When the afterglow of the setting sun slowly dimmed, the Japanese planes that had been searching for the whole day returned to their nest.
Jingle Bell!
The phone on Ichiro Hirata's desk rang, and Ichiro Hirata picked up the phone: "I'm Ichiro Hirata."
The voice on the phone was not the voice of a superior, but the voice of an officer from the airport: "Mr. Hirata, the returning pilot reported that no trace of Tubal Road was found today."
"Thank you." Ichiro Hirata thanked him.
After the phone call ended, Ichiro Hirata was not worried because he had not found Tubal Road, but became more relaxed.
Planes were circling in the sky today, so the new regiment on Tubal Road must be hiding and not daring to march.
They were delayed for a whole day. Judging from the time, even if they seize the time to march at night, even if they can rush to the city before the arrival of reinforcements from the seventh route, they will not have enough time to capture the county seat and evacuate.
In other words, Hirata Ichiro no longer has to worry about Tobali coming to attack the city.
All he needed to do was to urge Jiang Deshui and the others.
Ichiro Hirata has already sent Jiang Deshui and the others out to search for traces of the new regiment of Tubal Road in the He family stronghold.
Once the whereabouts of the Tubal New First Regiment were locked, a group of aircraft was sent to suppress them. The seven ground reinforcements quickly moved towards the main position of the Tubal New Regiment to encircle and annihilate them.
Ichiro Hirata wanted a quick victory, so he had no time to play the slow tactic of enveloping the enemy with the Tobalo Shinichi Regiment and gradually compressing the encirclement.
Ichiro Hirata picked up the phone on the table and connected to a base near the He family's base.
Jiang Deshui and the others left people in this stronghold.
As soon as the call came through, Hirata Ichiro asked: "How is it? It's been a day today. Have you found the main force of the new group of Tubal Road?"
"Sir, they haven't sent anyone back yet, I'm still waiting." the other person on the phone replied.
"Well, once Jiang Deshui sends someone to verify the news, he will report to me immediately." Hirata Ichiro said calmly.
"yes."
…
Jiang Deshui, Noda and others have already searched several abandoned villages.
They found landfilled pots and stoves, the traces of which were still fresh.
There are a lot of pots and stoves. At a glance, there must be two to three hundred.
Jiang Deshui was overjoyed. This must be the pot that the main force of the new group on Tubal Road dug up.
"Sir, the statistics are out, there are 309 pots and stoves in total." The puppet soldiers who counted the number came to report to Jiang Deshui.
"Three hundred and nine pots and stoves, calculated according to ten people per stove, that is more than 3,000 people." Jiang Deshui said with surprise on his face, "It seems that the Tubal Road New Regiment did not lie in the statement of war. They The strength of our troops is really more than a thousand, and Taijun Hirata’s strategy of requesting a large number of reinforcements from his superiors is correct.”
"Sir, do we want to continue the search?" the puppet soldier asked.
"Of course you do, but be careful. The stove is still warm and Tubal Road is not far away. Don't alert them." Jiang Deshui said.
"Yes." The puppet soldiers immediately searched carefully.
"Taijun, we can report to Taijun Hirata." Jiang Deshui said to Noda, "We can now predict roughly where they are."
"Yo Xi." Noda said to Jiang Deshui: "Jiang Jun, you continue to search, I will report to the captain."
"yes."
Noda rushed to the base as quickly as possible and used the base's phone to call Ichiro Hirata immediately.
Jingle Bell!
Ichiro Hirata was standing by the phone. When the phone rang, he had a hunch that Jiang Deshui must have found the main force of Tubal Road.
Picking up the phone, before Ichiro Hirata could say anything, Noda's excited voice came from the phone: "Captain, we have found the pot stoves left on Tubal Road. The number is 309. According to ten people per stove, The strength of the new regiment on Tubal Road is more than 3,000 men."
"More than three thousand people?" Ichiro Hirata looked solemn upon hearing this.
When the report was reported from the He family stronghold, the new regiment had only more than a thousand troops.
Now, Jiang Deshui reported that there were more than 3,000 people.
It seems that the main force of the new group should have come out.
"Captain, some pots and stoves are still warm. The main force of the new regiment on Tuba Road has traveled less than ten kilometers at most. I have judged their general range, from Hejiawan to Zhangjiakou." Noda said, "Jiang Deshui has sent People continue to search. If they find Tubal Road, they will follow them secretly and provide the latest location of the main force of Tubal Road at any time."
"Yo Xi." Hirata Ichiro said with satisfaction, "Remember, don't alert Tubalu."
"Hai."
"You guys go ahead. The location of Tubal Road must be locked before dawn. Then I will contact the aviation force to suppress them with planes so that they can't move. Then seven reinforcements will surround them. This new group of Tubal Road will be the turtle in the urn!" Ichiro Hirata! road.
"Hai."
Ichiro Hirata ended the call and drew a circle on the map from Hejiawan to Zhangjiakou with a pen.
This Tubal Road is not running very slowly. It is already quite a distance from the He family's stronghold.
It is also further away from Heyuan County.
Obviously, they were delayed by a plane during the day, and the Tubal New Group obviously realized that they would not have enough time to capture the county seat and moved, so they wanted to move and run away.
Now that you're out, don't go back.
Ichiro Hirata did not hesitate and immediately shook the phone again to contact the aviation force.
…
358 regiment
"Regiment seat, the artillery battalion is ready." The artillery battalion commander reported to the regiment commander Chu Yunfei.
"Hit me hard." Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "Tear open the enemy's defense line and provide conditions for the infantry's attack!"
"Yes." The artillery battalion commander responded and immediately ordered: "Fire!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The artillery of the 358th Regiment roared, and the shells exploded into balls of fire in the dark night.
Under the illumination of the fire, the bunker fortifications of the Japanese traitors were quickly destroyed, and the rubble and flesh were mixed together.
"First Battalion, charge!" Qian Bojun, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment, saw the artillery tearing apart the defense line and immediately ordered an attack.
"Second Battalion, come up." The commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 358th Regiment did not lag behind either.
"Special Agent Battalion, attack!"
…
The defenders of the stronghold attacked by the 358th Regiment were quickly broken in by the 358th Regiment because their defense was empty. They were forced to retreat and abandon the stronghold. The 358th Regiment took the opportunity to regain the lost ground.
In addition to the 358th Regiment, the national army troops in six other counties, including Anhua County and Quan County, all received approval from Shangfeng and launched attacks that night.
All participating troops attacked fiercely.
