Under the protection of the guards, Liu Hua lay on the mountain beam, quietly looking at the military camp not far away. Under the reflection of the bonfire, the entire barracks was lit up by the fire. Liu Hua could lie on the mountain beam and clearly see the deployment of the army's military strength and weapon distribution. Of course, Liu Hua would not miss an opportunity to observe the military camp.

Through the telescope, Liu Hua saw what he wanted to see the most, the heavy firepower of the army, and dozens of mountain artillery pieces of various types. Maybe it's because the remaining Yue army knows that they are now short of troops, and they are afraid of being attacked by the [***] team. Therefore, all the various cannons at this time were unloaded from the car and placed in the open space in the middle of the position. And the artillerymen, they rested directly next to the artillery. Liu Hua believes that with dozens of mountain and field guns, the task of fire cover can be carried out in the shortest possible time.

Look at the barracks of the army, except for a squadron of the army around the artillery position. The rest of the barracks were all staffed by the security forces. There was a lot of commotion everywhere, the soldiers gathered in groups, fighting each other, and the security around the barracks was even more lax, although there were many machine gun bunkers built on them, and a single heavy machine gun was not in sight.

"Damn, the only thing I'm worried about now is the artillery guarded by an infantry squadron. As long as these artillery pieces are dealt with, these thousands of security troops will soon become their own prisoners like ducks..."Liu Hua couldn't help but talk to himself until Liu Hua quietly thought of a way to crack the artillery position of the Yue Army, and the surrounding guards looked at the commander who was deep in thought, and they were all quietly vigilant and watched every move around him, not daring to disturb him. This is, suddenly a horse's neighing sound reached Liu Hua's ears.

Liu Hua turned to look behind him, only to see that his mount was walking back and forth restlessly. By the way, cavalry, cavalry regiment, why did I forget about the cavalry regiment? Liu Hua patted his head violently and said. You must know that in the face of these infantry who do not have much military literacy, cavalry is the most fatal blow to them.

Thinking of this, Liu Hua smiled, "Let's go, go back to the headquarters." With that, Liu Huabian stood up and walked over to his war horse.

"Staff Officer Wang, order a few regiment commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting immediately." Before he could sit down and take a sip of water, Liu Hua impatiently asked Staff Officer Wang to notify several regiment commanders to come to the meeting.

The reason why he was so anxious was because Liu Hua knew that the time left for him by the Yue Army was very limited, although now the four main brigades of the Yue Army were being led around the hinterland of the base area by Bruce Lee. However, Liu Hua believes that Yue Jun will soon find out that this is a hoax. As long as Yue Junyi finds out that he is not pursuing the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, then he will definitely return to help in the shortest possible time... Then, when the time comes, the opportunity that you have worked so hard to create will be reduced to ashes... After a while, several regiment commanders were hurriedly called to the temporary headquarters by Staff Officer Wang. Liu Hua didn't give everyone a chance to breathe, and when he saw that all the personnel had arrived, he began to speak.

"Comrades should know the purpose of our actions against the Yamashita army in the past two days, and now our goal has been achieved. There are less than 4,500 troops left at the foot of the mountain, of which less than 500 are the Yue army. So, now is the best chance for us to send troops. I won't say more, I'll just say a few words. This battle is the first regular battle we have fought since the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, and it is also the first battle since the establishment of our rapid reaction brigade, so we want to win. , must also win. Do you have confidence, comrades..."Liu Hua said loudly.

"Yes," several people replied in unison.

"Okay, now I'll arrange the combat mission. First of all, let me introduce that our central task in this battle is a squadron left by the devil and dozens of mountain artillery, which are also the greatest threat to the soldiers. Therefore, we must solve the devil's artillery in the shortest possible time, and the devil's artillery is in the center of the enemy's position, how to approach the artillery position as quickly as possible after the battle starts, I think everyone knows that only our cavalry unit. Therefore, the task of eliminating the devil artillery and the remaining squadrons was entrusted to the artillery regiment. Commander Wang, do you have the confidence to complete this arduous task? Commander Liu Hua asked.

"Commander, don't worry, I, Wang Hua, will personally cut off the head of the squadron leader, so that these devils can be so powerful that our cavalry regiment is powerful..."

"Okay, order, the artillery regiment, with the battalion as a unit, ambush around Zhouzhuang, all the guns are aimed at the artillery positions of the army, after the battle starts, we must suppress the enemy's artillery fire at all costs, win enough time for the cavalry regiment's charge, and at the same time, provide enough fire cover for their charge..."

