Beat the devil with a system

Page 297

Let the 337th Brigade hand over such an important line of defense to other troops. I am afraid that few officers and soldiers of the 113th Division dare to agree.

Zhou Yinghua was silent, pacing back and forth by the map, he thought carefully for a few minutes, and accepted Li Hong's opinion.

"Captain Li, I, Zhou Yinghua, am not an indecisive person. I may not really trust ordinary people, but I really trust you, Li Hong. The defense line of Xiaobengbu Town will be handed over to you, Captain Li!"

Zhou Yinghua solemnly patted Li Hong on the shoulder to express his great trust, and then he gave Xiao Yueguang an order.

"Xiao Yueguang!"

"I am humble!"

Zhou Yinghua announced loudly, "Order your 337th Brigade to withdraw from Xiaobengbu Town immediately and move closer to the 339th Brigade!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Yueguang picked up the phone and immediately notified the regiments to withdraw from their positions.

After a while, a colonel of the 337th brigade walked into the headquarters and reported to Zhou Yinghua the list of the weapons and equipment of the Japanese brigade that had just been seized.

Zhou Yinghua was generous and generous, and publicly decided to distribute half of the weapons and equipment to Li Hong, and allocated an extra part of heavy firepower weapons to the security team.

Li Hong waved his hand and politely refused, "Mr. Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. My security team just helped your 337 brigade. If I received these weapons and equipment, it would be a robbery. I should leave all the weapons and equipment to you." .”

"Leader Li, well, since you say that, you can only take advantage of me, Zhou, myself, hahaha!"

Zhou Yinghua knew that the security team had excellent weapons and equipment, and he knew that Li Hong didn't care about the weapons and equipment of these little devils at all.

Not only did Li Hong not accept the captured weapons and equipment, but he also sent a batch of medicine and ammunition to the 113th Division to make friends with Zhou Yinghua.

When I first came to the Fifth War Zone, there are many military departments, and there are many factions on hills. There are Northeast Army, Sichuan Army, Guangxi Faction, and Central Army. Only one unit of the security regiment is isolated. It is impossible not to make some connections and make friends with the army.

The 51st Army and the 113th Division are not direct troops of the Central Army, so they are naturally short of weapons and equipment, and even more so in terms of medicine.

Li Hong gave Zhou Yinghua valuable medicine, and the 113th Division naturally remembered this favor. In the future, if the security team encountered any difficulties on the battlefield, Zhou Yinghua would definitely lend a helping hand.

Chapter 274 The Enemy Night Crossing

After Zhou Yinghua and Xiao Yueguang left, Li Hong took over the headquarters of the original division brigade.

Li Hong studied the map for a while in the headquarters, then walked out of the headquarters and began to survey the terrain of the surrounding villages and towns of Xiaobengbu Town.

The coast of the Huaihe River is so long, it is indeed not an easy task to hold the Japanese army divisions across the river.

The ancient art of war is right, the best defense is offense.

Blindly only know how to defend, that is to wait for the enemy to attack you, defending against devils in the Huaihe River, to put it bluntly, it is purely a defensive battle that consumes troops.

The troops of the security regiment were elite, and Li Hong would not be so stupid as to let his troops stick to the war of attrition.

Li Hong's idea was that if he seized the opportunity to kill the main force of the devils, he would be able to greatly defeat the Japanese army and stop the enemy from attacking.

Holding a telescope in his hand, he sometimes stood at a commanding height and looked far away, and sometimes walked along the north bank of the Huaihe River, thinking about how to use terrain defense.

After surveying for several hours, he gave orders to redeploy troops and deploy defenses.

The main line of defense of the security regiment is near Bengbu Town on the north bank of the Huaihe River, and the line of defense is three kilometers long.

After deploying the troops, Li Hong ordered the soldiers to strengthen the fortifications on the line of defense in the original brigade and devil positions.

With a solid defensive position, it would not be a problem to guard the little devil to cross the river. Next, he should consider how to kill the little devil to consume the enemy's strength and delay the enemy's crossing of the Huaihe River to the greatest extent.

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Li Hong decided to deploy two more lines of defense on the north bank of the Huaihe River to hinder the enemy's advance.

"The messenger!"

"To!"

A messenger shouted beside him.

"I ordered the engineers to dig a few two-meter-wide canals along the first line of defense along the Huaihe River in Bengbu Town, dig more silt pits, and then order the officers and soldiers of the battalions and companies to lay mines on the second line of defense, and pay attention to marking on the ground of the mines , so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops..."

The main purpose of the first line of defense is to delay the enemy, and the second line of defense is to kill and hinder the enemy.

Li Hong had considered almost all the issues that should be considered in advance. If a little devil crossed the Huaihe River at night and passed the first line of defense, the second line of defense would be alerted by mines, and the soldiers on the defensive position could be vigilant and ready for battle in advance.

He patrolled the defense line several kilometers long, surveyed every position carefully, and urged all ministries to quickly establish fortifications.

……

As night fell gradually, the banks of the Huaihe River fell into darkness.

0 kilometers away from the south bank of the Huaihe River, the Japanese Army Division, Brigade, and Sagawa United Command.

More than a dozen devil officers are sitting at the wing headquarters, and they are holding a military meeting.

The Japanese Army Division is a first-class combat force, with brigades and 0 brigades under its jurisdiction, belonging to the Central China Dispatch Front Army.

During the day today, a brigade of the Sagawa Alliance stationed in Bengbu Town was completely annihilated, which made the alliance leader Sagawa Taro very angry.

Bengbu Town is a battleground between the Chinese defenders and the devils. Bengbu Town was taken back by the squadron. Of course, Sagawa Taro would not let it go.

In order to recapture Bengbu Town, the Sagawa Alliance has been recruiting and dispatching boats to cross the river during the day, making preparations for crossing the river in advance.

Taro Sagawa sat on the conference table with an angry expression on his face, and asked the intelligence officer, "Which army in China is besieging our Bengbu town garrison during the day?"

The Guizi intelligence official reported, "Your Excellency, the captain of the reporting group, the siege of Bengbu Town is a unit of the Central Army. The specific number and information of this unit have not yet been found by the subordinates."

"idiot!"

Taro Sagawa scolded, and said angrily, "Your intelligence department is useless. The war is imminent. You don't even know the intelligence of the Chinese troops fighting us."

The devil's intelligence officer lowered his head and let the captain reprimand him.

Instead, Taro Sagawa asked the officers of the headquarters in a loud voice, "How are the preparations for crossing the Huai River tonight?"

The commander of the Japanese army who was in charge of crossing the river tonight was the first to answer, "Report to Your Excellency, Captain, all the troops for crossing the river have been assembled."

At this time, a major officer stood up and reported, "Report to Your Excellency, Captain, the brigade logistics department has mobilized 0 small boats."

After the major had finished speaking, another devil major reported, "Reporting to the regiment leader, our department was ordered to collect river-crossing tools from the villages and towns on the south bank of the Huaihe River, and seize large and small ships from the civilians in China."

"Yo Xi, order all the ministries to get ready and cross the Huai River tonight!"

Taro Sagawa slammed his fist on the conference table, expressing his strong determination to regain the defense line of Bengbu Town.

"Hi Yi!!!"
