The Laiyuan Independent Battalion Headquarters has now become the former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment.
He Wenlin, the director of the security department, rushed in with a smile on his face as if he had eaten honey: "Regiment leader, political commissar, and chief of staff, we achieved a great victory in the morning's operation."
"A total of five spies were captured from the two main battalions, and there were 28 spies cooperating with their actions. Some were responsible for passing on information, some were responsible for protecting them, and some were responsible for contacting them. All of them were caught in one go."
"From now on, the Japanese will not be able to obtain any information from our troops."
"Good job!" Li Hao replied with satisfaction.
"This time we were able to annihilate more than 5,000 puppet troops who invaded the base area, and your security department was the first to do so."
"Without the false information you passed to the Japanese, the entire operation would certainly not have developed as planned, and it would not have been so easy for us to annihilate them all."
"But the Security Department cannot take credit for it. You must seize this opportunity to further dig out the Japanese spies lurking in our base area and inflict heavy damage on them as much as possible."
"We must take this incident as a lesson and strictly inspect every recruit who enters the army from now on."
"The troops are the foundation for our foothold in enemy-occupied areas. The safety of hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers and civilians in the base areas is involved. There must be no more problems."
The smile on He Wenlin's face disappeared, and he was very embarrassed.
The main force infiltrated the Japanese spies, and there were five of them. If we really want to hold people accountable, the Security Department will bear the brunt.
The regiment leader not only failed to hold people accountable, but instead praised the Security Office for its efforts in this anti-special operation.
Apart from being grateful, He Wenlin could not find any other words to describe his mood at this moment.
Looking at Li Hao, with gratitude from the bottom of his heart, he solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Commander, from now on the security department will strictly investigate every recruit who enters the army, and will not let a spy sneak into the army or another rat."
Shit spoils the whole pot of porridge."
Li Hao nodded and replied: "I believe in the Security Department, but we must also be careful not to overdo it."
As soon as He Wenlin left the headquarters, Li Hao turned his attention to the map in front of him.
Looking at his two partners, he asked: "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, the last local troops will be in place in half an hour. The Japanese will definitely launch a general attack immediately and not give us a chance to retreat, so we have to start preparations."
"The Japanese army wants to gather us here and annihilate us. The most direct way is to break through in the center, penetrate quickly, block our retreat, then outflank us on both wings, surround us here, and finally gather them together to annihilate us, completely wiping us out."
"I decided to take advantage of the situation and allocate part of my troops to pretend to be local troops that the Japanese army wanted to encircle and annihilate. They would act as bait and hold on to the position to let the Japanese attack them."
"When the Japanese and puppet troops concentrated all their troops and firepower to attack the decoys we released, other troops formed a huge encirclement on the outside of the battlefield, surrounding all the Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield."
"After the encirclement was formed, the troops immediately launched an attack to reduce the encirclement."
"Work with the troops responsible for the bait, attack from inside and outside, and eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield."
Zhao Wen, commander of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, who had rested all morning, was the first to stand up: "Commander, leave the task of being the bait to us!"
"This is my defense area, and no one is more familiar with the terrain here than me."
"The Laiyuan Independent Battalion is trapped in the position and used as bait. It will definitely win this battle with minimal casualties."
"Furthermore, the soldiers have been sleeping since midnight yesterday and have recovered most of their physical strength. They are fully capable of this task."
Li Hao thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, let Laiyuan Independent Camp be the bait."
"The Datong Independent Battalion directly penetrated into the no-man's land and blocked the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"The Guangling Independent Battalion will encircle the left wing, the Hunyuan Independent Battalion will encircle the right wing, the guard company, the special agent company, and the independent company will prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from leaping over the wall and breaking out of our base area."
"The cavalry battalion disperses in platoon units to eliminate enemy stragglers who may break out of the encirclement."
"All local troops are on standby near the battlefield in company units. After the battle, I have important tasks for them."
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the chief of staff walked in with a complicated expression, holding two telegrams in his hand.
After seeing the lieutenant general, he reported with a serious face: "Your Excellency, Army Commander, I have two telegrams here, one good news and one bad news!"
"Datong City was lost?" the army commander understood immediately and looked at the chief of staff and asked.
"Hi!" The chief of staff handed over one of the telegrams: "This is the farewell telegram just sent by the Datong garrison. We only received half of the signal and then it was interrupted."
"However, we can still understand the basic situation of Datong from this half of the telegram."
"The main force of the garrison is still in Datong City. They dispatched at least 5,000 people in the morning attack."
"They have strong fighting power and good equipment. They must be a garrison group."
The commander was silent for a moment before his expression returned to calm, and then he spoke: "The Datong garrison created fighters for us to completely annihilate all the local troops in the garrison at the cost of destroying their entire army. They successfully completed their mission and are all heroes of the empire."
"After killing the garrison, I will personally ask for credit from the front army headquarters."
After saying that, the military commander stared at the chief of staff and asked, "What's the good news?"
The chief of staff took out another telegram, and the solemn expression on his face instantly relaxed.
While handing it to the commander, he reported: "The latest intelligence shows that the last local unit of the garrison arrived on the battlefield half an hour ago. There are more than 300 people, which is exactly the strength of a battalion."
This result was already expected by the commander. After hearing this, his calm face did not show any disturbance. He glanced at his watch and began to give orders.
"It's one o'clock in the afternoon!"
"Send a telegram to the attacking troops: According to our original plan, we will start a general attack at two o'clock to encircle and annihilate all the Eighth Route Army there."
"I want to receive the good news that they won before dark."
On the Laiyuan battlefield, the tenth line of defense of the garrison was broken through half an hour ago.
The Japanese troops did not take any action for the next half hour. People who did not know why would definitely think that they were having lunch and preparing for the afternoon attack.
Li Hao doesn't see it that way.
The Japanese army was not only preparing for the afternoon attack, but also preparing for the general offensive.
Standing at the commanding heights of the battlefield, he stared in the direction of the Japanese army with a serious face.
"Captain, the Japanese are on the move!" Hong Linfeng suddenly reminded.
At this moment, Li Hao saw more than a thousand Japanese puppet troops standing up from the ground, holding guns and light machine guns, and quickly assembled towards the tenth blocking position that had just been abandoned.
Heavy machine guns were mounted one next to the other, at least twenty of them, all aimed at the eleventh blocking position, preparing to provide fire cover for the attacking troops.
In the rear of the offensive position, mortars, mountain artillery, and field artillery were all set up by the Japanese army.
You know, the Japanese army only deployed mortars and infantry artillery in the morning attack.
Now that the mountain and field artillery are moving, it can be seen that the next attack is extraordinary.
