The little devils first clamored for the destruction of China in three months. It has been more than two years now, but China is still there. Not only is it still there, the Eighth Route Army, which had only 40 to 50 thousand people two years ago, now has more than 200,000 people.

The troops and equipment have also been replaced with cannons.

Moreover, the development space of this Eighth Route was developed within the Japanese-occupied areas, which can be called a miracle.

The little devil has actually noticed this problem, but there is no specific data. He only knows that there are more and more eight-way attacks, but he doesn't know how much more there is.

This attack on southeastern Shanxi really made the Japanese feel the power and difficulty of the Eighth Route Army. If nothing else, just the several fireworks and cannon ambushes on the first day made the Japanese feel the pain.

What if, because of the eight-pronged sneak attack, the Japs still felt that they were not at fault? Then Li Yunlong’s battle the day before yesterday frightened the Japs. But fear only strengthened the Japs’ determination to eliminate the main force of the 129th Division.

Determination. If you don’t eliminate it, you really can’t defeat it...

"Comrades fought well, hahaha, a small group of Japanese were all knocked down! Hahaha... Hurry up, let the comrades of the 5th company withdraw into the rear anti-gun holes to take shelter! Tell the 6th company to join the 5th company

, take over the front position." Chen Quan, the second battalion's headquarters, laughed and made a new decision.

"The battalion commander...the regiment commander said, let the comrades be careful to prevent the Japanese from releasing poison gas! Let everyone prepare towels and water!" the communications soldier came over and said.

"Reply, let the leader rest assured. Comrades all have towels and kettles with them. If anything goes wrong, use them immediately." Shen Quan replied.

"Understood!" the signal soldier turned back to the telephone and replied.

"Hurry, leave the observation post, and the rest of the team will quickly strengthen the fortifications. Come and send the wounded down!" On the 5th company position, the comrades were not idle either. They had just repelled an attack, and they just took the opportunity to reinforce the area that had just been bombarded by artillery fire.

Destroyed fortifications to prepare for the next attack.

"Company Commander 5..." The communications soldier from the battalion headquarters ran over again.

"What? Are you asking us to withdraw? Okay!" The 5th company commander knew that this was his battalion commander's turn, so he did not object and led the soldiers to evacuate the position.

The movements of the 5th Company were naturally seen by the reconnaissance planes in the sky, but they ignored them and lowered their altitude after notifying the ground troops.

"Woo... da da da da..." Two planes passed by the artillery battery position behind them, leaving four bullet marks on the hillside. Looking at the direction of the bullet marks, they happened to hit several fake artillery positions.

.

"Well, it's not bad. I just bought my clothes, a few bundles of straw, a few wooden stakes, and exchanged them for so many bullets from the Japanese. I made a profit!" In the air-raid shelter of the artillery company, Xing Dezheng looked at the smashed scarecrow with satisfaction, and faced

The artillerymen on the side said.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom, boom, boom..." At this moment, the same eight 90mm mortar shells flew over from the south and exploded one by one on the hillside.

"Damn, thank goodness we're back! The Japs' mortars are much more powerful than ours!" Tang Jiangyong said with some lingering fear as he looked at a destroyed mortar combat pit.

"Yes, the little devil's equipment is good. At least their mountain cannons are beyond our reach! But this mortar... Xiao Tang, push back his position and kill them later!" Xing Dezheng said.

"Okay! I'll contact the superiors right now!" Tang Jiangyong picked up the phone and contacted the artillery observation post, preparing to push back against the Japanese artillery positions.

"The Eighth Route Army is changing defenses? Did the attack just now cause heavy casualties to them?" On the Japs side, Captain Kawada pondered.

"No matter, there is a regiment of the Eighth Route Army opposite us, and it is also the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army. They can still afford these casualties. And we...tell Kuangfu Sato to organize two small teams to attack the Eighth Route Army's main position again.

Send another small team to move north along the river valley to conduct fire reconnaissance on the flank defenses of the Eighth Route Army!" Captain Kawada gave new instructions.

Kawada's order soon reached the Japs' offensive position. The Endo gangster in charge, Major, quickly mobilized three teams and divided them into two groups to launch another attack on the independent regiment's position.

The only difference is that there was no artillery bombardment against the independent regiment before the Japanese attack this time, and even the heavy machine guns behind the formation were only six, which was miserable.

"In this attack, don't rush to capture the opposite position. Remember, you control the distance between 300 meters and 200 meters, and Dogan conducts precise sniping battles from all eight directions on the opposite side! Remember, our marksmanship is better

, the gun is also better, you must not use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points."

"When you attack, our mortars will assist you with artillery fire!" Endo said to the attacking Japanese.

"Hai!" After the military commanders of the three teams nodded, they led the team to organize the attack again.

This time the Japs played a dirty trick. These two teams were actually decoys to attract the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in front. When the Eighth Route Army and the Japs exchanged fire from a distance, the Japs' mortars also fell.

At the same time, the 5th and 6th companies also completed a temporary defense change on the battlefield.

"Haha, Lao He, you fought well just now. Take your comrades back to rest quickly. It's our turn now!" In the trench at the forward position, 6th Company Elder Wan said to the dirty 5th Company Elder He.

.

"Well, fight well and don't embarrass our battalion! We will wait for you at the back position!" Lao He patted his old comrade on the shoulder and returned with the 5th company.

The Second Battalion changed its defense, and the Japs attacked again. More than ten minutes passed quietly. During this period, the Japs' mortars continued to shoot across the ridge behind them. Under the guidance of the Japs reconnaissance plane, all the people in the back mountain were destroyed.

Suspected mortar positions were all bombed.

"Okay, adjust the coordinates and aim at the forward position of the Eighth Route Army!" Feeling that it was almost done, the Japanese mortars were aimed at the 6th Company.

"I'm asking for death..." Endo waved his sword in person, directing the attacking Japanese to leave their offensive position.

"Kill..." The little devils came out of their own positions, quickly went down the mountain, and then climbed up the mountain with difficulty when they reached the bottom of the ditch.

"Xiao Tang, the Japanese artillery fire has stopped, you go ahead! This time, you should aim at the Japanese artillery and blow up those mortars!" Xing Dezheng said to Tang Jiangyong from behind.

"Don't worry, commander! The Japs' artillery can't escape!" Tang Jiangyong saluted and led the artillery battery out of the air-raid shelter quickly.

"Nani, Ono-kun, return to the ground and fly from behind the Eighth Route Army position again!" In the sky, the Japs' reconnaissance aircraft observers discovered traces of the artillery company, and a Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft returned to the artillery company.
Chapter completed!
