In order to ensure the success of the First World War, Hu Biao also deduced it several times by himself before formulating the combat plan. Considering that the remaining unit of the 13th Division still has strength, Hu Biao also needs to spend more effort and thoughts on the attack tonight.

Either you don’t fight, and if you want to fight, you must exert the momentum of sweeping the holes. When Yu Xuezhong led his direct guard regiment to Shilipu, Hu Biao also led the guard regiment to personally reconnaissance of the enemy situation and collect more accurate information for subsequent operations.

Looking at the Japanese using simple fortifications built outside the village during the day and the scattered houses in the village, Hu Biao also personally calculated the location. However, the Japanese who stayed in the village were not clear about all this, and seemed to be waiting for the meal time to come.

Looking at the curling smoke rising in the village, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "It seems that we have a good time to choose! Go back! The troops of the 51st Army should be coming soon, so I will try to let the Japanese eat enough and send them on their way."

"We are also kind and righteous if we can be a full-blown ghost!"

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Tian Tiezhu and others who were by his side also responded with a smile. First, they took the Japanese army from Shilipu, which was more because Shilipu was closest to the Japanese division headquarters.

Other areas where the Japanese army deployed defenses were more used to monitor the defenders in the city and surrounding highways. For the Japanese army, they were actually very worried that a large army suddenly broke into their defense zone, but they did not notice it at all.

But the Japanese army had no idea. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the soldiers they sent to the periphery to reconnaissance were all monitored by another group of scouts. At this time, these scouts deployed outside had been ordered to be resolved by Hu Biao.

Without these scouts deployed on the periphery, the Japanese stationed in the guard camp could only monitor the enemy situation around the station. What happened outside of sight was naturally unaware of, and it was normal for Hu Biao to touch it under his nose.

Returning to the rear attack position, Hu Biao quickly ordered the construction of artillery positions and adjusting the artillery positions to prepare for artillery attack. This time, Hu Biao's confidence in attacking the Japanese division came more from the large number of artillery seized from the killing infantry brigade.

Although Hu Biao did not seize the corresponding shells from the infantry brigade, Hu Biao also stored a batch of shells in the temporary camp in Luzhou. In order to fight this battle, these shells were transported over when he transported the wounded back earlier.

After all, this batch of shells was originally used to supply the 13th Division of the Japanese army, but was robbed by Hu Biao halfway. Now, using these shells to deal with the 13th Division is considered a "return to the original owner" in Hu Biao's opinion!

According to different artillery, Hu Biao also set different artillery ranges and everything was ready. Hu Biao also asked: "Have the reinforcements of the 51st Army not arrived yet? Judging by the time, this should be here, right?"

Just when Hu Biao felt that the 51st Army was too slow to operate, the reconnaissance team responsible for the periphery quickly ran over and said, "Captain, the reinforcements have arrived. The leader is their commander, and he wants to meet you!"

"I'm here in time! Okay, order the troops to enter the position and wait for my order!"

"Yes, captain!"

With the guards beside him, Hu Biao quickly came to the road. Looking at the defenders in the city standing in the rain, Hu Biao felt that the discipline and spirit of this army looked very good, and it seemed that the combat effectiveness should be good.

After the lead reconnaissance team leader came forward to report, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "General Yu, I really didn't expect that you would lead the team out of the city to command. However, you are just here and everything is ready. Just wait for you to come and finish it!"

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Yu Xuezhong said in shock: "End? The battle is over? Why didn't you hear any movement?"

"So, you are here in time! There are only three hundred Japanese devils in the village, and they should not last ten minutes. General Yu, if your subordinates don't feel the hard work, let them enter the offensive position and wait for the general attack order!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a colonel next to Yu Xuezhong said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why? Didn't you say that you are cooperating with the battle? I heard your tone, as if we were to obey your command? What position do you have?"

"Xu Hu, don't be presumptuous! Brother Hu, sorry! My subordinates are a little impulsive, please forgive me!"

"It's okay! I'm a little too hasty! But I only have one night. After the battle tonight, I led my troops to leave. Therefore, whether the remaining Japanese can be completely defeated tonight depends on whether our two armies can cooperate closely.

In terms of military rank, I was just a colonel, or I was personally granted by the chairman, but I never received a piece of military pay. But I am a bit domineering and don’t like others to point fingers at me. In fact, I’m invited to come just to finish the exam.

In the next battle process, I will take some valuable spoils. The remaining spoils belong to your army. Of course, if you don’t like them, that doesn’t matter. No one thinks of too much weapons, right?”

Taking the ranks to suppress Hu Biao is undoubtedly a mistake. Not to mention that Yu Xuezhong is just a suppressed general of the Northeast Army, even if he is the direct general of the National Army, if Hu Biao doesn't want to get a slight advantage from him.

