Chapter 62: Team leader, intercepted a piece of enemy electricity!

“Duanzao!!”

“Duanzao!!”

“Duanzao!!”

In the woods outside the east gate of Heyuan County, under the night, the first battalion commander of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, Chen Zhenping, and others gathered together and stood at attention and saluted Xu Rui.

"Well! Brothers, come and take a look!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then asked the army staff to take out a map of Heyuan County that he had obtained in advance from the document bag and place it on the ground. Then, under the illumination of the flashlight, he pointed at the map of Heyuan County and said in a solemn voice: "

This is the map of Heyuan County."

Chen Zhenping and others nodded.

Xu Rui immediately continued to point to the map and said with a serious expression: "Brothers, Heyuan County is an important town in northwest Shanxi, with excellent transportation location."

"Although this city has tall and thick walls, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack! Fortunately, there are Japanese troops and puppet troops in the city, and there is no moat outside the city. Otherwise, it would still be very difficult for us to capture Heyuan County with our small force.

of."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping took the lead and said: "Tuanzuo, how do we fight?".

Xu Rui did not say anything immediately, but asked Zhu Ming, the commander of the new 15th Cavalry Battalion who was the first to fight outside the east gate of Heyuan County, "Ju Ming, after the cavalry battalion arrived here, what happened to the enemy forces in the city?"

Zhu Ming immediately said: "Tuanzuo, after our cavalry battalion arrived outside the east gate of Heyuan County, we immediately followed the previous order of the Tuanzuo and divided our troops to keep an eye on each gate of Heyuan County."

"The four gates of Heyuan County were tightly closed, and there were very few Japanese soldiers guarding the city. Since I only had one battalion of cavalry at the time, even if I dismounted and attacked immediately, I could not break the city. Therefore, I could only follow the regiment's instructions in advance.

Order, divide the troops to surround Heyuan County, and prevent the Japanese in the city from evacuating to the south of the city before the large troops arrive."

Xu Rui nodded and said, "You did a good job."

"Ju Ming!"

At this time, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu interjected and said solemnly: "Outside the four gates of Heyuan County, the little devils have not sent troops to build fortifications for defense?".

"No!! Chief of Staff!"

The commander of the cavalry battalion, Ju Ming, shook his head and said: "Sakata Nobori, this old devil, must have known that after the Miyafuji infantry brigade was ambushed and eaten by us, we don't have many troops on hand. If we don't want to abandon the city, we can only shrink our troops and occupy the base."

Guard the city."

"With the current strength of the old devil, it is no longer possible to send troops to build fortifications outside the city. Even if we send troops, it will only disperse the troops. It is better to concentrate the troops to hold on inside the city, which is the most reasonable."

Xu Rui nodded at this time, praised Zhu Ming and said: "You are right. If I were Sakata Nobori, I would not send troops to build fortifications outside the city to defend the city at this time."

"With the small number of troops and the fact that it is early in the morning and night, it is really not worth wasting our troops outside the city."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu then said: "Tuanzuo, how do we fight?".

Several other people also looked at Xu Rui quietly in the night.

"Although we are approaching the city, we have three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, plus artillery company, reconnaissance company and other units, totaling more than 2,100 troops."

Xu Rui pointed at the map of Heyuan County and said solemnly: "However, we cannot divide our forces to attack the four gates of Heyuan County. This will disperse our forces."

"Therefore, I decided to concentrate our forces and attack one of the gates, while the other three gates were divided into feints and besieged."

Chen Zhenping and others looked at each other and immediately started thinking.

To be honest, the troops approaching the city were only over 2,000 people.

If we divide our forces to attack the city in an all-round way, our forces will definitely be dispersed.

In addition to the Japs and puppet troops currently in the city, the total strength is probably enough for a regiment.

Sakata Nobori still has usable troops in his hands. If he defends the city, he can also give the 303rd Regiment a great blockade.

Thinking of this, everyone nodded in agreement with Xu Rui's decision.

"Tuanzuo, I agree!"

"Young Master, I agree too!"

“Tuanzu, let’s start the fight!”

Chen Zhenping and others whispered in succession.

"Then concentrate your forces and attack one of them!"

Seeing this, Xu Rui looked solemn, and then said to everyone: "Ju Ming, your cavalry battalion has the advantage of horses, so divide your troops and pretend to attack the west gate, north gate and south gate of Heyuan Xiang County."

"The remaining 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions will break into the city from the east gate."

Zhu Ming and others whispered in unison: "Yes, group seats."

"Artillery Battery!!!"

Xu Rui then ordered the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu: "Immediately build an artillery position, gather the two 75mm mountain guns and mortars brought in, and the two 82mm caliber mortars captured from the Miyafuji Infantry Brigade, and conduct

Covering artillery fire."

"Understood, Danzao!!!"

Wang Dazhu, commander of the artillery company of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, replied in a low voice with a serious expression.

"good!!!"

Xu Rui then said to Xu Dahu, the commander of the reconnaissance company: "The reconnaissance company was dispatched immediately to clear out the small group of possible Japanese troops outside Heyuan County."

"Yes, Danzai!!!"

Reconnaissance company commander Xu Dahu immediately replied.

"That's it, this is the basic siege strategy!"

Xu Rui looked at the map of Heyuan County illuminated by the flashlight and said in a solemn voice: "If this old devil Sakata Nobori doesn't want to lose Heyuan County, he should send a report asking for reinforcements."

"In other words, we must capture Heyuan County in about an hour and annihilate the rest of Sakata Nozori's troops."

When everyone heard this, their expressions were very serious.

What Xu Rui said makes sense. Facing almost all of Xu Rui's main troops who are approaching the city, Sakata Nobori does not want to lose Heyuan County and will most likely ask for help.

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu was sharp-minded. Hearing this, he immediately said in a concentrated voice: "Regiment members, you are worried that Sakata Nobuzuki did not withdraw from Heyuan County and flee south before our main force reached the city. You are confident to defend the city."

"Is it because Sakata Nobori will receive reinforcements?"

Xu Rui pointed to the map, the area south of Heyuan County, and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "There are about 20 kilometers south of Heyuan County, here, here, and here."

"There is a Japs force that can quickly reinforce the northward movement and must be defended. Therefore, we must fight quickly and try to eat the remnants of the Bantian Regiment and puppet troops in Heyuan County within an hour or so. Then, next

It is possible that we will continue to deal with the Japanese reinforcements coming from here and from here to the north."

After hearing this, Luo Youdu and others took a closer look at the map and immediately realized that Sakata Nobori might indeed be supported by reinforcements, and their expressions became very solemn.

Especially Luo Youdu said in a concentrated voice: "In this case, we really need to capture Heyuan County as soon as possible."

"Report to the group!!"

At this moment, a low voice interrupted everyone's conversation.

I saw the regimental communications soldier accompanying the army rushing to the side of the crowd, and then squatting down next to Xu Rui, the communications soldier hurriedly reported in a low voice: "An enemy radio signal has been intercepted!".
