Li Hao didn't answer. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and frowned again!
"The devils don't have much time left for us!"
"Fifty minutes have passed and thirty-five minutes have passed. Order the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately and withdraw into the woods within fifteen minutes. No one can appear on the battlefield!"
"The reconnaissance company and the commando team will set off immediately and return to the outside of Lingqiu City. Keep an eye on Lingqiu City for me! From now on, no Japanese and puppet troops are allowed to enter or leave Lingqiu City!"
Hong Linfeng reacted quickly and asked immediately: "Captain, do you want the little devils in the city to become deaf and blind!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "He won't treat it as blind!"
"Don't forget, the Japanese still have planes that can be used as eyes. He can see everything he wants to see from the sky!"
Hong Linfeng frowned again, with a look of confusion on his face!
Li Hao explained directly: "There are likely to be two results between what you see in the sky and what you see up close on the ground!"
"For example, our artillery battalion, as long as the Japs scouts in the city don't come out and visit the battlefield in person! In the eyes of the Japs pilots, our artillery battalion that poses the greatest threat to them has been blown up by them!"
"Without artillery, even if Lingqiu City loses 500 men, the leader of the Japs Brigade is still confident that he can use the remaining 600 to 700 men to withstand the attack of our independent regiment!"
Hong Linfeng finally showed an expression of realization on his face!
"I understand: let the little devils in the city mistakenly think that we have no more mountain artillery, so that they can continue to defend Lingqiu City with confidence and boldness and implement their original plan!"
"When it gets dark, we set up the mountain cannon and launch a sudden attack. We will definitely catch Lingqiu City by surprise!"
"I'll make arrangements now!"
Seeing that Hong Linfeng was about to leave in a hurry, Li Hao quickly ordered: "Don't worry, I have other arrangements!"
"Order the soldiers of the second and third battalions to prepare a scarecrow for me as quickly as possible, then put their military uniforms on the scarecrows and spread them out on the battlefield to give the devil the illusion that our independent regiment has suffered heavy casualties!
"
"When the Lingqiu City garrison receives this news, they will definitely feel more confident in guarding Lingqiu City!"
At this time, Hong Linfeng looked at Li Hao with admiration and admiration!
The group leader thought so carefully that almost all loopholes were taken into consideration!
If I were the commander of the Japanese army, even if I tried my best, I would not be able to figure out that everything the aviation force saw from the sky was an illusion and a trap set by the independent regiment.
Immediately replied: "Captain, in this way, the commander of the Little Japanese Brigade will definitely be more confident in guarding Lingqiu City!"
"If we suddenly appear outside Lingqiu City after dark, we will definitely scare him into vomiting blood on the spot!"
In Lingqiu City, it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the commander of the Major General Brigade learned from the returning pilots that the entire attacking force had been destroyed!
The brigade leader was blinded at that time, with an expression of pain and despair on his face!
He didn't take the 500-day loss of the puppet troops seriously. What really made him heartbroken was that the chief of staff also died!
After calming down, the first thing the brigade commander thought about was how to give an explanation to the forces behind the chief of staff!
The power behind the chief of staff is too great. Now that he is dead, his path to promotion to lieutenant general and division commander through them will definitely be cut off!
Not only that.
If you can't give a reasonable explanation, you might be suppressed by them and change from a real-power brigade leader to a sinecure. That would be more of a loss than a gain!
After racking his brains for a full hour, the brigade leader made a decision!
We will not report the death of the Chief of Staff for the time being!
Wait until you destroy the independent regiment, and then report the news of the chief of staff's death in battle together with the victory report!
In this way, you have a victory to give yourself a foundation. Even if the forces behind the chief of staff are dissatisfied with you, there is no reason to suppress you!
The worst case scenario is that I will leave all the merits of annihilating the independent regiment to the Chief of Staff, and let the Chief of Staff die with honor. This can also be regarded as an explanation to the forces behind the Chief of Staff, so that they will have nothing to say!
