First replenish each main battalion with a hundred! Li Hao thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Captives are different from local troops, although they are not weak in combat, they can participate in the battle by replenishing troops. However, the training methods of the two armies are different, and the combat methods are certainly different. ”

"Coupled with the reason of identity, the captive soldiers are definitely not as quickly integrated into the army as the local troops."

"If there is too much replenishment at one time, it will definitely affect the overall combat effectiveness of the troops, which is counterproductive."

"A hundred people is just right, and an average of three veterans with a captive soldier should be able to quickly integrate into the army and form combat effectiveness."

"Chief of Staff, you immediately conduct a simple assessment of all the captured soldiers, pick out the best five hundred people in the middle, and directly replenish the troops."

"The others sent it to the political commissar and asked Deputy Head Luo to take the training."

After speaking, Li Hao continued to ask: "Did I let the fake news released by the army wear out?" The key to the success of our action plan is whether these fake news can be believed by the little devils in Laiyuan City. ”

Hong Linfeng hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, the news has been sent." ”

At least ten captives were artificially released by us during the day today, and the reconnaissance platoons of each battalion were watching, except for three people who slipped away, all the others entered Laiyuan City. ”

"In order to atone for their crimes, they will definitely report these news to the little devil as soon as possible."

"Very good......" Li Hao's eyes quickly shot out two rays of fine light, and then replied.

"Now that the bait has been released, it's time for the little devil to take the bait. The next thing we need to do is to open a big net and swallow the Japanese puppet army that took the bait. ”

"Guard, inform the heavy artillery battalion Yuan Qingfeng to come to the headquarters immediately, as well as the reconnaissance company commander Chen Wei and the cavalry battalion commander Zhou Wu, come over together."

The headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Laiyuan City was obviously relieved when he learned that the garrison regiment that attacked him outside the city had withdrawn.

What I lack most now is time.

The retreat of the garrison regiment means that Laiyuan City can hold for at least one more day.

As long as the main force that captured Datong was ready to send troops and attack the garrison regiment from the direction of Datong, the danger of Laiyuan would be lifted.

However, the tense nerves of the brigade commander were not completely relaxed.

The garrison is too cunning, and it is not sure when it will kill a horse pistol and take itself by surprise.

Thinking of this, the brigade commander decisively ordered: "The troops continue to strengthen their vigilance, the infantry brigades continue to renovate the street fighting fortifications, I want to turn the entire Laiyuan City into a battlefield, how many people the garrison regiment kills, how many people we destroy." ”

"The reconnaissance troops will immediately leave the city to ensure that there is no main force of the garrison within ten kilometers of Laiyuan City."

At six o'clock in the evening, the brigade commander, who had been inspecting the fortifications all afternoon, was just about to eat, when the deputy chief of staff rushed in in a hurry, with a smile on his face, as if he had won a battle.

"General, we know the news of the garrison!"

"Several prisoners escaped from the garrison this afternoon, and they brought back the exact news of the garrison."

"Although we suffered heavy losses last night, the casualties of the garrison regiment were also very large, and the losses of the attacking troops were more than two-thirds."

"There were more than 1,000 corpses carried back alone, and hundreds of seriously wounded who were unable to march, with a total loss of more than 1,500 people."

"The losses of intensifying the attack on Lingqiu and ambushing our reinforcements, there are less than fifteen hundred people left in the entire garrison regiment, and the real combat force is estimated to be less than a thousand.

"A battalion of the main force was beaten to the point of only one infantry company."

"In order to make up for the loss of troops, the garrison regiment recruited more than a thousand new recruits directly from among the prisoners to replenish the troops."

The brigade commander's expression was unwavering, and in the face of this good news, there was not the slightest smile on his face.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, after thinking for a minute, he asked: "Is it possible that this is a fake news released by the garrison regiment, deliberately confusing us, and when we relaxed our vigilance, they suddenly attacked and caught us off guard." ”

The deputy chief of staff replied with great certainty: "It's all true, general, I dare to vouch for my own head." ”

"I interrogated the Imperial Allies who escaped separately, and it was impossible for them to collude in advance and report the same information to us."

"Also, the corpses of the soldiers killed in the garrison regiment, the light and serious wounded, were all carried back by them personally, and each of them made a military order with me, and they were responsible for what they said, it must be no problem."

"In addition, I asked the Imperial Cooperative Army in the city to check these people who fled back, they are all sincere supporters of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, and it is impossible to deceive us."

The brigade commander's calm face finally had a trace of expression fluctuation.

Ordered the troops to continue to renovate the street fighting fortifications, and personally inspected the street fighting fortifications in the afternoon...... All of this is done to defend Laiyuan City.

If the garrison regiment really suffered heavy casualties and lost its offensive ability, it did not need to attack with the main force, and the danger of Laiyuan would be lifted.

Staring at the deputy chief of staff, he continued to ask, "Send someone to find out about this matter immediately." ”

"I don't want to listen to the captives' reports, I want unmistakable and true information."

At eight o'clock the next morning, the deputy chief of staff again visited the brigade commander's headquarters.

"General, the reconnaissance force reports that the garrison regiment has replenished the troops of the Imperial Allied Army that has just been captured."

"At least half of the soldiers on the training ground are wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Army, and they are undergoing run-in training."

"Also, last night, a large number of cavalry troops appeared around Laiyuan City, and many of our scouts were killed."

"On the road from Laiyuan to Lingqiu, there is the Eighth Route Army to prevent the people from building fortifications under the cover of night."

"After daybreak, all these fortifications were hidden."

The brigade commander frowned and asked, "Have there been any Imperial Allies prisoners who have escaped from the garrison?" ”

"Yes...... But ......," the deputy chief of staff hesitated and continued.

"When they entered the city, they were killed by the cavalry troops of the garrison regiment blocked outside the city, and none of them entered Laiyuan City alive."

"The reconnaissance troops can't enter and exit through the city gate, they all climb over the city wall from a few hidden locations to enter and exit Laiyuan City."

"Judging by the humble judgment, the garrison must have known that there were captives who brought their news into Laiyuan City."

"In order to avoid further information leakage, cavalry was sent to search for these escaped captives and prevent them from entering the city."

"The reason why we built fortifications on the road from Laiyuan to Lingqiu must be because we are worried that we will attack Lingqiu City and reoccupy their base camp after we know their true situation."

After two full minutes of silence, the brigade commander finally chose to believe.

"It seems that the garrison regiment really has no offensive ability, and the danger of Laiyuan has finally been lifted."

The deputy chief of staff immediately proposed with an eager expression: "General, since there are only more than 1,000 people left in the garrison regiment, should we take advantage of the victory to pursue, kill Laiyuan City, destroy them all first, and then attack Lingqiu and reoccupy their base camp." ”

"Yaga! Haven't you suffered enough from the garrison? The brigade commander scolded.

"Although the garrison regiment suffered heavy casualties, it only lost the ability to attack Laiyuan City, not its combat effectiveness."

"If you go out of the city rashly, you will be caught off guard by them."
