The first company commander frowned and asked, "Battery Commander, the Japanese defended themselves with their strongholds and artillery towers, and there is no favorable terrain around us that we can use. Apart from strong attacks, I can't think of any other way!"

Instructor Wang Bo comforted: "Don't worry, the battalion commander has already thought of it. Just last night, the regiment commander sent us a secret weapon. With this secret weapon in hand, we will definitely be able to take the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in front of us!"

After saying that, he asked Xiong Changhe: "Battalion Commander, the time is almost over. Give the order, and the troops will prepare early. Tonight, the faster we will take the stronghold, the better. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain to be transferred!"

"I order: Second Company plus the firepower company heavy machine gun platoon, Second Company Commander, come to command, come out as soon as it gets dark, bypass the Japanese stronghold, and advance along the highway to block the Japanese and puppet troops that may be sent out in Linfen City. I don't care what method you use? Be sure to persevere until four o'clock in the morning before retreating!"

"I personally command the others, have supper at six o'clock, and act at seven o'clock, and then attack the Japanese and puppet troops. You will know how to fight in detail!"

At around seven o'clock in the evening, the Japanese squadron leader was about to rest when his second lieutenant squadron leader rushed into the room.

"Sir, the guards on the roof of the artillery tower are now moving around the forest. Because the distance is too far and I don't see clearly, they ask the artillery to fire flares!"

"Eighth Route Army? They still couldn't help but come!" The squadron leader sat up from the bed, picked up his telescope and gun and walked out.

After climbing to the roof of the artillery tower, he raised his telescope and ordered: "Shot the flares! If the Eighth Route Army really dares to attack us at this time, I will definitely wipe them out of the stronghold!"

"Wuwuwu..." Three flares took off, and the Japanese squadron leader saw the Eighth Route Army on the edge of the forest two or three hundred meters away at a glance.

"It was indeed the Eighth Route Army, who ordered all the troops to enter the position and prepare for combat!" The squadron leader ordered with excitement on his face.

The second lieutenant next to him then reminded: "Sir, do you want to contact the grain robbery troops entering the Eighth Route Army base, or contact the captain of Linfen City!"

"No, the enemy has not even attacked and reported it to the superiors. How do you speak and what to say? If the report is serious, the superiors will say that we are afraid of death and deliberately exaggerate the enemy's situation!"

"Wait for a while and see the situation. Our firepower is so strong that as long as the Eighth Route Army attacking our attacking us is not equipped with heavy artillery, we can't do anything to us."

Every five minutes next, the squadron leader would ask the artillery to fire a flare to ensure that the Eighth Route Army had no chance to attack him.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!" A Japanese soldier guarded on the roof of the artillery tower shouted loudly.

"Dadada..."

Before he could finish his words, dense and harsh gunshots rang out outside the artillery tower.

As a flare was lifted off, dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed towards the stronghold with rifles.

Behind them, three heavy machine guns kept firing at the artillery tower. The whizzing bullets were fired at the artillery tower like money, causing bullets to fly across the exterior walls of the artillery tower to splash, and sparks were splashing everywhere. From time to time, several bullets flew into the artillery tower from the shooting hole.

"Ah...Baga..."

Two screams sounded in the artillery tower. Two machine gunners were knocked over by bullets and fell into the artillery tower. One of the machine gunners died on the spot, and the other machine gunner was not dead, but bloody holes and screams kept emitting from their chests, which meant that they would not live for too long.

At the beginning of the battle, the subordinates suffered casualties, and a bad premonition quickly appeared in the squadron leader's mind.

But the squadron leader was not panicked, and he made a decision with a frown: "Order the artillery and uninterrupted flares!"

In other aspects, a heavy machine gun was transferred to suppress the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower!"

"The others fight against the Eighth Route Army's offensive forces, and wait until they approach, kill them!"

The Japanese reacted very quickly. Not long after, the artillery tower was covered by dense gunfire. At least six flames were intertwined with each other, blocking the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Woooooooo..." Suddenly, the scream of shells passing through the sky reached the ears of the squadron leader.

The squadron leader's face changed and he shouted: "It's a shelling, order the artillery, and fight back immediately!"

At this moment, an accident occurred. The shells hitting with a scream did not explode, but instead a stream of red smoke emerged outside the stronghold!

The squadron leader's tense face just now not only did not continue to be nervous, but instead became relaxed.

He said with a look of contempt: "It was made of pepper bullets made by the Eighth Route Army! They underestimated the Imperial Army too much. With the first failure experience, the Imperial Army had learned lessons and prepared for it!"

"Everyone wears gas masks. Today we will take advantage of the Eighth Route Army's contempt for us, their arrogance, and kill them!"

"Light and heavy machine guns, continue to shoot, block the 100-meter-long position outside the stronghold, and block the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

"The eighth Route Army has insufficient ammunition, the shelling cannot last for too long, and we are not vegetarians either. As long as their shelling is over and the chili smoke surrounding us dissipates, our counterattack time will come!"

Soon the surroundings of the artillery tower were covered with strong smoke. Although the flares were hit into the sky one after another, the squadron leader still could not see the situation outside the stronghold.

"Add the firepower, continue shooting!" the squadron leader, who was already a little anxious, shouted loudly.

However, he still had no intention of asking for help from his superiors.

The stronghold is still firmly in his own hands, and the Eighth Route Army exposed only a few dozen offensive troops. The squadron leader was confident that he could defend the stronghold and eliminate the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops.

In the artillery tower, more and more light and heavy machine guns joined the battle.

The whizzing bullets flew out of the artillery tower, and an airtight bullet net was woven outside the stronghold to kill all the Eighth Route Army who wanted to rush to the stronghold.

However, the Japanese squadron leader did not expect that his opponent had no intention of attacking.

After rushing to the outside of the stronghold for more than 100 meters, the offensive troops who had suffered a considerable loss stopped directly.

Lean on the ground, with the rifle on his back, and then he picked up the engineer's shovel and started digging trenches on the ground.

In less than ten minutes, a small pit appeared in front of them. The digging soil was directly piled up in front of the pit, forming a small bunker to block the bullets fired from the front.

"Continue to dig trenches, deepen and widen the trenches. The secret weapons given to us by the regiment commander will be arranged here later. We must ensure the safety of the secret weapons!" The first company commander, who had touched the position, ordered anxiously.

Dozens of soldiers all had their own individual bunkers, and began to connect the individual bunkers into a trench. When they deepened and widened, the red smoke surrounding the artillery tower was finally blown away in a gust of wind.

"It's a trench. They plan to dig trenches outside the stronghold to shorten the attack distance!" The Japanese squadron leader reacted quickly and could see at a glance the purpose of the first battalion digging trenches.

Then he ordered in a hurry: "Mortars, grenade launchers, fire immediately and kill the Eighth Route Army who are digging trenches outside the stronghold!"

"Also, contact Linfen City immediately. We were attacked by the Eighth Route Army and request support!"
