    The efficiency of the Japanese army is still very high, especially in emergency military situations like this.

    In just ten minutes, the garrison in Jining City was assembled. After counting the troops, Lieutenant Colonel Otsuka Umetaro, the deputy commander of Jining garrison, immediately led more than 3,000 people out of the city to assist Zoucheng.

    Because time was urgent, Lieutenant Colonel Otsuka Umetaro ordered 600 people from the cavalry squadron and search team to go first, while he himself followed with two infantry brigades and a large number of technical troops, totaling more than 2,000 people.

    Otsuka Umetaro's purpose is very clear, that is, no matter what, he must rush to the battlefield before the city of Zoucheng is defeated and chop off all the heads of those hateful people, so that they know what the consequences will be if they provoke the Japanese Imperial Army.  tragic!

    It¡¯s just that Otsuka Umetaro never thought that right in front of them, the god of death had already opened his arms, waiting for their arrival!

    At this time, Li Guoyao¡¯s Death Scythe was already thirsty and thirsty, waiting for the little devil to come!

    On an avenue 20 kilometers west of Zoucheng, a large number of fortifications and bunkers have been built on both sides of the open space. This is true for the two-kilometer-long avenue.

    This is the ambush position chosen by Li Guoyao. In addition to this position, Li Guoyao also chose to build a large number of fortifications on another road five kilometers away. This is the second ambush position selected by Li Guoyao.

    In addition, there is a line of defense in front, together with the ambushes on both sides of the avenue, forming a huge inverted triangle ambush array.

    The reason why Li Guoyao made the arrangement was that he already knew the marching arrangements of the Japanese army and knew that a large number of cavalry and reinforcements were coming to Zoucheng.  Li Guoyao immediately decided to set up an ambush and wipe out the cavalry first, and then attack their infantry.

    Of course, all this was due to the fact that the Japanese troops in Jining City kept in contact with the "defenders" in Zoucheng, so Li Guoyao knew everything about the Japs' actions and troop deployment, and he was able to prescribe the right medicine.

    At 1:30 in the morning, with the sound of galloping war horses, the vanguard of the Japanese cavalry finally appeared in the sight of Li Guoyao and others.

    This is a powerful cavalry. Although there are only more than six or seven hundred people, because they are all riding war horses, they run with the momentum of thousands of horses and horses, which is majestic and extraordinary.

    The leader was a strong second lieutenant. In addition to his saber, he also held a flashlight in his hand, lighting the way for his horse while running.

    The dazzling lights are the best guiding lights. From a distance, these guys exposed their targets to Li Guoyao and others.

    Because it is too dark and the infrastructure in various parts of China is very poor, even the large province of Shandong has few decent roads.  In addition, it is close to a mountainous area and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, so the cavalry is not very fast.

    On one side of the mountain road, Li Guoyao stared at these Japanese cavalry and immediately ordered the troops in the first ambush circle not to take action. He let the little Japanese cavalry pass and handed them over to the second ambush position ahead.

    Soon, the Japanese cavalry troops passed through the first ambush position of the Chinese army and rushed towards the position where Chen Jianzhong was commanding.

    According to Li Guoyao's arrangement, the two ambush positions were two kilometers apart. There were more than 3,000 people in front and only more than 1,000 people in the back.

    According to the normal marching speed, the cavalry is definitely faster than the infantry, but because they are walking at night, the distance between the two may be controlled within three to five kilometers.

    In this way, the troops can attack the Japanese cavalry first. When the infantry behind hears the fighting in front, they will rush to reinforce. At this time, Li Guoyao's troops can intercept the enemy's infantry, and then the battle will be perfect.

    As the squadron leader of the Japanese search squadron, Captain Sakurada was very excited at this time. For a lower-level officer like him, if he wants to climb up step by step, he needs to fight continuously and gain military merit.

    But as a second-line garrison, the opportunities for combat are actually very limited.

    Especially in places like Jining, the Japanese army has been driven away long ago, and even if there are any, they are just those annoying Tuba roads, coming and going without a trace, and no one can be caught at all.

