"Good! According to the results of today's investigation, we can know that the Japanese army mainly set up a large number of fortifications at the east gate and the south gate. Their main energy is mainly in these two directions. However, there was a Japanese infantry regiment blocking the west gate of the town. In addition, there was also a heavy artillery regiment deployed southwest of Niutang Town.
My original plan was to break through the east gate and retreat from Jintan County. However, the Japanese army has placed a regiment of soldiers in the town of wrinkled area. Once we retreat according to the previous plan, we will face the scene of heavy artillery bombardment. When the Japanese troops from the east and south come again, we will really die here.
This time, I chose to break out from the east gate. With the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions as the vanguard, we will be the first to break out from the east gate and disrupt the formation of the Japanese 11th Division. Then, the main force behind us will break out. With a continuous offensive, we must break out of the encirclement within an hour.
Then, he immediately turned around and charged towards Zhenjiang. If I'm not wrong, the Japanese army won't have any troops in Zhenjiang. Their main force is now under Nanjing. As long as we take Zhenjiang, the initiative of the war will be in our hands. Of course, the prerequisite is that we have to be fast.
If we are slow and the Japanese reinforce Zhenjiang in advance, we will face the danger of being eaten!”
Yan Wenbin's move was very dangerous. If anything went wrong, there was a possibility that the entire army would be wiped out. However, if they were fast enough and the troops displayed their combat strength, they would not be in such a passive situation again.
"But Master, why don't we just charge out from the north gate? The north gate isn't guarded by the Japanese. Wouldn't it be better if we just charged out from the north gate? It's too dangerous for us to charge out from the east gate!”
At this moment, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, Chen Chengye, looked at Yan Wenbin and said.
"Use your brain, kid. The Japanese did not send troops outside the north gate, but that doesn't mean they don't have scouts here.”
When Yan Wenbin said this, he raised his head and looked at them. He pointed at the north gate and said,"Look, outside the north gate is a flat land. It's only ten kilometers away from the Yangtze River. It's a narrow and long area. If we come out from the north gate, what will happen if the Japanese scouts find us?
The Japanese cavalry regiment will definitely press forward. At that time, the Japanese at the south gate will also pass through the city. At that time, we will be blocked by the river. That's why we need to kill our way out from the east gate and draw the Japanese's forces and energy here. Then, they would quickly break through their formation with lightning speed, and then the main force would suddenly turn west.
Even if they want to chase us now, their formation will be disrupted and they will need to reorganize their forces before they can chase us. This is the best time for us to retreat. As for the Japanese troops outside the South Gate, we will need our troops to hold them off.”
Yan Wenbin turned to look at the commander of the ninth battalion, Gu Haizheng, and the commander of the tenth battalion, Zhao Yangzhou, and said,"Now, I have an important task for your two infantry battalions. After we launch an attack on the Japanese troops outside the East Gate, your two battalions will use street fighting to stall the Japanese troops in the South City. In an hour, you will retreat quickly and come out from the north gate.
After exiting the north gate, you will set up a defensive position here in Xue Town. Prepare to receive us. Remember, you can only delay the Japanese for an hour. After an hour, no matter what happens, you must retreat. Otherwise, you might be surrounded in Changzhou City.”
In this situation where his side did not have the upper hand, Yan Wenbin could only choose to retreat. And the road outside the north gate was to Xuejia Town. After Xuejia Town, the Japanese cavalry would lose its power.
"Yes, sir! Don't worry, I will complete the mission!”
Gu Hai and Zhao Yangzhou said with serious expressions. They knew how heavy their mission was. Whether their troops could withdraw or not depended on their sincere cooperation this time.
Yan Wenbin stood up and looked at everyone."We have distributed the radio stations we obtained last night to all the battalions. All the battalions have been equipped with radio stations. If there is any situation in the future, you must contact us through the radio stations immediately. We can't lose tonight, and there's no reason for us to lose.”
....................
After the missions were distributed, the battalions began to move. Yan Wenbin also brought his current division command center and began to move.
Now the Japanese army was on high alert. It seemed that the Japanese commander was also preventing the Sichuan army from breaking out tonight. Otherwise, there would not be such a strict alert.
"Looks like the Japanese were prepared. However, their defenses were still the same. It seems that the Japanese army is only preventing us from breaking out, but they don't think we can successfully break out.”
Yan Wenbin put down the binoculars and said softly.
"Indeed, but if we want to break through the Japanese defense, we still have to pay a certain price.”
"How can there be no deaths in war? It was already 1:20 pm, so they could start moving! If we don't act now, we won't have enough time!”
After Yan Wenbin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and more than 60 soldiers quietly began to crawl on the ground, crawling toward the Japanese army's position on the opposite side. They were a suicide squad organized by Yan Wenbin. They needed to quietly approach the Japanese army's position, then take care of the Japanese soldiers in a section of the position, and persist until the arrival of reinforcements.
In this way, the price they had to pay to break through the Japanese positions would be much lower, and the speed would be much faster.
As time passed, these 60 soldiers began to approach the Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese position was quiet. Most of the soldiers were asleep, leaving only a small number of soldiers on guard. However, these soldiers seemed very vigilant.
"1st Battalion, prepare to attack!"
Yan Wenbin saw that the commando team was about to reach the Japanese position and immediately whispered.
Chen Chengye's 1st Battalion was ready to attack at any moment.
"Da ~"
"Da ~"
.....
When the first gunshot sounded, the entire Japanese camp began to boil. More than 60 commando soldiers quickly jumped into the trenches of the Japanese army. The AK47 automatic rifles in their hands continuously fired at the Japanese soldiers in the trenches. Whether the Japanese were awake or asleep, they were all killed.
