It is about 110 kilometers from Yuci City to Nie County. The 8th Independent Brigade reinforced Nie City along the Yu-Nie County Highway at a marching speed of 3 to 5 kilometers per hour;
The Harada Brigade rescued Nie County this time, bringing four infantry brigades, a field artillery battalion, a tank squadron, a cavalry squadron, and a baggage brigade, with a total strength of more than 6,000 men.
Under normal circumstances, it would be good to send two brigades, but this time it is different. They have to face the main force of the Chuxiong Independent Brigade, known as the nemesis of the imperial army. Although there are three reserve regiments, if you add the 881 and 882 from Nie County, Groups, that’s five groups!
Major General Harada was not sure of victory between the four brigades and the five regiments of the independent brigade;
This cannot be blamed on Major General Harada being timid, but because Chu Xiong's reputation is too great. Not only is he known as the enemy's nemesis, but he is also known as the "general scavenger" in private. More than one general has died in his hands with more than one slap!
Two brigade-level detachments have been annihilated and severely damaged, and the regiment-level officers can even gather together a squad, and he never takes prisoners. For such a devil, it is understandable for Major General Harada to be cautious.
"Arai-kun, according to your judgment, where will Chuxiong ambush us? In what form will the ambush be carried out?"
While resting on the way, Harada once again asked the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Arai.
Lieutenant Commander Arai said to the map:
"Your Excellency General, the imperial army has four infantry brigades, marching along the road, which is equivalent to a long snake formation. The cavalry squadron is responsible for searching the 500-meter range on both sides of the road, and the chariot squadron is responsible for clearing the way;
The four infantry brigades were divided into three echelons: front 2, middle 1, and rear 1. The baggage and brigade headquarters were located in the middle. The length of the marching column was more than five kilometers.
For such a large force, there won't be too many places suitable for ambushes, because the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army also need to be deployed. Too few troops is no different from dying.
I took a closer look and found that the only places suitable for ambush are here, here, and here. We can definitely send a cavalry squadron to expand the search range first. To be honest, the Eighth Route Army does not yet have the ability to ambush brigade-level groups! "
This is not because Lieutenant Colonel Arai is arrogant. It is possible to ambush a group or a brigade. Not to mention that Arai doesn't believe it, Major General Harada actually doesn't believe it either.
War has its own laws, that is, strength comes first. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just a cloud!
Chu Xiong is a human being, not a god!
Nor can he change the general laws of war.
After understanding this, Harada felt a little relieved, but he still asked Lieutenant Colonel Arai again and again to tell the cavalry squadron to work hard and not be careless!
Lieutenant Colonel Arai was right. Chu Xiong had never thought about using three "regiments" to ambush the 8th Brigade on the march. This was not in line with the laws of war. There was no enemy to ambush the brigade along the way. terrain.
He already has information about the Harada Brigade from Hanako Minami, and he has a better choice!
Of course, Harada must be ambushed when it's time to ambush. There can't be three "regiments" ambushed along the way. There is no problem in ambushing an artillery battalion with 8 Wei Shen cannons.
The ambush terrain required for the eight Wei Shen cannons is only about a hundred square meters, and it is too easy to find along hundreds of kilometers of roads.
Harada has been looking for Chuxiong, and at this time Chuxiong is leading the main force of the eastward column, walking in the opposite direction to Harada's brigade;
Still the same sentence:
"You hit yours, I'll hit mine!"
The two sides were competing for speed, and both were marching in a hurry, except that Harada marched during the day and rested at night;
Chuxiong marched at night and rested during the day.
One is chasing the sun, the other is chasing the moon
"Brigadier, is this what you call mobile warfare? I really look forward to seeing the pained expressions of the Japanese."
"Zhang Yu, you have learned bad things from Yan Haoyu. Keep a distance from him in the future!"
"Brigadier, don't worry, I will stay away from him. Stay closer to you. You can still learn something by following the brigade commander;
Yan Haoyu spent a lot of time with you in the past, but look at how bad he is now. Others call him Little Chuxiong in private. "
Chu Xiong was just about to exaggerate that Boy Yu had a sharp eye, but suddenly he realized
"No, that doesn't sound right. How dare you hurt me now that you are so capable?"
