"Well, the Japanese are indeed good at fighting positions. If it weren't for the tight time, I would have surrounded them for three days and three nights. I can guarantee that the Japanese at that time were rushing to drink urine."

"Ha ha!"

The Dragon Boat Festival talks made Shangguan Zhibiao laugh.

But, do they really have this time?

Although they are not the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone and have not received reports from various war zones, they must have been ruthless in the entire northern Jiangsu region.

Moreover, the Japanese were far more than the 10th Regiment, and the Japanese reinforcements might arrive in the next second. So Shangguan Zhibiao had said before: It is worth a concerted effort.

But Dragon Boat Festival also told him that if he had done that at that time, the troops would have suffered heavy casualties and were then repelled by the Japanese.

The reason is very simple. All troops have been fighting for a long time, especially the independent regiment of Dragon Boat Festival. Their combat time is longer than that of Wang Tong and Lu Jian’s two troops. They were prepared for the battle five days ago, and they fought from Laian County, Chuzhou to Laoyeling.

Therefore, the consequences of using such a tired army to attack the mountain can be imagined.

However, this No. 3 Highland still needs to be fought. In addition to using a telescope to investigate, the most important thing for the Dragon Boat Festival is to listen to Lao Nu’s opinions.

While other troops were still resting, the old snoring spies had already sent out several reconnaissance teams. In addition to striking westward and setting up observation posts, they also conducted reconnaissance around the entire No. 3 Highland.

Lao Nu drew a sketch and said: "Tuanzuo, although the terrain of this No. 3 Highland is not very high and the mountain is only more than 80 meters high, there is a side peak on its left and right.

This side peak is less than one hundred meters away from the main peak, and it looks like a person clenching his fist.

If we attack from the north and south, we will suffer the most. Because both side peaks can provide effective support to the main position and form cross firepower, causing heavy casualties to our army.

So my suggestion is to attack from the west side of Highland No. 3 and leave a exit to the Japanese on the east side to the mountain. If we fight hard, the Japanese will feel that they still have a way to escape.

Once they go down the mountain, we can just ambush a group of people on the road and catch the Japanese off guard and even wipe them out in the Laoyeling area."

After saying that, Lao Nu looked at the Dragon Boat Festival, looking like he was waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival to praise him.

But at this moment, the Dragon Boat Festival smiled and said, "Old snore, you analyzed it very well, but you ignored a detail."

"detail?"

Lao Nu was surprised, and Shangguan Zhibiao, Zhu Shengzhong, Lu Jian, Wang Tong and others surrounded the nearby were all puzzled, because they all felt that Lao Nu was right, using troops from the west and leaving an exit on the east side. When the Japanese were forced to do so, they would definitely choose to break out from the east side. At this time, if the ambush was set up, even if the Japanese on the mountain were not completely wiped out, they would probably encounter a devastating blow.

So everyone looked at the Dragon Boat Festival in confusion.

Dragon Boat Festival smiled slightly before saying, "It seems that not only Lao Sa ignored it, but you also ignored it. The Japanese had the opportunity to leave, but why didn't they leave, but instead stayed on the No. 3 Highland?

Lao Zhu, has your troops stopped the retreating Japanese? Lao Pang, where is your troops?"

When asked about the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhu Shengzhong and Pang Hu, the two of them said without even thinking about it: "Although we didn't suffer any losses after a fierce battle for a day and night, the Japanese did not take any advantage. But in general, the enemy and our troops were similar. If we force the Japanese to stay, there would definitely be great casualties. So the Japanese retreated, and we just chased and fought and picked up some advantages. But if we want to keep people, there would be a lot of casualties."

Dragon Boat Festival nodded and said, "That's right. We just want to kill more Japanese devils, but we can save ourselves. We do things that are cheap, but we can't do things that are at a disadvantage."

At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival first affirmed Zhu Shengzhong and Pang Hu's approach, and then said: "Old Zhu and Pang just said that the Japanese had the opportunity to withdraw. But why didn't they retreat? Do they think that a small No. 3 highland can be defended? Or, they are confident that they can fight the forces of several of our regiments?

If the Japanese were stupid, I believe they would do this. But the Japanese were not stupid. In Bengbu, I used tricks several times to trick the Kitani Chuan Chuan out of the city. But the Japanese just didn't come out.

In the end, there was no way, I was attacking Bengbu at night.

Originally, I wanted to drop the independent regiment back and use an absolute advantage to wipe out the Japanese in the city or defeat them. But you encountered the Japanese reinforcements.

The reinforcements of this Japanese were very timely. I guess, when you issued the order, I am afraid that Kitashirakawa Se was also giving the order.

So what a cunning and cautious enemy we are facing?

Moreover, his combat ideas are clear and he will never do meaningless things.

But the 10th Regiment in front of us was able to retreat but did not do so. It must be because of Kitashirakawa Shi. He wanted to use the devils on the mountain to hold us back and then make another plan for him."

"The Japanese have plans? What plans?"

Before the Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, Zhu Shengzhong couldn't wait to ask.

Dragon Boat Festival said: "I guess it was for Tang Jiujiu and our baggage troops. The Japanese should know Tang Jiujiu's identity, after all, Bengbu had been involved in Japanese spies before. As for our baggage, that was what the Japanese wanted the most.

That's why I ordered people to generate electricity to the old abacus and let him evacuate immediately. The speed on our side must also be accelerated. The battle will end within two hours."

Speaking of this, Dragon Boat Festival took out a pencil and drew two circles on Lao Su's map and said: "We attacked at the same time on the left and right positions of the No. 3 Highland, forcing the Japanese to draw troops from the main peak to reinforce the two positions on his flank. At this time, it depends on your Lao Sun. Blast the Japanese reinforcements for me. As long as the Japanese reinforcements showed up, they would bombard me with mortars, mountain cannons, rapid-fire cannons, etc.

Lao Sun, remember, don’t save shells during the first round of artillery attacks, because at this time, there are the most enemies on the mountain. Even if the shells are missed, they can still blow up the two Japanese. Do you understand?"

“Yes, the group.”

Sun Shiyu took the order, and at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival said again: "Lao Nu's Special Forces Battalion will not participate in the war this time, so I will be able to accumulate strength. The Japanese positions on the east side are led by Lao Zhu's first battalion and part of the second battalion. Lao Pang's fourth battalion serves as a reserve team. When I shout for charge, I will press my entire battalion on it.

Lao Wang and Lao Lu, you two took the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army to fight the Japanese positions on the west side. But remember, you can fight hard, but don’t fight with the Japanese. In Bengbu, there is no way. If you don’t seize the commanding heights, you can only be beaten passively in the city.
