Chapter 1085 The Japanese General who is already cautious enough
Zou Yun, who was transferred from the colonel chief of the Army Regulatory Bureau to the captain of the infantry regiment for two years, served as the commander of the major general brigade. Although he was disdainful of the Principal Army, he had always been vigilant enough on the march on the mountain road.
Before the main force, there are at least four vanguards who are searching forward, and the farthest vanguards are even 5 kilometers away from the main force.
The long canyon before Yinan Village was discovered by the reconnaissance vanguard last night, so Zou Yun got up early and ordered his officers and soldiers to make rice before dawn, hoping to make a time difference and pass through the long canyon as soon as possible.
Although the two infantry squadrons sent one hour in advance had passed through most of the canyon without finding anything unusual, the dark entrance to the canyon in the dawn always made Zou Yun feel a little frightened. If those "crazy" Duchy Army were ambushing down on the canyon and shooting, the imperial warriors under the canyon would not have much resistance.
Even Zou Yun would not think that the Principal Army would lie on the bare ridge on this late autumn night, just to wait for him and the 40th Infantry Brigade to arrive.
I have to say that this is quite a bit of what the old king of the Principal Kingdom often said: "Strategically despise the enemy and attach importance to the enemy tactically."
However, this Black Hawk Imperial Army Major General would not know that his unrealistic guesses had really come true. The elite independent regiments were 2,800, the guard company directly under the brigade department of the 86th Brigade and the 71st Regiment, a total of 2,300 officers and soldiers, from major generals to second-class privates, they entered the mountains and forests according to the combat plan or took half a month to arrange the hidden positions.
The 2nd Battalion of the 1st Battalion of the 66th Regiment, located on both sides of the canyon, hid in the forest 800 meters away from the ridge of the canyon. It was not until the Black Hawk Army searched for the vanguards passed, and the Black Hawk Army infantry brigade began to enter the canyon. Then, under the command of Captain Xu, who was in charge of the command here, he quickly trotted into the position in a lurking posture.
From the exit 500 meters to the entrance 800 meters, their position is on the 3,700-meter-long canyon ridge. Because there will be Black Hawk vanguards searching, there are no trenches or fortifications dug in such a long ridge, and everything remains the same.
In fact, shooting into the canyon from a high place, the so-called trenches and fortifications are useless.
The real position is in the terraced fields of Yinan Village at the exit of the canyon, which is shocking at first glance. There are more than 460 people in the Panshi Camp, and they need to block the crazy assault of the Black Hawk Army there.
Zou Yun is a qualified army general, just as Liu Lang expected. Although he is arrogant, he is absolutely not stupid. Even if there are vanguards who have searched for it, he is extremely cautious in dividing the main force into three parts.
The first batch of people entering the canyon was an infantry brigade of the 79th Infantry Regiment transferred from Luojin County to maintain its strength. The bottom of the canyon was only 4 meters wide, but it was enough to drive. The infantry brigade was divided into three parts, one infantry squadron took the lead, two infantry squadrons were in the middle, and an infantry squadron accompanied by the baggage squadron and the brigade headquarters at the end, and the front and back three units were separated by more than 200 meters. The Black Hawk officers and soldiers were lined up in two rows, with each soldier in front and back, and the 1,100 infantry brigade advanced for more than ten minutes before they completely entered the canyon, and nearly 2,000 meters were placed.
It was not until the vanguard of the infantry brigade that had been walking to the middle of the canyon that Zou Yun ordered the vanguard's main infantry brigade Colonel Morimu Yinshi to lead the 79th Regiment headquarters and his 2nd Infantry Battalion into the canyon.
It was not until Zou Yun saw the figure of the last baggage soldier driving a carriage in the 2nd Infantry Brigade completely disappearing from the entrance of the canyon that a smile of relief finally appeared on his face.
Two full-fledged infantry brigades, plus dozens of people in the 79th Infantry Regiment, more than 120 people in the wing, 80 people in the ammunition team, and more than 200 people in the artillery squadron directly under the infantry gang, 2,700 people entered the canyon, which was enough to fill the entire 5,000-meter-long canyon.
If nothing unexpected happens, the forward of the infantry brigade has arrived at the exit and has not issued a warning signal yet, which means that his previous caution is a bit unfair.
At most, the Duchy Army will harass the baggage troops. What if there is the courage to compete with the infantry brigade that is comparable to the regular army of the Central Army of the Kingdom? Isn’t that seeking death?
"Okay! Order the mountain artillery brigade in the rear to withdraw from the position, dismantle and load the mountain artillery, and be ready to march at any time." Zou Yun, about 400 meters away from the entrance of the canyon, put down his telescope in his hand and issued a military order.
To prevent accidents, when the infantry arrived at the canyon and was about to enter, Zou Yun ordered the largest killer weapon of the infantry brigade to be located at the end of the infantry. The advance artillery brigade was protected by an infantry brigade. The advance artillery brigade was immediately seized with favorable terrain and the target was aimed directly at the ridge and the exit of the canyon. The range of 6,500 meters was enough to keep the officers and soldiers in the canyon under their protection.
The general is cautious and can save his life, but for the Black Hawk artillery that has always been the only one who beats you and never you beat me,
However, this military order has made them suffer.
