Predator Reborn

Chapter 568: Surrounded by three and missing one

Early the next morning, with the arrival of the other two main divisions of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the remaining six main regiments of the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance, all cadres above the regiment level, cadres above the squadron level of the advance detachment, and reinforcements arrived in a hurry over the past few days.

The leaders of the various anti-Japanese forces all gathered in a small headquarters outside Baishan County, preparing to hold the last meeting before the war to arrange specific combat tasks...

As soon as the meeting started, Liu Hua stood up from his seat. After glancing at the dozens of commanders in front of him, Liu Hua began to announce the specific content and topics of the meeting...

"Comrades, I won't tell you the specific reason and purpose of calling everyone here so early this morning. Everyone knows in their hearts, that is, how to completely annihilate the 40,000 people besieged by us in Baishan County.

Japs. According to the latest information sent by our intelligence personnel, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters, in order to rescue the 40,000 Japs in the county, continues to surround our army in the Mengshan area. It has decided to start from the Shanhaiguan area to prepare for the Northeast of our Eighth Route Army.

Within the encirclement of the main force of the field army, three main divisions, totaling more than 60,000 people, were mobilized to go north to meet the 40,000 Japs in the county..."

Seeing that dozens of people in the conference room were immediately talking about what he said, Liu Hua waved his hand and continued...

"Comrades, although the Japanese army dispatched 60,000 troops to reinforce Baishan County, it is a very huge threat to us who are short of troops. However, everyone should not forget that from Shanhaiguan to Baishan County, there are

Hundreds of kilometers of mountain roads. According to the marching speed of the Japanese army, it will take at least a week for the Japanese army to reach Baishan County. Two days have passed now. Therefore, the time left for us to fight is at most

There are less than five days left. Therefore, our combat goal is to wipe out all 40,000 little devils in the county within five days. Do you have the confidence..." Liu Hua shouted loudly

...

"have..."

"Very good. Now, I would like to ask Comrade Liu Xiaogang to introduce to you the specific situation of the Japanese army in the county. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. Let everyone have an idea in mind before the war..." Regarding everyone's reaction, Liu Hua

He nodded with satisfaction and said to Liu Xiaogang beside him...

"Yes, Commander, Deputy Commander... Comrades, after two days of siege and shooting by the First Brigade of our advance detachment. In addition, before the war, with the assistance of the Second Brigade of the advance detachment, the Japanese advance troops were completely wiped out.

The results of the regiment. So far, we have eliminated two entire Japanese infantry regiments, with a total strength of 7,000 people. Therefore, now in the entire Baishan County, there are only six infantry regiments, a total of two infantry regiments.

Ten thousand combat soldiers. As for the remaining more than 10,000 people, they are basically artillery, engineers, and baggage troops with little combat effectiveness... Therefore, for us, the biggest enemy is the 20,000 Japanese infantry troops.

.." Seeing everyone slowly sinking into deep thought, Liu Xiaogang continued.

"There is another situation that I hope you will not forget. For two days, the Japanese army was surrounded by us and was in a desperate situation of no food and water. Although their air force dropped a lot of food. However, this food

For the little devil with an army of 40,000, it can be said to be insignificant. Therefore, I believe that the current Japanese army in the county will have its combat effectiveness reduced by at least 30% due to the lack of food and water... Commander, I have finished my speech.

..."...

With Liu Xiaogang's introduction, the enemy situation in the entire Baishan County slowly became clear to everyone. With the in-depth understanding of the enemy situation, coupled with the sophisticated equipment and sufficient ammunition of his own troops, these

After many victories in battles, the face of the commander, who had long been full of expectations for the combat effectiveness of his troops, was slowly enveloped by a confident smile...

Just as Liu Xiaogang finished speaking, Commander Zhou Baozhong stood up from his seat and said excitedly to the commander in the conference room: "Commander, deputy commander. Such a good opportunity.

, we must not let it go...just assign a task. This time, we will definitely eat up all the 40,000 little devils, not a single one left."

"Yes, Commander, let's assign a mission. If my regiment is assigned as the main attack, I guarantee that I will be the first to rush into the county town and deliver the head of the little devil Lieutenant General Sato to you..."

"Why should your regiment be the main attacker? Our fourth regiment is not bad...Commander, just give the order. Our fourth regiment must be the main attacker this time and kill the Japanese division commander Lieutenant General Sato..."

.”

"Commander, let my Seventh Regiment go up... We can't give the first and fourth regiments the advantage every time. Our Seventh Regiment's combat effectiveness is not bad either... Let our Seventh Regiment be the main attacker and ensure that we are the first to charge.

On the city wall...."

In an instant, the entire conference room started to quarrel like a vegetable market. A dozen regiment-level and division-level cadres belonging to the Anti-Japanese League, as soon as Commander Zhou Baozhong finished speaking, hurriedly jumped up from their seats and started arguing.

