The roar of the tiger shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Yanhuang Legion roared angrily. The automatic rifles in their hands sprayed tongues of fire while they charged forward with skillful tactical movements.
The hurricane tanks at the front were speeding all the way. Their alloy bodies were mixed with newly mined special metal elements, which greatly increased their strength. The enemy's bullets were like scratching an itch, leaving not even a white spot.
After the shelling just now, less than half of the two Japanese regiments were left. They woke up from the shock and gathered together while organizing resistance.
In the violent explosion just now, many Japanese officers were killed by the shells, so the team was a bit confused, which greatly reduced their resistance.
The leader of the Matsushita Brigade pulled his body out of the pit, shook his dizzy head, stretched out his hand and wiped his face, and his face was immediately covered in blood and mud.
A Japanese soldier hurriedly took off his towel and wrapped it around his head. He looked very much like an old farmer from northern Shaanxi and looked very funny.
At this time, gunshots were ringing all around, and bullets shot around from time to time, causing the soil to fly. Japanese soldiers fell down one after another, and blood and gunpowder smoke became the main theme of the entire battlefield.
"How is the situation now?" Panasonic took a few breaths and calmed down before asking.
The brigade and regiment officer following him said, "It's very bad. The chief of staff has been shattered by the shelling just now. Two-thirds of the middle and lower-ranking officers have been injured or killed. Now some of them are still directing the troops to fight."
"Telescope!" Commander Panasonic Brigade stretched out his hand, took the telescope from someone else's hand, and lay in the shelter to look around.
This sight made him frown immediately, and he felt extremely heavy.
Today's battlefield is full of our own troops. Although there are still more than 2,000 people, they are scattered everywhere, lacking unified command, while the opponent's troops are outflanking them from all around, in an orderly manner.
They fought steadily, compressing their defensive space step by step.
In addition, he discovered that the troops of the Yanhuang Legion seemed to be equipped with a kind of alloy mobile position, which was a piece of alloy shield connected together with a special device to form an alloy bunker with a height of 1.5 meters.
It has no effect and only leaves a white spot.
As a result, this great plain that should have had no advantages has instead become a desperate situation for the Japanese. The opponent used this alloy bunker to advance step by step, and then used Hurricane tanks and Falcon fighter jets hovering overhead to give Japan
The troops were placed in an extremely disadvantageous situation.
"If this continues, we will be completely passive and beaten, and our defeat is doomed." The leader of the Matsushita Brigade was extremely anxious and wanted to come up with a solution, but the current situation left him with no solution.
Fortunately, his troops also understood and quickly gathered together to form a certain size. It would take time for the Yanhuang Army to eat them.
As the Japanese came to their senses, the Yanhuang Legion's attack speed slowed down. Although they were still advancing forward, they were obviously not as fast as before.
As a result, the two sides started a tug-of-war, fighting fiercely in different places. Smoke filled the air in all directions, and the ground turned red with blood splattered.
Of course, there were many more Japanese dead here. Compared to the Yanhuang Army, which was nearly armed to the teeth, they were simply not at an advantage. They could only grit their teeth and hold on as they were being bullied.
Looking forward to it, the Japanese soldiers hoped that the troops in Meiling Town would hear the sound of gunfire and come to support them, of course before they were all wiped out.
For this seemingly slim hope, all these Japanese soldiers fought with their lives. Many of them deliberately lured the soldiers of the Yanhuang Legion closer and started hand-to-hand combat with them, so as to use up the superiority of their equipment.
Gunfights, artillery battles, tank battles, and hand-to-hand combat were going on everywhere, turning the entire battlefield into a mess.
Captain Panasonic Brigade led his brigade headquarters and about one and a half troops to defend the only favorable terrain in the entire plain, desperately resisting the attack of the Yanhuang Army.
After attacking three times, the Yanhuang Army finally withdrew in the desperate pursuit of the Japanese. It was not impossible to defeat them, but the casualties would increase. With a sure chance of victory, it seemed that Xu Minghan did not want to incur too many casualties.
In this way, the battle quickly lasted for more than an hour. The Yanhuang Army controlled most of the battlefield, while the Japanese were compressed to an area of about one square kilometer, holding on to several temporarily built fortifications and resisting stubbornly.
When the sun passed noon, Xu Minghan and Zhu Daguang walked out of the headquarters two kilometers away and looked up at the sky.
Xu Minghan put his hands on his waist, stretched a bit, and then said with a smile, "It looks like the Japanese are about to take the bait."
Zhu Daguang also smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are the ones waiting. I thought they should have arrived ten minutes ago, but I didn't expect them to take such a long time." It seemed that he was ambushing others and was not happy with the wait.
.
