Before Wang Ye and Wei Xi came to shoot, the Japanese vanguard brigade had actually entered the ambush circle of the special operations brigade.

However, because Wang Ye had not fired his gun for a long time, Lin Han, Wang Xikui and others did not dare to fire, and a main battalion that cooperated to fight did not fire.

So I could only watch the Japanese pass by.

When Wang Ye and Wei Xilai finally fired, Lin Han issued an order to fire without hesitation.

In an instant, dozens of fire points lying in the cornfield, sweet potato fields and millet fields opened fire at the same time, pouring dense bullets violently onto the Japanese heads.

At this time, the Japanese vanguard's vanguard team had completely entered the ambush position, and the two sides were intertwined, so from the perspective of the Japanese, there were Eighth Route Army in all directions, and machine gun fire points in all directions. These Eighth Route Army suddenly emerged from the ground and were simply everywhere.

The Japanese didn't even know where to hide.

I didn't know where to run, so I was completely confused.

The 73rd Division's Japanese soldiers cannot compare with the 28th Division and the 1st Division's Japanese soldiers. Whether it is combat experience, tactical literacy or fighting will, they are not on the same level at all.

If it were the Japanese soldiers of the 1st Division or the 28th Division, they would be in chaos for a few seconds at most, and then they could spontaneously counterattack towards the Eighth Route Army in any direction. Some grassroots officers who responded quickly might even organize small-scale counterattacks, and it would not be ruled out that they would organize large-scale counterattacks.

But the Japanese in the 73rd Division could not do this.

The quality of the soldiers of this infantry brigade is particularly poor because they are workers.

Yes, that's right, the Japanese army has begun to recruit a large number of industrial workers to join the army.

Because the reserve troops of appropriate age have dried up and there are not even enough soldiers in the village, the Japanese base camp has been forced to recruit these industrial workers who have never been on the battlefield and have even been trained for a long time to join the army to fight, which has had a great impact on the industrial production in Japan.

The quality of these industrial workers can be imagined.

Most of them are between the ages of thirty and forty, and are still in their prime.

However, it has been ten or even twenty years since they received two years of military training. The style they developed in the army that year has long disappeared, and some have not even been enlisted in the army.

As for experience, they have never been on the battlefield before coming to China.

So, when the sound came from all directions, the Japanese were stunned on the spot.

After being stunned for about ten seconds, the Japanese finally reacted, and then their first reaction was to escape, and they were not running in one direction, but scattered in all directions, and they had no sense of direction!

To put it bluntly, the infantry brigade of the 73rd Division is so poor that it is unbelievable.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Han exclaimed repeatedly while shooting, a little unbelievable.

While shooting continuously, Wang Xikui shook his head and said, "I didn't look at it, is this a devil?"

This is completely different from the Japanese they remember. I have never seen such a weak Japanese.

A whole infantry brigade, more than a thousand Japanese infantry, was like a flock of frightened sheep. They rushed to the ambush circle of their Wolf Warriors and a main battalion. They were killed in just a quarter of an hour.

This speed is so fast that the main players of the Japanese corps behind have no time to react.

There is no way, the main force of the Japanese corps can only withdraw.

It is impossible not to withdraw, the division commander has been killed.

Both divisions of the South Cluster have lost their effective command.

...

The news soon came back to No. 11, Tieshizi Hutong, in Peking.

"What?" Okamura Yanji looked at Aomo Seizumi with shock and asked in disbelief, "Aomo Jun, did I hear it wrong?"

"Hayi." Ai Shinsan said, "Although it's unbelievable, Nan Clan did send an emergency telegram just now, Ando and Takamura Kwan have already died in their country."

After a pause, Aoshimi said again: "There is also Kamei Kwan."

Okamura Yanji was stunned there, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Okamura Yanji was completely unimaginable, how could this happen?

It is already outrageous enough to be killed by a division commander. Two division commanders were killed at the same time? There was even an infantry commander who was killed with him. Was it because he was beheaded by the Eighth Route Army?

Thinking of this, Okamura Yasuji hurriedly said, "Which special forces from the 386th Brigade did it?"

"I don't know the specifics." Youmo Jingsan shook his head and said, "The Nan Cluster only reported that it was done by two snipers of the Eighth Route Army, so he only fired three shots!"

"Haga!" Okamura's face muscles twitched violently.

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said again: "Your Mojun, what is the situation in the Nancluster now?"

Atsushi Sang San replied: "While the Nanji Cluster was beheaded, an infantry brigade of the vanguard was also ambushed and most of them died in battle. After that, the two divisions of the Nanji Cluster were forced to retreat three kilometers and build fortifications on the spot to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, because Yanagawa Jun was worried that there were three main forces near Yunqi Town."

"Yanagawa-kun?" Okamura Yasuji said, "Is it the commander of the 74th Infantry Regiment, Yukiji Yanagawa?"

"Yes." Aoshi San said, "Anto, Takamura and Kamei Kwan sacrificed their lives for the empire at the same time. Yanagawa Kwan is already the only general, and now he is temporarily in charge of the Nan Cluster."

