Shuyuan took Xiaoyun and Qin Yue back to the living room, "Has she left?" Su Yuan asked.
"Yes." Shuyuan responded: "It's so late, so don't worry."
"Then you go and see him off." Su Yuan immediately suggested.
"Ayuan, is there going to be a very dangerous battle?" Shuyuan asked accusingly.
"Why do you say that?" Su Yuan replied pretending to be fine.
"Then why did you let Qingran go?" Xiaoyun asked immediately.
"She..." Su Yuan couldn't say anything, everyone understood Su Yuan's expression.
"Ayuan, do you know?" Shuyuan said: "When you participated in the Marco Polo Bridge battle, Xiaoyun and I were so sad when we received your death notice. Since you came back, we have decided that no matter what difficulties we encounter,
We will never leave you."
"You and Qingran have never fought before, so you should leave first." Su Yuan then said: "Xiaoyun and Qin Yue are staying, don't worry, I will be fine."
"I won't leave!" A clear voice came from outside.
"Sorry, are you leaving?" Shuyuan said immediately: "Look at our girl Qingran's eyes getting red from crying. Well, look, Ayuan still cares about you the most, so let you leave first."
It seemed that he could not convince them no matter what he said. Su Yuan could only nod. The situation in Ancheng at this time made him a little embarrassed. According to his previous style of play, he would give up voluntarily, but this would inevitably be criticized by the superiors. Although Su Yuan
He didn't care about this, but what he cared about was making the war zone realize that his judgment was correct so that he could be prepared. This battle must be fought, and it must be fought vigorously.
The best plan is to come to support and fight the Japanese, but now it seems that we can only rely on ourselves. Su Yuan has also thought about giving up Ancheng voluntarily, but he doesn't care if he is accused of losing the land.
, what worries him is that the war zone has not paid attention to the large-scale invasion that the Japanese army is about to launch so far. He has to fight a fierce battle here to prove it and buy time for the rear to prepare for the war. This battle is inevitable and will be
Extremely cruel.
Since a war was unavoidable, Su Yuan began to make full preparations for it. Having experienced the guerrilla war during his period in the Eighth Route Army, Su Yuan now did not want to defend Ancheng, but he could not give up easily. What he wanted to do was to use the minimum means
The casualties achieved two purposes: they temporarily covered the evacuation of the people in the city, but they also blocked the Japanese invasion to prove to Fengfeng the scale of the Japanese this time, and buy time for the rear to prepare for war.
But before that, he had to rely on himself. Su Yuan started preparations the next day. On the one hand, he asked Shuyuan and Qingran to mobilize the people in the city to evacuate. This task was not easy, and the people also did not believe that the Japanese would come back again.
, Su Yuan then asked Qin Yue to lead the women's guerrillas to join the mobilization.
The supplies in the city could not be left to the Japanese, so Su Yuan asked Li Jingshan and Gu Feihu to be responsible for the transfer. The rest was military action.
Su Yuan had participated in many defensive battles such as Marco Polo Bridge and Dai Ming. He knew that he could not just stick to the city and be beaten passively. After all, the Japanese artillery fire was still quite fierce. Therefore, he ordered Li Zhuang to lead the third battalion to establish the first blockade outside the city.
position, and let Meng Tian and Zhang Hao's two battalions prepare for battle in the city.
The whole city became busy under mobilization, and at this moment, Li Qian received the order from Shangfeng. She found Su Yuan. At first, Su Yuan thought that reinforcements had been sent, but she heard Li Qian say: "Shangfeng is asking for help."
We captured Anseong as a reward, and at the same time ordered us to consolidate and take the opportunity to develop outwards."
"Development? It's just a joke!" Su Yuan shouted impatiently: "Whether I can hold on is still a question."
"Ancheng must not be lost!" Li Qian said: "Now the war zone is vigorously promoting it. If it is lost, how can we explain it to the people?"
"Explain, wait and see how these officials explain Henan's loss." Su Yuan replied angrily.
"Su Yuan..." Li Qian still wanted to remind, but at this moment, Huzi came to report, "Brother, Battalion Commander Li sent me back to report that the Japs' vanguard has already moved towards us."
"It's really here." Su Yuan shouted to Li Qian: "Look, what else can you say?" Then he asked: "How many troops do the Japanese have?"
"According to reconnaissance, it is a Japanese regiment with about a thousand people." Huzi reported: "Now we are still thirty miles away."
Li Qian regained her energy when she heard this, and she immediately said: "There are only more than a thousand Japs, so this will not be a large-scale action by the Japs."
"What do you know?" Su Yuan immediately replied: "You think the Japanese are stupid. They don't want to expose their large-scale operation prematurely. Okay, don't get in the way. I'm going to command the battle."
At this time, Meng Tian and Zhang Hao came over after hearing the news. Su Yuan immediately reported the situation to them, and the two seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. There were only more than a thousand Japanese, so it was still possible to defend Ancheng.
.
But they heard that Su Yuan did not mean this. Su Yuan first ordered: "Zhang Hao, you lead your second battalion out of the city from the east. Wait for the Japanese to approach the city wall and press them up with all your strength. Brother Meng, you lead your first battalion in the city."
Keep the door open."
"Tuanzuo, what are you..." Zhang Hao was a little worried. Su Yuan's move seemed to be an attempt to eliminate the Japs.
"I'm afraid we don't have the ability. This is a Japanese army." Meng Tian also reminded worriedly.
What Su Yuan wants to do is to completely defeat this group of Japs, otherwise the enemy's large forces will not move. He also understands the strength of both sides, and he believes that his troops can do it.
Seeing that the two men were still hesitant, he said: "The enemy only came with a second-class regiment, which is comparable to our regiment in terms of strength."
"But this little devil's fighting ability..." Zhang Hao muttered.
"I participated in the blocking battle between Marco Polo Bridge and the Daimyo. If the Japanese were still the Japanese at that time, it would be really difficult for us to fight in this battle. But at that time, I led a company to stop the three-day fierce attack of a Japanese brigade, and
Now there has been a change on both sides of us. The Japanese have suffered heavy losses after years of attacks. Most of the troops are now being supplemented by new recruits, and their combat effectiveness has declined. As for us, look at the guys we have now."
Su Yuan has a reason for saying this. Now his troops have accumulated rich combat experience after many years of fighting, and the weapons in their hands are also different from what they used to be. In addition to the weapons seized from previous battles, there are also weapons he brought with him.
With a battalion of American equipment and a large amount of ammunition seized from the recovery of Ancheng, he was confident of a good fight with the Japanese.
Su Yuan, who had strong soldiers and horses, not only wanted to start a defensive battle with the Japanese, but also wanted to beat the Japanese to death. In the end, Meng Tian and Zhang Hao obeyed Su Yuan's deployment and began to lead their own troops to prepare for defense.
