At dawn, the rain finally stopped.

Masao Koizumi, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, pushed open the window, and was greeted by the fresh air after the rain, a little sweet and a little fragrant, which reminded him of his hometown. Masao Koizumi's hometown is at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, and he vividly remembers that the air in his hometown smells like this.

Koizumi Masao's spirits were lifted, he turned around and picked up the sword, walked into the courtyard, and waved it.

When he was sweating slightly, Masao Koizumi stopped, and after a simple wash, he called his orderly, "Thank you for your hard work, please prepare breakfast for me!" ”

The orderlies took the order and left, and at this time, the wake-up horn of the Japanese army sounded.

Masao Koizumi slowly enjoyed breakfast, a habit he had developed in his early years as a student in Germany, and he could skip lunch or dinner, but it was not only a must, but it had to be hearty.

After breakfast and a change of uniform, the troops were already ready to go.

Masao Koizumi made a brief mobilization to his subordinates: "Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, less than seventy-five kilometers ahead of us is our destination-Jiajiawang. Jiajiawang is the fulcrum of the support of the Chinese troops, and if Jiajiawang is taken, the Chinese troops will fall into a state of panic, and our Imperial Japanese Army will be able to gain an overwhelming advantage on the Taierzhuang battlefield, Xuzhou will be just around the corner, and the strategic idea of connecting the north and south of the base camp will soon be realized. And all this will depend on our combat operations today. Warriors of the Empire, according to our top-secret intelligence, in this 75-kilometer assault route, the Chinese are not fully prepared to block the attack, and we will be overwhelmed until we complete the strategic goal of occupying Jiajiawang! Imperial warriors, His Majesty the Emperor is watching your actions, and now is the time for the Warriors to vote their loyalty to His Majesty! Let's go! ”

Amid a neat and loud shout of 'Long live the Emperor', Koizumi Masao's rapid assault force set out and began what they thought was a smooth sailing and unstoppable assault.

Three hours later, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Li Zhongyun saw the vanguard of Little Japan: a scout squad of five three-wheeled motorcycles.

In ambush warfare, attacking scouts is the most stupid decision, not only inefficient but also revealing the purpose of the ambush, which is a common sense of battle, even the newly established bandits know this. But Li Zhongyun just attacked the scouts.

Li Zhongyun's three-person sniper team, which was located in the direction of the Japanese scout squad at six o'clock, opened fire at the same time, and the two Japanese soldiers were killed with a single shot.

The quality of the Japanese soldiers was indeed very high, and no one panicked when they encountered a surprise attack, and the remaining 13 people quickly jumped out of the tricycle, formed a temporary combat position according to the terrain and motorcycles, and all the muzzles of their guns rushed in the direction of Li Zhongyun.

But it was all in vain!

Li Zhongyun and the others did not have a plan to shoot a second shot at all, but with the help of the cover of the reeds, they moved nearly a hundred meters to the side and rear.

Two minutes later, the Japanese scout team did not wait for the expected battle, and stood up stupidly, some went to take care of their comrades who had just been killed, and some went to start their motorcycles. At this moment, from the other direction, another gunshot rang out, and the scouts of Little Japan fell in response again.

The remaining eleven people lay down in a panic, this time losing their composure from the last time, they were unable to form an effective battle formation, and only stuck to the ground tightly to reduce the chance of being shot.

Five minutes later, Koizumi's large force arrived, and one of the leading tanks immediately launched a rescue operation against the scout team, two light machine guns firing at the same time, suppressing their imaginary enemy. In fact, this kind of fire suppression is also a deterrent, which means that if the enemy sniper dares to act, my machine gun will immediately beat you into a sieve.

Under the cover of machine guns, the lucky ones of the scout squad found an opportunity to evacuate the danger zone, and they reported to one of the leading officers of the large unit, after which the Japanese mortars and heavy machine guns appeared.

Of course, all this was ineffective for Li Zhongyun's sharpshooter team, because the combat group that fired the second shot also withdrew from its original combat position.

The Japanese tossed and turned, and then collected their troops and prepared to continue advancing, at this time, the remaining three combat groups of Li Zhongyun's sharpshooter team opened fire, and three shots rang out in a row, and the little Japanese lay down five more.

In ten minutes, nine soldiers were killed and wounded, and the enemy could not see even a shadow. This is no longer a trivial matter and must be escalated.

Soon, Masao Koizumi was reported.

It was a sudden event, and it was completely unexpected. Koizumi only panicked for a second before he calmed down, and he explained to himself that after all, the enemy's regular army on that side had fought a lot of battles, large and small, and it was normal to train a few excellent gunners.

But this explanation was then overturned by itself, if it was just a few gunmen, how could it be possible to transfer long distances in a short period of time?

After making several assumptions, Koizumi finally came to the correct judgment that the enemy should be a team of snipers, and they were divided into at least three sniper teams, each with at least two people.

"Order the Onitsuka squadron to sweep the reeds where the enemy is hiding, and the other combat units continue to advance!"

In the few minutes that Koizumi Masao was thinking and giving the order, Li Zhongyun's spear team had already withdrawn from the battlefield. When they were evacuating from the battlefield, Li Zhongyun and the others deliberately aggravated the trail, for fear that Little Japan would not find out and waste the hard work of Luo Zhonggang and them in the future.

