After the mission was given out, the entire independent mixed brigade immediately entered a state of combat readiness. Troops left the camp one by one.
The Japanese vanguard had already set off, and it was hard to say when they would arrive. They had to arrive at the predetermined combat position before the Japanese army arrived. There was no time to lose. They had to race against time!
"Quick, immediately build a defensive position according to the method I taught you. Remember…the trenches must be dug deep! It's okay to be tired now. When the battle comes, the deep trenches will be able to save your lives!”
"Also, after you dig the turf, you have to take it back and lay it out as a disguise. Dig the trenches into a V shape or a U shape. At the bottom, you have to dig a grenade trench to reduce the damage caused by the fragments and also to drain the water. Remember, you have to set up an elbow pad. This way, when you shoot, you can save your strength to the greatest extent. In battle, no physical strength can be wasted. The more strength you have, the more likely you will survive!”
"Newbies, this is your first time on the battlefield. I know you will be nervous, and I will be nervous too. Pay attention to your squad leader's commands, and…don't retreat on your own!”
"Whoever dares to retreat during the battle will be punished by military law!”
The 3rd Regiment Commander Liu Bingji urged the soldiers to build the trenches while loudly telling them some things to take note of.
"I told you, dig the trenches deeper. The Japanese can still shoot your scalp off in such a shallow trench!”
"Sandbags have to be piled around the foxhole and reinforced with earthworks. This is for the sake of your lives.”
" The trenches have been dug. We need to use shovels to reinforce them…"
"How many times have I told you, but you still made a mistake!”
……
The soldiers could differentiate between good and bad. They knew that although the regiment commander had been finding fault, it was all for their own good!
It was all for the sake of their lives!
On the battlefield, no small detail could be ignored. It was possible that this small mistake could be corrected now and save your life during the battle!
Just as Liu Bingji was commanding the battle, a soldier suddenly ran over to Liu Bingji, saluted, and shouted,"Regiment Commander, we received a telegram from the brigade headquarters. The Japanese's vanguard has passed through Lingyun Peak and is expected to arrive at Zhaojiayu in an hour and a half!”
"How's the situation with the first and second groups? Where are we now?"
"I understand. Continue to observe! If there's any situation, report it at any time!"
Liu Bingji nodded and said.
"Yes, sir!"
The warrior turned and left.
After the soldiers left, Liu Bingji shouted," Speed up. Build the fortifications within an hour. The cooks will start a fire and cook immediately…"
……
The Fourth Brigade had two regiments. After the Third Regiment was wiped out, only the Fifth Regiment was left.
The 24th Infantry Battalion was the vanguard of the 5th Regiment and the main force of the 4th Brigade.
As the main force of the entire exploration team, Captain Nobuo Yamada was usually very arrogant in front of the other captains. He was even very proud.
He was a standard old-fashioned soldier of the Japanese army. He believed in the spirit of Bushido and advocated personal strength. He especially respected fighting. Correspondingly, he was very disdainful of those so-called planes and tanks.
It could be said that he was very stubborn.
Personal strength was the most direct way to destroy everything!
Because of this thought, he was so arrogant that he thought he could take down an entire division of the Republic of China with just one brigade!
In his opinion, attacking the independent mixed brigade of the Chinese army was a very easy task!
He could not understand why the regiment commander would be so cautious about the Chinese army, whose fighting skills were almost unsightly. He would not hesitate to mobilize the entire exploration team and lead 7,000 people to attack. This was simply a waste of talent!
Even though he had already heard that the other party had 10,000 people, he was not sad at all!
"They are just ten thousand new recruits who have just joined the army. They are not even comparable to the regular army of the Chinese army. I'm afraid that as soon as the battle starts, we'll just fire a few shots and these Chinese people will be afraid and scatter!”
Thinking of this, Yamada Nobuo couldn't help but laugh out loud with an arrogant expression on his face.
At this moment, a second lieutenant from the Japanese ran over and shouted,""Commander, we have arrived at Lingyun Peak. The frontline reconnaissance team has discovered that there is a Chinese Army blocking unit in the Zhao Jiayu area. It is estimated that there is a regiment that is still an hour and a half away from us!”
"Oh? An entire regiment of China Army?" Hearing this, Yamada Nobuo was overjoyed and quickly said,""Order the troops to speed up and reach Zhao Jiayu within an hour to defeat this Chinese army!”
"Your Excellency, the enemy is a regiment. Should we slow down and wait for the main force to approach?”a captain said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Yamada Nobuo was instantly displeased and said in a deep voice,""What are you afraid of?"
"Do you think that those lowly peasants can defeat our great warriors? This is ridiculous!"
Yamada Nobuo said arrogantly.
