Chapter 142 Killing the Japanese Lieutenant General Brigade Commander

Just as he was speaking, an explosion occurred; it was indeed a shell that landed not far from the camp.

Hundreds of armored tracked vehicles have broken through the Japanese defenses and are heading towards the area where the Japanese command post is located.

As Yasuoka Masaomi stepped out of the command post, he saw the battle zone approaching. Sure enough, it was getting closer and closer, and it looked like they were about to be right in front of them.

"Assemble the troops, board the trucks and armored vehicles, retreat, and get out of here!"

Masaomi Yasuoka knew very well that the command post could be moved, but it absolutely could not be destroyed.

If it is destroyed, the entire First Mixed Brigade will be completely finished.

They acted swiftly, dismantling equipment such as radios and loading them directly onto trucks or armored vehicles.

Yasuoka Masaomi and the chief of staff quickly boarded the vehicles, and in less than fifteen minutes, the entire command post was loaded onto trucks and armored vehicles and moved to the flank.

Yang Ruifu is leading his troops on a rapid advance across the plains.

"Using the company as the basic combat unit, spread out to search, and immediately contact the enemy command post using communication equipment as soon as it is located."

In fact, they were not sure where the Japanese command post was located.

However, hundreds of armored personnel carriers can cover and search a fairly large area.

The main Japanese forces were concentrated on the periphery to fight them, leaving the interior defenses weak.

The troops quickly dispersed in the darkness, like outstretched wings, enveloping the Japanese army.

After more than two hours of fierce fighting with the Japanese army, the guard battalion led by Long Wenzhang finally managed to break through the enemy lines.

Meanwhile, more than fifty tracked troop carriers rushed into the interior of the Japanese defensive perimeter and, like Yang Ruifu's troops, dispersed to search.

The companies communicated via telephone and radio.

These telephones and radios were distributed on the 221 light armored vehicles.

Although this armored vehicle is not large, it can serve as a mobile command post for a company.

Masaomi Yasuoka's motorcade was actually not very large.

After all, it was just a brigade command post; if it were too large a target, it would be easier to attract the enemy's attention.

The entire convoy consisted of only 10 trucks, plus five tanks and two Type 97 medium tanks.

The unit moved rapidly in the darkness while closely observing the surrounding firefight.

The more intense the fighting, the further away they need to be.

At the same time, it is also necessary to coordinate with other units to determine the approximate location of the enemy.

But just as the troops were marching, flares suddenly rose into the sky from the darkness ahead.

Seeing the surrounding view illuminated, Yasuoka Masaomi's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, he saw seven or eight enemy armored tracked vehicles driving toward him not far ahead.

In fact, those armored tracked vehicles hadn't spotted them before; they were just firing flares forward to scout the surrounding area.

There are more than a dozen similar search companies on this battlefield, covering a fairly wide area.

Upon seeing the Japanese tanks, the motorized infantry company immediately became excited.

"They're Japanese devils! Attack them!!!"

Simultaneously call for support from surrounding companies!!!

The company commander cheered excitedly.

"Tanks, push them up!!! Everyone else, retreat!!"

While the enemy's vehicles weren't numerous, Yasuoka Masaomi certainly didn't want to be bogged down by them.

As a result, a Japanese Type 97 medium tank, along with two armored vehicles, immediately charged forward and engaged in fierce combat with the motorized infantry company.

Both sides exchanged fire continuously, either maneuvering and dodging on the battlefield or firing directly at each other.

However, while fiercely fighting this Japanese army, an important message was passed on to the surrounding companies.

That enemy force was covering another Japanese unit as it fled southwest, while requesting that troops in that direction intercept them.

Yasuoka Masaomi was unaware that his whereabouts had been continuously monitored since he began his escape.

The four motorized infantry companies searching the surrounding area have begun to maneuver in this direction.

As Yasuoka Masaomi fled southwest for less than three kilometers, he saw flares being launched into the sky, revealing the location of their convoy.

A soldier shouted.

"Brigade Commander, enemy tanks have been spotted approaching our forces!!"

Sure enough, at the three o'clock position, Yasuoka Masaomi saw a tank regiment also rushing towards them, and its speed was much faster than their tanks.

"Continue the retreat!!!"

Masaomi Yasuoka has chosen another direction.

As before, before they had run a few kilometers, enemy troops attacked them from the opposite direction.

He strongly suspected that these enemies might have gained supernatural vision, or possess some kind of magical reconnaissance ability that allowed them to see in the dark.

In fact, this was because every time Yasuoka Masaomi escaped, the motorized infantry regiment would report his escape location and possible areas to him via the communication channel.

Meanwhile, motorized infantry companies operating in the surrounding area would enter the area in advance to wait and release flares intermittently.

Meanwhile, motorized infantry companies operating in the surrounding area would enter the area in advance to wait and release flares intermittently.

Once the Japanese troops enter this area, they will have nowhere to hide under the light of the flares.

In just half an hour, Yasuoka Masaomi found that he seemed to have nowhere to go.

Finally, another flare was launched, illuminating the area where Masaomi Yasuoka's convoy was located.

Around him, four motorized infantry companies had quietly assembled and were already charging towards him.

Seeing this, Yasuoka Masaomi was utterly desperate.

"charge!!!!"

He roared, and his Type 97 medium tank was the first to charge towards the enemy.

The roar of cannons and the flames of war were quickly drowned out by the explosions.

The shouts and roars of people were drowned out by the music played by the explosives.

Half an hour later, the roof of the Type 97 tanker was opened, and a soldier covered his mouth and nose when he saw the mangled corpse inside.

Just then, his eyes lit up, and he shouted:

"Holy crap, there's a Japanese officer!! Damn it, could it be that Japanese brigade commander, the Seventh Son?!"

Li Jianghe stood on the ruined city wall, and a sound echoed in his mind.

[Killed Lieutenant General Masaomi Yasuoka, commander of the Japanese 1st Mixed Brigade, and received a merit point reward of 50000.]

Li Jianghe was dumbfounded; he actually managed to kill Yasuoka Masaomi.

This indicates that the command center of the enemy's 1st Mixed Brigade has been completely destroyed.

The First Mixed Brigade is currently a lamb to the slaughter.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately gave the order:

"General offensive! Before dawn, completely annihilate the Japanese 1st Mixed Brigade."

After the order was given, all reserve troops were also thrown into battle, and began to thoroughly annihilate the remaining Japanese tanks and soldiers on the battlefield.

At this time, the Japanese tank units were also leaderless and had suffered heavy losses.
