From the beginning of entering the battlefield until now, he has killed many troops, so this also gave the 72nd Division strong confidence, and gave Yamano Kojiro strong confidence, but he didn't know how long his confidence would last this time...

At least we have to wait until he kills the independent column.

“这个我明白,但是我们72师团也不是吃素的。我们72师团一共是6个步兵联队,两个步兵旅团,每一个步兵团大概都有1万多人。而且我们每一个步兵旅团下面可是有接近两个炮兵中队这加起来就是接近12门70mm口径的90炮和12门75mm口径的四一式野炮,更何况我们的炮兵部队之中还有着榴弹炮部队那105mm口径的榴弹炮就有12门,150mm口径的榴弹炮也有6门之多。”

"This is just a small part of our strength. Although we don't have tanks, we still have a lot of artillery, including a lot of 60mm and 90mm mortars. Even if this independent column has strong artillery support, why should we be afraid? We also have very strong artillery support. What's more, the flying unit has already contacted us. They will not bomb the new city of Song County tonight, but will bomb the county seat of Song County tomorrow."

"Once the flying corps has finished bombing Song County, it will be a good time for us to attack. For us, our usual means of combat is to use aircraft bombing followed by infantry charge, while the artillery also carries out continuous bombing, so as to give independence a powerful artillery strike capability..."

Although the 72nd Division has not yet fought with the independent column, the commander of the 72nd Division, Yamano Kojiro, has already figured out something...

That is to have a good fight with the Independent Column and use our artillery strike capability to deal a fatal blow to the Independent Column.

However, they basically made a big mistake. That is, before they actually fought with the main force of the Independent Column, no one knew what the firepower configuration of the Independent Column was.

What they knew was basically what the soldiers who escaped from the battlefield told them, but in fact these soldiers had basically never seen what the real artillery unit of the independent column looked like.

During the artillery bombardment, almost all the Japanese soldiers were unaware...

Yamano Kojiro originally wanted to come with the 56th Division to attack Song County, but was vetoed by the old Japanese commander. After all, there was only a small Central Army unit stationed in Song County, and even in Shi County, there was only a small independent column infantry regiment. There was no need to have so many infantry units to surround these county towns.

Doing so would be a loss. But now the old devil is somewhat regretful, after all, the strength of the 56th Division has made him realize that his own troops are somewhat stretched.

"Hi... Your Excellency, Division Commander, should we continue to move forward? General Ono Ichiro also asked us to meet up at a place 50km away from where we met. It's called the Wolf Head Mountain area... The terrain there is complex and very suitable for ambushes. Moreover, the troops of the Independent Column are now encircling and suppressing the remaining soldiers of the 56th Division. General Ono Ichiro wants to lead the Independent Column, the 88nd Division of the Central Army, and the 72th Division of the puppet army that surrendered to the Independent Column to the Wolf Head Mountain area. At the same time, let our flying troops and the nd Division go over to support them and give them a fatal blow when the time comes."

Ichiro Ono had also made plans long ago, he would definitely not let go of the independent column, after all, the independent column on this battlefield had already destroyed a lot of his things, if it weren't for this independent man, he would have taken down the county town of Song County, the independent column in the county town, and the infantry regiment, would he still need to hide here every day from the attacks on the 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades?

So he also wanted to take this opportunity to capture the independent column...

Since the people from the 72nd Division and the Flying Unit are already on the way, he also wants to demonstrate his strength through this battle.

"Langtou Mountain is a good place. No wonder the commander keeps praising the 56th Division's commander, General Ono Ichiro. The location General Ono Ichiro chose this time is very good. It is suitable for an ambush. Moreover, after so many victories, this group of people from the Independent Column and the 32nd Division of the Central Army may be at a good time now. If the people from the 56th Division can lead the Independent Column and the 32nd Division of the Central Army to the Langtou Mountain area, we can then make a fool of them."

"With the strength of our 72nd Division, we can definitely cooperate with the 56th Division to kill these people from the 32nd Division and the independent column."

Yamano Kojiro nodded when he heard the chief of staff say this. This is what he hoped to see. His troops are very suitable for ambush. Especially when facing a tough opponent like the independent column, there is no other way except ambush. If you want to attack by force, you must fight against the independent column head-on. Without knowing the opponent's strength, it is impossible for the two sides to bombard each other.

And this is indeed a good method in the Langtou Mountain area...the Independent Column and the 32nd Division of the Central Army. At least it can ensure everyone's safety.

"Yes, yes, General Ichiro Ono's plan is quite good. I also agree that the Old Wolf Head Mountain area is very suitable for ambushes. We have been fighting on this battlefield for such a long time, and we must learn how to ambush. But this ambush cannot be at night. We will rest tonight. I asked the 56th Division to rest as well. The people in the independent column are not too excited. They will also rest and recuperate. All battles may be carried out tomorrow daytime."

"Let all the soldiers rest here for a while. We will set out at daybreak and immediately meet up with the 56th Division..."

"This time we will also avenge the people of the 56th Division and let these people of the independent column realize the true strength of our Imperial Japanese Army."