Thinking of this, the brigade commander immediately stared at the communications staff officer in front of him and ordered!
"Except for me and you, this matter cannot be leaked to anyone without my order!"
The communications staff hesitated and reminded: "General, the aviation side must have known about it. After all, they sent this news. The entire attacking force was destroyed and an aircraft was lost. They witnessed it with their own eyes. Even if we
Even if you keep it a secret, they will still spread the news!"
The brigade commander shook his head and replied: "No, they only knew that the entire attacking force was destroyed, but they didn't know that the Chief of Staff was in the attacking force!"
"As long as the contents of the telegram are not leaked, other people in the headquarters will not know that the entire attacking force has been destroyed, and they will not know that the chief of staff has died in battle!"
"Hey, I got it!" the communications staff officer quickly replied!
Following the communications staff officer into the headquarters, the brigade commander announced a half-false and half-true news!
"Everyone, I would like to inform you of the good news now. The sortie troops commanded by the Chief of Staff, with the cooperation of aviation, successfully destroyed the artillery unit of the Independent Regiment! So from now on, even if the Independent Regiment gathers heavy troops to attack Lingqiu City, we will not have to attack Lingqiu City again.
Worried about their artillery fire!"
"Also, after a bloody battle, the chief of staff commanded the attacking troops to kill at least 980 Route Army troops in one battle even with the loss of one aircraft!"
"Currently, the chief of staff is commanding the troops to chase down a group of Eighth Route Army troops under the cover of aircraft, and has entered the independent regiment base!"
"For the sake of the safety of the troops, they will go to the front line to join the front-line troops tonight and uniformly command all the mopping up troops on the front line. They will not return to Lingqiu!"
"So from now on, the deputy chief of staff will temporarily act as the chief of staff!"
"In addition, I judge that the independent group will definitely continue to attack us tonight!"
"Although they suffered heavy casualties due to the joint attack by aircraft and sorties, we also lost 500 troops, so the remaining troops of the independent regiment will definitely not give up this excellent fighter plane and continue to attack us, forcing us to mobilize troops from the front line for reinforcements.
Relieve their endangered base area!"
"I ask everyone to start formulating a battle plan now, use the existing troops in Lingqiu City, and when defending Lingqiu City, continue to kill them in large numbers through defensive battles and consume their troops!"
"The frontline mopping up troops report: The mopping up strategy they are currently implementing is very good and they have achieved considerable results!"
"According to the schedule, in three days they will be able to deal a devastating blow to the Independence Regiment's base, then return to Lingqiu to aid, attack from both inside and outside, and completely annihilate the Independence Regiment, and win a complete victory!"
The deputy chief of staff immediately replied: "General, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"
"The Lingqiu garrison, the gendarmerie, and the remaining puppet troops all add up to nearly five hundred people!"
"Add the security squadron at the brigade headquarters, with a total strength of nearly 700 people!"
"Because the independent regiment has no siege artillery, I plan to arrange a reinforcement team in each direction of Lingqiu City. The Imperial Alliance Army will be divided into four, and all of them will go up to the city wall to assist the Imperial Army in defending the city!"
"Each reinforced team is equipped with two heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, three grenade launchers, plus the machine guns equipped by the puppet troops, and relies on the city wall for defense. As long as the attacking troops have no cannons, it will be no problem to block a battalion!"
"The remaining troops serve as the reserve force of the entire army and are stationed around the brigade headquarters. While protecting the headquarters, they are ready to reinforce the battlefield at any time!"
"I will take someone to make the specific arrangements and combat plan immediately, and I will send them to you, General, in an hour!"
"Yoshi!"
A smile appeared directly on the serious face of the brigade leader!
Compared with the arrogance of the chief of staff, the deputy chief of staff is not only humble, but also has rich combat experience, which obviously makes him more satisfied and reassured!
After thinking for a moment he promised.
"It's a good idea. Come out with the battle plan as soon as possible and fight this battle well. When the chief of staff leaves, I will promote you to the position of chief of staff!"
