"Now that we have cleared the remnants of the Japanese army on the periphery, we are now left with the Japanese army in Yutai County, this Japanese army, according to our estimates, should still have more than 1,000 people......"

The headquarters of the new 38th Division was located in a temple on the outskirts of the city, and although it disturbed the tranquility of the temple, the monks in the temple did not have any dissatisfaction, and they even welcomed Luo Yufeng and them very much.

On the night of their arrival in Yutai, the Japanese army passed by this temple and snatched the Buddha bone relics that had been preserved in the temple for hundreds of years.

Therefore, the monks hope to recover the Buddha bone relics and re-enshrine them in the main hall.

Everywhere the Japanese army went, they robbed, killed, and did all kinds of evil, and one day they didn't do bad things, the military discipline was strict, and they didn't commit any crimes against the people, that was terrible.

On the wall of the side hall, there is a map of Yutai County, the blue arrow is the new 38th Division, the red is naturally the Japanese army, and now the blue arrows on it all point to one place.

That is Yutai County, Guting Town, a small county town with a radius of less than three kilometers.

"Li Dong, what is the current situation of the Japanese army's weapons, ammunition and food supply?"

"According to our reconnaissance and analysis, the Japanese army has sufficient ammunition at present, but the heavy weapons have been completely lost in our fierce artillery bombardment in the previous stage, and there is no shortage of food.

"It seems that unless we continue to increase the intensity of artillery bombardment, it will be difficult for us to break into the city in a short time, and we must deal with this Japanese army as soon as possible in order to help the 1st Division of Honor deal with the old devil Kenji Dohihara." Luo Yufeng said solemnly.

"But the Japanese army's defensive front is very tight, and there are certain city fortifications as cover, Li Hanzhang's 74th Division in order to hold Yutai, the city fortifications in Yutai City have been reinforced, and anti-artillery fortifications and machine gun bunkers have been built, and now they have become the biggest obstacle to our attack on Yutai!" Qin Yankun explained.

"Is there a map of the street fortifications in Yutai County?"

"Li Dong!"

"Here!"

"Is there a map of the street fortifications in Yutai County?"

"Yes, after surrounding Yutai, we contacted Li Hanzhang, the commander of the 74th Division, and after they left Yutai, they did not take the defense map with them, but they redrew a new one for us with their memory."

"Where's the figure?"

"Here." Soon, a street defense map in Yutai County was found, although it cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate, but it is better than nothing.

"Judging from this map of the street fortifications in the city, Division Commander Li is still concerned about the defense of Yutai, you see, this street is the main road from north to south, he has arranged two crossfire points here and here, and can control four streets in front and back, left and right, if there are no heavy weapons, even if our troops rush up, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy casualties......

"Old Luo, it looks like we're in trouble."

"Can you send a reconnaissance team into the city to find out what's going on?"

"I'm afraid not, ours has surrounded the county, even the people in the city are probably hiding at home and dare not come out, once a fresh face appears, it will definitely be detected, and if we have a chance to get in, we will already attack it."

"Master, I think there seems to be something wrong with this picture." Ding Zijun, an operational staff officer, suddenly said with a 'huh'.

"What's the problem?" Everyone stared at the picture on the table, and no one saw the problem, but this Xiaoding saw the problem, could it be that the eyes of so many people were not as good as you?

"Shizuo, this location, I remember it is a reed, Yutai County is different from the city we encountered, he does not have a traditional moat, a river passes through the county, Yutai such a county seat, built on a flat terrain, and there are many rivers in the territory, criss-crossed, militarily speaking, such a city is not suitable for holding, Division Commander Li is an old soldier, will not understand this truth, so, although he tried his best to build fortifications, but the main goal is definitely not to defend to the death, but to block or delay the enemy's attack, I estimated that Division Commander Li must have reserved a passage for retreat or breakthrough. ”

"Secret Passage?"

"It's not necessarily a secret passage, it's a place that we don't easily find, but it's easy to ignore, this place is only known to people who are familiar with the geography here, and my feeling is that this is a reed."

"Hao Yunlai, go and invite someone from the guerrillas who is familiar with the terrain of the county."

"Yes!"

After a while, a lean man in a short fight came in from outside, with a shiny box cannon pinned to his waist.

"This is Captain Fan of the guerrillas, a native of Yutai, and he is very familiar with the situation inside and outside the county."

"Captain Fan, I'm sorry for you, you can help us see this picture." Qin Yankun stepped forward and greeted.

"Yes, Chief of Staff Qin." For Fan Yuanpu, Qin Yankun had known for a long time, and the guerrillas also participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army's Banxi team in the past three days, and undertook the important task of guidance.

Fan Yuanpu stepped forward, and under the illumination of the gasoline lamp, he stretched out his hand and carefully observed the picture little by little.

"There should be a reed swing here, about two hundred meters or so......," Finally, Fan Yuanpu raised his head and said in exactly the same direction as Ding Zijun's finger just now.

