Facing the cheers of the warriors in the city, Mr. Sakai led a flying formation of more than 30 aircraft to fly around the whole city. When they left, they flapped their wings like a cock, completely igniting the morale of the defenders in the city!
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live the Air Warriors!"
…
He Zhenhua couldn't stand the way the Japanese were showing off, so he suggested to Chu Xiong:
"Captain, don't we still have 8 Wei Yixiao Cannons? Give them a guy to make the turtle son crazy!"
Chu Xiong said disapprovingly:
"Old He, there is no need. Let them go wild for a while. These eight cannons are still of great use. Let the Japanese think that our artillery position has been blown up and there are no cannons. This way we can trick the Japanese!"
He Zhenhua thought about it. He had finally deceived the Japanese plane by acting, so how could he easily expose his hidden artillery?
"A little impatience will mess up a big plan. Compared to the leader, I am still a lot younger!"
"Old He, without artillery, we can't attack Anping City now. We will turn to siege warfare and dig fortifications along the east, west and south directions;
All the trees in the grove that were blown down by the Japanese will be used to build civil engineering works. Just send a company to launch a feint attack on Anping City every day, setting up a long-term siege, and besiege three towers one by one! "
As Chuxiong adjusted his tactics, the Eighth Route Army began to shift into siege warfare. Trenches were being dug everywhere outside the city, but the north was quiet.
The unusual movements outside the city soon spread to the city. Inukai Ichiro became a lot more humble after suffering a loss. Chuxiong was indeed more difficult to deal with than he thought, and his attitude towards Nakata Kenhiro was also good. A lot.
"Nakata-kun, after the Eighth Route Army's artillery was blown up by the Air Warriors, their attack power was greatly reduced. It is estimated that they cannot attack Anping City;
They are digging a lot of fortifications outside the city, leaving the north gate without any movement. You have dealt with Chu Xiong a lot, what do you think his true intention is? "
Seeing that Inukai was finally serious about reality, Nakata stopped talking to him and said in a slightly showy manner:
"Inukai-kun, this is a siege of three towers, and the north gate is deliberately left as a retreat to break up the struggle of the imperial army. As long as there is a retreat, the determination of the warriors to fight to the death will decrease;
In the previous two Anping battles, Chu Xiong adopted this move. It seemed to leave a way for the imperial army to retreat, but in fact it was not the case. They might set up an ambush a few kilometers behind the north gate to attack our retreating soldiers. "
Major Inukai nodded in agreement and said to Nakata:
"Yo Xi, Chuxiong is cunning and cunning, and Mr. Nakata understands him, so we can cope with all changes by remaining unchanged. We will have great merit in defending Anping City."
Nakata looked at Inukai with stars in his eyes. As for whether it was true or not, only he knew it. He casually threw a hat to Inukai:
"Inukai-kun is indeed the elite of the empire. He understands the problem deeply and grasps Chu Xiong's seven inches in an instant;
As long as Anping City is defended, no matter what tricks Chuxiong plays, it will be in vain. I leave it to Inu Yangjun to defend the city. The combat effectiveness of the field brigade is indeed beyond the reach of our garrison brigade! "
After Nakata finished speaking, he bowed to Inukai in a serious manner, and Inukai quickly bowed in return. It seemed that he didn't take advantage of anything. This time he came to persuade Nakata to take over the city wall protection and Inukai. The team came to take a break.
It's a pity that Nakata is not only very smooth, but also thick-skinned...
"Bagayalu, Nakata's conscience is greatly damaged, you are the Anping Defense Brigade!"
Inukai left almost in anger, and Nakata, the bastard, didn't even give him a chance to speak.
Nakata waited until Inukai left. His waist, which was bent due to bowing, straightened up. A meaningful smile appeared in his eyes, and he said secretly:
"Inukai-kun, Chu Xiong is far more cunning than you think. If he wants to Anping City, the imperial army may not be able to defend it even if it adds another brigade. The north gate is the way for me, Nakata, to save my life!"
At the enemy command post in front of the Independent Regiment, He Zhenhua hurried in with an anxious look on his face. Before he could speak, Chu Xiong handed him a glass of warm water.
After He Zhenhua took it, he drank it all and said directly to Chu Xiong:
"Captain, no, there is a group of Japs coming through. Their target should be the slope at the entrance to Wangjiawa. Once occupied by them, our retreat back to the base area will be blocked by the Japs!
In addition, inside information passed on from the regiment headquarters was that five brigades of the Japanese Independent Fifth Brigade, with more than 6,000 people, also rushed towards Anping City. They were preparing to make dumplings for us. "
Chu Xiong quickly looked at the map to find the location of the Fifth Brigade. He Zhenhua also came over and marked the latest Japanese location on the map with a pen.
"There are still five hours' journey at most. The Japs who have crossed into Wangjiawa are probably also a brigade of the Fifth Independent Brigade. They will cut off our retreat first, and then press heavy troops from our left flank;
When the time comes, there is Anping Fortress in front, and behind it is a cliff that is not suitable for the army to maneuver. On the left is the Japanese army, and on the right is a large group of Japanese soldiers who have penetrated into place. We are really made dumplings by the Japanese!
The best result is to break it into pieces and break out from the back mountain. There are cliffs. If you can break through three to five hundred people, it is considered good. "
"Haha, this is probably Xiao Zhuoyi's true intention. No wonder he added a brigade of defense force to Anping City by increasing troops and reducing firepower."
Youdao is that the unknown danger is the greatest danger. Now Xiao Zhuoyi's plan has been revealed, and his strategic intention has been undoubtedly exposed!
After understanding the true intentions of the Japanese, Chu Xiong felt much more at ease.
"Captain, you can still laugh. Many of our more than 3,000 people are disguised as militiamen. We have a fortified city in front of us and heavy troops around us. This is a taboo for military strategists!
I suggest taking advantage of the fact that the brigade that the Japanese have penetrated has not arrived yet, and quickly retreats towards Wangjiawa. In terms of time, there is still enough time, and at most we can have an encounter;
A brigade of more than 3,000 people has a great chance of winning against the Japanese. Once they are interspersed in place and field fortifications are built, the narrow terrain of Wangjiawa means that even if the fourth battalion comes from the base area to support them, it will be useless. "
He Zhenhua still had two skills, and he quickly came up with a response plan. Although the losses in the encounter were heavy, there was still hope for removing more than half of the people!
"Old He, don't worry, it's not easy for us to leave? Let's attack Anping City directly!
Just half of the field brigade and a garrison brigade in Anping City can't stop more than 3,000 of us! "
"If the Japanese want to cut off our retreat, let them cut it off. Let's continue repairing the fortifications. Don't worry, I won't give them the chance to besiege us!"
"The devil's cards have been played. Now it's our turn to play. You forgot that we still have a pair of king bombs in our hands!"
"To generate electricity for the regiment headquarters, just three words: Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"
Chu Xiong started to play his cards...
