After the telegrapher left with the upcoming telegram, the commander immediately walked to the sand table, thought for a minute and said to himself: "I finally understand why the enemy can eliminate more than 5,000 imperial troops who reinforced Jingxing coal mines in a few hours!"

"In order to speed up the marching, the reinforcements almost all advance lightly. Except for mortars and heavy machine guns, even infantry artillery and mountain artillery are rarely carried!"

"After such a light infantry was attacked by a joint assault by the chariot and cavalry units, they would definitely not even have a chance to fight back, and they were killed on the spot!"

"If there were some infantry to cooperate with the encirclement, the reinforcements would not even have the chance to split their troops and break through!"

The Chief of Staff also had a sudden realization on his desperate face: "Master Commander, if we count this armored unit and cavalry unit, we can now figure out the problems that we couldn't figure out before."

"With the cover of the chariot troops and cavalry troops, the enemy only needs to pay a small price to wipe out the two reinforcements sent by Jingxing County. They also have the spare energy to attack Jingxing County and Jingxing Coal Mine at the same time, and divide their troops to raid the reinforcements we just sent!"

"What a cruel Eighth Route Army, they actually got one after another, and thought of such a powerful trick to deal with us!"

The commander suddenly shook his head: "No, this battle was not led by the Eighth Route Army!"

"From our analysis just now, the key to the enemy's victory lies in the chariot troops and cavalry troops. As far as I know, the Eighth Route Army operating in Hebei did not form a chariot troops, and even there were few cavalry troops in the established vacancies!"

"So this battle must not be led by the Eighth Route Army. Even if they are involved, with their current strength and equipment, at most they can cooperate."

"As expected, whoever the armored troops and cavalry troops who appeared on the battlefield tonight belong to is the leader of this big battle!"

"The intelligence department and the investigation force will immediately send people to the battlefield and find out the true identity of this armored force and cavalry force at all costs. No one can rest before there is any exact information. Those who violate the order will engage in military law!"

The Chief of Staff knew that this was his best opportunity to redeem his sins, so he quickly received the order: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will arrange this matter myself and will definitely not disappoint you again!"

The Chief of Staff had just walked to the door of the war room and a hurried figure rushed towards him.

"Baga..." He had been arrogant and subconsciously wanted to curse.

Seeing that the other party was a radio operator, he looked very anxious and immediately realized that something big happened on the front line.

He decisively gave up the idea of ​​personally giving orders to the intelligence department and the investigation force. After finding two staff officers to help him issue orders, he immediately returned to the war room to know whether the new news brought by the radio operator was good or bad.

Before we could even walk to the commander, we heard the radio operator’s nervous report on his face: “Hisser Commander, we received an emergency call from them before we could send out the order to retreat to the reinforcements!”

"They were besieged by an enemy's main force group about ten kilometers away from Jingxing Coal Mine. The opponent was equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars. He divided the troops into three parts when taking action, and concentrated their superior firepower to attack the Imperial Army!"

"More than half of the infantry brigade in the reinforcement unit has suffered casualties. It is relying on a small hill to defend the enemy. It lasts for two or three hours at most. Please send troops to reinforce immediately!"

The commander happened to be standing in his position. After listening to the report, he fell on the chair and was silent for half a minute before speaking: "Bageyalu! My reaction speed is fast enough, but I didn't expect it to be too late."

"The troops that reinforce the Jingxing Coal Mine are finished. Our opponents are not only strong, but also have a great appetite. They not only want to take down Jingxing Coal Mine and Jingxing County, but also want to eat all our reinforcements through the encirclement point to attack and help!"

"The Shimen garrison can no longer distribute the extra troops to reinforce them. Even if there are troops, I dare not send them. No one knows whether the enemy who ambushed them still has the strength to deal with the second wave of reinforcements we sent!"

"Immediately send the reinforcements back to the telegram and ask them to break through on their own and retreat to the stone gate!"

The radio operator received the order and left less than five minutes later. The radio operator who had been there before appeared again at the door of the war room, his expression even more nervous than before.

When he saw the commander, he reported with a serious expression: "Master Commander, we cannot contact Jingxing County. We have used both phone and radio. No matter how we call them, there will be no response!"

"A few strongholds and county towns have been sent to Jingxing County. The reinforcements have not been equipped with radio stations and cannot immediately notify them of retreat. They can only send a messenger to contact us on horseback!"

"It's over!" The commander who had just stood up collapsed on the chair again: "The enemy's appetite is bigger than we imagined. There must be many reinforcements that have been targeted. It's too late to wait for the messenger to rush over!"

"Chief of Staff, please immediately notify the aviation force to prepare for attack. At dawn, you will send planes to reinforce Jingxing Coal Mine and Jingxing County to assist in searching all the troops we reinforce Jingxing County."

