Chapter 331 The prince’s special plane is here!
When Xu Rui heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said, "I almost forgot about this situation."
"Chief of Staff, you are reminding me!!!"
Luo Youdu immediately continued to speak solemnly: "In this case, we need Commander Li Yunlong to lead his second and third battalions to build a blocking position on Jiujiang Slope, about two kilometers north of Zhenting City, to block the Japanese infantry brigade heading south from Mingjia Town.
.”.
"Captain Li Yunlong has more than 2,000 people. In fact, only 1,000 people are enough to stop the Japanese from Mingjia Town south. And the other half of the troops can also participate in the attack on Zhenting Airport.
"
Xu Rui looked at the map in the headquarters and thought seriously under the light.
"Immediately send a secret telegram to Commander Li Yunlong and ask them to work together to kill the Japanese Prince Xiyuan Gong Chongren in the direction of Zhenting."
Xu Rui immediately condensed his voice.
"Um!!!"
Luo Youdu nodded, and immediately turned to Gu Jiaping, who was standing aside, and said: "According to the instructions of the regiment, immediately send a report to Commander Li Yunlong to inform the situation of Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace."
"Also, a request for assistance in blocking Jiujiangpo!"
Gu Jiaping nodded and said, "Understood, Chief of Staff." He immediately turned around and walked to the radio station, and then ordered his communications troops to immediately send a report to the commander of the new regiment, Li Yunlong.
After Gu Jiaping walked away, Xu Rui continued to say to Luo Youdu: "If the plan succeeds, we may be able to kill the third Japanese prince."
"Hehe, by then we will definitely be able to greatly reduce the arrogance of the little devil!"
Luo Youdu smiled and said, "That should be possible, group seat."
"I think the chance is great. After all, once Commander Li Yunlong blocks the Japanese infantry brigade heading south from Mingjia Town at Jiujiangpo, then the air assault battalion and the cavalry battalion will total more than a thousand people.
With our elite troops, we should be able to raid the airport and surround it to kill Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace. We should be very confident."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "We'll see."
"I hope those two boys, Zhu Ming and Xu Dahu, can resolve the battle quickly with the help of Captain Li Yunlong."
Luo Youdu said: "Then let's wait and see.".
Of course, Xu Rui finally continued to order the battalions on the river defense positions on the north bank of the Nanliu River to continue to be vigilant.
After all, there are still more than 30,000 Japanese troops on the south bank of the Nanliu River.
Taro Takeshita also has 190 assault boats in hand, which can be sneaked across the river to attack at any time.
Therefore, it is still necessary to be vigilant and defensive.
"Don't worry, Tuanzuo."
Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said solemnly: "I will keep an eye on it at all times."
"Um!!!"
Xu Rui nodded, the current battle situation was already under his control.
However, the thought of underestimating the enemy is still unacceptable.
And three or four minutes later, in a place in the high mountains near Mingjia Town.
The Second and Third Battalions of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, with a total of more than 2,000 troops, were hidden in a high mountainous valley. Under the command of the regiment leader Li Yunlong, they continued to rest and recuperate in situ.
Soon, after receiving a report from the correspondent that he had received a secret telegram from the 303rd Regiment, Li Yunlong immediately took the telegram from the correspondent and read it.
After reading it, he handed it to Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan and Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao.
"Captain, the little devil actually has a third prince here!"
After reading the telegram, Shen Quan, commander of the second battalion of the New Regiment, said: "Commander, what should I do?".
"Of course we will go south in a roundabout way and rush to Jiujiangpo to set up an ambush to block the Japanese infantry brigade heading south from Mingjia Town."
Li Yunlong knew the current battle situation and said immediately.
Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion of the New Regiment, also nodded and said: "Commander, I also agree."
"There are still two infantry brigades in Mingjia Town. According to the call from Captain Xu Rui, from the front line on the south bank of the Nanliu River, Takeshita Taro has transferred another infantry brigade south to Mingjia Town to take over from Mingjia Town. There is a vacancy in the Japanese infantry brigade returning to Zhenting City."
After a pause, Wang Huaibao continued: "We are definitely unable to attack Mingjia Town here."
"After all, there are still 30,000 Japanese troops on the front line on the south bank of the Nanliu River. We didn't expect to launch an attack on Mingjia Town in a day or two. What's more, the cavalry battalion and air assault battalion of the 303rd Regiment have secretly moved south to the town. Pavilion."
Li Yunlong understood what Wang Huaibao meant, and immediately said to Wang Huaibao and Shen Quan: "Order the troops to assemble immediately. We will take a small road and march quickly to Jiujiang Slope to build an ambush and blocking position."
