    Out of anger, Kimura Hy身taro immediately ordered his 2213th Regiment Commander Yamada Naojiro Hatsumi to maintain the order of the troops, and at the same time sent a division search team to search and strike in the direction of the bullets.

    Following Kimura Hy身taro*s order, more than two hundred Japanese elites came to kill the special forces members in the direction where they were hiding!

    However, as soon as these Japanese soldiers moved forward less than 200 meters, there were bursts of violent explosions.

    It turned out that the soldiers of the Japanese search team stepped on the mines planted by the special forces members, which caused the explosion.

    The landmines are not very dense, but the explosion power of each one is not small!

    Fortunately, the Japs were searching and advancing, and the troops were not very dense, so this round of mines did not cause them much damage. Only three or four unlucky ones were killed and injured.

    Despite this, the little devil was still startled, and taking this opportunity, the special forces members successfully withdrew!

    After a long time, Kimura Hy身taro*s troops finally regained their stability and continued to move forward!

    But from this moment on, the snipers of the Chinese army followed the Japanese and puppet troops closely like ghosts, making everyone panic with cold shots and landmines and bombs from time to time.

    In order to ensure the safety of the little devils, Kimura Hy身taro immediately asked the infantry brigade of the pseudo-Shandong Security Army to walk in front, and the Japanese army followed behind. But even so, the troop's marching speed was still as slow as a snail.

    In three hours, the Japanese army only moved forward less than ten kilometers. You must know that at normal speed, three hours is enough for the little devils to march more than twenty kilometers. If they march in a hurry, thirty kilometers is possible.

    Just when the little devil arrived at a mountain pass behind Xiaowangzhuang, news suddenly came from the search team in front that a Chinese army's defensive position was discovered a few kilometers ahead.

    Although it was already dark at this time, you could still clearly see the position of the Chinese army!

    After receiving the report from the search team, Kimura Hy身taro was not angry, but was happy.

    To be honest, Kimura Hy身taro is not afraid of a direct confrontation with the Chinese army. He is even looking forward to it. What he fears most is the situation like this afternoon when he wanted to fight but could not see the enemy, this kind of hammer hitting cotton.  It feels so suffocating.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    Only in this way will the Imperial Japanese Army have a chance to wipe out all these hateful gangs/people!

    In view of this, Kimura Hy身taro immediately ordered the troops to set up camp at Xiaowangzhuang, and then ordered the 2213th Regiment to rush to the small mountain pass in front to test how strong the Chinese army's defense line was.

    Colonel Naojiro Yamada, commander of the 213th Infantry Regiment, is 42 years old and has more than 25 years of military service. If you include the years in the Army Infant School, he has been in uniform for more than 30 years.

    Years of training have allowed Yamada to grow from an immature boy into a qualified soldier, and also developed his cold and cruel character!

    In his opinion, all soldiers should fight for the will of His Majesty the Emperor, including himself, even if it costs his life!

    For this reason, he not only sent all three of his sons to serve in the army, but also all the younger members of his father-in-law's family.

    Yamada*s behavior is very common in the Japanese military. Many people and even all the adult men in their families are serving in the military, while their children are studying in military schools and will join the army after graduation.

    However, unlike the Japanese army, which is full of arrogance and arrogance, although Colonel Yamada Naojiro also looks down on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, because he has served in the Kwantung Army in the Northeast region and has been fighting against the Anti-Japanese Alliance and bandits in the Northeast region all year round,  We know that China is not as vulnerable as those domestic politicians claim.

    On the contrary, China is vast and rich in resources. They have five times the population of the empire and dozens of times the land area of ??the empire. Even China*s ancient civilization is far older than the Empire of Japan, so he has a clear understanding of the Sino-Japanese war.

    He knows that although the Imperial Army has achieved brilliant results now, it has occupied one-third of the country in less than two years, and even captured the capital of China.

    However, as long as the Chinese government does not surrender or surrender for one day, the empire will not be able to end this war.

    Even more so, Colonel Yamada Naojiro also knew that the Empire of Japan would not be able to force the Chinese government to surrender in a short period of time, because neither the nominal government of China nor the various local warlordsThe armed forces led by political parties have a strong will to resist.