"If the coal mine and county town have not fallen yet, be sure to cover the local garrison to repel the enemy's attack!"

"If the coal mine and county town have fallen, bomb two places immediately. I will let the enemy seize no matter what in these two places!"

After the second wave of reinforcements sent by Jingxing County, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the city instantly reduced to less than 1,000. However, these Japanese did not realize that the next target of the National Salvation Army would be them, so most of the Japanese soldiers in the left-behind troops still hid in the barracks and slept soundly, resulting in only one infantry squad and a company of puppet troops stationed on each wall of Jingxing County.

Although Jingxing County is not big, each wall is still more than a thousand meters long.

The more than 100 garrison troops had to separate a lot of people to patrol, and then reduce the machine gunners and grenade launchers who provided fire cover. The remaining Japanese and puppet troops could only gather twenty three-man sentry posts, and one could be arranged on average for seventy or eighty meters.

In the eyes of the reconnaissance team, it is very easy to penetrate such a blockade without any pressure.

With the help of the hook claws, dozens of team members climbed over the city wall from the sentry's vision in just half an hour and entered the county town.

Before the battle to raid the reinforcements of the Armored Battalion started, the reconnaissance team remained motionless to prevent the Japanese army from realizing that the National Salvation Army wanted to surround the site to attack the reinforcements and temporarily withdrew the reinforcements.

As soon as the raid started, they started to move.

The troops were divided into three groups, some raided the command center, some raided the arsenal, and some raided the grain warehouse.

After the Jingxing County Town was attacked, due to the serious shortage of left-behind troops, in order to support the reinforcements, the chief of staff of the brigade left-behind Jingxing sent all the available troops onto the top of the city.

The Brigade Command should be regarded as the most important military location in Jingxing City, but in order to reinforce the city, the huge command center only left one combat team to protect it.

The previous arsenal and grain warehouses were garrisoned by more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops, and now the defense forces have been sharply reduced to one combat unit.

The individual combat capability of the reconnaissance team is already stronger than that of the Japanese and has good equipment. They hide in the dark and suddenly launch an attack. With the same force, they can definitely defeat the Japanese.

After the raid began, they encountered almost no strong obstacles and easily won three targets.

When the headquarters sent a telegram to Jingxing County, the Japanese military brigade command in Jingxing City had fallen into Wang Tieshan's hands.

Deng Jinghua, deputy platoon leader of the Communications Platoon at the Front Command of the National Salvation Army, was very busy.

I just received a telegram and before I could breathe a sigh of relief, the radio signal light flashed again, and I had to put on my headphones again and cheer up to receive the new telegram.

The National Salvation Army was also too open and divided into too many troops, and many staff members were sent to the participating troops to assist in command, which resulted in a serious shortage of staff at the front enemy command. Deputy Chief of Staff Li Honghui had to assume the responsibility of communications staff and ran back and forth between Zhou Cheng and the radio station.

As soon as Deng Jinghua put on his headphones, he ran to Zhou Cheng with the translated telegram: "The regiment commander, the Armored Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion jointly sent a telegram: They successfully defeated the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops and were dividing the remaining enemies!"

Zhou Cheng's expression on his face was very calm, and there was no sign of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

He raised his telescope and looked at the siege battle two kilometers away. After ordering: "The main force of the regiment attacking the county town has been restraining himself. He has been suppressing the troops and feinting the city to attack the city. He must have been suffocated. He ordered them to close the net immediately and strive to take down Jingxing County Town within half an hour and end the battle!"

Ten minutes later, Li Honghui appeared in front of Zhou Cheng again, reporting with a happy expression: "Captain of the regiment, Captain Dong of the Punishment Guard Team sent a good news. They are besieging the reinforcements sent by Shimen to Jingxing Coal Mine to ensure that the battle ends within half an hour!"

After hearing this good news, Zhou Cheng did not hesitate for a second and ordered on the spot: "Contact the Chief of Staff immediately. Yu'er has bitten the hook, and he can close the net!"

In the north of Jingxing City, more than 800 Eighth Route Army soldiers were ambushed on the side of the road, quietly waiting for the arrival of Japanese and puppet troops.

On the pipe about two kilometers away from the pocket array, more than 300 Japanese and more than 300 puppet troops were holding torches and weapons and ammunition, and marched towards the pocket array quickly.

Although the headquarters had issued an order to withdraw troops to the stronghold they set out, the messengers who contacted them were still on the way, and it would take more than half an hour to catch up with them at the earliest.

So these Japanese and puppet troops did not realize that they were moving towards death step by step.

The Eighth Route Army ambushed the position, and the political commissar looked at the entrance of the pocket array with a worried look on his face, feeling very nervous.

If the time is pushed forward one day, the political commissar would never agree to the regiment commander's battle.

