Chapter 371: No Room for Arrogance or Complacency

Jin Jizhong was waiting, feeling somewhat anxious.

He was afraid that the Japanese would be deterred by the blow and stop their advance!

If that happened, wouldn't his regiment miss out on a fight tonight!

Wang Mingzhang frowned: "Let me see!"

"It's likely this group of Japanese, having been struck by Lin Quanzhi's battalion, is now feeling apprehensive."

"They fear there is an ambush ahead and dare not advance on their own."

As Wang Mingzhang's words fell, Lin Quanzhi was seen leading his troops back into the position.

The Japanese Army battalion retreated, and the Sichuan Army units did not pursue.

They discovered that the Japanese had actually retreated to their camp under alternating cover!

Galloping all the way!

As the group detoured to the rear of Number Three Position, Yu Hua discovered that over a thousand soldiers from his Independent Brigade had already engaged in battle.

"Although constructing heavy artillery positions is troublesome, and dismantling and towing heavy artillery is quite difficult."

However, once the Japanese heavy artillerymen set up their heavy artillery.

"The scale of the battle is not small."

Upon hearing this!

Chen Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead!

The Japanese Army battalion's retreat, after leaving behind three hundred corpses, finally reached a safe position.

Fujita Shiro truly had not been able to parry it.

"Are we retreating now?"

Wang Mingzhang also issued a retreat order!

The Sichuan Army units dispersed and retreated, each heading toward their predetermined hiding spots.

Chen Qian looked at Wang Mingzhang: "That's about it; we have gained quite a lot tonight."

"Division Commander Wang!"

At the foot of the mountain!

Japanese Army commander Battalion Commander Fujita Shiro.

"The little Japanese who suffered losses dare not charge forward."

The group of Japanese Army troops that had been chasing the Guard Battalion turned back.

"Battalion Commander... Battalion Commander!"

"Brother Wang, Brother Chen!"

The 150mm and 105mm artillery pieces truly have immense power.

Because tonight was for the Independent Brigade's new recruits to practice!

Yu Hua, Chen Qian, and Wang Mingzhang, the group, mounted their horses and headed toward Number Two and Number Three Positions.

A phone call came from Number Two Position saying that the Japanese they encountered had also retreated.

Wang Mingzhang looked at Jin Jizhong, who was sitting on the ground, and chuckled: "You kid, didn't you just fail to hit the little Japanese tonight?"

Three groups of men, two groups succeeded.

But this terrain is truly not advantageous.

"Brother!"

If Segu Qi were ruthless and prepared to plow the ground with artillery to give the Sichuan Army a shock!

Like a turtle eating a weight... he is determined to use heavy artillery.

The engineers of the Jin Jizhong Regiment also began to go to the road to retrieve landmines.

Jin Jizhong saw Lin Quanzhi coming to report the situation.

"The Segaya Detachment is equipped with 12 105mm howitzers and 24 150mm heavy artillery pieces."

"Although the Guard Battalion lost quite a few brothers, the Reinforced Battalion and the Jin Jizhong Regiment 1st Battalion..."

After returning to Teng County!

The Sichuan Army's preset positions one, two, and three!

From the current firelight, one could see the shattered hillsides and broken trees.

Yu Hua emphasized to the soldiers of the Independent Brigade!

This is an army that uses schemes frequently and does not stick to conventional tactics.

During the day, after the Sichuan Army soldiers conducted reconnaissance, the place where the Japanese camped was favorable for defense.

"Listen to this sound."

Two red tornadoes suddenly appeared in the night sky.

One battalion had over three hundred men blown up by the Sichuan Army's landmines and explosives.

It was almost five o'clock in the morning!

Yu Hua, while he still had energy, gave orders to the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army in Shandong Province!

All units should pay attention to air defense today, must hide well, and do a good job of camouflage.

Immediately following that was a burst of gunfire and artillery!

"How the hell are these little Japanese so cowardly?"

"Hurry up and clean the battlefield!"

"The heavy artillery is about to enter the fray!"

"To avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Sichuan Army!"

The Japanese Communications Soldier, carrying a Shortwave Radio on his back, came to Fujita Shiro's side.

The group accelerated their marching speed once again to disengage from the battlefield.

