Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#197 - Storm is coming

Meidaizhao Station.

The only building at the station is now occupied by the Japanese devils and used as a temporary command post.

Major General Matsuyama Yuzo, commander of the 27th Infantry Regiment of the 27th Division, stared at the map in silence under a few kerosene lamps.

He led the Japanese vanguard, using two cavalry squadrons from the 27th Division's search party as a vanguard, searching forward along a 10-kilometer deep front.

During the day, reconnaissance planes were also sent into the grasslands and Jiufeng Mountain to monitor the area within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

Although the Japanese devils were arrogant, they were not careless in fighting. After confirming that there were no problems, the old Japanese devil Matsuyama followed the garrison infantry 1st Regiment and the garrison infantry 2nd Regiment as pioneers.

Even now that it was dark, one of the 2 cavalry squadrons of the division search team was still searching within a 3-kilometer radius of the garrison.

So far, the intelligence department has not figured out what kind of performance parameters the heavy weapon produced by the Border Region is, but it is undeniable that two brigades have been destroyed by this weapon, and a large number of airports and warplanes have been buried by this weapon.

The power should not be underestimated. According to the speculation of Japanese experts, the range of this weapon can reach at least 5 kilometers or more.

This makes the high-level officers of the brigades and divisions who lead troops on the front line feel a shadow in their hearts.

This range is really a bit hard to defend against.

The little Japanese devil Matsuyama looked at the map. During the day, the search team sent out to search and confirm several suspicious places, but there was no trace at all.

However, the station is not far from Jiufeng Mountain, and there are many places to hide in the mountains, so the little Japanese devil Matsuyama has been keeping a tight string.

"What is the situation in the direction of Jiufeng Mountain?" Matsuyama Yuzo asked the Japanese intelligence staff officer next to him.

"Your Excellency General, the search team reports that there are still no findings." Second Lieutenant Sakai Ippō respectfully replied.

"Order the search team not to slack off, patrol 24 hours a day, focusing on the direction of Jiufeng Mountain," said the little Japanese devil Matsuyama.

"Hai!" Sakai Ippō nodded in response and went out to issue the order.

In a farmland about 1 kilometer away from the station in a straight line, a crack quietly opened, and then a board was opened, and a head slowly stretched out from inside. He quickly scanned the surroundings to make sure it was safe, then took out binoculars and began to observe the direction of the station.

This is the latest 8x infrared telescope from the Optical Research Center of the Dawn Research Institute in the Border Region. During the day, you can easily see people's faces clearly from a kilometer away.

At night, with the help of faint starlight, you can still see the lights from the station. Although you can't see anything clearly, you can still see the movement.

After seeing the lights of the camp around, he continued to turn on the infrared night vision. The scout easily saw a dense patch of red dots around the station.

This proves that the Japanese devils are indeed camping at the station, and this is not a bluff.

This reconnaissance point is the closest to the station. The scout found the location and dug a large pit more than 10 days ago, and laid wooden boards to prepare for lurking.

Not only him, but there are many observation posts along the line like this. Until the Japanese reconnaissance suddenly became dense two days ago, the forward command ordered the scouts along the line to take three days of dry food and hide.

Now the communication system of the front-line regiment level in the Border Region is composed of Red Star walkie-talkies + Red Star Type 71 radios, which can cover dozens of kilometers. The observation situation of the sentry posts is reported to a Red Star Type 71 radio node (usually 1 to 3 are set up in a battalion) through walkie-talkies, and then transferred to the regimental headquarters and the forward headquarters by the radio node.

There are multiple redundancies in the middle to ensure that front-line information can reach every sentry post and company smoothly. This allows the forward headquarters to grasp the overall situation in a timely manner and update the latest situation of the enemy and us on the large map in the headquarters.

The situation at the station was quickly sent back to the regimental headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Regiment by the forward scout, and then transferred back to the forward headquarters.

"Two divisions have come out, the Japanese devils really think highly of us." In the command headquarters of the Saibei Military Region, Staff Officer Liu looked at the small red dots updated on the map. Each small red dot meant thousands of Japanese devils.

Now there are more than twenty small red dots along the railway line from Meidaizhao to Sanbashu for more than ten miles.

"The bad news is that the main force of the Japanese devils has come out, but the good news is that this time the Japanese devils have almost all fallen into our net," the commander of the military region said with a smile.

"This time we will use up half of our rocket launcher reserves in one go. If the effect is not achieved, we will be in big trouble."

"But it's worth the gamble." The commander of the Suimeng Autonomous Army said with a smile, "We only have these three axes, of course we have to use them on the edge of the knife. The tactics planned by the Border Region Staff Department for us have been very successful so far. The 5 cavalry regiments hid in Jiufeng Mountain for half a month, and no one found them. This shows that our soldiers' hiding skills are still very remarkable."

The most important thing in this battle is to catch the enemy off guard, otherwise the Japanese devils will not be easy to catch.

"But this battle is still very difficult. The Japanese devils are already considering the possibility of our 107 rocket launcher attack and have dispersed the camps. Not to mention this stretch of more than ten miles, they have also separated the large teams from each other by hundreds of meters, so that even if one camp is attacked, it will not have too much impact on the other."
