Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Qiantian-kun, you must understand that only when the Empire's large forces come in and trap the Independent Regiment here can the Empire slowly defeat this army."

"On the other hand, if we are too impatient, failure will be the only outcome that awaits us."

At this time, Kobayashi Ichisan was in a good mood and began to change his attitude towards being a teacher.

The several squadron leaders who heard his words secretly laughed bitterly. They were indeed afraid of being beaten...

However, since the brigade commander has already said this, it has basically set the tone for their attack, which is to delay time.

Colonel Chida left, taking with him more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers from his headquarters.

The 26th Division now has no so-called logistics troops. All the available reinforcements have been added to the infantry regiment. Almost all the transport team that came out this time have become Chinese civilians.

It was not only difficult for the 26th Division, but also for the 106th Division. When they were encircling the Eighth Route Army headquarters, their mountain and field artillery group was gone and their troops were greatly reduced.

Therefore, the people living near Laiyuan and Lingqiu suffered, and the young and middle-aged people were almost completely looted by the Japanese.

Gu Changfeng and Commander Yang had both received news of this before, but one of them was preparing for battle while the other was licking his wounds, so neither of them had any good way to deal with the Japanese's behavior...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaolin Yisan set up camp on the spot, not showing any sign of urgency.

In the distance, the reconnaissance team led by Xiao Wu himself had already approached the Japs. Seeing the Japs' posture, they were speechless.

Is this Japanese commander here to fight or for a picnic? It's only three o'clock and the sun is still in the sky. Is he ready to rest?

You know, there is a minefield a few kilometers ahead. Xiaowu is now hoping that the Japanese will step over the minefield so that he can blow up these bastards...

"Captain, it seems the Japanese are not planning to attack today. Should we wait until tonight to teach them a lesson?"

One of the team members asked confidently in a low voice.

Xiao Wu looked at him slyly for a moment before nodding and saying, "When night falls, we'll give the Japanese commander something fun."

Now that Zhao Ziqing is in the Japanese army camp, Xiao Wu, the deputy captain, naturally becomes the boss.

Hearing the captain say this, the team members were obviously amused, nodded and retreated.

As night fell, a bright moon quietly emerged from the clouds, illuminating the Japanese soldiers in the mountains and forests, giving them some light.

After the Japanese soldiers finished their meal, except for the team patrolling the periphery, everyone else sat outside the tent and chatted until late at night before going into the tent to rest.

At 3:30 in the morning, the Japanese security team also reduced the number of patrols.

After all, it was still the first month of the year, and the mountains and forests in Shanxi were still quite cold. Although the Japanese soldiers were dressed warmly, no one could stand having to do this every half an hour in sub-zero weather.

To the east of the Japanese camp, Ichiro Kojima's team had just finished their patrol and was sitting by the fire.

After a few minutes, the Japanese patrolmen finally warmed up a little and sat on the ground and started chatting.

The team leader, Ichiro Kojima, did not participate. Instead, he looked at the bright moon in the sky. He missed home...

His home is thousands of miles away in Nara, a romantic city with cherry blossoms everywhere.

Although it is still winter in his hometown, the falling snowflakes are still as beautiful as cherry blossoms.

Likewise, he missed Michi in his hometown, a girl whose smile was as bright as cherry blossoms in full bloom.

"Meizhi, after I have wiped out all the Chinese, I will definitely go home to marry you and stay by your side!"

Xiaodao prayed in his heart, but making a wish to the bright moon of China on the land of China usually did not work.

Ichiro Kojima was a corporal in the guard squadron. At night, he was in charge of the guard post from 2:00 to 4:00 in the morning, and his patrol area was only about 200 meters around.

There are five secret sentries around him. The positions of the secret sentries are usually arranged by their squadron leader himself, and even he doesn't know them.

Xiaodao didn't know that the five secret sentries had been sent back to their hometown by the team led by Xiaowu, and it was his team's turn next.

Cherry blossoms! Cherry blossoms!

In late spring, the sky is about to dawn,

The rays of light dazzled the eyes and smiled,

Thousands of miles long white clouds rise,

Let the beautiful fragrance drift in the wind.

Go see the flowers! Go see the flowers!

It’s better to see the flowers early.

Sakura, ah, cherry blossoms...

Xiaodao suddenly hummed his parents' "Sakura" tune, which, accompanied by the beautiful moonlight, made the Japanese soldiers feel homesick, and those who could sing started to sing along.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier's eyes were filled with fear. When he was about to shout, his neck was grabbed by a big hand and he lost consciousness in an instant.

Ichiro Kojima is unlucky, as he is Xiaowu's first target.

Before he could react, Xiaowu had already strangled his neck.

He gently placed it on the ground, then made a few gestures, and the team members immediately replaced the Japanese patrol team.

Xiaowu let go lightly, and the assault team immediately led the other team members forward.

Xiaowu's target at this time was actually the Japanese field artillery or baggage train, and he was not very interested in anything else.

Half an hour later, the special forces had discovered dozens of the Japanese's visible and hidden sentries.

Kobayashi Ichizo was indeed cautious, but unfortunately when he encountered the special forces of the independent regiment, they did not play by the rules at all.

After clearing the post, the Japanese army's rows of firepower were completely displayed in front of the special forces.

"Damn, there are so many cannons, but it's a pity they're not mine."

Xiaowu said regretfully.

The 26th Division's mountain and field artillery is not bad. There are more than guns in front of Xiaowu now. If he goes forward, there may be or guns.

"What are you still standing there for? Get started!" Xiao Wu suppressed his heartache and gave the order.

Following Xiaowu's order, the vanguards of the two special forces teams placed explosives next to the mountain cannon.

The fuse is set to one minute, which is enough time for the following team members to detonate it.

Five minutes later, the explosion came as expected.

boom!

Boom boom boom!

First, there was a loud bang that triggered a violent explosion, and then the explosion in the Japanese artillery group was triggered...

The noise was so loud that the entire Japanese brigade was alarmed, and Kobayashi Ichizo woke up from his sleep.

"Bagaya road!"

Kobayashi Ichizo's roar was not enough to change anything. It was just a means of venting. The battle on the front line did not reach his ears.

Half an hour later, the Japanese camp returned to calm and 13 artillery pieces were destroyed, which made the brigade commander Kobayashi Ichizo both surprised and helpless.

Facing the Independent Regiment, he felt bitter, but he didn't want it to end like this. Although he was afraid, he still wanted to fight openly.

He could continue to persevere, just like he did before at Huangtuling, even if it meant sacrificing everything, as long as the independent regiment suffered heavy casualties. Unfortunately, he was defeated again the second time...

"Baka, all the Chinese are dead!

Kobayashi Ichisan was furious. He originally wanted to keep a low profile and wait for the 106th Division to surround Gaojia Town, but now he didn't want to endure it anymore.
