Chapter 142: Tonight's Main Event

Jin Jizhong saw Yu Hua calling him, and he looked at Yu Hua: "What is it?"

Yu Hua grinned and said: "How about... this battle, Regimental Commander Jin, you take command?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Jizhong immediately shook his head: "That won't do, Brother Yu."

"I know my own capabilities well enough."

"This time, my Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is engaging the little devils' 109th Division in battle."

"This is a major event that the entire nation's populace is watching."

"It is better for you, Brother Yu, to command it yourself."

There are only 8 Type 92 Infantry Guns.

These aircraft all take off from either Baozhou Airport or Shimen Airport in the 1st War Zone.

"The vanguard of the 31st Brigade is less than one kilometer away from us."

This group of devils is carrying a small amount of heavy equipment and advancing rapidly toward Qiaotou Village.

"Both regiments also have mortars."

Yu Hua looked at the sky, "I reckon, in another hour."

It is currently four o'clock in the afternoon; by the time the devil planes return and come back to scout, it will already be dusk.

"You stand guard for a little while first; I'll bring some sweet potatoes and come stand guard with you."

Through observation with his telescope, Guteng Changying discovered that the Sichuan Army soldiers in Qiaotou Village were relatively lax in their defenses.

The Sichuan Army had been busy all night on the road in the Shimen Village area.

Tonight, these explosives and landmines will be the main event.

Not a single living soul will be left among the civilians in the village.

Bai Zhangsheng is capable of completing the Group Army's operational deployment.

"I will stand guard."

Generally, they can only cover the ground infantry's advance for one hour.

"Regimental Commander!"

With the flames of war imminent, Yu Hua forcibly relocated these hundred or so households.

Now that the 109th Division's Artillery Regiment possesses dozens of cannons, how could this not make Jin Jizhong envious?

The longer the distance, the shorter the devil planes' loitering time.

"It is estimated that they will arrive in ten minutes."

After everyone finished eating, they laid down and went to sleep.

Ten minutes later!

Yu Hua took a company of soldiers and arrived at the road outside Shimen Village.

After eating a little something, Yu Hua walked out of the room.

Yu Hua has prepared things here just about enough.

After all, once the little devils camp in this village.

Now, if the devil infantry wants air cover.

Regimental Commander Bai Zhangsheng is also under great pressure at this moment.

Yu Hua waved his hand: "If I tell you to go, then go; why so much nonsense?"

To prevent the devils from discovering anything unusual, everything was repaired, and at a glance, it looked just like it did before.

Arriving inside the room, Wei Dayong dug two sweet potatoes out from beside the fire.

"There is a big battle tonight, and I need you to coordinate the command."

Guteng Changying shouted at his Adjutant: "Telescope?"

He specifically ordered each regiment to carry more weapons and ammunition, and less rations.

Arriving at the village entrance, "Dayong, you go eat something."

12 Type 92 Infantry Guns, just enough to form an artillery battalion.

Since leaving Sichuan, with Yu Hua's help, the Sichuan Army was the first to complete their re-equipment, and today, after entering Jin Province.

They were not split up and used by the 2nd War Zone, and they also annihilated the Hashimoto Detachment.

According to the Group Army's deployment, his regiment is to pretend to fiercely block the devils here.

This evening, the soldiers were all busy checking the lines.

Because these two airports are far away.

Since the sweet potatoes had just come out of the fire, Wei Dayong pinched one with his hand and found it was extremely hot.

After the devil planes take off and arrive at the Jin Province Battlefield, their loitering time is limited.

Sun Zhangfeng took out the notebook in his hand, "Regimental Commander, according to our observations."

After spending a long time checking, Yu Hua found no problems.

Jin Jizhong stopped his muttering.

"Are they carrying a large amount of heavy weapons?"

In order to quickly cut off the 22nd Group Army's defensive line, Guteng Changying.

Just like that, Yu Hua's Reinforced Battalion and Jin Jizhong's regiment remained hidden in the woods.

"The entire brigade does not have 75mm Mountain Guns or Field Guns."

