Outside Yutai City.

"Now we have cleared all the remnants of the Japanese army outside, and now there are only the Japanese army in Yutai County. According to our estimates, there should be more than 1,000 people..."

The New 38th Division Command is located in a temple in the suburbs. Although it disturbed the tranquility of the temple, the monks in the temple were not dissatisfied with it. They even welcomed Luo Yufeng and the others to settle in.

On the night when the Japanese army entered Yutai, they passed by this temple and snatched the Buddhist bone relics that had been worshipped for hundreds of years in the temple.

Therefore, the monks hope to recover the Buddha's bone relics and worship them again in the hall.

Wherever the Japanese army goes, they rob, kill people, and do everything evil. One day they will not do bad things, have strict military disciplines and do not violate the people, that is terrible.

On the wall of the side hall, there is a map of Yutai County. The blue arrows are the New 38th Division, and the red ones are naturally the Japanese army. Now the blue arrows above all point to one place.

That is Yutai County, Guting Town, a small county town with a radius of less than three kilometers.

"Li Dong, what is the current situation of the Japanese army's weapons, ammunition and food supply?"

"According to our reconnaissance and analysis, the Japanese army is currently sufficient ammunition, but heavy weapons were completely lost in our violent artillery attacks in the previous stage, and there is no shortage of food. They were raiding Yutai, and there is a certain amount of food in the city, and there will be no shortage of food for the time being."

"It seems that unless we continue to increase the intensity of artillery attacks, it will be difficult for us to break into the city in a short period of time. We must solve this Japanese army as soon as possible before we can help the Honorary First Division deal with the old devil Kenji Doihara." Luo Yufeng said solemnly.

"But the Japanese army's defensive front is very tight and has certain city defense fortifications to cover. In order to defend Yutai, Li Hanzhang's 74th Division strengthened the city defense fortifications in Yutai City and built anti-aircraft fortifications and machine gun castles. Now they have become the biggest obstacles to our attack on Yutai!" Qin Yankun explained.

"Are there any street fortifications in Yutai County?"

"Li Dong!"

"arrive!"

"Are there any street fortifications in Yutai County?"

"Yes, after surrounding Yutai, we contacted Commander Li Hanzhang of the 74th Division. After they left Yutai, the defense map was not taken away, but they drew a new picture for us based on their memory."

"Where is the picture?"

"Here." Soon, a street defense map in Yutai County was found. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate, it is better to have it than not.

"From the defense map of the street fortifications in this city, Commander Li was still concerned about the protection of Yutai. Look, this street is the main road between the north and the south. He has arranged two crossing firepower points here and here, so that four streets can be controlled from front, back and left and right. If there are no heavy weapons, even if our troops rush up, they will probably suffer heavy casualties..."

"Lao Luo, it seems that we are in trouble."

"Can you send a reconnaissance team into the city to find out the situation?"

"I'm afraid not. We surrounded the county town. Even the people in the city probably hid at home and dared not come out. Once a new face appears, they will definitely be noticed. And if we have the opportunity to sneak in, we will have already attacked."

"Master, I think this picture seems to be a bit problematic." Operational staff officer Ding Zijun suddenly said with a 'huh'.

"What's the problem?" Everyone stared at the pictures on the table, and no one saw the problem. Only Xiao Ding saw the problem. Is so many people's eyes worse than you?

"The position of the division is a reed marsh. Yutai County is different from the cities we encountered. It does not have a traditional moat. A river passes through the county town. County towns like Yutai are built on flat terrain, and there are many rivers in the territory, crisscrossing. Military speaking, such cities are not suitable for persistence. Commander Li is an old corps and will not understand this principle. Therefore, although he tried his best to build fortifications, his main goal is not to defend the enemy, but to block or delay the enemy's attack. I guess Commander Li must have reserved a passage for retreat or breakout."

"Secret passage?"

"It's not necessarily a secret passage, it's a place that we don't easily discover but is easily overlooked. Only those who are familiar with the geographical environment here know that my feeling is this reed marsh."

"Hao Yunlai, come and invite a guerrilla team who is familiar with the terrain of the county town."

"yes!"

After a while, a slim man in short beating came in from outside, with a shiny box cannon around his waist.

"This is Captain Fan of the guerrillas, a native of Yutai, and is very familiar with the situation inside and outside the county town."

"Captain Fan, I'm sorry, come and take a look at this picture for us." Qin Yankun stepped forward and greeted.

"Yes, Chief of Staff Qin." For Fan Yuanpu, Qin Yankun had known each other for a long time. The guerrillas also participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese Sakashi troops in the past three days and undertake the important task of guiding.

Fan Yuanpu came forward, and under the illumination of the gasoline lamp, he reached out and carefully observed the picture bit by bit.

