For the Japanese army, the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Star City just ended made the Japanese army feel tremendous pressure. This pressure came more from the resolute resistance of the National Government, making the Japanese army feel that its ambition to embezzle would become more difficult.

What made the Japanese army feel the most pressure was that as time goes by, the domestic anti-Japanese situation has not weakened, but is increasing. In addition to the active preparations for war in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the enthusiasm for anti-Japanese in the occupied areas controlled by the Japanese army is also increasing.

The Japanese army, who urgently hoped that the National Government would propose peace talks, realized that the war would continue to delay and that they might be the ones who were eventually dragged down. In this case, the Japanese army began to try every means to cut off the channels for the National Government to obtain materials.

When the Japanese army did not dare to take action against Britain, France and other countries for the time being, the Japanese army thought of invading Guizhou Province and cut off the southwest transportation channel for transporting overseas anti-Japanese war materials to the National Government. The plan was formulated, and the Japanese army made targeted combat deployments.

After completing the substantial occupation of Qiongdao, the Japanese army had a stable rear base in the southwest. The warships and sea and air forces mobilized from the country could be properly concealed and rested, and gained the initiative on the battlefield.

Although it was a bit troubled to the Japanese army that the wave of resistance on Qiongdao was intensifying, Qiongdao was finally under the control of the Japanese army. In this case, the Japanese army also formulated a combat plan to raid Guizhou Province and try to occupy most of Guizhou Province as quickly as possible.

Using the powerful naval and air force, he raided the Qinzhou Bay where the Gui army was deployed. After breaking through the fortifications built by the Gui army, the Japanese army advanced straight into the city and began to complete the substantial occupation of the surrounding areas, in order to completely cut off the southwest supply line.

After successfully occupying the entire Qinzhou territory, the Japanese landing troops began to advance to various surrounding areas according to the scheduled combat plan. Their main forces were more advanced towards Nanning. Taking Nanning, the defenders on the front line of the border would collapse.

After the Japanese infantry brigade, which was responsible for the front line of Longzhou, successfully captured Zongzuo City at a certain price, he immediately ordered his infantry brigade to start advancing into Longzhou. The Japanese army hoped to push its troops to the front line of the border.

As long as the border frontline is completely controlled, even if the National Government transports overseas purchased materials to the British and French colonies, it is unlikely to transport them. The southwest is already high and densely packed, so how difficult is it to reopen a supply line?

For these Japanese troops who landed in battle, although they had realized before the war that they would encounter varying degrees of resistance, the Japanese army still felt that the defense and blocking level of the defenders were not enough to stop them in place.

The infantry captain who was ordered to advance to Longzhou knew very well that Longzhou was more prosperous than Zongzuo City, which had just been occupied. As a distribution center for overseas materials, Longzhou has become increasingly prosperous in recent years and has also gathered a large number of domestic vendors.

Sitting in the car heading to Longzhou, the adjutant beside the captain also smiled and said, "Captain, based on the information we control, Longzhou City has become in chaos. The defenders over there are probably already scared by us!"

"Don't be careless! According to the information provided by the Special High School, there is a security regiment stationed in Longzhou. The Zongzuo City we occupied before was only one security regiment. This shows that the Chinese people attach great importance to Longzhou!"

"But now Zongzuo City has been controlled by us. The Chinese army in Longzhou may have to escape to the border except for fleeing to the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, it should be impossible for them to escape our pursuit.

I heard that the Chinese merchants are very rich, so we should focus on interrogating the arrested merchants in this battle. If the captain can seize a large amount of materials and wealth, I believe the brigade commander will be very happy!"

"That's what I expected!"

For the Japanese officers, they were eager to gain more military achievements every time they participated in the war. Only with enough military achievements could they be continuously promoted. Only by becoming generals can they prove their excellence and loyalty.

While these Japanese troops heading to Longzhou were imagining what reward they could get by taking Longzhou, Hu Biao, who personally commanded the task force to ambush, stood on the hill near the highway, quietly looking at the convoy and troops that looked from afar.

Through the telescope, looking at the Japanese army moving forward quickly, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "These Japanese are really arrogant enough. As soon as they occupied Zong Zuo, they sent an infantry brigade to advance towards Longzhou.

I think the Japanese also knew that Longzhou was very rich and didn't want too many people and supplies to run away. It was really hard to come so anxious and angry. The troops were sent to the army, and the evil guests had arrived, so prepare to treat them well!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

As Hu Biao issued an order to prepare for the battle, the officers and soldiers of the task force who were already lurking on both sides of the road began to point their guns at the Japanese army marching on the road. For the task force, they were also eager to fight.

Compared with the previous task force, the current task force has been replaced. The newly developed Han-type rifle is only equipped with two companies due to time constraints. But the officers and soldiers of the detachment know that this gun will be available sooner or later.