Just when Xuezhong was about to speak, Hu Biao said directly: "General Yu, time is tight. If you are interested, go to my offensive position to take a look. As for your subordinates, if you feel tired, then continue to rest!"

Ignoring the Northeast Army colonel with an angry look on his face, Hu Biao made a gesture of inviting and returned to the artillery position that had been prepared. Looking at the artillery positioned in the artillery position, Yu Xuezhong and the colonel were both stunned.

"Brother Hu, are these artillery belonging to you?"

"Of course! However, if your army can cooperate with our troops in the next battle, these artillery may become yours. In fact, these artillery were seized by me from the Japanese, and I can't take much of it even if I leave!"

Listening to Hu Biao's understatement, Yu Xuezhong said happily: "I'm really giving these artillery to me?"

"Before I came to Lu'an, I had already sent General Xu a gun battalion! I will go to the front line next. It is not convenient to pull these guns on the road. If you leave them for you, it will be considered as a use of everything. Of course, Chief Bai should also be interested in these weapons!"

"Brother, my subordinate is a rough man, don't mind. How to fight this battle tonight, just say, I will cooperate with you!"

"Thank you, General Yu! It's not that I deliberately took you, but that I have to do this. If I can't work together, how can I talk about cooperation? I believe the general has also heard of some things about me, and his personality is a bit straightforward, so I hope I'll forgive me!"

"Sir, I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

When Hu Biao finished saying this, the former colonel Xu Hu, who glared at him, also bowed his head and apologized happily. Xu Hu knew very well that if they had these artillery, the combat effectiveness of the 51st Army would be doubled.

He really made Hu Biao angry, he couldn't afford this responsibility!

Fortunately, Hu Biao waved his hand and said, "No need! You and I are both soldiers, so it is very appropriate to have a straightforward temper! As a subordinate, it is natural for you to maintain the authority of the superior. If you really don't say anything, I will look down on you!

But my army and I are a little special. Not to mention your general, even if the chairman gives an order, it depends on my interest. If I am not happy, his orders will still be invalid for me! So, military ranks are useless to me, do you understand?"

"I understand! Thank you sir!"

Xu Hu, who had previously worried that Hu Biao would hold grudges, was grateful and a little afraid after hearing what Hu Biao said. The reason was very simple. Those words Hu Biao said before would cause trouble if he listened to them!

Just after Xu Hu thanked him, Hu Biao continued: "If you really understand, then go outside to command the troops! When the shelling stops, the troops you command will cooperate with my troops to carry out the final encirclement and annihilation battle.

If you take Shilipu, I will order to attack the Japanese division behind me. Therefore, there will not be too much time left for you. If you don’t want other troops to steal the limelight, try to keep up with my offensive rhythm!”

"Please rest assured, please ensure that the task is completed!"

Xu Hu, who had finished saluting Hu Biao, looked at Yu Xuezhong again, but Yu Xuezhong also laughed and scolded: "Go! Let's watch and study hard in the next battle. It is your blessing to learn to fight with General Feihu. Do you understand?"

"Yes, the military seat!"

Hu Biao didn't say much about what Xuezhong said, and said directly: "Pillar, prepare! Bombing for five minutes! Once five minutes arrive, the offensive troops will attack immediately. Within ten minutes, strive to end the battle!"

"Yes, captain!"

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Yu Xuezhong was filled with sighs. Even if there were only two squadrons of Japanese devils in the village ahead, if he was commanding the troops to attack, he would not dare to say words to capture him for ten minutes.

But looking at Hu Biao's expression, attacking such a village seemed to have become the appetizer for the battle tonight. In fact, the Japanese who surrounded Shilipu were indeed just an appetizer. The real big meal is still behind!

"The gunner is in place! Continue to shell the gun for five minutes and release it!"

As the artillery commanders yelled corresponding words one after another, the artillery deployed outside Shilipu fired shells at the Japanese army in Shilipu almost at the same time. At this time, there was still some light at the end of the sky, and it was not completely dark yet.

Many of the Japanese who had finished their dinner in the village hid in the private houses to rest. When the whistling shells fell from the air with the drizzle, many Japanese Japanese were completely unresponsive and were blown to death.

Mortars and infantry artillery cooperated with each other and fired waves of shells. The Japanese army stationed in Shilipu suddenly became like headless flies and could only run away with their heads in their arms, hoping to find a place to hide and escape the threat of deadly shells.

The 51st Army Guard Regiment, which had lurked to the offensive position, as well as the Preparatory Company commanded by Lei Xiong and a prisoner of war company, were quietly watching the artillery feast. Such a scene was also difficult for many officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War Army.