Yu Hua nodded: "Brother, that's about enough."

Heavy Artillery fired in unison!

"After being ambushed by a burst of firepower from our Battalion, we wiped out about two hundred Japanese soldiers."

After shelling the small hillside for a while, he discovered that there were unexpectedly no Japanese pursuers behind them.

Yu Hua laughed loudly: "Hahaha..."

"We've had quite a harvest tonight."

Fujita Shiro sighed, "Order!"

At the same time, on the outskirts of Teng County!

An army hiding in a mountainous area is certainly a key focus for the Japanese Army's aviation units.

We must construct Tunnel Fortification in the mountains to evade Japanese air raids.

"By 'beating the grass to scare the snakes,' we cast a wide net and still managed to catch fish." A satisfied expression appeared on Chen Qian's face.

"However, if Segaya Qi uses this guy, at this time, according to the efficiency of the Japanese artillery..."

If the Japanese Heavy Artillery were to construct a heavy artillery position, by this time, they would be just about ready.

"We really wouldn't be able to hold out!"

Yu Hua's words also jolted Wang Mingzhang awake!

Do not become arrogant and complacent because of a temporary victory!

The Japanese Heavy Artillery still cannot be underestimated.

After Lin Quanzhi's Battalion withdrew from the small hillside, the Japanese artillery strike hit.

Otherwise, the Sichuan Army troops would be in a miserable state now!

The Number One, Two, and Three Positions were exactly within the bombardment range of the Heavy Artillery.

The Number Three Position is close to the Number One Position.

"It's fortunate we withdrew early!"

It is unfavorable for constructing large-scale artillery positions!

The Imperial Warriors, although resisting desperately and fighting back bravely.

Wang Mingzhang inquired.

Wang Mingzhang was also startled!

He felt fortunate that Yu Hua was cautious and did not linger at the previous positions.

"Under the command of the Battalion Commander, they withdrew to the camp with alternating cover."

It can be considered a decent battle result.

"They have engaged with the Japanese now!"

"You'll have a real fight on your hands!"

Now they have been ambushed by the Sichuan Army again!

Just while Yu Hua and Wang Mingzhang were talking, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade reported that the battlefield had been cleaned up.

Many new recruits!

Also braced themselves and fired at the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.

The ear-piercing sound waves made everyone's ears feel like they were about to explode.

It made Fujita Shiro thoroughly understand that the Sichuan Army troops cannot be equated to the Republic of China Army encountered previously.

The massive sound waves were like a tsunami.

Jin Jizhong sighed deeply: "Oh my!"

This time, engaging with the Sichuan Army.

"Look at these two positions and see how many Japanese we caught."

"Where is your Bushido spirit?!"

Lin Quanzhi sent a Platoon of scouts to scout the situation.

"We must leave here; if we stay too long, I fear the Japanese will retaliate."

Suddenly!

Huge explosions rang out at the Number Two preset position and the Number Three preset position.

They were outside the range of the 75 mm Artillery.

"We should still be cautious!"

Now he regrets it bitterly.

"Battalion Commander!"

Just like the Night Raid tonight.

"A Japanese Detachment pursuing the Guard Battalion."

"Around this Teng County, there are tens of thousands of the Segaya Detachment."

"Pick up all the Japanese Weaponry for me and leave this place quickly."

"Tonight, I've worked for nothing."

Before long!

The preset positions of the Sichuan Army.

"The whole army, withdraw with alternating cover!"

The main force had just walked out one kilometer when they heard a tearing sound in the air.

However, tonight, at Number Two Position and Number Three Position, such a high density of firepower.

Yu Hua also exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Once this thing fires a volley!"

"Brother!"

These landmines and explosives were not used tonight and must be retrieved.

"Let's go take a look!"

"It is estimated that these two battalions drew out quite a few Japanese Army troops in pursuit."

"The Detachment Commander is calling for us to quickly disengage from the battlefield and return to the camp."

"Just the firepower of one battalion has scared you all like this."

Just as the engineers of the Jin Jizhong Regiment were taking action.

The 122nd Division in Teng County took the initiative to launch a Night Raid on the Japanese Army Segaya Detachment.

The arrogant devils will certainly not let this rest.
