"Brothers! I originally wanted to wait for you to train for a while more before going out to carry out the mission, but last night! Right before our eyes, the enemy sent a special forces unit to attack the He County Brigade Command Center! The brigade commander was seriously injured, and more than forty of his comrades had died! Brothers, our independent battalion is the defensive battalion outside the brigade headquarters. If we just watch them pass by us and go straight to the brigade headquarters, the devils are slapping our independent battalion in the face! Tell me! What should we do?" Zhang Duo asked loudly.
"Yes! Revenge! Since the devils don't think that our independent battalion exists, we have to go out and take a look! Tell the Japanese that our independent battalion is not to be trifled with!”After Zhang Duo finished speaking, he began to issue orders.
First, First Company and Second Company would immediately advance into Xin County. At the same time, Third Company would be responsible for blocking the possible arrival of the Japanese reinforcements. After Third Company blocked the Japanese reinforcements, Fourth Company would immediately surround them and create a pincer attack for the Japanese reinforcements. Assault Company would be on standby at any time to launch a surprise attack on the middle of the Japanese reinforcements!
Zhang Duo's order was quickly passed to the companies, and nearly five thousand men started to move. The independent battalion's move naturally caused a big chain reaction. Lin County, which was closest to the independent battalion, quickly went on guard. Due to Zhang Duo's threat last time, the Japanese did not send more troops to Lin County, afraid of provoking Zhang Duo. Now that the independent battalion suddenly made such a big move, Lin County, as the first to bear the brunt, became nervous.
Just as the ghost soldiers in Lin County were ready to write their wills to their families, a piece of news came. The ghost soldiers and puppet soldiers in Lin County heaved a sigh of relief. According to the intelligence, the independent battalion did not come to Lin County, but marched north.
Initially, the soldiers of Xin County were only prepared to provide support at any time. Just as they were casually joking about how Lin County would definitely be under fire again, a piece of news came, causing all the soldiers of Xin County to become nervous.
"Mr. Oda! Not good, the independent battalion is advancing towards Xin County at a very fast speed. They will arrive in about two hours!”
"What is it? Isn't the Independent Battalion marching towards Lin County? Why are they suddenly coming towards us?”Oda asked.
"Yes, sir!"
Oda couldn't sleep. If the Independent Battalion attacked them, Xin County would not be able to stop them. Xin County was the transit point of the Japanese in Jin Province. It was of great strategic and practical significance. If the Independent Battalion took it down, Oda could only die to atone for his sins.
No! Oda stopped in his tracks and decided to immediately ask for help from Taiyuan Headquarters. If Xin County was lost, not only would Oda be humiliated, but the entire Oda family would also be humiliated.
"Sir, I don't think we should think about why the Independent Battalion is attacking Xin County. We should immediately send reinforcements to Xin County."
" But, I just don't understand what Zhang Duo is trying to do. What strategic significance does attacking Xin County have for him?" Shinzuka Inami frowned.
"Your Excellency, Zhang Duo's way of doing things is often unexpected. Just like last time, he attacked Lin County to threaten us not to send more troops to Lin County to reduce the pressure on the Independent Battalion. In the eyes of the Wei Nation Imperial Army, this is shameful and cowardly, but the facts have proven that we have given the Independent Battalion time to develop. According to our latest intelligence, the Independent Battalion currently has more than 5,000 people, and they are undergoing intensive training every day. I'm afraid he'll be our nemesis in the future!”
"Yoshi," Shinozuka Enami nodded and said,""What you said makes sense. Since the Independent Battalion is a threat to us, we have to nip the threat in the bud. The Independent Battalion attacking Xin County is also bringing themselves into the heart of our army! Good! Pass on my order, order all the Imperial Army soldiers near Xin County to immediately approach Xin County. We must annihilate the independent battalion there!”
"Yes, sir!"
While Shinan Shinzuka was deploying his troops to annihilate the independent battalion, Oda, who was guarding Xin County, was already drenched in cold sweat.
In front of his eyes, under the illumination of the searchlights, there was a row of things shining coldly outside the dark city. It was an eyesore.
All the soldiers on the city wall knew what it was. It was the Independent Battalion. The mortar positions had been set up, which meant that their defensive turrets had been taken down by the Independent Battalion.
"Yes, sir!"
"Prepare the mortars!"
"Mr. Oda!" When the Japanese soldiers standing on the city wall saw the actions of the independent battalion soldiers below, they immediately understood what the independent battalion wanted to do. Oda hurriedly said,"Everyone, hide immediately!"
"Release!"
The top of the city wall was instantly enveloped in flames, and the sound of artillery shells streaked across the sky. The civilians in the city had already retreated to the center of the city, and the soldiers had no way to retreat. Some of the artillery shells flew over the top of the city wall and landed directly on the fortifications guarding the entrance of the city gate!
"Bastard! Damn the Eighth Route Army! Men! Immediately ask Taiyuan City for help!"
"Release!"
"Boom!"
The independent battalion's attack on Xin County naturally caused quite a commotion. The Japanese troops quickly advanced towards Xin County. There were three roads to Xin County, but only one of them was the easiest and shortest. All the Japanese reinforcements chose this road. When they were only an hour away from Xin County, the feet of the Japanese soldiers at the front suddenly lit up, and more than ten of them were blown to the ground at the same time.
The commander of the Japanese soldiers shouted. Immediately after, he saw nearly five heavy machine guns on both sides of the road open fire at the same time. The bullets landed on the Japanese soldiers 'position like rays of light.
The Japanese reinforcements were blocked. Just as the Japanese were trying to break through the blockade of the independent camp, a military vehicle stopped not far from the same city under the cover of the night.
" Battalion Commander, we have 40 minutes," Li Yunfei said as he looked at his watch. Zhang Duo nodded and ordered everyone to get off immediately. Tonight, except for Zhang Duo, everyone was wearing a black suit, just like the black-clothed swordsman in Wuxia novels.
"Alright, everyone listen to my orders. In a while, we will kill the devils guarding the gate. Remember, don't make any noise, understand?”
"Yes, sir!"