    What's even more frightening is that they seem to be adapting to this war so quickly that the imperial government has to issue war mobilization orders to the country again and again, and the strength of the front-line troops has also expanded again and again, from the initial 200,000 to 5  One hundred thousand people, and now 1.2 million.

    "However, the economy of the Empire of Japan has not improved as a result. Instead, it has worsened. The living standards of the domestic people are also declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.

    It is conceivable that the domestic economy and resources simply do not allow the empire to engage in a long-term large-scale war. The final outcome of this war is still unclear.

    As a soldier, Yamada has always felt that the only thing he can do is to fight every battle well. Only by wiping out all the troops in front of him can the Empire of Japan win this battle for national destiny.

    After receiving the order, Colonel Yamada Naojiro immediately took all his troops and rushed to the mountain pass in front.

    However, when they arrived at the end of the field, Yamada Naojiro was startled by the terrain in front of him.

    I saw that the location of the Chinese army's defensive position was very clever. The position was built on a hillside 70 to 80 meters high. The top of the hill was not high or steep, but it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

    The distance from the bottom of the mountain to the hillside is not very far, but it is still two to three hundred meters, which is exactly the effective range of the Type 38 rifle.

    In other words, as long as the Imperial Japanese Army stands at the foot of the mountain, they will be attacked!

    ※ Moreover, Colonel Yamada also saw more than a dozen machine gun positions on the garrison position. These machine gun positions were staggered forward and backward. Once a crossfire was formed, the soldiers below would not even think of rushing up.

    Therefore, the moment he saw the defenders' position, Yamada had the urge to turn around and leave immediately!

    It can be imagined that under such terrain conditions, if you want to attack and capture this defensive position, the casualties will inevitably be beyond imagination.

    "However, Colonel Yamada knew that he had no choice, because this mountain pass was the only way to the hinterland of Xiong'er Mountain, and there was no way around it.

    Before the Shinozuka Regiment and the 6th Independent Mixed Brigade could break through, they could only bite the bullet and attack, no matter how heavy the casualties were, there was nothing they could do.

    Standing on the hilltop opposite the garrison position, Osaka Yamada remained silent for a long time, but several of his subordinate captains saw that the hand of the commander holding the telescope was trembling slightly.

    They who are familiar with the character of the commander know that the Chinese army in front of them is not simple, because the commander will only act like this when he is the most serious and worried. Obviously, the defenders on the opposite side have put pressure on the commander.

    ※Sir, when will we attack?§ Major Nozawa, the captain of the first battalion, asked eagerly. It was obvious that he seemed a little impatient.

    However, Colonel Yamada shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the army on the other side is extraordinary, we'll talk about it later!"

    "Sir, we are just a group of peasants, not worth mentioning. I am willing to lead my headquarters to fight, and we will definitely capture the opposing garrison position!" Major Nozawa said with confidence.

    ※Baga, it*s good to be confident, but overconfidence is arrogance!§

    Having said this, Colonel Yamada pointed to the defending position opposite and said: "Look, the position opposite is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Under such terrain conditions, even a small team of troops on the other side can stop it.  An infantry brigade of the Imperial Army attacked. And judging from the number of machine gun positions on the opposite position, it is obvious that there is more than one squadron."

    "Moreover, the opponent's fortifications are very meticulously built, the trenches are well arranged horizontally and vertically, and the light and heavy machine guns are reasonably matched. Such a position is definitely not something that ordinary commanders can lay out. If you attack rashly, you will definitely suffer big losses!"

    "Hai!"

    "I know you are not convinced, but you will know that what I said is right, and you will be grateful to me!" Colonel Yamada said lightly.

    "Sir, the division commander wants us to launch an attack as soon as possible. It will be difficult for us to stand still!" Major Noda, the captain of the second brigade, reminded.

    Thinking of the division commander*s violent temper, Colonel Yamada couldn*t help but frowned, and then said: ※Let the artillery brigade test the water first!§

    "Hai!"
