When Fujita Kenjiro heard this, he was puzzled: "Captain, there are ambush soldiers?" ”。

"I don't know, but Liujia Town is less than three kilometers away from Ping'an County."

Ito Taro shook his head and said: "What's more, although Liujia Town is a big town, Liujia Town is formed along both sides of the Liujia River, if there is an ambush, it will definitely make us fall into death." ”。

"Execute the order, artillery reconnaissance, and make sure that there are no ambushes in Liujiazhen."

Seeing this, although I felt that Taro Ito was a little too cautious, after all, he had already obtained two fighters to return to the reconnaissance and flew over Liujiazhen to conduct an aerial reconnaissance of Liujiazhen by the way, and there was nothing unusual here, but the artillery reconnaissance did not waste much time.

So, Kenjiro Fujita paused: "Yes, Captain." ”。

"Hurry up, the mortar comes forward, and targets the mountains on both sides of Liujia Town and its residential buildings in Liujia Town, and carries out artillery bombardment, hurry up!!"

The devil artillery who received the order immediately directly transferred six 82 mm mortars and immediately lined up to aim at the mountains on both sides of Liujia Town and the residential buildings in Liujia Town.

"Report to the Wing Commander, Chief of Staff, artillery is ready!!"

After the commander of the artillery squadron of the Ito Wing commanded the devil soldiers under his command to adjust the shelling parameters, he immediately trotted in front of Taro Ito and Kenjiro Fujita, and saluted.

"Yo Xi !!"

Taro Ito said a word, then drew his katana, slashed down at Liu Jiazhen, and shouted, "Fire!! ”。

"Hai !!"

The leader of the devil's artillery squadron immediately trotted back, and immediately took the small pennant and raised it fiercely, ordering: "Target Liujiazhen, open fire!! ”。

"Tom !!"

With the sound of the mortar shells being fired, mortar shells whistled out of the chambers.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Immediately, in an instant, mortar shells fell heavily on the residential buildings in Liujia Town, blowing up clouds of smoke and sparks.

The mountains on both sides of Liujia Town were also bombarded by the six mortars of the devils, and the trees on the mountains and the overturned mountain soil were visible to the naked eye.

"Phew, damn it, the little devil actually fired a reconnaissance, let the brothers stabilize me, no order, no shooting."

Li Yunlong said to Wei Dayong, the guard next to him.

"Yes, Captain."

Wei Dayong looked stupid, but he was flexible, and he quickly conveyed the order quickly.

What's more, there is no need for Li Yunlong's special instructions, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who have fought many battles with the little devils know it.

The little devil looked like he noticed that their actions of carrying out artillery strikes were actually just artillery reconnaissance actions.

Otherwise, the devil would have sent infantry to carefully explore the mountains on both sides of Liujia Town.

"Boom, boom!!"

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment endured the bombardment of artillery fire and remained motionless.

Taro Ito held up the binoculars and looked at the sea of fire in Liujiazhen that had been bombed by six mortars, and couldn't help but nod.

"Yo Xi, continue the shelling for another minute, I want to see if there are any ambushes!!"

In order to ensure safety, Taro Ito is not in a hurry now.

Although the fighter planes have already carried out two flights to reconnoiter Liujiazhen, artillery reconnaissance is still very necessary.

"Yes, Wing Commander."

Kenjiro Fujita, chief of staff of the wing, nodded, and then waved his hand to the leader of the devil artillery squadron in front of him to continue the shelling for another minute.

The leader of the devil artillery squadron received instructions and continued to order the devil artillery under his command to open fire with Takeda shells.

"Tom !!"

Mortar shells whistled with a long shell tail flame, streaked across the bright sky, and then smashed heavily into Liujia Town.

The mortar explosion is still very powerful, especially most of the wooden buildings in Liujia Town, and the fire generated after the explosion cannot be stopped.

Soon, the two-minute artillery reconnaissance directly blew up Liujiazhen into a sea of fire.

The raging flames are constantly burning and wafting in the small town of Liujia Town.

"Special mother, the little devil is really evil! Even the houses of ordinary people are bombed without scruples! ”

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and looked at the houses of ordinary people who were on fire everywhere that were blown up by devil shells, and said hatefully.

"Regiment leader, when the devils enter the ambush circle in Liujia Town, it will be when they are defeated."

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, was lying on his stomach next to Li Yunlong and said with a sneer.

"Nice!! Tell the brothers, once the fight starts, don't skimp on ammunition and hit hard! I'm going to kill half of the devils as soon as possible!! Avenge the houses of the common people in Lijia Town that were blown up by the devil's artillery fire!! ”

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't worry, Commander, the brothers have been ready for a long time."

Shen Quan said in a condensed voice.

Li Yunlong bowed his head, and then continued to look at Li Jiazhen, who was bombed unscrupulously by the devil's artillery fire, gritting his teeth in his heart.

At this time, Taro Ito, Kenjiro Fujita and other devil officers who were standing less than fifty meters east of Liujiazhen watched Lijiazhen being blown into a sea of fire.

But the imaginary ambush did not appear!

"Yo Xi, it seems that there are no ambushes, Li Yunlong is afraid that he has withdrawn from Ping'an County at this time. We'll only be able to get an empty city. ”

Seeing that Liujiazhen was bombarded by artillery fire and blown into ruins, but there were no ambushes, Taro Ito couldn't help but say.

"Captain, I think we need to rush to Ping'an County as soon as possible! Perhaps, after we recapture Ping'an County, we will see if we can go north and continue to recapture Emperor Wu City and the Huting stronghold. ”

Kenjiro Fujita said, "There are a lot of things! Co-Captain! ”。

"That's right!!"

Taro Ito nodded, waved his hand and said, "Keep going!" Quickly pass through Liujiazhen, by the way, after passing through Liujiazhen, leave a squadron in Liujiazhen to hold here. ”。

"Understood, Wing Commander."

Kenjiro Fujita nodded, and then immediately instructed a staff officer on the side and said, "Captain, let's go!" ”。

"Hmm!"

Taro Ito nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the devils who commanded the two brigades began to enter Liujia Town.

At this time, the weapons in the hands of Li Yunlong and others were already aimed at the riverbed of Liujiahe.

I saw that the Japanese troops under the command of Taro Ito really marched westward along the riverbed of the Liujia River, because the Liujia Town on both sides of the riverbed was in ruins by artillery fire, and there was a raging fire, so it was impossible to go at all.

"Commander, let's fight!"

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, saw that the Japanese troops of the two brigades were almost all in the ambush circle, so he whispered to Li Yunlong.

"What's the hurry, steady! Wait until all the devils have entered the ambush circle!! ”

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" ”