After receiving the order from Masao Koizumi, Onizuka Loggi immediately led his troops into action. He took the squad as a unit, with a distance of three meters between individual soldiers, and launched a sweeping operation towards the reeds, and soon, he found Li Zhongyun's traces.

Onizuka Loggi, who was on fire, gave his squadron the order to outflank the pursuit.

Li Zhongyun withdrew from the reeds according to the route he had designed in advance, and quickly approached the small hill five miles away. Three minutes later, a squad of the Onitsuka squadron also rushed out of the reeds and quickly pursued along the route of Li Zhongyun's retreat.

As a result, he was beaten by Luo Zhonggang and his brothers.

On the edge of the reeds, on a piece of ground more than 20 meters long, Luo Zhonggang arranged nearly 50 homemade bombs.

The lethality of this kind of bomb/bomb is not great, but the power of fifty medium-powered bombs/bombs to detonate at the same time is very unusual. Such a good thing was spread out by the most active squad of the Onizuka squadron, and after the explosion, almost no one was able to stand up.

Looking at the bombed little Japan, Luo Zhonggang was extremely cool, waved his hand, hummed a small song, and led his brothers to evacuate in the direction of Gengji according to the route designated by Ye Tufei.

This explosion was adding fuel to the fire for Onizuka, who had already been carried away by his anger, forgetting that Koizumi had just ordered to sweep the reeds, and led the entire squadron to chase after Li Zhongyun.

Five miles of road, for people who are chasing life and death, it is a matter of ten minutes. Li Zhongyun and the others ran fast, and the Onitsuka squadron was not slow to chase. When Li Zhongyun and the others had just arrived at the small hill and were not ready for battle, the pursuers of the Onizuka squadron had already appeared at the foot of the mountain.

You can see me, I can see you.

Then you're welcome, let's fight!

It was small Japan that suffered in this battle.

Topographically speaking, Li Zhongyun's sharpshooter team is condescending and has an advantage. In terms of combat conditions, Li Zhongyun's sharp-gun team still has a bunker, although the bunker fortifications are just a showcase. The Onitsuka squadron, on the other hand, was in an open field under the hillside, bare and unsheltered. In terms of firepower, the Onitsuka squadron was in a hurry to chase and did not bring many heavy weapons, forming a situation of 38 big covers against Hanyang, and the two sides were half a catty.

In a shootout, Li Zhongyun's sharpshooter team suppressed the Onitsuka squadron so much that it couldn't raise its head.

As a last resort, Onizuka logs ordered the troops to retreat fifty meters, and then ordered the communications troops to contact Koizumi. After connecting to the line, Onizuka made a brief report to Koizumi.

Perhaps Onizuka was so angry that he lost his mind, and he made a low-level mistake when he reported the battle situation to Koizumi. This mistake is really not a big deal on the surface, but in fact, this mistake played a crucial role in the direction of the entire battle.

Onizuka's report to Koizumi is that he has encountered the main force of the Shina blocking force and needs urgent support.

After Onizuka sent a message asking for help, less than five minutes later, Koizumi's large army arrived.

This is not because Koizumi attaches great importance to Onizuka's request for help, but because the geographical location of this hill is precisely the only way for Koizumi to march into Jiajiawang.

It's just that the chariots and tanks of Koizumi's troops had to take the avenue, and Li Zhongyun's spear team led the Onizuka squadron to take the field path, so there was a shootout between the sharpshooter team and the Onizuka squadron first, and Koizumi's large army arrived later.

Although Koizumi did not believe that the Shina blocking force would use this dirt hill as the main position, he finally chose to be cautious when he looked at the seven or eight corpses of imperial warriors in the open field under the hillside, and saw the decent ring fortifications on the top of the hill. So, the artillery squadron began to prepare, and eight tanks also went into firing positions.

Three minutes later, all the artillery fire of Koizumi's troops opened fire at the same time, with only one target, the ring fortifications on the top of the hill. Watching the smoke of artillery fire quickly envelop the entire top of the hill, Koizumi's hideous face showed a hint of sneer, and he was sarcastically mocking the commander of the blocking force in China, yes, there is such a ring fortification, coupled with the gentle open land under the hillside, it can indeed make some resistance. But that commander of the branch was too ignorant, the combat power of the Imperial Japanese Army was by no means the combat ability of simple infantry, but also the artillery and armored fighting vehicles of the Empire!

After a full five minutes of artillery fire, Onizuka's infantry squadron charged. As expected, the Onizuka squadron did not encounter any resistance during the charge, and they successfully charged to the top of the mountain, sending a signal of victory to the large forces below.

But was this victory too easy?

As early as when Onizuka Logs had retreated his squadron back, Li Zhongyun and his sharpshooter team had calmly withdrawn from the other side of the hill. When Onitsuka Loggi sent a request for help to Masao Koizumi, Li Zhongyun and his brother were already on the way home.

In other words, Koizumi used almost all of his artillery fire, covering an empty hill with a ring of artillery fire for a full five minutes against a ring fortification that 'looked like something was going on', and then the Onizuka squadron launched a 'beautiful' charge against the smoke.

When the smoke cleared and Koizumi finally knew the truth, he moved his liver fire and gave Onizuka two slaps in the face.
