    He likes to take risks when fighting, so he also likes Xia Yang's surprise attack plan very much.  Taking risks does not mean playing around without thinking. Taking risks is because there are equal benefits and there are feasible strategies for taking risks.

    "Our army's most elite guard battalion, as well as a sniper squadron and a cavalry regiment, totaling more than 3,000 people, will arrive at Lingqiu City through the Tang River. The two guard regiments in Taibai Mountain will serve as supplementary forces.  Assist in the attack on Lingqiu County. By then we will occupy Lingqiu County and cut off the Japanese Fifth Division's northward retreat. They will be the turtle in the urn!" Xia Yang tapped lightly on the map with his finger.

    Such a plan is indeed risky, but the benefits are also huge.

    Everyone began to feel excited, because if they could also capture Lingqiu County, their forces would be able to be connected together, like a sharp knife, pressed against the chest of the Japanese army.

    "Then we are facing us" Kong Jie asked.

    ??

    "Okay! Let us take the initiative to attack and leave it to our independent regiment! But let's make an agreement first. Commander Xia, your rocket nest and artillery regiment must provide us with timely support." Li Yunlong said.

    When he fought in Taibai Mountain, he had already tasted how easy and simple an attack supported by artillery and rocket nests was.

    Xia Yang said: "Don't worry, we have enough fire support! Just be confident and bold."

    Less than five kilometers away from Hongquan Village are Xigouding and Suojian Mountains. Between the two mountains is the road connecting Lingqiu County and Laiyuan County.

    Normally, this road has frequent traffic, but recently, no caravans and pedestrians can be seen on this road.

    Because at this time, a large number of troops were stationed on both sides of the road.

    At the same time, there are also a large number of barbed wire fences and blockades on the highway.

    Three kilometers further along the road, you will find the Japanese army¡¯s forward position.

    Their forward positions are laid out along both sides of the highway. Each position is not only equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine gun firepower, but also includes a large number of combat anti-aircraft guns, mortars and grenade launchers.

    In addition, they also deployed a large number of minefields on the periphery of the position to prevent anyone from making sneak attacks in the dark.

    Several highlands along the highway have been turned into military fortresses of the Japanese army, armed to the teeth.

    There are more than a dozen highlands similar to this on both sides of the highway to the plain areas outside Lingqiu County.

    The two troops dispatched from the Chahar area also serve as mobile troops to support various positions at any time.

    In the early morning of the fourth day of the confrontation between the two sides, on the high ground on both sides of the Japanese army's highway, the Japanese army first discovered that less than 500 meters away from their position, the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army were walking towards them along both sides of the road.  Advance.

    Subsequently, the Japanese army also gradually discovered traces of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army in other highlands in the Yimaling area.

    These situations were quickly reported to Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the Fifth Division.

    At this time, Itagaki Seishiro's face had changed a lot compared to before he attacked Mount Taibai.  There were even a lot of white hairs on his temples.

    ? This is partly because of his age, and partly because of the disastrous failure he suffered in Taibai Mountain, which dealt a huge psychological blow to him.

    "The number of enemy troops is more than 10,000, and they appeared in front of many positions at the same time. Among them, the enemies on both sides of the road are the most numerous, which should be their main direction of attack." Nishimura Rion, the chief of staff of the Fifth Division, told Itagaki Seishiro  Reporting on the situation ahead in the early morning.

    Itagaki Seishiro stretched out his fingers and rubbed his bloodshot eyes.

    Last night, he almost didn't sleep all night. He had been combining the intelligence provided by the scout troops to analyze the various attack methods that Xia Yang might use.

    He knew that Xia Yang across from him was a person as cunning as a fox. Dealing with this kind of person is the most troublesome, because you never know what unexpected things he will do next.

    Therefore, it can be said that Itagaki Seishiro was cautious in dealing with Xia Yang.

    But what he didn¡¯t expect was that Xia Yang¡¯s first wave of attacks would be so simple and straightforward.  His main attacking force appeared in front of them.

      "Order the peripheral scout troops to appropriately expand the search area. I suspect that their attack on both sides of the road is just a feint attack, and the attack in the mountainous area is the main attack." Itagaki Seishiro said to Nishimura Toshion.

    Nishimura Riwen nodded and said: "Yes, division commander!!"

    The moment Nishimura Rion walked out of the headquarters, the roar of artillery came from the distance.

    That was the sound of the two artillery regiments led by Cai Heyuan, as well as the artillery battalions directly under each brigade of the Second Division, bombarding the Japanese positions.

    Hundreds of artillery pieces fired at the Japanese position at the same time, turning the Japanese position into a sea of ??fire.

    The artillery focused its bombardment on the highlands on both sides of the highway, and the Japanese positions deep in the mountains were also within its bombardment range.

    On the Japanese highlands on both sides of the road, the Yamada Volunteer Brigade stationed here was hiding in the trench, waiting for the end of the shelling.

    Many young Japanese soldiers in the trenches had never experienced such violent shelling.  A large amount of broken stones and flying soil fell from the sky on their helmets, making a clattering sound.

    "Why is the enemy's artillery fire so fierce?" asked a newly added soldier to the fifth division.

    A veteran of the Fifth Division next to him, who had fought with Seishiro Itagaki in the Battle of Nomonhan, said with disdain: "What is this? At Nomonhan, the Soviet artillery bombardment was so fierce.  .(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