The troops were equipped at that time, and all the light machine guns were only about ten. Although there was also a heavy machine gun, there were pitiful few bullets. Unless they reached the point of life and death, they would never be used.

Such equipment level means that it is very difficult for the troops to force the Japanese to strengthen the squadron.

This is true. The biggest battle that the troops have fought since they were formed was to ambush a Japanese infantry squadron.

Although he won the battle in the end, more than 200 soldiers were injured and killed, and he actually killed 800 enemies and suffered one thousand of them.

Tonight, the troops faced not only three or four hundred opponents, but also a battalion of puppet troops, with a total force of more than 600 people, which was definitely a giant existence in the eyes of the political commissar.

If the troops were still at their previous equipment level, facing such a powerful enemy would be like seeking death.

It’s different now. With the weapons and ammunition supported by the National Salvation Army, the equipment level of the troops has increased by more than doubled instantly, the firepower level has increased by at least twice, and the ammunition is also very sufficient.

Therefore, the regiment commander did not object after he proposed the idea of ​​fighting this ambush.

But the confidence was the most important thing. As the Japanese and puppet troops got closer to the pocket formation, the political commissar began to become nervous again.

Although the improvement of equipment and ammunition has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the troops, the key to the success or failure of a battle lies in people.

The biggest battle that the soldiers under his command had fought against less than two hundred Japanese.

There were more than 300 Japanese soldiers to fight in a while. He was worried that the soldiers felt guilty after seeing so many Japanese soldiers at one time, which affected the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The Japanese and puppet troops were about to reach the bag of the ambush formation. The political commissar wanted to regret it but had no chance. He could only continue to comfort the soldiers around him, so that they could calm down and not panic...

"The regiment commander, political commissar, the Japanese and puppet troops are here..." The observation post suddenly reminded.

Two or three torches appeared at the end of the black-blank road, and then more and more, connecting them into a huge fire dragon that was nearly 300 meters long.

When the Fire Dragon walked to the bag, the regiment commander and political commissar finally saw the true strength of the Japanese and puppet troops.

It is similar to the news sent back by the reconnaissance troops. Although they have a large number of troops, they are only equipped with three mortars and three heavy machine guns. As long as the ambush battle starts, they will kill the Japanese gunners and machine gunners as soon as possible, these heavy weapons will become a pile of scrap iron that is not operated by anyone, and will not threaten the safety of the ambush troops.

The regiment commander observed and gave orders, and then repeated the previous explanation: "The heavy machine gun platoon concentrated firepower to assault the Japanese heavy machine gun squad and the mortar squad. Two heavy machine guns were used to deal with the Japanese machine gunners, and two heavy machine guns were used to deal with the Japanese gunners. After the battle started, I was very excited. Don't save bullets. You must not let the heavy machine guns and mortars brought by the Japanese join the battle!"

"As long as the heavy machine gun platoon does this, we will win more than half of this ambush!"

"The light machine gun concentrates firepower to raid the Japanese infantry in the team, so don't save me bullets."

"After the battle starts, all light and heavy machine guns use their fastest rate of fire to shoot bullets, so that they can kill more Japanese in the first round of fire raids."

"If a light machine gun can kill three Japanese soldiers, we can kill more than one team of Japanese soldiers in the first round of firepower raids. If we continue to fight, we will definitely be able to rely on our terrain advantages and firepower advantages to further damage the Japanese troops until the Japanese soldiers in the pocket formation are wiped out!"

"Riflesmen shoot freely, focusing on attacking the Japanese and puppet army officers in the pocket formation. Ordinary puppet army soldiers can capture them if they can..."

After the explanation, the Japanese and puppet army vanguard troops had already entered the pocket formation.

Although they were responsible for the task of exploring the way, in order to ensure the speed of the march, dozens of Japanese and puppet troops were reconnaissance and advancing like a flash of surprise, completely pretending to be the main force.

No ambush troops on both sides of the highway were found, and they came in.

After entering the pocket array, he walked forward less than a hundred meters and sent a safety signal to the main force behind him, which caused the main force to not be wary when he walked to the entrance of the pocket array, and he held the torch and rushed inside.

The regiment commander personally operated a crooked handle, half-squatted behind a small pile of soil, and the machine gun was mounted on the pile of soil, with a butt on his shoulder, carefully pulling the bolt, and observing the Japanese soldiers getting closer and closer on the road through the sight.

Soon, he found a squadron leader with the rank of captain and slowly pulled him into the sight.

Three guards who were inseparable from the squadron leader were also trapped in.

As long as the firepower he fires out is strong enough in a while, the four Japanese, including the squadron leader, will definitely be killed.

The regiment commander snorted coldly, slowly touched the machine gun trigger with his right index finger, ready to shoot.
