In order not to leak the news, Yang Chen did not quietly lead his troops out of the city until 12 o'clock in the evening.

Among them, Xinxiang is about 50 miles away from Wanjialing, and Xiuwu is only more than 30 miles away from Xinxiang.

If the Japanese army set off at full speed, it would not take an hour to rush from Xiuwu to Wanjialing.

The Tiger Regiment had to arrive at Wanjialing before the Japanese army and build fortifications.

So, there is not much time left for the Tiger Bentuan.

Out of Xinxiang City, Yang Chen led his troops to run wildly all the way towards Wanjialing.

The 50-mile journey took less than an hour and a half for the Tiger Ben Regiment army to reach the place.

Wanjia territory is located at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain, is a hilly area, a highway, through the mountains.

This highway is the only way to go from Xiuwu to Xinxiang.

There was no time to rest, so Yang Chen, Wang Gui and others commanded the soldiers to repair the ambush fortifications on the high ground on both sides of the road.

Fortunately, the terrain here is high, condescending, and overgrown with all kinds of wild grasses and miscellaneous trees.

So, you don't have to put too much effort into building a concealed bunker.

More than 1,500 soldiers, under the personal leadership of Yang Chen, worked together, and in just two or three hours, they dug out several simple trenches and used some grass and trees as cover.

Preparing for the ambush, Yang Chen immediately asked the brothers to rest for a while, hoping to recover some physical strength before the arrival of the devil army.

Yang Chen handed over the troops to Wang Gui, Xu Hailang, and Chen Ming to command.

He himself came to the artillery position.

In this ambush operation, the disparity between the forces of the enemy and us is quite large, so at the beginning of the battle, it is necessary to concentrate firepower as much as possible, inflict as many casualties as possible on the little devils, and narrow the gap between the forces of the two sides.

And disrupting the devil's structure and command system can be beneficial to the next battle.

In particular, this devil unit also has strategic weapons and equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, so the role of artillery is particularly important.

This time, Yang Chen took out all the family funds, and there were more than 40 grenadiers in total.

There are also more than 20 60mm mortars, and 10 75mm infantry guns.

Some of them were captured from the Japanese army in Xinxiang.

It is worth mentioning that in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Yang Chen did not buy new weapons from the system mall for the time being.

……

Quiet time passed in a blink of an eye, and soon, the time came to 7 o'clock in the morning, and it was dawn.

Outside Xiuwu City, Matsushita Hongcheng Dazuo had already gathered his men and made an impassioned speech.

He led a large army and slaughtered Xinxiang.

Because intelligence shows that after the capture of Xinxiang, the Tiger Ben Regiment was robbing homes and houses, and recruiting soldiers to replenish personnel, and they were busy all day yesterday, which was a lot of fun.

In addition, the operation was very secretive and fast.

Therefore, Panasonic Hongcheng subconsciously thought that the Tiger Ben Regiment had not received the information yet, and it was too late to take precautions.

So, this guy is called an arrogant person.

Along the way, he was arrogant, constantly urging the army to speed up.

Matsushita Hongcheng is only 26 years old, and originally, it is unlikely that he will become the Japanese army at this age.

However, because their Matsushita family has a bit of a cordial relationship with the imperial family, and Matsushita Hongcheng himself is also a fanatical soldier of the Young Zhuang faction, his style and philosophy coincide with the current Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.

Therefore, he was able to rise from a midshipman officer to the rank of Dazuo in just a few years.

Of course, it is undeniable that this guy is indeed a rare warrior.

Since participating in the war of aggression against China, he has made many military exploits.

As one of the youngest Dazuo in the empire, Panasonic Hongcheng has an unlimited future in the future, and naturally has arrogant capital.

In order to show his military domineering, he prefers to ride a horse rather than riding in a car. new world

About an hour later, Panasonic Hongcheng rode a pure white high-headed horse and led his troops to Wanjialing.

Looking at the subordinates in front of him and behind him, loaded with guns and ammunition, and marching in a hurry.

Looking at the Wan Jialing in front of him, this guy's eyelids jumped for no reason, and there was a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.

made the guy who was arrogant before suddenly become a little uneasy.

"Phew! ——”

Matsushita Hongchengle stopped the war, then called a staff officer and asked, "Ahead, what kind of work is it?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, in front of you is Wan Jialing!"

The devil staff officer bowed in response.

"Wan Jialing?"

Matsushita Hongcheng muttered to himself in a low voice, and then asked, "Is it possible to bypass it?" ”

The devil's staff officer looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said, "But it's okay, but we need to travel at least 50 miles more, and all the roads are mountain and forest trails."

Military trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and even motorcycles are impassable. ”

"In this way, it is impossible to bypass the Wanjialing in front!"

Panasonic Hongcheng raised his head, frowned and stared at the Wan family leader in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he shouted in his heart: "Order the whole army, accelerate the advance, and be sure to pass the Wan family leader in front as quickly as possible!" ”

"Haya!"

……

The picture is pulled to the Wanjia collar, the artillery position of the Tiger Regiment.

The reconnaissance battalion was wiped out, and the task of reconnoitering the enemy's situation temporarily fell to the special operations brigade.

At this time, a special combat team member who was in charge of reconnoitering the enemy's situation suddenly ran over from the front with a roar, and before he had time to salute more than 20 meters away, he reported to Yang Chen: "Report to the regiment, the enemy army is less than two kilometers away from Wan Jialing.

However, for some reason, this group of enemy troops suddenly stopped. ”

"Stopped?"

Yang Chen frowned and whispered, "Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed?" Or did the little devil receive some rumors? ”

Fortunately, not long after Yang Chen fell into a deep groan, another special combat team member ran over from the front.

"Report to the group, the little devil has been pulled out, and the speed is much faster than before."

Hearing this, Yang Chen nodded, revealing a sudden smile.

Thinking about it, it should be the Japanese commander who saw Wan Jialing, and out of vigilance, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

That's why the order was given to stop advancing.

However, this guy is unwilling to take a detour, after all, there is a cloud in the art of war: soldiers are expensive and fast.

If you take a detour, you will not only have to waste a few more hours, but you will also have to abandon the strategic weapons of tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery.

It may even be possible to leave time for the Tiger Bentuan to react and prepare!

Therefore, this guy suddenly gave the order to speed up the march.

Even so, Yang Chen couldn't help but think highly of this enemy commander he had never met.

It's not an ordinary person, and it's not a wine bag and a rice bag!

"Pass my order, all battalions and companies should enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time!"

"Yes!"

……

A few minutes later, the vanguard of the Japanese army came to the Wanjialing Pass, and the army was mighty.

Due to the drought for several days, the road surface appeared extremely dry, and the army kicked up a cloud of dust like a yellow dragon along the way.
