Longhu Pass, Ito Brigade Headquarters.

Standing in front of a map, Commander Ito Brigade was carefully considering the military situation.

According to the combat deployment of the division headquarters, the four regiments of Ito's brigade have been divided into four groups and swept towards the Dabie Mountains.

Facing the front of Ito's brigade, the Chinese army was completely defeated.

The four regiments basically followed the original route, like an army of tigers and wolves chasing the Chinese army and tearing them apart.

It's just that the Ma Tian United team is not restless at all.

According to intelligence, Captain Asada was eager to show his face to the entire Ito brigade in order to remove his label as a second-rate unit, so he took the risk and took a shortcut through Yizi Valley, intending to take a shortcut to seize Xitang Town.

However, the terrain of Yizi Valley is very complicated. If the Chinese Army sets up an ambush here, then the Ma Tian Regiment may not be able to survive and walk away!

The more Captain Ito thought about it, the more something was wrong. The Asada Alliance was probably in danger.

Moreover, the 38th Wing has not yet reached the designated position to meet the Asada Wing.

If something goes wrong with the Mada United team at this time, the 38th Regiment is not sure whether it can quickly come to the aid of the Mada United team.

While he was thinking, the chief of staff walked in from outside the command room.

Giving a military salute to Brigade Commander Ito, Chief of Staff Matsushima shouted: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! As expected, the Asada Regiment was ambushed by the Chinese Army in Yizi Valley. The Chief of Staff of the 96th Regiment just wanted to request us

support!"

With a look of anger on his face, Captain Ito shouted: "Baga Yalu! This Asada is too eager for success. He will sacrifice the lives of his subordinates in order to seize the battle glory. He is extremely stupid!"

Walking to a map, Chief of Staff Matsushima shouted: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, now that things have happened, we must find a way to rescue the Asada Regiment!"

Pointing to the Pear Blossom Village on the map, Captain Ito sighed and shouted: "Where is the 36th Regiment now?"

Chief of Staff Matsushima shouted: "After receiving the telegram, Mr. Aoki has not yet sent a reply to our brigade headquarters!"

With a startled look in his eyes, Captain Ito shouted: "Baga, what does this Aoki-kun want to do?"

Chief of Staff Matsushima shouted: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, in order to buy time, I believe Mr. Aoki may still be on the way, and it is not convenient to call back at this time!"

Commander Ito Brigade warned: "The communication troops and communication detachment must keep radio calls. Once the Aoki Regiment is contacted, they must rush to Lihua Village immediately!"

The Japanese communications soldier shouted in response: "Hai!"

At this time, Chief of Staff Matsushima shouted again: "Your Majesty, Brigade Commander, in order to reduce the defensive pressure on the Asada Wing! We must request support from the Imperial Air Force in Peiping!"

The commander of the Ito Brigade shouted: "Well! The highlands on both sides of the valley are the key to whether the Asada Wing can turn the crisis around. We must send out the air force for bombing!"

The key to the valley ambush is the commanding heights.

The commanding heights pose the greatest threat to the Ma Tian United team.

If the Imperial Air Force's fighter jets carry out fixed-point bombing on the commanding heights of the Yizi Valley battlefield at this time, then the Matian Wing can turn the situation around and may even be able to counterattack the Chinese Army.

After a pause, Commander Ito raised his voice and shouted: "Signal Corps!"

A Japanese communications soldier responded: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

Commander Ito Brigade shouted: "Immediately send a telegram to the Peiping Imperial Air Force Base and request the 3rd Air Force Group to immediately dispatch fighter jets to fly over Yizigu for support operations!"

The Japanese communications soldier responded: "Yes!"

…

Xitang Town is filled with murderous intent and the sound of gunfire is loud.

A brigade of the 38th Wing is launching its fifth attack on the outer field positions of the Independent 7th Brigade!

In the first four attacks, the 7th Independent Brigade defended very tenaciously.

No matter how fierce the Japanese soldiers attack, the position of the 7th Independent Brigade is still as stable as Mount Tai.

On the contrary, the Japs of the 38th Regiment lost at least 200 people.

Captain Qingmu did not expect that the Chinese army had been defeated, so why would there be such a daring force in Xitang Town?

However, in order to defend the honor of the 38th Regiment, Captain Aoki was determined to capture Xitang Town.

With a sudden draw of his saber, Captain Aoki roared at the top of his voice: "Warriors of the First Battalion! Idiot's cock! Idiot's cock!"

Upon hearing the order, several Type 92 heavy machine guns deployed on both sides of the battlefield rained down bullets on the field fortifications of the Independent 7th Brigade!

Da da da!

Almost at the same time, the Japanese rifle group, light machine gun group and grenade group of the first brigade took turns to cover and moved forward to attack!

In the first four attacks, Captain Aoki clearly underestimated the enemy. He believed that the Chinese army's field fortifications were simply vulnerable, and they could easily occupy it with just one squadron.

Who would have expected that the Chinese army's defense in the field fortifications would be so tight, and the Japanese would fail in four battles.

Therefore, Captain Aoki can only invest a brigade-level force at one time.

Looking at the battle formation with a telescope, Captain Aoki shouted: "If we had used a brigade earlier, this battle would not have ended like this!"

The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we lack the necessary reconnaissance of the enemy's situation. The reason is that we underestimate the enemy too much!"

Sighing slightly, Captain Qingmu shouted: "Underestimating the enemy is a taboo for military strategists. Once we capture Xitang Town, I will let the soldiers loot Xitang for three days to quell the soldiers' complaints!"

While the two were talking, the Japs from the First Brigade had already broken through the outer positions of the 7th Independent Brigade.

The Japanese soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the 7th Independent Brigade.

In a hand-to-hand fight, the Japanese soldiers clearly had the upper hand.

Within ten minutes, the outer defense line of the 7th Independent Brigade collapsed.

The remaining soldiers of the 7th Independent Brigade retreated towards the city walls of Xitang Town!

Seeing this scene, the chief of staff on the side shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we have occupied the outer position!"

With a satisfied smile on his face, Captain Qingmu shouted: "Yo Xi! Flag soldiers, order the first brigade to clean up the battlefield quickly and prepare to attack the wall of Xitang Town!"

After agreeing, the flagman who walked to a high ground took out two triangular signal flags and issued an order to the first brigade in the distance!

Soon, the first brigade responded to the semaphore and stood by as ordered.

Captain Qingmu called to the artillery squadron leader again: "Artillery, immediately bombard the wall of Xitang Town for fifteen minutes!"

The artillery squadron leader shouted in response: "Hai!"

The next moment, rows of shells roared towards Xitang Town.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Rumble, rumble!

Fifteen minutes later, gaps were opened in the wall of Xitang Town.

The Japs from the first brigade, shouting "Large", poured into the gap in the city wall of Xitang Town.

Seeing this scene, Captain Aoki's lips burst into a smile.

No matter how tenacious the Chinese army in Xitang Town fought at the beginning, once Captain Aoki became serious, everything would be in vain.

Now, Captain Aoki is determined to win, and it is only a matter of time before he captures Xitang Town.

At this moment, the chief of staff came towards Captain Aoki with a telegram from the brigade headquarters!
Chapter completed!
