" Kakaka!" The low sound of boots hitting the ground echoed in the mountains and spread far away. The soldiers of the 17th Infantry Regiment marched forward in an orderly manner under the leadership of their commander.
The Japanese troops left Lingyuan City one after another. Assistant Minister Tanaka, who was sitting in the command vehicle, watched the soldiers outside. These people didn't know who they were going to face. They were still immersed in the dream of the northeast army that had chased after them.
"Don't worry, Tanaka-kun. My 17th Infantry Regiment is very powerful. We will definitely be able to defeat those cunning Northeastern soldiers.”Nishida Shotaro said in a deep voice. Looking at the nervous Tanaka, Nishida Shotaro felt a little disgusted. Wasn't the Northeast Army just a good-for-nothing young commander? A team that would fall apart at the touch of a finger? Even if he was an elite of the Northeast Army, how much combat power could he have?
"Yes! I hope so." Tanaka nodded and said. He also hoped to defeat the terrifying Northeast Army this time. Was there really a problem with his command that led to such a huge defeat?
The Japanese army arrived at Liuzhangzi Town very smoothly. They were only 20 miles away from the Yangshuling ambush position set up by Hong Lang. Near noon, the Japanese military command stopped at Liuzhangzi and prepared to have lunch before continuing to Pingquan.
How could the anxious Tanaka Shinjichi be waiting here for a meal? He found Nishida Shotaro, who was about to eat." Nishida, the soldiers in Pingquan County are in an emergency. Perhaps they will fall during this meal. Please send the army to continue advancing."”
"Bang!" Nishida Kotaro threw the bowl of rice in his hand onto the table in front of him." If it could be lost, it would have been lost long ago. I don't think the Northeastern Army can take Pingquan City at all. Also, Tanaka-kun, you have to believe that the soldiers of the 32nd Infantry Regiment won't surrender if you hold on to the strong fortifications.”
" You..." Assistant Minister Tanaka was so angry that his eyes turned red. However, he had to lower his head under the eaves. He could only suppress his anger and say humbly," Your Excellency, I hope to get a squadron of troops to go to Pingquan County immediately. It will also be a powerful support for the city defense troops. Your Excellency, you can lead the troops to support us from behind."”
Looking at Tanaka, Nishida Shoutarou didn't want to go too far. They still had to get along in the future. "Alright, I'll give you a squadron to save your Pingquan County.”
"Thank you very much." Assistant Minister Tanaka immediately bowed and turned to leave.
After Tanaka's troops left Liu Zhangzi, they quickly arrived at the mountain path of Poplar Ridge. Looking at the hills on both sides, Tanaka felt a little scared. This was a good place for an ambush. If the Northeast Army occupied this place, they would all be finished.
However, Tanaka Shinji, who was concerned about Hiraizumi, did not arrange for soldiers to scout the area. Instead, he led his troops through the valley and headed straight for Hiraizumi County.
"Commander, the Japanese have passed through the valley and left our ambush zone.”The commander of the 2nd Battalion, Fan Fei, walked to Hong Lang's side and reported.
"It looks like the number of people in a squadron. This is not the main force of the Japanese army.”The Chief of Staff of the Independent Regiment, Lu Chong, observed for a while with binoculars and said," The big fish of the Japanese is still behind us.”
Hong Lang also thought so. If the Japanese army decided to rescue Pingquan County, they would definitely not let a squadron rescue them. It looked like this was just an advance guard force. "Tell the commanders below that this is only the vanguard of the Japanese army. No one is allowed to shoot without permission. If they alarm the Japanese army, they will be punished by military law.”
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment had been trained, and there was no panic in their eyes. They had already mastered the performance of the weapons in their hands. They also believed that the brutal Japanese were no match for them.
The sun gradually moved westward from the center of the sky. The main force of the 17th Infantry Regiment, which was resting in Liuzhangzi Town, began to enter the East Mountain Pass of Yangshuling Mountain Road. They did not investigate and directly entered the mountain road, trampling on the land of Rehe.
These Japanese had no morals at all. They were just a group of fierce beasts in their bones. They only knew how to occupy and occupy everything that others had.
On the mountain path, it was a dark mass, and one could not see the end of it at all. The large number of people, coupled with the narrow mountain road, made it seem like the Japanese army had filled the entire mountain road from Nanshan to Beishan.
"Damn, why are there so many Japanese? It seemed that the Japanese were really anxious this time.”Fan Fei, the commander of the second battalion, saw the number of Japanese soldiers and immediately said in surprise.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment hiding in the camp also became nervous. The Japanese soldiers below were so closely arranged that they were even more confident.
"Commander, there are probably 3,000 Japanese soldiers below.”Lu Chong, the Chief of Staff of the Independent Regiment, said worriedly. Now, the number of enemies was one to ten. Such a huge difference in numbers would cause a huge disadvantage on the battlefield.
"Don't worry, everyone. We can win this battle because we have confidence in our soldiers and weapons!”Hong Lang didn't mind, still in a relaxed state.
