Chapter 172
Buzz buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz buzz.
Various armored vehicles are driving.
The main force of the entire brigade is constantly advancing.
"Report!"
Soon a signalman said loudly: "Captain Takahashi just sent a letter, he has led the main force of the brigade into the terminal area, no abnormalities have been found for the time being, and the third squadron of the unit is still staying at the entrance to support us!"
"Yoshi!"
Sato Yuzaburo nodded and praised: "Takahashi is indeed a rare warrior. Now that he is in charge of the main attack, he is not inferior to Liangsen."
Everyone present was also excited.
From this point of view.
The previous judgment of the brigade commander was indeed correct.
The other party did not and did not dare to choose to take action at this time, so the next problem was easier to deal with.
"Brigade Commander!"
However, at this moment, Chief of Staff Kameda frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although Takahashi has entered the end first, the many high grounds not far away are really suitable for building artillery positions, and our scouts cannot check them all one by one. Although the possibility is very low, if they are really waiting for our main force to enter the ambush circle, our air force is not in place at the moment, and I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses at that time."
"Kameda, you are still too cautious!"
Sato Yuzaburo did not agree with this at all, and said lightly: "From a tactical point of view, the opponent can indeed achieve certain results if they take action at this time, but what about next?"
"This-"
Chief of Staff Kameda was speechless.
Sato Yuzaburo said loudly again: "Our troops are now fully deployed. Even if there are some losses, we can quickly adjust. The terrain in the middle section is very favorable to us. What else does it have besides the barely decent firepower output? Those hills are isolated and are completely live targets for our troops. Only the stupidest commander would place artillery positions there!"
"But--"
Chief of Staff Kameda was still a little hesitant.
To be honest.
He didn't think the other party was wrong.
The importance of artillery positions is self-evident.
Usually, let alone howitzers, even ordinary mortars are placed behind the troops as much as possible.
At this time, the surrounding high ground positions are relatively prominent. Although it is easy to achieve amazing results when launching an attack, after all, the position is too forward and it is easy to be counterattacked, especially when we still have fighter planes, it is extremely easy to become a live target, and it will be impossible to move at that time!
But even if there are many reasons.
He still smelled a certain danger.
Thinking of this, he still insisted: "Sir, although Qingfeng Village is a group of bandits, they have repeatedly dealt heavy blows to our empire's elite troops. They must not be treated as ordinary troops. Now my army has raised the butcher knife. Even if a dog is desperate, it will jump over the wall, let alone the Chinese troops! In the past, haven't we encountered many fearless Chinese troops?"
After this, everyone was silent.
Yes.
Although the Seventh Brigade has already achieved countless impressive results in previous battles, it has also encountered many difficult opponents.
These Chinese troops are far behind them in terms of weapons and equipment and training. Many times in the field battle, when they are clearly surrounded, they have never thought of laying down their weapons. Often, they end up taking a tactic of mutual destruction, which has always been a headache for them.
Now?
If these bandits also choose to exchange heads at this time when they know they are defeated.
That is absolutely unacceptable to them.
"Okay!"
Thinking of this, Sato Yusaburo was not stubborn. He said in a deep voice: "Your statement touched me. Those Chinese troops do have the possibility of choosing to perish together. In this case, the main force of the brigade will rest here for the time being, send scouts to conduct more reconnaissance in various places, and telegraph the headquarters to request the dispatch of an aviation squadron for early support!"
"Yes, brigade commander!"
Everyone immediately took the order.
...
"No follow-up?"
Lu Zhixian in the main house of Qingfeng Village frowned.
"Yes, commander!
Wei Dayong nodded and said: "Just got the news that the main force of the devils suddenly stopped advancing, and everyone was resting in place. At present, it seems that they have no plans to continue advancing!"
"Is it exposed?"
"Not necessarily."
Zhou Weiguo thought about it and shook his head, saying: "Our artillery positions are very concealed, and the devil scouts should not be able to identify them one by one in a short time. "
Lu Zhixian nodded.
He had inspected the surrounding terrain before, and the positions set up by Zhou Weiguo were indeed very hidden.
Otherwise, he would not have formulated the current strategy before, thinkingAll he could do was sigh and say, "It seems that the Japs are much more cunning than we thought!"
"Captain!"
Zhou Weiguo frowned and said, "If the Japs don't take the bait, it will be very disadvantageous for us! If we wait for them to advance steadily, even if we can hold on, the losses will definitely be huge."
"Where is the Japs' vanguard now?"
"Just passed Qilingjiao and is about to enter the area where Commander Han of the Assault Battalion is responsible for retreating."
"Very good!"
Lu Zhixian's eyes flashed with a teasing look, and he said, "If this unit had always been guarding the pass, I would have been It's really difficult, but since he dared to come in so boldly, how can we not treat him well? "
"What the commander means is-"
"Didn't the main force of the Japanese follow up? Then I will beat him until it hurts, until it hurts!"
Lu Zhixian sneered and said solemnly: "Now pass my order, telegraph the assault battalion, and immediately launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese vanguard! This time there is no time, firepower, or method restrictions. I want to see large-scale reinforcements from the main force of the Japanese within half an hour!"
"Yes, commander!"
Zhou Weiguo quickly accepted the order.
...
In the distance.
Outside a desolate hillside.
Since the sniper was completed in the front section before.
Han Shaogong was arranged to block the front half of the end. To be honest, he was still a little dissatisfied with this arrangement.
Who made his commander never want to fight at the end?
The short half-hour sniping was not satisfying at all. Although the current position was important, he might not even be able to catch up with the next battle, which made him extremely depressed.
The most important thing was that the Japanese vanguard in front of him was about to enter his position, and the regiment commander had not ordered a sniping attack until now.
How could this not be uncomfortable?
"Battalion commander!"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came in a hurry.
"Speak!"
"The regiment commander called and ordered our troops to immediately launch an attack on the Japanese vanguard. The regiment commander must see the reinforcement of the main force of the Japanese within half an hour!"
"Great!"
Han Shaogong trembled all over, and then he was ecstatic.
