Chapter 60: The Battle Begins

As for the negotiation team, Wang Lei has never seen it, if it weren't for the fact that they found out that it was an independent regiment, Wang Lei would have wanted to keep them and become experimental subjects, as for what they said about the preferential treatment of prisoners according to the Geneva Convention, Wang Lei silently said that he had not signed this, the little ninjas in the inner cave had been dissected by Bai Xue several times, of course, under Bai Xue's high-tech medical conditions, they were still alive. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the negotiation team has been clamoring for a solution by force, Wang Lei looked disdainful, your army is almost at the door, and you are still calling here, when we are idiots.

After driving out the Japanese negotiating squad, the Separate Regiment completed its final combat preparations and waited for the Japanese to arrive at the expected position.

Ikegami Kenji Dazuo has been very depressed recently, he has been commanding troops to fight on the front line, accumulating combat exploits, and he can be promoted to major general, but he didn't expect the base camp to transfer him back to the rear with an order, and let him lead two infantry wings and a tank squad of the 13th Wing and 47th Wing to attack the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Although he now commands the strength of nearly a brigade, in his eyes, the Eighth Route Army and the bandits in the mountains generally do not dare to confront the Japanese Imperial Army head-on, they only dare to sneak in the rear and make some small moves. Kenkichi Ikegami was confident that those Tsuchihachi were not his enemies at all, and fighting them would not show his command talent at all. Ikegami Kenkichi was reluctant to come, but the base camp had several urgent orders, he had to give up the front line command and rush to Shanxi, and dare to go to the designated position with 2 infantry wings, but I don't know why the base camp kept reminding him to be careful of the independent regiment, although he really didn't know what to worry about in the face of these cowardly and timid enemies, but he was still cautious all the way, but two days passed, and they did not encounter any accidents.

"Report to Ikegami Daisa, we have reached the first line of heaven." Kenyoshi Ikegami was still thinking about the order of the base camp, and the scout in front reported.

"A glimmer of God!" Ikegami Kenkichi took out the map and looked at it, and then directly ordered: "Order the troops to speed up, we will arrive at Niujiazhuang tomorrow to attack!" ”

Just as the herald was about to convey Ikegami's order, a voice sounded beside him: "Ikegami-kun! This is very suitable for the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army, and since the base camp has repeatedly reminded us to be careful of the independent regiment, I think it is better for us to be careful! "It was Okamoto Hoyuki Osa, who was the commander of the 13th Wing, and this time he was ordered to cooperate with Kenyoshi Ikegami's operation.

"Okamoto-kun said yes, have you ever scouted the cliffs on both sides?" Kenyoshi Ikegami asked Looking at the special terrain of the first line of heaven, this terrain is unusually honest ambush, although he looks down on the Eighth Route Army, but thinking about the order of the base camp and the reminder of Okamoto Hoyuki, he thinks that it is better for him to act cautiously.

"Please forgive Ikegami Daisa, the rock walls on both sides are steep, and we can't go up for the time being!"

"In that case, tell the team to stop advancing! You immediately send people to probe the situation on the rock walls on both sides of the sky, and you must explore carefully! Check to prevent the eight-way ambush, got it? Kenyoshi Ikegami commanded

"Hay!"

After a delay for a long time, the scouts came with information that everything was normal on the rock walls on both sides, and no traces of the Eight Routes were found, Ikegami Kenkichi thought that he and Okamoto Hoyuki were a little too nervous, all their actions were carried out in secret, he did not believe that the Eighth Route Army could know their movements, and after a short rest, Ikegami Kenyoshi ordered the troops to pass directly through the first line of heaven. The first line of the queen of heaven is a valley with a wide field of vision, watching the sky getting late, Ikegami Kenkichi directly ordered the troops to be stationed in the valley to rest, they have been on the road from the battlefield to this for 2 days, although there are trucks, but the soldiers are still very tired, tomorrow they will be able to rush to the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army to attack, Ikegami Kenkichi as a qualified commander, knows that a good mental state is of great help to tomorrow's battle, and he is confident that in this open terrain, the Eighth Route Army has no possibility of attacking himself at all.

Unbeknownst to Ikegami, on a hillside far away from the valley, an Independent Regiment scout was watching them in the grass, and quietly left after seeing them stationed in the valley.

At night, in the unknown valley, the two infantry wings of the Japanese army have been stationed here, except for the soldiers standing guard, the other Japanese soldiers have already slept, Ikegami Kenyoshi has just fallen asleep, in the blur he faintly heard a burst of sound breaking the air, he always felt that this sound was somewhat familiar, suddenly, he woke up, he knew what the sound was: howitzers, and still a large number of howitzers, he had heard it on the battlefield before, but it had been the sound of them firing at the heads of the Kuomintang troops, This time he heard it clearly, it was the howitzer flying towards him: "Enemy attack!!!! "Kenkichi Ikegami was so loud in the middle of the night, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of ammunition explosions.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A round of shelling passed quickly, and Ikegami Kenkichi quickly ran out of the tent, fortunately, the hit rate of this shelling was not high, and there were not too many casualties, but looking at the large number of craters around, a thought flashed in Ikegami's mind: artillery position! Test firing! Although he didn't know why he encountered a large number of artillery shells, he knew that for the formation of artillery, the first round of shooting was just a test shot, and the shooting for the later shots was provided for the shooting Zhuyuan, and now the test shot was over, so ......, as soon as Ikegami Kenkichi thought of this, the sound of breaking the air sounded again, and as soon as Ikegami Kenyoshi's words of concealment came to his mouth, he was stunned by the cannonballs that fell beside him.

"Battalion commander, I feel like we're like artillery this time!" In the artillery behind a hillside outside the valley of the Independent Regiment, the guard next to the commander of the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment said.

"Yes! In the past, we bombarded us with little devils, but today it was finally our turn to blow up the little devils, but it's a pity that such a cannon is not ours! The battalion commander looked at the 94-type mountain cannon that was constantly fired before his death and said.

"Haha! Old money, look at what you said, even if we have so many infantry guns, we don't have enough shells, thanks to the little madman, we used to have a few guns, and we had to constantly calculate the aiming before firing for fear of missing, and after firing, count how much we have left. Which is like this time, you can test fire first, adjust the shooting Zhuyuan, and then cover it with artillery fire. Said the political commissar next to the battalion commander.

"Yes! It's just that Political Commissar Wu said that this time can you transfer them out before dawn, and when it is dawn, the plane of Little Japan should come, I can't bear these treasures! The battalion commander looked at these 94-type mountain cannons distressedly.
