Qin Xiaosu went down the mountain, and immediately pointed out the direction to the soldiers with blank faces, and he didn't see him send scouts, in short, relying on the strange antenna like Zhu Bajie's nail rake, he claimed to know the enemy's vital location.

Seven tanks were activated, followed by a squad of soldiers on bicycles, and a cavalry company that came with the tanks. The battle in the north is in full swing, and it is obvious that Ma Qiang's team has already made the first move. At present, I only know the location of the enemy's artillery, but the specific deployment is not clear, and I don't know if there is any defense, so I can only test it head-on, Qin Xiaosu and He Ming have no combat experience, which is indeed a constraint.

According to Lin Xiuxuan's deployment, the cavalry led the reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, and soon heard the rumbling of artillery in the woods ahead, and the Japanese carriage could be seen entering from an improvised road to transport artillery shells. The roads were potholed, and in some places they were padded with tree branches to prevent the carriages from sinking. The defensive forces were not seen.

Judging by the complete map left by 419 last month, the jungle is not deep, and there is indeed an open area suitable for the deployment of artillery. With the heard artillery sound right in one direction. However, Qin Xiaosu really didn't know what to do next, he was usually the intelligence center of the special team, like a big boss who sat in the center of the spider's web and controlled everything, so it was difficult for him to adapt to the current chaotic situation, as if a large piece of the entire intelligence puzzle was missing, which made him completely overwhelmed.

He and He Ming were busy planning further reconnaissance, because the cavalry did not have a radio, and the reconnaissance ability was equivalent to 0 in his opinion, and it was difficult for him to imagine that in this era, a unit without a radio station was used for reconnaissance missions.

Another difficult question is whether the use of tanks in jungle areas will be detected by enemy infantry first, and then destroyed individually. The M5 tank was not a heavier tank like the Grant, and both the Japanese infantry* and grenadiers could pose a threat. Just as they were worried, the cavalry reconnaissance in front really went into trouble, they ran too close, and were seen by the Japanese garrison.

The Japanese were well hidden, apparently prepared, and a squadron of cavalry rushed out of the jungle and decisively carried out a counterattack. Judging by the situation, after Ma Qiang attacked from the north, the enemy here was not only chaotic, but also expected an attack from the south. This was indeed a great surprise to the entire action planner, Lin Xiuxuan.

Acting Commander of the 31st Division: Lieutenant General Shizaburo Miyaki was a cautious general known for his ability to gauge the enemy's intentions and be cautious in his use of troops. In the 26th year of the Republic of China, he commanded about 1,000 soldiers and a large number of armed expatriates, withstood the attack of tens of thousands of national troops in Zhabei and Hongkou, and adopted the strategy of constantly consuming the enemy and giving up the streets in a limited way, so that the enemy could come back at a high price. In the end, they waited for the landing of local reinforcements and fought a beautiful turnaround.

Of course, within the Japanese army, excellent defense was not an inevitable condition for being reused, and the plan he made during the attack on Jiangxi was too careful and did not have any intention of going in, and he livened up the base camp and almost rolled up into the reserve, until the Burma was tight and needed to temporarily form the 31st Division, which was reactivated. Originally, because of the procrastination of the operation, the new 38th Division of Sun Liren was not eaten, and Miyazaki once again faced the fate of being dismissed, and the Chinese army suddenly killed, which caught the 15th Army command by surprise and did not have time to make new personnel appointments, so Miyazaki still served as the blocking command. Shojiro Iida realized that although Miyazaki was not a good soldier, he might be a good candidate to let him take precautions.

Miyazaki was really not a reckless soldier, he had been tracking down the reason for the sudden appearance of the composite regiment in the rear of the 18th Division, although it had not yet been ascertained, but he suddenly appeared from the unit, and from the combat action of slamming from behind, he could see how sinister the opponent's use of troops was, and it was foreseeable that any attack by the opponent would be a sound attack. He is clearly aware of the enemy situation he is currently facing, the enemy has no way to go and will fight to the death, and behind him there is a new 38th Division that has just broken through to counterattack at any time, so he considers himself a mourning soldier and deals with everything carefully.

Of course, he knew that the enemy would not kill all the way from the front, that was not the style of the group of the Synthetic Regiment, otherwise he would not have hid behind the flank of the 18th Division for so long. However, he did not have enough troops to defend a wide front, and the terrain conditions in Burma did not allow it. So he focused on the road, and at the same time had a strong reserve in hand, just waiting for the enemy to make a detour and see a move.

As soon as the north began, he once again anticipated that this might still be a feint, and he urged his troops not to rush to the north in one go, and to be careful to defend the southern artillery units. In the combat examples he collected about the composite battalion, the unit was always able to sneak behind the Japanese lines and attack vulnerable units such as the headquarters and artillery baggage units.

The Japanese cavalry chased after the Chinese cavalry, relying on the horses that were a head taller, and the cavalry did not pay attention to the Chinese soldiers at all. The Japanese army has always despised the Chinese cavalry riding the Three Hippos, in their eyes the Chinese army does not even distinguish between pack horses and war horses, the horses are not much bigger than dogs, and the coat color is even more messy, and it is completely a miscellaneous brand.

Qin Xiaosu ordered the signal soldiers to shake the small flag and let the cavalry retreat quickly, but it seemed that the speed was not enough, and they couldn't get rid of the enemy.

I saw that I had caught up, but I saw that there was a commotion in the jungle opposite, and tall trees fell one after another. 、

7 tanks drove out of the forest at the same time, the tankmen really couldn't see the Japanese army bullying the ponies with big horses, Qin Xiaosu gave an order, so that the Japanese meat horses could see the advantages and disadvantages of the iron horses.

