Haian Town Ancestral Hall, Japanese Army Headquarters. [read]

Tachibana Yoshio is patiently waiting for news from the cavalry.

The two cavalry squadrons of the cavalry have all been dispatched. With the mobility of the cavalry, any disturbance within a radius of a hundred miles will not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Japanese army. The remnants of the temporary 79th Division only need to enter a hundred miles of Haian Town. Within the range, it will inevitably be detected by the Japanese cavalry.

The heavy reconnaissance direction of the cavalry was to the southwest.

In this direction, the cavalry squadron led by cavalry captain Sato was responsible for reconnaissance.

Tachibana Yoshio originally thought that it would take at least an hour or two before the cavalry would find out. However, less than fifteen minutes had passed and the cavalry had discovered the whereabouts of the remnants of the temporary 79th Division.

"Where is it?" Tachibana Yoshio stood up from the chair in an instant.

The cavalry lieutenant who came back to report quickly walked to the map, pointed at it and said: "Here."

The eyes of Tachibana Yoshio, Kasahara Goro and several other lieutenants and majors fell on the map at the same time, landing on the position of the cavalry second lieutenant's finger. One of the lieutenants even picked up a square ruler, measured it on the map, and then said: "That's it. In Asakusa Bay in Manyang Henan, it is less than two thousand meters away from Hai'an Town."

There was an inexplicable fierce light in Tachibana Yoshio's eyes, and he asked again: "How many people are there?"

The cavalry ensign reported: "About one hundred and fifty people, no more than two hundred at most."

"One hundred and fifty people?" Tachibana Yoshio's thick eyebrows immediately tightened and he said, "According to the aviation reconnaissance report, there are at least 500 people in the remnants of the temporary 79th Division. This means that they appeared in Manyang. The 150 remnants on the south bank of the river are only part of the temporary remnants of the 79th Division."

Kasahara Goro, standing next to Tachibana Keio, asked again: "When they discovered the China Army, which direction were they heading?"

"The China Army is heading in this direction." The second lieutenant of the cavalry stretched out his hand on the map and pointed at a lake southwest of Haian Town. Tachibana Yoshio and Kasahara Goro's eyes suddenly froze.

"Seven Star Lake?" Kasahara Goro said solemnly, "The China Army is quite good at choosing battlefields."

After a pause, Kasahara Goro said to Tachibana Yoshio: "I visited the area around Qixing Lake yesterday and found that there are a large number of wetlands and swamps near Qixing Lake. It is surrounded by dense forests and the terrain is extremely complex. If we choose to go here with If the Chinese army fights, the imperial army will probably suffer no casualties.”

Tachibana Yoshio's eyes flashed when he heard this. The remnants of the temporary 79th Division did not choose the road passing through Hai'an Town, but chose Qixing Lake, which is full of wetlands and swamps. It can be seen that the commander on the opposite side has extremely superb battlefield skills. Chali, could it be that Shikahara Junsi's man, that dangerous enemy, is in this army

If this is the case, we should launch an ambush at all costs to wipe out this army.

Goro Kasahara asked: "Captain of the detachment, this China force has entered the ambush circle. Do you want to mobilize the surrounding ambush troops to form an encirclement against this China force?"

"Don't worry, this is probably just bait." Tachibana Yoshio waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "If an ambush is launched at this time, although this Chinese army can be easily annihilated, it will inevitably affect subsequent combat operations. If we are careful, it is possible for the remaining few hundred soldiers of the temporary 79th Division to break out of the encirclement."

Kasahara Goro thought for a while and then said: "Then what should we do with this and that army?"

Tachibana Yoshio pondered for a moment and said to the cavalry lieutenant: "Go back and tell you, Captain Sato, don't rush to attack the Chinese army, just entangle them."

The cavalry lieutenant said: "Captain, before I came back to report to you, Captain Sato had already led the cavalry squadron to attack the China Army."

"Baga!" Tachibana Yoshio was furious when he heard this, "Sato, this idiot, who allowed him to attack without permission?"

"Definitely..." Before Tachibana Yoshio finished his words, the rapid and chaotic sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the ancestral hall, and then a cavalry lieutenant with his face covered in blood staggered in. As soon as he entered the door, the cavalry lieutenant immediately couldn't hold on, His legs went limp and fell to the ground.

"Captain Kuroki?!" The cavalry lieutenant was shocked when he saw the cavalry lieutenant whose face was covered in blood.

"Go Kuroki?" Tachibana Yoshio's pupils also shrank sharply, and there was a faint sense of ominousness in his heart.

Sure enough, Kuroki sat up with the help of the second lieutenant of the cavalry, and said with a sad expression: "Captain, the cavalry squadron was severely damaged by the Chinese army, and Captain Sato was also shattered!"

"Nani?"

"This is impossible!"

"A cavalry squadron was defeated so quickly?"

As soon as Heimu finished speaking, there was a sound of breathing in the ancestral hall.

Even though Tachibana Yoshio had been mentally prepared for it, he couldn't help but feel secretly frightened at this moment.

Before today, Tachibana Keio only listened to how powerful and difficult it was to deal with the remnants of the 79th Division, but now, Tachibana Keio felt the pain with his own skin!

A cavalry squadron was severely damaged by the opponent in less than ten minutes!

