Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

Chapter 148: Confident Kaoru Kawamura

Wei Dayong was lying on the hillside looking at the densely packed Japanese soldiers and was also shocked.

"Damn it! The Japanese actually sent out so many people this time."

He turned to look at the soldier next to him and whispered.

"Pass the order down. Everyone, open your eyes wide and count the number of the Japanese cannons and the number of people."

"Yes, Captain."

20 soldiers lay on the hillside and began to count the Japanese.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and began to count the number of Japanese soldiers in the square formation.

Half an hour later.

The Japanese soldiers from the 4th Brigade left this road and headed towards Ping'an City.

The monk immediately gathered everyone.

"Everyone, report your statistics immediately."

"Company commander, I counted 800 Japanese soldiers in the formation," said Soldier A.

"Captain, I counted more than 700 people."

“….”

The monk counted everyone's data one by one.

After finishing the statistics, the monk cursed.

"Damn, the Japanese actually sent out more than 7000 people this time, and brought 48 artillery pieces. This is enough to defeat an entire army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

At this time, the soldier next to him said.

"Captain, what are we going to do next?"

"Let's return to the assembly point and wait for the other teams to come back," the monk ordered.

Afterwards, the monk led the team back to the assembly point quickly.

After finding no enemy soldiers, the other teams returned to the assembly point one after another.

Night falls.

The special forces company set up a temporary camp inside the mountains.

The monk sent today's statistics and situation back to the county brigade.

...........

County brigade headquarters.

After receiving the monk's telegram, the communicator ran to the headquarters.

"Report to the captain, the special agent company sent back an urgent telegram."

"Show it to me now."

The messenger handed the telegram over.

Gundam took the telegram and read it quickly.

"Damn, are these little devils crazy?"

"The Fourth Brigade actually brought so many troops to attack our county brigade."

After Gundam put down the telegram, he shouted out the door.

"Li Dazhuang, come in."

Li Dazhuang rushed in.

"Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Da Zhuang, go and notify Captain Da Kang and Kong Jie to come to the headquarters immediately."

"Okay, Captain."

Li Dazhuang turned around and ran out of the command center.

It didn't take long.

Li Dakang and Kong Jie arrived at the command center.

"Captain, why are you calling us here so late? What's the emergency?" Li Dakang asked.

"You two, the 4th Brigade of the Japanese has arrived in Ping'an County. This time, the Japanese have dispatched more than 7000 people, including an artillery battalion."

"Damn, the Japs are coming with great force this time, but I like it, this kind of battle is so exciting." Kong Jie said excitedly.

"Captain, all the villagers in Lijiazhuang have been evacuated. We can fight the Japanese without any worries." Li Dakang said.

"Okay, then let's discuss how to deal with the Japs."

Gundam said as he took out the large map and spread it out on the table.

The three began to look for a suitable place for an ambush on the map.

.................

The Japanese headquarters in Ping'an County.

Saburo Sato stood respectfully in front of Kaoru Kawamura.

"Captain Sato, can you tell me about the Ping An County Brigade?"

"General, the Ping'an County Brigade has been active in the Lijiazhuang area and has attacked our strongholds many times.

Due to insufficient manpower, our Sato Squadron dared not provoke them and could only retreat to Pingyang County......."

After Kaoru Kawamura heard Sato Saburo's story.

The question was: "That means you don't know how many troops the Ping'an County Brigade has?"

Saburo Sato lowered his head in shame.

"Hi, General."

"idiot!"

"Is that reasonable? You are a disgrace to the empire."

"The Ping'an County Brigade is so active in Ping'an County, and you don't even know their details."

Saburo Sato hurriedly explained, "General, the Ping'an County Brigade is always elusive. We have no idea how many troops they have, but one thing is certain, their number will definitely not exceed 2000."

Kaori Kawamura nodded slightly.

If the county brigade only has this many people, the 4th Brigade can resolve the battle as quickly as possible.

"Yoshi, I already understand the situation. You go down first."

Kaoru Kawamura ordered them to leave.

"Hai."

Saburo Sato turned and left the headquarters.

Kaoru Kawamura shouted outside the door.

"Guards, notify the three wing commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting immediately."

"Hi."

The guard immediately trotted over to convey the order.

It didn't take long.

The three commanders of the 4th Brigade came to the headquarters.

"Everyone, I have just learned the specific situation of the Ping'an County Brigade."

"Next, I will arrange the combat mission."

"30th Regiment, 31st Regiment, set out early tomorrow morning to Lijiazhuang, Ping'an County, and surround the county brigade entrenched in Lijiazhuang and annihilate it in one fell swoop."

"The 32nd Regiment will provide support from the periphery to block the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army."

"Hai."

The three Japanese regiment commanders responded in unison.

Kaoru Kawamura is full of confidence. He believes that tomorrow the two regiments will be able to completely wipe out the county brigade with a devastating force.

This time he brought an entire artillery battalion, so dealing with a county battalion was a piece of cake.

After the Japanese regiment commander returned to the barracks, he immediately issued tomorrow's combat orders to each captain.

at the same time.

Inside the Lijiazhuang County Brigade Command Headquarters.

Gaoda and the other two finally discussed and decided to ambush the Japanese 4th Brigade at Huangyapo.

The county brigade had ambushed here before, and the terrain of Huangyapo is very suitable for ambush.

The three men chose many locations, but none of them were as good as Huangyapo. If they went to Shazipo, the troops would not be able to deploy their forces, it would not be suitable for ambushes, and they would be easily broken through by the Japanese.

Since the Japanese army had a large number of trucks, they could only take the main road. If they wanted to reach Lijiazhuang by the main road, they had to pass Huangyapo.

“You two, since you have decided to set up an ambush at Huangyapo, then act immediately.

Time waits for no one, the Japanese may set out tomorrow." Gundam ordered.

"Yes, Captain."

"I will let the soldiers prepare for battle in the evening and set off for Huangyapo in the early morning," said Kong Jie.

Gundam nodded.

"Tomorrow I will have the special forces company harass the Japanese on the way to buy time for us to set up our position."

After Gundam gave the order.

The two men turned and left the command center and began to arrange combat operations.
