Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "Hey! What are you saying? Even if any friendly troops are in danger, I, Yang Jing, will help me when I learned about the situation!

What's more, if my brother hadn't led the Independent Group to travel thousands of miles to rescue, my Tiger Group would have been completely wiped out by the Japanese outside Fuyang City."

After a pause, Yang Jing said again: "Besides, if you and I work together to fight the enemy, there may not be no possibility of defeating the Japanese!"

Zhou Zichen, deputy leader of the Independent Regiment, was relatively optimistic and said, "Captain, since Captain Yang has come, let alone this now.

The Japanese may launch an attack at any time, so we should welcome Captain Yang and the others into the city soon."

"That's right! Look at my brain!" Yu Zongping raised his hand and patted his head, saying, "Brother Yang, hurry up and lead his troops to the city with me!"

"Please, brother!"

"Brother Yang, please please first!"

After giving in to each other, Yang Jing and Yu Zongping joined hands to enter the city from the west gate.

The rest of the Hu Ben Group followed closely behind and entered one after another.

After entering the city, Yang Jing immediately organized a military meeting with Yu Zongping, including two regiments and officers at the battalion level and above.

Yang Jing first listened to Yu Zongping's explanation and gained a rough understanding of the deployment of Huoqiu County.

Nowadays, the field defense fortifications outside the city have all fallen into the hands of the Japanese. The Independent Regiment and the Hu Ben Regiment can only rely on the Chenghuan Fortification to resist the Japanese attack.

After Yu Zongping finished speaking, he asked, "Brother Yang, this is the situation. Now you can make arrangements.

No matter what you ask, my independent team will definitely cooperate!”

"Since you said that, brother, then I'll tell you what I think. If there are any shortcomings, brother can add it at any time!"

At this moment, Yang Jing was not polite and said, "The Japanese not only have far more troops than us, but also have aircraft and heavy artillery.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to rely on the fortifications of the city to resist their attacks. Therefore, we must be prepared to let the Japanese enter the city and fight streets with them.

When necessary, you even have to fight hand-to-hand with them!"

Everyone nodded frequently when they heard it.

Yang Jing said again: "No accident, the Japanese will launch an attack tomorrow morning.

Therefore, we must prepare early.

First, dig as many air defense fortifications as possible in the city.

These air defense fortifications should be excavated in private buildings as much as possible.

First, we can use these private buildings to resist a wave of Japanese bombings first, and secondly, we can also rely on the private buildings in the city to build side firepower!”

As he said that, Yang Jing told the construction of side attack firepower and the key to fighting street fighting again.

After hearing this, Yu Zongping, Zhou Zichen, Ye Yun and others all showed shock.

So it's possible to fight like this?

No wonder the Tiger Ben was able to win consecutive battles and kill the Japanese.

"Of course, Huoqiu County is too small after all, and we have no reinforcements; therefore, even if we are fully prepared, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the siege of the three or four divisions of the Japanese army and tens of thousands of troops.

The fall of the county town is only a matter of time sooner or later!

Therefore, we must also divide a force to dig a tunnel that leads to the outside of the city day and night!

In order to make the war unsuccessful, we can retreat quietly from the tunnel and jump out of the Japanese encirclement!”

Everyone had no objection.

Immediately, thousands of soldiers from the Independent Regiment and the Tiger Regiment immediately devoted themselves to the work of excavating air defense fortifications.

The Tiger Ben Coalition Battalion was drawn out to be responsible for excavating the tunnels leading out of the city.

Before coming, Yang Jing made plans to dig a tunnel and break through Huoqiu County and escape.

If it weren't for time and space that did not allow it, he even planned to dig a tunnel leading into the city directly from outside the city.

Therefore, before coming, Yang Jing deliberately took out the generator, hole driller, rail, and track trolley that was exploded by the Japanese.

The generator and the hole punching machine can greatly speed up the excavation of the tunnel.

The track trolley can transport the excavated soil and stones continuously from the tunnels.

...

The picture is pulled to the first line of gorge.

After dark, the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Huben Regiment followed Yang Jing's order and drove towards Huo Qiu overnight.

Then, according to Yang Jing's instructions, he lurked in a forest 20 miles west of Huoqiu County.

In order to provide cover for Yang Jing and the others to break out of the city at critical moments.

On the other hand, after reconnaissance, Yang Jing led his troops to leave the Yixing Gorge and support Huo Qiu.

The two old Japanese devils, Masaki Ito and Junroro Matsuura, have already taken the lead in the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Tiger Ben Regiment. In the afternoon of the same day, they led the main forces of the 101st Division and the 106th Division to head towards Huoqiu.

Only a small force was left, and the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Huben Regiment that were left behind in the front line.

At that time, the focus of both the enemy and us was already on Huoqiu.

