"Report to Brigade Commander, Headquarters Order"

"read"

"Order Zhai Lequan to be the commander-in-chief of Jilin Defense and unified command of the overall situation of the battle, Zhou Baosheng and Zhang Yihu as the deputy commander-in-chief..."

"The headquarters appointed me as the commander-in-chief?" Zhai Lequan was shocked, his eyes full of excitement, and he was a little unbelievable.

"Hehe, Commander-in-Chief Zhai" Xia Shangzhi said with a smile

"Old Xia, don't joke. In terms of qualifications and abilities, why am I the commander-in-chief?" Zhai Lequan was still surprised.

"This must be what President Lu means," Xia Shangzhi analyzed, "The two brigade commanders Zhou and Zhang are not familiar with the specific situation in Jilin. It is inappropriate for them to serve as commanders. Although you are not as experienced as them, you are the direct commander of the Jilin Defense War and know the situation best. It is natural that this battle is left to you to command."

"Old Xia, after you analyzed this, it really makes sense." Zhai Lequan said

"Our Eastern General has only asked about ability. Qualification may be useful in politics. In the military, if seniority is used, it will be a disaster." Xia Shangzhi said

"I occupy the landlord's light, otherwise it might not be my turn to do the position of the commander-in-chief. Zhou and Zhang have better experience and abilities than me..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this, but I'd like to think about how to fight this battle."

"Yes, Lao Xia, look, we have six regiments on hand now. The first regiment is at the forefront and the most casualties are the second, followed by Chaoyang Gate, which is guarded by the third regiment..."

"Old Zhai, I think our battle is a battle of life and death. Since it is a battle that determines life and death, we cannot leave any strength. All the power is pressed up and given the most violent and fatal blow to the Japanese army." Xia Shangzhi said

"Old Xia, your idea is consistent with me. Not only will our main force be taken, but our soldiers should also see blood. This is good for them..."

The Baihu Temple in the west of the city is the temporary command of Zhou Baosheng's Cavalry Brigade. At the foot of the mountain is nearly 5,000 ready-to-run army.

Most of the Japanese army had already attacked the city, and there were not many left-behind troops outside the city. This White Tiger Temple was also a commanding height, but after nightfall, it was captured by Zhousheng and led people to attack. The Japanese army did not find any abnormalities in their White Tiger Temple.

"Telecommunication from Lao Zhou's headquarters"

"Order Zhai Lequan to be the commander-in-chief of the battle..." Zhou Baosheng slowly read with the red candlelight of the thick ox legs in the temple.

"Boy Le Quan has become the commander-in-chief"

"Don't envy, this commander-in-chief has been really done. This time we are here to cooperate with others to fight and listen to their commands. We must have the credit for it." Zhou Baosheng cursed with a smile.

"Ask Commander Zhai, when will we start fighting?" Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang Yifei smiled at the communications consultant and said with a smile.

"Well, this is what it should be"

"According to our intelligence, the Japanese army should have a cavalry brigade, but we have not yet discovered the location of this cavalry brigade."

"Oh, ask if Lao Zhang is in his direction?" Zhou Baosheng frowned slightly.

He may not be very concerned about other Japanese troops, but the Japanese brigade, which is also a cavalry, is the enemy that his cavalry brigade will destroy first.

He also wanted to see what shortcomings are there between the cavalry brigade and the Japanese cavalry? Where is the difference?

"Commander General Zhai ordered us to launch an attack on the Japanese army on time at 7 o'clock."

"Reply to Commander Zhai, the Cavalry Brigade will definitely launch an attack on time at 7 o'clock," Zhou Baosheng said seriously

"yes"

"The Japanese cavalry brigade is gone, so we must be hiding in a place we can't see. There are a large forest here, let alone a brigade, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it is not easy to find it, let alone it is dark now," Zhang Yifei said worriedly.

"You mean, the Japanese are likely to hide the cavalry brigade and use it as a mobile force?" Zhou Baosheng said

"The cavalry is not good at siegeing the city. Besides, a siege of Japanese soldiers has only more than 500 people. Compared with the Japanese troops siegeing the city, there are not many more than 500 people. It may not be possible to lose these 500 people. If I were the commander of the Japanese, this cavalry brigade would be better to hide it and serve as a reserve team to deal with sudden battles." Zhang Yifei analyzed.

"Your analysis is very reasonable. The Japanese do not trust the surrendered Fu Dianchen and others. They will inevitably leave a reserve team to deal with emergencies, so this cavalry is likely to be deployed in the south."

"Reported, Brigade Commander Zhang called and no trace of the cavalry was found."

"Hey, this is strange. Where did the Japanese cavalry brigade go?" Zhou Baosheng and Zhang Yifei looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Can the Japanese have any conspiracy?" said the regiment commander Lin Tieshan.

"Tell Commander Zhai about this situation and let him pay attention. Although it is just a cavalry brigade and there are not many people, if an accident occurs at a certain stage, it is very likely to lead to unpredictable consequences." Zhou Baosheng said

"In addition, we will increase the intensity of reconnaissance and send more reconnaissance teams. We must find this Japanese cavalry brigade."

"yes"

After receiving the orders from the headquarters and Zhai Lequan, Zhang Yihu ordered the troops to unfold their formation and quietly pounced towards the target in the darkness of the night.

The Japanese controlled the railway bridges and highway bridges on the Songhua River. The first thing they wanted to break through was the railway bridges on the Songhua River.

They can't enter Jilin without taking down the railway bridge

Zhai Lequan had already made preparations in advance to arrange a lurking guide team for Zhang Yihu.