"Yes, resolutely complete the task...", the commander of the artillery regiment replied loudly, standing up.

"Cavalry regiment, your task is to take advantage of the darkness of the night to ambush in the open space north of Zhouzhuang, and after the artillery regiment fires, immediately launch an attack. Commander Wang, you must remember that no matter what resistance you encounter along the way, don't care, your task is to intersperse, you must intersperse with the artillery positions of the Yue army in the shortest possible time, and then destroy the Yue troops on the position...... As for the artillery of the suffocating army, if the battle to eliminate the security forces is not over, you can continue to participate in the battle. Do you have the confidence to finish..."Liu Hua's eyes fell on Wang Hu, the commander of the cavalry regiment whose eyes were shining.

"Commander, don't worry, the cavalry regiment hasn't really opened meat for a long time, and this time the cavalry regiment will definitely not let you down...."Commander Wang stood up and replied excitedly.

"Okay, Rapid Reaction Brigade...," Liu Hua shouted loudly.

"To—" The three regiment commanders stood up in unison.

"Your three regiments are hidden in the east, west, and south directions of the military camp. I have just observed the current barracks of the Japanese army, and found that their guard is very lax, so I ask you to use the cover of night as much as possible to touch the feet of the security army, and when the battle starts, give the security army a surprise attack, and quickly insert into the position of the security army, so as to reduce the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible. But..."Liu Hua changed his words, and then said, "I ask you to get as close as possible to the barracks of the security forces, which is a precondition. That is, you must ensure that you cannot be discovered by the security forces before the battle starts, this must be remembered, how about it, do you have the confidence to complete this task...."Liu Hua looked at the three regiment commanders who stood up and said.

"Guarantee the completion of the mission, commander, you can rest assured, the rapid reaction brigade will definitely not disgrace you..."

"Okay, now the meeting is adjourned, after the meeting, everyone will split up, and the time for the battle to start is tentatively set in two hours, so everyone must hurry up and prepare. When the time comes, I will use my signal flare as the time to launch an attack, and when I see the signal flare, all the troops involved in the attack will have to delay under any pretext, and they must immediately participate in the battle...."Liu Hua ordered, "Yes, commander..."

In this way, within ten minutes of the adjournment, the entire garrison was mobilized, and each unit rushed to its attack position under the leadership of its own commander. The artillery regiments, under the leadership of their respective battalion and company commanders, also searched for positions and assembled various cannons that had been disassembled into parts....The whole unit, like a war machine, began to slowly operate.

At the same time, Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of this battle, was not idle. Liu Hua made it easier to command and had a more direct understanding of the situation on the battlefield, so he took his personal guards to the place where he had just stayed very early.

Through the binoculars, Liu Hua once again saw the military camp in front of him. At this time, the barracks have hardly changed from just now. The only change is that there are much fewer troops involved in patrols. You must know that it is the second half of the night, which is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy, and it is very good that those security forces who do not have much military literacy can hold on until now.

Since the soldiers of the Rapid Reaction Brigade have conducted covert training specifically for their surnames, it is a breeze for them to quietly touch the noses of those security forces who have no military qualities. So, just after an hour, the three regiment commanders sent a telegram saying "all is safe".

Of course, the cavalry regiment was more troublesome. In order not to alarm the security forces hundreds of meters away, the soldiers struggled with their brains. They found a large amount of cotton cloth, tied it to the horses' hooves, and put the horses' mouths in cages to prevent them from neighing... In this way, a soldier led the war horse and quietly came to the place where he set off. soothed the already nervous war horse.

"Commander, commander..." Suddenly, Liu Hua, who was observing the situation of the army, heard a shout behind him. Turning around, he saw that the staff officer Wang he had brought was quietly crawling towards him.

"Counselor Wang, is there any emergency?" Liu Hua and his gang asked.

"Uh, no. Commander, all such regiments are now all ready, please tell me the specific time of the attack..."Staff Officer Wang said with a laugh.

"Okay, order all regiments to hide and wait, wait for a few minutes..."Liu Hua replied, continuing to stare at the military camp of the army not far away.

Slowly, Liu Hua found that the artillery positions of the Yue army also slowly fell into tranquility. Perhaps because the army felt that it was now the second half of the night and nothing would happen, even the patrolmen ended their patrols, hid in tents and began to rest. Liu Hua knew that now could be said to be the best time to attack.

"Counselor Wang, prepare to send a signal..."Liu Hua ordered to Counselor Wang behind him.
