On the night of December 25th, 1937,
When night fell over the entire land of China, Zhou Weiguo and the Japanese stopped fighting. But this was only temporary.
After 10 pm, the Japanese had sent a regiment of troops from Shiyuan Village to Zhuji Village. Their goal was clear: they wanted to attack the rear of the second regiment in Cao 'an Town.
However, the troops that Zhou Weiguo had mobilized were already ready.
Sun Liren's 3rd Regiment had already entered Yanggong Town and built a temporary camp there overnight. Zhang Zongling's 4th Regiment had also entered Zhangci Village. Liao Yaoxiang's 5th Regiment had also arrived at the northern part of Zhangci Village. They had received Zhou Weiguo's order to temporarily not enter Zhangci Village. Instead, they were waiting for orders in the northern part of Zhangci Village. The heavy artillery regiment led by Sun Xinpu had also left Cao 'an Town and started to retreat.
Zhou Weiguo's brigade had been transferred to Dongjiagang by car and was building a defensive position there.
Zhou Weiguo's net was already prepared, and he was just waiting for the old devil, Dizhou Libing, to come in.
At this moment, the soldiers of Dizhou were still waiting for news from the 65th regiment. He needed news that the 65th Regiment had arrived at Zhuji Village. At the same time, he needed to wait until after midnight.
This was because after midnight, most of the soldiers in the army would be asleep. He was aiming for the purpose of the surprise attack. Not many people would have thought that after such a tragic battle in the day, they would send troops to launch a sneak attack at night.
As time passed, Dizhou Libing began to look at his watch. What he didn't know was that Chang Debiao was also looking at his watch in Cao 'an Town.
Now that everything was ready for their retreat, even the minefield had been set up. It was enough to cover their retreat. As long as the Japanese attacked, they would pretend to be defeated and retreat.
At eleven o'clock at night, the Dizhou Army received news from the 65th Regiment that they had arrived at Zhuji Village and were currently advancing north of Cao 'an Town, which meant that they were going to attack Cao' an Town's rear road.
Dizhou Libing didn't say anything. He had calculated the marching speed and time. He knew that the 65th Regiment would be close to Cao 'an Town after midnight.
.............
11:40, Yanggong Town, Sun Liren's headquarters.
"Regimental commander, our scouts have sent news that there are Japanese troops advancing towards us. According to the scouts, there are about 3,000 to 4,000 people.”
A reporter stood in front of Sun Liren and said loudly.
"He's really here! And they're all from the same team!"
Sun Liren stood in front of the map and listened to the communicator.
"Have we set up our positions?”
Sun Liren stood there and asked softly. Sun Liren had specially prepared a big gift for the Japanese in Yanggong Town.
"All the troops at the front line have sent telegrams. Everything is ready. We're just waiting for the Japanese to crawl into our pockets!”
"En! Let them listen to my orders! Let's go, I'm going to the front line too!"
Sun Liren picked up a steel helmet and said as he walked.
The communicator went to generate electricity. Then, he followed Sun Liren with the radio on his back. Sun Liren's guards and regimental headquarters also followed him.
At the frontline of the Third Regiment in Yanggong Town.
Sun Liren was wearing a steel helmet and lying in the trench, surrounded by camouflage.
At this moment, teams of Japanese soldiers had already appeared in front of him. These Japanese soldiers were holding torches and were marching.
Due to the darkness of the night and the fact that the Third Regiment had done a good job of disguising themselves, the Japanese still did not know that there was an army ambushing them.
"Pass down the order. No one is allowed to shoot. Wait for the Japanese to enter a distance of 50 meters before shooting.”
Sun Liren said to a messenger beside him after looking at it.
Then, the order was quickly passed down. The Japanese's torches completely exposed them to Sun Liren.
The Japanese were now only 400 meters away from the 3rd Regiment's position, but they still didn't know that there was a pocket waiting for them.
Three hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
A hundred meters!
The distance was getting closer and closer. When they were 100 meters away, everyone had opened the safety of their weapons, and the light and heavy machine gunners were all ready, waiting for Sun Liren's order.
Fifty meters!
"Fight!"
"Da ~"
"Da ~"
With Sun Liren's order, a series of bullets suddenly flew toward the Japanese.
At a distance of 50 meters, the light and heavy machine guns of the 3rd Regiment suddenly opened fire. Then, the Field Artillery Battalion began to fire fiercely at the 200-meter distance in front of the camp. A large number of mortars and grenade launchers filled the gap between the 200-meter distance and the camp.
The sudden gunshot stunned the Japanese. They had never thought that they would be ambushed here.
This time, Sun Liren didn't leave any reserve team behind. He had prepared for the battle. This was an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack. Only by concentrating all their forces could they defeat the Japanese army in a very short time.
He had previously calculated that the Japanese had four infantry regiments in one division, and one of them had already been taken down.
Now, the Japanese had at most three regiments left. It was impossible for them to send two regiments to launch a sneak attack. They could only send one regiment, and that was the most they could do.
Sun Liren was confident that he could defeat a team!
However, the Japanese soldiers at this time were indeed very good at fighting. After being beaten up for a while, the Japanese soldiers immediately reacted. They began to shoot at the three groups from a distance of one to two hundred meters. As for the Japanese soldiers in front, they were all killed within two minutes of firing.
"Guild Leader! The Japanese began to organize their forces to attack. Did we order the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to attack? We only have one battalion here!”
A staff officer beside Sun Liren said loudly.
"No rush! Let the Japanese attack. This group of Japanese clearly did not carry any artillery. At most, they only carried mortars. Wait for them to organize another wave of troops!"
Sun Liren had his own considerations. Now that the Japanese had just reacted, they were still organizing their forces to attack. Sun Liren had to wait until they had all their attention here before ordering the 2nd and 3rd battalions to attack.
