    Faced with such a multiple-choice question, the Central China Front Army Headquarters had no choice. If the bombing continued, the aviation casualties might be beyond imagination. However, if the bombing was abandoned and returned, the troops on the Bengbu front line would tremble under the artillery attack of the defenders.

    After thinking again and again, Yan Junliu decided to order the aviation force to return immediately. The reason was simple. From the difficulty of training and the price of equipment, the aviation force was still far stronger than the infantry. There was no comparability between the two, so the infantry could only be sacrificed.

    What¡¯s more, if the infantry suffers too many casualties, you can suspend the attack. After all, the heavy artillery regiment transferred to them by the front army is already on the way. It is expected to arrive at the Bengbu front line on April 14. If it doesn¡¯t work, just stop.

    As long as the heavy artillery regiment arrives at the front line, with the power and super long range of the heavy artillery, it will not be a piece of cake with the small-caliber mountain artillery of the defenders!

    After receiving the telegram from the front army headquarters, Yoshizumi Ryosuke angrily chopped up the terrain sand table in the headquarters, but he was still helpless!

    Knowing that without artillery cover, the frontline troops would only suffer additional casualties, Yoshizumi Ryosuke had no choice but to issue an order to stop the attack!

    After stopping the attack, both sides were like two ferocious beasts after a bloody battle. They all cowered up and licked their wounds, but no one dared to be careless and waited for the next confrontation!

    The Japanese army suddenly stopped attacking, which indeed gave the defenders a chance to breathe. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to immediately treat the wounded and repair the fortifications at the same time.

    By the way, in the evening, Li Guoyao also called together the commanders of various brigades and regiments for a brief meeting. He judged that the Japanese army might be waiting for someone else when they suddenly stopped attacking. Judging from the current situation, it should be reinforcements, but he just didn't know.  Is it infantry or other arms.

    However, being surrounded by the Japanese army, they had no choice but to remain unchanged in response to the ever-changing situation. In order to prevent the little Japs from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Li Guoyao ordered each regiment commander to immediately send gas masks to the front-line positions.  Gas bombs.

    At the same time, all units must seize the time to repair their fortifications, otherwise the battle will become even more difficult to fight when Japanese reinforcements arrive.

    The only good thing is that the 13th is coming soon. If he persists for three more days, his mission will be completed, and he will be able to counterattack then!

    The reason why we have to wait until the 15th to counterattack is mainly to be safe. After all, counterattacks are risky. If you are not careful, the little devils may invade Bengbu City, so you can only wait for this bullshit mission to be completed before counterattacking. That way  No matter whether he fights well or badly, Li Guoyao will not have to bear the punishment of failure.

    On the 13th, the front line was surprisingly quiet. The Japs did not attack and the defenders did not fight back. The two sides faced each other several kilometers away. Even though they clearly saw the defenders repairing the fortifications, the Japanese did not stop them.

    "But the more this happened, the more uneasy Li Guoyao felt. He knew better than anyone what the little devils were like. They were a bunch of brainwashed war machines. They would not stop attacking unless absolutely necessary.

    And the battle of Bengbu is of great importance now. Even if there are heavy casualties, the Japanese army will not stop the attack casually.

    Now the entire battlefield is surprisingly quiet, and there is still no sign of attack day by day. This is extraordinary.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to closely monitor the movements in the direction of Chuxian County. Soon, at about four o'clock in the afternoon on the 13th, news came. Not long ago, a group of uninvited guests came to Chuxian County - Japanese heavy artillery troops.  .

    According to the information obtained by intelligence personnel, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, more than a hundred Japanese six-wheel trucks appeared in Chuxian County. These trucks were all carrying Japanese soldiers, and behind the trucks were towing a large number of  large caliber artillery.

    The only regrettable thing is that the intelligence personnel of the 7th Division were not knowledgeable enough and did not recognize what kind of artillery the Japanese army was towing.

    However, Li Guoyao suddenly became dull after listening to their description. If he guessed correctly, it should be the Japanese heavy artillery. There are 105mm caliber howitzers and 150mm caliber heavy cannons. Of course, there are also mountain artillery and field artillery to assist the attack.  Quite a few.

    At this time, Li Guoyao suddenly understood that the Japanese army was waiting for the heavy artillery troops!

    Thinking of the power of the Japanese heavy artillery, Li Guoyao suddenly fell silent. That was a heavy artillery. Even the bunkers outside Bengbu City were very strong, but they could not withstand the attack of heavy artillery. Basically, one or two cannons could destroy one.

    In addition, the range of heavy artillery is usually more than ten kilometers away, which is far beyond the range of mountain artillery and field artillery. Therefore, once the Japanese heavy artillery arrives,On the battlefield, the consequences are disastrous.

    Li Guoyao knew that he had to find a way to prevent the Japanese heavy artillery regiment from marching north to Bengbu City, but after much deliberation, there was no good way, because the Japanese heavy artillery regiment did not only consist of artillery. Every time they fought, there was usually an infantryman beside them.  A regiment or infantry brigade accompanies the army for protection.

    So if you want to intercept the opponent, you can't do it without five or six thousand people or even more people. After thinking about it again and again, Li Guoyao decided to let the opponent come over first and then counterattack in advance.

    Li Guoyao had been thinking about the counterattack for many days, and finally decided to use the Jiangnan guerrillas. Lu Wenlong and Jiang Feng had been recuperating in the mountains for several months, and it was time to take action.

    ??And Xifengtou and Cishan are not far from Chu County, the straight-line distance is only more than 30 kilometers. Although they are separated by several mountains, they can be reached in a few hours if they march quickly.

    The most important thing is that the Japanese army does not know their existence. The real enemy is overt and covert. Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when Chu County's garrison troops are empty at this time, they send troops to conquer Chu County in one fell swoop and take away the lair of the little Japs.

    As the logistics base of the Japanese army in Bengbu battlefield, Chu County has hoarded a large amount of Japanese army grain, grass and ammunition. As long as it is conquered there, the Japanese army will inevitably fall into the dilemma of running out of ammunition in a short time, even if they don't want to withdraw their troops.

    In addition, the Duba Brigade still has ten thousand people in Taoshan. This part of the force has been resting for several days and can also give the little Japanese a surprise.

    However, because the Japs were too strong on the Bengbu front line, the counterattack could only be limited and could not completely annihilate them.

    At six o'clock in the afternoon on the 13th, Li Guoyao personally called the Jiangnan guerrillas and ordered them to immediately assemble their troops, secretly assemble on the outskirts of Chuxian County, and launch an attack on the Japanese troops in Chuxian County on the night of April 14th. The specific tactical arrangements were formulated by the Jiangnan guerrillas themselves.  .

    At the same time, Li Guoyao issued a new combat order to the Duba Brigade, requiring them to gather all the cavalry and then go south through the mountainous areas. When the Jiangnan guerrillas attacked Chuxian, they launched an attack on Nanqiao and killed the Japanese in Nanqiao.  Catch them all in one fell swoop.

    The main force of the Duba Brigade is setting up an ambush on the front line of Zomaling, waiting for the Japanese Chongteng Detachment to withdraw south. Once the Chongteng Detachment withdraws from the front line, it will be wiped out.

    Thinking about it, if the Shigeto detachment is completely wiped out, then the old devil Yoshizumi Ryosuke will not dare to jump around anymore, and Bengbu will be saved!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
