On the front of the Ninth Detachment, since the Japanese army in the Mizuru Department did not replenish their troops in time after they were damaged, Sakamoto and his team only sent small groups to carry out the ruling battle. The so-called ruling battle they carried out this time did not choose to attack Sangyu Town, but sent troops to suddenly attack the Niuwang Village where a large group of garrisons was stationed.

This battle to attack Niuwang Village was a tentative attack by Sakamoto and Sasaki on the newly established Ninth Detachment. Because of the previous two attacks on Sangyu Town, the Japanese and puppet sides suffered heavy casualties. Sakamoto and his team believed that the Ninth Detachment had recently increased their troops, so they must have heavy troops in Sangyu Town. Sakamoto then set his sights on Niuwang Village.

Although there are two Chinese squadrons guarding the Niuwang Village, according to the customs of the National Army, Sakamoto believes that the National Army stationed in Niuwang Village may not have much combat effectiveness and may not have any heavy weapons. Based on the above judgment, Sakamoto did not send reinforcements, but directly ordered Watanabe, the Japanese squadron leader stationed in Lengshuitan, to gather the Japanese troops scattered in various strongholds, and then took a strengthened squadron of the Imperial Army to Niuwang Village to carry out the ruling battle.

After the third brigade arrived in Sangyu Town, the Japanese sent troops from Shuizhi in two so-called attacks. Therefore, Li Qinglin and his intelligence system focused on Shuizhi and Wan'an County, and did not pay special attention to Lengshuitan, which was truly a garrison, so the intelligence that the Japanese team leader Watanabe led the troops to attack was not obtained at the first time.

According to Sakamoto's order, Watanabe led his own team and the two squads of the Japanese stationed in the surrounding large strongholds, and a strengthened company of the puppet army drove towards Niuwang Village. Although the so-called so-called ruling battle was sent secretly, it was still discovered. The first person to discover was not the people from the third brigade, but the squad leader Zhu Renfu of Sun Liancheng.

Sun Liancheng lived a very easy life during this period. Because he made many "military achievements", the Japanese and puppet parties now trust him very much. His company commander had already vaguely revealed a piece of news that he was said to be promoted to a company soon. Sun Liancheng considered that Yanglouzi Village would have to be stationed for a long time in the future, and for the sake of his brothers, he decided to recommend his most trusted squad leader Zhu Renfu to take the position of his platoon leader.

However, Sun Liancheng has the final say on who will take over the position of the platoon leader. At least the company commander needs to agree. The Japanese squad leader stationed in the Nan'an Township stronghold agreed to the consent of Chief Cangcao. Sun Liancheng took out some money and goods from the small treasury in the platoon and asked Zhu Renfu to run from time to time to handle the matter.

On this day, Zhu Renfu was carrying a few chickens and ducks and a bottle of wine to find Asakura to contact him for "feelings", but as soon as he entered the stronghold, he found that something was wrong. A squad of the Japanese actually gathered in the yard with all armed forces and stood on standby.

Zhu Renfu's heart moved. Could it be that these Japanese devils had a big move today? But he still kept silent and went straight to find Asakura with the things in his hand.

Asakura was already fully armed at this time, but the large army led by the Watanabe team leader had not arrived yet. He thought the yard was too cold and was hiding in the artillery tower and unable to get off.

Zhu Renfu has been running hard during this period, and he and Asakura are already quite "friendly". Especially the things Zhu Renfu has brought naturally Asakura smiles, but he said with regret: "Zhu Sang, there is a big move today, so I can't have a good drink with you."

Zhu Renfu hurriedly said, "Taijun's affairs are big things, and drinking is small things. When Taijun returns triumphantly, I will invite you to have a few more drinks."

Asakura likes drinking more. He patted Zhu Renfu on the shoulder and said, "You are so good, you are a friend of the Imperial Army."

Zhu Renfu hurriedly said: "China and Japan are kind, China and Japan are kind, I have always been very friendly."

However, he pretended to be unintentionally and asked: "Will Taijun pass by our Yanglouzi Village today? If you pass by us, I will go back immediately to inform the platoon leader to prepare and come and treat you Taijun well."

Asakura smiled and said, "You don't need to prepare this. We passed by your Yanglouzi Village today, but time is urgent, so we won't enter the village."

"That's good, that's good, then I'll go back first, I wish Taijun a victory in the flag." Zhu Renfu could speak out and quickly put down the gift in his hand and bowed to say goodbye.

Of course, the more detailed the military intelligence you know, the better, but Zhu Renfu knows that the Japanese are not fools. If you listen in detail, the more suspicious they will become. Now they know that the Japanese have a big operation today and have to pass through Zhulouzi Village, that is enough, because there is only one team that needs to be attacked through Zhulouzi Village, that is the national army of Niuwangzhai.

After Zhu Renfu left the stronghold in Nan'an Township, he quickly ran back to Zhulouzi Village and reported the news to Sun Liancheng. Sun Liancheng did not dare to neglect it, and immediately sent someone to send the news to Xiaoliuzi.

