I rise from the sword

Chapter 376 A sneak attack, a little devil who doesn't talk about martial arts
Hearing Watanabe's words, Yoshida Mauteng's face immediately became gloomy. He glared at the other party and said, "Watanabe, what do you mean by that? Right now, the 2nd Regiment of the Imperial Army has managed to get out of Fenyang County. A few sections of the west gate wall collapsed, which is the most suitable position for night raids, and you actually want to snatch the fruits of victory from my 2nd regiment?"

Watanabe was not angry, he said with a smile: "Yoshida-kun, you are treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, you have completely misunderstood my original intention.

I am here to take care of you, your 2nd Wing. Your Wing has already suffered so many casualties in previous battles, so it should take a good rest. "

How could Yoshida Mauten not know Watanabe's little girl in his heart, he said: "It's not impossible for your 3rd regiment to attack, but you can't go to the west gate of my 2nd regiment's main attack."

"..."

Watanabe suddenly showed an ugly expression as if he had eaten a fly. If he didn't go to Ximen, he would still have a ball.

Yoshida Maoden was unreasonable: "What? I've seen through my thoughts, so I'm speechless?"

Not only Watanabe, but the rest of the people also gave up their plans to speak, and all looked at Masamori Honma, who was sitting at the top.

Because it is most appropriate to attack from the west gate. If you don't attack from the west gate, then tonight's night attack will be meaningless.

At this time, Masami Honma finally spoke, and he said: "Yoshida-kun, what Watanabe-kun said is not unreasonable, your 2nd regiment has been fighting for days, and the soldiers are very tired, why don't you take a good rest. .”

Masami Honma seems not very willing to let Yoshida Maoto's 2nd Wing take the lead. As the division head of the 27th Division, he is well aware of the current combat effectiveness of the 2nd Wing.

Rationally speaking, the paper strength of the 3rd Alliance is stronger than that of the 2nd Alliance. Therefore, if the 3rd Alliance is the main attacker, the winning rate will be higher.

Yoshida Maoto naturally knew what Honma Masami was worried about, and insisted immediately: "Your Excellency, division commander, you don't have to worry about the humble 2nd regiment, because the humble 2nd regiment has been replenished and has a complete organization!"

"In addition, our 2nd Wing has already crushed thousands of imperial troops in the hands of the sharp regiment of the Chinese Army, this is undoubtedly a huge shame for my 2nd Wing!

At present, our entire regiment hates the sharp regiment of the Chinese army, and wishes to wipe out the entire army of the sharp regiment of the Chinese army, so as to comfort those imperial soldiers who are broken!

And this anger of hatred will be a super fighting power! "

Yoshida Maoto became more and more excited as he spoke, and he paused for a moment before he issued a military order and said, "Your Excellency, division commander, if our regiment fails to plant the general flag on the head of the city of Fenyang County before dawn, I would like to apologize with a heart-to-heart!!! "

Masa Honma saw that his subordinates were so resolute in asking for a war, and after a little consideration, he healed and agreed to his request.

"Yoshida-kun, as a soldier, you should know that there is no joke in the army. Since you are so resolute in your pursuit of war, the main attack task of attacking the sharp regiment of the Chinese Army at night will be given to your second regiment!"

"Hi Yi! Thank you, Your Excellency, Division Chief, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Yoshida Maoto stood up abruptly and nodded heavily.

After Masami Honma finalized the raid plan for tonight, he immediately began to formulate detailed operational plans and deployments.

What he wants is not just to attack the Zhongrui regiment at night, but to wipe them all out in one go!

Immediately after the meeting, Yoshida returned to his wing headquarters and began preparations for the night attack.

The ghost soldiers of the 2nd Wing distributed tracer bombs, flares, and other required weapons and equipment needed for field battles...

Taiyuan Shanxi.

Japanese 1st Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka had already learned that the 27th Division's attack was unfavorable again. At this moment, the old devil was holding an emergency military meeting head-on.

All the devil officers present could clearly feel the cold anger emanating from Shinozuka Yoshio from the top position.

They were afraid that the disaster would lead to trouble, so they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Yoshio Shinozuka's almost cannibalistic eyes.