The tank rushed out and immediately followed the Japanese cavalry squadron with fire nets, and in an instant hit a man on his back. The Japanese commander found himself exposed to an open area where he could not advance or retreat, and tried to continue to advance around the rear of the tank, but the horses were not trained to resist the armor, and when they saw such a behemoth, their feet were weak, and they ran around and grabbed the front of the tank. For a while, the formation was chaotic. The Chinese cavalry turned around and threw themselves into a counterattack. Although the Chinese war horses are also afraid of chariots, they have already seen the march with chariots all the way, especially these big animals are quite intellectual, and they also know that the iron horses are on their side, and the situation is reversed for a while.

Most of the Japanese cavalry squadrons were killed before they had time to withdraw to their starting positions. However, the Japanese army reacted very quickly, and Qin Xiaosu immediately saw with a telescope that someone was dragging a few 92-infantry guns to meet the cavalry at the mountain pass and retreated.

The 92 rifle is essentially a low-bore compression gun, but the ballistic trajectory is relatively straight at close range, the weight is lighter, and the deployment is extremely fast, which can be competent for anti-tank tasks, especially the charge is very large, once hit, the light tank can not resist.

Qin Xiaosu felt that he might be able to rush into the enemy formation in one go, but he hesitated a little, and then lost the courage to order a retreat. He now lacks support firepower, and once he loses his suddenness, the enemy's defenses will become more and more stubborn, which is a contradiction in his heart. Sure enough, his judgment was correct, and by the time the tank retreated, the enemy on the opposite side had already launched several anti-aircraft guns, and the accuracy was much better than that of the 92 rifle. Fortunately, the tank retreated far away and withstood several shots.

Seeing that the attack was frustrated, Qin Xiaosu was at a loss, and the loss if he continued to attack might be even greater. He continued to listen to the radio, hoping to find flaws in the enemy's deployment, but the Japanese army's radio utilization rate was too low, so he could only listen to the orders of the troops above the brigade level, and it was difficult to spy on the deployment of small troops.

The chaotic audio in the headphones skipped, and the electronic system was sorting through various information, but it couldn't find anything useful for a while. He knew that the enemy's forces on the opposite side could not be fortified everywhere, and there must be a gap to intervene, but where was the gap?

A familiar voice suddenly floated through the headset: "Don't stop, they are mobilizing artillery to cover your position, and I will guide you in your actions." ”

It was Lu Qingshan's voice.

"You ...... How did you get back? ”

Qin Xiaosu subconsciously raised his head and asked, he knew that there must be a large drone above his head at this moment, of course it was impossible to see it.

According to the original plan, 419 must go to the South Pacific to prevent the Combined Fleet from turning the tables in a battle at the level of the Coral Sea or Midway, but there must be a reason for giving up the mission and coming back early, he didn't know that 419 encountered a 21st century* pursuit, which made Cheng Dayang's judgment of the situation fundamentally change.

Regardless of whether Cheng Dayang's judgment is correct or not, the return of 419 has practical significance at this moment, at least now it can help Lin Xiuxuan and the entire expeditionary force in a mess. The acting division commander of the 31st Division is not as rational as the Japanese, he has been trying to speculate on the enemy's various intentions after the fog of war, and his guess is still eight or nine, this person is indeed more difficult than any brave and warlike Japanese general, but he will immediately fall into a real intelligence asymmetrical environment, in that case, a little bit of personal rigorous analysis. In fact, it doesn't play a role.

419 uses drones to carry out multi-channel contact, Ma Qiang, Lin Xiuxuan, Chu Tingchang, Qin Xiaosu and other groups almost at the same time to learn 419 intelligence, some of them do not use intuitive screens to display the enemy situation, but 419 can still be based on reconnaissance intelligence, direct guidance.

At present, Lu Qingshan is in charge of Qin Xiaosu's guidance, he can clearly see the huge flaws in the enemy's deployment, and he can use it, the enemy's original intention was to use the cavalry as a reconnaissance force to constantly test the direction of the enemy's attack, so that the follow-up troops have time to deploy in a mobile manner, but now the cavalry has been basically eliminated, and he didn't expect the drone to circle around his head, updating the enemy situation on the ground every 15 minutes, and under the monitoring of large optical reconnaissance equipment, any large-scale movement can be seen clearly.

Qin Xiaosu carried the radio on his back, jumped on his bicycle, waved a small flag in front of the team, and let the troops follow, after the tank was activated, he pedaled all the way to the east, and Lu Qingshan told him that there was a ravine in front of him that could pass through the tank, and then went around behind the enemy, where there was no enemy.

Ma Qiang, who is dozens of kilometers away, has also received information about the enemy's specific deployment, and the Japanese army is transferring troops from the highway to block it, but it is not an armored force, and the artillery is hung on the car, although it is a valuable mobile force for the Japanese army, but it is not an effective counterattack force. He ordered two tanks to stretch the road to the east and collide directly with the supporting enemy forces.

The enemy convoy rounded the ring road and was surprised to find a tank parked in the middle of the road 1 kilometer ahead, and when the commander used a six-fold telescope to identify friend and foe, Grant had already opened fire. The first shot overturned a truck full of soldiers, along with a 47-mm anti-aircraft gun, and rolled into the abyss.

The second Grant fired, hitting the first truck in the convoy, and before most of the Japanese had time to get out of the car, the truck was also destroyed.
