Li Hong thought for a while, and ordered everyone: "Okay, everyone go back and get ready!"
"Yes, group seats!!!"
After the officers of each battalion went down, they began to carry out various deployments according to Li Hong's combat instructions...
The time quickly passed to the afternoon, and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who had received combat missions gathered outside the city one after another.
They quickly occupied the main positions outside the city in the east, south, and north directions, and dug trenches to build various fortifications, as well as artillery positions.
The security regiment had already encircled the enemies in the city on three sides, but Li Hong did not rush to order the attack.
With the firepower of the security regiment, it is not difficult to break through the enemy's city gate fortifications, but daytime is not conducive to attacking.
The little devil's firepower is not weak. There are many heavy weapons, as well as the support of cannons and planes. If there is a strong attack, the troops will definitely suffer many casualties.
Of course, Li Hong's strategy is very far-reaching, and his goal of attacking the city is not just an ancient city county.
He reached a tacit agreement with the Second Theater Command, preparing to recover some major counties and towns and expand the area of activity of the Chinese troops.
Now the battle has just begun, and he encircled rather than attacked in order to create tension and pressure for the little devil, so that the little devil's various strongholds will continue to increase troops.
As long as the little devils get reinforcements, the rear will definitely be empty, and the National Army and the Eighth Route Army can take the opportunity to pull out the devils' strongholds and regain some of the lost ground.
……
At dusk, the sound of fierce fighting can be heard within a hundred kilometers around Gucheng County.
Half an hour ago, Li Hong received a telegram from the headquarters of the Second Battalion, stating that Mei Youcai's troops had already exchanged fire with the reinforcements from the Devil's 107th Regiment.
Although the 107th regiment is the regiment's number, it is a second-class regiment with a reduced staffing and firepower configuration, and its overall combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the first-class regiment.
The Devil's 107th Regiment left some troops to guard Ping'an County. In fact, the number of the Devil's Regiment was only about 2000.
Mei Youcai's Second Battalion had only over 1200 combatants. In terms of numbers, there was a bit of a gap between the two sides.
However, the Second Battalion is equipped with a lot of German weapons and equipment, and the light firepower is far superior to that of the Japanese troops.
In terms of artillery, the Devil's 107th Regiment has many Type [-] infantry artillery, as well as mortars and grenades.
The second battalion chose to march in the mountains to rush to the blocking area, so it was impossible to carry any heavy artillery, only more than 50 large and small caliber mortars and heavy machine guns.
Ambush warfare is not a siege warfare. There are a large number of mortars and machine guns to support it, and the firepower is enough to kill the little devil.
Gejiacun ambush point.
Based on the favorable terrain, the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion launched an ambush on the passing Devils 107 Wing.
Gejia Village is basically surrounded by mountainous terrain, which is a good place for natural ambush.
"Da da da da da!!!"
"Chug chug chug!!!"
"Tom tom tom tom..."
The two sides fought fiercely in the Gejia Village area, and the surrounding area of several kilometers was full of fierce gunfire.
The Devil's 107th Regiment received an order from the headquarters to reinforce Gucheng County at all costs.
The devil commander organized his troops, concentrated his firepower, and tried his best to attack the second battalion's position, trying to break through the fire blockade.
"Imperial soldiers, break through the enemy's position in front, give it to you!!!"
"Grenade squad, mortar, attack!!!"
The devil's heavy firearms fired together, overwhelming the defensive positions of the Second Battalion.
"Machine guns cover, infantry charge forward!!!"
Under the cover of powerful firepower, the devil infantry rushed forward bravely with weapons.
"Clap clap clap!!!"
"Clap clap clap..."
The devils moved forward through the cover, and at the same time, they pulled the bolts at the targets in front and continued to shoot.
"Hurry up, hurry up!!!"
The little devils swarmed up like a group of desperate mad dogs, without any consideration of casualties.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
The enemy's shells and bullets were as fierce as torrential rain, densely scattered near the second battalion's position.
The little devils attacked very fast. Under the cover of firepower, they moved to less than 300 meters from the second battalion's position in less than ten minutes.
At the beginning, the security team did not attack the little devil with all its strength, but deliberately let the little devil's infantry come up.
The enemy's firepower is fully fired. Although the firepower is very fierce, the enemy has also exposed many firepower positions.
Little devils have always been like this in wars. They think that they have a lot of artillery, and when they encounter the Chinese army, they will be crushed by artillery fire, and then organize their troops to charge.
In the impression of the devil officers and soldiers, most of the Chinese army's weapons and equipment are backward, and as long as the Japanese firepower is poured out, the Chinese army can be defeated.
The little devil didn't know that the ambush was the security regiment, so the enemy commander didn't pay attention to the second battalion at all.
At this time, Mei Youcai, the commander of the second battalion, saw the little devil approaching, and immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the position to fight back with all their strength. ,
"Artillery attack, machine gun team suppressed!!!"
As soon as the order was issued, all the heavy firepower weapons and equipment of the Second Battalion were suddenly opened.
"Suddenly—"
"Tom, tom, tom!!!"
"Tom, tom, tom..."
The gunfire suddenly became extremely dense and resounding, and the sound of the artillery was deafening.
The firepower of the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion guarding the position suddenly increased several times compared to before.
More than 50 mortars started shelling together, and hundreds of grenades hit the devil's heavy fire position.
Nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns fired together, and thousands of bullets flew towards the little devil soldiers who rushed up.
