King of Secret Service

Liang Xiao asked the guards to carry Chen Hua in to rest, and she was able to rush over to save him just now, which really moved him.

"Master seat, urgent telegram."

Chu Xiangxue came out of the headquarters holding a telegram anxiously.

Liang Xiao took the telegram and read it, he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

"Under the cover of planes and gunboats, the vanguard of the Japanese army invaded Baoshan County, and all the soldiers defending the city were killed."

He frowned tightly. How is this possible? One hour ago, it was said that the Japanese army was still more than 20 kilometers away from Baoshan. An hour later, the Japanese army captured Baoshan County. Could it be that the Japanese army has grown wings? The semi-mechanized troops marched at full speed and could reach Baoshan in seven to eight hours, but he still hadn't reached Baoshan after walking for more than ten hours.

He quickly calmed down, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, nor is it time to speculate on why the Japanese army captured Baoshan in such a short time.

Once Baoshan is lost, the overall situation will be in turmoil. Fortresses such as Wusong, Shizilin, Luodian, and Zhanghuabang will face the threat of the Japanese army, especially the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, which is the life supply line of the national army. If the Japanese control the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, Hundreds of thousands of national troops will fall into the situation of running out of ammunition and food.

The only way now is...to take Baoshan back from the Japanese army while the Japanese army is not yet firmly established.

"Send a report to the committee: The students were shocked to learn that Baoshan was occupied by the Japanese invaders, and they were very anxious. Baoshan is the throat of the national army, and there must be no loss. The students ask for orders to lead Wu Song's troops to attack Baoshan."

"Hurry up and send it. If there is a call back, give it to me as soon as possible."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Chu Xiangxue turned around and sent a telegram.

Huh...the Japanese plane is still there: hovering in the sky, as if scouting the terrain of Liushugou.

Liushugou has complex terrain and towering trees. The Japanese planes did not have accurate coordinates, so they could not find the hiding place of the headquarters.

That shell just now was really an accident.

"The ministries must not move, even if it is a bird, it must not be startled."

Liang Xiao didn't believe it, the Japanese planes were still there: after a short while of high-altitude reconnaissance.

Lei Zhenggang ran into the headquarters in disgrace: "Master, the position we occupied last night was taken back by the Japanese army just now. It was all these damned Japanese planes. When a wave of bombs fell, the front position was directly destroyed. All soldiers in a platoon were killed, and an armored vehicle was also blown up on the road."

"Order the troops to rely on the forests on both sides of the willow ditch to block the enemy's advance. Just don't let the enemy protrude from the willow ditch."

Liang Xiao said.

"Without troops standing in front, ambushes on both sides alone cannot stop the enemy. They have tanks and armored vehicles, and mortars and grenade launchers behind them. Even if they hide in the woods, as long as the gunfire sounds, The grenadiers of the Japanese army will quickly shoot towards the woods."

What Lei Zhenggang said was also true.

"Now that there are Japanese planes hovering overhead, sending troops to fight the Japanese directly will definitely become the target of Japanese plane bombing."

Liang Xiao is not willing to risk the lives of special soldiers.

"Master, I would like to lead the officer death squad to a hand-to-hand battle with these 2 devils.

,, I don't believe that Japanese planes even bombed their own troops."

Lei Zhenggang said.

"The one opposite us is the Taiwanese brigade, not the authentic Japanese devils. In the eyes of the Japanese, the Taiwanese are just like us. Do you think they will be merciful?"

Liang Xiao sneered.

"Then what should we do, we can't ask these 2 devils to break through Liushugou"

Lei Zhenggang said.

"According to what I said, fight every step of the way. After the Japanese plane flies away, we will take it back."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Lei Zhenggang turned around and went out.

"Master seat, when the secret service team went out to investigate the enemy's situation, they caught two Japanese devils by chance."

Lin Nan came in to report.

A look of joy flashed in Liang Xiao's eyes, he really came up with whatever he wanted.

"Bring people in."

"Yes."

The guard escorted two soldiers in Japanese uniforms into the room.

Although their attire is no different from that of the Japanese army, it can still be seen from their height that they are very different from the Japanese.

The Japanese are short in stature, the average height of the soldiers is about 1.6 meters, and the height of these two soldiers is more than 1.7 meters.