I have always thought that the Japanese rifles and the medium-term rifles made were good. The officers and soldiers who had used Han-type rifles thought that the rifles they made were better. The capacity of ten rounds alone made many officers and soldiers happy.

Secondly, loading can save time to pull the bolt and replenish the bullets in one load, which is equivalent to having faster shooting speed. In short, the officers and soldiers of the detachment who received the new type of rifle regarded the issued rifle as treasures.

As the vanguard team sent by the infantry brigade entered the ambush circle, Hu Biao did not issue an attack order. In this ambush battle, Hu Biao did not lead other troops, only five companies of the task force, all of whom participated in the ambush battle.

In Hu Biao's view, it is believed that the Japanese army that had just occupied Zongzuo would also be shocked. If the Japanese army did not want to give up Longzhou, they could only mobilize more troops and prepare to continue to attack Longzhou.

Since we have decided to join the war, it is necessary to teach the Japanese a profound lesson so that they can know that the wild land in the southwest is extremely dangerous. Once the attack on the left side of the Zong Zuo is frustrated, what will the Japanese army attacking Nanning feel?

As the pioneer of the Japanese army, the Japanese squad responsible for reconnaissance seemed somewhat cautious. Fired at the mountains and forests on both sides of the highway from time to time to test whether there were ambushes on both sides of the highway. The task force ignored this kind of test.

The soldiers who are qualified to join the task force are not experienced in many battles? The soldiers are very familiar with the Japanese's tricks. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the detachment know that these Japanese cannot afford to drag them down, and they must arrive in Longzhou as soon as possible.

The longer the delay, the more time it will be for the Longzhou defenders to strengthen and build fortifications. The vendors who had not left earlier will choose the route they left more calmly. For the Japanese army, they undoubtedly did not want to see.

The Qibiao team members lurking in the trenches on the hillside watched the Japanese vanguard team leave, and then quietly waited for the Japanese troops to step into the explosion area. According to Hu Biao's previous request, the Qibiao team members kept observing how many Japanese men entered the Qibiao area.

"Captain, you can almost do it! The Japanese in charge of the palace behind have also entered the ambush circle!"

"Okay! Everyone is ready, three, two, one, start explosion!"

With the establishment of the Shillong Arsenal, Hu Biao also formed corresponding supporting factories. For example, gunpowder factories are naturally indispensable. This time, the logistics supply of the troops was much more convenient than before.

Before the arrival of the Japanese army, Hu Biao buried a large amount of explosives on the road more than ten kilometers away from Longzhou. For Hu Biao, he knew very well that the Japanese troops would choose relatively easy routes to march.

The road from Longzhou to Zongzuocheng is undoubtedly better than other remote towns in Guizhou Province. With the spacious and flat roads not walking, how could the Japanese army choose to take that kind of rugged mountain road?

The Japanese army has not encountered the ambushed by the Anti-Japanese War troops. For the infantry brigade ordered to attack Longzhou, they are also considered advance troops sent by the brigade. If the attack is frustrated, the brigade will also send more troops to the subsequent brigades.

If the Japanese army still cannot capture Longzhou City, they will call for air support. When the Japanese army calls the air force to bring artillery, they can destroy even the strongest city. The Japanese commanders are very aware of this situation and are already used to this kind of combat method.

The Japanese and vehicles who were traveling on the highway soon felt a huge tongue of flames and force coming out from their feet. The explosives buried on the highway were finally showing their hideous side, swallowing life in the explosion area.

In order to make the explosives more powerful, the team members who buried the explosives put the explosives in the porcelain jar and added some iron sheets and steel balls. When each bomb jar explodes, the splashing iron sheets and steel balls will bring huge lethality.

"Enemy attack!"

As countless Japanese yelled this sentence in horror, Japanese yelled on the road were also harvested and fell to the ground in groups. The moving cars were either blown away by explosion shock waves, or were splattered shrapnel shattered by car windows and windshields.

Just as the explosives were fired, the officers and soldiers who were ambushing in the trenches on both sides quickly lifted up their disguises, and the officers leading the team quickly said, "Aim to fight! Remember, don't let a Japanese man go!"

Before formulating the ambush plan, Hu Biao conveyed the order to completely annihilate the invading Japanese army. For the officers and soldiers of the task force, although their strength was only half of the Japanese army, the officers and soldiers of the detachment firmly believed that they had the ability to completely annihilate the Japanese infantry brigade.

If they don’t even have this ability, how can they be appointed as the title of task force?

The machine guns set up in the trenches began to spit out deadly flames. The Japanese soldiers who survived the explosion also began to receive the baptism of bullets. The grenades thrown from time to time also made the Japanese army unable to raise their heads.

The sudden ambush made the excited Japanese army feel the fatal threat brought by this wilderness. Whether they can escape safely has become a question that many surviving Japanese soldiers began to think about!
