    "Insidious!! Insidious!!" Nagase shouted angrily.  "Send out the troops immediately and make sure to find these people."

    At this time, on a hillside a few kilometers away from Nagase, Xia Yang looked at the exploding village with a telescope and knew that the booby traps they had set up in the village had been detonated by the Japanese army.

    Although there is no one to defend them, if the Japanese army wants to occupy these villages and re-establish their positions there, the first thing they have to do is to get rid of the booby traps that Xia Yang and others have planted there.

    This alone is enough to hold them back for an hour or two.

    "Brigade, the Japs have sent a scout team over." Xiao Yuebing looked at the Japanese reconnaissance troops running out of the village and said to Xia Yang.

    "It's still the cavalry. Get in the car and start moving. Wait for the information from Hu San and the others. Once the information arrives, they will rush to the combat location." Xia Yang said, and got directly into the truck at the rear.

    At this time, in a mountain forest in the south of Yicheng, Hu San and several soldiers from the guard company were scouting the Japanese artillery position not far away.

    The Japanese army¡¯s brigades are generally equipped with specialized artillery teams.

    Xia Yang has always wanted an artillery battalion, but in the end he couldn't get it.

    There was nothing that could be done about it. The equipment level of the national army was there at that time. It was pretty good to be able to give Xia Yang a few mortars.  Moreover, Xia Yang had to find a way to deal with these mortar shells on his own.

    "Ten field guns, there are about a hundred people guarding this place. Two 92 heavy machine guns, four crooked light machine guns. There are also ten carriages used to haul ammunition boxes and mountain cannons." Hu San said.  , the guard company soldier beside him was recording.

    They compiled all the information about the Japanese army in the rear and reported it to Xia Yang.

    Finally, Xia Yang will make unified arrangements for the troops hidden in the mountains and forests.  Decide which troops will attack the Japanese army at that location.

    "The artillery position of the Japs is here. Let's attack here. The first regiment is concentrated on our flank. There is a cavalry unit of the Japs here. They will provide the fastest support here. When the time comes, the regiment can ambush the Japanese army.  Cavalry troops." Xia Yang pointed at the map and formulated corresponding tactics based on various intelligence provided by Hu San's guard company.

    He has a total of 3,000 men in his hands, and he uses the company as the basic combat unit of these 3,000 men.  Determine where each company will attack and what cover duties they should undertake.

    After planning all these, the fourth brigade began to take action.

    The places they attacked were not where the main force of the Japanese army was located. Most of them were transport troops or artillery positions.

    Because of his strong reconnaissance capabilities, Xia Yang was able to know many movements of the Japanese troops very well.  It was precisely because of this that he was able to let his troops go back and forth with the Japanese army in the hilly area south of Yicheng, and at the same time launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

    Xia Yang's leadership in communications gave Xia Yang an almost God-like perspective.  He could clearly understand the movements of the Japanese army, and he was able to control the troops under his command like a master.

    After receiving Xia Yang's order, the troops of the fourth brigade hidden in the hills and forests immediately began to take action and launched an attack on the target point mentioned by Xia Yang.

    Nagase, who had just sent out the scout troops, was startled by an explosion in the distance and walked out of the command room before he could take a sip of hot tea in the temporary command post.

    "What's going on? Where did the explosion sound come from?" Nagase said and looked in the direction of the sound.

    His staff officer observed with a telescope, and then said: "It seems to be the location of the field artillery position."

    As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the walkie-talkie over there rang.

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, our position was attacked by the enemy. They bombarded our field artillery position with mortars. We need support! We need support!"

    Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, Nagase immediately walked to the battle map, then took out a pencil, pointed at the artillery position and said: "Let the cavalry squadron support us immediately. They are the fastest. It only takes 20 minutes at most."  Able to reach the battlefield.¡±

    "Hai!"

    But as soon as he finished saying this, the walkie-talkie rang again.

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, our baggage troops were suddenly attacked by an enemy. The enemy's firepower was very fierce, and they also used flamethrowers, mortars and other weapons. We have suffered heavy losses now." It seems to be to verify that person.  ofThen, from the other end of the walkie-talkie, there was a continuous sound of mortar shell explosions.

    "The scout troops we sent out were also ambushed by the enemy." A staff officer said loudly at this time.

    Immediately afterwards, news of attacks one after another reached Nagase¡¯s ears.

    Listening to the news one after another, Nagase thought he had been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of national troops and was being attacked by enemies everywhere.

    After the initial panic, Nagase gradually calmed down.

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please send soldiers for support quickly!" his staff officer shouted, and there was the sound of bombing and intensive gunfire coming from the walkie-talkie.

    Nagase closed his eyes slightly, and then said: "No, this can't be the main force of the national army. They can't send so many troops to the battlefield at once. It's the fourth brigade! It must be as cunning as a fox.  The Fourth Brigade! They launched attacks on multiple locations of ours at the same time, trying to disrupt our deployment."

    If Xia Yang were here at this time, he would definitely praise Nagase without hesitation. This old devil has indeed rich combat experience and he could see through Xia Yang's tactics at once.

    "Then what should we do?" the staff officer asked.

    Although he said he had seen through Xia Yang's tactics, Nagase fell into another strange circle.

    That is, although I have seen through what you are doing, it seems that I have no good way to stop you.

    We can only send out a lot of troops to attack various areas that were attacked.  At the same time, search troops were sent to search for the troops of the fourth brigade and annihilate them one by one.

    Nagase was a little confused as he should have taken the initiative.  Why did Xia Yang suddenly take the initiative?

    At first, Xia Yang was stationed in these villages honestly, and Nagase attacked him however he wanted.

    But now it is different. Nagase has become the passive party to be beaten. He can only send troops to support wherever Xia Yang attacks them.

    This is like playing whack-a-mole. Nagase's troops must react and assemble quickly enough to successfully hit the "mole" of the Fourth Brigade.

    But once their troop support speed, or the speed of encirclement and suppression, slows down a little bit, he will have no way to hit the "gopher" in the head before the "gopher" hides in the forest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
