When Li Hong saw the devil's reconnaissance plane leave, he put down the binoculars in his hand.
Although the devil's reconnaissance plane left without finding anything, his mood did not become lighter. On the contrary, his mood gradually became a little deeper.
The devil sent a reconnaissance plane to investigate, which shows that the little devil's army should not be far from Xuzhou City.
According to Li Hong's estimation of the offensive routes of the devil's ministries, within a few hours, the Japanese 9th Division and 114th Division would be the first to attack outside Xuzhou City.
Immediately, Li Hong notified all the ministries to enter combat readiness and prepare to meet the enemy.
What worried Li Hong most was not encountering a strong enemy, but what worried him most was the evacuation of the people in the city.
When the devil troops arrive and the battle between the two sides breaks out, countless civilians in the city who have not evacuated will surely be killed or injured.
In order to save some innocent people from being killed or injured, Li Hong immediately ordered the cavalry battalion and armored battalion to use various methods to help the people evacuate Xuzhou City before the army of devils arrived.
When encountering civilians who were stubborn and refused to leave, Li Hong asked his subordinates to forcibly drive them away.
Soon, the armored battalion and the cavalry battalion began to carry out Li Hong's order to quickly transfer the residents in the city.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion rode horses from house to house to inform the people to evacuate, ensuring that every family could get the news of the evacuation.
Some civilians were reluctant to part with their property, and the soldiers of the security regiment even coaxed and lied to them, but they couldn't persuade them, so the soldiers used strong methods and fired a few shots to scare them.
Not to mention, such a special method of evacuating and transferring civilians in the city is quite effective.
About two hours later, more than a thousand residents in the city left Xuzhou City.
Of course, you can't transfer too many civilians at once in broad daylight, because there are too many people and the targets are large, so it is easy to attract the attention of the devil's reconnaissance plane.
In case the evacuated civilians encountered the Devil bombers, the civilians on the ground would simply be a group of lambs and could only be bombed and killed by the Devil bombers.
Li Hong transferred the civilians in batches, and all the civilians who were not transferred were also notified to evacuate Xuzhou City.
People in every household pack their bags and backpacks and prepare for the transfer in advance.
Using this method for transfer can evacuate more people in a more orderly manner and save more time.
Another half an hour passed, and suddenly, the observation post at the front called the regiment headquarters.
At this time, Li Hong was in the headquarters listening to his subordinates report on the evacuation of the people.
The communications soldier put down the phone and reported loudly: "Reporting regiment, according to the report from the forward observation post, a Japanese cavalry unit has approached [-] kilometers away from the east city!"
When Li Hong heard the ghost cavalry rushing outside the city, he didn't panic at all. Immediately, he picked up the binoculars and ran quickly to the upstairs of the building not far away.
Afterwards, the communication team took two phones to the building upstairs so that Li Hong could give orders and direct the troops.
Li Hong ran to the roof of the building in one breath, held up his binoculars and looked outside the east city.
Outside the east city of Xuzhou, the terrain is flat and there are no mountains or undulating hills to cover it. You can clearly see the situation in the distance with a telescope.
In the distance, a large-scale cavalry team is coming towards the east city. The devil's cavalry has a large number of horses, at least a thousand horses.
Li Hong magnified the magnification of the telescope, moved the scope in his hand, and carefully observed the weapons and equipment carried by the devil cavalry.
The devil cavalry team has similar weapons and firepower, because the horses of the cavalry have limited load, and the horses can only carry some light weapons when they need to run.
Right now, the cavalry of the devils rushing forward is not equipped with any heavy firepower weapons and equipment. All the cavalry of the devils are carrying sabers, light machine guns, rifles, and a small number of grenades.
After observing for a while, Li Hong gained some judgment and understanding of the situation of the devil cavalry.
Judging from the number of enemy horses and the size of the team, this should be a cavalry regiment of the devils, and the regiment flag of the devil cavalry is very conspicuous.
Li Hong didn't pay attention to the devil's cavalry in a mere regiment, and killing the devil's cavalry was a matter of minutes.
The devil's cavalry came to kill them, and Li Hong decided to defeat the devil's cavalry regiment.
While observing the devil's cavalry, Li Hong issued an order: "Communication soldier, immediately notify the flying squadron to carry out the bombing mission, and kill the devil's cavalry for me!"
The communications soldier nodded in response, quickly ran to the phone, picked up the phone and called the flight squadron.
The plane of the security regiment flying squadron is parked at the military airport on the outskirts of Xuzhou Houshan.
The airport is less than 50 kilometers away from the Xuzhou front-line positions. With such a short distance, the security team's planes can take off at any time to quickly support the front-line battlefield.
……
At the same time, the devil cavalry unit rushing to the outside of Xuzhou city suddenly slowed down.
The vanguard of this devil cavalry is the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, and the 18th Cavalry Regiment under its jurisdiction.
Under the order of the regimental captain, the devil cavalry all reined in and stopped marching.
"Woooooooo!!!"
A deep horse neigh sounded, and more than 1000 war horses neighed and echoed each other.
The warhorses paused and stood there waiting for orders.
At the front of the group of war horses are a few devil officers, and the leader in the middle is a devil commander.
At this time, a devil major on horseback pointed to the city wall ahead: "Your Excellency, Captain, the city ahead is Xuzhou City."
"well."
Guizi Dazuo nodded, with a confident expression on his face, he said meaningfully: "Xuzhou City has been a strategic place for the Chinese people since ancient times. As long as our Imperial Japanese Army takes this city, it will be able to connect North China and China." Central China battlefield..."
Major Guizi agreed very much and continued: "Yes, Your Excellency, Captain, the geographical location of Xuzhou City is very important. It is not only related to North China and Central China, but also affects the national war situation of our Imperial Japanese Army."
Chapter 501 Guarding Xuzhou City ([-])
, the fastest update to the latest chapter with a system to fight devils!
This ghost commander is the captain of the 18th cavalry regiment of the Japanese army, Yamaguchi Jianchun.
Yamaguchi Jianchun raised the binoculars hanging around his neck and carefully observed the defense line outside Xuzhou City, with a longing and greedy look on his face.
At this time, Yamaguchi Jianchun really wanted to give an order to order the troops to attack, and take Xuzhou City in one fell swoop to make his first contribution.
Of course, Yamaguchi Kenharu just thought about such a beautiful thing, and he also knew that if the backup troops did not come, it would be useless to capture the Xuzhou defenders' positions.
Looking at the fortifications in front of him, Yamaguchi Kenharu couldn't help but marvel at the arrangement of the field fortifications built by the defenders.
The various fortifications built on the security regiment's position are very strong, and the firepower points are tightly arranged, and there are almost no weak points of defense to drill.
Moreover, the defenders are all on standby, sticking to their positions, and can enter the battle at any time.
Yamaguchi Jianchun observed the position ahead, put down the binoculars and asked the major next to him: "The generals guarding Xuzhou City in front are not simple. Which unit of the Chinese army is this?"