Therefore, since the afternoon of that day, no more large battles broke out in Yishixia.

1 a.m.

Ito Masaki and Matsuura Junroro led the leading troops to successfully arrive outside the city of Huoqiu and joined forces with the 6th Division.

...

Japanese Joint Command.

When Ito Masahiro learned that Yang Jing had led the main force of the Hu Ben Regiment into Huoqiu County, he immediately showed a sinister smile like a fox on his face.

Junroro Matsuura, the commander of the 106th Division, said impatiently: "As long as you kill Yang Jing and destroy the main force of the Tiger Ben Group in Huoqiu City, the remaining power of the Tiger Ben Group is not worth worrying about!

That being the case, why don’t we attack immediately now?”

Ito Masaki said: "It's too late today. Since Yang Jing has led the Hu Ben Group to Huoqiu County, we don't have to hurry up!

We should first blockade, consolidate the blockade position, and not give the enemy any chance to break through.

After dawn tomorrow, we will launch an official attack!”

Junroro Matsuura obviously felt that Ito Masaki was too cautious, so he said with some confusion: "Itojun, according to reliable information, our troops are at least 10 times that of the Chinese army in the city. Why didn't we strike while the iron is hot and capture Huqiu County in one go, annihilation of the Huban Regiment and the Huqiu Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army in this small area.

Instead, we have to do this more and go through a lot of trouble to dig the blockade ditch and build a blockade position first?"

Ito Masaki said: "Now, the Hu Ben Regiment and the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment have been besieged in this corner of Huoqiu County, and they cannot escape with wings. Therefore, we are not in a hurry at all!"

Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, added: "What Ito-kun said is right! In this battle, our army is already in a sure victory!

But we not only have to win, but also achieve the greatest victory at the lowest price!

Use the Elimination of the Tiger Ben Group and Yang Jing’s Neck Head to reorganize the military power of our Great Japanese Imperial Army!”

Junroro Matsuura was very reasonable to get the analysis of Ito Masaki and Inaba Shiro, so he stopped talking more.

Therefore, tens of thousands of Japanese troops from the 101st, 6th, and 106th Divisions immediately re-divided the defense zone and imposed a more tight blockade on Huoqiu County.

It will not give the Hu Ben regiment and the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment in the city a chance to break through and escape.

...

The next day, the sky just turned bright.

The sun slowly emerged from the distant eastern horizon. Before the first ray of sunlight could spread across the earth, the Japanese army began a large-scale attack.

This time, the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in military strength, so all four directions were mainly attacks, without feints!

The first one to launch the attack was the 6th Japanese Division outside the South Gate. With the order of the division commander Shiro Inaba, about 500 Japanese soldiers immediately carried rifles, under the cover of dense firepower of their heavy machine guns, they opened the offensive formation and rushed towards the east gate.

At that time, the 1st Battalion of the Huben Regiment was guarding the east gate.

After the guard post discovered the enemy situation, it immediately ran down the city tower along the horse trail of the city, and came to the battalion command post more than 300 meters away from the city tower, and made an emergency report to the battalion commander Bi Yuntao.

After learning the news, Bi Yuntao immediately extinguished the cigarette butts in his hand, took the guard out, and ran to the city tower.

After climbing the city tower, Bi Yuntao raised his telescope and observed it carefully for a while, and found that there were not many Japanese soldiers charging forward, so he judged: "Don't panic! This is the Japanese army from the tentative attacking force. He ordered the 1st Company not to act rashly, and after the enemy approached the city wall, he could greet him with grenades, light machine guns, and submachine guns and other light weapons!"

"Yes!" The guard next to him responded loudly and immediately conveyed Bi Yuntao's order.

In order to reduce the pressure on each battalion commander's shoulders, Yang Jing used his previous performance as an assessment and promoted a deputy battalion commander to each battalion from the company commander below.

Lu Fang was originally the company commander of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion. Since the Battle of Baoshan, he has been a squad leader under Bi Yuntao.

Because of its brave combat and good tactical command capabilities, it is a rare and craftable material.

Yang Jing noticed a long time ago that as Bi Yuntao improved, Lu Fang also improved along the way, and now he has been promoted to the deputy battalion commander of the 1st Battalion.

At this time, Lu Fang followed Bi Yuntao and observed the movements of the Japanese with a telescope, and couldn't help but complain: "Battalion Commander, why is this Japanese still the same tactics! First, the infantry rushed, then the artillery bombarded! After the artillery bombarded, the infantry rushed!"

Bi Yuntao sneered: "Although the Japanese's tactics seem dull, they are worse than their equipment. They have no air superiority and no advantage in artillery fire. They are still very successful!

This is also the real reason why the Japanese can defeat other friendly troops again and again!

It’s a pity that they met my Tiger Group today! They will be destined to pay the price of bleeding for their stupidity!”
