Anti-Japanese War: My company commander, you let me be the main force?

Chapter 117 Attack at key locations!

Xujiayu.

The place is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the southeast and west, Jiutiaoyu in the west, Hutou Mountain in the east, and Gaomoding Mountain in the south, with a basin in the middle.

This kind of terrain is more common in Jinzhong area.

Because the surrounding terrain is relatively high, it can well avoid the wind and sand from the northwest, so there are many villages here.

However, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, many people left in order to avoid the chaos of the war. In addition, they suffered several rounds of raids by devils a few years ago, and all the remaining villagers were arrested and burned to death.

Now it has become a ghost village without people.

Some old people who go up the mountain to cut firewood often pass by Xujiayu. According to them, whenever there is thunder, they can hear screams.

Occasionally, ghosts with teeth and claws can be seen on the mountain wall.

At this moment, Su Chen's troops had already converged. The artillery company, the third company, the first battalion and the second battalion were all on standby at their respective positions.

Through the telescope and drawing a very detailed map, Su Chen has figured out the situation of Xujiayu.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for them to take the bait.

"Everything is hidden, ambush is what we are best at!"

"The officer wants us to catch them all within two hours! Do you have the confidence!"

Wei Dayong asked with a grin.

"Yes! There must be!"

"Just over 500 devils, it's not enough for us to squeeze our teeth!"

"That is, with our current weapons, we can kill as many as we can!"

The soldiers were very excited. If they were in the past, they might not be so confident.

But after many days of training, coupled with the unified German weapons, their current strength is not weaker than the devils at all.

As long as there are no accidents, there is no big problem in annihilating these devils.

In addition, there is actually another reason for their excitement, that is, they can't wait to test their recent training results.

Although the training time is not long, they clearly feel that their fighting qualities have improved, and this growth rate is unimaginable for them.

So I wanted to test how strong I am today!

Seeing the confidence of the soldiers, Su Chen was very satisfied.

This kind of self-confidence is very rare among the anti-Japanese forces. After all, weapons are no match for devils. This is an indisputable fact.

"Sir, according to the devil's current marching speed, it will take at most half an hour to arrive at our ambush location!"

Leng Feng received the news from the scouting soldiers that the devil had passed through Hutou Mountain and would soon reach Xujiayu.

Su Chen nodded: "Have the other special forces ambushed yet?"

Leng Feng: "The ambush is ready!"

"There are our team members on the surrounding highlands, and they are ready!"

Su Chen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is the cavalry battalion ready?"

Leng Feng also nodded and said: "Don't worry sir, they are already ready!"

Speaking of this, Leng Feng smiled: "They are already excited!"

"Can't wait to fight devils!"

Su Chen: "As long as you don't flinch!"

As he spoke, he raised the binoculars in his hand and began to observe.

the other side.

The devil brigade near Xujiayu still doesn't know what happened.

They are going full steam ahead.

This is a brigade of more than 520 people.

It belongs to the Third Infantry Unit of the 29th Company of the 9th Brigade of the North China Expeditionary Army.

Similar to the configuration of the Yamazaki Brigade, it is also composed of three infantry squadrons, a mountain artillery squadron, a medical squad and other independent squadrons.

The only difference is that, as a volunteer army, the horses in the mountain artillery squadron were replaced by transport vehicles.

However, in order to cope with the complex terrain, they still followed with more than 100 horses.

Captain Sakawa Xiaojie sat on the horse and followed behind.

He used to be an officer in the cavalry battalion in the army and was used to riding horses.

Moreover, following behind on horseback can also observe the army in front to prevent soldiers from falling behind.

His staff officer also rode with him.

The two are riding horses, but because of the terrain, they will not fall behind.

"Officer Ban Chuan, we are now at Xujiayu. Through here, we only need to walk 20 kilometers to reach the designated encirclement point!"

"Much faster than planned!" The staff officer said excitedly.

"I don't know if Commander Yamazaki can last until we arrive?"

Just now, they received a message from the headquarters.

Yamazaki Yohei was attacked by Eight Routes crazily, and they seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, Kazuki Yamamoto urged them to move faster.

Be sure to surround the Yamazaki brigade before it is annihilated.

"Don't worry, that guy Yamazaki Yohei is just playing tricks!"

"I know him well, he just said those things to make us go faster!"

Sakakawa Xiaojie had a look of disdain on his face, and he handed the map in his hand to the staff officer.

"And wasn't Yamazaki Yohei very proud before? He said that he occupied Lijiapo. You can see from the map that this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

"If he can't make it to us, it can only mean that they are too weak!" Sakakawa Xiaojie continued.

The staff officer glanced at the map. The side of Lijiapo is extremely steep and the attack surface is limited, so it is easier to defend!
In addition, they have sufficient firepower and aim at one direction for bombing, which can well block the opponent's attack.

It is indeed a good place.

The staff officer didn't think too much anymore, his eyes scanned the map, and he noticed the terrain they were in.

He frowned, and looked around: "But sir, the terrain of Xujiayu seems to be unfavorable to us!"

He handed out the map in his hand, wanting Sakakawa Xiaojie to take a look, but he waved his hand:
"I know what you're trying to say!"

"I've already seen this place. The hillsides on both sides are very good for the enemy to ambush!"

"However, I can guarantee that there are no enemies here!"

The staff officer was surprised: "Sir, what do you mean, we won't be blocked by the enemy?"

"This Xujiayu is an excellent blocking location!"

Unless the Eight Route Army can quickly annihilate the Yamazaki Brigade, they will definitely block the reinforcements halfway to buy time for the annihilation of the Yamazaki Brigade.

Sakagawa Xiaojie shook his head: "No! They can't wipe out the Yamazaki brigade in a short time, so they will definitely set up troops to stop us!"

"But definitely not here!"

The staff officer was surprised: "Why?"

Sakakawa Xiaojie smiled confidently: "Because they can't figure out our whereabouts!"

"And the roads here are complicated. If they set up an ambush here, we will go to Lijiapo from other roads. They will have no other use except wasting their troops in vain!"

"In addition, the troops of the Eighth Route Army are limited, so they will definitely gather their troops and block them at the key points leading to Lijiapo!"

When the staff officer heard this, he couldn't help clapping his hands, the analysis was really good.

Just the next second.

A flash of fire suddenly appeared, followed by a loud noise, and the transport vehicle in front exploded!