More than ten boats

Although the direct reconnaissance company of the brigade department of the 1st Brigade cannot compare with the direct team, the training requirements are 70% of the direct team, and the combat effectiveness is very strong. This time, he took on the heavy responsibility of crossing the river to capture the railway bridge bridge, attacked forward and backward, and captured the railway bridge, paving the way for the large army to enter Jilin City.

This time, the Japanese army almost did not use the puppet army. First, it was because they were afraid that the puppet army would leak information, and second, the puppet army's combat effectiveness was really not good. Don't help me at that time, and it would also drag you down.

Therefore, although the Japanese attacking troops had more than 12,000 people, he actually scored a considerable number of troops to defend the key positions that had been attacked, such as stations, railway bridges, etc.

These places are the key to traffic, and the other is also an important strategic support point. After all, the Japanese army is now the attacking side. If the enemy only focuses on attack and attacks, wouldn’t they have no defense capabilities?

The defense of the railway bridge was a Japanese army with a squadron; more than 200 people were equipped with heavy firepower equipment such as heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.

The Japanese army lost a lot of money to occupy this place. With such an important position, how could the Jilin Guard Brigade of the East Column be easily given to the Japanese army?

From the morning to the end, the defenders evacuated when they were out of ammunition and food. When the troops of a company were evacuated, only eleven people were killed in the battle. In the end, only one third squad leader whose arm was broken was left was left.

After the Japanese army occupied this place, they just sorted it out for a little while and formed the current defensive position.

After the lack of search equipment, the Japanese army also patrols and dare not walk too far, only four or five hundred meters away. After this distance, they can't see or hear anything.

Although the Japanese army also arranged some patrol ships on the river, the ships were too small. For safety, at least three ships were dispatched at one time.

The river is dark, and it is quite good that the distance between the flashlight can be illuminated ten meters.

"Company Commander Wei, the Japanese patrol ship has just passed. They will arrive at least twenty minutes later on the next trip. We just need to hurry up and reach the other side, no problem."

"Okay, there's not much time left, don't talk nonsense, brothers, hurry up and get on the boat." Company Commander Wei waved his hand, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company quickly boarded more than ten small boats hidden in the reed marsh on the shore, with seven or eight people on each boat, plus a local guide at the helm

The boat quickly sailed out of the reed marsh and headed towards the opposite shore at a very fast speed.

It was already dark almost a day. The Japanese patrol ship had just turned back and probably wouldn't find their existence

Half of the soldiers are alert, and half of the soldiers help row together. The already light fishing boat is heading towards the opposite shore like an arrow.

Company Commander Wei received an order to launch an attack on time at 7 o'clock. Now he must race against time, otherwise he will miss the military opportunity.

"Hurry, hurry up, leave two people to watch, and the rest will help you draw." Corps Wei ordered anxiously, and while lying down, his arm was stretched into the cold river water and struck hard.

The soldiers behind him naturally followed suit, and the fleet's speed suddenly accelerated a lot. The moon and stars in the sky were covered by dark clouds, and the river surface was as dark as ink. Apart from the gurgling sound of water, there was almost no sound heard.

Eight minutes later, the fleet had already passed through Jiangxin one after another, and the time was soon

The sound of the small motor of the Japanese patrol boat sounded, and Company Commander Wei couldn't help but look up. A motorboat was driving over on the water surface less than one kilometer away from the fleet. At this time, can there be other ships on the river besides the Japanese ships?

"Shake quickly, ahead, prepare for battle." Company Commander Wei made a quick decision to issue an order to prepare for battle. If it is inevitable, then he will only fight.

It's close...

Company Commander Wei took a look at the distance. Although the Japanese motorboats were traveling against the current, they were twice as fast as their small boats.

"Huh"

At this moment, the motor sound of the motor boat suddenly stopped, and then several "harsh" sounds came

"The Japanese's motor is broken." Company Commander Wei was ecstatic. This was God's help. He immediately ordered to paddle to the shore.

The fleet rushed into the shore without any danger, reconnaissance Lian Xun landed on the shore, and then rushed to the target.

It was less than five minutes before the attack was launched at seven o'clock

Five minutes, about two kilometers away, this is a big test for the reconnaissance company, who is not familiar with the road conditions at night, that is, they have no time to breathe and feel that they have to start a battle.

Dada dada...

In the command center, except for the sound of the old pendulum clock hanging on the wall, the sound of gunfire outside seemed to be blocked by something.

When the second hand kept moving towards seven o'clock, everyone stopped what was in their hands and stared at it without blinking.

"Start" the second hand and minute hand reach the "twelve" position at the same time, and Zhai Lequan decisively and forcefully issued a counterattack order.

Whoosh...

There were dense explosions immediately heard in many places in Jilin City, followed by a loud shout of killing.

Not only in the city, but also in the west, and in the south of the city, there was a dense sound of cannons. The shells dragged the orange-red flames and burst into a beautiful arc in the sky.

"What's going on? Where's the cannon?" Song Buzhiliang was shocked. How could there be shells coming from behind him?

"The report division commander, you call from behind us, in the direction of the Baihu Temple..." A communications consultant hurriedly ran in and reported,

"What's going on? Is there no artillery position in the direction of the White Tiger Temple?" Heihe Zhenzang said with confusion on his face.

"boom"

A shell fell from the sky and exploded in the yard of the Japanese command headquarters. The huge destructive power generated by the explosion caused half of the house to collapse.

"Baga, how could there be shells hit the command center? What does Colonel Ozawa do for food..." Song Buzhiliang rushed out of the command center and cursed at the people around him.
To be continued...
