Chapter 173 The enemy's power was intercepted and the 36th Division sent troops!

"Team, you are very confident!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu heard this and smiled and said, "Can you eat more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers in just a month?"

"Why do I feel a little disbelief?"

Seeing this, Xu Rui smiled and said, "It seems that the enemy and our troops are at an absolute disadvantage in comparison with six to one."

"But we are now on guard and take the initiative to defend. In defensive wars, the Japanese must concentrate at least 40,000 or 50,000 troops to form an absolute military advantage over our 303rd Regiment."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "What's more, we are ready now, just waiting for the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment to die."

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, even if we can't eat the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment this time, it should be no problem to kill 10,000 or 20,000 Japanese troops."

Seeing Xu Rui so confident, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu also smiled and said, "Royal Headquarters, let's go out of the regiment headquarters to go to the south gate to take a look."

"OK!"

Xu Rui nodded and knew what Luo Youdu meant.

Immediately, the two left the regiment headquarters and soon arrived at the south gate of Jinghai County.

At this time, the first, second, fourth, fifth battalions of the 303rd Regiment were gathered in Jinghai County, the first, second, fourth, fifth battalions of the 303rd Regiment, the newly formed 15th Cavalry Battalion, the newly formed 18th Air Break Battalion, plus other troops such as the Artillery Company,

There are about 3500 people in total.

The third battalion of the 303rd Regiment was still stationed in Lijia Town, guarding the main trends of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army to the west. The newly formed sixth battalion was left behind in Heyuan County and guarding the large base behind.

"Group seat!"

At the top of the south gate of Jinghai County, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu pointed to the two hills of Dabei Mountain in the southwest corner and Xiaobei Mountain in the southeast corner, not far from the Zhinanmen City, and said condescendingly: "The First Battalion Chen Zhenping has entered the market at present.

Dabei Mountain, and fortifications are built on and below Dabei Mountain."

"Liu Shuoming's troops in the Second Battalion have also entered Xiaobei Mountain and are speeding up the time to build defensive fortifications on the mountain."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued, "According to the determination of the combat plan, the fourth battalion defended the infantry positions outside the city at the end of the city, and the fifth battalion divided the troops to guard the west gate and the east gate and the north gate, and the 1st cavalry battalion divided the troops.

The 18th Air Crater is in the absolute reserve team as a killer weapon."

"Order Xu Dahu to command the 18th Kong Tu battalion to retreat to the Huting stronghold for hidden training. This unit does not need to be in Jinghai County, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese."

Xu Rui thought for a while and said.

"OK."

Luo Youdu nodded, and that's true.

"At present, the two mountainous areas outside Jinghai County, and fortifications have basically been constructed."

Luo Youdu said: "According to this defense system, we have concentrated more than 3,500 troops in Jinghai County, which should be able to withstand the fierce attack of 30,000 Japanese devils for a week."

"In just one week, we must withdraw from Jinghai County. Otherwise, it will be a war of attrition. Even if our troops are strong in defense, there will be no shortage of casualties, and the regiment will be in charge."

When Xu Rui heard this, his eyes became serious and nodded and said, "Chief of Staff, you are right."

"So, we will retreat to the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge at that time, and then lengthen the transportation supply lines of the 36th Division and other Japanese troops. At that time, Zhu Ming's 15th Cavalry Battalion can move to the rear and harass the Japanese from Jinghai at any time at any time

The supply line from the county town to the south of Xiushui River is here.”

Luo Youdu nodded, then pointed to the position outside the city and said, "The troupe and the position outside the city have basically built a large number of trenches, and we have used all the captured Japanese barbed wire."

"Hehe, even if the Japanese conquered Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, they would have to face a hedgehog-like barbed wire position."

Xu Rui nodded and looked out of the city.

I saw dense defensive trenches spread out on the ground at least two hundred meters away from the city.

The crisscrossed and the scalp is numb.

Although Xu Rui was very confident in Jinghai County and the 36th Division, the 41st two Japanese troops were stationed in the wing for a week.

However, the Japanese have a lot of troops after all.

Once the troops are at the city, the siege will definitely be rapid.

With more than 3,500 troops concentrated in Jinghai County, we must use trenches and other defensive fortifications to stagnate and block the Japanese's fierce attack.

