"who?"
The communications soldier next to him asked.
"Enemy's armored forces!"
As he said this, he felt a chill running down his spine.
A breath of death, together with the surrounding darkness, was suppressing him.
In the headquarters of the 13th Brigade, more than 5,000 combat personnel have already left the camp.
They had been bombed by the air forces of the Fourth Army before, and the Japanese fleet did not dare to get too close to the coastline.
On the one hand, it is because of the fear of running aground, and on the other hand, it is because of the deterrence of the ground artillery units of the Fourth Army.
And too far away from the coastline, the anti-aircraft firepower of Japanese naval guns could not cover this area. What they can defend against the air forces of the Fourth Army is the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.
However, these carrier-based aircraft did not dare to take off easily because of the darkness.
Yamamoto Isoroku is not a fool. The enemy has an absolute advantage in night fighting.
Their air power is likely to have various weapons and instruments used in night battles. When the time comes, taking advantage of their advantages in night battles, the air force of the Fourth Army will attack their fighter planes, and it is likely to turn into a unilateral massacre.
Although Yamamoto Isoroku is a gambler in war, he will not blindly follow up and waste his chips on the gambling table when he clearly knows that the other party's cards are better than his own.
When he prepares for stud, it is often when he is sure of winning.
The 13th Brigade's brigade leader, Nagato Kakugi, sat on an armored vehicle and followed the army forward.
Their troops were divided into three groups and each chose different attack routes.
One branch is close to the coastline to support the rear of the 31st Brigade under attack.
One force is advancing ten kilometers away from the coastline. This force intends to attack the flanks of the Fourth Army and pose a certain degree of threat to their flanks.
There is another group, which is advancing from a position thirty kilometers away from the coastline. They will attack the rear troops of the Fourth Army.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This idea of ????Nagao Hornwood is very good.
However, he obviously overestimated his own strength.
Originally, there were only more than 5,000 people in his brigade that could actually participate in the frontal battle.
Now there are five thousand people, and they have been broken into pieces by him. Just like that, he walked boldly towards the ambush area of ??the Eighth Route Army.
General He temporarily set up a headquarters in a room in a village.
On the map, their forward observation posts have successively discovered three Japanese support corps.
The action routes of these three supporting armies were very straightforward, with almost no thought of detours and maneuvers, and they attacked straight towards the flanks of the fourth army.
General He looked at the action route of the Japanese army and began to wonder if this enemy was playing some conspiracy.
However, even though he realized that it was really difficult for these Japanese soldiers to maneuver in this completely unfamiliar area in the dark. .
General He saw the Japanese troops thrusting toward their ambush circle like three spears, and immediately ordered the troops in front to make three openings. After the Japanese army entered five kilometers in depth, they closed the opening.
At this time, the three Japanese troops did not realize that on their way to the Japanese 31st Brigade, the Eighth Route Army troops had already bypassed their observation posts on the periphery and detoured back to their inevitable route. on the road.
On this path that the Japanese army must pass through, three huge pocket formations have slowly opened the entrance.
When Japanese troops are marching, they often dispatch a small group of troops to conduct reconnaissance as a forward to prevent entering an ambush circle.
But in the dark, the detection effect of these small units is greatly reduced.
These Japanese soldiers could only move forward in the darkness with their naked eyes.
They dare not release flares at will, otherwise they may be exposed.
And if the Fourth Army suddenly changes its focus and launches a fierce attack on them.
"These Japanese troops, who don't even have defensive positions, may have a harder time blocking the offensive of the Fourth Army.
¡°However, even if flares are released, the range that the Japanese army can detect is actually very limited.
In the vast wilderness, there are grass and woods everywhere. When the Eighth Route Army ambushed Japanese troops, they often only needed to squat down to be completely hidden in the grass and woods.
The Japanese reconnaissance troops often needOnly after we got closer could we find traces of these Eighth Route Army troops.
But the Eighth Route Army would not give them such a chance. They gave up three passages in advance to let the Japanese support troops enter.
There are also 10,000 Eighth Route Army troops, who started from the side of the Japanese army and began to make a large-scale detour to their sides and rear, blocking the retreat of these Japanese troops.
At two o'clock in the morning, the Japanese support troops had already begun to penetrate into the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation.
It was also at this time that the brigade commander Oda Nobikawa of the Japanese 31st Brigade, who was waiting for their support, had seen the steel behemoth slowly advancing under the dazzling light of the flares.
The heavy metallic luster of the tank armor plate was like the cold light of a guillotine, shining on the field ahead.
The main force of the two tank regiments of the Fourth Army has already led two infantry regiments and one motorized infantry regiment to advance towards the Japanese army.
On their two wings, there is also a cavalry regiment, intending to outflank the Japanese army and cut off the connection between the second line of defense and the first line of defense.
Looking at everything in front of him, Oda Nobukawa shouted: "Order the troops and launch the flares into the air to stop the enemy's armored troops from advancing!!"
The Japanese army¡¯s second line of defense once again fell into noisy and busy action.
The commanders were all yelling, asking the Japanese soldiers to move all the weapons that could deal with tanks and armored vehicles to the front.
Cluster grenades, flat-fire cannons, mortars, flamethrowers, and even 20mm anti-tank guns have also been brought to the battlefield.
They plan to resist the advance of the enemy's armored forces on the second line of defense.
But soon, these Japanese troops realized how fragile a simple defense line built purely by infantry troops was under the impact of tank troops.
Because they had just arrived here for one day, the Japanese army did not have time to build very solid defenses, and they did not dig a large number of anti-tank trenches that could limit the impact of tanks. And they are basically concentrated in front of the first line of defense.
At this time, these anti-tank trenches were filled with soil directly with cloth bags and slowly filled up after the infantry units of the Fourth Army captured the first line of defense.
The tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army rumbled past the occupied first line of defense as if they were walking on flat ground.
Where the tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army crossed over, the infantry of the Fourth Army who had been hiding in the trenches also crawled out, followed the rear of these armored units, and launched a charge towards the Japanese second line of defense.
