Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

"It seems that the information we got is wrong!" Xue Yue put down the telescope, "Just from the Japanese bombardment, I guess that the Japanese artillery force is at least two regiments."

Yu Hua nodded aside: "I agree with Commander-in-Chief Xue, judging from the size of the 106th Division's camp and the amount of artillery fire from the other side."

"The Japanese 106th Division has definitely strengthened its troops. Otherwise, the little Japanese would not have dispatched two regiments of artillery to attack us just now."

Since the estimate of the strength of the Japanese 106th Division was wrong, the generals on the scene began to ponder whether the decoy plan for tonight's battle should be implemented.

After a while, Sun Zhen was the first to speak: "Tonight, let's attack the Japanese army first. After all, the Japanese army has increased in strength and we do not have the advantage in terms of the number of artillery fire."

Xue Yue nodded: "I agree!"

Immediately, everyone looked at Chen Cheng. Chen Cixiu held the telescope in his hand and said softly: "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Follow your decision. I have already said that I am here to watch the battle. You are responsible for all command on the battlefield. I am only responsible for watching."

With Chen Cixiu's words, Yu Hua immediately ordered the cancellation of the encirclement and annihilation plan to induce a regiment of the Japanese 106th Division. Each division dispatched a small group of troops to carry out mortars to bombard the Japanese camp.

The harassment war will begin tonight, specifically to disturb the Japanese and not allow them to sleep peacefully.

After receiving the news, several division commanders and brigade commanders of the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army were somewhat dissatisfied, but they resolutely implemented the battle plan.

Each division has sent out special operations battalions. The special operations battalions are the elite among the elite of the Sichuan Army. They can go deep behind enemy lines and perform some difficult tasks.

The Japanese 106th Division, division commander Matsuura Junrokuro, had been waiting for the Sichuan Army's artillery counterattack, but time passed minute by minute.

The large-scale artillery fire of the Sichuan Army did not fall on the Japanese artillery position, which made the old devil Matsuura Junrokuro frown: "Baga?!"

"What's wrong with the Sichuan Army? This doesn't look like their fighting style at all!"

Intelligence staff officer Rakuzo Sakurai said: "Your Excellency, division commander, I propose that the troops strengthen their vigilance and that soldiers sleep with their guns on them and never take off their uniforms."

"The Sichuan army will definitely come again tonight. They usually like to engage in these dirty tricks and don't dare to face the imperial army in a decisive battle."

"Yo Xi!" Junrokuro Matsuura nodded: "Just do what Staff Officer Sakurai Hazo said."

night!

Liu Changqing's independent brigade, the Special Operations Battalion Company, successfully reached outside the camp of a Japanese brigade. The soldiers of the Special Operations Battalion carried mortars on their shoulders and carried shell boxes.

First company commander Liu Dazhi said softly: "Brothers, hurry up and set up the mortar for me!"

"Every action should be smooth. It's our Sichuan Army's old rule, fire five shells, see the effect and then run away."

"Yes!" Many Sichuan soldiers began to assemble mortars.

"Company commander, get ready!" The mortars were assembled quickly, and the artillerymen expressed that it was ready.

"Okay!" Captain Liu nodded: "Listen to my command, fire five rounds quickly, prepare!"

"put!!--"

In an instant, a "bang bang bang" sound was heard in the sky, and the shells fired by the mortars made a sharp sound of airflow.

"Boom, boom!"

A huge explosion sounded in the Japanese camp. Soon, several other teams also succeeded, and countless mortars fired at the 106th Division.

For a time, the little devil's camp was in a state of chaos.

Countless little Japs ran towards the hiding position of the Sichuan Army squad with Type 38 rifles. At the same time, Japanese mortars and Type 92 infantry artillery also began to fire at the Sichuan Army squad.

Company Commander Liu and the others ran away as soon as they succeeded in the attack. However, the Japs were prepared and counterattacked with mortars and Type 92 infantry artillery. Some Sichuan soldiers still died in the shelling.

When the division commander Junroku Matsuura learned that the Sichuan Army had sent a detachment to attack and that hundreds of imperial warriors had been killed, he was so angry that he yelled, "Baga!"

However, fortunately, the Japanese army was well prepared and counterattacked immediately, killing about a hundred Sichuan troops, which made Matsuura Junrokuro feel a little better.

