The dark night passed imperceptibly, the sun rose in the east, and the surroundings began to brighten.

Sun Weiguo, who learned of the damage of various units, did not rest all night, and he was discussing the next battle plan of the troops with Qin Xianliang and Wang Kunyao.

The Japanese 1st Brigade has begun to enter the area covered by heavy artillery, which means that the troops of the Eighth Route Army will have to pay heavy casualties if they want to encircle and annihilate them.

Sun Weiguo wanted to eat the idea of the first brigade of the melee, but let the various departments pay heavy casualties, Sun Weiguo would definitely not do such an exchange.

The sun shone through the window in the house, and the somewhat tired Sun Weiguo couldn't help yawning, and the guard Xiao Wang came to the house with three egg noodles.

"Brigade commander, deputy chief of staff, staff officer Wang, rest for a while and eat something." Xiao Wang said softly.

Egg noodles may not be a good thing after a few decades, but at this time, egg noodles are the most delicious thing, even if the landlord is rich, he may not be able to eat it every day.

Smelling the fragrance of egg noodles, Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed slightly, and Xiao Wang lowered his head nervously.

"Brigade Commander, now is the time when you need physical strength, you should eat a little bit." Qin Xianliang said in a round.

Sun Weiguo nodded, he also knew that if he didn't add some food, he might not be able to hold on.

After quickly solving a bowl of egg noodles, Sun Weiguo clenched his right hand into a fist, and he hit it heavily on Lijiazhuang Town, Xiyang County.

"First kill the Japanese heavy artillery here, and then find a way to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in the first melee." Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.

It was now daytime, and the Japanese heavy artillery was able to show off its might, and the troops of the 1st and 2nd battle groups temporarily withdrew to the starting point and assembled on standby.

Sun Weiguo did not give them any combat orders, and now as long as the troops enter the range of heavy artillery fire, the troops will pay a lot of casualties, so that there are no valuable casualties, Sun Weiguo can avoid them.

After making up his mind to defeat the Japanese heavy artillery in Lijiazhuang Town, Xiyang County, Sun Weiguo immediately took the guard Xiao Wang to Xiyang County, while Qin Xianliang and others were left in Pingding County.

Sun Weiguo wanted to personally command the troops of the 3rd Battle Group to defeat the Japanese heavy artillery units in Lijiazhuang Town, but Kunomura Momoyo quickly led his troops towards Xiyang County after dawn.

The Japanese troops can be said to be walking on the road with great force, and the devil soldiers will not have any fear of the Eighth Route Army troops in Pingding County at all, because they know that the Eighth Route Army troops will definitely not dare to act rashly.

At eight o'clock in the morning, four bombers began to come to the skies over Binh Dinh County, and since there were no bombing targets, the four bombers circled over the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Dogfight, escorting their march.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were so angry that they could not do anything in the face of Japanese planes and long-range artillery, they could only watch the devil soldiers slip away from under their noses.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of 7 April, the troops of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Battle safely withdrew to Xiyang County and made contact with the troops of the 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

With the withdrawal of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat to Xiyang County, the two brigades of the Japanese army successfully joined together.

After the Major General Brigade of the First Brigade of the Mixed Battle, Nakanomura Momoyo, withdrew to Xiyang County, he immediately went to the county seat of Xiyang County by car to meet with Naozo Nakano, the commander of the Major General Brigade of the 25th Brigade.

And Sun Weiguo, the deputy commander of the Jindong Combat Corps, also rushed to Xiyang County at this time, and he came directly to the headquarters of the third battle group.

Because the troops of the 1st Brigade of the melee were safely withdrawn to Xiyang County, an infantry brigade sent out by the commander of the 117th Wing, Gao Shujia Yizuo, also returned to Lijiazhuang Town.

Two infantry brigades, a machine gun brigade, two artillery squadrons, and a heavy artillery squadron of the 117th Wing nearly 3,000 Japanese troops began to assemble in Lijiazhuang Town, and they did not receive orders from the brigade headquarters for the time being, so they did not make any action after assembling in Lijiazhuang Town.

After learning about this situation, the expression on Sun Weiguo's face was not very good, the Japanese troops were stationed in Lijiazhuang Town, and with the lethality of the Japanese army's heavy artillery, if they rashly launched an attack on Lijiazhuang Town, the troops would definitely pay a heavy price.

"The firing range of the Japanese heavy artillery has covered us, and as long as our troops show their whereabouts, they will definitely be covered by the Japanese heavy artillery. Brigade commander, the only way for us now is to concentrate artillery fire at low levels, first suppress the Japanese heavy artillery fire, and then capture the town of Lijiazhuang in the shortest possible time. ”

Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong pointed to Lijiazhuang Town, and he made his suggestion.

Sun Weiguo stared at Lijiazhuang Town, and fell into deep thought for a while, he knew that if he wanted to deal with the Japanese troops, he had to deal with the Japanese heavy artillery.

However, it is not a simple matter to solve the Japanese heavy artillery with a range of 18 kilometers, not to mention that the Japanese heavy artillery is protected by a large number of Japanese troops.

"We don't have a lot of artillery at the moment, so it's too risky to let the artillery shoot low, and now we have so much money left, and we can't fight it all anyway. Your previous idea was very good, using small forces to intersperse and destroy the Japanese heavy artillery, we can find a suitable battle plan on this idea. ”

Sun Weiguo shook his head slightly, he rejected Zhao Lerong's proposal, now the artillery group of the new second brigade only has a dozen guns, if all these artillery pieces are exhausted, the new second brigade troops will lose the support of artillery, without artillery to assist in the battle, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Deputy Commander Sun, I suggest that all the troops of the Jindong Combat Corps be concentrated, we will carry out a feint attack head-on, and form a small group of elite troops on the flanks to carry out a surprise attack to solve the Japanese heavy artillery troops, compared to the Japanese troops in Lijiazhuang Town, I think that if we hit the Japanese heavy artillery units on Shijia Mountain now, we may have a greater chance of success."

The leader of the guerrilla detachment, Gui, who had never expressed his opinion, expressed his opinion, he looked at Sun Weiguo and said softly.

Feints with the main forces and flank raids by elite troops are many tactics on the battlefield, and this is also the tactic with the highest chance of success.

Sun Weiguo nodded, his eyes looked at the map, and fell into deep thought.

The task given to Sun Weiguo by the head of the headquarters was to contain the Japanese army for at least two days, but privately Mr. Zhu and Vice President Peng hoped that Sun Weiguo would gain something.

This time, the Japanese army had a large number of troops, and the commander had no less command ability than Sun Weiguo, so it was a difficult problem to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese troops.

IN PARTICULAR, THE TWELVE 105MM CANNONS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY MADE SUN WEIGUO VERY TROUBLED, AND THESE TWELVE CANNONS HAVE BROUGHT A LOT OF CASUALTIES TO THE TROOPS OF THE EIGHTH ROUTE ARMY.

"It was decided in this way, at all costs, to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery units first." Sun Weiguo's right hand slammed on the table, and he said in a serious tone.
