Just as Li Yunlong and Takahashi Matayoshi noticed each other.
In the direction of Phoenix Ridge.
The Japanese 21st Brigade, Yoshino United, had been forced to march for an hour and a half.
They had already arrived at the bottom of Phoenix Ridge.
Yoshino Nakahei wanted to avenge his old friend, so he moved very quickly. He followed the troops to Phoenix Ridge as soon as possible.
Phoenix Ridge was located at the top of the mountain. The entire area was barren. Yoshino Nakahei could see the fortifications built by the 357th Regiment on the mountain without looking around.
In the distance, Ding Wei, who was in a new group, found traces of the Japanese with his binoculars.
"Oh my god, this is a group of Japanese, right?”
The deputy commander nodded and said,""Looking at this scale, it should be a group of Japanese soldiers.”
Ding Wei carefully sized up Yoshino United.
"It's not the B grade troops of the Japanese. It's the A grade troops. Their combat boots and the cannons behind the vehicles can tell. With so many Japanese, I think the 357th Regiment is in trouble!”
Ding Wei immediately put down his binoculars and said," Messenger, go to the 357th Regiment's position on the other side and inform them to retreat if they can't hold on. The Japanese have a regiment of troops. It's not embarrassing if they can't beat them!”
"Yes, sir!"
At the main position of Phoenix Ridge, Yu Yang was looking down at the Yoshino Regiment with his binoculars.
"A group of Japanese soldiers really think highly of our 1st Battalion!”
After saying that, he took out a cigarette and lit it for himself. He did not take the Japanese team to heart. His goal had never been the Japanese team, but the entire Japanese exploration team.
"Brothers, keep an eye on the Japanese. I'm going to smoke a cigarette first. Don't be in a hurry to shoot. Let's fire a little more before we shoot. I reckon that this group of Japanese will not even be able to cover us with artillery fire later. They want to take down our position with a charge and let the Japanese have a taste of our 357th Regiment!”
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion were all clone soldiers rewarded by Yu Zhiqian for being promoted to acting commander.
It was also the largest battalion in the entire 357th Regiment.
Because the 1st Company had been merged into the 1st Battalion, the entire 1st Battalion was considered a reinforced company with close to 1,000 people.
In terms of firepower, it was also the fiercest battalion in the entire 357th Regiment.
Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, their firepower was definitely far more ferocious than Yoshino's.
Yoshino United Team below.
Regiment Commander Yoshino Nakahei observed Phoenix Ridge with binoculars. At the mountainside of Phoenix Ridge, Regiment 357 had built a position. Judging from the size of the position, there should be about 1,000 defenders.
However, the soldiers were all hiding behind cover. Other than a few observers, no one showed their heads, so they did not know the firepower configuration.
However, Yoshino Nakahei keenly noticed some details. The position of the Jinsui Army opposite him should have been built not long ago and should not be stable at this time.
"Inform the First and Second Infantry Battalion to charge at Phoenix Ridge immediately after they are assembled.”
The staff officer beside him looked at Yoshino Nakahei and said,""Your Excellency, do we carry out reconnaissance before attacking and then launch an attack after the artillery fire covers the area?”
Yoshino Nakahei put down his binoculars and said," The enemy's position is just hastily built. We can take advantage of the time when the enemy is not stable to launch a fierce attack. We can directly take down the position!"”
"If we scout with fire, then cover with artillery fire, and then charge, the enemy will gradually stabilize their position. We may need to attack many times before we can take down the enemy's position, which will waste more time!”
Yoshino Nakahei could see his advisor's worry and continued,""Moreover, our enemy is the 357th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army. This unit was defeated by the Sakata United Army in the Battle of the Gray Cloud Ridge not long ago. How many soldiers could this regiment replenish? How much combat power can it have?"
After hearing Yoshino Nakahei's words, the staff officer nodded. It would indeed take a lot of time to rebuild a regiment after it was almost completely destroyed.
If that was the case, then there would be no problem in launching a charge directly. It could even end the battle quickly!
"Moreover, our mission is to support Li Jiapo. We don't have to waste too much time here.”
"Ha Yi!" The advisor immediately nodded.”
Soon, the first and second infantry units of the Yoshino Regiment had assembled. The two infantry units, with over a thousand Japanese soldiers, charged towards the 357th Regiment's position in Phoenix Ridge.
"The Japanese are attacking, Regiment Commander!"
At the new regiment's position, the deputy regiment commander reminded Ding Wei.
Ding Wei immediately popped his head out of the trench and looked in the direction of Phoenix Ridge with his binoculars.
"The Japanese launched a large-scale attack directly without even using firepower reconnaissance and artillery coverage?”
" Not only that," the deputy commander nodded." The Japanese's cannons are still in the car."”
Ding Wei looked over. As expected, the devil soldiers were gathering at the foot of Phoenix Ridge. The devil soldiers 'mountain cannons were still in the car.
"This group of devils is going to suffer a big loss. There's going to be a good show!”
Ding Wei immediately smiled. He had been worried that the 357th Regiment would not be able to withstand the Japanese's attack.
However, he had just seen with his own eyes how many light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and heavy artillery were deployed at the 357th Regiment's position.
If these devils had used their firepower to scout, they might have been able to avoid a large number of losses. However, they were now using a concentrated wave of attacks.
In Ding Wei's opinion, taking down the 357th Regiment's position in one go was suicide.
Yu Zhiqian had already received the news when the Japanese attacked the 357th Regiment.
"Order Yu Yang to beat them up until they feel pain. It would be best if the 21st Brigade of the Japanese were to gather at the bottom of Phoenix Ridge!”
"Order Liu Hongliu of the armored battalion to stay put and wait until the main forces of the 21st Japanese Brigade arrive near Phoenix Ridge before launching an attack. I want the 21st Japanese Brigade to stay in Phoenix Ridge forever!”
"Yes, sir!"
