Chapter 334: Pre-War Storm!
Zhao Jiaji, the temporary garrison headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army.
After the two devil Shaozo finished speaking, all the devil officers present focused their eyes on the deputy wing captain Abe Kozaburo, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
Obviously, the crowd was already quite dissatisfied with his conservative and cowardly behavior.
"It's getting late now, and night will soon be coming. Compared with night battles, our Imperial Japanese Army was more suitable for daytime battles.
However, the Chinese Second Theater Guard Regiment is extremely good at night battles, especially when it was in the Black Tiger Gorge, it is said that Yang Chen has led the team to attack the First Army garrison at night more than once.
The first night attack severely damaged the Hirakawa brigade and beheaded the brigade commander, Major General Hirakawa Ichiro; In the second night attack, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade was severely damaged, and the brigade commander, Major General Tanigawa Kiyokawa, was captured.
Therefore, although there seems to be no moat here, the night is undoubtedly the best moat for the enemy.
Why don't we wait one night and let the Imperial soldiers of our Second Wing rest for one night, and then launch an attack after recuperating their spirits, so as to achieve a one-hit kill! ”
After hearing this, the devil officers suddenly fell into hesitation.
"Report!"
And at this moment, a "report" at the door suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked up at the door at once.
"What's the situation?"
Ishiguro Sadazo knew that there were no special circumstances, and his guards would not dare to interrupt their meeting rashly, so he hurriedly asked out loud.
I saw that this devil officer and soldier saluted him, and then paused and said, "Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, according to the report of the scouts in front, the enemy troops ten miles south are currently rushing in the direction of Zhao Jiaji." ”
"Nani?"
Ishiguro was stunned when he heard this.
"Don't these stupid Chinese people know that my second wing is here?"
A devil Shaozuo frowned and asked rhetorically.
"Nope."
Deputy Wing Captain Kozaburo Abe shook his head to deny his speculation, and then continued, "We have all sent scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and Yang Chen, a cunning person, can't not send scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. ”
"Baga Ya Road! I'm mad at me! This hateful Yang Chen, it is clear that he didn't take the Second Wing of the Imperial Japanese Army in his eyes!
Give me my orders and go out of town to meet the enemy!
We must annihilate all these hateful Chinese people! ”
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, no! Now that the sky is getting dark, if you rush to attack, I am afraid that you will fall for Yang Chen's tricks......"
Before the deputy co-captain Abe Kozaburo finished speaking, he was sharply interrupted by the co-captain Ishiguro Sadazo, "Hmph! Treacherous, what about treacherous? I will use my strength to tell these hateful Chinese people that in the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are in vain! ”
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, can you listen to the humble man and finish his words?"
"You say!"
Although Ishiguro was already quite dissatisfied in his heart, he still suppressed his anger. 35xs
"With the combat effectiveness of the Second Wing of our Imperial Japanese Army, it is naturally a simple matter to annihilate the 500 enemy military districts.
But have you thought about it, Your Excellency Captain, since this squadron is trying to attack us, why don't we just wait in this town?
Wait for them to cast their own nets.
In this way, relying on the small town as a position and the civilian house as a cover, we will definitely be able to easily defeat and completely annihilate it, and we can also greatly reduce the casualties of our army.
In addition, the reason why this damn squadron dared to take the initiative this time, if the lowly guess was good, it was probably because the 18th Cavalry Wing had just been annihilated, which made them burst with self-confidence. At the same time, it may be this damn squadron that should not know the strength of our army.
Therefore, we should grasp this point more and make a fuss about it.
If our army attacks now, when the enemy discovers the strength of our army, he may flee in despair.
On this big night, even if you want to pursue, you can't catch up.
After all, in terms of familiarity with the terrain, we are definitely inferior to these Chinese natives!
Therefore, whether it is to annihilate this abominable enemy army, or to reduce the casualties of our Imperial Japanese Army, for the time being, it is not suitable for us to take the initiative! ”
Ishiguro Zhenzang frowned, he didn't say anything immediately, but after a moment of silence, he raised his head and glanced around and asked, "I don't know what you think of the deputy captain's analysis?" ”
A group of devil officers, you look at me, I look at you.
After a moment, a junior officer took the lead in speaking, "Humble and agreeing to the proposal of the deputy wing commander. ”
"The lowly also agrees with the proposal of the deputy wing captain!"
As this devil Shaozuo spoke, the rest of the devil officers also expressed their positions.
"Excellent! Since everyone agrees with the deputy captain's proposal, let's go ahead with it. ”
Ishiguro Sadazo nodded, his gaze swept around again, revealing an undisguised Mori cold killing intent, and continued, "Everyone, get ready for battle!" There is only one goal tonight, to wipe out this group of damned Chinese people, and not let any of them go!
Use Yang Chen's head to achieve our immortal feats! ”
"Haya!"
All the devil officers got up excitedly, and after saluting the captain of the wing, Ishiguro Sadazo, they all walked quickly towards the door.
……
On the other side, with the assistance of the reconnaissance battalion intelligence, Yang Chen had already led the officers and men of the guard regiment to three miles south of Zhaojiaji.
He did not immediately launch an attack, but ordered Adjutant Wang Gui, Reconnaissance Battalion Commander Xu Hailang, and Battalion Commander Liu Zheping to lead a detachment of men and horses and five field artillery pieces to the west, east, and north of Zhaojiaji.
Because what he wants to do is to annihilate the little devils in the Zhao family, not to defeat them.
Outside the town, the Devil Scouts have been cleared by the fighters of the Guard Regiment Reconnaissance Battalion.
However, the information that the large force of the guard regiment had arrived three miles south of the town was still collected by the scouts newly sent by the devil and transmitted to the former enemy headquarters of the second wing of the Japanese army.
"Nani? These damn middle men actually stopped, what are they going to do? Could it be that he has discovered the strength of my second wing and plans to retreat and escape? ”
Just when Ishiguro was frowning and a little puzzled, another piece of information came back again.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Ishiguro couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha!" These stupid Chinese people actually tried in vain to encircle and annihilate the more than 3,000 Japanese Imperial Army of our Second Wing with 500 troops! ”
"Hahaha!"
The command headquarters, and the rest of the devil officers couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.
"Pass my order, the whole army will not move, wait for these stupid Chinese to deploy the defensive line.
Hahaha! Soon, these stupid Chinese people will know how ridiculous their actions are at this moment! ”
What Ishiguro didn't know was that because of his order, his second wing missed the last chance to escape.
Of course, that's a story for later, and we'll get to that in the next chapter.
