Chapter 96: The 15th Cavalry Battalion was added to participate in the war!

At this time, Chen Zhenping, the first battalion commander who was squatting on Xu Rui's left, spoke out: "Rangzhou, do you mean the Huting stronghold?"

"That's right."

Xu Rui pointed to the sketch of three locations such as the Huting Fortress that Xu Dahu used branches to mark the ground, and continued to whisper: "The Huting Fortress is among the three points, protruding toward the north."

"Xujia Town and Hanjia Town are heading south. Now we are fighting from north to south, and the first thing we are fighting is the Huting stronghold."

After pausing for two seconds, Xu Rui continued to analyze the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping and the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming and others: "This is conducive to our attack."

"What's more, once the Huting stronghold is attacked, the Japanese squadrons of Hanjia Town and Xujia Town in both directions will inevitably attack us."

The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping thought for a while and said, "In this way, according to the enemy situation, I think it is better to divide the troops and eat the enemy troops on both wings first."

"And then, attack the Huting stronghold! When we attack the Huting stronghold, the Japanese on both wings will definitely not sit idly by. It is better to talk to the Japanese defenders who pulled out Xujia Town and Hanjia Town."

When Xu Rui heard this, he did not object, but asked the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming, "Liu Shuoming, what do you think?"

"Team."

The second battalion commander Liu Shuoming thought for a while and said, "I agree with Lao Liu's suggestion to first cut off the Japanese defenders in Hanjia Town and Xujia Town on both wings. After all, there are more than 400 Japanese soldiers in the direction of the two wings."

"It cannot be underestimated! Ishida Tsubusu's infantry brigade is considered the top-ranking main infantry brigade among the Hirotou Regiment under the Fourth Japanese Brigade, and its combat effectiveness is not weak."

Seeing this, Xu Rui knew that Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming agreed to remove the enemy's threat from both wings, and then concentrated their forces to attack the Huting stronghold.

After all, the main battle still took place at the Huting stronghold.

"You two said that, that's it!"

After thinking about it, Xu Rui made up his mind and said, "In the night battle, we have the greatest advantage."

"Then we will divide our troops into one hundred and move towards both wings!"

Pointing at the schematic topographic map of the three places that Xu Dahu used branches to mark on the ground, Xu Rui thought of a strategy and said, "We gathered the remaining more than 900 people to attack the Huting stronghold."

"The team, this is a bit like a little bit of a fight for support!"

As a top-ranking main battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping was quick-minded and immediately whispered.

"Hahaha, you guys guessed quite quickly!"

Xu Rui smiled and whispered: "What you said just now is right. After all, there is a squadron of more than 200 people in Hanjia Town and Xujia Town each stationed."

"Once we attack the Huting stronghold, the threat from both wings cannot be seen. Since we also divide our troops to attack the enemy on both wings, we divide our troops to attack. However, we attack the Huting stronghold and lure the Japanese from Hanjia Town and Xujia Town out of the town to reinforce the Huting stronghold. Our troops from both wings ambush the Japanese defenders from these two places halfway."

After pausing, Xu Rui continued, "Hehe, it really means to be surrounded by some help."

"But in fact, it's not wrong to be a match against the aid."

Seeing this, the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping whispered: "Royal Head, give the order!".

"No hurry!"

Xu Rui waved his hand and then asked Duan Peng: "Duan Peng, when you were digging fortifications for the Japanese in Xujia Town, how were the defenses of the Japanese defenders in Xujia Town?"

"Not very good, group seat."

When Duan Peng saw Xu Rui asking himself, he immediately whispered: "Although there are more than 200 Japanese soldiers stationed in Xujia Town, only some of their troops are stationed in the fortifications."

"Most of the troops were resting in the houses of ordinary people seized in the town."

Seeing this, the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming said, "Rangzhou, do you mean the Japanese defenders in Hanjia Town and Xujia Town, are ready to dispatch and reinforce the Japanese defenders in Huting stronghold at any time?"

“Obvious.”

Xu Rui said in a narrow voice: "It seems that the Japanese captain Ishida Wen Shu, who had previously stationed on this defense line, was indeed prepared for mobile defense."