The first brigade stationed in Niuwang Village. The captain Yue Qianxu has already taken office. Logically speaking, this information should be reported directly to the captain. However, Sun Liancheng has always been in contact with Xiao Liuzi, and he is not familiar with Yue Qianxu at all, so the information is sent directly to Xiao Liuzi.

After receiving the information, Xiao Liuzi immediately ran to the brigade headquarters and reported the information about the Japanese army's upcoming attack to Yue Qianxu. After learning that the information was obtained from the puppet army, Yue Qianxu was a little skeptical and asked: "The Japanese have made a big move, why does the detachment have no intelligence at all? Could it be that these puppet troops made a mistake?"

Xiao Liuzi didn't have time to explain his relationship with Sun Liancheng, so he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Others cannot trust me. I can guarantee the person who sent the letter, and the information is definitely true."

After hearing what Xiao Liuzi said, Yue Qianxu also took it seriously. He immediately called Zhao Wenguang, the squadron leader of the first squadron, to have a meeting.

The first team's airs have just been set up, and only the three people can make the decision at the moment, and the meeting started soon.

Yue Qianxu is a professional soldier. After coming to Niuwang Village, he looked at the terrain everywhere. He was very satisfied with the fortifications built by Xiao Liuzi and his friends in the early stage.

After Xiao Liuzi came here, based on the actual terrain of the three villages in Niuwang Village, middle and lower, three blocking positions were built with stones as the main material. These three positions were built along the mountain and were relatively sturdy, which was really a good place to fight position wars. Therefore, Yue Qianxu's arrangement was to wait for the troops to defend their positions, and at the same time sent people to report to Qinghe's headquarters and request the detachment to send troops to support.

Yue Qianxu's tactics are typical national military tactics, and they still use positional warfare to consume the enemy. This tactic is extremely conservative, but it is also considered to be a normal rule. Of course, Zhao Wenguang had no objection. But Xiao Liuzi confirmed that this was too passive, so he frowned.

But this small expression was immediately caught by Yue Qianxu. He asked, "Is Captain Xu any better way? If so, please tell me."

Xiaoliuzi Xu Liushun said, "Captain Yue, you are the captain of the first brigade. We should listen to your military command, and we should obey your orders unconditionally. Since you want me to tell me what you think, I will briefly talk about the two battles of our third brigades after they arrived in northern Henan."

Next, Xiao Liuzi defeated the Japanese and puppet troops twice to attack Sangyu Town, and the third brigade defeated the Japanese and the Japanese back twice.

After listening to Xiao Liuzi's introduction, Yue Qianxu said: "Captain Xu, don't be too polite. The Japanese have already been dispatched. Time is urgent. Just tell me your thoughts on this battle."

"I think this time we should fight according to the guerrilla warfare of Deputy Commander Li, mobile warfare and positional warfare, so that our troops will suffer the least casualties and the greatest results." Xiao Liuzi said bluntly.

Yue Qianxu pondered for a moment and said, "Does Captain Xu think my combat deployment should be adjusted?"

Xiao Liuzi said: "The positional war should be put in the end, so the three positions in Niuwangzhai must be held firm. The key is that we should send guerrilla troops to stagnate halfway when the enemy attacks and consume the enemy. If the fighter jets are beneficial to us, we can also use mobile warfare to give the enemy a fatal blow to the enemy in appropriate areas, and do not necessarily allow the enemy to attack our last line of defense."

Yue Qianxu nodded and said, "This kind of fighting style is still very correct, but this requires high demands on combat troops. Because the guerrilla troops sent in advance are under great pressure, the troops need to have high tactical qualities."

Xiao Liuzi looked at Zhao Wenguang and said, "This is how the main force of the first squadron stayed to defend Niuwangzhai, and our second squadron took the initiative to attack and block and delay the enemy."

The suggestions made by Xiao Liuzi were not excessive, but Yue Qianxu and Zhao Wenguang were both a little worried. These two people had been in the National Army for many years before, and they knew some of the disadvantages of the National Army.

Some officers of the National Army often do not start from the overall situation. They have selfish intentions when the war is coming. In order to preserve their strength, they will lead their troops to escape once they feel that the situation is unfavorable. Does Captain Xu also take the troops out in the name of taking the initiative and then wait for an opportunity to leave the battlefield?

Xiao Liuzi seemed to see the two of them as well. He sneered in his heart and said, "Captain, I will take my cavalry communication squad and a row of platoons to take the initiative, and the remaining troops will be left to your command."

The troops Xiao Liuzi was going to take away were only fifty, and nearly one hundred people were left in Niuwang Village. This arrangement was enough to show his sincerity. This made Yue Qianxu feel a little too petty, so he said: "Captain Xu, you have too few people, or ask Captain Zhao to allocate a platoon of troops for you."

He did not let his troops go with him, but instead dispatched other troops to attack. He was still worried about himself, and Xiao Liuzi sneered in his heart.

"No need, I think it's enough to be worth so much troops. The captain will still lead people to make good defense in Niuwang Village. The first brigade we rebuilt should also win a battle." Xiao Liuzi said.

"Okay, that's it. Let's fight a good battle today." Yue Qianxu said...
