Chapter 581: A Gift to Shuozhou City
Although Liao Fan is not afraid of leaving so many stains in history, the common people are the weakness of the new 33rd Army, and after they capture Datong, this place can be managed by them.
If this matter is not handled well, it will be difficult for the New 33rd Army to gain a foothold in Datong.
"Brother Fan, what should I do next?"
Huang Changsheng knew that this matter was a bit tricky, if they attacked Datong regardless of the lives of the people, even if the battle was won, someone would definitely make a fuss about it. At present, the common people of all China are staring at the New 33rd Army, a unit that has risen halfway, and once there is a little unfavorable opinion in public opinion, the people of all China will soon drown the New 33rd Army with spittle.
"We've come this far, we can't stop!"
In order to recover Datong, the New 33rd Army prepared so many troops and sacrificed so many soldiers that it is impossible to say that it will stop when it stops. If Liao Fan orders to stop now, he will be happy to be a little devil.
"Changsheng, there are still 800 people in the special operations brigade, let them all sneak into the city, and do everything possible to rescue the people first! In addition, I am giving you a battalion of soldiers, from the front of bypassing Datong, rush to the north of Datong as quickly as possible, if there are no civilians in the north of the city, you will attack first and storm the north gate of Datong! ”
Since the troops could not be stopped, Liao Fan had no choice but to adjust the combat deployment and rescue the people as much as possible.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
Some of the soldiers of the special operations brigade have already entered Datong City, and in addition to conducting intelligence reconnaissance on the movements of the little devils, they also have to protect the important infrastructure in the city to prevent them from being blown up by the little devils. These machines can't be built in China now, so they can only be snatched from the hands of the little devils.
Judging from the intelligence, the little devil has already captured thousands of ordinary people and arranged them on the city wall, obviously it is no longer possible to attack from the front, Liao Fan can only arrange for Huang Changsheng to make a detour behind Datong and think of other ways.
On the periphery of Yujing, the little devil has already given up the breakout, because judging from the effect of the breakthrough last night, the breakout is just for the soldiers to be sent to death in vain, and there is not much effect at all.
"Your Excellency, Commander, would you like to have a bite to eat?"
Since last night, the commander of the little devil has not dripped, at first because he was excited to get rid of the Chinese army, he did not have time to drink water and eat, and now because the troops are in danger, he can't eat.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you can eat something first, our fortifications have been arranged!"
The commander of the little devils remained silent, he knew very well in his heart that these fortifications were only a comforting effect, because the Chinese army surrounding them had no intention of attacking them, and the purpose of the new 33rd Army was to surround them and then trap them.
"How many days will our food and water last?" The commander of the little devil asked.
"The water can last for a day at most, and the food can last for two days at most, and we have arranged for the soldiers to find a water source!"
"Arrange for the fighters to dig wells on the spot! The food was collected, and everyone rationed it every day, telling the warriors that we would leave alive! ”
Leave alive? I'm afraid that he himself doesn't believe this sentence, and when the time comes, some fighters can't help but starve, and they just commit suicide. Moreover, the New 33rd Army personally picked a good place for them, how could there be sufficient water sources, and the only way to solve the problem of water sources was to dig wells.
And Li Weimin looked at the Japanese army in the encirclement with a telescope, at this time he was very calm in his heart, now Shanyin County has been taken by them, during the day, they got supplies from Shanyin County, food, it can be said that there is no need to worry at all, and they have enough troops now, and the rest is to slowly rely on time with the little devils.
At this time, the only one who was sad among the four divisions of the new 33rd Army was Ma Wanzhong, although Ma Wanzhong hid part of his strength, but Ma Wanzhong also underestimated the combat effectiveness of the little devil.
The Japanese army from Hebei had been fighting steadily on the first day of the attack, and Ma Wanzhong thought that it would take about three or four days to wait for the big army of little devils to arrive at the city of Jingcheng. However, from today onwards, the little devil went against the norm and marched forward with great triumph, and the vanguard of the Japanese army completely ignored the large troops, and attacked all the way directly, and by noon they were already under the city.
The little devil's sudden normalcy made Ma Wanzhong scramble.
It turned out that the commander of the Japanese army in Shanxi told the Hebei side the news that Datong was about to be lost, and asked the Hebei troops to put pressure on Taihang Mountain from behind.
When the Hebei side learned that Datong was about to be lost, they were not worried about Shanxi, on the contrary, they were worried that once the New 33rd Army took Datong and the troops returned to help, they would never have a chance to take Jingcheng again.
As a result, the Japanese army on the Hebei side began to intensify the attack, and the vanguard of the Japanese army carved several lines of defense against Ma Wanzhong, and soon it was less than twenty miles away from Jingcheng City.