Yoshio Shinozuka would not be so angry if it was just that the 27th Division's attack was unfavorable. The main reason is that the 1st Flying Regiment lost more than 10 fighter planes in this attack.

You know, fighter planes are strategic weapons for the Japanese army.

Especially the army raised by their stepmother, their fighter planes are pitifully small, and almost every one of them is a treasure.

In addition to fighter planes, well-trained aviation soldiers are even more treasures of treasures.

The reason why the Japanese army was able to run amok on the Chinese land and occupied a large area of ​​Chinese land with an unstoppable force, in addition to the excellent quality of the soldiers, largely relied on these fighters!

Moreover, in general battles, the Japanese army usually only sends a few or even a dozen fighters to participate in the battle to cooperate with the actions of the ground forces.

Right now, it's just a small battle. In less than one morning, they lost more than 10 fighter planes and more than 10 excellent aviation soldiers.

It's not surprising that Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry.

"Baga! This damn second theater of the China Army, I didn't expect that they still have a group of aviation soldiers. It's really disgusting!"

Immediately, the old devil turned his head to look at a devil's chief, and scolded: "Mr. Xiao Lin, what is your intelligence department doing? Why is there no intelligence information about this aviation unit until now!"

The name of this devil is Jiro Kobayashi. He is the intelligence leader in Shanxi and is responsible for collecting all kinds of information about the second theater.

Hearing Yoshio Shinozuka scolding him by name, Kobayashi Jiro's forehead broke out in cold sweat. He quickly stood up and explained: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not that you are incompetent, but according to reliable information. The Second Theater of the Chinese Army no longer has aviation units!"

"There is no aviation unit in the Second Theater of the Chinese Army?"

Shinozuka Yoshio smiled angrily, "Then how do you explain the Chinese fighter jets that appeared above Fenyang County this morning?"

"This……"

Kobayashi Jiro was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

At this time, the chief of staff Miyano Jun opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have a guess. Is it because the aviation of the China Army is not in Shanxi, so the intelligence department has not collected any information?"

After a pause, Jun Miyano changed his voice and continued: "Although the Germans have denied that they supported the Chinese fighter jets, this is only a one-sided statement of the Germans after all, and the possibility of small actions behind the scenes cannot be ruled out."

"Otherwise, how can the fighter planes and aviation of the China Army be the opponent of our imperial aviation?"

Shinozuka Yoshio bowed his head and pondered, neither agreeing with Toshi Miyano's speculation nor denying his speculation.

Kobayashi Jiro next to him looked at the Chief of Staff Toshi Miyano with great gratitude. If he hadn't been rescued by the other party, even if he would not have been sent to a military court, he might lose his current position.

Jun Miyano continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, right now, the biggest threat to our Imperial Japanese Army is not the Chinese Army's Zhongrui Regiment, but this damn aviation unit!"

"So, Beizhi believes that we should continue to strengthen the investigation of this air force, and at the same time expand the scope of investigation to a wider area outside Shanxi!"

"Ok!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded his head deeply, then turned his head and looked at Kobayashi Jiro with eyes full of dissatisfaction: "Kobayashi-kun, I will give you another week, and you must investigate clearly the matter within a week. All the information about the China Air Force!"

"Otherwise, you can cut your own belly and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, and to those Imperial Army soldiers whose jade was crushed under the Chinese fighter plane!"

"Hi Yi! You must do your best to complete the task!"

Kobayashi Jiro had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.

……

The screen is pulled to the side of Fenyang County.

In the middle of the night, the units of the 2nd Infantry Regiment stationed by the devils began to gather towards the county under the cover of night.

Night raids are not about having as many people as possible. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed.

Therefore, Yoshida Maoden only sent his first brigade to be responsible for the main attack, and the remaining two brigades were responsible for supporting the attack as the second echelon.

In order to attack smoothly, Yoshida Maoto temporarily reorganized his 1st Battalion into a reinforced brigade. In addition to 5 infantry squadrons, the brigade was also equipped with a machine gun squadron and a mortar squadron, with a total strength of more than 1600 people.

To the west of the city, 5 kilometers outside the city.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when murderers and arsonists.

It began to drizzle at night, there was no moonlight or stars, and it was pitch black outside, and you could hardly see your fingers. It was a good time for a sneak attack.

