Dragon Boat Festival's layout forced Xiong Chuan to send people out of the city to check, and this played into Dragon Boat Festival's wishes.
The enemy is very powerful. If you can't take one bite, then take it one bite at a time.
Of course, the Japs in Feicheng are not as powerful as they seem. The Japanese Eleventh Regiment suffered heavy losses in the battle at Pingxing Pass. An infantry regiment lost nearly one-third of its strength. Although it was replenished later, it was only the strength of two full infantry brigades. And the soldiers were demoralized.
In addition, in the battle in Dongping County, the Eleventh Regiment lost two more Japanese squadrons, and the morale of the entire regiment became even lower.
Therefore, when Dragon Boat Festival came to fight Feicheng, he didn't just come to fight on the spur of the moment. He had carefully considered it beforehand.
But he didn't expect that the Xiongchuan Japs would be so cooperative and deliberately disperse their troops to create opportunities for him. And at this time, the four city gates can still enter and exit normally. Dragon Boat Festival really doesn’t want to say that this Xiong Chuan is just a pig.
However, he liked the pig better. It would be great if the Japanese and Japanese soldiers outside the city asked for help from the city after being attacked. The little devils came out of the city one after another to kill people, and Sun Shiyu collected them one after another outside the city. Thinking about the Dragon Boat Festival makes me feel happy.
However, he felt that this seemed unlikely. Even if Xiong Chuan was really a pig, he would probably become smarter after being beaten, right?
Duanwu dipped his fingers in the water in the tea bowl and used them to calculate on the table. And if Ma Ping'an's information is correct, then there are probably between 1,300 and 1,400 Japs in the city. The number of puppet troops will not exceed four hundred. (Because part of the puppet army in Dongping County ran away and part of it defected to the Independent Regiment.)
And coupled with a team of more than 300 traitor agents, the number of Japanese puppet troops and traitors in the city is only about 2,000 at most.
Excluding the extremely low combat effectiveness of the traitors and puppet troops, the real enemies he had to face were only more than 1,300 Japanese. And he brought three thousand people.
"Two to one, this battle is a fight."
Duanwu showed a mysterious smile, and then continued drinking tea with Tang Jiujiu beside him. And he had no intention of leaving.
At this moment, Ma Ping'an came back, carrying a large rattan box.
The box is placed on the table and you can feel its weight.
Ma Pingan said: "Brother Duanwu, this is the biggest radio station I can find in the city."
"kindness!"
Duanwu responded, then opened the rattan box and said, "With him, it will be convenient."
Before entering the city at Dragon Boat Festival, he did not think about commanding in the city. After conducting reconnaissance, he would go out of the city and join his troops.
Because it was not easy to carry the radio when going into the city, I gave up at that time. But I didn't want to meet Ma Ping'an in the city, which would be much more convenient. He took the radio and sent it directly to Sun Shiyu, asking him to wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city. However, he had to give the little devil a chance to ask for help.
Let them scream and howl outside the city, and let the Japanese see that there are not many enemy troops outside the city, just a small force. ambushing their men.
Sun Shiyu was surprised at first after receiving the Dragon Boat Festival order. Because the group did not bring a radio with them when they entered the city. And we agreed to leave the city. But he didn't want to but sent a telegram directly to the city.
Of course, this telegram cannot be faked. Because the independent group not only has an independent secret code, but also has the password for the Dragon Boat Festival, which can confirm that this telegram was sent by the group.
So Sun Shiyu quickly made arrangements and ordered one company of the second battalion to ambush and one company to cut off the little Japanese's retreat. And a platoon was transferred from the artillery battalion as fire support. The remaining people were all hiding and preparing to ambush the enemy's reinforcements.
Everything was ready, and they set up an ambush five kilometers outside Feicheng.
And this is also the arrangement made during the Dragon Boat Festival. Because the ambush site was too far away from Feicheng, the Japs might not dare to go out of the city for rescue, so Duanwu set the ambush site five kilometers outside the city.
Here, it is surrounded by mountains on both sides and a mountain road in the middle. And then extending in the direction of Feicheng, there are all woods. The edge of the woods extends to a position more than 500 meters away from Feicheng. And further forward, there are waist-high wormwood and sand and gravel, making it extremely difficult to hide. And especially the last three hundred meters away from the city wall, it was almost all gravel, not even a bit of wormwood that could cover a person.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Dragon Boat Festival asked the spy battalion to select capable members to sneak into the city. When the troops outside the city charged, they quickly rushed out from the back of the little Japanese and opened the south city gate.
The cavalry will charge at this time, and they can rush in from a distance of 300 meters in less than ten seconds. And things will be easier to handle after that. Instead of fighting the Japs, the cavalry battalion first went to attack the Japs and traitors, and defeated these stragglers until they were completely defeated, allowing the Japs to send people to rescue them.
At this time, the cavalry withdrew, attracting the Japanese to the south gate, and then used the spy battalion that had arrived in Feicheng as the main force to ambush.
The main task of the second battalion is the city wall, using its superior firepower to attract the little devils to continuously invest their troops in the battle for the city wall. At this time, the cavalry cooperated with Lao Snoring's spy battalion to attack the Japanese headquarters, which made the little devils tired of dealing with it and tired of deploying troops. And as long as the little devil gets moving, there will be many places where Dragon Boat Festival can operate.
So this little fat city really didn't pay attention to the Dragon Boat Festival.
Sitting at the Osmanthus Blossom Tower in Feicheng during the Dragon Boat Festival, listening to the sound of gunfire five kilometers outside the city, he knew that Sun Shiyu's battle had begun.
Sun Shiyu ambushed a battalion of the puppet army, and a squadron of the Japs walked behind, so the losses in the ambush were not great.
They left the two Japs behind and ran towards Feicheng, which was what the old Japs from Xiongchuan had told them. Once you encounter an enemy ambush, don't worry about the Imperial Alliance Army. You must quickly retreat to Feicheng to preserve your strength.
So, that's what the little devils who came out of the city did. When they saw the Imperial Alliance Army being ambushed, they originally wanted to rush to the rescue, but when they saw the enemy's firepower was very fierce, they immediately retreated.
But even so, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers died in the retreat.
Afterwards, they were attacked by enemy troops from the direction of Feicheng and were suppressed in a natural shape of only half a meter high, covering an area of about 500 square meters.
While the commander of the little devil ordered the little devil to shoot to stop the enemy's attack, he picked up the walkie-talkie on the radio and shouted for help: "Call headquarters, call headquarters, we encountered an enemy ambush outside the city. The Imperial Alliance Army is probably finished. , but my squadron still retains a very complete organization. We are just outside the city, about four kilometers away. Please ask Mr. Xiongchuan to send someone to reinforce us, please!"
