Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

Hanzhuang area.

In a dilapidated house.

Masahiko Asaka Gong is discussing with a group of Japanese soldiers how to deal with the First Independent Division.

Because the Sato Brigade has sent a telegram, one of its regiments has been completely wiped out.

And he also brought a piece of news.

That means the First Independent Division really has hundreds of cannons!

The Fifth Division was originally a division with hundreds of cannons, especially after Asaka Palace Masahiko came for revenge.

He specially transferred some 105mm heavy artillery from other places.

Zhang Yunqing's independent first division had a blood feud with him, and his own nephew was also killed during the previous battle of Yushe.

This made Masahiko Asaka Gong take the independent first division attacking Xiyang County as his ultimate goal...

"Now one regiment of Sato's brigade has been wiped out, and there is almost no surviving soldier?"

"Toshi Sato is taking the remaining troops to rest and prepare to attack again tomorrow..."

"What do you think?"

When everyone heard this, they all started to look at each other. Obviously, they also knew about the Suzuki Alliance being wiped out.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the strength of the First Independent Division has been demonstrated..."

"One hundred cannons plus the seven or eight aircraft we knew before, this should be their last trump card..."

"Although the Suzuki Alliance was completely wiped out, they still played a role..."

"This also completely exposed the independent first division's trump card."

At this time, Major General Nakamura Ichiro, the commander of the brigade, stood up. His current task is to serve as a reserve.

Once Asaka Miya Masahiko leaves in the future, Sato Jun will be the division commander, and he will be the deputy division commander.

"One hundred cannons are just about the same as those of our fifth division. If we have a head-to-head confrontation, I think with the excellent combat qualities of our imperial soldiers..."

"It should be able to hit them hard..."

"However, our squadron has not come to help yet..."

"It's getting late now. They should arrive tomorrow, so we'll take the initiative to attack tomorrow!"

Nakamura Ichiro looked at everyone with cold eyes and said.

Asaka Gong Masahiko nodded.

"There are not even a single citizen in Malan Town and Hanzhuang Town. It is obvious that the First Independent Division has been prepared for a long time and wants to fight us to the death in these two places..."

"Since they are ambushing us, let's face them head on!"

"As soon as the plane arrives tomorrow, all the remaining troops of the Fifth Division will launch an attack!"

"The tank regiment must be well hidden... You are the charge barrier of the fifth division!"

In order to completely defeat the First Independent Division, Asaka Miyazaki Masahiko did not hesitate to bring the only tank regiment in Jin Province.

The commander of the tank regiment is Colonel Oda Oyama.

It has a regiment headquarters, including 1 Type 3 tanks and 2 Type tanks.

There is also 1 light tank squadron, 3 medium tank squadrons, and 1 artillery tank squadron.

In total, there are 36 Type 18 medium tanks, 11 Type light tanks and Type artillery tanks.

The number of Japs is about 1100.

"Hi! Your Majesty General... The tank wing has hidden all the tanks and ensured that the aircraft of the Independent Division will not find them."

Oda Dashan said respectfully.

In the past, the presence of so many tanks on the battlefield would have been a huge killer, and it would have been easy to use them against the Eighth Route Army or the Shanxi-Sui Army.

After all, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army now have very few anti-tank weapons.

However, when they met the First Independent Division, they chose the wrong opponent.

The First Independent Division has more than a dozen Tiger tanks and Panther tanks alone.

Not to mention anything else, even one Tiger tank can defeat twenty Japanese Type 97 tanks without any problem...

In order to build ships, the little devils cut corners on many tanks. Not to mention anti-tank weapons, grenades can also be tied up and blown up...

In fact, the reconnaissance squadron really did not find any tanks.

The main reason is that the little Japs are hiding very deep. They know that the First Independent Division has planes, so they hide...

However, so what if there is a chariot regiment, they are just here to die...

"Colonel Kitahara Sosuke of the Artillery Regiment, your troops have a good rest tonight and don't get too close to us when we set out tomorrow morning..."

"All artillery, especially large-caliber artillery, must be protected!"

Masahiko Asaka Miya continued.

"Hi! Your Excellency, Division Commander, Beiyuan understands!"

"With the artillery regiment here, the First Independent Division will die without a burial place!"

"As for the remaining troops, rest where they are. Early tomorrow morning, we will conduct a blanket search with the Sato Brigade!"

Asaka Miyazaki Masahiko is already full of confidence at this moment.

Even if an infantry regiment is lost, so what?

As long as the Fifth Division annihilates the First Independent Division, the imperial army will lose a huge enemy in the entire Jin Province.

This is a huge good thing for them...

......

As everyone knows, the First Independent Division is also making preparations.

Almost the entire division was mobilized.

In addition to the Longyan Special Forces team, which is responsible for protecting some key personnel of the division.

The first and second brigades will besiege the remaining Japanese from Sato's brigade in Malan Town.

The third and fourth brigades, the regiments directly under the division headquarters and the artillery brigade will attack the Hanzhuang area.

At the same time, teams from various districts and teams from Xiyang County have been secretly lurking in the Hanzhuang area.

There is their hiding place in the mountains, and it is impossible for the Japanese to find it.

Xiyang County was originally the headquarters of the Independent Division. Since taking Xiyang County, Zhang Yunqing built a lot of defenses...

There are also specially built positions, tunnels and air raid shelters.

At night, it was very quiet.

It's already January.

The weather is also gradually getting colder.

However, the soldiers wore thickened versions of German military coats.

Very warm.

Some soldiers from the Third and Fourth Brigades are slowly moving towards the Hanzhuang area.

This mission still gradually defeated various Japanese troops.

Attack the Hanzhuang area simultaneously from four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest.

Strive to charge without blind spots.

The three brigades and one regiment are responsible for the eastern battlefield.

The third brigade and second regiment are responsible for the western battlefield.

The fourth brigade and one regiment are responsible for the southern battlefield.

The 4th Brigade and 2nd Regiment are responsible for the northern battlefield.

The armored force was divided into four to help the four infantry regiments in auxiliary combat.

The artillery brigade's heavy artillery concentrated its firepower on the Hanzhuang area and carried out indiscriminate bombardment.

Field artillery, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery follow the main force in battle.

The anti-aircraft artillery troops were hiding, waiting for the Japanese planes to arrive.

Everything is ready.

All that was left was the final bombing.
