The captain was silent, and sneak attacks were indeed the weakness of the Imperial Army.

They have poor combat effectiveness, low morale, and low individual combat capabilities. They rely on commanders on the battlefield. They will be in chaos when attacked and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. They will be defeated by their opponents and cannot even organize favorable counterattacks.

If the Japanese defended the position, even if a small number of national-saviors entered the position, they could fight on their own and quickly eliminate the sneak attack troops entering the position without giving them a chance to make trouble.

However, the main force of this defensive battle was the Imperial Army, and it was basically the Imperial Army that was ahead. The only thing the subordinates could do was to make the Imperial Army more vigilant and send more people to patrol, so as to minimize the chance of the national rescue army attacking the positions.

The first squadron did this. Not only did it pull a large amount of barbed wire in front of the position, but it also arranged a large number of troops to patrol on duty, and almost all the defenses that could be done.

Under such a severe situation, the National Salvation Army still has a way to touch the nose of the Imperial Army and launch a sudden attack, so it would not be blamed for the squadron leader in front of him.

He frowned and ordered: "You reorganize the troops that have been removed from the front line immediately and be ready to participate in the battle at any time."

"The National Salvation Army has taken down your position. I don't expect it will take long to reach here. We must be ready for battle immediately. We must not make the same mistake again."

"In order to prevent the recurrence of the same trick of the National Salvation Army from attacking the positions again. From now on, the artillery troops fired a flare every five minutes, and the combat troops' eyes widened. I stared at the front of the positions, and even a mouse could not be placed near our positions."

"I think the defensive positions ahead are thrown so quickly, and I think it is also a very important reason for the defensive forces to be too dispersed."

"If the main forces of the troops were concentrated in the first main trench at that time, even if the National Salvation Army had entered the trench, they could use their military strength to quickly kill them, and would not give the National Salvation Army a chance to continue to intersperse back!"

"After learning from one's mistakes, I decided that we should concentrate all the main combat troops in the first two main trenches, the artillery troops guard the last trenches, and provide artillery cover to the combat troops at any time."

"A regiment of Imperial Army guards a trench and fills it with my superiority of force. No gap can be left at all, and there will be no opportunity for the national rescue army to take advantage of it."

"After the troops in the first trench could not stand it, they immediately gave up their positions and retreated to the third trench under the cover of the second trench defense force to continue defending. The two regiments alternately covered and fought until all six main trenches were occupied..."

Less than half an hour after the order was issued, several national rescue troops appeared in front of the defensive position.

At the beginning, there were only some vanguard reconnaissance troops approaching positions from all directions based on squads and platoons, hoping to test out the defensive firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The brigade leader led his troops to guard here to consume the strength of the national rescue army, not to stop them.

Faced with a tentative attack, he had no idea of ​​retaining his strength at all.

As long as the National Salvation Army rushes to the range of the progressive machine gun, hello with a bullet immediately.

Before the war started, he had done everything. He killed five soldiers of the National Savior Army with a machine gun and completed his mission. If he was not bombed, it would be considered as over-completed.

Therefore, the squadron leader was not worried about the loss of the light machine gun. He would explode if it exploded. As long as he killed enough troops to save the country, he would be fine without losing money.

After ten minutes of sporadic firefights between the two sides, the main force of the National Salvation Army finally appeared.

With the help of the flares, the captain clearly saw the every move of the National Salvation Army hundreds of meters away.

The captain was very glad that judging from the ongoing actions of the National Salvation Army, they should have to attack themselves.

In his plan, as long as the National Rescue Army does not need to make plans and does not attack sneak attacks, he is absolutely sure that the National Rescue Army will suffer more than 2,000 casualties.

The worry and tension on his face were slowly replaced by confidence, and his eyes were kept staring at the National Salvation Army, waiting for them to take action...

In Shouyang County, the Japanese army transferred a corps leader to command more than 7,000 Imperial Army and more than 2,000 Japanese in Shouyang.

He was also awakened by his subordinates in his sleep, and then he learned that the National Salvation Army had begun to attack Shouyang tonight.

For him, the battle in front of him was both a crisis and an opportunity.

If the plan to counterattack the National Salvation Army was not successful, as the commander, he would definitely bear unshirkable responsibilities. If he was not lucky, he would be able to die here in battle.

The National Salvation Army is too strong and very cunning. It is full of combat methods. Several regiment commanders and a brigade commander have already been trapped in their hands, losing their lives, and not much more than himself.

This is a crisis in the eyes of the United Captain.

The opportunity is simple. Use this battle in front of you to severely damage or kill the National Savior Army that repeatedly defeated the Imperial Army, and avenge the previous shame of the Shanxi garrison...

If you can win this military merit, the most direct benefit is to get promoted and make money.

Otherwise, with his qualifications and background, it would take at least seven or eight years of hard work to be promoted from captain of the Colonel to commander of the brigade of major general.