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Chen Quan and Wang Huaibao stood at attention and saluted, and whispered: "Yes, leader!".
Immediately the two of them walked away to gather their troops.
A few minutes later, more than 2,000 men from the 2nd and 3rd battalions of Li Yunlong's command post detoured from the hidden mountain valleys, avoiding Mingjia Town, then took a small road and rushed towards Jiujiang slope to march southward.
The remaining Japanese troops stationed in Mingjia Town had no idea about all this.
At this time, it is already 6:50 in the morning!
Time passed by little by little.
At 8:13 in the morning, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the Shenquan Division of the Second Battalion of the Command Post, and Wang Huaibao of the Third Battalion, a total of about 2,000 people, took a small road to prevent the Japanese from returning south from Mingjia Town to Zhenting City. The infantry brigade protecting the Japanese Prince successfully arrived at Jiujiangpo before arriving at Zhenting City.
Jiujiangpo is located about two kilometers north of Zhenting City. It is the collective name of two small mountainous areas with an altitude of more than 100 meters on both sides of the road.
Among them, the small mountainous area on the left side of the highway is Zuojiujiangpo, and the small mountainous area on the right side of the highway is naturally Youjiujiangpo.
Although the altitude of these two small mountainous areas is only over 100 meters, the width of the road between the two small mountainous areas is less than eight meters.
It is narrow, and the two hills are enough to clamp the road.
As long as firepower points are set up on two small hills and the left and right firepower covers the narrow section of the road, there will be no problem.
This is why Xu Rui agreed when he saw on the map that Luo Youdu asked two battalions commanded by Commander Li Yunlong to ambush and block the Jiujiang Slope here.
This old river slope is really suitable for blocking the Japanese infantry brigade returning south from Mingjia Town.
Sure enough, Li Yunlong, who arrived at Jiujiang Slope, climbed up the hill on the left to take a look, and immediately pointed to the second battalion commander Shen Quan and the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao and said to the left and right Jiujiang Slopes: "Sure enough, it is suitable for blocking. place, immediately ask the soldiers to block the road between the two small mountains with obstacles."
"The second battalion is in the mountains on the left, and the third battalion is in the mountains on the right to establish firepower points and build infantry defensive blocking positions."
Chen Quan and Wang Huaibao both stood at attention and said in unison: "Yes, leader."
Immediately, the two of them started building fortifications non-stop. After all, the Japs heading south from Mingjia Town were probably less than half an hour away from them.
Li Yunlong felt that it was not difficult to hold 2,000 men at Jiujiangpo to block the Japanese infantry brigade heading south from Mingjia Town.
Of course, Li Yunlong also asked people to directly contact Xu Dahu and Zhu Ming through the radio station, after all, they wanted to assist in the battle.
Soon, after Li Yunlong commanded his second and third battalions in Jiujiangpo, Xu Dahu and Zhu Ming, who were already near Zhenting Airport, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lao Zhu, your cavalry battalion must besiege Zhenting City before our air assault battalion attacks the airport and kills the Japs Prince, so that the Japanese and puppet troops in the city cannot leave the city and rush to the airport."
Xu Dahu, commander of the 18th Airborne Assault Battalion, said solemnly to Zhu Ming, commander of the Cavalry Battalion: "How is it?".
"Are you sure?"
Zhu Ming, commander of the 303rd Regiment Cavalry Battalion, chuckled and said: "Don't worry, there are less than 800 Japanese and puppet troops in Zhenting City, and among them, there is only one Japanese squadron with more than 200 people."
"There is only one battalion of puppet troops in the city, and their combat effectiveness is rubbish. When the time comes, I will command the cavalry battalion to capture Zhenting City. It will be possible by then!"
Seeing this, Xu Dahu nodded and said, "Then I'll leave your boy in charge of the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhenting City."
"Don't worry!"
Ju Ming put away his smile, and then said in a serious voice.
"Um!!!"
Xu Dahu nodded, and then the two of them immediately dispersed and started taking action.
A few minutes later, at 8:16 in the morning, Xu Dahu heard the rumble of aircraft coming from the southwest sky above Zhenting Airport.
"Battal Commander, the Japs Prince's special plane is here!"
Xu Dahu and others who were hiding in the mountain forest near the airport looked up at the sky, and then the first company commander of the air assault battalion next to Xu Dahu whispered.
"Saw it!"
Xu Dahu also saw the Japanese Prince's special plane emerging from the clouds. On both sides of the Japanese Prince's special plane were escorted and protected by two Zero fighter jets.
At first glance, it is impossible that it is not the private plane of the Japanese Prince.
