    As the troops originally stationed in the Taibai Mountain area, most of their forces were transferred to participate in the battle in the Wutai Mountain area. Only one reinforced battalion remained in the ancient city of Mengyuan.

    After the mobilization was over, the various units began to quietly move towards the Japanese positions.

    The Japanese troops stationed on several highlands did not have as advanced night vision equipment as Xia Yang and others, so they could only determine the situation below the hillside by launching flares.

    The Japanese army¡¯s flares would be fired approximately every ten minutes to ensure that no one would raid their position.

    Their combat literacy is very high. In addition to flares, they also set up minefields and overlapping barbed wires under the hillside.  These things can be very effective in preventing enemy surprise attacks.

    Time passed bit by bit, and as a red signal flare took off, two regiments of the Eighth Route Army and the Second Guard Regiment launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army at the same time.

    They launched simultaneous raids from four directions on the four highlands where the Japanese troops were stationed.  During their raid, the artillery fire from the rear artillery regiment began to violently bombard the rear of the Japanese army and the Longdugou Valley where the Japanese army headquarters was located.

    "These shells don't expect to hit the Japanese command post in the dark, they just need to make some noise."

    The Japanese division commander Nakajima Konsogo, who was already sleeping, was suddenly awakened by the sudden sound of artillery.

    He sat up from the bed, put on the helmet handed over by a soldier, and walked towards the headquarters not far away, escorted by several soldiers.

    Unlike the Japanese soldiers at the front who were resisting the attack, Nakajima Jingao still had a little bit of relief on his face at this time.

    Because he could roughly judge from the firepower and the intensity of the artillery fire that the enemy had invested at least 6,000 troops in the attack this time.

    Such a large-scale attack shows that it is the enemy's main force.  This shows that the bait has bitten the hook, and the division headquarters is the bait. This bait successfully caught the enemy's main force.

    Entering the headquarters, he saw the members of the staff who had gathered here, as well as several major officers.

    "The enemy has taken the bait." It was Mitsuo Nakazawa who spoke, with a slight smile on his face.

    Nakajima Jinchao smiled and nodded, then subconsciously looked at the corner, but he did not find Hayakawa's figure.

    In normal meetings, Hayakawa would usually stand in that corner.

    At this time, Nakajima Kongo remembered that during the day today, Hayakawa said that he would take some members of his sniper squadron to bypass the enemy's flanks and rear, intending to cause some trouble for the enemy there.

    Nakajima Kongo knows that compared to directing the war and strategizing, Hayakawa prefers to hunt down the living lives in the scope with the rifle in his hand.

    ¡°Otherwise, with Hayakawa¡¯s military talent and family background, he would definitely not be as simple as a squadron leader of a sniper squadron.

    However, Nakajima Kongo also vaguely knew that this time Hayakawa brought the sniper squadron to participate in this battle, and he had other purposes.  But he didn't ask carefully at the time.

    "According to the latest situation, the enemy launched a fierce attack on our four positions at the same time, and the enemy's artillery fire was very fierce." A staff officer immediately reported the intelligence just received to Nakajima Imaogo.

    Nakajima Jinchao looked at the map, and then based on the contents of the telegram, he marked several places where he was attacked.

    "How is the situation?" Nakajima asked Kongo.

    "Our army's defense is in place, and the enemy has not made much progress." The staff officer said.

    Nakajima Kongo smiled and nodded and said: "Order the troops to hold on to their positions and not to attack easily. At the same time, the 19th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade, which are detouring on our two wings, rush all night. We must complete the attack on the enemy before the night after tomorrow.  Encirclement.¡±

    As he said this, a more confident smile appeared on his face.

    The attack lasted for most of the night and gradually stopped at dawn.

    After the attack was over, the Second Guard Regiment and the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army were not idle. They divided their soldiers into three shifts to patrol or take a walk in the empty camps.  It makes the whole camp look like there are a lot of soldier activities.

    But in fact, the total number of troops in these camps is only three to four thousand.  But the Japanese armyObserving from a distance, the scouts could only see people coming and going in the camp, which looked very lively.

    On the outer lookout pavilion, soldiers equipped with more advanced telescopes would shoot from a distance once they spotted Japanese scouts.  This also allowed the Japanese reconnaissance troops to observe on distant hillsides instead of daring to approach for reconnaissance.  After all, they didn't know how many enemy sentries were hidden behind those hillsides.

    The Japanese 19th Brigade is marching through the mountain forest covered with fallen leaves.

    They had received an order from the division headquarters two days ago, asking them to make quick detours and strive to reach the enemy's flank within three days, and together with the 33rd Brigade, complete the encirclement of Xia Yang's troops.

    Tatsumi Kusaba, the commander of the 19th Brigade, rode a war horse on a rugged mountain road.

    They didn¡¯t rest long last night. In the middle of the night, Tatsumi Kusaba received news that the division commander was on his way overnight.

    At this time, the soldiers under his command were not very energetic.  However, they all relied on strong willpower and super organization to grit their teeth and move forward.

    ??According to the speed they are advancing at this time, they will be able to reach the scheduled combat position by tonight at most.

    But what Tatsuki Kusaba didn¡¯t know was that in Bailonggou, ten kilometers away from them, the troops of the Fourth Division and the 386th Brigade had already entered combat positions.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
