13th Division Headquarters
"Regiment Commander, the 65th Regiment has sent a message. We have been attacked by the Chinese army in Yanggong Town. Currently engaged in battle!"
A telegram was placed in front of Dizhou Libing.
"Eight ~ Caw ~ How many soldiers does Zhou Weiguo have now? Didn't they say that he only had seven to eight thousand people?”
Dizhou Libing was very angry. The development of the matter had actually changed again. An army had actually appeared in Yanggong Town.
"We're not sure either! However, I guess that it's very likely that it's reinforcements from China's 5th Battle Area, because after crossing the Huai River, Huainan is under the jurisdiction of the 5th Battle Area!”
The chief of staff of the Dizhou Army said.
"The fifth battle area?"
Dizhou Libing's face quickly darkened.
"Order the 104th Regiment and 116th Regiment to attack immediately. At the same time, send a signal to the 9th Regiment to inform them that there is a change in plan.”
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
The attack had begun. After the order was given, the 9th and 13th divisions attacked Changfeng County and Caoan Town respectively.
The 1st Regiment in Changfeng County had been stabilizing their position and did not retreat.
On the other hand, Chang Debiao, who was in Cao 'an Town, followed Zhou Weiguo's orders. After defending for a while, he pretended that he was no match and began to retreat in a hurry.
In order to make it look more realistic, Chang Debiao even threw down some ammunition and pretended to retreat in a panic.
When the second regiment retreated, the Japanese naturally wanted to chase after them. However, they encountered a minefield halfway. In the end, the second regiment successfully retreated. The Japanese only continued to chase after the minefield was cleared.
At two o'clock in the morning on the 20th, which was also two o'clock in the morning that night, Yanggong Town was in full swing.
"Regiment Commander, we have been fighting for more than two hours. Should we let the 2nd and 3rd Battalions attack?”
A staff officer next to Sun Liren looked at the battle in front of him and asked Sun Liren.
"En! It was almost time. He had to generate electricity for the 2nd and 3rd battalions so that they could immediately attack and devour this group of Japanese. Now that they had fought more than two Japanese, their attention had been drawn to the front line!”
Sun Liren also looked up. He felt that it was about time.
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, in the temporary command post of the Japanese, the commander of the 65th Regiment, Nishikawa Hirano, was squinting at the battle in front of him.
His regiment command center was built on a small hill and was piled up with sandbags. It was very simple and crude. After all, time was tight, and there was not enough time to build a real field command center.
"Your Excellency, the first brigade's attack has failed again. Now, the 2nd squadron had retreated!”
The chief of staff of Nishikawa Hirano said from behind him.
"The firepower of this Chinese army is very strong! It's a pity that we didn't bring any field cannons or Type 92 infantry cannons. Otherwise, we could have used artillery to support them!”
Nishikawa Hirano walked back to the hanging map and said with some regret.
"Your Excellency! Just now, the Regiment Commander sent us a message, telling us to quickly take down the Chinese army's position. Right now, the Regiment Commander has successfully taken down Cao 'an Town and is currently pursuing the enemy!”
"En! Immediately send a message to the 1st Battalion to stop attacking and let the 3rd Battalion take over. Tell the 3rd Battalion that they must take down the Chinese army in one fell swoop!”
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
Just as the chief of staff was about to pass on Nishikawa Hirano's order, they suddenly heard gunshots coming from their left flank and behind them. Accompanied by the gunshots were the explosions of 75mm field artillery.
"What happened?"
A bad feeling suddenly welled up in Nishikawa Hirano's heart as he shouted loudly.
Soon, an advisor ran out.
After a while, a soldier ran into the command post and shouted,""Your Excellency! Behind us and on our left flank, large groups of Chinese soldiers appeared. Each of them had over a thousand soldiers!”
"Thousands of people? Ba ~ ga ~ what a cunning Chinese! The battle order was canceled and the 3rd and 2nd battalions were ordered to stop them. The 1st battalions were ordered to continue attacking. They had to push all their troops forward and destroy the Chinese army's position in one go!”
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
Nishikawa Hirano was too naive. If Sun Liren had prepared all the things for the whole night and his order could solve the problem, then Sun Liren would be too incompetent.
When the 2nd and 3rd battalions attacked, the first side also started to counterattack.
The field artillery unit continued to fire artillery shells at the Japanese army. At the same time, some mortars were also firing flares, making the Japanese army appear under the eyes of the 3rd Regiment.
The Japanese soldiers from the second and third battalions were completely dumbfounded.
They did not expect the Chinese army to appear behind them and on their left flank. They also did not expect the Chinese army to lie in ambush for so long.
It was night time, and it was a winter night, yet they had been lying in ambush for so long.
Before this, their attention had been focused on the front line.
This time, he was caught off guard.
The result of being caught off guard was that the Japanese army kept retreating.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers fell.
"Haha! The Japanese had lost! They would never have thought that we would be lying in ambush here for so long!”
Sun Liren looked at the retreating Japanese army in front of him and knew that he had won. This time, not only did Sun Liren complete Zhou Weiguo's order, but he might also take down a Japanese team.
The Japanese did not expect that the Chinese army was not here to stop them, but to eat them up. They had been lying in ambush for hours.
.......
2:30 AM, 13th Division headquarters.
At this moment, the gloomy mood of the past two days had been swept away from Dizhou Libing, because Cao An Town, which had blocked them for a day, had been taken down.
The frontline troops called. Other than encountering the minefield, everything else was going very smoothly. Moreover, the frontline troops had also found a batch of ammunition in Cao An Town. Although they could not use this batch of ammunition, Dizhou Li Bing had obtained a piece of information from it.、
That was, his night attack had completely caught the Chinese army off guard. Based on his understanding of the Chinese army, they would definitely take all the ammunition with them. If they left behind a batch of ammunition, it meant that they had left in a hurry and had no time to bring that batch of ammunition.
However, just as he was in a good mood, a telegram from the 65th Regiment broke his good mood.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:042020185:17PM
