However, for them, the biggest difficulty is not here.

Ironclad car!

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, after all, the seventh column has no experience in fighting with devil ironclad cars.

And the best way to deal with ironclad vehicles is to use cannons, but at this time, their cannon shells are not much because they did not count the consumption of losses during the previous siege, and how to engage the Japanese army after solving it is a big problem.

However, with Captain Liu's plan, I think it should be possible to make up for it.

Thinking of this, the seventh column immediately set off.

Although there are still some problems in the face of the Japanese army's field brigade, but at this time I can't take care of these, besides, how can there be a comprehensive war, many times the problems encountered are sudden, and when it really comes to that point, there is no time for you to think about it.

So at the moment, we can only take one step at a time.

The Seventh Column was extremely fast and very secretive.

After all, the Ikeda Brigade is stationed in place, which is a clear goal, and there is no problem at all in achieving the encirclement!

It's not that Ikeda is not vigilant, in fact, it's because Ikeda has enough confidence!

Relying on ironclad vehicles, it may seem impossible to attack Wuhan, but if it is a field duel, Ikeda's brigade does not take Wuhan's army into account!

What's more, they are a field infantry brigade, and with the cooperation of this ironclad vehicle, even if they can't beat the other party, he is confident that there is no problem in retreating!

Besides, at this time they could only be stationed here, and Commander Okamura Ninji vomited blood and fell into a coma, and did not give him new orders, he did not know what to do, so he could only be stationed in place.

Otherwise, according to Ikeda's thoughts, he would rather retreat.

If it weren't for necessity, he really didn't want to fight each other!

After all, a firefight means damage!

At present, the life and death of the Central China Front Army is unknown, and in such a situation, it is very dangerous!

As an officer, if you want to survive in such chaos, you need to have soldiers in your hands!

Only when there are soldiers can you have confidence!

Even if Central China is really defeated in the end, he can break through the encirclement of Central China and withdraw to North China with his troops.

Ikeda's thoughts were not scrupulous, and after making a decision, Liu Zhiyu asked the political commissar to stay at the city gate to maintain law and order, and then rushed out of the city with Luo Cheng and his troops.

They move fast!

Because this time their goal is extremely clear, and after eating this lone army, then the surroundings of Wuhan can be regarded as real safety!

Although the Ikeda Brigade was guarded by the three regiments they had sent out, they still had to buy time to complete the siege as soon as possible, so as not to have too many nights.

After all, under the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?

With such a big danger around him, no one can sleep well.

……

The location where the Ikeda brigade chose to camp was a small village called Niujia Village, which originally had a population of several hundred people, but after the arrival of the Ikeda brigade, they killed almost all the people who remained.

By this time, Ikeda's brigade had already built improvised fortifications, and all the ironclad vehicles were arranged everywhere!

Niujia Village is a village halfway up the mountain, with a good view, although this hill is not too much, but after all, it also belongs to a commanding height, at this time, among the two lines of defense composed of two trenches, the devil soldiers of the Ikeda Brigade are still waiting for new orders to arrive!

On the opposite side of them, about half a mile away, an enemy force was stationed, blocking their path.

There were many people on the other side, and Ikeda did not dare to move or retreat.

For the time being, we can only confront each other like this.

However, when Ikeda did not expect it, it was at this time that a new situation occurred.

"Report, Your Excellency Nakasa, the soldiers we are sweeping outside report that a large number of Shina people are marching towards us!"

When Ikeda's brigade came, they didn't bring too many supplies, so naturally, they could only collect supplies on the spot, and what else could this means of collection be other than sweeping?

Ikeda, who was also in the temporary station, was waiting for the small unit to return, but when he heard this, he was shocked.

"Nani? The people of China are coming? They are so bold, hmph, these people are simply looking for death! ”

"That's right, the pigs are really stupid, if they stick to the city, we can't help them, since they dare to come out, this is a good time for us to establish meritorious deeds!" The officer next to him suddenly said in a deep voice.

Ikeda, however, did not look very good.

At present, there are already three or four thousand people opposite them, and now there is an unknown number of enemies, how can they fight?

Don't look at the officers under him, he doesn't take the other party seriously at all, but in fact, in Ikeda's heart, he is very jealous.

The other party was able to take Wuhan so quickly, although only the garrison brigade was stationed in the city, but the combat effectiveness was definitely good.

Not to be underestimated!

Just as Ikeda was thinking like this, the officer next to him hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Nakasa, please give an order, and the officer is willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Hearing this, Ikeda frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Don't be busy, let's see the reality of the other party first!" ”

"Your Excellency......, Captain," the officer next to him was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ikeda's gaze.

They were puzzled.

In their eyes, with the support of chariots, they have no possibility of defeat at all, and if the seventh column dares to take the initiative, it is looking for death!

However, His Excellency the Captain did not give the order to prepare for an attack, but only ordered a defense, which made many devils puzzled!

Of course, they can only obey.

In fact, Ikeda also had a hard time, because His Excellency the Commander did not give the order, and he did not know what to do next.

If you attack rashly, once you lose a lot, even if you want to retreat in the future, I am afraid you will not be able to retreat!

Therefore, for the sake of the future and for the sake of his life, he can only be cautious and cautious!

At this time, Liu Zhiyu, Regiment Commander Liu and others didn't know that they had actually been discovered by a few sweeping devil soldiers.

Of course, even if you know, this battle will continue to be fought, after all, the strength of the seventh column has an absolute advantage.

Besides, the current Seventh Column has obtained a lot of good things from Chen Qingzhi's independent regiment, and it is not as helpless as before to deal with the devil's ironclad car.

"Lao Chen, are the things you prepared ready?"

"I'm ready, I'll keep enough for the devil to drink a pot!"

Lao Chen is a veteran who has been with Liu Zhiyu for two years, and now he is a company commander.

Don't look at everyone's contemptuous name, but in fact, the soldiers are still very afraid.

After all, that guy is invulnerable, and once he starts moving, he can simply sweep and run over.
