Zhangshan position.

The reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters led by Cao Xingyang had already fought face-to-face with the Japanese army, and after the battle, it was discovered that this Japanese army not only had infantry, but also cavalry and a tank squadron.

It is a tactical unit composed of a mixture of infantry, artillery, cavalry, and tanks.

A tactical unit of the Japanese army is usually an infantry brigade, and under normal circumstances, such a tactical brigade can be equal to an elite integrated division of the GJ.

How many elite renovators are in GJ? About 12,000 people.

According to this calculation, the mixed detachment sent by the Seya detachment was almost equivalent to a tactical unit of the Japanese army, but its firepower far exceeded the establishment of one of their tactical units.

With such a strong firepower and combat effectiveness, it is not a piece of cake to capture a small city the size of a projectile, and then the so-called elite GJ of a brigade is garrisoned.

At least, the wing captain of the 10th Wing, Furong Zhenping, thinks so, Taierzhuang can go down in one fell swoop, and he may already be able to receive good news from his subordinates early tomorrow morning!

Therefore, even after receiving the report of his subordinates' "operation exposed", he still didn't care, and ordered the troops to continue to advance, even if they attacked strongly, they could successfully take Taierzhuang, and it only took more time.

"Lao Cao, the little devil also has cavalry, at least one squadron in number, and tanks, and there are more people than us, how can we fight?" Ma Hongyang, with two guards, bent down and touched Cao Xingyang's temporary command post in Zhangshan.

"Old horse, well, the enemy is definitely not good, the terrain of Zhangshan is not high, and you see that the slope is very small, the little devil's tank can rush up directly, which is very unfavorable for us, but we can at least block the Japanese army for a while, and give the brigade commander some time to make arrangements." Cao Xingyang said.

"Well, listen to you, how you say to fight, I'll fight?"

"Old horse, the tactics of the Japanese army are the three axes, especially under the black light, they are not familiar with the environment, they must be quite cautious, so I arranged it like this......"

"Camp seat, brigade seat emergency electricity!"

“……”

"Call back, just say I know, promise to complete the task."

"Yes!"

"Lao Cao, what do you say?"

"The brigade wants to eat this Japanese army, and orders us to block and lure the Japanese army into the preset position, and fight him a beautiful annihilation battle!" Cao Xingyang's eyes were shining, if he was beaten passively, it was really not what he wanted.

"Great, what about our cavalry company?"

"Continue to investigate, the brigade commander orders your cavalry company to continue to expand reconnaissance in the direction of Yicheng, and report immediately if you find the movement of the Japanese army!" Cao Xingyang said.

"Co-author, this battle has nothing to do with me?"

"Lao Ma, you are the first person in our brigade to open meat, I am afraid that there will be no devils for you to fight in the future, your task is also very important, we must eat this Japanese army before the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army, so, your intelligence reconnaissance is very important, understand?"

"Understood, my old horse knows the severity!" Ma Hongyang nodded, and led the team to make a detour to the east of Zhangshan Mountain.

The Japanese army re-selected the search team, and this time it was not as listless as it was just now, and they were very energetic and cautiously pushed forward along the road.

It was not the first time that Cao Xingyang had faced the Japanese army, although he brought out two companies of the reconnaissance battalion today, but these were all first-class good soldiers, and they were still veterans.

Experienced in combat, without a single stage fright.

"Camp, do you want to fight?"

"Let the devil's soldiers go over first, and we will fight the brigade behind, remember, we will only fight for thirty minutes, and retreat after thirty minutes, understand!" Cao Xingyang ordered.

"Withdraw?"

"Less nonsense, this is the order of the brigade seat." Cao Xingyang didn't bother to explain, anyway, these veteran soldiers also knew the rules and would not disobey orders.

The Japanese soldiers did not find the reconnaissance battalion lying in ambush on the hillside on either side, and after passing cautiously, they signaled safety to the rear brigade.

The Japanese brigade slowly pressed along the road towards Zhangshan.

"Shoot me within a hundred and fifty meters!" Cao Xingyang opened the safety of the pistol and ordered left and right.

"Camp, do you want to lure the enemy?"

"As far as you're smart, don't be too accurate later, and scare the little devil back." Cao Xingyang smiled, these guys have already played smart in the war.

When the reconnaissance battalion fights with the little devils, they always put the devils within 50 meters before shooting, and 150 meters, that is obviously to lure the enemy, not to expose their own strength, so that the Japanese army misjudges their own combat effectiveness.

The moon was bright and the stars were thin, and as the clouds thickened, the night became even hazy, but the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion had long been accustomed to fighting in the dark, and this was not the first time.

"Prepare for battle!"

In addition to the tanks, the Japanese army had nearly twenty trucks following behind, and the sound of the engines could be heard for miles.

Three sidecar motorcycles opened the way, and the road in front of the light was more than ten meters away, which was not fast, but it was faster than walking.

