Lihua Village is fifteen kilometers away from Yizi Valley.

In the dusty weather, a Japanese army was passing by this beautiful little village.

Due to their eagerness to march, the Japanese soldiers did not have time to ruin this small village except to replenish drinking water and food.

Standing on a hillside, Captain Ma Tian was looking into the distance with a telescope.

Although the Ma Tian Regiment is a second-rate unit of the 9th Division, Captain Ma Tian Regiment is a competitive commander.

Other elite regiments have always looked down upon the Asada Regiment, so Captain Asada Regiment must seize the opportunity this time and establish military merit. Only in this way can he raise his eyebrows in the entire Ninth Division!

Therefore, since the division headquarters issued the order to pursue the China Army, the Matian Regiment has always been ahead of other regiments.

So far, the Matian regiment has annihilated more than 500 Chinese troops, and its combat achievements are almost catching up with the elite regiment!

Now, as long as they fight one more battle, the Matian Regiment's military exploits will rank among the top three in the entire Ninth Division.

Putting down the telescope in front of his eyes, Captain Asada asked in a deep voice: "Yoshizawa-kun, what's ahead?"

Chief of Staff Yoshizawa shouted in response: "Report to the commander, there is a valley ahead! The terrain is very dangerous. In order to march safely, I suggest the commander to take a detour from Yema Village in the south!"

After a slight hesitation, Captain Ma Tian shouted in a deep voice: "If we take a detour to Yema Village, will it take more time than before?"

Chief of Staff Yoshizawa shouted in response: "Hai! If you go directly to Yizi Valley, it only takes three hours to get to Xitang Town, but if you take a detour to Yema Village, you may have to walk for six hours!"

With a look in his eyes, Captain Ma Tian shouted: "Time is military merit. If we bypass Yema Village, the merit of winning Xitang Town will be taken away by other regiments! Our 96th Regiment will lose the opportunity to be proud again!"

With a hesitant look on his face, Chief of Staff Yoshizawa shouted: "But Yizigu is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If an army sets up an ambush here, then our regiment will suffer. If we encounter the Chinese army,

It’s hard to say that it’s not impossible for the whole army to be annihilated!”

Waving to Chief of Staff Yoshizawa, Captain Asada shouted: "Our Ninth Division is at its peak, but the Chinese Army is frightened and they are just running away. How can they still have the courage to kill us?

!Yoshizawa-kun, you are still too cautious after all!"

Chief of Staff Yoshizawa shouted: "But the commander of the regiment and the division commander have repeatedly emphasized that all units must cooperate with each other and must not underestimate the enemy!"

With a cold snort, Captain Ma Tian shouted: "Just listen to these orders. Besides, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly. If we don't seize the time, the Chinese Army will soon get rid of our pursuit!"

Chief of Staff Yoshizawa shouted: "Liant Commander, then we have to inform the brigade commander too!"

Captain Ma Tian shouted: "There will be some consequences for the foreign troops, communications soldiers, turn off the radio and maintain radio silence!"

The Japanese communications soldier agreed and turned off the military radio he carried with him.

The next moment, Captain Ma Tian raised his voice and shouted: "The 96th Wing, target Yizi Valley, speed up!"

Several Japanese cavalrymen immediately galloped forward and conveyed Captain Ma Tian's orders to the various brigades.

Upon hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers, who were marching at a regular pace, immediately quickened their pace.

…

Yizigu ambush position.

Liang Shanhao's two infantry regiments have already set up positions on both sides of the valley.

Among them, the 182nd Regiment guarded the high ground on the left, while the 183rd Regiment guarded the steep slope on the right.

The two infantry regiments, one on the left and one on the right, supported each other to form a pocket formation containing the little devils.

In order to ensure the success of this blockade, Liang Shanhao personally went to the front line of Yizi Valley to take command.

At this time, Liang Shanhao was observing the enemy's situation in a trench on a hillside.

The scouts have been released, but so far there is no news.

I wonder if the little devil has discovered what is right about Yizigu?

However, Liang Shanhao judged from his military intuition that the Japanese would definitely enter Yizigu today.

Frowning slightly, the chief of staff on the side shouted: "Master, the reconnaissance team has been out for so long, could something have happened? Should we cancel the battle plan?"

Looking back at the Chief of Staff, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Chief of Staff, don't be anxious. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. There is a war coming soon, so don't say anything that shakes the morale of the army!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Yes!"

While the two were talking, two infantry regiment commanders came to Liang Shanhao's side.

They gave Liang Shanhao a military salute in unison, and the two regiment leaders shouted: "Regiment seat!"

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Liang Shanhao shouted: "How are the positions of your two regiments arranged?"

Commander Jiao shouted: "Master, everything has been arranged according to your instructions, and the machine guns on Highland 639 have also been deployed! Don't worry, as long as the little devils dare to rush up, I promise to kill one one, and kill two pairs."

!”

Commander Meng also shouted: "Master! The Maxim heavy machine guns are also deployed on Highland 520. In addition to the heavy machine guns, I also have mortars as flank cover firepower. I can guarantee that Highland 520 will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

With a satisfied smile on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Although we have seized the favorable terrain, the combat quality of the Japanese soldiers is no joke. Once the battle gets fierce, I hope you will hold on to these two commanding heights."

.”

The two regiment leaders looked at each other and immediately responded in unison: "Commander! Please rest assured, even if we fight to the last soldier, we will definitely hold the commanding heights in our hands!"

At this time, the chief of staff who had been looking at the mouth of the valley shouted: "Master! Our scouts are back! They are back!"

Liang Shanhao took the telescope and took a look, and sure enough, the six-person reconnaissance team was back intact!

This means that the Japanese have not discovered that there is an ambush here.

At this point, both Liang Shanhao and the chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Shanhao shouted seriously: "Captain Jiao and Commander Meng should be coming in. They will return to their respective positions immediately and tell the soldiers to stay hidden!"

After agreeing, the two regiment leaders quickly returned to their respective positions.

Panting, he walked to the command post. The reconnaissance squad leader gave Liang Shanhao a military salute: "Reporter! A large number of Japanese have been found near Lihua Village!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Do you see clearly? How many little devils are there?"

The reconnaissance squad leader shouted: "There are about four thousand people in a regiment!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "The Japanese have no troops stationed in Lihua Village, right?"

Shaking his head, the reconnaissance squad leader shouted: "No, these Japs are advancing very quickly."

With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Great!"

With a confused look on his face, the chief of staff shouted: "Master! Have you thought of another clever trick?"

Without giving a direct answer at all, Liang Shanhao shouted: "This is not a great move, communications soldier, call me the commander of the reinforced battalion!"
