Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 17
While Wang Xuexin and others were busy interrogating the prisoners and sorting out the captured equipment, the battle at Chenjia'ao started.

The first to hit was a reconnaissance platoon of our army. They were ordered to enter Chenjiaao to search.

It is normal for the chief to command this way based on the information he knows.

It is impossible to rashly withdraw the arsenal based on the information provided by a soldier!
Gotta figure it out first!
But this reconnaissance was a slap in the face.

Captain Yamazaki Sosuke, who commanded this unit, is a standard Japanese soldier who graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, a military academy that Japanese soldiers are proud of.

However, it is not only this experience and knowledge that made Yamazaki Aosuke promoted to major and captain, but also because of Yamazaki Aosuke's extraordinary ability of observation, judgment and analysis and decision-making.

For example, at this time, Yamazaki Aosuke knew that he was exposed when he saw a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers who came to scout in the telescope.

"We may have been fooled!" Yamazaki Aosuke put down his telescope and whispered to the chief of staff beside him.

"Major is saying that Fukuda's intelligence is wrong?" The staff officer didn't believe it, because Fukuda Masaichi was a trustworthy scout.

Yamazaki Canosuke shook his head and replied, "Although I don't know what's going on, but...they (the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance platoon) entered here without any hesitation, and went straight to our hideout to search!"

The staff officer raised his binoculars and looked at it. Sure enough, just like what Yamazaki Aosuke said, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were facing a formidable enemy, and they seemed to have long known that there was an enemy here.

"Then..." The staff officer hesitated: "Should we retreat?"

It’s no wonder that the staff said so. What Yamazaki Sosuke led was a brigade that was not full of staff, with no more than 1000 people (the full staff was more than 40 people), and it has traveled more than [-] miles since marching last night. , if this fights, it is likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the Eight Routes.

But Yamazaki Aosuke didn't say a word. He opened the map and looked at it, and then said:
"Hiraoka-kun, if Fukuda gets false information and tells us to wait here, it means that the enemy doesn't want us to move forward."

"Since the enemy doesn't want us to move forward, it means that we are probably going in the right direction!"

The staff officer was understood by the captain: "What does the captain mean, the location of the arsenal in front is likely to be true?"

Yamazaki Canosuke nodded slowly and said, "If the arsenal is real, does Hiraoka-kun still want to go back?"

The staff officer nodded firmly and said, "Subject to the arrangement of the major, we are ready to be loyal to the empire!"

In fact, they had no choice at all, and Yamazaki Aosuke had already made a decision for them in his heart.

Then Yamazaki Aosuke drew up an unreasonable battle plan.

When most commanders encounter this situation, they will order to annihilate the reconnaissance platoon of the Eighth Route Army in front of them and then rush out through the mountain pass.

Yamazaki Canosuke didn't think so, he pointed to the map and analyzed:
"The enemy must have set up an ambush on the mountain pass, and then sent a small force to carry out reconnaissance."

"If we break through the mountain pass, we will fall into the enemy's pre-set fire net."

"While it is still possible for us to rush out, it will cause unnecessary casualties and uncertain trouble."

"So, we should first occupy the high ground on the right, and then rely on the geographical advantage of the high ground to break through, and then go straight to the enemy's arsenal!"

"Yes!" The staff officer and the squadron leaders responded in unison in a low voice.

As soon as Yamazaki Aosuke waved his hand, they spread out to execute the order, and their movements were neat and tidy.

Yamazaki also boldly let the eight-way reconnaissance platoon behind him ignore it, and didn't even leave a squad for cover.

This practice is extremely dangerous to others, even if it is only a platoon of the enemy.

Because although the number of people in this platoon is not large, it may become a nail in the back and become the vanguard of the attack on both sides.

But Yamazaki Aosuke didn't take it to heart.

This is his trust in the combat effectiveness of his own army, and it can also be said to be contempt for the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

Yamazaki believes that once the battle begins, his troops will be able to take out a platoon behind them with precision and speed, so they won't cause too much trouble for themselves.

On the contrary, keeping them can create an illusion for the eighth-way commander... The reconnaissance platoon goes deep into the woods without fighting and no gunfire, indicating that the enemy has not yet been contacted or there is no enemy at all, so the deployment of troops will not be changed. Even let down our guard.

Yamazaki Aosuke's tactic really worked.

The two commanders of our new first regiment and new second regiment had an emergency meeting before the battle. They agreed that once the war started, the devils would definitely rush out from the mountain pass, so they set up an ambush at the front and rear mountain passes respectively.

And because there was no gunfire, the subsequent reinforcements continued to pile up at the mountain pass, and only one battalion of more than 300 people was sent to seize the mountain.

Ding Wei, the head of the new regiment, kept an eye out. He personally crossed the mountain pass to the front line to observe the enemy's situation.

As a result, it was observed in the telescope that the trees deep in the woods swayed strangely, and they were still moving away from the reconnaissance platoon.

Ding Wei immediately understood that the devil was playing tricks. Without a word, he took out the box cannon at his waist and fired two shots in the direction of the devil.

These two shots are not intended to hit the enemy.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army's communication equipment was extremely backward. If time was racing against time to contact the New Second Regiment on the radio and clarify the situation, the devils would have already rushed to the top of the mountain.

These two shots are telling everyone that there is an enemy, it would be better if they could pick the devil to fight back.

Sure enough, a few shots of "bang bang" rang out, and two bullets flew past Ding Wei's ear.

Ding Wei slapped his waist, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Good guy, it's more than 400 meters, and I'm still hiding in the grass, and the devils can still fight pretty close.

As soon as the gunshots rang, the new second regiment immediately knew the location of the devils and realized that the situation was wrong, so they hurriedly sent reinforcements to the mountain.

But it was too late, Yamazaki Sosuke took the devil and charged towards the mountain with the fastest speed.

After a burst of gunshots and explosions, I broke through the unsteady mountaintop position within ten minutes.

Then the devils did not stop, and immediately divided into several parts to cover each other and attacked down by taking advantage of the geographical advantage.

This situation was immediately passed on to the headquarters, and the chief slapped the table angrily, causing the water glasses on the table to jump up:
"Two regiments can't surround a group of devils when they are prepared?"

"How did they fight?!"

The staff officer who answered the phone explained:
"Sir, the devils are equipped with many grenade launchers, which have a lot of firepower."

"Our equipment was originally poor, and the machine guns were knocked off one by one by the grenade... This is too much!"

The chief frowned upon hearing this.

He has been dealing with the devil for so many years, and of course he knows the power of the devil's grenade launcher.

But in front of the devil is the military arsenal!

So the chief gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Put the independent regiment up!"

"At all costs, I must kill this devil!"

"Order Zhang Wanhe to transfer immediately!"
