The team leader didn't have such an idea, which does not mean that others didn't.

The captain of the Japanese Shouyang Garrison was the officer with the most battles with the National Rescue Army, and he knew the National Rescue Army better than the regiment captain.

When I learned that the garrison on the first defensive position was severely damaged after only one contact, the defensive position was lost. Immediately afterwards, the second defensive position lost contact with the county town, a trace of bad premonition suddenly appeared in my mind.

His repeated battles with the National Salvation Army made him understand one truth: the National Salvation Army never takes a battle without confidence, and if you don’t take action, you will definitely gain something if you take action!

If they dare to attack Shouyang, they will definitely be sure to take Shouyang, and they even hide some killer weapons that everyone does not know.

Although the captain in front of him was very furious and surprised, he had no sense of crisis on his face that the second defensive position was taken down by the National Salvation Army. He couldn't help but remind: "Sir, I think we should make the worst plan?"

The captain of the regiment suddenly heard this sentence before he could react. He stared at the captain of the garrison and asked inexplicably: "What is the worst plan?"

"I suspect something has happened to our troops stationed in the second defensive position?" The garrison captain blurted out.

"Nani?" The captain of the regiment had only heard the rumors that the National Salvation Army was so powerful, and had never really fought with the National Salvation Army. After hearing the garrison captain's answer, his first reaction was that he did not believe it.

"This is impossible. The second defensive position not only stationed the Imperial Army of the two regiments, but also stationed half a squad of the Imperial Army, equipped with more than ten various artillery pieces. Their opponent, the National Salvation Army, did not have many artillery pieces. I will never believe that they have the ability to destroy so many of our troops in such a short time?"

Seeing that the captain of the regiment was so decisive, the captain of the garrison wanted to explain, but he swallowed it back after the words came to his mouth.

If the captain doesn't even have any worries or sense of crisis in this regard, no matter how much he says, it will be nonsense and will not serve any warning.

He decided not to mention this topic for now, and then explain his judgment to the team leader after finding more direct evidence.

At this moment, the gunfire had completely stopped on the second blocking position that the convoy captain was eager to see.

On the battlefield where bomb craters were everywhere, soldiers were cleaning the battlefield with squads, escorting prisoners, and treating the wounded.

He Feng, the captain of the Xiyang garrison team, was very happy. His mouth had never been closed since ten minutes ago.

The attack just now was completely beaten and was not dragged on at all.

Under the cover of a row of heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, the attacking troops were unstoppable, and one assault killed the Japanese and puppet troops.

What satisfied him the most was that most puppet troops did not show their heads when defending the trench, and they only dared to hold their rifles and shoot blindly in front of the trench. The shooting accuracy was very poor, resulting in very small losses in the troops' offensive losses, and most of them were trauma caused by rifle bullets, which were rarely fatal...

This means that the Xiyang garrison team has very few direct reductions in the attack just now, and it will not affect the subsequent battle at all.

In addition, Dong Fei also received a lot of other good news.

While commanding troops to clean the battlefield on the battlefield, he searched for the figure of the regiment commander with his own light and reported to him the good news he had received.

"Captain, I finally found you!" As soon as he saw Zhou Cheng, Dong Fei hurried over with an excited expression on his face.

"We won a great victory in the attack just now. With the cooperation of cavalry and artillery, we killed all the more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops on the position with only a small casualties. The preliminary results have been counted."

"Above the Japanese and puppet troops that were killed, we captured 1,385 puppet troops and seized a large number of weapons and equipment!"

"All the artillery built by the Japanese and puppet troops on the sixth main position were seized by the cavalry troops, and none of them were blown up. I have sent someone to protect them."

"We also seized the ammunition stored in the sixth main trench by the Japanese army. There were a total of 200,000 bullets of various types, more than 6,000 grenades, and more than 500 shells..."

When He Feng was about to continue talking, a cavalry suddenly rushed towards them.

When the two sides were more than ten meters away, the cavalry turned over and fell off the horse, jumped to the ground, and then ran towards Zhou Cheng quickly: "Report to the regiment commander, captain, I am the commander of the cavalry company of the Xiyang Garrison. The company commander asked me to report: There are more than 200 puppet army prisoners in the third main trench ahead and need to send troops to take over. They were discovered on our way to hunt down the Japanese. Company Commander Tao asked us to hand over the prisoners and then chase them immediately, join forces with them, and continue to chase the remaining Japanese deserters!"

After hearing this, Dong Fei was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground: "Great, commander! With these more than 200 prisoners and the hundreds of people we caught on the first defensive position, the total number of prisoners has exceeded 2,000. The Japanese army arranged a total of three regiments of Imperial Army in front of us, and the number of those who were beaten to death was only 2,000 left."

"It is equivalent to the Imperial Army that the Japanese army stood in front of us, and our target was only more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops left in the county. If we take them down, Shouyang will be ours!"

