Chapter 171
Soon.
The Japanese brigade finally came out of the narrow corridor.
Just as they had discovered earlier.
After passing the long dirt road, the entire terrain suddenly became much wider.
Although most of the terrain here is still hilly and earthen slopes, and there are still many highlands around, the terrain is obviously much flatter.
This provides a favorable environment for the deployment of all armored units.
"Brigade Commander!"
Chief of Staff Kameda said happily: "Although there are mountains and highlands in front and behind this place, the terrain is indeed very open. Next, our troops will not need to pass through those dirt roads one by one!"
"That's right!"
Sato Yuzaburo couldn't help but smile.
There were no continuous high hills in this place, which greatly reduced the possibility of being ambushed. At the same time, the open terrain also allowed their armored forces to quickly exert their combat power. This was extremely familiar to them who were always good at field battles. At the moment, they couldn't help but proudly said: "Pass my order! Rest here for five minutes, and then the whole brigade will move forward quickly."
"Ha!"
Everyone received the order.
...
"Report!"
A soldier hurried into the house of the owner of Qingfeng Village.
"Speak."
"The Japanese brigade has entered the middle section, and all its units have officially deployed. Among them, the vanguard has taken the lead in approaching the location of Qingfeng Village. It is estimated that it will reach the end of the village in 1 hour!"
"Finally here."
Lu Zhixian looked cold.
"Captain!"
Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice: "Do we really have to do it here? I am still a little worried about whether the special forces can succeed?"
"Don't worry!"
Lu Zhixian waved his hand and said seriously: "I believe Lei Zhan can definitely complete the task."
"Okay!"
Although Zhou Weiguo didn't know where the other party got such confidence, he didn't say much. After all, the strategy had been formulated long ago. Even if Lei Zhan couldn't complete the task, at most there would be more losses. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said hurriedly: "Then wait for the devils to enter the preset position and we will start to act!"
"Yes."
Lu Zhixian nodded.
...
Not long after.
The entire 7th Brigade quickly deployed and headed towards the mountains in the distance.
That's where Qingfeng Village is located.
Of course.
The terrain here is open only relatively.
After all, most of the time, the road just now was just two cars driving side by side, and occasionally only one armored tank could pass.
Now this horizontal section is at least two or three miles long, which is naturally more than enough for them.
They advanced about five miles.
The whole section was calm and there was no ambush.
"The enemy really gave up this section!"
Sato Yuzaburo, who was sitting in the armored command vehicle, couldn't help but smile.
Compared with before.
Now this section of the road is rare and comfortable.
"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander!"
Chief of Staff Kameda looked at the many hills getting closer and closer, and said in a deep voice: "From the intelligence, the enemy's firepower output is still very fierce. Now it is getting closer and closer to the end. There are several high grounds over there, which seem to be very suitable for arranging artillery positions. In my humble opinion, we still have to be cautious. Should we wait until the second infantry battalion confirms safety before we follow up?"
"No need!"
Sato Yuzaburo waved his hand.
Although he also noticed several high grounds not far away, he didn't take it too seriously at this time.
He just said coldly: "Kameta-kun, you are too cautious. If there are really artillery positions on those high grounds, they also need the coordinated operations of their infantry. On this open road, wouldn't the enemy infantry charge and seek death? On the contrary, if they really have artillery and dare to take action at this time, it just gives us an opportunity!"
"That's right!"
Staff Officer Kameda suddenly realized.
Artillery is definitely a guarantee of firepower output in battle.
But all kinds of artillery are also extremely fragile. As long as the entire position is hit by a few shells from the enemy, all artillery will probably be completely written off.
This is why heavy artillery units often need to be extremely concealed, and often need to move immediately after firing one or several rounds of artillery, especially when the opponent also has long-range firepower.
"Hmph!"
Sato Yuzaburo sneered and said, "In the early stage, our troops could not deploy. The enemy's positions near the hilltop had a strong suppressive effect on us. But now all our troops have deployed. Once the enemy artillery starts, they will inevitably face our all-round attack. And if they are really deployed on the high ground, then they will alsoBecome a dead target for the air force!"
"The brigade commander is wise!"
"Let's go!"
Sato Yuzaburo was full of confidence and quickly called out: "The most important thing now is to enter the tail end, that is the beginning of the real annihilation of the enemy."
"Ha!"
Everyone quickly took the order.
...
Buzz buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz buzz.
Soon.
Various armored vehicles and transport vehicles moved forward.
The entire field brigade advanced in an orderly manner, especially its vanguard battalion, which was about to approach the tail end.
Huh!
The entire team of more than a thousand people rushed to the nearby area in a mighty manner.
"Yoshi!"
Takahashi Ryujin glanced at the distance and said with some surprise: "This section of the journey is relatively smooth. It seems that we will soon reach Qingfeng Village!"
The adjutant standing next to him couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, should we wait for the brigade commander and others here?"
"No need! "
Takahashi Ryujin smiled and said, "Our Second Infantry Battalion has a rare chance to be the vanguard, but we must not let Liang Sen take it away again! Now pass my order, the main force will rest here for five minutes, the first squadron will continue to advance, and send more scouts to the surrounding areas, and enter the end section one by one after confirming safety!"
"Hai!"
The adjutant nodded immediately.
Soon.
The Japanese squadron continued to advance.
At the same time, there was also a reconnaissance team that quickly moved forward, obviously wanting to confirm whether there was an ambush around.
...
"These little Japanese will never think that we are in the middle section!"
At this time, a troop was ambushing behind a hillside not far away, and it was the first battalion led by Chen Feng.
However.
They did not ambush at the end section as the Japanese expected, but behind the hillside behind the middle section.
"Don't do it! "
Chen Feng said nervously and excitedly while holding the telescope: "According to the commander's order, we will let this infantry battalion enter the last section first!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
The messenger quickly received the order.
Not long after.
Sure enough.
The scouts quickly returned and reported: "Report! There is nothing suspicious in the three miles ahead, and no ambush was found."
"Yoshi!"
Takahashi Ryujin nodded and said: "Pass my order, the third squadron will stay at the barrier, and the rest of the people will follow me into the last section! Everyone must be vigilant, and all types of artillery are ready to fight at any time! "