"what's your name"

"An Ding Yuan."

"Three cows."

Chapter 581 The Arrival of Reinforcements

Through the interrogation of two Taiwanese Japanese soldiers, Liang Xiao learned about the Japanese army's combat plan and troop deployment.

He quickly responded by ordering the guard battalion to detour behind the Japanese army, cut off their water sources, and harass the Japanese army's rear, so that the Japanese army could not care about their heads.

Ordered the mortar battalion and tank company to quickly regain their positions in coordination with the frontal battlefield after the Japanese fighter planes left.

Next, everything went as he expected. As soon as the frontal troops took back the position from the Japanese army, the enemy fighter planes flew over to bomb again. This time the frontal troops were already prepared. After the roar, the frontal troops planted booby traps and landmines on the position, and then all retreated into the forest to avoid the bombing of enemy planes.

The Japanese plane circled several times at high altitude and dropped bombs one after another.

Under the cover of fighter planes, the Japanese army quickly charged to the Liushugou position.

This time their process of seizing the position was not smooth, and if they were not careful, they might step on landmines or booby traps.

After several times in a row, the Japanese army did not dare to advance blindly, and they sent engineers to check for landmines little by little.

As a result, their advancing speed becomes extremely slow.

It is impossible for the Japanese aircraft to hover over Liushugou all the time, after all, the fuel consumption of the aircraft is an astronomical figure.

After more than an hour, the Japanese plane couldn't hold on and evacuated in the sky.

As soon as the Japanese planes withdrew, Lei Zhenggang commanded the frontal troops to counterattack the Japanese army quickly under the cover of the mountain artillery battalion and armored vehicles, and caught the Japanese army by surprise with powerful firepower. The chariot rolled over the corpses of the Japanese army and slowly moved forward.

The position that the Japanese army had just occupied was taken back by troops led by Lei Zhenggang before it was warmed up.

After a day of repeated tossing, the Japanese army was exhausted and unable to launch an attack.

Moreover, the Japanese army was not good at field battles. At night, they set up camps and buried pots for cooking. As long as the Chinese army did not attack the camps, they would not take the initiative to attack.

They don't attack, it doesn't mean Liang Xiao doesn't attack.

Fighting is actually a science.

If you want to master this knowledge well, you have to work hard.

At night, under the cover of armored vehicles, the front troops attacked the front troops of the Japanese army again.

The Japanese army absorbed the lessons of the previous two times. Seeing the Chinese army attacking, they immediately dispatched two brigades to protect the safety of the flanks and rear, lest the Chinese army come out of the forest again and attack their flanks.

However, this time, the Chinese army attacked with all its strength, and the mortars would move forward for a certain distance every time they fired a round of shells, and the artillery fire almost wiped the Japanese army's ass.

The machine guns of the armored vehicles fired wildly, and under the light, a large number of Japanese troops fell down.

Lei Zhenggang personally led the troops to drive the devils to the ditch position, and planted mines and booby-traps along the Liushugou Highway. When the Japanese army attacked tomorrow morning, they would experience the power of the mines.

After doing all this, the troops withdrew from Liushugou.

Command.

Liang Xiao pondered how to wipe out the 2 devils in the team in front of him outside Liushugou.

Although the combat effectiveness of the 2 devils was mediocre, they were supported by planes during the day and guarded at the camp at night. Machine gun positions and mortar positions were built in front of the camp.

He only has a special combat unit, a guard battalion, a mortar battalion, and a tank company. The total number of troops is only 3000, and the ratio of troops is one to two.

If you launch a strong attack, you will suffer heavy losses, this is not in line with Liang Xiao's fighting style.

Just when he was thinking about the strategy of annihilating the enemy, a telegram from the Military and Political Council came.

The Commissioner rejected Liang Xiao's request to fight Baoshan. The battle on Baoshan was entrusted to the First Army. One division, one independent brigade of the Cantonese army, went out to Liushugou for reinforcements, and he was the commander, responsible for annihilating the landing Japanese troops in Liushugou and ensuring the safety of the Luodian flank.

