Chapter 154 Don’t worry, the county will be gone soon
In the temporary command center, everyone nodded excitedly when they heard the news. This was exciting good news for everyone.
"Okay, with the support of our superiors, we don't have to worry about the enemy's reinforcements anymore!"
"It's true. The superiors still think highly of this guy's abilities!"
"..."
For a moment, the leaders of the visiting group all had surprise in their eyes and spoke one after another. Although there was a hint of joking in their words, the approval in their eyes was undisguised.
At the same time, the guards quickly returned to the regiment headquarters after hearing the news. However, the cavalry battalion was too far away and could not meet up with the regiment headquarters in time.
When Qin Hai learned of this, he immediately nodded to show his understanding.
"In that case, let's not wait for them!" Qin Hai said, holding the revised battle plan and walked up to the guard regiment cadres.
"Comrades, the situation of the garrison in Ninghai County has changed. In addition to the more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops, there is also a group of field infantry battalions withdrawn from the front line. This has greatly hindered our original plan to meet the transport troops."
"Therefore, based on the deployment of the Japanese troops, the General Staff has urgently formulated a new combat plan. All previous plans have been cancelled, and we need to redeploy!" Having said that, Qin Hai put the plan in his hand on the table.
At the same time, he marked the location of Ninghai County on the map with a serious face.
"Next, I hope everyone will focus on Ninghai County. The most important goal is to cover the safe evacuation of the transport troops. Do you have confidence?"
As Qin Hai finished speaking, the cadres at the scene became excited.
"Have!"
The cadres answered in unison.
"Very good. Next, the General Staff will introduce the specific combat tasks to everyone." After that, Qin Hai handed the detailed combat plan to Chief of Staff You Hongwei for introduction.
At Qin Hai's signal, You Hongwei walked to the map and began to explain the battle plan in detail.
"The personnel attacking Liujia Town remain unchanged. The Guard Company will still be responsible for the attack. At the same time, the Artillery Battalion will provide two Type 92 infantry guns for support. We will try to cooperate and capture Ninghai County within half an hour!"
At this point, the chief of staff looked at the captain of the guard company and said solemnly:
"Captain Li, you will be in charge of commanding the attack on Liujia Town this time. Send Wei Dayong, the commander of the guard company, to coordinate with us!"
The two men looked at each other and nodded without hesitation at the chief of staff's arrangement, then saluted the chief of staff.
"Yes, I will ensure that the mission is completed!" Wei Dayong is the earliest veteran to follow the guard regiment and he is also a graduate of a professional.
I was able to become the company commander of the guard company thanks to Qin Hai’s promotion.
Although Wei Dayong had no special talent in commanding operations, he fought bravely, and Qin Hai was always confident in letting him lead the guard company.
This time, letting Wei Dayong cooperate with Captain Chen was actually Qin Hai's selfish motive. He wanted Captain Chen to help train Wei Dayong.
The guard regiment has developed rapidly and has now exceeded the scale of the reinforced main force regiment. It will be upgraded sooner or later. At that time, the guard company led by Wei Dayong may also be upgraded to a guard battalion. If Wei Dayong's command ability cannot keep up, he is likely to be eliminated.
As the first guard following him, Qin Hai didn't want Wei Dayong to fall behind.
Of course, Chief of Staff You Hongwei was not aware of Qin Hai's arrangement. After getting approval from Wei Dayong and Battalion Commander Chen, he continued:
"The first and second battalions will attack from the north of Ninghai County. At the same time, in order to buy time for the transportation department to retreat, this battle must be fought fiercely to show the power of the Guards Regiment!"
"The reconnaissance battalion and the third battalion are responsible for attacking from the west and completely cutting off Ninghai County's retreat route!"
"The artillery battalion is responsible for frontal fire suppression and supports the main force in the frontal attack."
"As for other directions, we need to make big moves, but they are all fake attacks. The purpose is to confuse the enemy and make them unable to figure out our intentions. We want the main force to concentrate its firepower in the north and catch the devil off guard!"
The Chief of Staff made this arrangement to prevent the Japanese from guessing our intentions.
In addition, by seizing the initiative and launching a surprise attack under the cover of night, even if the Japanese reacted and wanted to break out, the defenders of Ninghai County would probably have no choice but to hold on and seek help from other places as they were surrounded on all sides.
But this time, with the support of their superiors, these devils were destined not to wait for reinforcements. At least before dawn, the brother troops in various places would guard against the enemy and delay the pace of the devil's reinforcements to the maximum extent, buying precious time for the guards' battle!
After more than ten minutes of strategic deployment, the chief of staff finished his instructions, greeted the regiment commander, and stepped aside.
Seeing this, Qin Hai did not hesitate and walked to the map to make the final pre-war mobilization.
"Comrades, although this operation is a feint, we must also show the momentum of our guard regiment. The bigger the noise, the more successful we will be in covering the evacuation of the transport troops!"
"The brothers from the transport team are waiting for us in Liujia Town. We have been preparing for this operation for more than 20 days. Whether it can be successful depends on this battle today!
"This is our first real battle after the expansion of our guard regiment. We must fight well and display our best equipment to let the leaders who come to visit see it!" Qin Hai said these passionate words.
Qin Hai's eyes swept across every excited face. After hearing Qin Hai's words, the cadres of the guard regiment were all excited and wanted to go into the battlefield and fight immediately.
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Although the enemy's action plan was sudden, the soldiers of the Guards Regiment seemed to have become accustomed to this sudden strategic deployment.
Perhaps because of more than two months of intensive training, when the staff department re-formulated the plan, the cadres quickly adjusted and began to prepare for battle according to the new plan.
"Very good, keep up the momentum and attack at midnight. You still have half an hour, so get ready!" As Qin Hai finished speaking, the cadres on the scene saluted Qin Hai, then quickly left the temporary command center and went to carry out the final strategic deployment.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Although the night was cooler than the day, the battle was approaching and the blood of all the soldiers was boiling, which dispelled the chill of the night.
The troops arrived at their designated positions and completed final preparations before the battle.
All the soldiers, with their backs covered by the night, quietly waited for the battle to begin.
...
Right now,
There was peace and prosperity in Ninghai County. After all, they were welcoming the visiting group sent by their superiors, and the Japanese soldiers stationed in Ninghai County naturally had to show their hospitality.
The leader of the visiting group, Hattori Naoomi, had just finished exercising and felt a little tired all over, so he lay motionless on the bed.
just tonight,
I was invited to a banquet by Captain Fujita of the garrison battalion and also watched some art performances. Watching performances is tiring in itself, and coupled with the long hours of socializing, my body was even more exhausted.
