Japanese First Army,

The Japanese 36th Division, 37th Division, 41st Division, 114th Division, and the independent third brigade are heading towards the area where Liu Feiyang's headquarters is located.

Come together.

The Japanese frontline commander Kentaro Takemura stood on a high ground, holding a telescope to observe the latest situation of Liu Feiyang's frontline positions ahead.

The Japanese commander Kentaro Takemura observed for a while and immediately ordered the troops to prepare for his combat orders.

This is their first night attack tonight. He is the captain of the 14th Division.

"Hey! It's so quiet! What on earth do these damn Liu Feiyang's men want to do!!!"

"Why are you so quiet?"

However, after observing for a long time, the commander of the regiment, Kentaro Takemura, felt very surprised by the situation in Liu Feiyang's position.

So he was also very uneasy and muttered to himself.

"Could it be because these Chinese troops know about our army and are coming to encircle them more and more, so they are afraid and planning to escape from our encirclement?"

But when the commander Kentaro Takemura finished his words, the other commander Takeyoshi Yamamoto said expectantly.

"Probably not! During the day today, the counterattack of these damn China Army's heavy firepower weapons and equipment was still very fierce! Our Imperial Army's troops also suffered a lot of casualties from his bombings!"

"Otherwise we wouldn't have evacuated to a safer distance away from their frontline positions!"

"I'm just worried about their heavy firepower and artillery fire coverage!"

"So I don't think they can escape like this, and if they want to escape, it's already too late now!"

"Because the follow-up armies of our Imperial Army have been continuously dispatched to surround all areas around here!"

"It is almost impossible for them to escape without alerting our troops who are surrounding them!"

As soon as Captain Goyoshi Yamamoto finished speaking, Captain Kentaro Takemura shook his head in disagreement and said in denial.

"Sigh! What you said is right!"

"Then what do you think these Chinese troops want to do? It's already night now. They shouldn't still want to use artillery fire to cover and bomb us, right? Can their artillery units still have as good a sight as during the day? Even if

Even if we use flares, it might not be possible during the day!"

"Then will our next night attack tonight go ahead as scheduled?"

After co-captain Kentaro Takemura finished his answer, co-captain Takeyoshi Yamamoto also felt that what the other party said was right and responded.

"I think we still need to carry out night attacks. During the day, we have no chance to break into the cities held by the Chinese Army. Now we only have night attacks, which will be easier. At least we don't have to dodge their heavy artillery groups.

Let’s bomb!”

"But it's hard to say, because these damn China Army's artillery shells seem to never be exhausted, and they are fired again and again. It is really strange. There is no logistics supply situation for the normal army. Is it possible that the city they are holding on to

Are there a large number of cannonballs stored inside? Otherwise, this matter cannot be explained clearly!"

When commander Takeyoshi Yamamoto asked whether he wanted to continue the night raid, commander Kentaro Takemura immediately shook his head.

"It's possible, otherwise how can we explain that they have so many artillery shells!"

"If these damn Chinese troops didn't have seemingly endless stocks of artillery shells, our imperial army would have already invaded their city and killed them and all the Chinese people inside.

All the wealth and women have been taken away!"

"So this is the biggest headache for us when we were repelled!"

Commander Takemura Kentaro said that there were a lot of artillery shells stored in Liu Feiyang's city. Commander Takeyoshi Yamamoto also agreed very much.

"Your Majesty the Regiment, Your Excellency the Division Commander, you have issued the order for night attack operations. Let us launch an attack together with the 5th Regiment immediately!"

At this time, communications officer Nagayama Kozo suddenly appeared behind the commander Kentaro Takemura and conveyed to him the night attack order from the new division commander of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Iseki Takamasa.

The 14th Division consists of the 53rd Osaka Infantry Regiment, the 54th Zentsuji Infantry Regiment, the 55th Hiroshima Infantry Regiment, and the 56th Kumamoto Infantry Regiment.

However, now there are more 3rd Wing and 5th Wing.

However, these two regiments are only temporarily here to support the operation. Once the encirclement and suppression of Liu Feiyang's troops are completed, they will not continue to stay in the 14th Division.

Instead, they will be transferred to other divisions.

"Yeah! I know!"

"The two of us troops will conduct a night attack soon!"

"Go back and tell the division commander, so that he can rest assured!"

Regarding the notification from communications officer Nagayama Kozoya, commander Kentaro Takemura responded readily.

"Hai!"

"I will! Your Majesty the Alliance!"

Communications officer Nagayama Kozo also responded quickly.

Then he quickly turned around and left. Captain Kentaro Takemura and captain Takeyoshi Yamamoto looked at each other, and then they nodded lightly and immediately commanded their troops to launch a night attack.

Attacked,

Although both of them disliked each other, the new division commander of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Iguchi Takashi, was used as cannon fodder to command operations.

But for Japanese military officers, they could only obey orders from their superiors to fight.

If you disobey, you will die.

So soon the two captains of the regiment cooperated and dispatched a vanguard of the Japanese army, which consisted of more than a thousand small Japanese soldiers. They moved in groups towards Liu Feiyang's position and carried out a night attack.

This is also their exploratory attack. They want to see the military performance of Liu Feiyang's troops in night attack operations and the strength of their counterattack capabilities.

The Japanese's exploratory attack went smoothly and everything went on very calmly.

Even after more than ten minutes had passed, when the Japanese troops were getting closer and closer to the first warning point on the front line, Liu Feiyang's side was still very quiet.

It was as if there was no one there, it was so quiet.

Or maybe it's like everyone is asleep and everything is silent.

"Don't you think all these Chinese troops are sleeping? How come our forward troops are so close to their strongholds, but there is still no movement or sound?"

"This is very abnormal! What do you think, Takemura-kun!"

When he saw that his Japanese troops were getting closer and closer to Liu Feiyang's stronghold, but there was still no movement, commander Goyoshi Yamamoto became very nervous and confused, and asked commander Kentaro Takemura.

"Continue to move our troops forward and prepare to launch the first round of probing attacks!"

"Only after attacking will you know the result!"

"Everything is unknown now, so we can't simply speculate on the truth of the matter!"

In response to the nervous inquiry from Captain Takeyoshi Yamamoto, Captain Kentaro Takemura responded equally nervously.

However, he has also made up his mind to launch an offensive operation.

"Well! That's all we can do now!"

"Then attack immediately!"

After hearing this, Captain Takeyoshi Yamamoto could only nod his head in agreement.

So he also quickly dispatched a communications unit to convey the combat order for an immediate night attack to the forward troops for a tentative attack.

So soon, as soon as the combat order was conveyed, the Japanese forward troops who had arrived at Liu Feiyang's frontline stronghold immediately launched a night attack without thinking.

However, when these Japanese troops rushed into the stronghold as if they were crazy, they were all dumbfounded.

Because all the frontline strongholds where Liu Feiyang is stationed are made of dummies.
Chapter completed!
