Xiao Yuebing said: "So what's the situation now? You always have the right to know, right?"
Xia Yang chuckled lightly, looked at the map and said: "So far, everything is going according to our previous plan."
Just as he said this, Wei Xing trotted over at this moment. When he saw Xia Yang, he said, "I took the bait."
Hearing these three words, Xia Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Starting to move?"
"Yes, and it moves very hard."
Wei Xing said, walked to the front of the map, pointed in the direction of Tianjin and Peking and said: "There are two divisions here, and they have been mobilized.
The Japanese troops in other directions tend to shrink their defenses at this time, but the Japanese troops around Langfang City are very active. "
Hearing these words, Xia Yang applauded and said: "Yes, the commander opposite is very capable.
He can see that Langfang City is a key node, and many of our elite troops are also concentrated in this area.
As for mobilizing the strength of two divisions, or even three divisions, to engage in a decisive battle with our troops, this is expected.
But I didn¡¯t expect that he asked other troops to shrink their defenses instead of taking the initiative.
This is a very experienced commander. "
Wei Xing said with a smile: "The name of the Japanese commander on the southern front is Taira Tianya. He has participated in many battles, but because of his age, he retired a few years ago.
The reason why they are coming out now is because their troops lack experienced senior commanders, so they can only let him come over to command the battle. "
¡°Hahaha, he¡¯s still an old devil.
? ?Looking at it this way, our opponent tonight needs to be treated with caution. "
Xia Yang said.
"Of course, this is not an issue that I need to consider. Let Mr. Peng and the others worry about it."
As he was speaking, the troops on both sides of the southern front were maneuvering rapidly in this wilderness.
The forces of the two Japanese divisions are moving rapidly towards Langfang City.
Hao Shiwen was on the outskirts of Langfang City, commanding this battle.
Although the battle outside Langfang City was not their most important action tonight, it was also one of the most important actions.
Not to mention anything else, the geographical location of Langfang City can connect the transportation lines of Pingjin and Beiping areas. This is worthy of them investing enough troops here tonight to fight the Japanese army.
Although their exposed troops now only have five regiments of troops, in other directions, they still have many troops hiding in the night, but they have never received his order to attack, so they have been hiding. Let the Japanese army discover their existence.
Hao Shiwen was waiting, waiting for other Japanese troops to mobilize.
Now, the two divisions of the Japanese army have moved towards Langfang City from their two directions.
For Hao Shiwen, this is the emergence of fighter planes.
Even if there is no order from the rear headquarters, he now knows what to do.
¡°The enemy¡¯s two divisions are now approaching Langfang City rapidly.
If nothing else happens, our troops on the periphery will encounter the enemy's troops in about two hours. "
His guard said as he presented the information to him at this moment.
Hao Shiwen looked at the map, and then said: "Well done, surround the point for reinforcements. This time we will try our best to consume the effective strength of the Japanese army outside Langfang City."
With that said, he said to the staff officer on the side: "Pass my order to all the troops hidden in the southwest and northwest to launch an attack according to the original plan.
The troops hidden on the road that the two Japanese divisions must pass through immediately built defensive positions to block the Japanese advance.
At the same time, we called for artillery fire support from our rear and launched a fierce bombardment on the main position of the Japanese 122nd Division.
We must defeat the Japanese 122nd Division before dawn. "
"yes!!!"
The staff officer beside him responded immediately.
With the issuance of Hao Shiwen's order, the Fourth Army troops that were originally hidden in the darkness, as well as several units of the Eighth Route Army, all moved at this time.
The Japanese army would never have thought that the troops Hao Shiwen had assembled near Langfang City were not the seven they thought.Eight thousand people, but more than 40,000 people.
There are part of the garrison division of the Fourth Army, the support force of the Eighth Route Army, and the teams they established after being supplemented by the militia.
Compared with regular troops, the combat effectiveness of militia teams is slightly lower, but they are all soldiers who have undergone long-term military training.
Generally speaking, if the regular army at the front is depleted, these militiamen will be asked to act as reserve troops to replenish them at any time.
The biggest gap between these troops and the regular army lies more in equipment and combat experience.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of these troops, Hao Shiwen and He Changxing specially added commanders for them.
These commanders can improve the combat effectiveness of the militia units accordingly, especially their combat experience, which is a very valuable asset to these militia units.
The strength of more than 40,000 troops may not sound large, but if combined with their troops operating in other directions, they can form a huge force.
Fifteen kilometers away from Langfang City, on both sides of a road leading to Langfang City, a militia regiment under the Fourth Army and a regiment under the Eighth Route Army are jointly building defensive positions.
This militia group was originally affiliated with Baoding, Hebei Province. Now after being urgently reorganized, it came to the Pingjin area to fight.
Li Gui'an, the leader of the militia group, was originally a deputy leader of a security division. He has also experienced several battles and has very rich combat experience.
There were more than a dozen commanders who came with him, mainly officers at the battalion and company level.
They were transferred to this Baoding militia group more than half a month ago, and were trained, fed, and housed with all the soldiers in this unit.
For more than half a month, regiment leader Li Gui'an and his subordinate commanders have successfully integrated with the soldiers here.
"Lao Li, do you have any extra mortars here? Give me two."
The speaker was Zhang Guofu, the leader of the Eighth Route Army¡¯s Northern Hebei Advance Regiment.
He is thin and skinny, with dark and yellow skin, like the land beneath his feet.
Although he was the commander of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army at this time emphasized "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." This regiment leader also had his own land and needed to cultivate it himself. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
