After glancing at the senior officers of the Independent Regiment present, Chen Feng coughed and then began to report on the detected situation.

"The terrain of Yushe County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and because it is an important military station for the Japanese army, the Japanese army has strengthened its defenses."

"The terrain in the east, south and north of the city is narrow and not suitable for large-scale attacks."

"There is a sentry post on the high ground to the south, and to the north there is an open area except for a few small ditches and graveyards."

"Only at the west gate can large troops hide and approach the city for siege."

"The Japanese army's defense is very tight. Stationed in the city is the Fujimoto Squadron of the 4th Brigade Itazin Brigade."

"This is an elite Japanese reinforced squadron with more than 220 people, in addition to more than 130 puppet troops."

"The Japanese army's headquarters is at Yushe Middle School. According to the intelligence we obtained, Captain Fujimoto is studying architecture."

"Not only the city wall was strengthened, but Yushe Middle School and his headquarters were also built to be impregnable."

"There are eight blockhouses at the commanding heights under the city wall, two each in the east, west, and south. There are also two strongholds at Wangjing and Yanhua on the periphery."

"Part of the Japanese and puppet troops from the two strongholds have been transferred away, and the number of Japanese and puppet troops is around 40."

"In terms of firepower, in addition to light and heavy machine guns, there are 2 mountain cannons, 2 infantry guns, and 6 mortars in the city."

"In addition to conventional artillery shells, the Japanese army also prepared poison gas bombs and gas masks."

"The Japanese army warehouse is very close to Yushe Middle School. In addition to the food and ammunition prepared for transfer, the food and ammunition used by soldiers are also stored based on the defenders' consumption for half a year."

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and several battalion company commanders all had their eyes lit up after hearing this.

Good guy, if the Independent Regiment can capture Yushe County, wouldn't it instantly become a local tycoon force?

Zhang Dabiao's eyes flashed slightly: "How do you know so clearly about the situation in Yushe County?"

It only took half a day to figure out the terrain, the number of defenders, and the firepower of Yushe County. Isn't this incredible?

"We arrested the company commander who was guarding the county town, and before we even questioned him, he fully explained everything himself." Duan Peng explained.

Of course, he silenced himself afterwards and acted without anyone noticing. Traitors who could reach the level of a company commander often did bad things and died unjustly.

Li Yunlong nodded, the situation in Yushe County was clear.

They were less than ten miles away from the county seat, so they had an arrow on the string and had to take action.

"What we want to discuss now is how to capture the county seat and minimize casualties." Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly and turned everyone's attention back to how to fight this battle.

After hearing Li Yunlong's words, everyone was quiet for a moment, and then everyone looked solemn.

The impregnable county town is not as easy to fight as the stronghold!

"Captain, you ask the artillery company to provide artillery support, and I will lead a battalion to capture the county seat!"

Zhang Dabiao spoke first. He chuckled and said: "We now have three mountain cannons, two infantry level cannons, and more than a dozen mortars. We have enough shells to shoot them directly at the city wall."

"Old Zhang, you want to capture the county seat with just one battalion." Shen Quan squinted his eyes and doubted, "It's not that easy, is it?"

"That's right!" Guan Dashan said, "We have mountain cannons, and the Japanese also have them. We still shoot from top to bottom. We may not be able to gain advantage under the city wall."

Zhang Dabiao asked: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Guan Dashan: "If you want me to say..."

"Stop talking!" Li Yunlong glared, "Cancel the discussion and let me assign the tasks directly."

Li Yunlong didn't like the term "military democracy" very much. Letting them speak was just a sign of going through the motions.

One idea to the east, another idea to the west, all talking at all times, it’s almost annoying to death.

As soon as he spoke, several battalion commanders who participated in the discussion obediently shut up.

"The engineering company blocked all roads within ten miles around the county seat and laid mines at major intersections."

"The fourth battalion and three companies will find a position along the highway to block the reinforcements. Within 12 hours, not a single Japanese will be allowed to enter Yushe County."

"Concentrate our forces to take out the two strongholds outside first."

"Then all the attacking troops will be divided into four points: east, west, north and south. They will attack at the same time. Whoever breaks in first will be credited with great merit."

"Remember, the troops who attack first should not rush in deep. First, they should make a detour along the city wall, kill the defensive troops on the wall, open the city gate and then attack deep from four directions, compress the enemy in the center, and finally clean up. Lose."

Zhao Gang frowned slightly and said: "Commander, you must always choose a main attack direction, concentrate the main force in Xiguan, and send small groups of troops to the other three points to feint attack, making it difficult for the enemy to judge the main attack direction."

Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, your tactics are too rigid. This time the ratio of our forces is 7:1. The enemy's peripheral forces are very weak on the city wall. We use all our forces to attack from all sides, and every point is the main attack direction. , the enemy has no choice but to turn every point into a key defense point, but the enemy has few troops and we have more troops, so we will definitely take advantage. This matter is settled, adjourn the meeting!"

After the meeting, the special operations battalion was assigned the task of siege of Ximen.

For the attacker, no matter which direction it is, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Compared with other directions, the west gate is slightly easier to attack.

Li Yunlong also hoped that Wei Dayong could take the lead in attacking the city and then help deal with the enemies in other directions.

Before attacking the county seat, the two outer strongholds must be eliminated first.

The special operations battalion attacked Wang Jing's stronghold. In addition to the original artillery battery, Li Yunlong assigned Wei Dayong a mountain cannon and an infantry cannon for offensive use.

Wang Jing's stronghold is in the west of the county seat, only five miles away from the county seat, guarding the intersection and traffic arteries.

Originally, there were about 100 garrison troops, but 60 of them were taken away, and now there are still 40 Japanese and puppet troops.

The battle first started at Wang Jing's stronghold.

The large force was discovered by the Japanese and traitors when they approached 1,000 meters from the stronghold. The light and heavy machine guns in the firing holes of the gun towers and bunkers opened fire almost simultaneously.

In an instant, gunshots like exploding beans were heard from another direction along the Hua Stronghold.

Hiroshi Onoda, the Japanese squad leader stationed at the Wangjing stronghold, looked out through the shooting hole with a telescope in the gun tower.

The densely packed Eighth Route Army figures almost filled the empty fields.

Hiroshi Onoda felt so cold that he pushed the telephone soldier away and grabbed the phone receiver.

"Moses Moses!"

"Lieutenant Fujimoto, I am Hiroshi Onoda at Wang Jing's stronghold. The stronghold was attacked by eight forces. There are 500 people in the force. Please provide tactical guidance!"

Fujimoto's voice rang on the phone: "Ono-kun, stand firm and wait for help!"

Onoda Hirono paused and said: "Hai!"

As soon as he put down the phone, a soldier said: "Report to the squad leader, the enemy is building an artillery position!"

"Nani?"

Ono's expression changed, and he quickly picked up the telescope and started observing.

A thousand meters away, several mortars from the Eighth Route Army were almost ready, and then a mountain cannon and an infantry cannon were dragged in.

Mountain cannon!

Infantry artillery!
