"The mountain and field artillery have gone to attack the Japanese chariot squadron. What about the two artillery brigades brought by the Japanese? It is impossible to use mortars to fight against their mountain and field artillery, right?" Kong Jie continued to ask.
Huang Yu continued what Kong Jie said: "Commander, you are really right."
"I do plan to use mortars to kill the Guizishan Field Artillery Brigade."
"It sounds a bit fanciful, but that doesn't mean it can't be done."
"After determining the specific location of the pocket formation that eliminated the Japanese tank brigade, we can roughly determine the location of the artillery brigade when the returning tank brigade was attacked based on the Japanese army's formation."
"Including the seizures, we have eighty or ninety mortars in hand, if not a hundred."
"Take out the sixty gates and divide them into two."
"Place them about two kilometers away from the road. After the Japanese tank brigade is attacked, they will immediately target the Japanese artillery brigade."
"At that time, the mountain artillery brought by the Japanese army was still parked on the road and was not set up."
"As long as our artillery fire is strong enough and cruel enough, even if it cannot destroy the field artillery brought by the Japanese army, it can still severely damage the Japanese gunners, making it impossible for them to get close to the mountain field artillery covered by artillery fire, and thus unable to participate in the battle."
"The remaining mortars cover the infantry and tank troops for a frontal assault on the Japanese light infantry."
"The two cavalry squadrons responsible for reconnaissance tasks are handed over to the two cavalry battalions."
"They haven't really fought against the Japanese cavalry since they were formed."
"Although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is not as good as that of the Japanese cavalry, their equipment is better than that of the Japanese army. They should be able to eat them."
"Pah..." Li Yunlong punched the table in front of him, his eyes shining brightly, and he said firmly.
"beat……"
"A surprise battle like this must be fought."
"There's no reason why we shouldn't eat the fat meat that's served to us."
"Lao Kong, I support Xiao Huanghua in fighting this battle."
"We still have the old rules. You lead one team and I lead another team. We will set up the battlefield near Huji and swallow up the reinforcements sent by Okamura Neji."
Huang Yu added: "I still have a battalion of troops left here for the little Japanese reinforcements to perform."
"It makes them feel that the Japanese troops stationed here are still fighting, so they can relax their vigilance and lead their troops to reinforce the battlefield with great fanfare."
Li Yunlong clapped his hands and applauded: "This method is good...I agree..."
Kong Jie didn't answer immediately.
He stared at the map and considered for half a minute before answering: "Then let's fight this battle."
"Now that we are here, we must beat Okamura Neji thoroughly."
"Maybe if the fighter plane passes, we will never encounter such a good opportunity again."
…………
Kawaguchi Osaka is the captain of the left reinforcement force sent by Okamura Neji.
When he was still five kilometers away from the reinforcement target, the shouts from the battlefield faintly reached his ears.
This means that the Eighth Route Army is still fighting on the battlefield. As long as you are fast enough, it is still very possible to surround them on the battlefield and annihilate them together.
Then this iron wall siege against the Yi Zhong base area will end early.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. As I hurried on, I urged the troops to speed up their march.
When he was still three kilometers away from the battlefield, the messenger of the cavalry squadron suddenly ran toward him in a panic: "Your Excellency, the captain..."
"We found a large number of imperial army corpses in front."
"There are as many as four hundred..."
"Judging from their identities, they should have been attacked on the way back to the reinforcement station, and the entire army was destroyed."
The wing chief of staff said without a frown: "Sir..."
"The Eighth Route Army's blocking force that can eat more than 400 elite Imperial Army troops in one bite is definitely not something to be booed at. Maybe they are hiding somewhere in front waiting for us to hit the muzzle of our guns."
"The humble position recommends that the troops immediately slow down their marching speed, strengthen their alert, and at the same time expand the search area to prevent the Eighth Route Army from ambushing us."
“Boom, boom, boom… da da da…”
At this moment, the sound of firefights from the battlefield suddenly became intense.
Colonel Kawaguchi quickly raised his telescope and looked toward the battlefield.
Although he couldn't see the real scene, he could see the fire from the artillery shells, which dyed the sky where the battlefield was located red, which showed how fierce the fighting was there.
Then he asked the communications staff officer on the side: "Have you not contacted the fighting troops yet?"
The communications staff officer shook his head and replied: "We lost contact with them half an hour ago, and then we never contacted them again."
"The telegram they sent earlier showed that the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops were equipped with a large number of mountain artillery and tanks. When they found important targets in the garrison, they used mountain artillery fire. The humble officials suspected that their unit headquarters was hit by artillery fire and the radio station was destroyed, causing the contact between the two sides to be temporarily suspended. Interruption."
Colonel Kawaguchi nodded, obviously very much approving of the communications staff analysis.
Immediately ordered to the chief of staff: "The sound of firefights coming from the battlefield is getting thicker and louder."
"The participating troops may be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army at any time. We must seize the time to reinforce the battlefield and encircle the Eighth Route Army there."
"Otherwise they'll slip right under our noses."
"Then everyone's visit was in vain."
"As for the Eighth Route Army reinforcements you are worried about."
"Although they have the strength to eat more than 400 of us in a short period of time, have you noticed that these dead soldiers are basically light infantry with very few artillery."
"The Eighth Route Army that attacked them was equipped with tanks. I don't want to say that everyone should know the result of a light infantry team fighting tanks."
"We have more than two thousand people, equipped not only with a tank squadron, but also with a mountain artillery brigade."
"If the Eighth Route Army's reinforcements really dare to cause trouble for us, I don't mind getting off to a good start here. I'll kill some of the Eighth Route Army first and then encircle their main force."
The co-captain's analysis makes sense.
Although the chief of staff felt that there were some problems here, he could not find any evidence to refute the wing captain's analysis, so he could only nod his head in approval.
"Rumble..."
The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded more than a thousand meters away, and the sound became louder and louder. It was obvious that they were heading towards the reinforcements.
Colonel Kawaguchi looked tense and immediately ordered: "No, there are cavalry coming towards us."
"The troops immediately prepared for battle, and the cavalry squadron immediately rushed forward to find out the strength of the opponent's troops."
Although the Japanese cavalry squadron only had a hundred cavalry, their fearless fighting style made them not hesitate to attack them, even if they knew that the opponent had more troops than themselves.
And they are also very confident in their fighting ability.
As a result, as soon as the two sides came into contact with the cavalry squadron, they were killed and turned upside down.
Colonel Kawaguchi flew into a rage and cursed loudly: "Bagaya Road..."
"The Eighth Route Army is so cunning. They used a large number of submachine guns and automatic pistols during the cavalry charge. This is unfair..."
"Woooooooo..."
Just as the commander was about to continue his scolding, the roar of shells streaking across the sky sounded again.
Before anyone could react, a violent explosion sounded on the highway not far away.
The fire splashed, a tank was instantly exploded and turned into a ball of fire, and an armored vehicle was overturned, sending out thick black smoke.
