out of Laiyuan City. They were not only equipped with two infantry cannons, but also equipped with at least twice as many crooked handles and grenades.
cylinder."
"Conspiracy!" Wang Ping and Zeng Quan felt it immediately, and then their faces became solemn.
