Chapter 456: This is the Intuition of War

After thinking for a long time, Shanyuan Dashan agreed to Yamamoto Ichiki's request: "Yosh."

"Yamamoto-kun!" He looked toward Yamamoto Ichiki: "I will give you a squad of Imperial Warriors; you must destroy the Central Army's command post for me."

"Hai!" Yamamoto Ichiki bowed and scraped: "Brigade Commander, please rest assured, this time I will certainly wash away my shame!"

"Yosh!" Shanyuan Dashan nodded with satisfaction: "Since that is the case, I shall await good news here!"

After receiving Shanyuan Dashan's order, Yamamoto Ichiki immediately searched for a squad of Japanese soldiers with special skills from the Independent Mixed Brigade's guard unit.

This squad of Japanese soldiers were either top-tier in hand-to-hand combat, or played with flying knives with great skill, or had extremely precise marksmanship—even more formidable than ordinary Japanese soldiers!

Yamamoto Ichiki felt a bit of confidence in his heart regarding this temporarily assembled squad.

The two Regimental Commanders on the third line of defense were preparing to dispatch two Battalions to withdraw from their positions and go to the rear to check on and support the command post.

On the frontal and flank positions, the movements of the Central Army soldiers were also discovered by the Japanese Army of the Independent Mixed Brigade.

On the cliff, the two Platoons of the Central Army guarding the rear of the command post were simply wiped out by Yamamoto Ichiki.

Inside the command post, there were still some Staff Officers, Communications Soldiers, and others; everyone knew that shots had been fired behind the cliff and were preparing to relocate, but only a small portion of the people had been transferred so far.

"I don't believe it; do these Japanese soldiers have three heads and six arms or something!"

At this time, on the front and flanks of Highland 780 and 781, the Central Army soldiers on the positions also discovered that the Japanese Army's frontal movements were quite large, but their attack intensity was clearly not as strong as before.

"Damn it... have these Japanese soldiers grown wings?"

First, among the Central Army's ranks, various intelligence indicated that the Chuan Army's military development was slightly better than the Central Army's.

"Notify the Guard Battalion, have them outflank toward the cliff, and wipe out this group of Japanese soldiers for me!"

After hearing this, Wang Yaowu put down the Telescope in his hand: "Damn it... what kind of trick are these little devils playing!?"

This resulted in the command post not being completely wiped out by the Japanese Army, allowing a portion of the soldiers and officers to withdraw.

Therefore, Yamamoto Ichiki had great confidence in this raid on the Central Army's command post.

The first group of twelve Special Forces members successfully arrived on the cliff, immediately set up a perimeter, and then signaled the squad of Japanese soldiers below.

With a few long bursts of fire, another group of Central Army soldiers was seen falling; the Central Army's firepower was completely suppressed by the Japanese Army.

Seeing the first group of Special Forces successfully reach the cliff, and that there were no Central Army soldiers guarding the surroundings, Yamamoto Ichiki's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

However, no one expected the Japanese Army to arrive so quickly, causing many people to be killed by incoming Grenades before they could even relocate.

Coupled with the fact that Yamamoto Ichiki's Special Forces were equipped with German-made Submachine Guns, their continuous firepower was more powerful than bolt-action Rifles.

Shanyuan Dashan at the command post also received the soldiers' report, and he shouted happily: "Yosh."

The two Platoons of brothers were wiped out by Yamamoto Ichiki's men in less than five minutes; without the obstruction of these two Platoons, Yamamoto Ichiki's men advanced rapidly.

The antenna erected at the Lianhe Zhihui Bu allowed Yamamoto Ichiki to confirm that this was the Central Army's command post.

"Division Commander!"

The remaining Feng Shengfa and Li Wen were also prepared to go, but Li Zhengxian and Wang Yaowu spoke up, and to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, they left the two of them behind to reorganize the command post and direct the battle.

The commanders on the third line of defense at Highland 780 and 781 became a bit anxious when they saw problems arising at the rear command post.

The four of them said aloud, and then after some thought, everyone said: "Let's go to the front line and take a look to see what kind of trick the Japanese Army is playing."

