    After the Japanese cavalry suffered heavy losses at the front line of Daishan Town, they immediately withdrew back. After less than ten kilometers, they rejoined the troops arriving for reinforcements.

    After seeing that there were only a hundred or so people left in such a large cavalry brigade, the cavalry commander Yoshino was almost furious.

    As the only cavalry regiment of the 9th Division, Colonel Yoshino and his highly mobile unit have always been the darlings of the division commander Ryosuke Yoshizumi. To a certain extent, the division commander even believed that the cavalry regiment was more powerful than the cavalry regiment.  All the tanks in the division's light and heavy regiments are important.

    Normally speaking, the division commander would never send them out for a general attack mission. Normally, the division commander would curse dozens of people with casualties. Now that he has lost three to four hundred people at once, Colonel Yoshino can totally imagine the division commander.  How will the leader deal with them?

    Although Colonel Yoshino does not think that the division commander will remove him from his post, let alone send him to a military court, it is still very possible that he will be severely reprimanded or even slapped.

    Thinking that he, a captain of the colonel, was about to be slapped by his superiors, Colonel Yoshino became furious.

    After giving the cavalry captain a severe beating, Colonel Yoshino immediately ordered someone to send a telegram to the second brigade, ordering them to rush to Daishan Town immediately.

    However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that the second team actually lost contact.

    However, Colonel Yoshino did not think that something had happened to the Second Battalion, but thought that the troops were on the march and the radio station was in radio silence, so it was unable to receive and reply to the information from the wing headquarters.

    Since they could not be contacted, Colonel Yoshino discussed it with Colonel Isa Kazuo, captain of the 7th Infantry Regiment. Before the second brigade could merge, the main force immediately rushed to the front line of Daishan Town to defeat the Chinese army in front first!

    Since the Japanese army in front of them was either cavalry or traveling in cars, they were very fast and arrived at Daishan Town in less than half an hour.

    After arriving at Daishan Town, Colonel Isa Kazuo and others did not rush to attack. Instead, they stood on a hillside in front of Daishan Town and carefully observed the town below.

    The more they looked at Isa Kazuo and others, the more they felt that the Chinese army in the town was not simple. They found that the Chinese army opposite had chosen its position very cleverly.  Not only did a large number of fortifications be built in the front and back of Daishan Town, but also several small highlands on the left and right sides of the town were all occupied.

    More importantly, Daishan Town happens to be blocking the only way to Bengbu, and there is no detour nearby. If you insist on taking a detour, you will have to walk at least an extra day. Obviously, the imperial army is  Won't waste this time.

    Moreover, the Chinese defenders on the opposite side were very particular about the construction of their position and fortifications. The trenches were arranged horizontally and vertically very skillfully. The little earthbag-like things that were neither high nor low should be bunker-type firepower points. The front and rear coordination was very appropriate. Even he  You have to admire this experienced veteran.

    When attacking such a strong defensive position, the casualties of the troops may not be too small. Therefore, after discussing with Colonel Yoshino, Isa Kazuo decided to report the situation to the brigade headquarters now, otherwise the losses of the troops would be too great and he would not report it to the division headquarters.  !

    After receiving the news from Kazuo Isa from the front line, Major General Akiyama Yoshitori, the commander of the 6th Brigade, instead of being angry, was secretly happy. As a major general brigade commander, Major General Akiyama was not afraid of fighting with the Chinese army, but was afraid of the Chinese army.  Escape.

    Since the Chinese army in front of them is in a fight to the death, it means that they have received a death order. If they fight well, this may be a battle of annihilation with brilliant results.

    Immediately, Major General Akiyama ordered the 7th Regiment to immediately launch an all-out attack on the Chinese army facing them, and be sure to defeat the enemy before the large forces arrived.

    Colonel Isa Kazuo is a standard iron-blooded soldier. In his opinion, all soldiers should fight according to the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Since the brigade commander has given the order, he has nothing to hesitate and immediately orders the troops to prepare.  attack.

