Dongjia Village, Dongjia Ancestral Hall.

The Japanese army independent mixed 9th Brigade was formed.

"General!" Guya strode in, holding his feet straight and saluting to the help of Yukiko Nobusuke.

Yokotonosuke took his gaze from the sand table and asked the Hokya fiercely, "Kuya, I heard you caught dozens of suspicious elements and sent them to the brigade headquarters?"

"Hayi." Guya paused his head, "I think these dozens of suspicious elements are very suspicious."

Eizusa Suzuki frowned and said, "Since these dozens of suspicious elements are very suspicious, just execute them directly, why should they be caught back?"

"Chief of Staff, it's a pity to kill it." Kuya said violently, "If these dozens of suspicious elements are really intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army, they can be used for it."

"That's something that should be worryed about in the Special High School." Suzuki Eizaku, "It's not something you, an intelligence consultant, should be asked about. Don't forget that we are the combat troops."

"Hayi." Guya paused his head violently and said in shame, "Then I will execute these suspicious elements now."

After saying that, Guwu turned around and walked out without a trace of hesitation, as if he was really going to execute these suspicious elements.

"Forget it." said Yukitokonosuke, "Since everyone has been captured, let's take the custody first. It's not too late to deal with them when this mobilization operation is over."

"Hayi." Guya suddenly paused his head again and walked to the side.

At this time, another intelligence officer hurried in to report: "General, he had just received an urgent call from the 40th Independent Infantry Brigade that a large-scale Eighth Route Army was gathering towards Houmiao Village."

"Gomiao Village?" Yokoto Nosuke's eyes returned to the sand table.

Suzuki Eizusaku quickly found the Houmiao land, pointed to the sand table and said, "General, Houmiao Village is here."

After seeing clearly the location of Houmiao Village, Yokoto Nosuke's brows immediately subconsciously frowned.

Because Houmiao Village is too close to Dongjia Village, the straight-line distance is less than five kilometers, the Eighth Route Army almost came directly towards his brigade headquarters.

Is this a coincidence?

Or is there an accurate source of information?

Also, what did the Eighth Route Army want to do? Directly attack his brigade headquarters?

Eizusaku Suzuki also discovered this and said, "General, Houmiao Village is too close to Dongjia Village! Should I hurry up and let the 39th Independent Infantry Brigade move closer to Dongjia Village?"

"No need." Yukitokonosuke waved his hand and said, "The 40th Independent Infantry Battalion is guarding Houmiao Village. Not to mention a mere independent regiment, even the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will never be able to break through the blockade line in a short period of time."

After pausing, Tori Yokotosuke said again: "What's more, even if the independent regiment really breaks through the blockade line in Houmiao Village, it will never pose a real threat to our brigade team!"

Eizusa Suzuki stopped talking about anything more.

Because he also felt that what Yukichiko nosuke said was reasonable.

In addition to a guard squadron, the brigade headquarters of the Independent Mixed Brigade also has one artillery, baggage team, engineer team, and communication team, with all the troops exceeding two thousand!

This is almost equivalent to the strength of two independent infantry brigades!

With so many people, can't the safety of the brigade team?

Yue Shenghu groaned and said, "I don't know if the Eighth Route Army chose Houmiao Village as a breakthrough or was intentional? If it was just a coincidence, their luck would be too bad, but if they did it intentionally, it would be seeking death!"

...

On the right side of Houmiao Village is a large open area, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

With the cover of night, Sun Desheng led the three cavalry companies of the cavalry battalion to the west side of the open land and lurked in a cornfield.

All the military horses were covered with bridles and their horses were covered with cotton.

This is to wait for the charge to catch the enemy as secretly as possible.

Even if you can only fight for more than ten seconds, it is excellent, because this precious dozen seconds can allow many well-trained cavalry to survive the enemy's firepower!

The army and horses were connected to each other, feeling the tense atmosphere before the war and making an uneasy commotion.

Sun Desheng and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion kept gently stroking the neck of the military horse with their hands to relieve their tension. The military horse felt the care of the master and gradually calmed down.

At some point, a dazzling white light suddenly illuminated the night sky.

It was a flare fired by the artillery company, which instantly illuminated the area within a few kilometers.

Immediately afterwards, the 8 90mm mortars and one of the 81mm and 82mm mortars of the artillery company fired cannons at the same time, pouring rows of shells onto the Japanese positions.

A cluster of red light immediately emerged from the Japanese position on the west side of Houmiao Village.

Through the telescope's field of view, Sun Desheng could vaguely see that logs, steel plates and other building materials were blown up, and occasionally he could see machine guns and Japanese who were blown away.

Seeing this, Sun Desheng was immediately happy.

It was finally the Japanese's turn to be bombarded today.

...

But Akimoto Masayoshi's nose was crooked.

Akimoto Masayoshi is the captain of the 40th Battalion of the Independent Infantry.

When the Independent Regiment Artillery Company launched the artillery bombardment, Akimoto Masayoshi was lying on the observation post on the top of his command center to observe the enemy situation.

Seeing rows of shells landing on the position on the right side of Houmiao Village, blowing the defensive positions of the 2nd Infantry Squadron deployed there, Akimoto Masayoshi was furious.

"Baga!" Akimoto Masayoshi said furiously, "Order, the artillery squadron will fight back immediately!"

The Japanese infantry brigades are generally equipped with an artillery squadron, equipped with 4 75 mountain cannons and 2 92 infantry cannons.

After receiving the order from Masayoshi Akimoto, the artillery squadron immediately implemented artillery fire counter-attacks and poured rows of artillery shells into the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Akimoto Masayoshi raised his telescope again.

It turned out that the counterattack of the artillery squadron had no effect.

Because the Eighth Route Army built the artillery positions on the back slope of the mountain, the Japanese artillery firepower could not threaten them at all.

"Bagayaru! These damn cunning Chinese rabbits!" Akimoto Masayoshi cursed again with anger, but he had no choice but to watch the position of the 2nd Infantry Squadron being bombed.

The Eighth Route Army's shelling of the 2nd Infantry Squadron's position lasted for more than five minutes.

When the red light generated by the last shell explosion was also disillusioned, the whole world was once again shrouded in darkness, and it seemed to be darker than before.

Akimoto Masayoshi subconsciously pricked up his ears.

Because according to the standard infantry exercises, infantry charges after shelling.

The Eighth Route Army would blow the trumpet before charging, and like to yell when charging.

However, the situation this time was a bit abnormal. It was almost half a minute after the shelling, and I didn’t hear the sound of the military trumpets, let alone the shouts of the Eighth Route Army. What’s going on?

Akimoto Masayoshi felt something was wrong.
