Lin Shaowei smiled and said: "Go back and tell your brigade commander, I, Lin Shaowei, do not need him to teach me how to fight. Jiaxiang County is ahead of us. If the Japanese army really has an ambush, then our 178th Brigade does not need to be afraid at all. We can break through That¡¯s their defense.¡±
But Hu San pointed to the large forest not far in front of them, and then said: "If the Japanese army has armored troops hidden in that forest and attacks our team from there, we may not even have the power to fight back. .Master, please be careful!"
But Lin Shaowei waved his hand to him, indicating that he should return to the rear of the army.
Seeing this, Hu San said nothing more and returned to the rear with his soldiers.
The distance between Xia Yang's troops and Lin Shaowei's main troops is about three kilometers.
But when Xia Yang advanced here, he signaled his troops to slow down and prepare for battle.
Then he sent a small group of troops to conduct a large-scale reconnaissance of the woods ahead. Once the enemy was discovered, he would report to him immediately.
In the outskirts of Jiaxiang County, in addition to large tracts of fertile farmland, there are also acres and acres of forests.
Although it is still winter and all the leaves in these woods have fallen off, with the dense trees, if the Japanese army hides in the depths of the woods and does not send out special reconnaissance troops, they will still be unable to find traces of the Japanese army.
It is precisely because of such hidden dangers that Xia Yang asked the troops to slow down their advance. If they advanced rashly, they would probably be ambushed by the Japanese troops.
Although he disliked Lin Shaowei a little, Xia Yang still asked Hu San to tell Lin Shaowei the news. As for whether Lin Shaowei listened to his advice or not, that was his own business.
At this time, on both sides of the advancing route of the 178th Division, in the deep woods, groups of Japanese soldiers wearing camouflage clothes woven from grass leaves were lying under a gentle slope filled with fallen leaves.
"Behind this Japanese army were seven or eight Japanese tanks, also covered by leaves.
Because this is at the bottom of a gentle slope, looking towards the woods from both sides of the road, it is impossible to spot the Japanese tanks here.
Behind the tank is the Japanese mortar squad. They had aimed their mortars at that road.
"The enemy's reinforcements have entered the ambush circle, requesting whether to attack." A Japanese squadron leader asked his superiors through the intercom.
¡°It¡¯s just that unlike the walkie-talkies that Xia Yang and others deliberately carried with them, the walkie-talkies used by the Japanese army at this time also needed to be carried on the body. They were huge and inconvenient to carry.
"Waiting for the aviation force, this time we will give this supporting Chinese army a devastating blow!" The voice over there was none other than the division commander of the 10th Division, Rensuke Isotani.
He had previously learned from the information from the Special High School that a Chinese army was coming from Peixian County to support Jiaxiang County.
So Isoya Rensuke did not hesitate to mobilize more than 5,000 Japanese troops to ambush the 178th Division who came to support here.
The troops led by Lin Shaowei are walking on a broad road.
There are fertile fields on both sides of the road and stretches of forest. It is extremely quiet at this time. Only the faint sound of wind came from the fields and woods.
Lin Shaowei looked at the bare trees and said to himself that even if the Japanese army were ambushing in the woods, they didn't have to be afraid.
The drainage ditches on both sides of the road are dug by farmers to divert water for irrigation and to drain away accumulated water in the fields. If the Japanese troops rush out from the forests on both sides, they can use these ditches as temporary trenches to confront the Japanese ambush troops.
By then, the Third Group Army in Jiaxiang County will send out another unit to fight out from the flanks and rear of the Japanese army, which will definitely be able to deal a blow to the ambushed Japanese army.
Just as he was thinking this, a "buzzing" sound came from the distant sky.
"What's the sound?" His guard captain raised his head strangely and looked at the sky in the distance.
But he couldn¡¯t see anything there. He just felt that the voice seemed familiar, but for a while he couldn¡¯t remember where he heard it.
And at this moment, in the clouds above their heads, the Japanese dive bombers began to break through the obstacles of the clouds and dive towards them!
"Japanese bombers! Hidden!!!" Lin Shaowei shouted loudly and jumped out of the jeep he was riding in.
Seeing the Japanese bombers, the soldiers of the 178th Division reacted very quickly and rushed towards the road.Jump into the ditch on the side.
But as soon as they jumped into the ditch, there were bursts of explosions.
There were actually many landmines planted by the Japanese army in the ditch. The first batch of soldiers who jumped into the ditch were immediately killed and injured by these mines.
Lin Shaowei, who originally wanted to jump in, stopped immediately when he saw this scene, lay down on the spot, pulled the body of a national soldier who was killed in the bombing, and covered him with it.
As the sound of the Japanese bomber engine became more and more harsh, aerial bombs poured from the magazine of the Japanese bomber into the soldiers of the 178th Division.
¡°Boom!!!!¡±
The violent explosion, like thunder from the sky, echoed across the wilderness in an instant.
"Fire!" The Japanese troops hiding in the woods opened fire on the soldiers of the 178th Division on the road when the aviation regiment began bombing.
Their tanks quickly drove up the gentle slope, aimed their guns at the national troops on the road, and fired wildly while driving forward.
At the same time, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars all opened fire at the same time.
For a time, mortar shells and machine gun bullets almost formed a line, all pouring onto the road.
Soldiers of the 178th Division jumped into the trenches on both sides of the road and began to fire at the woods on both sides.
Xia Yang, three kilometers away, looked into the distance with a telescope.
The Japanese bombers had begun to rise. When the powerful aerial bombs exploded, huge clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up, almost turning the sky ahead into a charred black color.
A thunderous sound echoed across the vast wilderness.
Because they were at the rear of the main force, Xia Yang and his fourth brigade did not enter the Japanese ambush circle, but were outside the Japanese ambush circle.
Since the Japanese army did not want to let the main force of the 178th Division pass through this area, they chose to fire directly and ignored Xia Yang's fourth brigade.
In the view of the Japanese commander, Xia Yang's more than two thousand people did not pose much of a threat to them.
"The little devils even dispatched bombers. They prepared an ambush in advance. They want to eat the 178th Division!" He Changxing said next to him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
