Shimokawa Hide knew about the empty city strategy, and he said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, there is absolutely no need for Wang Chengzhu to play the empty city strategy with us, right?"

"You know, this makes no sense at all. We only need to send some scouts to search and the secret will be revealed.

He could just run away.

Zhaojia'ao is surrounded by mountains on three sides. As long as Wang Chengzhu leads his troops to drill into the mountains, we really have no good solution."

Hattori Naoomi: "Wang Chengzhu can't run away at this time, but the monk can't run away from the temple! Since this is the headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment, in addition to people, there must be a large amount of food and various materials.

The men of the Second Independent Regiment could run away, but it was absolutely impossible for them to move these supplies away in such a short time.

Even if we don’t wipe out the Second Independent Regiment during this trip, as long as we destroy their supplies and drain the firepower, we can still deal a fatal blow to them!”

Shimokawa Hide nodded.

Hattori Naoomi continued: "Give me the order to have the artillery brigade bombard Zhaojiaao immediately!"

"Hiyi!"

A Japanese messenger soldier responded with a bang, then turned around and left to convey Hattori Naoomi's order.

Although the Japanese army went into battle this time lightly and did not carry heavy firepower such as the Type 92 infantry cannon, they did carry many small-caliber mortars.

For example, the Type 97 light mortar and the 60mm caliber mortar are equally destructive.

At this moment, the Japanese artillery brigade had already set up the artillery. After receiving the order, the main gunner immediately fired several illumination bombs.

"Pass!"

"Tong Tong Tong!——"

As the illumination bomb flew into the sky over Zhaojia'ao, and then slowly descended with a dazzling light, the entire Zhaojia'ao and its surroundings were suddenly illuminated like daylight.

The situation in Zhaojia'ao was also seen clearly by Naoomi Hattori, who was holding a telescope.

After identifying the target and adjusting the firing points of the artillery, the Japanese artillery then launched an intensive bombing of Zhaojiaao.

"Pass!"

"Everything, everything!——"

Hattori Naoomi brought a total of 20 mortars of various calibers this time. At this time, the firepower was full, and dense shells fell into Zhaojiaao one after another.

Zhaojiaao, where you could hear a needle drop one second, suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion the next second.

The entire village was suddenly blown into flames and smoke was everywhere.

The wooden houses were overwhelmed and collapsed under the raging artillery fire. Broken wooden boards burning with fireworks and broken bricks were scattered everywhere with the impact of the explosion.

"Keep bombing!"

The Japanese bombings continued one after another, and the artillery shells were like free rocks, constantly falling on Zhaojiaao.

The Japanese army attacked the position and looked at the collapsing and damaged houses in front of them. Hattori Naoomi couldn't help but raise a cold smile...

At the same time, at the top of the back mountain.

Xu Hailang was also silently paying attention to the bombing below, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it was a mocking smile: "Isn't this little devil an unfilial descendant of Cheng Yaojin? He keeps doing it, attacking.

The only means are these three."

Yawenba

…

It is 5 kilometers southeast of Zhaojiayu.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie each led their troops to march in a hurry. Because they had the same destination, they finally met at a fork in the road.

Seeing Ding Wei and Kong Jie's troops, Li Yunlong couldn't help showing an ugly expression on his face, as if he had eaten a fly. He thought to himself, damn it, why are these two guys here? They are trying to steal meat from our old Li.

Putting aside his thoughts, Li Yunlong walked forward with guard Hu Zi. On the other side, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also walked in the direction where he was.

Soon the three of them bumped into each other.

Li Yunlong was the first to speak: "Hey, aren't these Ding Wei and Kong Er? You guys are not staying at the station in the middle of the night. Why are you here in the wilderness?"

When Kong Jie thought of what Li Yunlong had said against him at the brigade headquarters, he became furious. He immediately said with a stern look on his face: "Li Dachaihu, why do you care what I'm here for? You, running around in the middle of the night, must be

No good intentions."

Ding Wei got straight to the point and said: "Old Li, since we are already here, we are being hidden. You must be here for Naoomi Hattori, right?"

Li Yunlong smiled: "Hey, old Ding, you are still upright, unlike someone who is full of bad ideas."

Kong Jie: "Li Dachaihu, who is so full of bad ideas? Don't think you have a big head, because we don't know what's going on in your head."

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

As soon as Kong Jie finished speaking, violent explosions were heard.

The expressions of the three people changed at that time, and they all followed the sound, but all they saw was that the sky in the west was red.

Li Yunlong: "It's Zhaojia'ao!"

Ding Wei: "Let's not fight here, otherwise when the Zhuzi brothers finish fighting, we may not even be able to drink the soup, and our trip will be in vain."

Li Yunlong: "I don't know if you can drink soup. Anyway, I have meat to eat."

Having said that, Li Yunlong turned around and headed towards the new regiment. Then with an order, the troops set off again and headed straight towards Zhaojia'ao.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei were thrown into chaos in the wind. They had seen shameless people before, but never such shameless ones. They said they were not in a hurry, but they ran faster than anyone else.

The two of them did not hesitate, and each led his troops to pursue the new group.

…

The screen returns to Zhaojiaao.

Japanese troops attack position.

After bombarding Zhaojia'ao for 10 minutes and razing almost all the houses in Zhaojia'ao to the ground, Hattori Naoomi finally took out the sword in his hand and waved it forward vigorously, issuing the order for a tentative attack.

Order.

"Kill the chicken and give it! Kill the chicken and give it!"

The person responsible for the attack was the Panasonic Squadron, which was a reinforced squadron with a total strength of nearly 250 people.

The squadron leader's name is Matsushita Namitsu, with the rank of captain.

Since Zhaojia'ao has been almost razed to the ground, the troops used in this exploratory attack are completely different from the previous cannon fodder troops.

A perfect first opportunity!

In order to show off himself well in front of the brigade commander Hattori Naoomi, Matsushita Namitsu personally led the charge and constantly urged his soldiers to join the advance.

So, in just about three minutes, hundreds of Japanese soldiers ran out several hundred meters and arrived at the entrance of Zhaojia'ao Village.

Originally, according to normal circumstances, the Panasonic Squadron needed to open up a loose skirmish line at this time and continue to move forward tentatively under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire.

But Matsushita Namitsu was eager to express himself, and he didn't think the Eighth Route Army could survive such artillery bombardment, so he simply omitted these steps.

Little did they know that Xu Hailang had already dug and built strong anti-gun fortifications in and around Zhaojia'ao.

The company responsible for acting as bait was hiding among these fortifications.

Although the Japanese artillery fire was powerful, it was not a large-caliber field artillery after all, and its lethality was relatively limited. Although it made the ears of the soldiers in the company buzz, it was not enough to cause any casualties to them.
