A Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over Gaoping City like a giant fly.

Because of the lessons learned from their captured colleagues, the Japanese pilots pulled the fighter jets very high and did not dare to lower their altitude for reconnaissance.

"Report report, Gao, there is no one in Pingcheng!"

"Repeat, there is no one in Gaoping City!"

The Japanese pilot reported to the ground via radio,

"There are obvious signs of fortifications on the city walls and inside the city, but there is no one on the streets!"

The ground seemed to be digesting the news he reported, and after a while he said:

"Your Excellency, the General, orders you to lower your altitude, get closer for reconnaissance, and reconfirm the situation in the city!"

The pilot made a face in the cabin. Wasn't this order asking him to die?

He did not see Chinese soldiers in the sky, but this did not mean that there were no hidden dangers in the city. After all, what he saw in the sky would be interfered by many factors.

After hesitating for a while, he still said to the communicator:

"Understood, come to investigate and confirm the situation in the city!"

The plane descended slowly but still remained at a relatively safe altitude.

The pilot's heart gradually became nervous, and he shook his head left and right, trying to see the situation in the city clearly as quickly as possible.

The streets criss-crossing the city were deserted without a soul in sight, but as he said before, there were obvious traces of formula-based construction on the city walls and gates.

Just when he was relaxing a little, a bright light suddenly came towards him in a large courtyard in the city.

The pilot was horrified, and instinctively controlled the aircraft to avoid it, while shouting into the communicator:

"There is an anti-aircraft firepower in the city, and I was attacked!"

"Boom boom boom..."

One shell after another exploded under the plane, and shrapnel crackled on the outer shell of the aircraft, scaring the pilot inside into panic.

Fortunately, the plane had been kept at a relatively high position, and the pilot did not have to make much effort to avoid the anti-aircraft fire.

He no longer dared to stay over the city, so he headed north in a panic.

"Bagaya, the aviation force is getting worse and worse!"

Seeing the pilot's embarrassing escape, Major General Takahashi Tagaji cursed angrily.

Last night, without the imperial army knowing it, and in front of them, the soldiers retreated completely.

This puzzled the Major General who had been hit one after another. His first feeling was that Jiangdong was setting a trap for him again.

At the same time, he also received news that the soldier from the east branch in the direction of Lingchuan also disappeared without a trace, and the 80th Regiment moved up and down without any hindrance.

What happened was so weird. From the perspective of Takahashi Tagaji, there was danger everywhere, and he did not dare to act rashly.

It was not until the 80th Regiment successfully rendezvoused with the 79th Regiment that he felt it was no longer in danger, and led the army towards Gaoping in a mighty manner.

Looking at the quiet Gaoping City, the Major General felt the danger again. In order to explore the situation in the city, he ordered the aviation brigade to send a reconnaissance plane to assist.

But the cowardly pilot simply walked around twice before running away. Apart from confirming that there was a branch in the city, the soldier, the reconnaissance pilot saw nothing.

The commander of the 79th Regiment, Ichiro Morimoto, and the commander of the 80th Regiment, Colonel Hizuki Kenji, are both looking at the Major General, waiting for his decision and order.

Compared to the 79th Regiment, which was badly beaten and crippled, the 80th Regiment's organization has basically remained intact. They have not launched any fearless attacks in the past few days, and Jiangdong has not prepared traps for them.

The 79th Regiment currently has more than 2,000 men, and the 80th Regiment has more than 3,500 men. Including the troops directly under the brigade, the field artillery regiment and the heavy supply troops, Takahashi Taga still has more than 9,500 available in his second hand.

soldiers.

Of course, only about 6,000 of them can directly participate in the charge.

He still remembered that the order given to him by the division commander was to trap Jiangdong's troops in Gaoping. With the current strength of the troops, it seemed a bit difficult to complete such a task.

Entrapment and total annihilation are two very different concepts. The former Major General can barely achieve it, but he is a little unsure about the latter.

After thinking for a while, His Majesty the Major General slowly spoke,

"Report the current situation of our department to your Excellency the division commander in detail!"

"Morimoto-kun, you have more experience fighting the independent 79th Regiment. In a moment, your department will select a small team to launch a tentative attack on Gaoping. The main purpose is to detect the enemy's defensive strength and firepower points."

"Gaoping is the last city leading to Jincheng. Dabeishan and Jiangdong can retreat, but Gaoping is the north gate of Jincheng. He will not give up no matter what."

"Although the aviation unit didn't see anything, I believe Koto and his troops are in the city."

"The Battle of Gaoping will be a bloody and humiliating battle for our 20th Regiment. The honor of the soldiers and the dignity of the samurai will be proven in this battle!"

"Gentlemen! Work hard for His Majesty the Emperor!"