Liang Xiao read the telegram and threw the telegram aside. Liushugou was narrow in terrain and could not deploy large-scale troops. He appointed the Northeast Army and the Cantonese Army to cooperate with him. This gave Japanese fighter planes the opportunity to mass-kill the Chinese army.

But he couldn't refuse. After all, he only had one regiment in Liushugou, which was far different from the Japanese army's strength.

It's just that he really doesn't like the fighting power of the Northeast Army and the Guangdong Army.

A division plus an independent brigade, more than 1 people, let them exchange fire with the 2 devils on the opposite side. I am afraid that it will not be long before they are beaten by the 2 devils on the opposite side. The devil's firepower is still fierce, and it has the advantage of fighting positional warfare.

Forget it, the order has been issued, he still can fight the battle of Liushugou with peace of mind, as for Baoshan County, it depends on whether the First Army can take it in a short time.

...and dawn the next day.

The 67st Division of the 381th Army of the Northeast Army and the Independent Brigade of the Guangdong Army marched in the starry night and arrived at the Liushugou position before dawn.

"Master's seat, Mr. Fan from the 38th Division and Brigadier Liu from the Independent Brigade are asking to see you."

Chen Hua came in from the command post. She was knocked out by a bomb yesterday. After resting for a day, she is fine.

6军是东北军几个主力军之一,38师在67军不算主力,因为381师是东北军两个残部拼凑起来,在东北军体系是姥姥不疼舅舅不爱,地位很尴尬,粤军独立旅相比381师战斗力更低,其前身为地方警备旅,淞沪战争打响之后,才被提升为独立旅.

"Invite them in."

Liang Xiao was quite a headache, he only hoped that the equipment of these two troops was not particularly bad, otherwise, this battle would be really difficult to fight.

a while....

Master Fan and Brigadier Liu came in from the headquarters, and they stood at attention and saluted.

Although Teacher Fan is also a teacher commander, he is a major general and his military rank is one level lower than Liang Xiao's. Moreover, when he came to Liushugou to participate in the battle this time, he was under the command of Liang Xiao. Salute first.

As for Brigadier Liu, he is completely lower than Liang Xiao, so a salute is due.

"General Liang, the two of us received a telegram from the Military and Political Council and immediately led our troops to Liushugou to obey the dispatch."

Teacher Fan said.

Liang Xiao signaled the two to sit down, and said: "Since it is an order from the Military and Political Council, Liang should obey it, but I have two requests, and you must agree to them."

"General Liang, please tell me."

Teacher Fan said.

"First, you two troops must obey my orders unconditionally until this battle is over."

"Second, I don't have the bullets, artillery fire and logistical support for your two troops. However, you can apply to the military administration after the war."

Chapter 582 Attacking Front and Back

Teacher Fan immediately stated his position: "The Military and Political Council ordered our troops to follow General Liang's command, and Fan will definitely cooperate with all his strength."

Brigadier Liu of the Independent Brigade of the Cantonese Army said: "The Independent Brigade is inferior to its rank and fully obeys General Liang's orders."

"If you two are willing to obey orders, we will have a [-]% chance of winning this battle."

Liang Xiao said.

"General Liang please give an order, we will resolutely carry it out."

Teacher Fan said.

Liang Xiao nodded slowly, pointed to the location of Liushugou marked on the map, and said: "Mr. Fan, the terrain of Liushugou is narrow, which is not conducive to large-scale deployment of troops. You send two battalions to lie in ambush along the forests on both sides of Liushugou. Send another battalion of troops to fight the Japanese army from the front and hold back the Japanese army's attacking pace."

"Brigade Commander Liu, you lead the independent brigade to go around this place and launch an attack from the rear of the Japanese army to attract Japanese firepower. I will send special operations troops to attack from the two wings. In this way, we will divide the Japanese army into three pieces, making them head and tail. Can't take care of each other, and then gradually erode their vitality, waiting for an opportunity to wipe them out."

Liang Xiao said.

"Humble job understands."

Teacher Fan and Brigadier Liu expressed their understanding immediately.

"The battle is urgent, so I won't keep you two. When the devils from the Taiwan brigade are wiped out, I'll invite you to drink Japanese sake."

Liang Xiao said.

Teacher Fan and Brigadier Liu responded with a smile, and took their leave.
