Beat the devil with a system

If the security regiment is defeated in this battle, then the Japanese army will continue to attack and occupy other counties and towns in the next step. In the end, the main force of the Chinese army will be forced to the mountains by the Japanese army.

"Thank you, Chief Chen, for your reminder. I have learned from my humble position." Li Hong said gratefully to Chen Tingxiao.

Chen Tingxiao stood up, patted Li Hong heavily on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Li Hong, the commanders of the war zone are also willing to help you fight this battle well. The battle of Gucheng County is related to the turning point of the World War II zone. We can only win. Don't fail!"

Li Hong suddenly stood up and replied loudly: "I understand that I must go all out in this battle. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

"If you don't succeed, you will succeed!!!"

The other officers in the headquarters stood up one after another, speaking in unison.

"Okay, if you have the determination to win, the victory in this battle must belong to us!"

After Chen Tingxiao finished speaking, he raised his hand to salute all the officers, and prepared to leave the headquarters.

"Mr. Chen, I'll see you off..."

Chen Tingxiao waved to Li Hong who came over, and said, "Li Hong, there is no need to send it away, you should focus on the battle."

"Yes, Chief Chen!"

Li Hong and other officers watched Chen Tingxiao leave the headquarters.

Soon, the officers sat back to their respective positions.

Li Hong asked someone to take out a small map of the surrounding terrain of Gucheng County. While thinking carefully, he carefully worked on the map with his hands.

It took several soldiers to refer to the map he drew and spent half an hour to make a sand table map.

With the sand table map, the terrain and landforms around Gucheng County become more three-dimensional and conspicuous.

According to the distribution points of the enemy and ourselves marked on the sand table map, Li Hong carefully deployed the combat plan.

The entire battle of Gucheng County can be divided into three stages of combat. First, the first stage is to break through the enemy's defense line outside the Gucheng County.

After receiving the combat order, the chief officers immediately left the headquarters and returned to their stations to prepare for the battle.

……

At night, the combat battalions of the security regiment had already assembled in the outskirts of Gucheng County.

Li Hong only left a reserve infantry battalion to guard the base area, and the rest of the combat troops were dispatched.

Taking advantage of the night, the soldiers quickly built fortifications, and the artillerymen looked for favorable artillery positions.

The headquarters of the security regiment was built on a low hill with a height of [-] meters, surrounded by dense trees, hidden

Concealment is very good.

Li Hong was sitting in the headquarters with a phone in his hand, and the battalion chiefs were reporting the situation to him.

"Report to the regiment, all the troops of the Second Battalion have completed the assembly task, and have arrived at the designated combat location according to your order."

"Report to the regiment, the armored battalion has completed the assembly task, and has arrived at the designated combat point according to your order."

"Reporting to the regiment, the fourth battalion has assembled and has arrived at the designated combat location."

"Reporting to the regiment, the heavy artillery unit of the First Battalion of the Artillery has established a position, and the artillery is ready to launch an artillery attack on the enemy's defensive positions at any time."

"..."

After the battalions reported the situation, Li Hong walked out of the regiment headquarters with the night vision binoculars.

He held up the binoculars and cast his gaze to the front of the enemy's position in the distance.

Rows of wooden stakes were erected at the forefront of the enemy's position, and barbed wire was hung on these stakes, and the barbed wire fence surrounded several kilometers of defense lines.

In addition to the barbed wire, there are many searchlights on the forward guard tower.

The searchlight column alternately inspected back and forth, the lights were very dazzling, and could clearly illuminate everything within a few hundred meters of the forward position.

Li Hong slowly moved the sight of the binoculars to carefully observe the situation of the enemy's position. Occasionally, he could see the patrols of puppet troops and devils moving around.

As he went deep into the enemy camp to observe, Li Hong found that some enemies seemed to be having dinner together.

Moreover, the enemy's defense seems to be very loose, and the enemy can be seen walking back and forth randomly everywhere on the position.

In addition to these situations, Li Hong also discovered some situations in which the enemy's troops were deployed.

On the other side of the enemy's position, the troops guarding the front and front lines are all puppet troops, while the little devil troops are all defending the rear line of defense.

Judging from the enemy's defense situation, it seems that the devils and puppet soldiers have not noticed that the security regiment has approached their defense zone.

Originally, Li Hong planned to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's position in the middle of the night, but now that the enemy's defenses are lax, it is also a good opportunity to attack.

Just had a battle plan, after a while, the commando who went out to reconnaissance came back.

The commando leader Jiang Wu ran to Li Hong and reported: "Boss, I have already scouted the situation outside the enemy's frontier. The enemy has placed a lot of mines and explosives outside the frontier."

Chapter 626 Gucheng County Operation Plan ([-])

After listening to Jiang Wu's report, Li Hong smiled disapprovingly and said, "I said why the puppet soldiers and devils on the ground were so lax. It turned out that they had planted landmines outside the forward position. No wonder they were confident and not afraid of surprise attacks."

Jiang Wu suggested to Li Hong: "Sir, while the little devils are slack, we can shoot the enemy first, just in time to catch them off guard!"

"You are right, now is indeed a good opportunity."

Li Hong nodded, and immediately called the communication soldier.

"Communication soldier, send me an order immediately, notify the heavy artillery unit, aim at the enemy's second-line defensive position in the eastern suburbs, and launch a fierce shelling!"

"Yes, group seat!"

The communications soldier left and quickly ran back to the headquarters.

"Tuan Zuo, why did you order the artillery to attack the defensive positions behind the enemy?" Jiang Wu asked Li Hong not quite understanding.

"Jiang Wu, you'll understand why I did this later." Li Hong didn't say it clearly, but just smiled secretly.

A few minutes later, the first artillery battalion commander Zheng Tietou received Li Hong's order.

On the hillside of a frontline position, more than a dozen Krupp 105mm howitzers aimed at the enemy's eastern outskirts position.

The artillerymen are adjusting the firing angle of the artillery and loading the shells.

"Prepare the high-explosive bomb, load it in one round!!!"