Yoshida Maoden stood outside the city wearing a woolen coat, letting the drizzle fall on his body. He held a command knife in his right hand, and raised his left hand to check the time on his watch.

At this time, a Japanese communications officer hurried to Yoshida Mauteng and reported to him with a slam: "Report to Your Excellency, Captain, all the troops have assembled, and our troops are ready to attack the Chinese army in the city at any time! "

"Yo Xi!"

Yoshida Maoden nodded, looking at the drizzle in front of him, he was full of confidence in tonight's night attack.

He calmed down his excited heart a little bit, and then instructed: "Order the 1st Infantry Battalion to take action immediately!"

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's communications officer paused abruptly, and was about to turn around and leave.

Yoshida Maoto stopped him again, "Wait a minute."

The devil's communications officer asked suspiciously, "Your Excellency, Captain, what else do you want?"

Yoshida Shigeru said: "Tell the 1st Battalion to march quietly, don't shoot guns, and don't disturb the Chinese sentinels defending the city. Wait for the troops to touch the city before launching a surprise attack!"

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's communications officer paused again, and he waited for a few more seconds. Seeing that the captain Yoshida Maoto had no other instructions, he turned and left, conveying the order to the frontline combat troops.

Soon, the Devil's No. 1 Brigade launched an attack.

More than 1600 devil soldiers were divided into several combat echelons. Yang Lin maintained a tactical formation and quickly moved towards the west of the city quietly under the cover of night.

Half an hour later, the devil soldiers took advantage of it and successfully approached 1 kilometer outside the city.

"Yo Xi!"

Yoshida Maoto has been watching the attack of the 1st Battalion from the rear. When he learned through the report that it has advanced to a position 1 km away from the city wall, an imperceptible smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The night attack was stable this time. With a distance of only 1 kilometer, if the first brigade rushed at full speed, it would take less than 1 minutes to reach the city.

In such a short period of time, not to mention that the Zhongrui group in the city did not find anything abnormal, even if they found it now, it would be too late.

However, what the old devil didn't know was that Yang Lin had already ordered his troops to deploy a large number of mines outside the city, and he was waiting for them to drill into them to die.

At this time, the ghost soldiers rushing forward could vaguely see the outline of Fenyang County in front of them, and their hearts became excited, and even their breathing quickened a bit.

It must be mentioned that everything has two sides. Although the pitch-black night can provide cover for the little devils, it also obstructs their vision, making it difficult to see the landmines deployed on the ground.

"Keep going!"

The devil's attacking troops pressed their footsteps and advanced another 200 meters silently.

Suddenly, several devil soldiers walking in front were caught off guard and stepped on the anti-personnel mines on the ground.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

Several landmines were detonated one after another, and the deafening explosion instantly broke the tranquility of the night.

The devil soldiers marching ahead were bombed by landmines, and a large area fell down immediately.

"Uh, ah, ah..."

In the dark night, the devils screamed like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

"Baga Road! There are landmines, these damn Chinese people have deployed mines in the ground!!!"

"My eyes, my legs, save me, save me..."

The devils at the blast point were very miserable. Some little devils were killed on the spot, some had their legs broken, and some had their bodies and eyes scratched by landmine fragments.

They no longer cared about exposing their targets, and howled and screamed while hugging their bleeding wounds, as if this would relieve their pain.

The ghost soldier's nightmare has just begun!
In order to prevent the little devils from attacking at night, the Zhongrui regiment deployed a large minefield outside the city, and the closer they were to the city, the greater the density of the mines.

In other words, there are actually some landmines behind the little devils, so even if they retreat, it is very likely that they will step on the landmines...

The defenders of the Zhongrui regiment in the city also heard those earth-shattering laces, and they immediately became vigilant.

"It's not good, the Tuan Zuo really predicts things like a god, there is a little devil coming to sneak attack!"

"Brothers, immediately enter the combat position and prepare for battle!"

"Flare flares are ready, machine gunners and mortars are ready to suppress firepower!"

The officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Regiment immediately picked up the tweeter that Yang Lin gave them to warn them. The soldiers woke up from their sleep one after another, took up their weapons as quickly as possible, left the barracks and climbed up the tower, ready to fight.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Soon, several flares flew out from the city wall, and rushed towards the top of the little devil in the minefield...
