"Prepare for battle!"

Seeing that the army of little devils continued to move forward, Yang Yun, a new regiment, gave the order to prepare for battle without hesitation.

As the order was delivered, everyone was preoccupied at once, and many brothers even checked their weapons and equipment again to ensure that there would be no mistakes when they received the battle order.

On the side of the little devils.

When he learned that it was the order of His Excellency Ibanishi Kazuyoshi, the lieutenant, though he wanted to say something more, finally chose to keep his mouth shut, because questioning the commander's orders in the army was a very serious matter.

And with the order of Wing Commander Itanishi Kazura, even if something goes wrong, he will be fully responsible, and he himself will not have to bear a trace of responsibility.

At the same time, the adjutant didn't really think that there would be enemy troops here, and the reason why he came to reconnoiter was just to make sure that nothing went wrong.

"Forward!"

The army of little devils started again, because it was a rapid march, so it flew fast, and in less than five minutes, the vanguard had already appeared at the entrance of the canyon.

"Whew-"

All the officers and men of the new regiment subconsciously clenched the steel guns in their hands.

Is it finally here?

The corners of Yang Yun's mouth floated into a smile again, and at this time, he was not in a hurry.

The canyon is not long, but it is not too short, it looks like about three or four miles from beginning to end, three or four meters in the narrow place, and ten meters in the wide place; In the middle is a winding rough dirt road flanked by undulating hills.

And the brothers of the new regiment are all hiding on this undulating mountain, with the help of the terrain, as well as the trees and weeds on the mountain as a cover, unless they want to expose their target, otherwise the little devil will not be able to find them at all.

"Speed up!"

Entering the canyon, Itanishi Kazura also noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the situation, and after frowning slightly, he immediately gave the order to speed up the march.

If you have already entered the canyon, you will only accelerate your own demise if you speed up your march!

Seeing that the little devil accelerated his march after entering the canyon, Yang Yun's eyes couldn't help but flash a sneer.

He carefully moved backwards to make sure that he would not be spotted by the little devils, and then stood up directly from the ground and quickly ran towards the artillery company's position.

"Tuanza!"

"Hmm!"

Yang Yun nodded, and then asked, "Did you see the two heavy mountain cannons of the little devil?" ”

"See!"

Sun Li, the commander of the artillery company, nodded resolutely with his eyes. "Don't worry, as long as you give an order, our artillery company can destroy it at any time."

"Now it's time to change the battle plan!"

"Change the battle plan?"

Sun Li looked surprised.

"Not bad! I need your artillery company to cooperate with the officers and men of the company, so that these two heavy field mountain guns can neither destroy nor give them a chance to open fire! ”

"What do you mean...... Are we going to capture these two field mountain guns? ”

"Not bad! Not only these two heavy field mountain guns, but also the thirty or so military vehicles of the little devils have been captured, is there a problem? ”

"No problem!"

Sun Li nodded heavily, and his face also showed greed, you must know that since the evacuation from Linhuai Pass, although there are still some infantry guns and mortars in their artillery company, there is no heavy artillery.

At this moment, seeing two heavy field mountain guns appear in front of him like this, he was already deliberately suppressing it without gold stars and drooling.

"I don't ask you to keep all the military vehicles, you can leave half of them."

"Yes!"

Sun Li's expression perked up, and he shouted his order.

If the task given to him by Yang Yun was to leave all the military cars of the little devil, then he really didn't have this certainty; But it's only half of it, and it's easy, especially with a company of help.

Although the first company is only a company, its combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the rest of the companies.

After the reintegration of Wufengzhai, Yang Yun almost turned the first company into a machine gun company.

The company had a maximum of 150 civilian officers and men in nine companies, as well as ten Type 92 heavy machine guns captured from the little devils, as well as five Maxim heavy machine guns and 20 Czech or crooked light machine guns, and ten Type 97 90-mm light mortars.

Such combat effectiveness is almost comparable to that of a Japanese machine-gun brigade.

"Fire!"

When the little devil completely entered the canyon, Yang Yun gave the order to fire without hesitation.

It was the artillery that took the lead in firing, and when they received the order from Yang Yun, the officers and men of the artillery company, who were ready to go, divided their labor and cooperated, opening the chambers of the guns and carrying the shells.

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom—"

In a short time, orange-yellow cannonballs of different specifications carried angry tail flames, cut a graceful arc in mid-air, and flew accurately towards the army of little devils in the canyon below the mountain.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da-"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound of the cannons was also the sound of the horn of the attack, and when these shells fell with a bang and exploded in the pile of little devils, countless gunshots rang out on the slopes on both sides of the canyon.

Countless bullets poured like a torrential rain, densely shooting towards the pile of little devils.

"Hidden!"

"Fight back!"

The 59th Wing of the Japanese Army suffered hundreds of casualties in just the first round of attacks, but they did not show panic after a long time on the battlefield, but quickly crouched on both sides of the road under the command of some officers and launched a rhythmic counterattack.

The cavalry dismounted one after another, and the little devils sitting in the cart also scurried out of the cart.

"Yaga!"

A cannonball landed next to the three-wheeled motorcycle that Ichiyoshi was riding, but fortunately he reacted in time, and as soon as the battle began, he turned over and jumped off the three-wheeled motorcycle, and under the cover of several little devil officers and soldiers, he lay down on the edge of the road.

Looking at the military tricycle that was swept into the air by the air waves, and then fell heavily and fell into a pile of broken copper and iron, Banxi Yi's conscience was afraid for a while.

If it weren't for his timely response, I am afraid that this three-wheeled motorcycle would have been scrapped along with it at this moment.

"Shoji Nojiri!"

"Hay!"

Hearing the call of Wing Captain Itanishi Kazura, Nojiri Shoji, who was lying not far away, hurriedly raised his head and replied loudly, with a hint of panic and uneasiness on his dirt-stained embarrassed cheeks.

"Didn't you say that you have already reconnoitred the situation here, there are no enemy troops in this vicinity, and there are only hundreds of mountain bandits on Wufeng Mountain, and they have stayed on the mountain and have not descended the mountain?

Now how do you explain it to me? Is this called the absence of enemy troops? How could a mere mountain bandit have such a powerful firepower? ”

"Report ...... Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, that the Underlord had indeed carefully reconnoitred the situation on this side yesterday, and was convinced that there were no signs of enemy forces in the vicinity, or of an ambush circle, and that ...... And I've got five of the most elite Imperial Scouts here, and if there's a situation, they'll be sure to let us know as soon as possible!" ”

Nojiri explained vigorously.
