Chapter 72: Surprise Attack on Heavenly Town (Third Update!) Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes! )

In the direction of Dongping Mountain, at the west exit of the canyon, after the successful breakthrough from the minefield, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade Sakai Hoji was afraid that the 358th Regiment would still have an ambush here, so he did not dare to hesitate at all, until he led the team to rush to an unnamed hill, with the help of the dense forest above the mountain bag as a cover, and sent several soldiers of the Imperial Army to be on guard, so he dared to take a break.

Counting the men, the Great Imperial Japanese Army, which originally led an infantry brigade, plus a puppet regiment, totaled more than three thousand.

After this battle, there were less than a hundred people left with him at this moment, and all of them were embarrassed, and more than half of them were still frightened by the Imperial Army.

Heavy weapons are seriously missing, and the only thing that can be counted is only three crooked-handled light machine guns.

Sakai Hoji's face was full of undisguised grief and indignation, and he clenched his steel teeth, almost biting out a trace of red blood stains on his gums.

He knew that this battle was a complete defeat, and he knew what the consequences would be; Even if he led the rest of the men and horses to annihilate the second company of the 358th Regiment guarding Tianzhen, it would be useless.

"Report! A group of pursuers was spotted in the rear! ”

Not long after, a little devil officer and soldier in charge of the guard ran over and reported urgently.

Hearing this suddenly, the hearts of all the Japanese officers and soldiers were tight, and the Imperial Association Army was not so nervous because they couldn't understand Japanese, but they just looked confused.

"Report! That's our Great Japanese Imperial Army! ”

At this moment, another devil officer and soldier ran over again.

"Oh? Our Great Imperial Japanese Army? ”

Sakai Hoji thought about it, and soon realized that these should be another group of imperial troops who broke through from the enemy's trap after him.

"They, how many are there?"

"Probably...... About thirty or forty people. ”

The weak response of the devil officers and soldiers.

"Thirty or forty?"

Sakai Hoji had a subtle look of disappointment on his face, and then he got up and walked in the direction of the canyon.

Seeing this, the Japanese puppet soldiers got up one after another and followed behind him.

"Your Excellency, General!"

A Japanese captain led by an officer of the Japanese army saw Sakai Hoji wearing a military uniform of the Imperial Army, and was stunned at first, and then bowed and saluted.

"Hmm!"

Sakai Hoji nodded, his gloomy gaze swept over the people in front of him, only to see that they were dirty, full of embarrassment, and their originally neat and clean military uniforms had become tattered, many of them had no hats, and their hair was also burned, and they no longer had the mighty appearance of the Japanese Imperial Army.

"How's the battle going in the canyon?"

Sakai Hoji glanced around, and finally fixed on the face of the lieutenant officer under him again.

"Shape...... The situation is not optimistic. ”

"Just say it."

"Except for our group of men and horses, the Great Japanese Imperial Army behind was all blocked by the enemy in the canyon, and life and death were unpredictable.

Perhaps there is still a part of the Great Japanese Imperial Army at the east exit of the canyon that stands out from the encirclement, but it should not be too much. ”

After listening to this, the expression on Sakai Hoji's face became more and more gloomy, almost dripping water, he thought that the Great Japanese Imperial Army might suffer heavy casualties in this battle, but he did not expect such a heavy loss.

"Your Excellency General, what should we do now?"

After a while, seeing that the brigade commander Sakai Ho stopped talking for a long time, a young officer asked.

"What do you mean?"

Sakai Hoji asked rhetorically.

"The reason why our army was defeated was not because its strength was inferior to the enemy's, but because it entered the ambush circle they had prepared in advance.

This battle is really humiliating for our Imperial Japanese Army, and we must break this hateful enemy army to pieces, so as to vent the hatred in our hearts and correct the name of our Imperial Japanese Army!

Therefore, the lowly duty suggests that we kill back!

Don't these abominable soldiers like to hide in the mountains and jungles? Then we can just let them see the power of our Imperial Japanese Army's mountain and jungle operations! ”

Shao Zuo's sonorous and powerful words greatly stimulated this group of arrogant devil officers and soldiers, making them rekindle their enthusiasm and open their mouths in unison.

"Yours? Do you all think so? ”

Sakai asked, glancing around.

"Haya! The lowly rank thinks so, and please give the order to His Excellency the General! ”

"Stupid!"

Sakai Hoji glared angrily at all the officers and soldiers under him, and roared sharply, in fact, he had this intention at first, but after a little calm, he gave up.

Sakai Hoji's eyes were like knives, and he once again swept over all the devil officers and soldiers, and shouted: "That's right! Whether it is a mountain battle or a plain battle, our Imperial Japanese Army is the first in Unai!

But the problem now is that we don't know much about the terrain of this mountainous area, and the enemy knows it.

If you attack rashly, you may fall into the traps and traps set by the enemy again, do you want to continue to repeat the mistakes of the past? ”

The reprimand of the brigade commander Sakai Hoji frightened the faces of all the devil officers and soldiers to change drastically, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the sharp gaze that he glanced at.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

After a long time, the devil Shaozuo spoke again to break the silence in his eyes.

"The enemy's troops responsible for guarding Lingchuan County are only a company, and they have all been deployed in that canyon area, and at this moment, the innocent county town must be empty, and there is not even a little garrison force.

Even if there is, we can handle it all with our current strength.

And now, although we have suffered heavy casualties, from another point of view, we can be regarded as breaking through the enemy's encirclement.

And let's not forget that before the battle, there was still a squad of our troops who had already made a detour up the mountain from the rear to investigate the situation; They can also be regarded as a new force of our army, and with their strength, they can completely defeat the strength of one battalion in a frontal hard fight! ”

"Your Excellency General!"

After making up his mind, Sakai Hoji led his Japanese puppet army to quickly rush towards the county seat of Tianzhen, but when they arrived at the county seat of Tianzhen, they were dumbfounded.

"Your Excellency General, how can the gates of the county seat be wide open this day, and not even a single enemy soldier can see it, this is too unusual, right? Even if there are no soldiers available in China, Tianzhen is a major town anyway, and there are still hundreds of garrisons, right?

Could it be that this is another conspiracy of the enemy army, deliberately luring us into the city? ”

Tianzhen County, on a small dirt bag three miles away from the east gate, the devil Shaozo slowly put down the binoculars in his hand and asked the brigade commander Sakai Hoji who was lying on the side.

With the previous lesson, he had to be extremely careful, who had become a frightened bird.

"Your analysis is valid, but it doesn't rule out another possibility."

Sakai Hoji frowned in response.

"What is possible?"

The devil Shaozuo subconsciously asked.
