The forward line moves forward, and their entire large force, as the second echelon, is ready to press forward at any time. Once opened fire, the task of the forward is to put strong pressure on the enemy.

Fully test out the enemy's firepower points and seize them to clear obstacles for large forces to attack.

The closer they are to the enemy's position, the faster they can break into the enemy's position when attacking, and they will pay less casualties.

Although Zhang Yunfei regarded Qi Dajiu and the others as a feint attack force to attract enemy firepower, he could not completely count on them.

The enemy is not a fool. Although they attract most of the enemy's troops, they will inevitably strengthen the defense on their side.

It would be equally difficult to make a surprise attack at that time, so they had to make two preparations. If Qi Dajiu gave in, he would not be able to attract many enemy defensive forces. If they wanted to attack by force, they would have to rely on themselves.

When attacking Japanese strongholds, the greatest casualties will come from the enemy's firepower points set up by fortifications such as bunkers and gun towers. As long as the enemy's firepower points can be removed or suppressed, the casualties incurred when encountering firepower interception by the Japanese and puppet troops will be much smaller.

Zhang Yunfei's troops took advantage of the darkness and quietly moved towards the defense line on the south side of the stronghold. As they approached the stronghold, suddenly there was intensive gunfire from the west. The sleeping Chiyang Town was suddenly

Completely woke up.

Zhang Yunfei glanced at the west side and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. As expected, Qi Dajiu did not disappoint him. He really did not trick him. Whoever attacks mainly and who feints depends on luck. It mainly depends on the enemy's defensive focus.

Where.

However, with his open-and-close style, he is definitely capable of pulling monsters. He was the first to be discovered by the enemy, and he was definitely blocked by heavy troops.

In fact, this was also the case. Qi Dajiu's side took the lead, but Zhang Yunfei's side did not attack immediately, but moved forward unswervingly.

But the enemy, who had been alerted at this time, was on high alert, and it was impossible for them to penetrate any further.

When they approached a trench more than 200 meters away, the Japanese, who were already on high alert, spotted them. Unexpectedly, while everyone was focusing on the west, the Eighth Route Army was almost in front of them.

Zhang Yunfei and the others had reached the end of their distance. Following the sound of a gunshot from the guard post, intensive gunfire rang out. Seeing that the fire had started in front, the only remaining heavy machine gun in the fire platoon also took the lead in opening fire.

In the last battle, they captured three heavy machine guns, but one was given to Qi Dajiu as a consolation prize, and was given to their second battalion. No matter how many heavy machine guns they kept, it would be useless.

According to the configuration of the Eighth Route Army, if a battalion has one heavy machine gun, it is already equipped with top-notch equipment. In the end, they would be thankful if they could keep one, so giving him one will make him happy for a while.

The other one was assigned to the Seventh Company as the suppressive firepower for the assault. Zhang Yunfei, who only had one heavy machine gun, could not suppress the Japanese firepower with the fortifications as the backing.

The Japanese's intensive machine gun fire made the trench where Zhang Yunfei was hiding become dusty. I wonder if the Japanese were presbyopic. What they discovered was their own large force, but the Seventh Company, which was advancing further forward, was not discovered.

Because of the blockade of trenches and Japanese barbed wire, although the two troops moved in tandem, they did not always stay on the same line. They even took circuitous routes in order to bypass obstacles or move forward in a concealed manner.

Probably because their team had more people and was less conducive to hiding, they were the first to be discovered by the Japs. Chen Haoming was not stupid. He saw that the main force was discovered, but the Japs did not discover their Seventh Company and did not act rashly.

Instead of opening fire and attacking, they quietly widened the distance between the two sides and advanced toward the enemy's position in a more covert roundabout.

Seeing Chen Haoming behaving like this, Zhang Yunfei also understood his intentions. The so-called falsehood is true, and the true is false. Now the Japanese saw that they were so numerous and powerful.

Looking at the posture of the main force, there was no doubt that he was there, and Zhang Yunfei also cooperated very well. The fight was earth-shattering, but the actual attack was just a bluff.

In addition to firing all light and heavy weapons and shouting loudly, they just crawled into shelters such as trenches, immediately dug foxholes, and held on, without actually attacking at all.

Now they have really become a feint attack force, which can be regarded as a cover for the Seventh Company's sudden advance. At the same time, it also relieves some pressure on Qi Dajiu and others. After all, there are so many of them here.

The Japanese couldn't just leave them alone. They should go to Qi Dajiu and fight with his Second Battalion to death.

In short, they just built up their momentum and looked like they were going to attack by force. Anyway, at night, the Japanese couldn't observe the specific details of their position.

In fact, they were just lying on the ground and shooting at the Japanese. Zhang Yunfei had to let the troops carry out earthwork operations and dig temporary trenches.

The Japs' marksmanship and firepower are accurate and ruthless. Their problem now is not to attack, but to give the troops a bunker. Otherwise, they will just rely on this shallow and flat trench as a bunker. It won't take long for their troops to

There would have to be a lot of casualties.

The swift and violent attack immediately frightened the Japanese. Gunfire continued from the west side, mixed with the explosion of grenades and the roar of heavy machine guns.

The same is true for the enemy in the south. We have been dealing with the Eighth Route Army for more than a day or two. With this formation, both sides have the main force, so we don't know which side they will launch the main attack from.

At this time, the commander of the stronghold, Yinchi Liangfu, was in a very good mood. It was a great blessing for these Eight Route Army soldiers to come.

During the humiliating defeat last time, he managed to save his life, but his life was not easy either. Although, the reprimand order from above was not issued, nor was he relieved of his duties.

But his subordinates all looked at him strangely, with a hint of surprise and contempt, as if to say, why are you still alive and kicking?

Because according to the general procedure, for their humiliating defeat, they should cut themselves open and die to apologize, which is the way of the samurai.

Now his behavior of trying to survive is very despising.

However, Yoshio Hikichi felt that he was wronged. It was all caused by the security forces, and now he was asked to take the blame. This was a bit unfair.

The defeat happened so quickly and violently that he was not given any time to react. Of course, he was completely confused. This was a defeat without a fight.

He didn't expect that things would turn out like that. After escaping back to the station, he was also under great pressure. He locked himself in the room several times, wanting to stab himself in the stomach twice and die like a warrior.

In fact, this is pure nonsense. Cutting one's own belly, no one can bear such pain, let alone taking it and poking it in, it is really impossible to do it.

Under normal circumstances, he would do it symbolically by himself, and others would do the rest. He didn't ask anyone to monitor him. In fact, he just didn't want to die. Why would he die if he was doing a good job?