"After all, although Hanjia Town and Xujia Town are the two wings of the Huting stronghold, the defense to the north is not enough for the two places to protect his flanks. It is better to quickly detect the situation when the battle starts, and transfer the Japanese defenders from these two places to support the defense of the Huting stronghold. It is also the best choice."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "If Ishida Wenshu, I will do this then."

"But what the Japanese Ishida Wenshu doesn't know is that this will give us a fighter plane to divide our troops and ambush."

The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping, the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming and others nodded, and the regiment commander was right.

Seeing this, the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping said, "Royal Head, then order the fight!"

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded and finally began to deploy the attack details. He pointed to the schematic diagram of the three places on the ground that Xu Dahu used branches to mark the branches, and then said in a voice: "The Second Battalion divided the troops and strengthened the company, each of which deployed 100 people, and ambushed halfway through Hanjia Town and Xujia Town to reinforce Huting."

"These two places are not much different from the Huting stronghold, and they are about one kilometer away from the Huting stronghold."

After a pause, Xu Rui said to the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming: "Liu Shuoming, if you assign commanders to divide the troops and wings, you must set up an ambush successfully!"

"I have brought some of the light machine guns I have brought to strengthen the ambushing troops on both sides."

The second battalion commander Liu Shuoming nodded and whispered in a solemn look: "Regiment, please ensure that the task is completed. I will specifically remind the commander who set up an ambush on both wings and halfway up the road."

"good!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping and the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu: "The first battalion, plus the other 300 people from the second battalion, will mainly attack the Huting stronghold."

"When fighting starts, it must be a fierce attack, forcing the main force of the Ishida Infantry Brigade stationed at Huting stronghold to transfer the Japanese defenders from both wings to Huting stronghold to reinforce, and to obtain favorable fighter jets for the ambush brothers."

"The mortars brought by the artillery company were violently bombarded at the Huting stronghold. First, the barbed wire fortifications and machine gun fortifications that the Japanese at the Huting stronghold were watching were blown into ruins."

The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping and the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu whispered in the same time: "I understand, regiment seat!".

"good!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, then shouted the correspondents and whispered to him: "Tell me to the Chief of Staff and let the Chief of Staff transfer the newly formed 15th Cavalry Battalion as a reserve."

"This time I forgot that the cavalry battalion was transferred, and I was wrong."

The communication soldier recorded what Xu Rui said, then nodded in a low voice and said, "Yes, the team."

Waving his hand, Xu Rui signaled the communications soldiers to go to the side and use the radio station to send a report to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, asking him to transfer Zhu Ming's cavalry battalion.

Because Xu Rui realized that if he took down the Huting stronghold, Hanjia Town and Xujia Town, he might take advantage of the time when the old Japanese commander Taro Miyamoto, the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese, had no time to react, and let the cavalry battalion go south, and perhaps he could take advantage of the opportunity to capture the Xiushui River Bridge about eight kilometers south of the Huting stronghold.

You know, this is a must-pass place for the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army to continue to move south and reach Jinghai County, where the Fourth Brigade Regiment Headquarters is located!

This is a very important guide!

Only then did Xu Rui realize that he forgot to bring the cavalry battalion.

But, it's not too late yet.

"Mad, I almost wasted the possibility of seizing it."

Xu Rui blurted out and made his debut.

Chen Zhenping and others saw Xu Rui saying this, and they didn't understand why.

The second battalion commander Liu Shuoming asked in a low voice: "Regiment, why did Zhu Ming's newly formed 15th Cavalry Battalion be transferred?"

"They are cavalry and cannot fight the cavalry raids at night, right? Most of the subsequent battles at Huting Stronghold were tough battles!"

The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping was also a little confused. The two battalions dispatched now, including the artillery company, reconnaissance company, etc., totaled more than 1,100 elite troops.

In fact, it is enough to capture the Huting stronghold, Hanjia Town and Xujia Town.

Although he looked like the same troops as the Japanese defenders who defended these points, the combat effectiveness of the Sakata United team was strengthened a little bit after taking over the combat effectiveness of the First and Second Battalions.

Now, Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming have no doubts about setting up three locations tonight.
