Mr. Lin straightened his military uniform, looked left and right, and said, "Are the comrades of the Lu'an County Brigade here?" ”

"Here, Mr. Lin, Yang Zhiwei, the captain of the Lu'an County Brigade, reports to you." A man with a broad waist and round shoulders stepped forward in front of Mr. Lin.

Yang Zhiwei is dressed as a common man, with two box cannons stuck in his waist, and the only thing that can explain his identity is probably that he wears a military hat of the Eighth Route Army on his head, the Eighth Route Army is not only short of weapons and ammunition, but also in short supply of clothing.

Mr. Lin stretched out his right hand and held Yang Zhiwei's hand tightly, "Captain Yang, I've caused you trouble this time." ”

"Mr. Lin, look at what you said, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we have finally looked forward to you, we have long not wanted to be driven by little devils every day, and now that you are here, we have the confidence, where can we say trouble."

"Hehe, Captain Yang, then I'm not welcome, now the situation is urgent, we must do our best to take Lu'an, and introduce the information you have obtained, right?"

"Okay!" Yang Zhiwei readily agreed, squatted on the ground, picked up a stone, and drew it on the ground: "According to the information we obtained, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army from Hefei is stationed in Lu'an City, but the troops only have two dissatisfied wings of about 5,000 people, and a puppet army division of about 6,000 people, and the strength is mainly distributed in the north and west of the city, especially along the Wei River, which is simply five steps, one post, three steps and one sentry, among them"

Yang Zhiwei chattered about the situation in Lu'an, judging from the information he obtained, the Japanese army had already taken precautions, and it was even entirely possible that they had already learned the purpose of the 115th Division, otherwise the Japanese army would not have deployed so many troops in this rear area, and the entire northwest front line was exactly where the Eighth Route Army was located, and it was also the direction of the attack, and things would not be so coincidental.

Mr. Lin's brows unconsciously wrinkled into the Sichuan character, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army has two brigades, each brigade has two regiments, and there is an independent regiment at the division headquarters, the original quota was 15,000 people, but from behind the enemy, the strength is already less than 10,000, and another regiment has been transferred, and the total strength here is only about 7,000 people, plus the county brigades and district teams that have been active in this area, it is about 10,000 people, and it is impossible to carry heavy siege artillery for long-distance attacks. If you want to capture the Japanese city in the case of inferior troops, the difficulty can be imagined, but Mr. Lin has also been mentally prepared and has already made corresponding disposals.

"Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the division's independent regiment, ask them how their progress is, and tell them that with the cooperation of the local guerrillas, they must play with the momentum of the main force attacking." Mr. Lin said fiercely.

The chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, Zhou, made a promise and left in a hurry. After the troops arrived at Gushi, Lin Zong had already sent a regiment of troops to copy only the old bottom of Jinzhai, they will be in the local guerrillas more than 1,000 people with the cooperation, the rear of Jinzhai suddenly launched an attack, Jinzhai has the fifth theater of the seventh army is attacking, if another force from the rear appears, the Japanese army must be panicked, must send reinforcements, and at this time the reinforcements can only be found from Lu'an, as long as the Japanese army is calculated, Lu'an's strength must be divided at least half, then the next battle will be much better, This was the tactic of "encircling the point and sending reinforcements" that the Eighth Route Army made good of.

"Map!" As soon as Chief of Staff Zhou left, Mr. Lin said again, and then a map was spread out on the ground in front of him, a snow-white flashlight light hit the map, and several regiment commanders also hurriedly surrounded him, Mr. Lin looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Brigade Commander Chen, your unit is advancing ten miles north along the Wei River, and crossing the river near Zhangzhuang here, the Japanese army is now tense and will inevitably shrink the defensive line, and this should be a safe area."

Mr. Lin said and took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and continued: "It's eight o'clock and fifteen o'clock, you have three hours and forty-five minutes to lead the troops across the river, go around to the north of Lu'an, and launch the most fierce attack on Lu'an on time at twelve o'clock, don't leave the reserves, as soon as you go up, you will attack with all your might, the comrades of the Lu'an County Brigade will cooperate with you, and they are familiar with the terrain." ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Brigade Commander Chen of the 343rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army stepped forward and replied, and then beckoned, and the two regiment commanders also immediately got up, and disappeared into the night with him quickly.

As soon as they left, Mr. Lin said: "Brigade Commander Xu, the task of your department is to attack from the front, as the main attacking force, fifteen minutes after the battle of the 343rd Brigade started, decisively launch an attack, with these fifteen minutes, the Japanese army will definitely send a part of the troops to reinforce the north, your pressure will be much less, the key battle of this battle is whether you can occupy the Weihe Bridge, there is a pillbox at the head of the bridge is your biggest threat, before the attack, send a sharp knife unit, you must touch it." ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Brigade Commander Xu of the 344th Brigade also stepped forward and replied.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Zhou came over with a happy face and reported that the Independent Regiment had launched an attack on Jinzhai fifteen minutes ago.

"It's been fifteen minutes, why hasn't this Lu'an devil moved?" Mr. Lin muttered unconsciously.

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "Lao Lin, you are too acute, it's only fifteen minutes, even if the Japanese army is reorganized, it will take about ten minutes, and then go out of the city from Lu'an, half an hour may not be enough?" ”

"Hehe, too." Mr. Lin smiled a little embarrassedly.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the scouts in front came with the news that the Japanese army had left the city, first cavalry, then motorcycles, and then dozens of troop transport trucks, followed by a large number of Japanese troops and puppet troops, with an estimated total strength of more than 5,000.

"Good!" Lin Zongjie praised, and then ordered the independent regiment to withdraw from the battlefield in two hours, let the Japanese army enter Jinzhai, and then set up a mine array ambush circle on the periphery of Jinzhai to prevent the Japanese army from returning to support Lu'an.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the headquarters of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army in Lu'an.

Division commander Anda 23 Lieutenant General is pacing back and forth in the headquarters, the safety of Jinzhai makes him uneasy, at this time Jinzhai is a life channel in the eyes of the eleventh army of the imperial army, once lost, it is simply a catastrophe for the eleventh army, although there is still a Huoshan channel, Jinzhai is lost, Lu'an will lose the last barrier, ** it will not take a day to hit Lu'an City, at this time the imperial army has emptied the entire Hubei-Henan-Anhui troops, the rear has been completely empty, and the reinforcements will take at least six or seven days to arrive, With Lu'an's current strength, can it still block the joint attack of the squadron? This is clearly unrealistic.
