Zhang Lingyun stared at the sand table and sneered,""I don't care about 30,000 Japanese.”
"Pass down my order. The cavalry unit and Xu Hu's 6th regiment will stay behind at Zhang Yuan. The rest of the troops will immediately gather and set off for Xuanhua.”
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Shengli quickly replied and then ordered someone to convey the order.
After that, Zhang Lingyun personally led the main force out of Zhangyuan City and headed straight for Xuanhua to meet up with the 1st regiment.
At the same time, the dung beetle was leading the main force of the 5th division and the independent 1st mixed regiment along the Pingsui railway towards Xuanhua.
As the vanguard, the one who arrived at Xuanhua was the commander of the 5th Division's 9th Brigade, the 11th Infantry Regiment, Commander Yuichiro.
"Sir colonel, we have discovered an enemy position ahead.”
Nagano Yuichiro then went up to a high ground at the side. He raised his binoculars and looked ahead. He could vaguely see the Chinese army building a line of defense based on the terrain advantage. He could also vaguely see the Chinese soldiers on the line, still busy building fortifications.
Nagano Yuichiro frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying,"Immediately send out a large group and launch a probing attack to test the strength of the enemy.”
"Ha Yi!" A Japanese officer beside him quickly responded and turned around to relay the order.
Nagano Yuichiro then ordered,"Immediately send a telegram to the Regiment Commander. Tell him that our troops have arrived near Xuanhua and are in contact with the enemy.”
"Ha Yi!" A Japanese officer beside him quickly responded and turned around to send a telegram.
……
"Guild Leader! The Japanese are attacking!"
When Zhang Dabiao heard this, he quickly raised his binoculars and looked into the distance.
As expected, a group of Japanese soldiers carefully approached them with their bayonet in their hands. These Japanese soldiers were in a loose formation, and they were in a battle formation as they slowly pressed forward.
"Captain, there's one over there too!"
Zhang Dabiao observed carefully and found that the Japanese had attacked three of their positions at the same time, but only 400 to 500 Japanese were sent.
It was obvious that this was just a probing attack by the Japanese!
"Humph!"
" Hmph!" Zhang Dabiao snorted coldly." The main force of the Japanese has not arrived yet. This is just their vanguard. They are just testing the waters."”
"Then should we teach these Japanese a lesson?" asked an officer beside him with a smile.”
Zhang Dabiao sneered and said," Then let these Japanese people see how powerful we are. Tell them to beat them up when they get close!"”
"You don't have to save your ammunition for me, just fight to the death and let these damn Japanese see how powerful we are.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Dabiao's order was quickly passed down, and the soldiers in each camp were ready for battle.
When the Japanese approached, the soldiers raised their guns and fired.
Gunshots rang out, and bullets rained down on the Japanese.
The Japanese were caught off guard and were swept to the ground one after another. There were many casualties. The Japanese had never seen such fierce firepower before. They did not dare to hesitate and immediately retreated in fear.
However, the Japanese had lost more than a hundred people in just one contact. This was because they had deliberately arranged their formation loosely. Otherwise, the losses would have been even greater.
Nagano Yuichiro was dumbfounded as he watched from behind. He said in surprise,"Is…is this really the Chinese army? Since when did they have such fierce firepower?”
The Japanese beside him were also shocked. No one could answer his question.
After a long time, Nagano Yuichiro finally reacted and said,"We've fought with the Chinese army before, and we've even fought with their so-called elite middle force. However, compared to this army, it's like the difference between heaven and earth.”
"Commander, the enemy's firepower is very fierce. It's even far stronger than the Imperial Army's."”
Nagano Yuichiro nodded slightly and said,"I finally understand why Mr. Noobie Nakajo was defeated. This Chinese army is indeed extraordinary.”
"If I'm not wrong, this should be a secret trump card unit of China. They are well-equipped and have very strong combat strength!”
"I didn't expect these Chinese to secretly build such a force. The Imperial Army actually knew nothing about it.”
"When will the Regiment Commander arrive?”
"According to the schedule, the Regiment Commander will arrive at the front line in at most an hour.”
Nagano Yuichiro nodded and said,"Order the troops to set up fortifications. When the major general arrives, I will personally report to him and ask him to make a decision.”
"Ha Yi!"