He took out his towel, wrapped the sweet potatoes in it, then quickly left the room and arrived at the village entrance.

"The devils' vanguard will appear."

Moreover, as the 109th Division continues to push forward, the closer they get to Donghui Town.

He personally checked the line.

The soldiers on guard duty were also listless, and some were even sleeping.

"Give me two sweet potatoes; I'll eat a little to pad my stomach."

Without aerial reconnaissance, Yu Hua decided to take a portion of his men out of the woods.

This thing is rare; the entire Group Army only has four 75mm Type 41 Mountain Guns.

Checking the time, ten minutes later, which would be four o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Zhangsheng said: "What about the Japanese Weaponry?"

Airplanes can only provide a rough overview.

Every Sichuan Army soldier refers to Yu Hua as a modern-day Liu Bowen or Zhuge Liang.

Then they rout and withdraw from the battlefield!

At present, the Sichuan Army has just finished re-equipping, mostly with 82mm Mortars.

Therefore, the Japanese airplanes are conducting reconnaissance on the march route of the 109th Division.

Yu Hua checked the time.

"Battalion Commander!"

Jin Jizhong still missed him very much.

He then took a Platoon of the Sichuan Army to Shimen Village to rest for a while.

Not a single mistake can occur, otherwise it will be very unfavorable for the Sichuan Army's subsequent actions.

This is the last aerial reconnaissance by the Japanese airplanes today.

A Japanese Major immediately handed the Telescope to Guteng Changying.

"As for me... I'll just quietly listen to your orders."

His Regiment is a newly formed regiment, and the unit's combat effectiveness is not very good.

"Guteng Changying's Brigade-attached Artillery Battalion only carries 12 Type 92 Infantry Guns."

Wei Dayong came to Yu Hua's side: "Tell me, when will the Japanese arrive today?"

After speaking briefly with Jin Jizhong.

Aside from a small amount of heavy equipment, the entire 31st Brigade only carries three days of rations.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhangsheng felt slightly better knowing there were no Mountain Field Guns.

Ever since the airfields in Jin Province were raided by the 18th Group Army.

Shimen Village is a village with five hundred households.

Yu Hua felt slightly more relaxed himself.

The 31st Brigade, which was detached from the 109th Division.

He saw the Japanese airplane emit a "buzzing" roar, then flap its wings and fly away.

Wei Dayong gave a simple, honest smile, "Alright, Battalion Commander!"

In his heart, regarding the Japanese Type 92 105mm Howitzer.

Leaving behind these words, Wei Dayong trotted away.

In the woods where Yu Hua was hiding.

Qiaotou Village!

The Sichuan Army New 10th Regiment is defending here.

The Reconnaissance Company Commander of the New 10th Regiment, Sun Zhangfeng, walked quickly to the Regiment Headquarters.

Guteng Changying, the Brigade Commander, in order to penetrate the interior of the Sichuan Army as quickly as possible.

"You must get some good rest."

"Yosh!"

His Brigade only carries 12 Type 92 Infantry Guns.

After entering Qiaotou Village, they will resupply food on the spot.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is still very convinced by Yu Hua now.

The two Infantry Regiments also only carry Mortars.

When the Sichuan Army arrived here, there were still about a hundred households in the village that had not evacuated.

"The 31st Brigade marches fast, in order to ensure the efficiency of the march."

Directly beneath the road, and on both sides, were all Explosives and Landmines.

For the Japanese, every time they fight, once their rations are insufficient, they resupply on the spot.

Last time, the Hashimoto Detachment was annihilated.

Fortunately, the Japanese 31st Brigade only carries Type 92 Infantry Guns and Mortars, and besides, this time it is to lure the enemy.

Captured Type 41 Mountain Guns and Type 92 Infantry Guns.

Wei Dayong saw Yu Hua arrive and grinned: "Battalion Commander, let me handle the guard duty."

Guteng Changying nodded with satisfaction.

The defense of Qiaotou Village was indeed a loophole for the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.