In the next few days, Yu Hua also arranged for small groups of troops to conduct sneak attacks. Since he learned that the Japanese army was prepared. Yu Hua sent out fewer small groups, and did not take the initiative to penetrate into the Japanese camp. He only fired one shot at a time, not seeking results, but just to prevent the little Japanese from sleeping peacefully.

Three consecutive days of harassment have made the old devil Matsuura Junrokuro's dark circles even more serious.

At the same time, the soldiers in the army are becoming more and more manic. They have been wandering in the mountains these days and have lost their way;

The supplies of the 106th Division were out of supply and became less and less as they were used. Moreover, they were harassed by the Sichuan Army at night and could not sleep peacefully. There were no pretty girls in the mountains, and many soldiers had no way to vent their manic emotions.

Throughout the division, there have been several incidents of fights between soldiers.

Matsuura Junrokuro also sent a message to the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Neiji.

Navy and Army aviation were requested to provide reconnaissance and determine the exact location of the 106th Division.

Now the 106th Division needs to leave the mountainous area as soon as possible, otherwise Junroku Matsuura is a little worried that the soldiers of the entire division will become furious!

Night fell again, covering the sky like a big black net.

At the headquarters of the Sichuan Army's 22nd Army, Chen Cheng looked at everyone with a smile.

"Everyone, our reinforcements are here, the two artillery regiments of the troops directly under the theater have arrived, and the heavy artillery unit has also arrived."

"The 91st Division, the 187th Division, and the 6th Reserve Division have also arrived. We can now fight!"

Inside the headquarters, the division commanders of the Sichuan Army also laughed. They didn't fight before because the 106th Division had more troops and stronger artillery fire. Now the ninth theater has increased its troops and artillery fire.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division is finally about to begin!

十分钟之后，第91师、第187师、预备第6师，第4军麾下的第59、90、102师，第74军麾下的第51、58师，几支部队的长官也都来到了作战会议室。

On the Sichuan Army side, the Independent Brigade of the Sichuan-Kanglan Appeasement Office, brigade commander Liu Changqing, the 122nd Division, the 124th Division, the 127th Division, the 123rd Division, and the 125th Division;

A new independent group was formed, headed by Bai Changsheng. The new 144th Division, commander Guo Xunqi, the new 145th Division, commander Rao Guohua.

A total of 15 division commanders participated in the meeting. Together with an independent brigade and an independent regiment, the total strength of the infantry was 16.

In continuous battles, no matter it is the Sichuan Army, the Central Army, or the Guangdong Army, there is no time to replenish troops.

Chen Cheng asked Sun Zhen: "Old Sun, please send a message to Fan Haer quickly and ask where his 88th Army is. We will encircle and annihilate the 106th Division this time, and the 88th Army will act as a reserve force."

"I heard that Lao Fan's 88th Army, although it is the same army number, its strength is fucking greater than one army."

Sun Zhen picked up the water cup and took a sip: "Last time the power was turned on, Lao Fan said that the two divisions of the vanguard could reach Wanjialing in three days at most. I estimate that it will only take these two days."

"Let's attack the 106th Division first tonight!"

"Okay!" Chen Cheng nodded. Since two divisions of the 88th Army are coming, there is no rush.

Subsequently, Adjutant Yu of the 22nd Army announced the combat plan.

The Japanese 106th Division has completely penetrated into the Wanjialing area, with hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding the three lines of Wanjialing.

The 74th Army and the 4th Army, as well as the 187th Division, 122nd Division, and 124th Division, surrounded the east of the Japanese 106th Division.

The 127th Division, the 123rd Division, the 125th Division, the 91st Division, and the 6th Reserve Division surrounded the west of the Japanese 106th Division.

There are arcs surrounding the 106th Division on both the east and west sides. The remaining two divisions, the independent brigade, and the independent regiment temporarily serve as reserve forces, ready to enter the battlefield at any time.

As the order was issued, the commanders of each unit expressed that they would complete the combat mission.

At this time, the division commander of the 106th Division, Matsuura Junrokuro, was looking at the starry sky. Tonight, he felt vaguely uneasy.

"Division Commander!"

Intelligence staff officer Sakurai Rakuzo came to Matsuura Junrokuro and handed Matsuura Junrokuro a message.

"Baga!" Old Japanese Matsuura roared angrily, then threw the message to the ground and stepped on it several times. (End of chapter)
