The battle went very smoothly, and the two offensive troops encountered no resistance and easily occupied the two machine gun castles shrouded in black smoke.

In Colonel Noda's opinion, he even dispatched the plane this time and could kill some soldiers of the National Savior Army no matter how he was.

But the result disappointed him again. A second lieutenant in charge of the attack came over with his head down: "Report to the captain of the corpses that had just blocked us were all destroyed, but no body of the National Savior Army was found in the ruins of the castle!"

"We found an authentic tunnel behind the castle connecting a hidden traffic trench next to the castle, leading to the forest dozens of meters away. We suspected that the National Salvation Army guarding the castle had slipped away before the plane bombed!"

"Bageya Road, these national-savior troops are too cunning. After fighting with them for a whole morning, they can never see or touch them. They slip away every time they are about to be wiped out. They are even more cunning than monkeys. It's so hateful!"

The chief of staff of the corps stood up to rescue the siege: "Superior calm down. Although the National Rescue Army is cunning, as long as we destroy the arsenal and cut off their ammunition supplies, no matter how cunning the fox is, it cannot escape the hunter's roundup."

"We have entered the mountain for nearly fifteen kilometers, and there are still fifteen kilometers of mountain roads ahead. The National Salvation Army will definitely fight to the death and buy time for the transfer of the arsenal."

"At the current attack speed, we will definitely not be able to kill the arsenal before dark. Sir, you must make a decision. Should we attack overnight and fight to the arsenal before dark before resting. Or find a place to camp before dark and continue the attack tomorrow."

Colonel Noda especially didn't want to stay overnight in the mountains. In doing so, he took the initiative to send the troops to the National Salvation Army for them to attack.

Even overnight attacks won't work.

If there was a castle that had just been blown up by the plane on the mountain road ahead, it was dark again and the plane could not come to support it, and the raid troops would not necessarily destroy it if they lost five times their strength. Moreover, the chance of sneak attacks at night was greater, and the troops would suffer greater losses.

After thinking about it, Colonel Noda still thought he would find a place to stay overnight in Dashan to take some insurance.

As long as you choose the campsite and set up more guard posts to reduce the chances of the national rescue army attacking themselves at night, the troops can spend tonight at the lowest cost.

Immediately ordered: "Give me a map!"

"There are very limited places for camping in the mountains. We must first choose a camping site and then continue to attack towards the target. We can no longer blindly enter like in the morning, otherwise there will be no place to camp after dark!"

The Chief of Staff was prepared and introduced while laying the map: "Sir, wise!"

"When I was just waiting for the aviation force, I studied the mountain roads in the front for a dozen kilometers. The terrain of the entire mountain road is very complex, with valleys everywhere, and hidden troops can attack us everywhere. There are only three slightly isolated highlands suitable for us to camp."

"The nearest highland is three kilometers away, and the second highland is seven kilometers away. There is a village with more than 300 people on it, called Niuhou Village. More importantly, this highland is the highest mountain within a three or four kilometers surrounding it."

"The troops camped in this high ground and could attack all the surrounding hills and high ground from a high ground, minimizing the risk of the national rescue army attacking us at night."

"The farthest highland is only three kilometers away from the arsenal. Although it is also very isolated, its altitude is not the highest among all the surrounding highlands."

Colonel Noda made a decision as soon as he heard this: "The troops gathered immediately, targeted Niuhou Village, attacked and advanced, and used the fastest time to kill there and camp there!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Noda Nakasa is now at the entrance of Niuhou Village.

Looking at the empty village and looking at the sun that was about to set above his head, he decided to camp here tonight and stop walking.

Turning around and raising the telescope, carefully observing the surrounding terrain.

The more I looked, the more satisfied I felt, and the more I smiled on my face. Finally, I kept my eyes on the forest nearly a kilometer east of the village, and analyzed very seriously: "Did you see that forest? If the National Salvation Army attacked us tonight, 80% would be hidden in that forest!"

"Chief of Staff, you arrange a reinforcement squadron to deploy defenses at 300 meters outside the forest, and provide them with more grenade launchers and flares. If any enemy comes out of the forest, firmly block them."

"Another mortar squadron is drawn to the back to set up defenses, and provide artillery cover to the infantry at any time."

"Tonight, the Third Battalion will be stationed outside the village, with two squadrons in groups, taking turns to watch."

"The first and second brigades, the corps command, are all stationed in the village!"

"The first brigade first sent a squadron to the village to investigate. After confirming that there is no danger in the village, the guards will then go to the village to find houses to establish a command center."

"The cavalry brigade, mixed artillery brigade, baggage brigade, and stationed in the village entrance airfield. As the corps mobile unit, the cavalry brigade has drawn two squadrons to guard at night and is ready to attack the national rescue army's sneak attack troops at any time."

"The artillery brigade distributed half of the artillery to set up the artillery support to the infantry at any time, and attacked the national rescue army that sneaked into the country at a long distance."

At six o'clock in the evening, all the Japanese devils of four thousand people were camped.

More than 2,300 Japanese soldiers entered the village and were stationed in dozens of yards in Niuhou Village as units.

More than 400 cavalrymen were stationed at the entrance of the village, more than 400 people from the Third Battalion were stationed at the entrance of the village, and more than 500 people were stationed around the village on duty and guarding.

More than 400 people from the mixed artillery brigade were stationed at the threshing ground at the entrance of the village, and half of the mountain artillery and large-caliber mortars were covered with cannon suits and placed together.

The remaining mountain artillery was placed in the artillery position, holding the black muzzle and facing the surroundings.

The commander of the corps where Colonel Noda is located is located in the middle of the village and occupies the best houses in the village.

At this moment, several captains all gathered in front of the convoy, and discussed the daytime battle while having supper, summed up experience, and strive to attack the arsenal at the minimum cost tomorrow.

"Sir, Bei Zhi has arranged twelve heavy machine guns, twelve mortars, more than thirty grenade launchers around the village, and there are twelve mortars, eight mountain field cannons, and four large-caliber mortars are on standby. You can participate in battle at any time and provide artillery fire support to the guards." The chief of staff reported while eating.

Colonel Noda thought about the report: "Give more flares to the guards!"

"No matter what happens around the village, first fire the flares, lock the target, then use heavy machine guns to fire, and then use mortars and grenade launchers to bombard the infantry. The infantry can only defend their positions to the death and must not leave the positions and take the initiative to attack."

The Chief of Staff quickly accepted the order: "The Chief is wise, I will make arrangements for the humble position in a while!"

Colonel Noda continued to remind: "The garrison in the village must also be prepared to prevent artillery!"

"The troops are too concentrated. Once they are bombarded, the troops will suffer great losses!"

The Chief of Staff replied: "Please rest assured, Chief, we considered anti-artillery protection when the troops entered the village. The troops were stationed in various yards in the village in small groups. In order to facilitate the transfer of the troops, Beizhi asked everyone to open up all yards. If the village was bombarded, the troops would definitely be able to withdraw from the village in a very short time and minimize the damage caused by artillery fire to us!"
