Sakata United's 3,000 men were lined up in an orderly formation as they approached.
Nobutetsu Sakata rode on the horse and observed the situation in front of him with binoculars. He frowned and said,"We have to speed up. Tuba is very cunning, and this is their base.”
"Once they receive the news, they will definitely escape at the first possible moment. The faster we arrive, the greater the results of our battle.”
" We'll reach the Ashen Cloud Ridge if we keep walking forward," said Assistant Secretary Urato." After crossing the Ashen Cloud Ridge, we'll only be twenty miles away from our destination."”
"With the speed of the imperial army, they can reach their destination before dark.”
"Ouch!"
Sakata United Team nodded slightly.
At this moment, a soldier from the Japanese army arrived on horseback and shouted,""Commander, the Imperial Army's vanguard was ambushed near the Gray Cloud Ridge and all of them were killed.”
"Nani?"
Nobutetsu Sakata couldn't help but frown and curse,""What happened?"
"Commander, please calm down. The enemy is lying in ambush at the Gray Cloud Ridge!" The Japanese officer quickly said.”
"Commander, it seems that the enemy has already noticed something," said Lieutenant General Uratomo hurriedly.”
"There must be a main force of the enemy lying in ambush at the Gray Cloud Ridge. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to wipe out the Imperial Army's Blade Squad so easily.”
" I didn't expect these despicable Tubo people to have such a keen sense of smell." Nobutetsu Sakata frowned and said," I didn't expect them to notice the Imperial Army's intentions so quickly."”
" This is their base," said Lieutenant General Urato." Their eyes are everywhere. We have so many troops moving, it's impossible to hide from them."”
Nobutetsu Sakata frowned and said,"But I didn't expect them to arrive at the Gray Cloud Ridge so quickly."'
"Logically speaking, their troops in the nearby area should have been pinned down by the Liyuan Regiment. How could they have rushed to the Gray Cloud Ridge to set up an ambush?”
" I don't know," Uratomo shook his head." Maybe there are guards near their office."”
"Or rather, with such a dangerous terrain like the Gray Cloud Ridge, the enemy had originally stationed their troops here to defend.”
"No matter what, according to the current situation, they definitely don't have too many troops in the Ashen Cloud Ridge.”
"Also, what if we don't go through the Gray Cloud Ridge and take another route?”
"Then we'll have to make a detour of 70 to 80 miles. I'm afraid we'll have to waste an extra day."”
"Perhaps all the dirt would have run away in just one day," said Sakata Shingtsu angrily.”
"Moreover, if we take other routes, we might also be blocked by the enemy.”
"Ha Yi!"
"Commander, you are wise," said Lieutenant General Pu You respectfully."The Gray Cloud Ridge is the nearest route.”
"It's just that we don't know how many soldiers they have in the Gray Cloud Ridge. We can't estimate how long it will take to break through their defenses.”
Nobutetsu Sakata said seriously,""We have no other choice now. We have to reach our destination as soon as possible. Otherwise, this operation will fail completely. At that time, even the brigade leader won't be able to bear the responsibility.”
"Immediately pass down the order. The troops will quickly head to the Gray Cloud Ridge and immediately launch an attack on the Gray Cloud Ridge. We must strive to eliminate the enemies of the Gray Cloud Ridge in the shortest time possible.”
"Ha Yi!"
" Understood!" Lieutenant General Uratomo replied respectfully and immediately passed down the order.
Following Nobutetsu Sakata's order, the Sakata United Team increased their speed and rushed towards the Ashen Cloud Ridge.
Li Yun Long stood on the main peak of the Gray Cloud Ridge, looking at the dust rising in the distance, frowning slightly.
"This Sakata United team is really fast. If only we had a little more time.”
"At present, only half of our troops have arrived at the Gray Cloud Ridge. Moreover, the artillery unit and a large number of weapons and ammunition have not been transported over yet."”
"After all, the journey is too long, and the artillery and supply troops are carrying too much weight. The marching speed will inevitably be a little slow.”
Li Yunlong said helplessly," There's nothing we can do about it. I don't think the Japanese will waste any time. They will definitely attack as soon as possible."”
"Pass down my order. Have the soldiers prepare for battle.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Dabiao quickly responded and turned around to convey the order.
Li Yunlong was still a little worried about this battle. The main force of the Japanese had already arrived.
A portion of the new regiment was still on their way.
The Sakata United Army's military strength had already far exceeded the new army's. This caused the gap between the two sides to become even greater.
However, the Japanese had also traveled a long way. At this moment, the Japanese were not in their peak condition.
With a tired army against a tired army of the Japanese, a fierce battle was inevitable.
The only thing Li Yun Long could do now was to fight with all his might and defend the Gray Cloud Ridge.
"Regiment Commander, the Japanese are attacking!”
Hearing this, Li Yunlong rushed to the observation point and raised his binoculars.
Sure enough, they saw a group of Japanese soldiers in battle formation advancing towards the Gray Cloud Ridge.
Li Yunlong observed carefully and sneered,""The Japanese only sent out a squadron of troops. I think their troops haven't fully spread out yet, and they can't wait to launch an attack.”
"Sending out only one squadron is nothing more than a probing attack.”
"Captain, what should we do?" Zhang Dabiao asked quickly.”
Please urge me to change it.
