In fact, it is no wonder that Ding Wei made such a judgment.

You should know that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese battalion is indeed extremely strong. A full-strength infantry battalion includes four infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, an artillery squadron, plus communications, supplies, logistics and other units. The entire battalion has a total of more than 700 rifles, 36 light machine guns, 36 grenade launchers, 12 heavy machine guns, four Type 81 mortars and two Type 92 infantry guns.

If a special mission is to be carried out, additional mountain artillery will be issued.

The combat effectiveness is imaginable.

Take the Yamazaki Battalion in the TV series as an example.

At the beginning, this elite Japanese battalion mistakenly entered the base, and the 386th Brigade sent several main attack regiments to surround it, with a total of about 10,000 troops.

It stands to reason that 10,000 people are against 1,000.

It should be easy to encircle and annihilate them, right?

No!

The fact is.

Facing the siege of the Eighth Route Army, the Yamazaki Battalion did not even think of retreating. Instead, they dug deep trenches and built bunkers on the spot. Relying on the advantage of the hilltop, they actually withstood the Eighth Route Army, which was ten times larger than their own.

It was not until Li Yunlong came up with the idea of ​​earthwork operations to continuously shorten the distance between the two sides that they finally annihilated them.

This is still the plot of the TV series.

If it were based on real history, the results would be even more sad.

The Eighth Route Army dispatched nearly 10,000 troops.

They launched several fierce offensives before and after.

But they still failed at the last moment and never managed to capture the enemy's position. In the end, they had no choice but to disband the encirclement and evacuate the place.

Somewhere.

Behind the earth slope.

At this time, Lu Zhixian and others had already ambushed here.

In addition to the soldiers of each company entering the bunkers and trenches on both sides, the artillery in the distance had also been in place.

But even so.

The whole battalion was still quite nervous.

After all, this was their first time facing a large group of Japanese devils!

Even Wei Dayong, who was always brave, was a little nervous at this time: "Battalion Commander! I heard that the Eighth Route Army besieged an infantry battalion before, and they sent out tens of thousands of people but failed to take it down in the end. With just these few people, can we really annihilate this elite group of Japanese devils?"

As soon as these words came out.

Most of the people also showed worried expressions.

"Don't worry!"

Lu Zhixian's expression was much calmer.

He glanced around and said slowly: "The combat effectiveness of the Japanese brigade is indeed extremely strong. Whether it is weapons and equipment or combat skills, it is far superior to most anti-Japanese armed forces. However, we also have advantages."

"What does the battalion commander mean?"

"First of all, we are now resting, while the Japanese are coming for long-distance support, and the latter will definitely not carry many heavy weapons;"

"Secondly, we have been prepared for a long time. Now each company occupies many advantageous terrains. In addition to sneak attacks and ambushes, there are no shelters on this road. How much combat power can the Japanese exert?"

"Finally and most importantly, compared with other armed forces, although we have fewer people, our firepower is fierce enough and we are fully capable of breaking their formation. As long as we form a strike advantage, victory will tilt towards us;"

"..."

"Well said by the battalion commander!"

Wei Dayong and others were instantly excited when they heard this.

Yes.

Everyone has a head on one shoulder.

Who said that with their combat effectiveness, they can't annihilate the Japanese brigade?

"Battalion Commander!"

Only Lei Zhan said with some worry: "Of course our brothers in the Anti-Japanese Camp will not be vague, but if the Japanese break through the other road, we will probably be attacked from both sides."

"It's okay."

Lu Zhixian waved his hand and said: "Since Ding Wei promised to hold on for half an hour, he will definitely do it! With our firepower, we can completely decide the outcome in half an hour!"

"Report!"

Just then, a signalman suddenly came in a hurry.

"Speak."

"The vanguard of the Japanese brigade has arrived three miles away, and it is estimated that they will enter the pocket formation in fifteen minutes."

"Very good!"

Lu Zhixian's face brightened slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Go back and tell Wu Baili to let all the Japanese in; wait for the attack here, and then he will completely close the entrance!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

The messenger quickly took the order.

Lu Zhixian glanced at everyone again and said solemnly: "Pass my order now, the whole battalion should be on alert immediately. When the Japanese enter the preset position, take my gunshot as a signal. Anyone who dares to make any noise before that will be subject to military law!"

"Yes, battalion commander!"

Everyone immediately shouted in a low voice.

...

Soon.

The Japanese brigade came towards the cavalry battalion.

On the road, a large-scale team was seen marching forward. All of them were wearing shit-yellow military uniforms and fart-curtain steel helmets. They were either holding Type 38 rifles or carrying various machine gun and artillery accessories.At the same time, everyone was equipped with a large amount of ammunition, and almost every person had two grenades. Moreover, after a long journey, the entire team was not in a mess at all.

The team was well-equipped and well-educated.

"Kawata-kun!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the middle of the team shouted loudly.

This man was the captain Miyamoto Masao.

Soon, the Japanese dressed as a staff officer rode close on horseback and bowed to him quickly, saying, "Greetings, Major!"

"How far is it from the Wanjia Town Cavalry Camp?"

"Less than seven miles."

"Are there any news from there?"

"No."

"Not yet?"

The captain Miyamoto Masao's face darkened.

Kawada shook his head and said, "According to the call from the Imperial Army in Wanjia Town, they have sent out several waves of scouts, but none of them have come back yet."

"Hmph! They are all a bunch of trash!"

Miyamoto Masao sneered and said with great disdain, "I will report to General Shinozuka when I return and I will definitely cancel the establishment of these Chinese people!"

"Major!"

Kawada was much calmer and reminded, "Although the combat effectiveness of these Chinese people is poor, our empire is short of manpower now, and we still need them to maintain the Jin Province. Public security, General Shinozuka probably won't agree. "

Miyamoto Masao still said with great contempt: "They can only deal with ordinary people. If they really encounter the enemy of the empire, they will be completely vulnerable. Now they haven't even discovered that the enemy has sneaked into their camp. It's really ridiculous. Humph! Well, this time I want to see who is so bold as to dare to sneak into the territory of my Miyamoto Battalion!"

"Major!"

Kawata quickly said after hearing this: "In my humble opinion, it must be the Eighth Route Army. They are obviously targeting the cavalry battalion because of their backward equipment. "

Miyamoto Masao nodded and sneered: "That's right! That group of Eighth Route Army has always been against our Imperial Army, and they always secretly destroy our logistics supply. Humph, but this time they don't have such a good opportunity. There are a total of three roads leading to the outside of the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. The group of Chinese troops has now blocked one road. When we and the Matsushita Squadron block the other two roads, we will definitely encircle and annihilate this group of Eighth Route Army!"

"Major Colonel is wise!"

Kawata immediately offered rainbow farts.

Miyamoto Masao said proudly: "Humph! This group of damned Eighth Route Army is unlucky today. You met my Miyamoto Battalion here. Today I will let you know that offending my Imperial Army-"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Before the voice fell.

Suddenly, many shells were bombarded from the distant hills.

Just a moment.

The entire team was hit by heavy bombardment, and the huge noise immediately spread throughout the mountains.

Miyamoto's expression suddenly changed at this moment.