He Feng, the first battalion commander who rushed over, also began to shine: "Captain, the cavalry troops have already rushed towards the county town. As long as we are fast enough, we will definitely be able to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in Shouyang City off guard. Before they are ready, they will take the county town at lightning speed!"

"Or why should I lead the troops to march and kill them now? It's only seven kilometers away from the county town, and it's less than an hour to march in the army!"

Dong Fei didn't want to miss this siege battle, and immediately supported: "The Xiyang Garrison left a battalion to clean the battlefield and guarded the prisoners, and the remaining two battalions and their direct troops could participate in the battle."

"Plus with the artillery force, we will definitely win this battle! Commander, please give the order!"

Faced with this unexpected battle, Zhou Cheng was excited, and his appetite became bigger and bigger without realizing it.

His original idea was to use the two ambushers of artillery and cavalry to fight quickly and defeat Shouyang and Yangquan at the minimum cost.

As a result, as soon as the battle began, my goal and mission were completed more than half.

With the existing troops and firepower at hand, it will definitely be very easy to win Shouyang, and it even has the meaning of killing a chicken with a ox knife.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet army counterattack troops, who had always wanted to fight but were worried that they would not have such a big appetite, entered Zhou Cheng's vision.

If we could take the opportunity to eat up these more than 6,000 Japanese and puppet troops together, it would definitely further weaken the strength of the Japanese army's Shanxi garrison and give the national rescue army more rest time.

The troops have just taken over Shouyang and Yangquan, and it takes a lot of time to develop these two places. The Shouyang Garrison and Yangquan Garrison also need time to develop... In this way, the more rest time the National Salvation Army needs, the better!

Do it when you think of it. This is Zhou Cheng’s combat style.

He reminded He Feng and Dong Fei: "Do you still remember another Japanese and puppet army I told you before the war? They lurked beside Shouyang and Yangquan. They can counterattack us by advancing, and retreating can return to their occupied areas and not fight with us."

"When we first formulated the combat plan, in order to prevent the troops from being supported by too much appetite, we directly ignored the Japanese and puppet troops who could advance, attack and retreat and defend."

"Now we are attacking so smoothly. According to the current situation, we have the strength to eat up this Japanese and puppet army, so I temporarily decided to add more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops lurking beside Shouyang to our next attack target."

"The communication soldier... immediately send someone to chase Captain Tao, the cavalry unit, and ask him to send someone to block Shouyang City and prevent a Japanese outside the city from entering the city. Let's set off now!"

Seeing that He Feng and Dong Fei were both puzzled, as if they had not understood what they meant, Zhou Cheng immediately explained: "When you attacked the Japanese and puppet troops, the telephone line connecting to the county town was cut off. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed here had no chance to report to the county town on the phone that we were equipped with a large number of artillery and cavalry units, and there was no chance to report their defeat."

"As long as we block the county town and prevent the Japanese who fled on the battlefield from entering the city, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city will be kept in the dark and do not know our true strength."

After hearing this, Dong Fei showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but as he thought about it, his brows frowned again: "Captain... I probably understand what you mean!"

"If the Japanese and puppet troops in the county do not know our true situation, the troops can continue to act with the Japanese outside the city. They find ways to make them mistakenly believe that our National Salvation Army suffered heavy casualties in the attack just now. If their conspiracy succeeds, they will definitely continue to work hard and transfer the three thousand Japanese and puppet troops lurking beside Shouyang to the county to participate in the battle and counterattack us. Then the troops will have the opportunity to wipe out them completely."

"But there is a problem: In addition to telephone, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed here also have a radio station. What if they have already contacted the county town with the radio station and reported the situation of the report?"

Zhou Cheng answered confidently: "Don't worry about this question, I'm sure the Japanese army has not reported it yet."

"When the main force launched an attack, the reconnaissance team was not idle either."

"They were surrounded by artillery fire and planned to take down the Japanese command center as soon as the artillery was over."

"I didn't expect the cavalry to be faster than them!"

"Before the reconnaissance team reached the command center, the Japanese gave up the command center and ran away under the threat of the cavalry."

"The Japanese squad leader ran too fast, and the reconnaissance team was escaped by him before they could shoot."

"The radio operator on the back of the radio did not slip away, and was shot dead by them as soon as he rushed out of the war room."

"After confirmation, the radio operator did not have time to send out a telegram before retreating because of limited time!"

"The radio and telephone contacts were interrupted. As long as we stopped the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the county would become blind and deaf, and we would have the conditions to continue acting with the Japanese and puppet troops."

Dong Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately: "If this is the case, then this battle will be a big deal..."

"Captain, how to fight in detail, please give orders. We will fight for a battle to eat the Japanese counterattack troops, so that the Japanese army will lose rice if they steal chickens!"

Although the subordinates had not contacted the outside teams of Shangcheng, the corps captain still believed that they were still fighting the National Savior Army outside the city.

The bad premonition in the garrison captain's heart became stronger and stronger, but before he could find a real evidence, he could not find a reason to convince the garrison captain to make the worst plan and could only continue to wait.

Until a string of gunfire suddenly rang out outside the city.