They are rushing to seize the main attack mission of the entire campaign...

Compared with the dozen or so anti-Japanese cadres who were vying to be the main attacker, the more than a dozen anti-Japanese armed leaders who participated in the meeting were sitting in their seats, staring at everything in front of them with their mouths open.

Because, these anti-Japanese armed leaders are all former commanders of the Northeast Army at all levels. And among the Japanese army, when facing an enemy several times stronger than themselves, there is generally only one possibility, that

They are afraid of the enemy and are deeply afraid that their troops will be assigned the main offensive task, which will eventually lead to the outcome of losing troops. But in front of them, the Eighth Route Army cadres, facing an enemy force several times their own, not only are not afraid of the enemy, but are scrambling to grab it.

Wanting to be the main attacker, he did not consider that after a big battle, his troops would be wiped out...

After seeing a dozen noisy commanders in front of them. After a brief shock, these people had only one thought in their hearts, that is, their decision this time was really right... Only by following such a unit can they be able to

To truly fight the Japanese, you don't need to fight among your own troops...

"Everyone is quiet, I know who will be responsible for the main attack mission... Battalion Commander Zhao, I have just informed everyone of my combat purpose, which is to completely annihilate the 40,000 Japs in the county. I don't know, you heroes, have you

I don’t have any ideas. If you have any other ideas, just put them forward. In our Eighth Route Army, there is never a single statement. If you have any opinions, just put them forward..." Liu Hua waved his hands and fell into a trance again in the conference room.

During the quiet time, I set my sights on more than a dozen anti-alliance armed leaders...

"Report to Commander. We have more than 10,000 troops. We will completely obey Commander Liu's leadership and accept Commander Liu's command. We will annihilate all the Japs in the county. We have no objections. Please arrange combat missions with Commander Liu..."

The representative of the anti-Japanese armed leader, Battalion Commander Zhao Guanghua, stood up in a hurry as soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, and said with determination...

"Very good. With your words, I feel relieved... Comrades, although the Japanese army has nearly 40,000 people, they have no artillery support. In addition, they have run out of food and water. In general,

Of these 40,000 little devils, only about 20,000 are actually capable of fighting. And we have six main regiments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, an advance detachment of more than 4,000 people, various anti-Japanese armed forces, and more than 10,000 guerrillas.

.More importantly, our morale is high, while the morale of the little devils is low. Generally speaking, in terms of numbers, we no longer have any disadvantages, but have certain advantages."

"There is another issue that everyone should not forget. That is, we have no fewer than fifty large-caliber artillery pieces of various types, plus various mortars. In terms of heavy firepower, we are dozens of times more powerful than these Japanese troops.

.So, I have the confidence to lead everyone together to annihilate these 40,000 little devils in the shortest possible time..." After getting the answer he wanted, Liu Hua analyzed it loudly to the people in front of him.

road...

"Now I order: The 1st Anti-League Division, equipped with 12 75mm mountain guns, will attack from the south gate. The 2nd Anti-League Division will be equipped with 12 75mm field guns, and will attack from the east gate... The 3rd Anti-League Division,

Equipped with 12 105mm howitzers, we launched a strong attack from the west gate... The rest said there were troops and various artillery attacks, and the mountains also ran. At the north gate, it was not worth a huge ambush circle for the little devils. This time, we

Surround the little Japs with three and one missing, and after driving them out of Baishan County, we will annihilate them all..." As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on Liu Hua's lips...

"Yes, Commander..." all the commanders replied in unison...

"Comrades, the specific task is this. During the attack, the three main divisions of the Anti-Japanese Alliance will not distinguish between the main attacker and the assist... The three main divisions must advance hand in hand while maintaining the casualties of the troops.

Use your firepower to kill and injure the Japanese troops as much as possible. You must use the artillery assigned to you well and don't save shells for me. This time, we have enough shells to squander on these little devils... Also

, all siege battles will be uniformly deployed and commanded by Commander Zhou Baozhong..." Liu Hua nodded and continued to order...

"Yes, Commander, the Anti-Japanese Alliance guarantees to complete the mission, achieve maximum results with minimal casualties, and drive the Japs out of Baishan County..." The commander in the weekly report stood up and replied loudly...

"Lao Zhou, I absolutely believe in your command ability... From now on, I will leave the six main regiments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to you... The following is the deployment of ambushing the Japanese army outside the city...

..Liu Xiaogang..." Liu Hua nodded and shouted loudly to the commanders in front of him...

"arrive..."

"Your mission is to bring your first brigade, with the cooperation of the assembled guerrillas of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, to use every means, whether it is using thick smoke or using anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by the advance detachment.

We must resolve the possible aerial attack by the Japs on our army before dawn tomorrow, including airdropping supplies to the Japs in the county... The requirement is to prevent as much as possible a grain of food from falling into the hands of the Japs in the city.

..."

