At 9:30 pm, the communications staff hurriedly appeared in the combat room: "Sir, the siege troops in the south sent an urgent telegram, and the enemy took the initiative to attack them. The firepower was very strong. The first unit to contact them had more than half of the casualties. At present, they have drawn a large squad of mobile troops to encircle and suppress the enemy."

The Chief of Staff was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground.

The army commander went against the norm and mobilized more than 10,000 people to encircle dozens of enemies, which was definitely a killer.

The Chief of Staff originally wanted to object, but was rejected by the Chief of Staff.

He is now worried that the troops are so generous in searching the mountains, and the enemy they are looking for is not hidden in the mountains. In the end, after searching for a long time, he found nothing, and the joke is huge.

When the chief of staff heard the report that there were troops in the mountain taking the initiative to attack the encirclement and suppression troops, he was not only not angry, but was very happy.

If there is an attack, it means that the opponent the commander is looking for is hidden in the mountains where the troops are searching. The commander will not return in vain with such a big fanfare.

In order to end the encirclement as soon as possible and kill the culprit of ambushing drug dealers, the chief of staff, the chief of staff quickly put forward his thoughts: "Sir, I think the strength of an infantry brigade is too small."

"The enemy hid in the mountains, and the two sides caused a large number of casualties as soon as they contacted us, which means that the other party is very powerful."

"The terrain inside the mountain is very complex, with forests and ravines everywhere. If there is not enough troops to surround them, any accident or negligence may allow them to slip away."

"Bizhi suggested that two more brigades be transferred to the enemy and not give the opponent any chance to escape!"

The deputy chief of staff immediately supported: "I agree to transfer two more infantry brigades."

"Our opponents are not only cunning, but also very powerful."

"The battle last night has proved this. Facing the siege of an infantry brigade, it can not only hurt us, but also escape unscathed in the end. Ordinary troops will definitely not be able to do it."

"Faced with such a mysterious opponent, none of us knows whether they have any trump cards that they have played. We must be very cautious when dealing with them. If we want to play, we must beat them to death with one stick, and we cannot give them the slightest chance to escape."

The Deputy Chief of Staff said that he was more determined to increase his troops to the south, and continued to propose to the commander: "The troops in the south must not be transferred anymore, otherwise the troops in the search will have defensive loopholes. The west side is backed by Taiyuan, and the searching forces are at least involved, and there are no troops to be dispatched. Only the east and north side can be transferred. Hu Zi begs the commander to issue an order to transfer troops to them immediately."

"The sooner the reinforcements are killed, the smaller the chances of the enemy breaking out of the encirclement. The sooner we can kill them and end the battle as soon as possible!"

The commander didn't say anything, his eyes kept staring at the sand table.

The mountains where Zhou Cheng was hiding were clearly marked, and the troops involved in the encirclement and suppression were also displayed on the sand table. You can see at a glance where there are many troops and where there are insufficient troops.

Seeing that the commander suddenly frowned, the Chief of Staff quickly asked: "Sir, is there something wrong with it?"

The commander nodded, then stared at everyone and asked: "The encirclement and suppression troops in the south were attacked, but the enemies we were looking for were not necessarily all in the south, and no one was sure whether they were really going to break through the south."

"What if we transfer the troops and the enemy chooses to break through from other directions?"

The Chief of Staff frowned and asked, "Sir, are you worried that our opponents will attack the world?"

The commander refused to comment: "They are too cunning. So far, they have not even figured out their identities, so we have to be careful."

The Chief of Staff felt that the commander's judgment was very likely to be correct, but it could also be wrong. What if the opponent took advantage of everyone's mentality and broke through from the south?

After he expressed this idea, the commander immediately became silent and his brows became deeper than before.

The Chief of Staff continued: "Sir, if you feel that there are too many encirclement and suppression troops from the east and north to reinforce the southern encirclement and suppression forces, it will affect the Sushan defense line in the east and north, then we can transfer 500 people over."

"There is indeed too few troops in a squad. If it is scattered into such a large mountain, it is very likely that even a wave cannot arouse it, and it will definitely not be able to surround the enemy. We must be cautious."

This was an offer that the commander could accept. The second lieutenant hesitated for two or three seconds and made a decision: "Then transfer five hundred people from each other. From their mobile troops, the searching troops must not move."

"The reinforcements directly penetrated the mountains from the north and east to the battlefield, surrounding the enemy."

On the east side of the Shandong Province, Zhou Cheng led the Second Assault Team and the Second Squad of the Reconnaissance Company to lurk in front of the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese advanced 100 meters, but they retreated 100 meters, and they did not contact them at all.

The squad leader of the investigation asked him for battle more than once, killing the mountain search troops that came out of the Japanese and puppet troops, giving them a warning, and at least they had to fire cold guns, so that the Japanese and puppet troops could take their lives away at any time, so that the Japanese and puppet troops would not be so arrogant in the future mountain search operations.

But all these proposals were rejected by the leader.

Zhou Cheng gave them only one order: continue to lurk and prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from noticeing their existence.

At 10:30 in the evening, a member of the investigation team suddenly touched Zhou Cheng: "Captain, the Japanese mobile troops behind the Soushan troops have moved."