This time, after the opposing Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade used artillery strikes, the infantry force they sent out was not as large as before.

"Damn it... so the little devils' target was us!"

Wang Yaowu and the others had just left the Lianhe Zhihui Bu and hadn't walked five hundred meters when the sounds of gunfire and artillery came from behind the command post.

Below the cliff!

Yamamoto Ichiki's Special Forces members began throwing ropes upward, and after confirming they were hooked securely, Yamamoto Ichiki first had his Special Forces members climb up.

"Order the entire Brigade, press forward, Banzai!!"

First, Yamamoto Ichiki's unit was launching a sneak attack; the two guarding Platoons were wiped out by more than twenty men in the first round of Grenade Launcher bombardment.

"Whew, whew, whew!! ——"

According to the Japanese Army's methods, after the artillery finished shelling, the number of infantry would definitely increase, only more and not less, but this time the strength of the Independent Mixed Brigade was clearly fixed.

This situation was quickly reported to the command post by front-line officers.

"This group of Japanese soldiers is extremely strange; each one has remarkable skills, precise marksmanship, and they all have automatic weapons. Our brothers' losses are too great."

They were afraid that their Division Commander would encounter a major problem; after all, that was the Lianhe Zhihui Bu, and if a problem occurred there, everything would be over.

Li Zhengxian roared; he had just taken a look and realized a few of his trusted aides hadn't withdrawn.

"That's right, Division Commander, the brothers of the two Platoons guarding the cliff have now sacrificed themselves. If it weren't for those two Platoons, we probably wouldn't have been able to see you all."

At this moment, all four of them understood that the Japanese Army had dispatched a small unit to raid the command post.

The sounds of gunfire and artillery were constant, with Zhongzheng Rifles and Czech Light Machine Guns roaring continuously.

In their view, if there was a problem behind the command post, a large number of Japanese troops must have appeared.

"Command post!"

"They actually snuck up from the cliff."

"Boom... boom..."

A chill suddenly rose in the hearts of Wang Yaowu, Feng Shengfa, and the others; they were very fortunate that they had strengthened the security of the command post.

Sharp whistling sounds came from the sky, and countless Grenades smashed toward the Central Army's command post.

Seeing that there were not many Central Army garrison troops left, a triumphant smile appeared on Yamamoto Ichiki's cheeks.

The command post officers and soldiers who had escaped death were still feeling lingering fear as they recalled the situation just now.

"This attack intensity is clearly not right! What exactly do they want to do?"

A violent explosion occurred at the Lianhe Zhihui Bu, and countless dust and smoke swept into the sky.

In the distance, seeing this, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Yamamoto Ichiki's mouth.

"Yosh!"

Li Zhengxian and Li Wen both realized that the Japanese Army on the opposite side was acting strangely.

They were all generals who had fought the Japanese Army many times; they could tell that this attack by the Japanese Army was clearly not right.

This was a kind of intuition for war!

"Annihilate the Central Army! For the Imperial Army's Holy War, for the glory of our families, warriors, charge!!"

"Damn it... I'm taking men to go see what this bunch of devils is up to." Wang Yaowu shouted, "Guard Platoon, follow me."

Wang Yaowu and the others saw the fire burning at the Lianhe Zhihui Bu at this moment, and some people who had been evacuated in advance also arrived beside Wang Yaowu and the others.

The distance the Japanese Army had moved was now just right for using Grenade Launchers to hit the command post, so Yamamoto Ichiki concentrated his squad's Grenade Launchers and launched a bombardment against the Lianhe Zhihui Bu.

"Something's wrong!"

The second group of the Japanese Army also began to climb upward.

As Li Zhengxian's words fell, the soldiers of the Central Army moved quickly, and a Battalion of soldiers began to outflank the Japanese Army.

Feng Shengfa frowned: "Could these devils have some strategic intent? The attacks on the front and flanks clearly have the meaning of deliberate strategic concealment."

Shanyuan Dashan was beaming; the movement of the Central Army's positions made Shanyuan Dashan feel that Yamamoto Ichiki must have succeeded.

In that case, if he launched his entire Brigade now, he would certainly be able to completely take the Central Army's positions within thirty minutes.
