Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

After Hirahara Ichiro returned to the army, he immediately reported to the brigade commander Yamamoto Tatsuyama that Yamamoto Kazuki, leading the special forces, had successfully captured the Central Army's forward checkpoint.

After hearing the whole battle process, Yamamoto Tatsuyama's eyes widened. He didn't expect Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces team to have such extraordinary abilities.

"Sodersler!" Shan Yuandashan praised: "It seems that I still underestimate Yamamoto-kun's strength."

Sonoda Meiling said from the side: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we still cannot underestimate the power of the special forces!"

"As the saying goes, people can stumble even when walking. Even if Yamamoto-kun's special forces team fails in one battle, its combat effectiveness cannot be fully negated."

"Miss Reiko, you are right!" Shan Yuandashan responded and immediately gave an order to his adjutant: "Order the artillery troops to move forward immediately and set up artillery positions."

"In three ten minutes, I will launch a full-scale attack on the Central Army's position!!"

"Hi!" Shan Yuandashan's adjutant nodded and bowed before leaving.

At the forward checkpoint of the Central Army, Yamamoto took a look at the positions deployed by the Central Army. He found that the strength of the Central Army was mainly concentrated on the front and sides.

There was no alert force for the cliff at the rear. When Yamamoto saw this scene, his mind became active. What if he led a special force to sneak behind the Central Army and overthrow its headquarters.

This will inevitably cause chaos in the central army's command system, allowing the imperial army to defeat the enemy in one go and capture these two highlands.

Now, Yamamoto feels that he should guard this checkpoint first and wait for the imperial army to arrive.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese troops launched an artillery bombardment on the Central Army position on time.

The Shanyuan Dashan Brigade has strengthened its artillery configuration. It not only has mountain cannons and field artillery, but also large-caliber howitzers, especially 150 mm heavy artillery. The Shan Yuandashan Brigade also has them.

However, this time within the artillery unit, only the mountain artillery was ready, and the field artillery and howitzers had also arrived.

Therefore, the Japanese army's 24 75mm mountain guns launched artillery fire on the Central Army's positions.

780 high ground!
Wang Yaowu and Feng Shengfa, as well as Li Zhengxian and Li Wen, the four of them didn't look very good either.

The Japanese army suddenly bombarded them without any warning. The sudden blow made them feel a little heavy.

"Is the phone line at the forward checkpoint connected?"

Li Zhengxian shouted loudly!
On this high ground, his fortifications have not been completely renovated. Now facing the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army, many trenches collapsed directly.

Fortunately, Li Zhengxian did not deploy too many troops on the front-line fortifications, otherwise they would all become living targets for the Japanese army.

"Report to the division commander, the phone has been unreachable."

After hearing this, Wang Yaowu said: "[-]% of the forward checkpoints have been taken down by the Japanese army. Being able to kill the forward checkpoints without anyone noticing shows that the Japanese army's reconnaissance force is very good."

"No shots were fired at the checkpoints. These Japanese soldiers are not simple!"

The silent Feng Shengfa immediately said: "Everyone, do you still remember what happened to us in Xiaowangzhuang before?"

"Adjutant Luo mentioned to us that a group of well-equipped Japanese troops put on our military uniforms and prepared to attack the Sichuan army."

"This group of Japanese troops had good combat capabilities. They caused a lot of casualties to the Sichuan army and even escaped."

Li Wen nodded, "Not bad!"

"I think Lao Feng is right. This time our forward checkpoint was killed by the Japanese army, and [-]% of it was done by this group of Japanese soldiers."

"At that time, Adjutant Luo said that the Sichuan Army's special operations battalion soldiers were only one out of ten, but only a dozen of the special operations members of a strengthened company were beaten by the Japanese army and survived."

"The combat effectiveness of this group of Japanese soldiers has far exceeded that of ordinary Japanese troops. We must pay attention to it." "Who cares about the special operations team!" Wang Yaowu was very angry. "In front of me, if he comes, I will still use machine guns. Stung him."