"Isn't it marked on the map?"

"No, such important terrain should be marked, so I think it's weird." Fan Yuanpu said suspiciously.

"Is there anything special about this reed?"

"You can enter the city directly from this reed, but not during the day, it must be about one or two o'clock after midnight, when the water level will rise to its highest, and only in this season." Fan Yuanpu explained.

"Could this be the secret door left by the 74th Division?"

"Secret door?" Fan Yuanpu didn't quite understand.

"Captain Fan, can you sneak into the city from this reed swing without being discovered?" Operational staff officer Ding Zijun asked.

"The reeds used to be the Yutai Detention Center."

"Detention center?"

The 74th Division was to leave a way for itself, but it would never be too obvious to make it clear at a glance that, on the surface, this should be a very well-defended place.

The detention center has courtyard walls and relatively strong defensive measures, but because of this reed, it is not easy to break through from this side.

In the case of an attack, it is also more difficult, because there must be a deep mud under the reed beach, and it is very difficult for soldiers and tanks to move, and once they fall into the mud, they become a living target.

"This is not a breakthrough for attack, but it is relatively easy for defense, only a small number of troops are stationed in the detention center, and cross-fire points are formed on both sides to block most of the enemy."

"But it's not easy to get from here, right?"

"We have a small boat for lotus picking, which can move fast on the silt, and if there is a certain amount of water, it will be faster, and there is no sound." Fan Yuanpu explained.

"Is there such a ship?"

"Yes!"

"Great!" Luo Yufeng's eyes burst out with a ray of fine light.

"But this kind of boat can only carry about two people at most, and it is difficult to drive, so it is ......"

"If you are looking for this kind of ship now, how many can you find?"

"If the people who mobilized us searched in the nearby villages, they should be able to find twenty or thirty, and if there are more, I dare not say anything." Fan Yuanpu thought for a moment and said.

"Twenty or thirty, that's too little." Luo Yufeng listened and frowned slightly.

"Lao Luo, I think twenty or thirty have passed, and the reeds are not big, there are too many boats, and the movement is too big." Qin Yankun reminded.

Luo Yufeng nodded, and immediately said: "Captain Fan, I have to work hard for you to collect this kind of lotus picking boat, the more the better, and the boatmen who drive the boat also need to be fast, can you do it?" ”

"Commander Luo, are you really planning to attack the Japanese army from the direction of the Reedang Detention Center?" Fan Yuanpu asked excitedly.

"Whether the plan can be made depends on whether you can collect enough boats, and if you can't get to the detention center silently, it will be too risky." Luo Yufeng said.

"Please rest assured, Master Luo, I will definitely be able to find the boat for you, and there is no problem with the boatmen, the guerrillas under my command have the ability to drive this kind of small boat, and it is guaranteed to be fast and silent."

"Okay, you can hurry down and get ready."

"Master Luo, can we participate in the operation?" Fan Yuanpu asked hopefully.

Luo Yufeng thought for a moment and nodded, if it was ordinary people, it would be fine if they could send people, but if it was an anti-Japanese guerrilla, it would be different, they themselves have a certain combat effectiveness, and at the critical moment, there is one more person and one more strength.

"Thank you, Master Luo, I'll go back and prepare!"

"Go, call me Tu Man." Luo Yufeng ordered the guards.

"Lao Luo, Tu Man has an impulsive personality, so it is more appropriate to hand over such a secret task to Cao Xingyang." Qin Yankun hurriedly reminded.

"Now the commander of the reconnaissance battalion is Tu Man, and Cao Xingyang is just his deputy, so it is not appropriate to let Cao Xingyang go." Luo Yufeng shook his head and said.

"Then let them both go."

"Well, this is a way, from the reconnaissance to extract 30 capable and strong generals, from the reeds to the past, occupy the detention center, we can cut the Japanese army in the city into two parts in one fell swoop, divide and annihilate, not only can reduce casualties, but also shorten the time, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Luo Yufeng stared at the map and said.

"Report our idea to Lao Leng and see what he thinks?"

"Yes, you can."

Yuncheng, the headquarters of the first division of honor.

"Division Commander Luo sent a telegram that they wanted to launch a night attack on the Japanese army in the city through the loopholes in the city defense of Yutai County, so as to achieve the goal of annihilating the Japanese army in the county in one fell swoop."

"What do you say about the loopholes in the fortifications of the city?"

"They got the fortifications inside and outside the city of Li Hanzhang's 74th Division when they were deployed in Yutai, and found that Li Hanzhang quietly left a way for himself to retreat, this retreat is very secret, ordinary people can't find it, they also think it's strange, and they asked the local guerrillas to figure out what is going on, so they want to use this loophole to sneak attack the Japanese army and annihilate the Banxi troops."

"Call Li Hanzhang and ask him to reply truthfully immediately!" Leng Feng ordered.

"Yes!"
