Half an hour later, Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance company, unexpectedly rushed into the headquarters and brought the information that Li Hao had always wanted.

"Commander, there are a lot of little devil scouts around our station."

"The reconnaissance company has already killed more than a dozen, and the preliminary judgment is that these devils are all following the lurking troops to find here."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "In other words, we have been exposed here." ”

"It's definitely exposed." Chen Wei replied.

Li Hao shifted his gaze to the map again, and after looking at it for a few seconds, he suddenly exclaimed: "I think I have figured out the real purpose of the more than 2,000-day puppet army five kilometers southeast of Datong." ”

"For what purpose?" He Jun hurriedly asked.

"Eat our ......," Li Hao replied, pointing to the current location of the troops on the map.

He Jun also reacted at this time: "Regiment commander, you mean that the devils eliminated by the reconnaissance company are here to target us, and after dawn, the more than 2,000-day puppet army five kilometers southeast of the city will come towards us and destroy us." ”

"There's also a plane support you forgot to mention!" Li Hao added.

"After dawn, the little devils can still send planes to attack us from the sky and cover the infantry attacking us."

He Jun's face slowly became serious, and then he wrinkled his brows and reminded: "Regiment commander, the enemy has more than 2,000 people, planes, and artillery. We have only one independent battalion, one guard company, two direct companies, a total strength of less than a thousand men, and no heavy artillery, so we are certainly not an opponent in daytime combat. ”

"I recommend moving as soon as it gets dark."

"If we wait for the dawn of the little devil planes to kill, even if we successfully transfer, the troops will suffer heavy casualties in the air raid."

Li Hao stared at the map and did not speak.

Centered on the location of the station, we searched for something little by little.

Five minutes later, he suddenly spoke: "Battalion Commander He, have the seizures brought back by the various units been brought back?" ”

He Jun replied without thinking: "The captured and captured prisoners will be handed over to the baggage troops and recruit companies to be transported to Caoziling when they are sent here." ”

"After being rescued, the light and serious injured are also being transported to Caoziling one after another."

"All those who remain here are combat units, including more than 400 people from the Hunyuan Independent Battalion, more than 500 people from the guard company, special service company, independent company, reconnaissance company, and air defense battalion."

"If there is no burden, this battle can be fought!" Li Hao replied confidently, and then a pair of eyes became hot, and he began to give orders.

"Battalion Commander He, aren't we transporting captured and wounded people to Caoziling? Here you go! ”

"Company Commander Chen Wei, from now on, your reconnaissance company will keep its eyes wide for me, keep an eye on the surroundings of the station, and never let the devil scouts get close to us for 300 meters and see the situation inside the station."

"Since the purpose of these Japanese puppet troops is us, then I will prepare an empty city plan for them here."

At the headquarters of the Japanese division in Datong City, the communications staff officer rushed in with excitement on his face.

"Sir, I found it, the reconnaissance force has found the assembly place of the garrison group's lurking troops."

"The garrison regiment has deployed a large number of reconnaissance troops there, and our reconnaissance troops have suffered heavy losses after relying on them, but they still risked their lives to find out the situation in the assembly area."

"There are more than 1,000 garrison regiments in the assembly area, and the weapons and ammunition they captured in the east and south of the city and the captured Imperial Association troops are all concentrated there, and they are being transferred to the Caoziling defense line little by little, but the main force has not moved, and the defense line is being established in the assembly area, and it seems that they intend to defend it to the death."

"Because the reconnaissance unit has suffered heavy losses, now it can only stare at the assembly area from afar."

"But they can make sure that the main force of the garrison has been building positions in the assembly area and has not left."

"Great, finally ready for revenge." The division commander shouted with a murderous face.

"Immediately inform the chief of staff of this news and tell him that the troops can leave now."

"Now there is still an hour before dawn, and after dawn, the plane can take off, and it will take more than half an hour to rush to the battlefield to cover the attack of the attacking troops to attack the garrison assembly area, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army there."

"I'm going to let the garrison lose my wife and break the troops, and eat all the troops they are lurking in Datong."

"In addition, the artillery unit was instructed to draw out a squadron of field artillery and a squadron of heavy artillery, all of which were transported by car, with enough shells, and to go out of the city after dawn to reinforce the chief of staff.

"The chief of staff is more than 20 kilometers away from the assembly place of the garrison regiment, and now he can set off and rush to the battlefield in four hours."

"At that time, aircraft support and artillery support have arrived, and the Eighth Route Army there will definitely be annihilated."

Zhou Liang, the former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, rushed in and reported with a serious face: "Regiment commander, we have contacted the second and third battalions. ”

"They have arrived at the assembly site on time, and there are already cavalry companies that have achieved results."

"Report of the 2nd Battalion: The 3rd Company of Cavalry joined them at the assembly area and sent them 563 prisoners of the Jin Sui Army, as well as 3 mortars, 4 heavy machine guns, 15 light machine guns, and more than 650 rifles, most of the weapons were equipped by the prisoners themselves, and a small number were captured from the devils."

"The report of the third battalion: The second company of the cavalry battalion handed over to them 685 prisoners at the assembly area fifteen minutes ago, and also handed over six mules and horses, one mountain gun, four mortars, three heavy machine guns, 17 light machine guns, 798 rifles, more than 200 shells, and nearly 40,000 rounds of ammunition."

A smile flashed directly on Li Hao's serious face.

Only then did the two cavalry companies achieve such great results, and they sent out four companies by themselves, and now there was still an hour before dawn, as long as they grasped the opportunity, they would definitely have a lot to do.

Thinking about it, Li Hao seemed to have seen the picture of the troops returning to the base area with thousands of prisoners, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

With a long breath, he ordered: "Send a telegram back to the two battalion commanders: "We must send more scouts to ensure the safety of the assembly area." ”

"The prisoners of war and captures handed over to them by the cavalry were all dispersed into the nearby woods to hide and prevent the exposed targets from being bombed by aircraft."

"As soon as it gets dark, send people to send the prisoners and captures to Cao Ziling, and the chief of staff will be there to pick them up."

"In addition, each main battalion must ensure that it has a fully reinforced company in a state of mobility, ready to attack at any time, and cooperate with the cavalry troops to destroy the enemy."

"There are less than 2,000 garrisons left in Datong City, and there are commandos who are sabotaging in the city to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will definitely not dare to send troops outside the city."

"So their opponents are only more than 2,000 pursuing troops in the west and north of the city."

"The two main battalions plus the cavalry battalion must grasp the fighters, dodge the planes and kill and injure a large number of enemies while dodging the planes."

He Jun stood next to him and was dumbfounded.

The bigger and bigger the battle, the appetite of the regiment commander became bigger and bigger, and even a little scary.

If the combat objectives of all the participating troops of the garrison regiment are achieved, the Japanese puppet army in Datong will definitely be hit hard, and they don't know how they were defeated if they are defeated.
