Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Akino waited for almost an hour but still did not receive a telegram from Shindo Mingtai, so he asked someone to send another telegram to inquire.

After waiting for almost an hour, Zhang Dabiao finally received the Japanese telegram.

He didn't know what the Japanese's battle plan was, so he didn't reply to them. He could only wait for the Japanese to send another telegram.

Now it seems that his choice was correct.

The content of the telegram was asking why they had not yet arrived at the designated location. Zhang Dabiao thought for a moment and said to Erzhuzi, "Just tell him that the team has just arrived and we can start the operation."

"Yes!"

the other side.

Ming Jingye received the telegram and had a brief moment of doubt after reading its contents.

Because this is a bit too coincidental.

But it was only a fleeting suspicion.

He didn't believe that the radio station of Captain Shindo Myota would fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and even if it was seized by the Eighth Route Army, it would be impossible to decipher it without the code book.

Some even believed that apart from the headquarters, the rest of the Eighth Route Army's command centers would not have anyone who knew how to use a radio.

Therefore, after receiving the intelligence, Ming Jingye immediately ordered the operation and sent a telegram to the 7th Brigade.

The Japanese troops advanced in stages and soon appeared in the wilderness through the woods.

In order to reach the hillside on the flank of Xiaowangzhuang, the Japanese had to pass through this unobstructed open space.

On the hillside, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the appearance of the Japanese. Their first reaction was not nervousness, but joy.

At least from their perspective, they no longer have to stay on the mountain and watch the show.

The news quickly reached the command post. Kong Jie put down his chopsticks and rushed out in one step.

Li Yunlong also left with them.

This made Lin Qiang very puzzled.

Li Yunlong, who has always been addicted to alcohol, would actually give up this opportunity to drink?

Something is wrong, fifteen out of ten things are wrong!

Ding Wei also put down his chopsticks and said he wanted to go see the situation on the battlefield.

On the front battlefield, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were fighting with the remaining Japanese soldiers. If they wanted to end the battle, they only needed one round of artillery fire.

But in order to trick the Japanese, this scene had to continue.

In a camp more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield, Kawashita Hide smiled after receiving the telegram from Akino.

"Yoshi, Mingjing-kun has already started to act. This battle will be over soon, and we can start the real action!"

"Send a telegram to Taiyuan Headquarters, telling His Excellency the Commander that everything is going smoothly and that he should be ready to act at any time!"

"Hi Yi!"

Chuan Xiaxiu walked out of the tent, looked towards Xiaowangzhuang, and said confidently: "Now, let's prepare for the final battle!"

Every move of the Japanese troops was under surveillance, and any movement of Kawashita Hide would be heard by Lin Qiang as soon as possible.

Knowing that the Japanese army was ready for battle, Lin Qiang was not willing to lag behind and ordered the tanks and armored vehicles to be ready for battle.

In addition, the DShK anti-aircraft machine guns deployed on both wings were temporarily used as artillery, aimed horizontally at the invading Japanese.

At this moment, dark clouds gradually appeared in the originally clear sky, slowly blocking the sun's brilliance.

Such a scene reminded Lin Qiang of the storm coming from the mountains and the dark clouds pressing down on the city, which was about to be destroyed.

These two lines, from different poems, perfectly describe the scene at this moment.

Now is not the time to lament the wisdom of the ancients. Worried that the New Second Regiment would suffer, Lin Qiang specially asked the First Company of the Independent Battalion to go and help.

All members of the company are equipped with assault rifles, and their powerful firepower is enough to make the Japanese unable to raise their heads.

With the assistance of grenade launchers and mortars, this firepower configuration is more than enough to defeat a Japanese regiment.

In addition, the deployment of the Japanese artillery was also figured out. Once the fighting started, the artillery would be the primary bombing target.

However, the first battle to break out was not on the flank, but in the direction of the base.

After some confirmation, we found out that it was a squadron of Japanese devils who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the base in the rear.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Qiang sneered. It was simply a dream to think that one could attack the base with just a squadron of devils.

The base's defense deployment had been instructed by several military experts. Not to mention the Japanese, even if Lin Qiang knew every defense point, he would not dare to say that he could break in with just a squadron of troops.

Not to mention that there are special forces to assist in the defense of the base, and many women have undergone a long period of light training. Now, if they pick up a rifle, they can also be a brave and combat-ready Eighth Route Army soldier!

Lin Qiang and guard Wei Heshang were the only two people in the command post. Seeing that the other was already ravenous, Lin Qiang said with a smile, "Why are you still standing there? Sit down and have a drink to warm yourself up."

"Hehehe, then I won't be polite."

Lin Qiang rolled his eyes at the monk and thought to himself, when have you ever been polite, kid?

After drinking three bowls of Fenjiu, the monk didn't eat a single bite of food.

Seeing that he was about to drink the fourth bowl, Lin Qiang quickly stopped him: "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk just by drinking?"

"Commander, you know how much I can drink. Even three or two bottles of this Fenjiu won't get me drunk!"

"That's not OK."

Lin Qiang pointed outside and said, "Go, get some branches to use as chopsticks."

Unexpectedly, the monk picked up the chopsticks Lin Qiang had used and said with a chuckle, "I won't go. What if I come back and you've hidden all the wine?"

Hearing the monk say this, Lin Qiang suddenly remembered that during this period of time, his wine supply had inexplicably decreased.

So he asked the monk, "Monk, tell me the truth, did you drink my wine?"

"hey-hey."

When Lin Qiang saw the monk smile, he knew it was this guy who did it.

As the monk ate, he said, "Captain, I was drinking openly, how can you say I was stealing?"

"Where did you learn that, kid? Huh?"

"I learned it from you, Battalion Commander."

The monk looked up at Lin Qiang and said with a smile, "Every time we robbed the enemy's supplies, you said it wasn't robbing, it was seizing."

have to.

The bullet that Lin Qiang shot out at the beginning now hit himself.

"After eating, let's go see what the leader is doing."

"Yes!"

……

On the battlefield.

Under the faith and shooting of the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, some of the remaining Japanese troops were able to escape.

The purpose was to let these devils go back and report the firepower situation of the Eighth Route Army, and further lure the large devil force into the trap.

On the flank, Kong Jie's New Second Regiment also engaged in a firefight with the Japanese. As soon as the gunshots rang out, they opened fire at full power.

Mortars, grenade launchers, DShKs, infantry guns, etc., all fired at the Japanese soldiers of the 9th Brigade.

With Lin Qiang as a backup, Kong Jie ordered that anyone who fired slowly should retreat and serve as infantry.

Because of this order, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment used the mortars as if they were fully automatic artillery, firing shells one after another without stopping.

The powerful firepower on the flank made Kawashita Hide mistakenly believe that the independent battalion had focused all its attention there, and at this moment the front battlefield must be in a state of lack of firepower.

So he ordered another battalion of troops from the 9th Brigade to be sent out, and the remaining troops entered the battlefield in batches.

Due to the terrain, it was impossible to send out all the troops at the same time, so Kawashita Hide could only use this method to fight.

At this point in the battle, the Japanese believed that the independent battalion's howitzers had been withdrawn, so they launched a full-scale attack.

After Lin Qiang learned of this situation, he immediately contacted the artillery position and waited until the entire Japanese force was within range before opening fire.

Tanks and armored vehicles are also ready and can give the Japanese a little shock at any time.
