Chapter 144: The battle begins when the troops are divided

"Command the troops!"

"We will camp at Liuzhuang tonight. At the same time, we will send a telegram to the first male colonel of the mountain."

"Occupy the two commanding heights of Liuzhuang immediately."

Tanito Nagai issued the order, and his adjutant immediately went to convey it.

At the front of the 31st Brigade, Colonel Yamashita's regiment took the lead.

He raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the first brigade, which was using engineer shovels and hoes to fill the road.

"idiot!"

"The army of the Republic of China has no bushido spirit at all!"

"It actually took such a form to block the march of the imperial army."

The Yamashita man was very angry because as a captain of the company, he was now doing the work of building roads.

This is an insult to Imperial soldiers.

However, all the people in the surrounding villages have fled.

The team that Yamashita sent out to capture the common people did not find any trace of the people from Middle-earth at all.

Let alone a human being, there is not even a pig or a cow.

The cursing Yamashita man walked down the high ground.

His adjutant Miyamoto Musashi stepped forward: "Your Excellency, regimental commander, the brigade commander ordered."

"Our team will head to Liuzhuang immediately and occupy the commanding heights."

"Tonight, the brigade leader will camp at Liuzhuang."

After hearing this, the man under the mountain came to the map and took a look.

"Yoshi!"

"Order the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade to go to Liuzhuang immediately."

"The 1st Brigade...continue to build roads!"

As the two brigades of the Yamashita Regiment went to Liuzhuang, the first brigade built roads.

The 31st Brigade currently has one infantry regiment left.

On this road, the remaining Japanese soldiers were all arranged in a long snake formation.

This is very advantageous for the 127th Division to fight an ambush.

After Zhou Jishi saw that the Japanese troops were divided, he immediately called Chen Li.

"Division Commander, the 31st Brigade has been divided."

"Now there is only an infantry regiment on the road, as well as engineers, artillery and cavalry units."

When Chen Li heard this, he said, "Okay, okay!"

"Order the troops to get me in position in twenty-five minutes."

"In thirty minutes, the battle will begin. Wipe out this brigade for me."

Following Chen Li's order.

The 127th Division, a regiment of the 124th Division, and the newly formed 10th Regiment immediately began to move toward the 31st Brigade.

Among them, the newly formed 10th Regiment and a regiment of the 124th Division were responsible for annihilating Yamahatao's regiment in Liuzhuang.

The new commander of the 10th Regiment, Bai Changsheng, looked at the running soldiers and shouted: "Brothers."

"Go to Liuzhuang immediately. We will work with a regiment of the 124th Division to annihilate the Yamashita Regiment."

"Run faster for me. Although we are a new group, you still have to show your strength when it comes to fighting."

"Liu Zhuang...Liu Zhuang...is just far away!"

"Work harder!"

"After this battle is over, I will ask the commander of the 124th Division to perform a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance for the brothers."

Bai Changsheng cheered for the soldiers.

Now it's a mobile battle, competing for time with the little devil.

Liuzhuang is relatively close to the 124th Division, and the regimental commander of the 124th Division may have reached the outskirts of the village now.

When the 2nd and 3rd brigades of Yamashita Regiment arrived at the outskirts of Liuzhuang.

I found that the whole village was very quiet. Regarding this phenomenon, the two captains did not have any doubts.

Because since entering the Sichuan Army's defense area, every time the Japanese went to a village, they found that there were no people in the village.

There were no pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, and they were all taken away by the common people.

On the two commanding heights of Liuzhuang.

The commander of the 124th Division...Zhang Tianyi!

Through the telescope, I found that the Japanese soldiers in these two groups marched more lazily.

It may be that after entering the Sichuan Army's defense zone, the Japs have not been attacked, which lowered their vigilance.

Zhang Tianyi said without turning around: "Rifle!"

His guard took out a 98K rifle and handed it to Zhang Tianyi.

Now in the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army, all soldiers with good marksmanship are equipped with Mauser 98K.

Mauser 98K rifle, equipped with an optical sight.

Zhang Tianyi aimed at the head of a Japanese squadron leader.

"Bang bang!!——"

Gunshots rang out, and the Japanese squadron leader fell to the ground before he could react.

After Zhang Tianyi fired, all the soldiers in the regiment also opened fire on the Japanese soldiers.

Machine guns, rifles, and grenade launchers all greeted the Japanese.

The two brigades of Japanese soldiers never thought that they would be ambushed.

The first round of firepower from the Sichuan Army made the Japanese soldiers scream.

The two Japanese captains quickly commanded the troops to counterattack and at the same time make a detour to the commanding heights.

If the little devil comes to seize the commanding heights, Zhang Tianyi will naturally not agree.

The light and heavy machine guns on the hillside were aimed at the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain.

The Japanese artillerymen saw the infantry being ambushed and immediately positioned themselves five hundred meters behind.

Start building mortar positions!

Eight mortars were quickly set up with the help of the little devils.

on the hill!

After Zhang Tianyi discovered the Japanese artillery position, he was about to call in his own artillery.

When I took away the Japs' mortars, I suddenly saw the rear of the Japs' position.

Intense gunshots were heard, and a large number of Sichuan troops were seen, carrying machine guns, aiming at the Japanese mortar positions and sweeping across them.

Because the Japs' artillery unit has been paying attention to the Sichuan Army on the commanding heights.

They completely ignored whether there were enemy troops behind them.

"Well played!"

Zhang Tianyi shouted.

This sudden force, he guessed, might be Bai Changsheng's newly formed 10th regiment.

Because Bai Changsheng failed to move in time, Zhang Tianyi's group occupied two commanding heights.

There were 800 people distributed at each commanding height. Compared with the Japanese, the force was a bit weak.

However, the terrain is favorable to the Sichuan army.

After Zhang Tianyi's regiment withstood the first wave of Japanese attacks, the position was temporarily stable.

Just now Zhang Tianyi was afraid of the Japanese artillery. Once the Japanese artillery bombarded him.

This will make defense more difficult.

Now Bai Changsheng's regiment has killed the Japs' artillery unit, which greatly weakened the Japs' firepower.
