Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

"This time we will follow Handan to the two towns ahead and block them step by step."

"Considering the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Regiment, we will mainly focus on harassment and long-range artillery strikes in the early stages. At the same time, when harassing on the road, we will specifically target the sergeants who are living a simple life."

"Slow down the detachment's progress in reaching Gao Yu and Guang Lu."

"When the Japanese army starts attacking, I'm afraid our attack won't be able to exert much strength."

"When this regiment starts its attack, we will suppress the Japanese first, then slowly withdraw from our positions, lay out the explosives, and give them a teppanyaki."

After listening to the chief of staff's words, Xia Wenkai also thought it was feasible.

After perfecting the battle plan, he immediately issued combat orders to everyone.

This time, the 762nd Regiment defended Guanglu, and the 81st Regiment defended Gaoyu. At the same time, the 762nd Regiment immediately sent a small force to block the front.

When the Japanese 2nd Regiment advanced southward along the Pinghan Road, after encountering an ambush at Guanglu, it would definitely detour to Gaoyu and continue southward.

At the same time, the 124th and 125th Regiments were on standby in Huangguanying Village as reserve forces.

So, Xia Wenkai began to issue orders, and all troops began to enter the designated combat area, preparing to block the 2nd Regiment.

At 9 o'clock, inside the front-line command post outside Guanglu Town.

At this time, the commander of the 762nd Regiment, Su Daqing, and the political commissar, Tan Zhumei, together with several battalion commanders and company commanders of their direct companies, were arranging the combat mission of how to block the Second Regiment.

"First Battalion Commander!" Su Daqing said to the First Battalion Commander in front of him.

"Here! Commander!" Battalion Commander Liang Boxuan looked at Su Daqing.

"Your First Battalion's mission is to hold the plain west of Guanglu Town for three hours. I'll have the artillery company support your First Battalion. Can you do it?"

"Commander, the first battalion will ensure the completion of the mission," the battalion commander Liang Boxuan immediately saluted and said seriously to Su Daqing.

Su Daqing said with a serious expression, "The terrain on the west side is open and there is not much shelter, so your battalion will have to bear a lot of pressure."

"The Japanese army doesn't have that much time. If the Second Regiment's attack fails, they will definitely take a detour to Gaoyu. Therefore, we must withstand the first wave of attacks."

"Second Battalion Commander!" At this time, Su Daqing turned his gaze to the Second Battalion Commander Li Jun.

"Your battalion's mission is to defend this town. Do you understand?"

After hearing what the regiment commander said, the second battalion commander Li Jun's expression suddenly straightened up and he said to Su Daqing.

"Commander, the Second Battalion will guarantee to protect Guanglu and prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the defense line."

Afterwards, Su Daqing used the Third Battalion as a reserve force, ready to support the First and Second Battalions at any time.

At the same time, he ordered the reconnaissance company commander Sun Tianyu to lead the reconnaissance company along the tunnel to slow down the advance of the Japanese army.

As the order was issued, the entire regiment began to act.

On the other side, in Gaoyu, the 81st Regiment, under the orders of Regiment Commander Lu Guanying and Political Commissar Wang Yifu, issued combat missions to each battalion and began to build defensive positions.

If the Japanese army's attack in Guanglu fails, they will definitely send troops to bypass Gaoyu.

13 pm.

At this time, the 2nd Regiment of the 14th Division, led by its commander, Ishiguro Sadanzo, finally arrived in front of Guangluo.

During the entire march, since leaving Handan City, Ishiguro Sadanzo's mood has never been better.

Along the way, he kept cursing Zeng Jiwen's 389th Division.

A few months ago, when the locust army was sweeping southeastern Shanxi, his own regiment fought against one and a half regiments of the 389th Division, and the entire regiment was almost defeated by the damn 389th Division.

If he hadn't seen that the situation was not right, it is very likely that the entire regiment would have been lost in Wuxiang last time, which was a great shame and humiliation.

When has his own team ever suffered such a huge loss?

If the Chinese army on the opposite side fought him head-on and he was defeated, Ishiguro Sadanzo would still look upon them with a higher regard.

But what broke Ishiguro Sadanzo's defense was that the damn 389th Division did not engage in direct combat with him at all, but only focused on shooting at his own regiment.

While the locust army was searching the village, they came out of the tunnel and launched a sneak attack, and then lured the locust army to a dangerous location, making it difficult for the locust army to deploy its equipment.