"Damn it!" Okamura Yanji was also a little restless for a moment.

However, Okamura Yanji knew better that the more he was, the more he had to stay calm.

Taking a deep breath, Okamura Niji tried his best to calm himself down and asked Yumo Seed San: "Yumo Jun, what do you think of this attack from Nan Cluster?"

You Mo Jingsan said: "Your Excellency General, the main force of the 386th Brigade must be still killing pig mouths, so Yunqi Town only attacked the Nan Cluster, with at most one or two thousand local armed forces."

After a pause, Aoshizo said again: "As long as the Nan Cluster can calm down and reorganize the offensive, the special forces and local armed forces of the 386th Brigade will not be able to defend it no matter what."

"I think so too." Okamura Yasuji said with a heavy emphasis.

"The order will be fully taken over the command authority of the Nan Cluster."

"Tell Liuchuanjun again, I will only give him four hours. It is eleven o'clock in the morning. I must take Yunqi Town before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and then I must take Heyuan County before 10 o'clock in the evening!"

"Hayi!" The three sub-sophagus paused their heads.

...

After receiving the order from the Front Command, Yukiji Yanagawa didn't know whether to be happy or sad?

Logically speaking, he should feel sad. After all, both division commanders have died in battle. As a subordinate, he should not be happy no matter what. But in fact, Yukiji Yanagawa was indeed secretly happy.

The reason for this is also very simple, because after Ando Yoshio, Takamura Kiro and Kamei Ikhi were killed at the same time, Yukiji Yanagawa became the only surviving general in the Nan Cluster and became the supreme commander.

This means that he will be able to independently command 30,000 people in two divisions to fight.

Before, Yukiji Yanagawa dared not think about such a thing, how could it be possible?

But now, such good things have fallen firmly on his head.

So after receiving the order, Yanagawa Yukiji immediately summoned the chiefs of staff of the two divisions and prepared to hold an emergency combat meeting to discuss the next combat plan.

The chief of staff of the 73rd Division, Toshihiro Asano, and the chief of staff of the 74th Division, Koichi Akutagawa, were a little unhappy because they felt that Yoshiji Yanagawa was not qualified to command the Minami Cluster.

How can a mere infantry regiment command two divisions?

However, the order from the Front Command had already come down, and they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

At least before the new division commander took office, they had to obey Yukiji Yanagawa.

"Asano, Akutagawa," said Yukiji Yanagawa, "Your General has issued a death order to the Nan Cluster. You must take Yunqi Town before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and then you must seize Heyuan County before 10 o'clock in the evening. So, I think there is no need to set up camp and waste time, just launch a strong attack."

"Agree!" Asano Shunhiro had no dissatisfaction with this.

Akutagawa Kyuichi nodded and said, "I agree to attack directly."

"Yoxi." The opinions were unanimous, and Yukiji Yanagawa seemed very happy.

Because Yukiji Yanagawa felt that this was undoubtedly an extremely good start, which means that he had initially won the recognition of two chiefs of staff, which was undoubtedly very helpful for him to truly grasp the command of the Southern Cluster. Maybe after this battle, he could be promoted to the division command of the 73rd Division or the 74th Division.

At that moment, Yanagawa Yukiji said, "Then let Kagoshima United go first."

The Kagoshima Wing is the backbone of the 73rd Division, and is composed of the reserve troops of the 45th Infantry Regiment, which is the genuine Kagoshima Wing.

The 45th Infantry Regiment is one of the four infantry regiments of the former 6th Division.

The 6th Division is famous for its ability to fight, because the people of Kagoshima, Oita and Kumamoto were strong in the area, so the combat effectiveness of the Kagoshima corps of the 73rd Division is also very strong.

When Yanagawa Yukiji came up, he sent Kagoshima United, which shows how determined he is.

Obviously, Yukiji Yanagawa wanted to establish his prestige through a refreshing victory and a quick victory.

Shunhiro Asano and Kwangichi Akutagawa had no objection to this, because they didn't want to spend too long here. The sooner they captured the Heyuan Prefecture, the more beneficial it would be for them.

...

At this moment, Wang Ye has returned to the left defensive position.

"Captain." Lin Han immediately came up happily and said with disdain, "The group of Japanese in front of him is almost the same as paper. Before we could exert much force, they lay down."

"Don't be careless." Wang Ye kept calm enough.

"It's just an infantry brigade, it doesn't mean anything."

Lin Han said, "Captain, I really didn't lie to you. This group of Japanese devils is much weaker than we imagined. After fighting for so many years, I have never seen anyone weaker than this, and it is not much worse than the puppet army."

While the two of them were talking, the Japanese in front suddenly became a movement again.

I saw about a gang of Japanese soldiers driving out of the temporary station.

However, what surprised Wang Ye was that the group of Japanese did not go around from both sides, but went straight to Yunqi Town.

"No," Wang Ye said with a dark face, "It seems that the Japanese have changed their minds and decided to attack Yunqi Town. Go back soon. I don't know how the Commander Ge and his friends are digging the hole."

At this moment, Wang Ye didn't bother to get into the tunnel and ran back from the ground.