"There should be a reed marsh here, about 200 meters..." Finally, Fan Yuanpu raised his head and said exactly the same as the direction Ding Zijun pointed at just now.

“Is there no mark on the picture?”

"No, such an important terrain should be marked, so I think it's strange." Fan Yuanpu said in confusion.

"Is there anything special about this reed marsh?"

"You can enter the city directly from this reed marsh, but it doesn't work during the day. It must be around one or two o'clock after midnight. The water level will rise to its highest level, and it will only be this season." Fan Yuanpu explained.

"Is this the secret door left by the 74th Division?"

"Secret door?" Fan Yuanpu didn't quite understand.

"Captain Fan, can you quietly enter the city from this reed marsh without being discovered?" asked Ding Zijun, a combat staff officer.

"The reed marsh used to be Yutai Detention Center."

"Detention center?"

The 74th Division wants to leave a way for itself, but it will never be too obvious. It can be discovered at a glance that on the surface, this should be a place with very strong defense.

The detention center has courtyard walls and relatively strong defense measures, but because of this reed marsh, it is definitely not an easy task to break through here.

It is also difficult to attack. There must be deep silt under the reed beach, and it is very difficult for soldiers and tanks to act. Once they fall into the silt, they become living targets.

"This is not a breakthrough for offense, but it is relatively easy for defense. Just a small amount of troops are required to garrison the detention center and form cross-fire points on both sides to block most of the enemies."

"But it's not easy to walk from here, right?"

"We have a small boat for lotus picking, which can travel quickly on the silt. If there is a certain amount of water, the speed will be faster and there is no sound." Fan Yuanpu explained.

"Is there a ship like this?"

"have!"

"That's great!" A ray of light burst out from Luo Yufeng's eyes.

"But this kind of ship can only carry about two people at most, and it is difficult to drive, so..."

"If I were looking for such a ship now, how many could I find?"

"If we mobilize our people to search in the nearby village, we should be able to find twenty or thirty items. If there are too many, I dare not say it." Fan Yuanpu thought for a while.

"Twenty or thirty, too few." Luo Yufeng frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Lao Luo, I think twenty or thirty lines have passed. The reed marsh is not big, there are too many boats, and the noise is too big." Qin Yankun reminded.

Luo Yufeng nodded and immediately said, "Captain Fan, I have to work hard to get you there. The more lotus picking boats, the better. Also, the boatman who drives the boat also needs to be fast. Can it be done?"

"Teacher Luo, do you really plan to attack the Japanese army from the Reed Marsh Detention Center?" Fan Yuanpu asked excitedly.

"Whether the plan can be completed depends on whether you can collect enough ships. If you can't approach the detention center silently, it would be too risky." Luo Yufeng said.

"Please rest assured that I will be able to find the boat for you, and there is no problem with the boatman. My guerrillas have the ability to drive such a small boat, which is guaranteed to be fast and soundless."

"Okay, you can go down and prepare quickly."

"Teacher Luo, can we participate in the action?" Fan Yuanpu Xiyi asked.

Luo Yufeng thought for a moment and nodded. If it were ordinary people, they could just send people there, but if it was an anti-Japanese guerrilla, it would be different. They themselves have a certain combat power. At critical moments, one more person and more strength.

"Thank you, Commander Luo, I'll go back and prepare now!"

"Go and call Tu Man here." Luo Yufeng ordered the guards.

"Old Luo, Tu Man has an impulsive personality. It is more appropriate to hand over such a secret task to Cao Xingyang." Qin Yankun hurriedly reminded.

"The battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion is Tu Man, and Cao Xingyang is just his deputy. It is not appropriate to let Cao Xingyang go." Luo Yufeng shook his head and said.

"Then let them both go."

"Well, this is a way. We can remove 30 capable generals from the investigation, touch them from the reed marsh, and occupy the detention center. We can cut the Japanese troops in the city into two parts in one fell swoop and annihilate them. This can not only reduce casualties, but also shorten the time. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Luo Yufeng said staring at the map.

"See what he thinks about our idea?"

"Yes, yes."

Yuncheng, honors the First Division.

"Teacher Luo sent a telegram, and they wanted to launch a night attack on the Japanese army in the city through loopholes in Yutai County's city defense, so as to achieve the goal of annihilation of the Japanese army in the county in one fell swoop."

"What's the statement about the loopholes in the city defense fortifications?"

"They got the fortifications inside and outside the city when Li Hanzhang's 74th Division was deployed in Yutai, and found that Li Hanzhang quietly left a way out for himself. This way out is very secret and most people can't find it. They also found it strange. They asked the local guerrillas to figure out what was going on. So they wanted to use this loophole to sneak attack the Japanese army and annihilate the Banxi troops."

"Call Li Hanzhang and ask him to reply truthfully immediately!" Leng Feng ordered.

"yes!"
