The battle is fierce!

Everything was expected by Tachibana Daisa.

After the fierce battle at the county seat, both sides suffered heavy losses, but the Japanese skillfully retreated, avoiding the advance of the Chinese army.

From time to time, Tachibana Daisa looked into the ruins of the county seat, glanced at it, and a mocking smile was tattooed on the corner of his mouth, because, he felt, the Chinese were both cunning and stupid.

Such a number of troops, hidden underground, of course, are good, very creative, almost completely offset the Japanese army's crazy shelling and poison gas, yellow phosphorus bomb fire, so that Tachibana Osa still admires in his heart.

Amazing, Shina people, no wonder they have been able to resist the imperial army for so long.

However, hiding troops in tunnels also has major drawbacks.

It's a stupid way to sit back and wait.

The Japanese army withdrew the main force of Sakurai's brigade and transferred it to other aspects, leaving only a small number of troops to monitor, completely avoiding the trap of tunnel warfare of the Chinese army, and focusing on the enemy.

Now, the Chinese army is in the tunnels, can it come out?

No, as soon as you come out, it's okay to bubble, but on a large scale?

No way.

The Japanese army can quickly snipe around and besiege at a fixed point.

In this way, the Japanese army mastered the full rhythm.

It is estimated that Tachibana Daisa estimates that there are still a lot of Chinese troops in the underground.

"The people of China, especially the Tubalu, are really strong in combat, and they are the strong enemies and troubles of the empire." This practice of appreciating the enemy is actually narcissism.

The Tachibana Wing, which can defeat such a strong enemy, is even more worthy of appreciation!

The main force of the Tachibana Wing has moved westward, and the artillery and others are ready to respond to the main force at any time and bombard the Chinese army!

If the main force of the Chinese army is broken, then the Chinese army in the county town will become a turtle in the urn in the tunnel, hahaha!

Two infantry battalions of the Japanese army confronted the Chinese army on the front line.

After receiving the telegram, Yang Chaoran's troops of the three battalions made an all-out attack, divided into three routes, besieged the Japanese army, and had a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

On the open ground, they took advantage of cornfields and various bushes to shoot at the Japanese troops.

They also bombarded the Japanese with grenadiers and mortars, which greatly surprised the Japanese army.

|“ This is an extremely elite Chinese army, their weapons and ammunition are all still the imperial army system, this kind of army must have been brutalized and robbed by the imperial army many times! ”

The Japanese army was cautious and cautious, and did not dare to come nonsense.

They are more worried that behind the Chinese army, there are still main reserves waiting.

Only three battalions plus some people in the county town dare to confront a wing of the imperial army? It's either crazy or crazy!

The battle went on quickly.

The three battalions of the Chinese army were in the west, and they did not attack in a full-scale way, but only in a containment nature.

The Japanese scouts, Kuritano Yunzi and others, observed through telescopes, inexplicably: "Could it be that so many troops of the Zhina Army are rescuing the remnants of the county?" Or is it a decoy to lure the Imperial Army into pursuit? ”

The two infantry captains of the Japanese army who commanded the battle on the Western Front, plus Fujii, the acting captain of the third reinforcement, were somewhat confused.

However, all the Japanese officers and soldiers believed that victory must belong to the Imperial Army.

The Japanese artillery received an order to bomb the Chinese troops on the Western Front.

However, they objected because the Chinese army was too scattered.

The artillery shells of the imperial army, which had been painstakingly transported from the rear, could not be wasted, so the troops of the Western Front were required to attack as much as possible and adopt the tactics of interspersing and encircling and dividing the Chinese army.

After the encirclement, and then bombarded with heavy artillery, it was quite complete.

When the news reached Tachibana Osa, he ordered to suspend the shelling, the artillery was doing the right thing, and now it was necessary to move on the Western Front to form an obvious situation.

"Order the troops of the Western Front to intensify their offensive! Don't worry about enemy reinforcements and ambushes. ”

On the Western Front, Yang Chaoran's guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army had three infantry battalions, the Yucun battalion, the Xiangu Town battalion, and the Beicang Town battalion.

Fathers and sons go into battle, brothers in battle, unite with each other, and have strong combat effectiveness.

Of course, the troops formed by this kind of blood relationship were not exactly the Eighth Route Army, but were only formed by Yang Chaoran's inspiration and forced by the enemy's threat to slaughter the village.

They had brand-new weapons and ammunition in their hands, and they were shocked by Yang Chaoran's shrewdness and extraordinary results, so they were loyal.

Whatever Yang Chaoran says, everyone will do.

Three infantry battalions, dispersed, slowly attacked the Japanese.

No matter how many people were killed or wounded, no matter how ferocious the enemy was, he could not retreat.

While shooting, they built fortifications, dug a large number of trenches and individual pits, and prepared for big battles and evil battles.

On the Western Front, after half an hour, the Japanese finally tried to figure out the situation.

The Chinese army had only three infantry battalions and no other reinforcements.

The Japanese immediately sent out squadrons of cavalry, passed from the flank, appeared to the west of the Chinese troops, and blocked their retreat.

The cavalry squadron leader waved his saber and scattered the troops into three cavalry squads: "Look, we have won the victory, and when the ammunition of the Chinese army is exhausted, our army will take an offensive operation and surround the enemy, at that time, our cavalry can intercept all the enemies and hack them to death without leaving any behind!" Hahaha. ”

The cavalry dismounted and opened fire on the Chinese troops with rifles, harassing the rear.

All the Japanese cavalry left their horses and became infantry.

The firepower of pikes, machine guns, sabers, grenadiers, cavalry was also quite powerful.

The cavalry sent a message to Tachibana Daisa: "We have occupied the rear of the enemy in accordance with the order of the wing commander, guaranteed to cut off all the enemy's retreats, and moreover, it has been confirmed that the enemy has only three infantry battalions. ”

The leader of the spy team, a dozen male and female spies, including female spy Kurizon Yunko, rode to the front line, and they were responsible for telecommunication and direct contact with Tachibana Daisa.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, at present, the enemy's offensive posture is not obvious, very negative, very cautious, however, the enemy's defensive line will make you lenient, and our army is indeed not suitable for artillery bombardment."

The infantry brigade on the left flank of the Japanese army divided its troops to deal with the Chinese army, and also sent some men to make a detour to the flank and back to the rear of the Chinese army, so as to firmly encircle the Chinese army.

In the half-hour tentative battle, the Japanese right flank infantry brigade was more cautious, but more than 400 remnants of the Sakurai brigade sent reinforcements, and from the northwest, surrounded the flank of the Chinese army, where fortifications were built, especially a large number of individual pits and trenches were dug to stabilize the position.

"Where is the commander of the Zhina people, the person like the night owl, Yang Chaoran? Why did he command so indiscriminately? Now the strategic situation, they have already lost! What the hell was he thinking? "Tachibana Osato is worried about his opponent.

All the Japanese officers on the front line also began to be optimistic.

The artillery unit, further observing and surveillance, waited for the arrival of the fighters, and then burst into artillery fire, covering the main force of the field troops of the Chinese army.

The Japanese also mobilized more than a dozen truckloads of artillery shells, including poison gas bombs and yellow phosphorus bombs, from the rear.
