Chapter 1131 The arrow has to be shot on the string
Just after dawn, three planes with plaster flags appeared in the sky over Caoziling, flying close to the ground to escort the Japanese and puppet troops who were digging fortifications on the ground.
The Japanese troops, who were still cautious at night, suddenly felt confident. They divided into five groups and went to nearby villages to capture strong men and help them build fortifications.
Dozens of cars also drove out of Datong City, loaded with cement and steel bars, heading towards Caoziling...
The Jinsui Army stationed around Datong also began to take action.
Troops marched day and night, approaching Datong City.
The heavy artillery regiment, which they had high hopes for, also began to move towards Datong...
In Datong City, the Japanese and puppet troops were also working intensively to strengthen the fortifications, building Datong City into a copper wall and an iron wall, waiting for the Jinsui Army to come and smash their heads and cause bloodshed.
The garrison regiment was in front of the enemy headquarters. These messages were sent to them like snowflakes through the commandos and intelligence departments.
"Commander, the Jinsui Army is ready to attack, and the Japanese and puppet troops are ready. The upcoming siege will definitely be very brutal. How should our garrison fight?" Hong Linfeng asked with eyes shining.
In his mind, if such a large-scale battle was placed in front of the garrison, with the leader's character, he would definitely rush in and take advantage, instead of standing by and watching, letting others eat his fat.
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "Then it depends on the outcome of this war."
"The results are different and our playing style is also different."
"If the Japanese win in the end, what we have to do is to reduce the losses of the Jinsui Army as much as possible in the battle, provide them with some necessary reinforcements, and make a little fortune by the way."
"If the Jinsui Army wins this battle, what we have to do is to take the victory from the mouths of the Jinsui Army."
"Without arousing their concerns, get more treasures back."
Hong Linfeng immediately said: "Commander, what do you mean is that we should wait for the outcome of the battle before taking action?"
Li Hao shook his head and said in denial: "No, we need to take action now."
"As for the result, we need to judge it ourselves."
"If we wait until the fighting is over before taking action, all the good things will be taken away by the Japanese and Jinsui troops, and what advantage will we have?"
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, what we have to do now is to judge who has a greater chance of winning this battle."
"Then we will make arrangements in advance based on our judgment."
Wang Hong thought for a moment and replied: "I think the Jinsui Army has a better chance of winning!"
"They suffered a loss in front of Datong City. This is a second attack on Datong. They will definitely learn their lesson. They also have heavy artillery support. If they are not sure of victory, they will definitely not launch an attack rashly and waste their troops and morale."
Hong Linfeng agreed: "I also think that the Jinsui Army has a better chance of winning."
"Compared with the Japanese and puppet troops in Datong City, the Shanxi-Sui Army has three times the strength advantage and is also supported by heavy artillery."
"One more thing: most of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city are puppet troops, the former Jinsui Army."
"There must be people from the Jinsui Army inside."
"If they counterattack during the battle and cooperate with the attacking troops to fight the Japanese, the Jinsui Army will have a greater strength advantage and a greater chance of winning."
Li Hao looked at the clearly marked distribution of enemy and enemy forces on the map and replied with a serious face: "No, my opinion is exactly the opposite of yours."
"In this attack, the Jinsui Army will indeed learn from the experience and lessons of the failed siege last time, and they will also bring heavy artillery."
"It seems that the Jinsui Army has a good chance of winning."
"But don't forget, Japanese people are not vegetarian either."
"While the Jinsui Army learned from experience and education and continuously increased its siege experience, the Japanese and puppet troops in Datong City were not idle either."
"According to intelligence: the Japanese and puppet troops have built a large number of permanent reinforced concrete fortifications in Datong City in the past few months, and have intensified their control and training of the puppet troops."
"We have all seen those steel and concrete, and they are in Hunyuan City. Heavy artillery has a very limited effect on them, unless the Jinsui Army has endless heavy artillery shells..."
"As for the strength advantage of the Jinsui Army, before destroying these permanent reinforced concrete fortifications, it will be useless no matter how many troops rush forward, it will be the same as facing death."
"And judging from the telegram sent back by the commando team."
"The Japanese and puppet troops in Datong City already know about the upcoming attack by the Jinsui Army."
"On the surface, there seems to be no movement in Datong City, but secretly, efforts are being made to strengthen defenses."
Wang Hong's face became more and more serious. The commander's analysis was so reasonable that he had to believe it. He immediately asked: "Commander, if the siege fails, the Jinsui Army near Datong will definitely be strong in the siege."
hurt."
"We are friendly forces now. Their losses are too great and they are very detrimental to us."
"I suggest you immediately report your analysis just now and ask your superiors to tell the Jinsui Army so that they can prepare in advance."
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "It's useless."
"This attack on the Jinsui Army has been planned for a long time, and it cannot be stopped just now."
"And the intelligence capabilities of the Jinsui Army are definitely stronger than ours. They can definitely find out the information we can find."
"Then why continue to attack?" Wang Hong asked.
Li Hao explained: "They are too fond of those heavy artillery, thinking that having heavy artillery can solve all problems."
"And this battle is too important for the Jinsui Army. It can not only take revenge, but also improve morale. Everyone is watching, and the arrow is on the string and has to be fired."
Hong Linfeng asked: "Captain, what should we do?"
"It's impossible to just watch the Jinsui Army lose the battle under our noses and remain indifferent! They are our friendly forces, and they help us share a large part of the military pressure of the Japanese and puppet forces in Datong."
"If we lose, it will be very detrimental to us."
Li Hao replied seriously: "We can't change the overall situation."
"The defense team is too weak."
"There are only two thousand of us, thrown into a big battle with tens of thousands of people, and we can't even make a splash."
Seeing the fleeting expressions of disappointment on the faces of Hong Linfeng and Wang Hong, Li Hao continued: "But we can change a local battle in the war."
"Defeat the Japanese and puppet troops in local battles and reduce the losses of the Jinsui Army."
After saying that, Li Hao turned his attention to He Jun, the commander of the Hunyuan Independent Battalion, and continued: "Battle Commander He, haven't you been complaining that the other independent battalions have big battles every day, and you have nothing to do?
?”
"This time I have prepared a feast for you, but I don't know if your independent camp can swallow it."
He Jun's eyes flashed and he shouted, "I'll definitely be able to eat it."
"Captain, what's the mission?"
"We at the Hunyuan Independent Battalion have been looking forward to this day for a long time. As long as we can fight the Japanese, we can accomplish any mission."
"Commander, please give the order. Hunyuan Independent Battalion promises not to disappoint the regiment!"