"Fuck, what are you doing, little devil! Is bullying our division a soft persimmon? ”
Ma Wanzhong was very angry and dismissed three company commanders in a row, because they did not receive the order to retreat, so they scattered and withdrew from the defense line, and Ma Wanzhong did not shoot them, which was polite enough.
"Order Commander Song and let him lead the troops to destroy this group of little devils for me!"
Ma Wanzhong was very angry, the little devil completely ignored their defenses, and he was still alone, how could Ma Wanzhong let the little devil fight all the way so comfortably.
However, the lone advance of the Japanese army was only a decoy, and the large army of the Japanese army did not follow behind this lone army, but already wanted to surround it. Obviously, Ma Wanzhong didn't know the little devil's plan.
From the northeast and southeast, two wings of the Japanese army launched a pincer offensive against Jingcheng.
The pincer offensive is very easy to crack, as long as one wing of the Japanese army is defeated or blocked, then the pincer offensive of the little devil will not work. However, the progress of the Japanese army in the Jingcheng area was comparable to the speed of the gods, and Ma Wanzhong was not given time to react and deploy the army at all.
Just when Liao Fan led his troops to confront the Datong little devils, the Japanese army had already surrounded Jingcheng.
Ma Wanzhong's face was gloomy in the headquarters, and the others in the headquarters didn't dare to say a word. Although they were able to support themselves in the well, they were surrounded, and it was always a little unpleasant to hear this out.
Although only Ma Wanzhong's division was trapped in the encirclement of the Japanese army, there was only one regiment and one battalion, but Ma Wanzhong was still unhappy, that is, with this little devil, why should they surround them, and where did the little devil have the courage to surround them.
The commander of the Japanese army in Hebei thought about it and understood that my two wings and one brigade were the vanguard of surrounding you, and they could not defeat the strength of one regiment and one battalion of yours.
After learning that the Japanese army was surrounded, the other units of Ma Wanzhong's division immediately moved closer to the Jingcheng area and prepared to open up the road to the Jingcheng area.
However, in order to attack Jingcheng, of course, it is impossible for the little devils to prepare only two wings of troops, and the follow-up troops have successively arrived at the periphery of the Jingcheng area and began to move closer to Jingcheng City, just to prevent the Chinese troops from other places from attacking them.
In Datong, after Liao Fan arrived with his troops, on the periphery of Datong City, the troops did not encounter any resistance and directly arrived outside the south gate of Datong City.
However, Liao Fan never launched an attack, because the city walls of Datong were densely packed with ordinary people, and there was no little devil at all. Liao Fan knew very well that the little devil was willing to hide under the city wall, as long as their troops took another step towards Datong, then there would inevitably be people on the city wall who would fall.
This is not the city gate where Liao Fan is located, there are ordinary people in several other city gates in Datong, and Huang Changsheng and his troops can only stare at the north city gate, and they can't do anything.
However, the soldiers of the special operations brigade have a way to enter the city, after all, the little devils only have 400 troops in their hands, and the Datong city wall is so long, it is impossible for them to arrange people to keep an eye on every place, so the soldiers of the special operations brigade climbed the city wall and entered Datong.
Liao Fan has been rushing to Datong City with his troops for more than two hours, and he has also shouted to Datong City, but the command officer of the little devils in Datong City has refused to show his face from beginning to end, and he is not willing to negotiate with Liao Fan.
Because the commander of the little devil has already received news from the commander that the troops in the Hebei direction have launched an attack on Taihang Mountain, as long as they can delay for a while, the new 33rd Army will inevitably take the initiative to retreat.
The Japanese army in Shanxi already knew that the ultimate goal of the New 33rd Army was Datong, not Shuozhou. This can be done The Japanese commander in Shuozhou City is very faceless. The information that the New 33rd Army's attack target was Shuozhou was transmitted by him, and now it has become Datong, which is tantamount to providing false information, and he has to bear the responsibility for disrupting the deployment of troops.
The little devil commander of Shuozhou stood on the city wall and looked at the Chinese army outside the city, feeling disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
But he couldn't do anything to the Cunqi outside the city, because their troops couldn't drive away or defeat the troops brought by Cunqi, and he could only watch.
After receiving Liao Fan's news, Cun Qi was very calm, because they thought that it was finally done this time, and as for what to do next, it was completely up to him to improvise.
Now Cun Qi can take the troops to Shanyin for repair, and it is okay to storm Shuozhou, all depending on Cun Qi's mood.
"Chief of Staff, what are we going to do now?" A regimental commander asked Cunqi.
"Wait until it's dark, and after it gets dark, let's prepare a gift for the little devil?"
"Dark? Gift? ”
The regiment commander looked at Cun Qi incomprehensibly, could it be that after dark, they were going to storm Shuozhou City?
Cun Qi just smiled softly, didn't explain anything, and then lay down in his temporary headquarters to get ready for sleep.