Feng Shengfa said: "It's better for us to be careful and notify the guards to strengthen patrols around the area in case of any eventuality!"

Inside the command post, everyone discussed for a while and decided to strengthen the security of the command post.

The Japanese artillery fire stopped. Li Zheng knew first that after the Japanese artillery fire stopped, the Japanese infantry would come up next. He asked the front-line troops to prepare.

Although according to the Japanese infantry drill, the Japs generally camp at night and do not fight!
However, this is an extraordinary moment, because the Sixth Division is surrounded by the Sichuan Army, and the independent mixed brigade must rescue it.

Shan Yuandashan put down the telescope in his hand and sent an infantry brigade to conduct a probing attack.

The Japanese infantry began a tentative attack, and the troops of Li Zhengxian and Wang Yaowu also launched fire counterattacks.

Yamamoto Kazuki came to the brigade headquarters, "Your Excellency, brigade commander!"

Now that the battle has begun, there are no seniors in the army. Yamamoto Kazuki can only call Yamamoto Tatsuyama as the brigade commander.

"Oh...it turns out to be Yamamoto-kun!" Shan Yuandashan responded coldly: "Nowadays, the war is busy. Yamamoto-kun, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I have to hurry up and deal with military affairs."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!" Yamamoto certainly knew the subtext of Shan Yuandashan: "I want to lead a special force to raid the headquarters of the Central Army."

"The Central Army has tens of thousands of troops?" Shan Yuandashan glanced at Yamamoto Kazuki jokingly: "Yamamoto-kun, you only have a dozen people in your special team. With this number of people, can you defeat the opponent's tens of thousands of people?!"

"Captain of the brigade, I, Yamamoto Kazuki, naturally know that there are tens of thousands of people on the other side, but I don't have such a big appetite to eat so many people on the other side!"

"But!" Yamamoto's face became ferocious: "I am still interested in the fact that I can lead a special force team to climb up the cliff, raid the Central Army's headquarters, and knock out their command system."

At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki was like a bloodthirsty beast. His eyes were gleaming with light. He raided the enemy's headquarters and caused chaos in the Central Army's command system. This was Yamamoto Kazuki's choice to avenge himself.

He wants to tell everyone through this battle that his special forces team is still relatively powerful.

The muscles all over Yamamoto Kazuki's body are now constantly knitted, like a tiger about to kill its prey. His penetrating eyes frightened some timid Japanese officers in the brigade headquarters.

"Yamamoto-kun?" Seeing Yamamoto Kazuki's strong fighting spirit, Yamamoto Tatsuyama asked: "Can you guarantee that you will find the headquarters of the Central Army?"

"Yes!" Kazuki Yamamoto responded decisively: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, look here!"

Yamamoto Tatsuyama raised his telescope and looked in the direction of Yamamoto Kazuki's finger.

"Commander of the brigade, there must be a headquarters of the Central Army behind the cliff of this peak."

"You give me a small team of warriors, and I will lead the special forces team to climb up from behind the cliff. The imperial army will increase its attack intensity on the front and flanks to attract enemy firepower."

On the side, Sonoda Mirei, after hearing Yamamoto Kazuki's plan, also said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I think Yamamoto-kun's plan is feasible."

"The Central Army on the opposite side can be seen from the probing firepower of the brigade just now. This army is Chang Kaishen's elite."

"Normally, our imperial army only needs to use infantry to make a tentative attack and then artillery bombardment. If we do this several times, the opponent will definitely collapse."

"However, although the enemy's position is now being plowed by the imperial army's artillery fire, the defenders are still holding on to their posts. The opponent even counterattacks with 75mm mountain artillery."

After Shan Yuandashan thought for a moment, he realized that the combat effectiveness of the Central Army in front of him was not bad. Although their fortifications were a bit crude, their fighting will had not collapsed.

The task given to him by Central China is to respond to the Sixth Division as soon as possible, and he cannot be delayed here for too long. (End of chapter)