"The little devil is really arrogant, more arrogant than us, so many cars, and dragging cannons......"

"Sooner or later, these will have to be ours!"

"Clerk!"

"Yes!"

"Record the observations, how many tanks, how many cars, how many cannons, the number of light and heavy machine guns, the distribution of troops, etc., and send them to the brigade headquarters immediately when you turn around!"

"Yes!"

"Hit!"

As Cao Xingyang pulled the trigger, the peripheral battle of Taierzhuang began.

Da Da ......

On the hill, several tongues of fire suddenly erupted, and several unsuspecting Japanese soldiers were killed by screams at once.

Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ……

The Japanese reacted quickly, they jumped out of their cars one after another, and under the command of their respective officers, launched a counterattack and charge against the Zhangshan position.

At the same time, their tanks also turned their guns and shelled the positions of the reconnaissance battalion.

The infantry began to charge in an orderly manner, and the organization and coordination were very close, and Cao Xingyang knew at a glance that the quality of this group of Japanese troops was definitely very high, even better than the Japanese troops of the Sixth Division he had encountered before.

It is worthy of being one of the permanent field divisions of the Japanese army!

Its arrogance and arrogance are not without capital.

"Grenades, grenades!"

Dozens of grenades were thrown from a high place into the straggler formation of the Japanese charge, and they exploded one after another, causing the attack formation of the Japanese charge to be instantly frustrated.

Because the Japanese did not use the tactics of intensive charge, the first wave of grenade attacks did not achieve the expected effect, and the Japanese casualties were not very large.

"Camp, the devil's tank is up!"

As soon as Cao Xingyang looked up, he saw two Type 92 light tanks detouring to both sides of the position, rushing up along a winding "S" line, with a fierce momentum.

This is also a place close to the highway where the slope is relatively flat, otherwise these two Japanese Type 92 tanks would have been lying in the nest a long time ago, and the Type 92 bean tank, the lightest and thinnest tank in the world, and the worst performing tank, is not one of them.

It's just that compared to China, which can't even build tanks, this weapon is already very advanced.

"Wang Shun!"

"Yes!"

"Take two people to kill the bean bag on the left for Lao Tzu!" Cao Xingyang roared angrily.

"Yes!" Squad leader Wang Shun put his rifle behind his back, beckoned two of his subordinates, grabbed two bundles of grenades and rushed over, to deal with the Japanese tank, in the absence of anti-tank weapons, the best way is to approach it and blow up its tracks with cluster ZD.

There is also the use of RSP, but this thing is more dangerous, it is not convenient to carry and store, it is all made and used, so they did not carry it.

"Kiko, you take someone to blow up the one on the right!"

"Yes!"

Cao Xingyang met his opponent, but he didn't feel scared, but had a sense of excitement when he was strong, this was not only a resistance battle, but also a mutual test to find out the hole cards of his opponent's strength.

Each unit has a different fighting style, and only by knowing their opponent can they defeat their opponents, whether it is their commanders, tactics, or the quality of their soldiers.

This is what a commander must do, and in the future battles, it is necessary to form an instinct.

"In the camp, there are Japanese cavalry detouring to our flank, about forty or fifty people." The scout suddenly ran over in a sweat and prayed.

"The little devil is really cunning and cunning, and he ordered a company commander to take three platoons to the flank to block the attack, and the little devil's cavalry must not be allowed to rush up!"

"Understood!"

Ten minutes have passed, not a single small hillside has been captured, Shimayama Shaozo's face is very ugly, if the troops are blocked here, how can he complete the task assigned to him by the wing commander?

"Daoshan-kun, it seems that the combat effectiveness of this branch is not weak, and the cooperation with each other is also very orderly, I really want to be the branch army we met in Yi County?" A Japanese second lieutenant, who was the artillery captain of this mixed detachment, came over.

"It should be, it seems that they should go back to defend Taierzhuang!"

"The importance of Taierzhuang is self-evident, communications officer!"

"Hay!"

"Send a telegram to Furong Dazuo, saying that we encountered the army in Yicheng yesterday, and it is very likely that they have moved to Taierzhuang." Shimayama Shaosa ordered.

As soon as Furong Zhenping received this telegram, he became even more excited, and he fought with this "Chinese" unit for several hours in Yixian County, and this unit made a very deep impression on him, and when he retreated, he did not drag his feet.

This must be the commander of the division who personally explained it, and he must find the elite of the Central Army of the Zhina Army, the Tang Army!

Defeating the elite of the Shina Army, as an officer with such a self-motivated desire to expand the territory of the Japanese Empire, Fukuei Shinpei seems to see the scene of his promotion to major general.

How could that not excite him?

Originally, he planned to stay in Yixian for a day, and then lead the troops south to Taierzhuang, but now he can't wait to go south, defeat the "Tang" army, occupy Taierzhuang, and the immortal merit is just around the corner.

Fukuei Zhenpei was clever this time, but he pushed the Seya detachment to the road of death.