"Yes, Commander, the First Brigade guarantees to complete the mission..." Liu Xiaogang replied confidently and sat down quickly...

"Don't worry, there are still tasks... The landmines around the county were all laid by your first brigade... Before dawn tomorrow, clear all the landmines near the four gates of the county. Free of charge

When you get it, if you blow up your own people, then the gain will outweigh the loss..." Liu Hua smiled and said...

"Commander, don't worry, we have distribution maps of these mines, and we can ensure that the mission is completed..."

"Battle Commander Zhao, heroes, all that remains is your task... I have just issued an order. The nearly 10,000 anti-Japanese armed forces you have brought with you will be deployed in the two brigades of my advance detachment and part of the guerrillas.

With our cooperation, we will annihilate all the Japs who break out... If nothing happens, the total strength of the Japs who break through will be about 20,000 by then. So, here, I hope everyone is prepared to fight a tough battle.

Get ready..." Liu Hua glanced at the dozen anti-Japanese armed leaders in front of him and said...

"Commander, just give the order... As long as we can annihilate all 40,000 little Japs, it will be worthwhile for me, Zhao Guanghua, to lose my life here today..." Zhao Guanghua roared with excitement.

..

"Yes, Commander Liu, we are all men from the Northeast. When it comes to fighting the Japanese, there is no coward, so just give the order..."...Following Zhao Guanghua's words, there were more than ten people left.

The bosses all raised their voices and shouted excitedly...

"Heroes, I, Liu Hua, believe that all of you are anti-Japanese heroes... However, for the smooth progress of the entire ambush battle, my opinion is that the troops you bring should be organized according to Comrade Liu Xiaogang's reorganization a few days ago.

, fifty people per team. As for everyone here, each person will lead ten teams. In this case, it will be convenient for the command of the troops. I wonder if you have any opinions..." Liu Hua nodded and continued to ask...

"No problem..." "No problem, we all listen to Commander Liu..."

"Then thank you for your support. However, as you all know, the so-called ambush battle is all about the firepower density of the first round of strafing. Therefore, in order to strengthen everyone's firepower density, each team must be equipped with five light guns.

If the machine gun does not meet the standard, I hope everyone can go to Comrade Liu Xiaogang to receive the corresponding weapons and ammunition as soon as possible..."

Just as Liu Hua finished his order, smiles appeared on the faces of more than a dozen leaders. After all, the firepower of the troops he led had increased, and they all nodded to express their gratitude...

"Very good. As for the specific combat mission, tonight we will make specific adjustments based on the specific terrain. The entire ambush battle will be commanded by Commander Yang and I. The last order is the time for the general attack of the troops.

Set at six o'clock tomorrow morning. At that time, we will prepare a sumptuous steel feast for the little devils in the city... Now I declare that the meeting is adjourned..." Liu Hua gave the final order...

As the meeting ended, the various units of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, under the leadership of their respective commanders, immediately followed the orders of Commander Zhou Baozhong, replenished their ammunition, and marched towards their intended combat targets...

As for the nearly 10,000 assembled anti-Japanese armed forces, under the leadership of their respective commanders, they began to assemble near the north gate of the county... At the same time, a series of light and heavy machine guns began to fire at Liu Xiaogang's

Under the command, the equipment was put into the hands of these anti-Japanese armed forces.... And these anti-Japanese armed forces, under the orders of their commanders, became familiar with the equipment they had just obtained in the shortest possible time...

Of course, among all the troops, the busiest was the First Brigade led by Liu Xiaogang and its thousands of guerrillas... As the meeting ended, more than a thousand special operations team members immediately led the team in small teams.

The guerrillas attached to the police began to collect a large amount of all the fire-starting materials they could find around the county...

A few hours passed. Outside Baishan County, almost every 50 meters apart, there were piles of various fire-starting materials piled up... However, what was different from other fire-starting materials was that these fire-starting materials

, basically all of them were deliberately wet...

Following Liu Xiaogang's order, a large amount of oil seized in Baishan County was poured into these fire piles... Just when the smell of a large amount of gasoline began to permeate the air, each torch was quickly

Throw it at the ignition material that has been doused with gasoline...

In the blink of an eye, huge bonfires appeared outside the city of Baishan County. Piles of bonfires burned, and plumes of dark smoke rose from these bonfires...

One puff of thick smoke, two puffs of thick smoke... In less than half an hour, nearly a thousand plumes of thick smoke appeared outside Baishan County... As the thick smoke rose higher and higher

Higher and higher, slowly, the smoke column composed of billowing smoke began to dissipate and spread to all sides...

As more and more wet ignition materials were ignited, more and more thick smoke floated into the sky. In less than an hour, the sky above the area around Baishan County was gradually filled with billowing smoke.

Shrouded... And as time slowly passed, the billowing smoke formed around Baishan County began to slowly shrink its encirclement, and finally, completely enveloped the small Baishan County...
