Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

On the road leading to Lijiazhuang from Ping'an County.

A group of aggressive Japanese troops appeared quietly. They were the Pingye Battalion that set out from Ping'an County.

The Japanese soldiers marched in a mighty procession on the dusty road.

The Japanese captain Hirano Ichimu rode a majestic war horse and walked in the center of the team.

In order to completely eliminate the county brigade of Lijiazhuang, Pingye Ichimu immediately summoned his subordinates after arriving in Ping'an City and studied the intelligence of the Ping'an County Brigade in detail.

Hirano Ichimu was full of confidence in his Hirano Brigade. He believed that his brigade could quickly eliminate the county brigade.

Therefore, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning just fills the earth,

He had already gathered his troops and led them to Lijiazhuang.

The sun gradually rose higher, and the scorching sunlight mercilessly sprinkled on the earth.

Hirano was riding on a horse, looking at the road ahead.

He turned his head slightly and said to the Japanese adjutant next to him: "Where are we now? How far are we from Lijiazhuang?"

The adjutant replied respectfully: "Captain, we are now near Wangjia Village. We expect to reach Lijia Village in more than an hour."

After hearing this, Hirano Kazuki's eyes flashed with excitement.

He tightly grasped the saber in his hand and ordered loudly: "Yoshi! Order the troops to advance at full speed and rush to Lijiazhuang as soon as possible to capture the county brigade and find the stolen supplies!"

"Hi!"

The adjutant then turned around and delivered the order.

As Hirano's order was issued, the Japanese troops' marching pace accelerated significantly.

They were getting closer and closer to the sand slope.

at the same time,

On the high ground of Shazipo, the county brigade led by Gaoda had quietly arrived and quickly set up an ambush position.

Shazipo has a dangerous terrain and a wide view. Shazipo is the only way for the Japanese devils.

The soldiers quickly dug shelters and built simple shooting fortifications.

Gaoda led Li Dazhu's artillery company and carefully set up artillery positions on the back of the hillside.

The soldiers lined up their cannons and pointed their muzzles at the road.

Next to the artillery position, hundreds of boxes of special "gifts" - poison gas bombs - were neatly stacked.

These poison gas bombs were carefully packaged in boxes, each box containing three poison gas bombs, totaling an astonishing 300 rounds.

These poison gas bombs were a "surprise" specially prepared by the county brigade for the Hirano brigade, which was enough to make this Japanese army suffer.

Gundam gave Li Dazhu an order:

"Dazhu, when the Japanese enter the ambush circle, you will immediately open fire and fire all the poison gas bombs. Let them have a taste of our power!"

"Yes, Captain!" Li Dazhu replied.

After arranging the artillery's tasks, Gundam quickly trotted back to the ambush position.

"Old Li, have the soldiers deployed according to the plan?"

"No problem, Lao Gao."

"The soldiers are already in their respective positions."

Gundam looked around and saw that the soldiers were lying on the hillside, ready for battle.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Old Li, we must be more cautious in this battle."

"We used poison gas bombs. Before the poison gas dissipates, we cannot act rashly, let alone launch a charge like we did last time."

"Lao Gao, don't worry."

"I know the horror of poison gas bombs. I will wait for the best time to launch the charge."

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Gaoda's worries were slightly relieved.

He turned to Li Dakang beside him and said, "Captain Dakang, come with me."

He pointed in the direction of the intersection in front of Shazipo.

"We led the soldiers of the third and fourth companies to set up an ambush there. Once the Japanese soldiers enter the encirclement and are attacked by poison gas bombs, they will most likely run back in panic. Our mission is to block their retreat and ensure that they have nowhere to escape."

"Yes, Captain!"

Li Dakang immediately turned around to gather the soldiers from the third and fourth companies.

The soldiers acted quickly, organized their equipment, adjusted their formation, and prepared to head to the main road entrance in Shazipo.

Gaoda and Li Dakang led the soldiers of the third and fourth companies and quickly went to the back of the hillside at the entrance of Shazipo Road and set up a strict ambush.

They hid in the dense bushes, only showing their vigilant eyes, staring at the road ahead.

"Captain, so much time has passed, why haven't the Japanese arrived yet?"

Li Dakang gently raised the pocket watch in his hand and asked in a low voice.

Gaoda replied: "Dakang, you don't have to worry. I don't think the Japanese will choose any other route to Lijiazhuang.

Only this road was their best route. Other roads were rugged mountain roads, and the artillery and other heavy weapons they carried could not pass at all.

Moreover, without the guidance of local people, they would only get lost if they took the mountain road. If I were the commander of the Japanese, I would also choose this road. "

After hearing Gaoda's analysis, Li Dakang nodded in agreement, and the doubts in his heart immediately dissipated.

At this moment, the soldier who was scouting the road ahead hurried back.

He quickly ran to Gaoda and said, "Captain! We have found the Japanese troops! They are marching towards Shazipo, only 2 kilometers away from us!"

Gundam heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news from the investigator.

He was originally worried that the Japanese would bypass Shazipo and choose another route, but it seemed that the Japanese did not change their route.

"Captain, the Japs are finally here. We have been waiting for them."

"Captain Dakang, pass the order down and have all soldiers immediately enter combat mode and prepare to welcome the arrival of the Japanese."

After hearing this, Li Dakang immediately turned around and trotted off to convey the order.

He quickly shuttled between the soldiers, conveying Gundam's orders.

When the soldiers heard the news that the Japanese were approaching, they stopped what they were doing and began to carefully check their weapons.

Time passed slowly, about ten minutes passed.

Under the gaze of Gundam and all the soldiers, the Japanese army finally appeared in their sight in a mighty manner.

This army, consisting of more than 1500 Japanese devils, was marching quickly on the road.

They advanced without any precautions, never imagining that a county brigade was waiting for them on this seemingly peaceful road.

When the Japanese army entered Shazipo, Li Yunlong had clearly seen that they had entered the ambush circle.

He gripped his weapon tightly in his hand and looked at the Japanese troops on the road.

The soldiers from the first and second companies also gripped their weapons tightly, ready to attack at any time.

They were waiting for Li Yunlong to give the order to attack.

At the artillery position, Li Dazhu also saw the Japanese entering the encirclement.