"More than 500 Japanese suddenly crossed the Sushan troops from one kilometer away from us, and walked straight to Deputy Company Commander Wang's side!"

A smile finally flashed on Zhou Cheng's serious face: "It must be that the battle over Wang Tieshan has started. In order to kill them, the Japanese have drawn troops from other directions to reinforce them!"

"Are the Japanese fooled?" The squad leader asked with a happy look.

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "It shouldn't be!"

"If we are really fooled, we think we want to break through the south, we will definitely transfer all the mobile troops of a brigade, instead of just 500 people, leaving 500 people here."

"This is obviously a warning to us to attack the world."

The squad leader of the investigation became anxious. After the captain Wang Tieshan led his troops away, he felt that the regiment commander was using the method of attacking the east and west to break out of the encirclement.

If the Japanese and puppet troops were not deceived, wouldn’t the captain fight in vain?

Moreover, the Japanese and puppet troops here still had 500 mobile troops. With them in existence, it would be difficult for the troops to break through smoothly. I asked quickly: "What should we do next?"

Zhou Cheng didn't know the idea of ​​the squad leader, so he was still immersed in joy.

In his plan, it was enough for the Japanese and puppet troops to transfer 500 people to siege Wang Tieshan, which was far beyond his estimate.

Although there are still 500 mobile troops left here, I still have myself, so I can definitely find a way to hold them back and create opportunities for the breakout troops.

Facing the worry-filled eyes of the squad leader, he ordered: "Let everyone hold on for another hour."

"We should get on after the Japanese reinforce the mobile troops in the south. We must transfer all the remaining mobile troops of the Japanese to us!"

After giving the order, he turned his attention to the team members who had just come to deliver the message: "You go to the cave to tell Platoon Leader Li that they will set out in two hours, from the two kilometers area on our left, choose the breakout location and break out of the encirclement!"

The squad leader understood, and the sadness on his face was replaced by a smile at this moment. He suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand, commander!"

"In addition to Captain Wang's attention, we are also responsible for attracting the Japanese mobile troops. The two sounds of attacking east and west are superimposed together. No matter how cautious the Japanese army is, they will be deceived."

"I will inform the troops immediately and let everyone prepare for battle. I will start the action in an hour, strive to win the first battle, severely damage the enemy, and then attract more Japanese to surround us and create opportunities for Platoon Leader Li to break through."

The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan has been dispatched for almost two hours, and the battle in the south of the mountain has not yet concluded.

Although there are only a dozen opponents, they are as cunning as a group of foxes.

Once, the troops surrounded them, but they were torn a hole in the encirclement by grenade launchers and machine guns, and they fled under the noses of the encirclement.

More importantly, these people do not pick on weapons in wars, nor do they lack weapons, and they use whatever they seize.

After more than two hours of encirclement, the equipment in their hands not only did not decrease, but they fought more and more. They even equipped several crooked handles, and also equipped two grenade tubes.

The entire team was like a mobile arsenal. When they encountered the Imperial Army, they first smashed the grenades, then fired the machine guns, and then withdrew after they were shot, and they were clean and neat...

After two consecutive teams of search teams were severely damaged, the encirclement forces had to regroup the scattered troops to prevent them from being defeated by opponents.

But in this way, the distance between the search teams becomes longer, and some defense loopholes will inevitably occur. Fortunately, the two reinforcements will arrive at the battlefield in time at this time.

The army breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the battle in the south of the mountain had become a foregone conclusion and there would be no more problems.

But at this moment, the communications consultant once again appeared at the door of the war room.

"Sir, the Suoshan troops on the east side of the Great Shandong were attacked. The enemy's firepower was very strong. The only mobile troops on the east side had already rushed towards the battlefield!"

After hearing this, the Chief of Staff was glad and immediately praised the commander: "Sir, wise, fortunately, you reminded me in time and saw that the enemy was attacking the east and did not transfer all the mobile troops in the east, otherwise we would have no troops to encircle this enemy that suddenly emerged!"

The commander accepted the compliments from his subordinates calmly and did not realize that this was another attack.

In a ravine two kilometers away from Zhoucheng, all the breakout troops gathered here, waiting for the arrival of the last breakout moment.

Five hundred meters ahead of them, the Japanese and puppet troops searched the mountain lined up and slowly advanced forward. When they encountered a slightly denser shrub, they stabbed them with a bayonet. They made sure there were no hidden people inside and left and continued to search forward.

The breakout troops wanted to break out of the Japanese and puppet troops' encirclement, but had no other way except for a strong attack.

"Baopao..." At this moment, a series of submachine guns suddenly sounded on a high ground three or four hundred meters ahead.

Under the dark night, the gunshots seemed particularly harsh.

The Japanese and puppet troops searching the mountains in front were like wolves that found prey. Without the command of the commander, they rushed towards the position where the gun was fired without the command of the commander.

Soon, the high ground where the guns just now became lively. Submachine guns, rifles, and light machine guns joined the war one after another, and the gunshots became increasingly louder...

This is the news caused by the joint operation of the third assault group and the firepower group of the reconnaissance team, attracting all the surrounding Suoshan troops, so that the breakout troops can break out of the encirclement from behind the Japanese army.