By the time Chu Xiong reacted, Zhang Yu had already run dozens of meters away, and Chu Xiong was sure to kick him in the air.
"Oh, I was careless!"
Chu Xiong shook his head helplessly, causing a burst of laughter.
When a new sun rises, the Harada brigade is still 50 kilometers away from Nie County. If they march normally, they can arrive before dark;
The main force of the eastward detachment led by Chu Xiong was still 40 kilometers away from Yuci City, so they had to hide their whereabouts during the day.
If we march normally at this speed, the Japanese will have to reach Nie County first, which will definitely not work...
The Harada brigade buries the stove at three o'clock, and prepares meals at five o'clock. It is a long and urgent march, so the meal cannot be careless;
Although Harada was in a hurry to get to Nie County, he couldn't skip a hearty breakfast before departure.
There was only one day left to go from Nie County, and Chu Xiong hadn't shown up yet. This made Major General Harada feel so empty that he couldn't even eat breakfast!
Chief of Staff Lieutenant Commander Arai, who was eating with him, also felt it. In fact, he didn't sleep well all night;
People are so weird. They have been guarding against Chu Xiong's appearance, but are very much looking forward to his appearance. If he doesn't show up, it will be a waste of food and drinks!
"Arai-kun, there are only fifty kilometers left to Nie County, and there is only one spot suitable for a large army to ambush. Do you think Chuxiong will be waiting for us there?"
"Your Majesty General, I also hope to meet Chu Xiong there, but more than 90% of the time he won't set up an ambush in a place that everyone knows, and Chu Xiong won't be that stupid!
The imperial army will not give him a chance. The cavalry squadron will focus on the search and dig up the ground. Chuxiong cannot hide thousands of ambushes."
After Harada nodded, he couldn't help but pretend:
"Jun Chu, I really look forward to your appearance. Without you, I would be lonely with these thousands of troops!"
"Haha, Your Majesty General, you really have the style of a famous ancient general! It is exactly what China said: How can you be bright when you are good!
It was unlucky for Chu Xiong to meet the general. Chu Xiong, who had always been good at ambushes, was unable to attack because of the general's defense. "
Arai’s flattery was captured well, and Harada had enough of her addiction to showing off.
They don't seem to know that there is another saying for future generations of China - don't pretend to be cool, or you will be struck by lightning if you pretend to be cool!
One kilometer away, on an unknown mountain ridge, Yan Haoyu was observing the Japanese camp with a telescope. The direction he happened to be looking at was where Harada and Arai were showing off.
And lined up behind Yan Haoyu were eight 107mm 6-barreled rocket launchers, Wei Shenpao, which were used to attack Japanese pretenders. He, the regiment leader, personally directed this operation of attacking Japanese soldiers with long lightning strikes!
"Old Zhao, do you see it? In the middle is the Japanese baggage and brigade headquarters. It's up to you to fire three volleys!"
Zhao Hui, the deputy commander of the brigade artillery battalion, finally had the opportunity to stand alone this time. Naturally, he would not smash his golden name in front of his old brother Yan Haoyu.
"Old Yan, just watch. I'm not as good as you in fighting, and you're not as good as me in sex!"
After Zhao Hui finished speaking, he went over to direct the sex without waiting for Yan Haoyu to react. Man, who would admit that sex is not good?
"Old Zhao, who said I can't have sex—"
"Chirp! Chirp..."
Zhao Hui has already started a test firing!
Major General Harada and Lieutenant Colonel Arai, who were eating, turned pale because they both heard the sound of shells breaking through the air——
"Bagaya Road, Chu Xiong!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Eight 107mm rockets fell, seeming to give him a thumbs up - you are really a fucking genius!
"The enemy is attacking, disperse quickly!"
The experienced Harada knew at a glance that this was just a correction bomb, and the big drama was yet to come——
This time he guessed it again!
It's a pity that the eggs are of no use!
"Tweet, Tweet, Tweet, Tweet..."
really……
"Who sets off the fireworks?"