With the military achievements of destroying the national rescue army, I can save myself in these eight years and let myself climb to a higher position.

In order to realize this dream, the captain of the regiment who was sleepy when he woke up instantly became energetic. He walked quickly to the combat sand table and pointed to the largest defensive position in the east of the city. "Call the defensive troops here. As long as they kill 1,500 national rescue troops, the defensive troops will immediately give up their positions and retreat to the county town. We will continue to consume the remaining troops of the national rescue troops here."

"Contact the counterattack troops lurking in the mountains of the north of the city. The National Salvation Army began to attack, but they were on standby to attack at any time."

"The National Salvation Army will attack outside the city, and the troops will take action immediately and move behind them secretly. After the siege battle begins, launch an attack from their backs, attack all the National Salvation Army entering Shouyang, and strive to wipe them out of the city!"

After issuing the order, lay out the pocket array, and the team leader returned to his own position to wait for news.

As a qualified commander, he not only needs to become a good chess player, but also trust his subordinates and do not give orders or interfere with his subordinates' command.

He had all these qualities and requirements, but the times and luck were not with him.

The artillery fire of the Shouyang Independent Regiment was too fierce, and the cavalry troops raided quickly. In addition, the Independent Regiment's reconnaissance forces cut off the telephone line leading to the front line in advance.

The corps leader still doesn't know that more than a thousand people confronting the Eighth Route Army on the edge of the defense zone have been killed.

I don't know that a cavalry came into his defense area, and they were killing towards the defensive position they had high hopes for.

On the mountain road five kilometers south of the city, a cavalry of more than 300 people was marching forward.

In order to hide himself temporarily, when the cavalry troops were still seven or eight kilometers away from Shouyang City, Tao Yongsheng ordered everyone to slow down and change from a horse to a trot.

This not only reduces the movement caused by the cavalry marching, but also allows the war horses that have run 10 or 20 kilometers to rest and prepare for a while of attack.

"Report to the company commander, the front is very safe. Without Japanese and puppet troops, we can reach the battlefield by marching for up to fifteen kilometers..." A cavalry platoon leader ran back from the front of the team to report.

Tao Yongsheng immediately ordered: "The troops kept moving forward at a speed and started to accelerate after walking three kilometers forward. At that time, the troops had been more than seven kilometers across the county. No matter how fast we ran, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city could not hear the sound of horse hooves. Let's fight for half an hour to fight to the battlefield."

On the main battlefield six or seven kilometers east of Shouyang City, when the Japanese brigade commander observed the National Salvation Army, Zhou Cheng was also observing them.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Tan Wei suddenly ran over, looking both excited and nervous: "Captain, the artillery troops are ready!"

"I brought six field cannons, six mountain cannons, six large caliber mortars from Shouyang, two mountain cannons, two infantry cannons, and 12 small caliber mortars from the garrison and the first battalion, all of them are ready to fire!"

After hearing this, Zhou Cheng did not answer the conversation immediately. He glanced at his watch before speaking: "As agreed, the cavalry will have twenty minutes to reach the battlefield."

"You fire the artillery in twenty-five minutes, and then the infantry and cavalry attack together. There are still ten minutes to prepare for the cavalry!"

At the Japanese and puppet army command center a few hundred meters away, the calm expression on the Japanese captain's face gradually became anxious as time passed.

The main force of the National Salvation Army rushed to the front of the position half an hour ago. Although it took time to arrange artillery positions, it didn't take so long.

If the National Salvation Army really wants to capture Shouyang, it will definitely seize the last few hours before dawn and fight against time.

Otherwise, after dawn, they would have to beware of planes attacking them from the sky.

So under normal circumstances, the National Salvation Army must launch an attack when it is ready, take down its own positions as quickly as possible, and then attack the county town.

But now half an hour has passed, and they have no intention of attacking at all...

There must be monsters if abnormalities occur. The captain feels that the National Rescue Army has planned any plans.

We have continuously ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the National Savior Army from attacking. We have also sent many troops to investigate the two wings of the positions to prevent the National Savior Army from circumventing and encircling.

As a result, all of these troops returned without success.

Therefore, the more Zhou Cheng did not launch an attack, the more anxious the captain was, the more he thought the National Rescue Army was planning something...

The frown became deeper and deeper, and when he was so anxious that he was about to curse, a sharp scream suddenly sounded above his head.

"Yoxi, the National Salvation Army has finally started attacking... Everyone is ready to fight and defend against artillery attacks first..." Faced with the long-lost attack, the captain was not only not nervous, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

The screaming sound is very harsh and dense, indicating that the opponent fires a lot of artillery.

The more powerful the attack artillery fire, the more it means that the national rescue army wants to take down the position through a strong attack.

The captain is most afraid of being a strong attack, and he even looks forward to their strong attack on the position.

Now that the National Salvation Army's actions are at the center of their hearts, how could it be unhappy?