This kind of combat effectiveness is simply astonishing. The temporary 79th Division was able to repeatedly defeat the imperial army in Wuxi, Baoxing, and Nantong. It was definitely not a fluke.

But after thinking about it, Tachibana Yoshio thought of another possibility. If that was the case, it would not be surprising that the 1st Cavalry Squadron was severely damaged.

At that moment, Tachibana Yoshio asked again: "Kuroki-san, how did you lose?"

Lieutenant Kuroki told the general situation of the battle. After listening, Kasahara Goro and the staff of the headquarters immediately started to curse.

"Baga, how can this be done?"

"Idiot Sato, do you think this is still the Warring States Period?"

"You actually charged head-on against the heavy machine guns of the Chinese Army. Aren't you looking for death?"

However, Tachibana Yoshio did not follow up and curse, because he heard a very useful information from Kuroki Tsuyoshi's narrative. At that moment, Tachibana Yoshio said again: "Kuroki-san, you just said that the two armies were thousands of meters apart. Sato-san was shot to death by a sharpshooter of the China Army?"

"Hai." Kuroki paused heavily and said, "The distance was at least one thousand meters at that time!"

"One thousand meters?" Kasahara Goro said solemnly, "This is absolutely impossible. If it is a fixed human-shaped target, it is not surprising to hit the target from a thousand meters away. It can still hit the target even from 1,500 meters away, but it moves at high speed. It is basically impossible for the cavalry to hit the target a thousand meters away."

But Tachibana Yoshio waved his hand and said: "It's basically impossible, but that doesn't mean it's absolutely impossible!"

When he said this, Tachibana Keio remembered what Shikahara Shunsi told him when he was in the naval hospital. He had two Chinese special forces in the remnants of the temporary 79th Division. These two Chinese special forces were extremely skilled in marksmanship. Outstanding, one of the Chinese soldiers can even jump sniper the pass!

Moreover, this Chinese soldier who can jump and snipe is probably the commander of the temporary remnants of the 79th Division. This series of battles in Wuxi, Baoxing and Nantong were probably written by this person! And his younger brother Tachibana Koji probably died at the hands of this person!

Although Tachibana Keio said he did not want to avenge his brother, in his heart, he always wanted to kill the commander of the remaining 79th Division to avenge his dead brother. More importantly, Tachibana Keio was eager to kill A deadly rival, he was determined to cleanse the remnants of the temporary 79th Division and bring shame to the entire Tachibana family.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Yoshio could no longer hold back and said to Kasahara: "Order, the 1st Infantry Battalion, the 1st Infantry Battalion, and the Artillery Team immediately attack and encircle in the direction of Qixing Lake!"

"Detachment leader?" Goro Kasahara said in surprise, "The failure of the Cavalry Squadron was only due to Sato underestimating the enemy, which is not enough to show how powerful the combat effectiveness of this detachment is. As you just said, what if this is just a temporary number seven?" The remnants of the 19th Division put out the bait, so we launched an ambush at this time, isn’t it because of the big loss?”

The other staff officers also nodded lightly. It would be too hasty for the detachment leader to launch an ambush at this time.

Kasahara Goro even made a suggestion: "Captain of the detachment, it is better to send out a squadron to bite them first and prevent them from leaving the ambush circle. It is not too late to wait until the remaining remnants of the temporary 79th Division have entered the ambush circle, and then launch an ambush. This will ensure that the remnants of the temporary 79th Division will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

"No need! No need to wait any longer!" Tachibana Yoshio waved his hand and said, "This unit may be just a bait released by the temporary 79th Division, but what I want to tell you is that I want to bite It is also this bait of the temporary 79th Division! After eating this unit, the remaining Chinese remnants will no longer be a concern!"

Kasahara Goro wanted to do it again, but Tachibana Keio stopped him.

Tachibana Yoshio waved his hand and said: "Kasahara-san, execute the order."

Seeing that Tachibana Yoshio was determined, Kasahara Goro said nothing more, turned around and walked into the next door telecommunications room to issue orders to various infantry brigades and artillery teams.

(Dividing line)

Southwest of Haian Town, by Qixing Lake.

Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng are leading a company of more than 100 veterans toward Qixing Lake.

Leng Tiefeng looked back as he walked and found that no Japs appeared within a thousand meters. He immediately took two steps to keep up with Xu Rui and said, "Old Xu, the Japs don't seem to have any reaction. What if they don't bite the hook?" , but focus on the 1st, 4th and 4th companies behind, that would be troublesome."

"No." Xu Rui said firmly, "The devil will definitely bite the hook."

Leng Tiefeng glanced at Xu Rui and said doubtfully: "Old Xu, are you so sure?"

"I'm so sure." Xu Rui said happily.

"What's the reason?" Leng Tiefeng obviously won't be convinced so easily.

"Reason?" Xu Rui's lips suddenly revealed an evil smile and said, "The reason is that now that the Japs know how powerful I am, as long as the Japs' commander is not an idiot, they will definitely concentrate all their efforts on encircling our company. And ignore the 1st Company, 1st Company and 4th Company."

Leng Tiefeng said solemnly: "You mean, the Japanese know that you are in the company?"

Xu Rui said happily: "Didn't you want to test your marksmanship with me just now? The shot just now clearly told the Japanese commander that I am here!"