"Let the first battalion and other units build more trenches on the ground that the Japanese attack must pass, and some raised hills hollow out, and build hidden machine gun castles. I want the Japanese 36th Division and other units to follow up.

The attack on Jinghai County must be paid for every step of the attack."

Xu Rui said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

"Well, I remember, I will send someone to notify Chen Zhenping and others to follow the instructions of the rank of the group."

Luo Youdu nodded and said with a serious expression.

"Now, let's see that the Japanese soldiers are coming to the city in a few days, and we can fight with more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers."

Xu Rui said with a laugh.

"We will win the team."

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu also laughed and seemed very confident.

"That's!!!"

Xu Rui smiled and said.

And just when Xu Rui and Luo Youdu were at the end of the south gate of Jinghai County.

At this time, the division headquarters of the 36th Division of the Japanese.

"The division commander, the division's infantry brigades, infantry corps and other units, as well as the division's engineering corps and other units, have basically been assembled."

Major General Kenshoro Takera Takeraki, the chief of staff of the 36th Division, said to the division commander Lieutenant General Nagata.

"Yoxi!!"

Hearing this, Taro Nagata finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Five days later, at about 3:00 pm, the troops set off and headed towards Kyohai County."

"By the way, have you got the latest information about the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army?"

Then, Taro Nagata asked Kensalo Takeru.

"I basically got some, division commander!"

Chief of staff of the division, Kensabu Takefuji, said, then waved his hand and signaled a confidential Japanese staff to take some intelligence documents and handed them to Taro Nagata.

Taro Nagata nodded, took the information and read it.

"The current actual force of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army is still unclear?"

After reading the intelligence documents, Taro Nagata frowned and said, "There are only a few vague words. The approximately 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army has a force of between 3,000 and 5,000."

"At least, from the information obtained by the commander of the Fourth Brigade Taro Miyamoto before he died in the battle, he sent a few reports to the headquarters. Xu Rui's troops were about two or three thousand. After the destruction of the Fourth Brigade, he was sure.

During these seven days, the other party will definitely recruit soldiers."

Kensalo Takerata said in a voice: "The division commander, the enemy's troops are about 5,000, which should be almost the same."

"We are now a division, plus the 41st Infantry Regiment to which the Third Brigade, have a total strength of more than 30,000. The elite troops of the Imperial Army are 6 to 1. We are not afraid of not being able to crush this enemy army."

After putting down the intelligence documents, Taro Nagata shook his head and said, "Don't be careless."

"Zhu Tengjun, the imperial army that has been lost to Xu Rui now has a full infantry brigade. With the strength of an infantry corps, the total number of more than 11,000 imperial troops has been 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

The regiment commander led his troops to annihilate."

"If so many imperial troops want to be annihilated, according to their previous combat power and enemy forces, they must at least concentrate more than 100,000 elite troops of the Central Army to achieve such great results."

After a pause, Taro Nagata continued, "So, you can't have such an idea if you underestimate the enemy."

"What the division commander said is."

Kensalo Takerado nodded and said, "Teacher Commander, we will set off at 3 pm in five days. It is estimated that we will arrive at Jinghai County before 11 pm."

As he said that, he pointed to a map of northwest Shanxi placed on the table of the division and regiment headquarters, and said in a voice.

"Um."

Taro Nagata nodded and said, "There are four or five days left to order the reconnaissance troops under the division to set out before the large army, and to reach the vicinity of Jinghai County, or to go to the 41st Infantry Regiment after the

Investigation will be carried out in Haixian Town and other places.”

"Five days later, when the army arrives at the city of Jinghai County, I need to get more enemy intelligence."

Kensalo Takeraki said heavily: "I understand, division commander, I will personally deploy this matter."

"Um!"

Taro Nagata nodded, then looked at the map with a serious look.

Taro Nagata did not despise the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army to annihilate more than 11,000 imperial troops.

And time continues to pass with the preparations of both sides.

The remaining troops of the 40th Infantry Regiment and the 40th Infantry Regiment were annihilated by the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army between the first line Tian and the Huting stronghold at 3:00 p.m. on the twelfth afternoon, the 36th Division of the Japanese officially completed the assembly of troops and supplies.