    Therefore, fighting like today is really a rare opportunity, and he has been in the position of captain for more than three years. His qualifications are definitely enough. Now he just lacks military merit and opportunities. As long as he has military merit, he can be promoted to major.  A sure thing.

    Although there is only one rank difference between captain and major, the difference in treatment is huge.

    A captain is a lieutenant, while a major is an assistant officer. The difference in the number of troops commanded by the two is more than five times!

      In addition, if Major has the opportunity, he can become a garrison commander in another place. That would be a lucrative position. Just like their commander, people of this kind would come to the headquarters every day to give money to Chief Sasaki.

    In the past three months alone, they knew that Colonel Sasaki had sent two batches of gold to the country, totaling more than two hundred taels. If converted into Japanese yen, it would be worth hundreds of thousands.

    What pleased Captain Sakurada the most was that their opponent today turned out to be the main force of Tubal Road. As far as he knew, this army was composed of farmers. Not to mention crude weapons and equipment, most of the soldiers had not been systematically trained.  , even a regiment may not be comparable to a squadron of the Imperial Japanese Army. Fighting with such an army is simply gaining military merit.

    Even Captain Sakurada was wondering if as long as he won this battle, his promotion to Major would be no problem.

    In view of this, Captain Sakurada was very excited along the way and kept slapping the horse's butt. He wanted to rush to Zoucheng as soon as possible and use his samurai sword to completely destroy the soldier's will to resist.

    Of course, even before his death, Captain Sakurada did not expect that more than 3,000 Chinese troops were ambush on the gentle slopes on both sides of the mountain road they passed.

    Fortunately, Li Guoyao looked down upon his hundreds of men, so he did not open fire immediately. Otherwise, in five minutes at most, the area they were in would turn into a swarm of ghosts, and none of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers would be spared, and all would be wiped out.

    At the No. 2 ambush position, Chen Jianzhong held the telescope tightly in his hand and stared closely at the swarming Japanese soldiers.

    When all the Japanese cavalry walked into the ambush, Chen Jianzhong put down his binoculars and checked his firearms!

    After feeling that there was no problem, Chen Jianzhong immediately ordered people to check the weapons and equipment, and then be ready to fire at any time!

    When the Japanese soldiers passed by on the road at the foot of the mountain, Chen Jianzhong was the first to pull the trigger and headshot the cavalry lieutenant who was walking at the front.

    At the same time, three consecutive rounds of flares rose from the hillside into the sky, and then exploded, illuminating the surroundings brightly in the dark night!

    The sound of a gun is a signal, and as long as the gun sounds, it is equivalent to an order to fire.

    So, the soldiers ambushing on both sides of the hillside opened fire at the same time, using light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and grenade launchers to attack these Japanese cavalry troops.

    The Japanese army was suddenly attacked, and their position was immediately confused. In addition, the cavalry itself was a very large target, and there were countless casualties and mourning all over the place.

    With the fierce firepower of Chen Jianzhong's troops, puffs of blood mist flew out of the Japanese army in the middle of the mountain road, and corpses were thrown up high and fell to the ground.

    Captain Sakurada was immediately stunned!  In panic, he immediately ordered the troops to break out immediately!

    But everything was in vain. Because the target of the cavalry unit was too large, it was really difficult to turn around, and after turning around, you would leave your back to the opponent, so Captain Sakurada directly ordered the troops to continue to charge forward, hoping to take advantage of the powerful impact of the cavalry.  Break through the enemy's ambush.

    However, what he didn¡¯t know was that in order to increase the firepower, Li Guoyao specially ordered people to increase the firepower of Chen Jianzhong¡¯s troops.  In addition to the light and heavy machine guns originally equipped, Li Guoyao asked Chen Jianzhong to transfer more than 20 light and heavy machine guns from the Japanese arsenal in Zoucheng to supplement the troops.

    There are now more than 20 light and heavy machine guns alone on both sides of the hillside, and more than 40 light machine guns. For an ambush team of more than a thousand people, such powerful firepower is even more powerful than that of an infantry regiment of the Little Devils.  Not bad at all. Dealing with hundreds of Japanese cavalry with huge targets is not something that can be easily captured.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