Xianlu Mountain is steep and ridges can be seen everywhere. If there is no mountain road, let alone the Black Eagle Army’s equipment is awesome, even if the White Eagle Kingdom, where helicopter armored vehicles are almost unnecessarily required to walk on its own, can only look at the mountains and sigh. In other words, if you want to hit the shells to the designated location of Zou Yun in the valley through several ridges, the mountain artillery captain actually wants to say: "Boss, I can't do it!"
But the Black Hawk Army has always been strict in military discipline. Not to mention the artillery brigade leader, a small major, even an officer at the level of the corps leader, the colonel, had to obey the orders after the Major General Brigade Commander gave the order.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! From the moment the infantry began to enter the canyon with agile pace, the artillery was so tired that they jumped up and down like a bastard to carry the 500-kilogram mountain cannons up and down into the mountain in pieces, and found a flat enough place to be used as the gun position. The artillery observer directed the adjustment of the muzzle based on the approximate position, using the approximate position, and the rough calculation data.
That man shouted that the horse was neighing! Thousands of people from the mountain artillery brigade were busy, which made the Black Hawk Army, an infantry brigade who was guarding them, cheering next to him, but he just didn't come forward to help.
Don’t say that military orders are not allowed, even if the melon-eating audience is watching the fun, the infantry will not let the infantry move a little finger. He wants to fight with the kingdom people face to face, but the artillerymen are happily setting firecrackers behind him, and it is fake to say that the Black Hawk infantry has no resentment towards the artillery.
However, when the mountain artillery brigade, who had been busy since 6:40, spent almost 50 minutes, and finally set up the cannon and adjust the position of the gun, the brigade commander of the MMB actually said that he would dismantle the cannon and load the car to prepare for marching...
If possible, the bastard kills you with one shot! The Black Hawk artillery's deep resentment soars into the sky.
However, the senior official level crushed people to death. Not to mention that they dared not kill the "bastard" brigade commander in one shot. After a military order, they would have to be busy again like bastards and dismantle the arranged cannons and transport them down the mountain like bastards.
The Black Hawk Army infantry, who had already occupied various commanding heights, laughed so hard that they could suck a few more cigarettes to celebrate. It was also gratifying to see these turtle grandchildren who did not have to go to the front line and sweated.
The audience, who was in the melon-eating mentality, did not notice that in the bushes that were only 200 meters away, pairs of hatred eyes were staring at them. The black muzzles had been locked firmly, waiting for the signal flares of battle to be sent out, and bullets far beyond their imagination would pour towards them.
In order to deal with the Black Hawk Army, the infantry brigade and artillery brigade, Liu Lang sent the bayonet battalion, which is the most attacking unit of the Independent Regiment. The battalion commander Liu Dazhu is Liu Lang's most trusted and one of the most fearless battalion-level officials of the Independent Regiment.
However, there are still no signal flares in the sky that are already bright.
Since the Black Hawk infantry entered the canyon at 6:50, more than 40 minutes have passed. The Black Hawk Army forward trotting has even arrived at the entrance of the valley. At least two infantry squadrons have begun to establish temporary field positions at the entrance of the valley. The Black Hawk Army, which is closest to the muzzle of the Panshi Battalion soldiers in the terraced fields with corn poles, is only 200 meters away.
As the commander-in-chief on both sides of the canyon and the exit of the canyon, the commander of the 71st Regiment, the general who had served as a division commander in the Duchy Army, may not know that he would become the founding lieutenant general of the Principality in the future and hold a prominent position, but his memoirs used a lot of writing to describe his first battle to go to the front line and the Black Hawk Imperial Army - the ambush in Yinan Village.
At the same time, he recorded his mental state before the war with nervousness, his palms and vests several times, which also showed how nervous he was at that time.
Because the entire ambush battle in Yinan Village is 7 kilometers long, the commander Xu Da, who was proposed by Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Lang, was the commander of the ambush at the gorge and the canyons on both sides, is not the case, let alone the other officers and soldiers.
Seeing the Black Hawk Army rushing out of the canyon more and more, they waved armour shovels at the exit of the canyon to dig trenches, and joined the main force of their side and were ordered to continue searching for the two teams of advance. Dozens of Black Hawk Army vanguards had even arrived at a 100-meter position in the terraced field. Even they whispered and had a little relaxed conversation, and the soldiers hiding in the terraced field trenches were clearly heard.
However, Liu Lang, located at the end of the canyon, still did not order an attack. Even if the low voice of Liu Dazhu, who had always been cautious in the individual telephone, repeatedly rang: "Request an attack, the distance between the Black Hawk Army's vanguards is 70 meters, 60 meters, 50 meters..."
Liu Lang still looked at the pocket watch in his hand, unmoved.
It was not until the time pointed to 7:45 that Liu Lang let out a long sigh and said in a low order: "Order, position No. 1, start attack; order, position No. 2, 3, start attack; order, position No. 4, 5, 6, enter the pre-rest position as fast as possible, and quickly seize the commanding heights according to the original plan of each department."
With his orders, the three red and three green signal flares rose from the entrance of the canyon to the middle section of the canyon and then to the end of the canyon, and each of them rose up.