    But unlike other officers of the Japanese army, although Colonel Isa Kazuo looks down on the Chinese army a little, he has a clear understanding of the current war between China and Japan.

    He knew that although the Imperial Army had now achieved brilliant results, occupying one-third of China's land in just ten months, and even captured Nanjing, the capital of China, Colonel Isa Kazuo knew that it was still close to complete destruction.  China is still far behind.

    Because the military victory is only temporary, if the Chinese people's will to resist cannot be fundamentally destroyed, this war will never be judged as a victory for the Japanese Empire.

    And judging from the current situation, whether it is China¡¯s nominal government or variousThe armed forces led by the local warlords have no intention of surrender, and the yamen have a strong will to resist.

    Moreover, Isa Kazuo also knows that the Empire of Japan is very powerful on the surface, but after all, it is just a small island country. The domestic economy and resources do not allow the empire to engage in long-term large-scale wars, otherwise the empire's economy may collapse.  .

    Because of this, Isa Kazuo was very cautious during combat, trying to avoid a large number of casualties in the troops.

    After the combat order was issued, Isa Kazuo did not immediately order the troops to charge, but first ordered an infantry squad to conduct a tentative attack on Daishan Town.

    The main purpose of this exploratory attack is not to capture the defenders' positions, but to test out the defenders' firepower points and artillery positions, so as to provide coordinates for artillery operations.

    With the attack of the Japanese infantry squad, the troops on the defensive position took action one after another. Soldiers entered the trenches one by one, preparing to counterattack.

    When the Japanese army entered the effective range of the rifle, the defenders opened fire quickly!

    However, what surprised Isa Kazuo was that the Chinese troops on the front line did not fight in a chaotic manner. Instead, they fought in a very orderly manner. The gunfire was very sparse, and there was not even the sound of light and heavy machine guns. Some were just single-shot rifles.  Click!

    However, with the sound of gunfire, the imperial troops in front fell one by one. In an instant, the infantry squad of fifty or sixty people was reduced to less than forty people!

    "Special marksman?"

    Isa Kazuo took a breath. He thought he knew the Chinese army very well. In his impression, whether it was the elite Central Army of the Chinese government or the local warlord troops, they had a strong will to fight, but their tactical literacy was very rubbish.

    Especially the shooting level of the soldiers is far behind that of the Imperial Japanese Army. Many soldiers can only be said to be good at shooting. As for whether they are accurate, it can make people laugh!

    However, the scene in front of him completely overturned his inherent impression of the Chinese army. With such accurate marksmanship, even the special marksmen in the imperial army would not give in. Where are there so many good shooters in the Chinese army?

    In fact, Isa Kazuo has no idea at all that these soldiers with accurate marksmanship are specially selected from the Du8 Brigade. The purpose is not only to fight against the small Japanese troops, but to be used as snipers in the forward positions.

    Just now, the Japanese army only sent an infantry team up. Gao Hu, the leader of the new second regiment, knew that the Japs were preparing to test the firepower configuration of the defenders, so he immediately sent all these quasi-snipers up.

    Under the counterattack of these quasi-snipers, the infantry team of the little devil was annihilated with almost no bubbles. More than fifty people were not spared, and they were all killed on the front line!

    Seeing dozens of corpses lying quietly on the ground in front of the garrison position, Kazuo Isa, Osaka Yoshino and others were stunned. It had been more than half a year since their 9th Division invaded China, and they had fought hard and tough battles, but this kind of battle was still  first.

    In view of this, Isa Kazuo immediately decided to send another infantry squadron to try. After all, the Chinese army on the opposite side was a bit weird. The more it happened at this time, the less anxious it was.

    Compared with an infantry squad, the firepower of a complete infantry squadron is much stronger. The nearly two hundred combat troops, plus a large number of light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, caused huge damage to the defenders.  pressure.

    At this time, the dozens of quasi-snipers on the defensive positions alone could no longer suppress the Japanese army. Gao Hu immediately ordered the light and heavy machine guns in the front-line trenches to fire to suppress the Japanese army!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