Xu Minghan laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the Japanese are back. They are too anxious to eat hot tofu." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the headquarters.
Zhu Daguang snorted angrily, and then followed him towards the headquarters.
On the battlefield, the head of the Matsushita Brigade was wrapped in a towel. He looked like an old farmer in northern Shaanxi. His face was blackened by gunpowder smoke. He held a telescope in one hand and a pistol in the other.
He kept shooting at the opposite side. The Japanese soldiers beside him also kept shooting with their Sanba Gaigai.
I have to say that the Japs' marksmanship is really good, and the accuracy of the 38-gauge is very high. After the Japs found that hitting the body and head helmet was ineffective, they began to shoot specifically at the neck, face and limbs.
The third brigade received a few more wounded soldiers, which made the commander in charge cursed with anger.
But in this way, the Japs temporarily resisted the Yanhuang Legion's attack!
"Commander of the brigade, our contact with the division headquarters in Meiling Town has been cut off, but I guess the division headquarters will get the news." A staff officer crawled over and shouted loudly, "We just need to hold on a little longer.
Reinforcements will come."
"This is an opportunity!" The commander of the Panasonic Brigade had some ear problems and his hearing was greatly reduced, so he shouted loudly to the staff officer, "The main force who was looking for the Yanhuang Army could not be found. As long as we hold them back, we can give them a chance."
Other troops create opportunities to encircle them, and then they can be wiped out in one fell swoop."
Unexpectedly, the leader of the Matsushita Brigade had such great ambitions, intending to counter-encirclement and annihilate Xu Minghan and the others.
But yes, now there are two more brigades gathered in Meiling Town, with a total strength of more than 10,000, and with other troops there are 17,800. If Xu Minghan is surrounded, then Xu Minghan can be completely surrounded.
His two clumps were eaten.
But would Xu Minghan be that stupid?
About ten minutes after Panasonic said this, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out on the edge of the plain. This time, it was not just in one place, but in many places. Japanese soldiers appeared there shortly after.
It can be seen that the number of people is not small.
"Reinforcements are coming!" Commander Matsushita Brigade perked up. From his previous troop numbers, he could see that there were not only the Changdao Brigade, but also several other brigades. It seemed that they really carried out an attack on Xu Minghan as he had imagined.
Counter encirclement.
Looking at the numbers, the Japs' strength this time was around 15,000. With the few thousand he had, it was enough to encircle and annihilate more than 2,000 people.
"Warriors, the time has come to avenge the imperial soldiers, charge!" Matsushita dropped the telescope, pulled out the command knife, pointed forward, and roared loudly, "Charge with me."
Matsushita was the first to rush out. Under the influence of his commander, the rest of the Japanese soldiers rushed out with blood-red eyes, roaring and holding Sanba Gai.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers around the plain began to gather. They quickly formed an encirclement and filled in some gaps. In this way, Xu Minghan and others were surrounded.
The current situation of Xu Minghan's two regiments is not good. The Panasonic Brigade surrounded by them has more than 2,000 people who have not yet been digested. Outside, three brigades are pressing forward fiercely. For a moment, they seem to be in a desperate situation.
However, the soldiers of the Yanhuang Legion did not look depressed at all. They still shrank their positions in an orderly manner, formed a solid defensive position, and began to defend it.
This strange situation made Matsushita and other brigade leaders feel strange, and they all tried hard to think about the reason.
At the headquarters of the third brigade, Xu Minghan and Zhu Daguang stood in front of the electronic screen inside the headquarters, watching the situation on the battlefield. They could see every move of the Japanese.
Seeing the Japs pressing closer and closer, surrounding the two regiments of the Third Brigade, Xu Minghan laughed loudly, "The Japs finally fell into the trap."
"Then why are you still hanging around? Let's report it." Zhu Daguang was even more anxious than him, because he had been planning for so long and had been waiting for this moment.
Xu Minghan nodded, reached out and grabbed the encrypted phone on the table, and pressed the call button.
The phone went through, and a sonorous and powerful voice came from inside, "I'm Luo Xiao."
"Legion Commander, the Yellow Bird Plan has been successful, and the Japanese have taken the bait." Xu Minghan was also a little excited. You must know that this is the first large-scale battle between the Japanese army and the Yanhuang Army, and it may be related to the development of the subsequent situation.
Luo Xiao also perked up after hearing this. He said loudly, "Okay, then let's take action."
"Yes!" Xu Minghan responded excitedly, standing up straight at the same time.
Luo Xiao's words signaled that a battle that far exceeded the Japanese's expectations was about to begin. What awaited them might be a disaster.
In this battle, the Japanese felt that they were oriole, but they never dreamed that there were hunters waiting for them behind with bows and arrows. In the end, they were just prey.
