The distance of more than 30 kilometers, in the midst of such a rapid march, passed quickly, and when it arrived at the place of about 5 kilometers in Wuzhuang, it was exactly noon, and the sun in winter was not particularly scorching, but it was the best time for visibility, which was not suitable for attacking.

In the era of thermal weapons, the number between the two sides, at some point, is no longer particularly important, in special places, two machine guns and enough ammunition are enough to withstand an infantry regiment, Liu Ye is carrying artillery at this time, but if there is a machine gun position, the losses at that time will be very large.

The reconnaissance team has been put in place one by one, and in the plan, it is divided into a fan-shaped area, like 12 arrows pointing directly to the area of more than 40 square kilometers controlled by the Okada brigade, because it is a search, so the distribution of these Japanese soldiers is not concentrated, according to the previous position, plus a certain amount of search and speculation, find out the location of each Japanese team, and confirm whether the other party's establishment is complete.

Radio, that is, can talk at any time, Okada's brigade of about 1,100 people, divided into a brigade headquarters, 3 squadrons, a machine gun squadron of more than 170 people and an artillery squadron of more than 50 people, but because it is a mountain operation, the machine gun squadron and the artillery squadron are mixed into an infantry squadron, counted, it is four squadrons and a brigade headquarters.

Confident, so to be able to calm down, in the silent mountains and forests, except for the cries of birds and beasts, there is nothing else, soon, the radio sound, breaking the silence of this piece, from the first sound, began to continue, soon, 12 messages have arrived.

12 groups of scouts on duty. In addition to monitoring the status and location of the other party now. In addition to the troop situation, the most critical. It is to monitor whether the opponent's forces are complete, and when the Sakamoto Brigade was annihilated in Nantou County, a directory was obtained in the Military Command Department, which happened to be the directory of the entire Inoue Wing, which recorded in detail all the personnel of the Inoue Wing, a total of 3875 people, of which the number of the Okada Brigade was 1089 people, and there was even the following detailed configuration and composition structure.

In this battle, the staff officers studied it many times. Integrity is the most critical, and it is necessary to ensure that all the people of the Okada Brigade are here before they can launch an attack, otherwise, a squad of more than 50 people may be able to solve the problem.

According to the news sent by the scouts from 12 directions, a brigade of the opposing side was divided into 5 parts, the brigade headquarters. Including the personnel of the brigade headquarters itself, 110 people from the horse squadron, and 55 people belonging to the artillery team, a total of about 200 people. They sat in the center, here in Wuzhuang, and did not move. And the remaining four squadrons, completely divided. Walk around but many square kilometers of mountains, the farthest with the nearest time. There is a minimum distance of about 20 kilometers.

The scattered teams, the army that can't make a fist, and the distance between each other, this gives them a big chance.

Liu Ye opened the map, according to the introduction of the scouts, on the map, marked the location of the Japanese army, and then conducted a series of studies with the staff officers, first of all, he removed the farthest squadron, that squadron was very small, it was an infantry squadron formed on the basis of the machine gun squadron, they had climbed a mountain peak more than 800 meters above sea level, where the terrain was rugged, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, and in some cases, it was not suitable for combat.

There is no way to do this, you can only adapt to the situation, and according to the mountain road, even if the battle starts here, if the other party wants to come down, it will take at least one day, or even more time, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, especially in the middle of the mountain range with high mountains and dense forests, even the scouts did not go deep, staring at them from afar.

In addition to this farthest squadron, there are two squadrons that have been dispersed, and these two squadrons are one east and one west, not far apart, but they are easy to deal with, as long as they detour from the middle, each of them can be successfully defeated, as for the last squadron, I don't know how, has crossed the Turbid Water Creek, the amount of water in the Turbid Water Creek in winter is not small, but their location, not far from Wuzhuang, is the deepest part of the Turbid Water Creek, unless it is specially practiced swimming, it is not easy to come over.

Using this radio, he quickly got all the information of the Okada brigade, and everything around him has formed a simple map, Liu Ye is drawing on it to appear in the scout to obtain information, the more he adds, the more excited his heart is, divided into 5 parts of the brigade, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to saying that the strength is reduced by at least 2 points, plus they don't know about the sneak attack, as long as they can knock out the opponent's brigade headquarters as soon as possible, they lose their centralized command and morale, and the next victory is not small.

Time is running out, this is the best opportunity, they must grasp it, a brigade headquarters has very few personnel, a total of only about 200 people, including a 110-man horse squadron and a 55-man artillery squadron that are not strong in combat effectiveness, they are not good at infantry.

It's just a brigade headquarters, and it is impossible to use too much here, only one platoon, almost more than 60 people, plus a small part of the Wufeng Army, a total of about 150 people, which is equivalent to a quarter of the entire expedition team. The rest of the personnel were divided into two directions and pounced on the two scattered squadrons, as long as the brigade headquarters and the two scattered squadrons were all resolved, everything would be settled.

