This night attack by the Japanese army caused a lot of casualties to Zhao Zhiguo and his regiment. More than 230 soldiers were stabbed with bayonets, and more than 50 people died in the subsequent artillery fire.

"Captain, we suffered some casualties this time, at least 400 casualties! The main reason is that when the Japanese army reached the front of the position, our soldiers did not notice it and were caught off guard."

Gao Cang lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhao Zhiguo. He knew that the heavy casualties in the army tonight were all his responsibility. If the situation on the battlefield could be discovered in advance, they would at least reduce the casualties by half of the soldiers in this attack.

"I don't blame you this time!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "I was too anxious to attack the Japanese army, so I neglected the defense work on the position."

If it were normal, Zhao Zhiguo would definitely patrol the forward positions after dark to make all units more vigilant and arrange for each second lieutenant. Moreover, he had transferred all the veterans who could fight in advance, which also led to the Japanese attack

At the time, they were at the forefront of chaos.

"Commander, are we going to attack the Japanese army tonight?" Gao Cang asked.

The Japanese army attacked them once, which made Gao Cang a little worried.

"It's rude to come without reciprocating. It's just half past twelve, so there's still enough time!"

Since Masao Murano gave him a big gift, Zhao Zhiguo naturally wanted to return it, and the Japanese shelling just now made Zhao Zhiguo think of a good way to knock out Masao Murano's headquarters.

"But...Captain..." Gao Cang continued to say something.

Zhao Zhiguo interrupted Gao Cang. He knew what Gao Cang was going to say and understood Gao Cang's worries: "I believe you can hold your position."

"Captain, what's wrong, the Japanese prisoners of war have escaped!" Qin Dongsheng hurriedly reported to Zhao Zhiguo.

While they were fighting with the Japanese troops who were attacking at night, the Japanese prisoners of war captured by Zhao Zhiguo took the opportunity to escape.

When Zhao Zhiguo heard the news, he was so angry that he almost couldn't hold his breath. If the Japanese prisoners of war escaped back to the Japanese camp, they would definitely tell Masao Murano everything, and Zhao Zhiguo and the others would lose control of their night attack.

.

Zhao Zhiguo paced back and forth on the battlefield impatiently. Gao Cang and Qin Dongsheng looked at Zhao Zhiguo, not knowing what to do.

"Assemble the troops. The plan for the night attack remains unchanged. We need to change the target of the attack."

Zhao Zhiguo couldn't swallow this breath, but at this time he already had an idea and adjusted his combat goals.

On the position, almost all the people left behind were new soldiers. Zhao Zhiguo left the position with 150 veterans and 50 new soldiers, and marched towards the Japanese camp according to the route they had scouted.

"Ahead is where the Japanese patrol is patrolling!"

Not far ahead, Liu Qingsheng broke his arm while carrying Japanese prisoners of war. It was there that Zhao Zhiguo captured a Japanese armored vehicle and they were able to escape and ascend to heaven.

"Captain, should we go around?" Qin Dongsheng asked.

"Get rid of the Japanese patrol!" Zhao Zhiguo shook his head.

"Get rid of the patrol?" Qin Dongsheng didn't understand why Zhao Zhiguo did this. Wasn't this just a warning?

Their plan was to attack the Japanese army at night. What is an attack? It means quietly approaching the enemy and then launching a sudden attack. If the enemy patrol is knocked out, it will be clear that they will tell Masao Murano that they are coming to attack.

"The little devil's tongue must be running away faster than our marching speed! Masao Murano must also know that I am trying to distract his headquarters. If we attack his headquarters at this time, wouldn't we be fools? What do you think?

Will I be a fool?"

Zhao Zhiguo and the others had already lost the opportunity to attack the Japanese headquarters. Since they had missed it, they should not rush to catch up. After all, if they could not catch up step by step or step by step, they might as well adjust their direction.

"Captain, you are not a fool, but I am becoming more and more confused now!" Qin Dongsheng couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhiguo was going to do.

"Our target is the Japanese artillery position. Once the gunfire rings out, Murano Masao will definitely concentrate his troops to protect his headquarters."

Originally, Masao Murano's headquarters was Zhao Zhiguo's first target, but since it had lost the effect of raiding the Japanese commander's headquarters, they aimed at the second target.

"Captain, I understand!" After saying this, Qin Dongsheng led a platoon of soldiers toward the Japanese patrol.

"Everyone spread out and looked for favorable terrain. Machine guns were set up on both wings, and the grenade launchers were adjusted to the shooting angle in advance."

Following Zhao Zhiguo's order, all the soldiers immediately dispersed and each looked for a favorable position.

Qin Dongsheng's side was also ready for battle. Because of the loss of an armored vehicle, the Japanese army did not send out armored vehicles to patrol anymore, but replaced the armored vehicles with infantry.

Seeing a group of soldiers appear in the field of vision with flashlights, Qin Dongsheng gestured to the soldiers, asking them to each aim at a target and wait for his order.

"Bang bang bang"

With Qin Dongsheng's wave of his hand, eight soldiers from the Japanese patrol were shot and fell without even a chance to react.

"The four of you go up and get their weapons and ammunition back, while the rest of you take cover!"

After plundering the weapons and ammunition from the Japanese corpses, Qin Dongsheng and his soldiers immediately went back to join Zhao Zhiguo.

After ambushing the Japanese patrol, Zhao Zhiguo did not rush to order the troops to continue marching, but continued to wait at the same place to ambush the Japanese troops who came to support them again.

Sure enough, in less than three minutes, a Japanese squad appeared in the darkness. They saw the bodies of their soldiers and immediately alerted the surroundings, but they did not know that there was a group of people staring at them in the darkness.

"beat!"

Zhao Zhiguo ordered.

"Da da da"

The machine gun fired first, and the bullets streaked across the night sky like meteors in the dark night and disappeared into the distance.

A round of machine gun fire knocked down a dozen little Japs. The remaining Japs quickly lay down on the spot and tried to fight back, but the grenade had already been aimed at their lying position.

"Boom boom boom"

After several explosions, the little Japanese lost their combat effectiveness, and a Japanese squad was all killed in just two minutes.

"Quick pass!"

Zhao Zhiguo and the others did not have time to clean the battlefield, but ordered the troops to continue marching forward. Further forward, they would reach the raised hill.

Masao Murano also heard gunshots outside the camp. He knew that his patrol had been defeated by Zhao Zhiguo. He did not order reinforcements because the soldiers quickly reported to Masao Murano that a team they went to support had another attack.

The whole army was wiped out.
