Hideaki Okamoto and Nanjiro Araki were both captains of the Shaosa Brigade before, but when the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Forces formed an infantry detachment, Momoyo Kunomura recommended Hideaki Okamoto as the leader of the Nakasa detachment, because Hideaki Okamoto was more satisfied with Momoyo Kunomura.

Most of the Japanese officers were more embarrassed to ask for help and ask for guidance, and when they encountered something that they could not solve, they would rely on a ruthless force to solve it, which was very tired of Kunomura Momoyo, who knew that fighting with the new 2nd Brigade troops, such a command style would only bring more casualties to his own troops.

Hideaki Okamoto is more satisfied with Momoyo Kunomura at this point, and when something can't be solved, Hideaki Okamoto will immediately ask for instructions.

Unlike the Eighth Route Army, the radio stations of the Eighth Route Army can only be equipped to the brigade level, but the Japanese military radio stations can be equipped to the brigade level, and they can contact each other through the radio at any time.

Hideaki Okamoto immediately reported the situation on the front line to Momoyo Kunomura, and he was ready to let Momoyo Kunomura solve the problem.

Soon, Hideaki Okamoto received instructions from Kunomura Momoyo, and for the defensive position of the new second brigade, Kunomura Momoyo had his own solution.

The usual tactics of the Japanese troops were to test with a small number of infantry, and when the defenders' firepower was exposed, the artillery would carry out artillery bombardment, and the infantry would launch a fierce attack, attacking from weak points to break through the defenders' positions, resulting in the defeat of the defenders on all fronts.

However, such tactics can be used against ordinary Chinese troops who lack light and heavy weapons, but they will obviously not be effective against troops like the New Second Brigade.

The troops of the New Second Brigade are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and the officers and men of the troops are very elite, and a small number of Japanese infantry will only become a live target for the infantry of the New Second Brigade if they are tempted.

When the Japanese troops encountered such a situation, they could only launch a fierce attack, expose the opponent's fire point through the onslaught, and then clear the fire point with artillery.

However, Kunomura Momoyo did not plan to launch a fierce attack, he knew how strong the firepower of the new second brigade was, and at this time, the Japanese troops attacked fiercely, and there would only be heavy casualties.

Kunomura Momoyo's method was to strengthen the number of tentative troops, with each combat group as the mainstay, light machine guns and grenadiers as cover, and the battle group alternately covered, quickly maneuvering in front of the defender's position, so as to find out the defenders' weak points of defense and the deployment of firepower points.

After Hideaki Okamoto received the order from Momoyo Kunomura, he was slightly incomprehensible, and he thought that the current combat mission of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed War should be to quickly enter Donghui Town and defeat the troops of the New 2nd Brigade in Donghui Town, instead of wasting time with the troops of the New 2nd Brigade here.

But even though Hideaki Okamoto had a great deal of incomprehension, he still carried out the order of Momoyo Kunomura, and he immediately gave combat orders to the first melee brigade and the second melee brigade.

Kunomura Momoyo naturally had his idea in doing this, and now the troops of the 4th Cavalry Brigade returned to Zanhuang County, and the armored detachment of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat also left together.

Under such circumstances, Kunomura Momoyo naturally had to be cautious in the battle, and he still had the idea of waiting for the main force of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade to return and fight together.

The 1st Mixed Battalion and the 2nd Mixed Battalion sent eight infantry squads to test the fire of Zheng Guanzilin's 4th Battalion and Xiao Yan's 8th Battalion.

The devil soldiers were much smarter this time, their riflemen covered each other and quickly maneuvered in front of the position.

When a sniper fires, the covering rifleman immediately locks onto the sniper and fires, often after the sniper shoots, he is shot by the ghost soldiers.

You must know that at this time, more than 80 percent of the riflemen in the Japanese army were capable of snipers in later generations.

Three of the nine snipers of the 4th Battalion were killed by the devil soldiers in an instant, and when Zheng Guan Zilin learned of this casualty, he immediately ordered the snipers to stop shooting.

Faced with the devil soldiers who were constantly maneuvering and testing in front of his position, Zheng Guan Zilin began to give orders for light machine gun fire.

The light machine guns of the fourth battalion began to fire, and the devil soldiers suffered certain losses, but as the light machine guns began to fire, one by one the light machine guns and smoke bombs began to fire at the defenders' light machine guns, and then the Japanese artillery positions on Woniu Mountain began to bombard the targets fiercely.

The fourth battalion had a total of 36 Czech-style and crooked-handled light machine guns, Zheng Guan Zilin ordered 16 light machine guns to shoot, as the light bullets and smoke grenades were fired towards the position of the light machine guns, the Japanese artillery carried out a key shelling, and the 16 light machine guns were destroyed on the spot Seven were destroyed, if it were not for the light machine guns deployed in reinforced positions, I am afraid this number would be even greater.

After the shelling ended, the Japanese infantry continued to maneuver in front of the position, and from time to time they fired at the position to attract the fire of the defenders.

After being shelled by Japanese artillery once, the officers and men of the New Second Brigade also knew that as long as their fire was exposed, the Japanese would immediately fire drag bombs and smoke bombs to guide the artillery positions behind to carry out artillery bombardment.

"Brigade commander, what are the little devils going to do, don't they want to capture Donghui Town, it will not be good for them to consume it like this."

Back in the town, Zhong Jian, the head of the independent regiment, came to Sun Weiguo, looking at the battle outside the town, Zhong Jian's face was full of puzzled expressions.

"The first brigade of the melee did not have the fourth cavalry brigade to help the battle, and their armored troops never showed up, obviously their armored troops followed the main force of the fourth cavalry brigade to return to Zanhuang County, Kunomura Momoyo wanted to find the weak point of our position, and he was also waiting for the fourth cavalry brigade to solve the joint operation of the sixth cavalry regiment in Zanhuang County. It's not okay to go on like this, it's too bad for us. ”

Sun Weiguo put down the telescope in his hand, and he said in a solemn tone.

The two melee brigades of the Japanese army had eight infantry squadrons, but now they are only three infantry squadrons in front-line combat, and the rest of the devil soldiers are resting and waiting at the starting position. However, the three infantry squadrons that were put into operation put all the officers and men of the fourth and eighth battalions on high alert.

When the officers and men of the 4th and 8th Battalions are on high alert for a long time, their mental and physical strength will naturally be depleted.

Even if the Japanese army continued like this, they used three infantry squadrons to consume the mental and physical strength of two battalions of officers and men.

Once the two sides start a decisive battle, the Japanese still have five energetic infantry squadrons to put into action.

What's more, when human mental and physical strength is consumed to a certain extent, it is inevitable that some mistakes will occur, which is very likely to give the Japanese army an opportunity.

Sun Weiguo knew that he could not continue like this, and he had to mobilize all the Japanese troops.