Solve the soldiers of the brigade headquarters, and work with those recruits to resist the counterattack of the last squadron, as long as you hold on for 2 hours, the strength of the other squadrons will be counter-encircled, and everything will be settled

The plan is perfect, but it depends on the execution, so in order to avoid problems as much as possible, Liu Ye sent soldiers from the Northwest Army in many key links, and then, he personally led the main army of 150 people to Wuzhuang, and the rest, under the leadership of Lin Long and Wei Ming, pounced on the two scattered squadrons.

Battles are always full of all kinds of unknowns, even if they have a complete plan, it is the same, where they are, the closest to Wuzhuang, but before they can reach Wuzhuang, gunshots suddenly rang out several miles away.

Liu Ye sighed and ordered his subordinates to stop temporarily, this was already the closest forest to Wuzhuang. It was under the cover of the trees that they were able to sneak in quickly. It is only more than 300 meters away from Wuzhuang, which is planned. He will forcibly break through more than 300 meters, 150 young men, if he runs with all his strength, it may only take a few tens of seconds to cross this area, but the sudden gunfire completely eliminates this possibility, in the open area of 300 meters, if you advance towards the opponent's village, you will inevitably suffer from the opponent's firepower. In this case, it is no less than suicide.

Liu Ye was very depressed, and what he wanted to know more was who it was and why he suddenly shot him.

The gunfire was very abrupt, and the reason was very simple, a small group of 5 Japanese soldiers seemed to suddenly emerge from the dense forest upstream of the Muddy Water Creek, and just happened to collide with Wei Ming's troops who were on a mission. In the sudden encounter, Wei Ming's scouts immediately attacked and solved them with rifles, but the whole plan was exposed.

12 groups of scouts. Carefully observed every part, but Wu Zhuang was an exception, after all. This is a fixed Zhuangzi, not scattered around the periphery of stragglers. A lot of numbers can only be estimated, plus almost an hour. I didn't see back and forth, it was time for lunch, and who would have thought that five Japanese soldiers would crash in like this.

They belong to the squadron of the brigade headquarters, and the 5 people are not the masters of the division, so they ran out at noon and went down to the river to fish and grill fish, because the place chosen is more secretive, after all, they have to avoid the brigade headquarters, so the scouts are in a hurry, and they are not as good as them, so they become the change of all variables.

The sound of gunfire around the calm village, very eye-catching, around, two scattered squadrons, located in Wuzhuang's brigade headquarters, are like calm water on the surface, put a boulder, the first to move is Wuzhuang, a team of almost 70 people, quickly set off from Wuzhuang, according to the previous reconnaissance, this should be the brigade directly under the personnel and 55 artillery team members, they quickly went in the direction of the gunshots, and in the constantly sounding radio, the scout also said the movement of other places.

Liu Ye's face was cloudy, and the telescope cautiously observed everything in Wuzhuang, the location of the brigade headquarters of the Okada brigade, he knew better, it was in the mansion of a landlord's family in the east of the village, but how many automatic firearms did the other party have, according to the results of the current investigation, it may be 0-5, whether it is one or not, or 5, will these be arranged in the brigade headquarters.

"Company commander, we can't wait any longer!" The platoon commander said with some worry, the current situation, everyone knows that Wei Ming's department, which has been exposed, should be able to deal with these 70 soldiers, but it will be a little difficult to deal with the original target squadron.

Liu Ye knew very well that after a little muttering, he immediately ordered an attack, with the Northwest Army as the lead, with the skirmish line, bypassing the front of Wuzhuang, and directly attacking the Okada brigade headquarters, the skirmisher line, when facing not too many automatic firearms, the power of automatic firearms can be reduced to the minimum, so as to avoid casualties as much as possible.

However, it seems to be very lucky, there was no reaction from Wuzhuang's side, it seemed that everyone's eyes were attracted by the gunshots, and it was no wonder that this area was the core area of the Okada brigade, they had been here for more than half a month, and they had spent half a month searching, and there was not even hair around, they had spent a long time in the world, and they didn't want to stay in such a poor country and a place where there was nothing for a long time. Even if it was the gunshot just now, they intuitively thought that it was the gunfire of a few young boys who were hunting nearby, and so many people were sent out, it was just the whim of the staff officer in charge of guarding, and it was not that they found the traces of the Wufeng Army, and the rest, hiding in the team headquarters, what should they do, what else should they do.

Inexplicably had an advantage, which made the next battle go very smoothly, the battle of the brigade headquarters finally started successfully, only 110 ordinary horse squadrons remained, they couldn't stop the wolf-like Wufeng Army, and even by the way, the more than 70 living forces that were ushered in by the gunfire were killed, and the whole battle ended in less than 10 minutes, Liu Ye's department successfully occupied Wuzhuang, made a good start to the attack on the Okada brigade, captured the captain Okada Murafu, and even the brigade flag was captured.
