Wujiachong, on the north side of the road leading to the airport from the suburbs of Changzhi, is also where the Tainan Military Region headquarters is currently located.
At this time, Xing Zhiguo was leading the staff of the General Staff Office to draw up a map of the situation between the enemy and ourselves around Changzhi based on the intelligence that was constantly coming in.
"Okay, Old Zhou, come and see!" Xing Zhiguo called Zhou Weihan to come forward and watch.
On the map, a double solid line connects Changzhi City to the airport in the northeast direction. Changzhi Airport is marked with a red circle, showing that it has been occupied by the fourth group. Guancun Town near the airport is currently marked with a cross.
The specific locations of Wujiagou where the headquarters is located, the First Regiment and the Second Regiment, and the distance from Changzhi City.
Pingshun in the east of Changzhi, Gaoping in the south and the possible advancement of Japanese troops in the area are all marked.
For this section of the Handan-Changchun Highway from Changzhi to Shexian, the Tuan and Xin Tuan are arranged in a ladder-like manner, advancing layer by layer.
The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which is temporarily stationed for rest in Yetao Town in eastern Shexian County, is also clearly marked.
"Hey, Lao Xing, don't tell me, you didn't go to a regular military school, and your work ability on this map is pretty decent. Why did you hide it before?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Looking at what you said, I used to be the chief of the operations section of the division headquarters. I couldn't hold that position. Plus, after Comrade Wei Guo came, he gave me a lot of guidance!" Xing Zhiguo rolled his eyes at Zhou Weihan.
, said angrily.
"Now that we have this dynamic map of enemies and enemies, the situation around Changzhi is much clearer. From the current point of view, the effect of encircling the points and calling for reinforcements has been achieved!"
"However, there is currently no movement on the Handan-Changchun Highway. It must be that the city of Changzhi did not report the attack on the airport. This is a good situation for us! We only need to deal with the Japanese troops near Changzhi!" Xing Zhiguo continued.
.
"I guess the Japanese reinforcements from the east and west routes have already set off. It won't take long for them to fight with the troops. I want to see how many Japanese troops can be mobilized to come for reinforcements!" Zhou Weihan nodded and said.
Zhou Weihan probably beat him to death without even expecting that with his carefully planned layout, he would face Jirojiro Ikeda, a conservative little devil. The reinforcements he sent were not enough for one regiment, and the second regiment was too big to fill his teeth.
At this time, the Japanese troops pulled out from Changzhi in trucks, and a regiment of puppet troops was driven to follow them.
Since the strongholds near Changzhi were not destroyed in advance, communications between the Japanese armies remained smooth.
The Japanese troops at the strongholds on the north and south sides of the road leading to Changzhi Airport gathered towards the strongholds along the nearest road and were on standby. The strength of the Japanese reinforcements was much higher than when they set off.
At this time, the Japanese reinforcements stopped at Principal Xiao Zhangzhuang's stronghold along the road.
"Reporting to the captain, this is the Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold, which is still twenty-two miles away from the airport. As of now, there are 110 Imperial soldiers and nearly 600 Imperial Army soldiers gathered at the stronghold along the way. Only the Imperial soldiers
The total number of troops formed is 800, and the Imperial Alliance Army has about 2,300 people!" the adjutant reported to the commander Kamesaburo Kawamura.
"Younishi!" Kamesaburo Kawamura was very satisfied upon hearing this, and his anxious heart was a little relieved, and then he said: "Order the troops to advance at full speed!"
At this time, the Japanese reinforcements were less than fifteen miles away from the location of the 1st and 2nd Regiments. After the scouts who were lying in ambush saw the Japanese troops passing by, they quickly rode back on their horses and took a small road to report.
On the high ground occupied by the First Regiment, more than 2,000 members of the First Regiment were deployed here, and two heavy machine gun companies of the Second Regiment were also reinforced.
The heavy machine gun firepower alone included 45 heavy machine guns. Under a sudden attack, the Japanese army would face a death zone composed of a tight fire network.
The first battalion of the second regiment and the second battalion were used as sealing troops. After the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, they blocked the openings on the east and west sides to ensure that no enemy was allowed to escape.
The Third Battalion acted as a reserve force, guarding the small group of Japanese troops on the east side of the ambush circle.
Within the headquarters.
The phone number leading to the headquarters from a regiment's position rang.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Weihan!"
"Detachment leader, I am Jing Dagang. The scout has just reported on the enemy situation. It is reported that the Japanese reinforcements from Changzhi have arrived at the Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold. The Japanese troops number less than one brigade, carrying four Type 92 infantry guns and ten
Two heavy machine guns, and there are a lot of puppet soldiers accompanying them, at least two thousand!" Jing Dagang said on the other end of the phone.
"What, there are only these people?" Zhou Weihan was slightly surprised.
"Yes, the little devil looks down on us too much. This number of people is not enough for our first regiment, and all the commanders and fighters of the second regiment are divided into one!" Jing Dagang complained.
"It's useless for you to complain. Let me tell you, now that it's like this, we should carry out the original plan and let the soldiers keep their guard up and fight!"
"yes!"
Since the strongholds near Changzhi were not destroyed in advance, communications between the Japanese armies remained smooth.
The Japanese troops at the strongholds on the north and south sides of the road leading to Changzhi Airport gathered towards the strongholds along the nearest road and were on standby. The strength of the Japanese reinforcements was much higher than when they set off.
