Waiting made people anxious, because this stronghold could be attacked by the Eighth Route Army at any time. What made him depressed was that the night passed and the next day's day also passed, and the Eighth Route Army's attack did not come.

The lazy security forces no longer take seriously their orders to strengthen their guard. After all, there is only one platoon of Tubal Road in the surrounding area. Now they still have a strength advantage in this stronghold. In addition to the fortifications and other fortifications, theoretically the Eighth Route Army can come to attack.

The possibility is still very low.

Even Sergeant Eguchi doubted whether he was worrying too much. These bastards were not as courageous as he had expected.

Late at night on the second day, or to be precise, early in the morning on the third day.

Snapped……

The gunfire came as promised.

This made Sergeant Eguchi's heart suddenly relax. He ignored the continuous sound of gunfire outside, calmly picked up the signal gun that had been prepared, came to the open space, and fired a shot into the sky.

With a whoosh, a red signal flare rose into the night sky, lighting up the dark night.

Zhang Yunfei, who was advancing towards the Shigou stronghold in the dark, had no choice but to let everyone hide and wait. The signal flares illuminated the vast land a lot. It was not a good thing to completely expose the troops to the enemy's sight.

Looking at the flares that were as bright as fireworks, Zhang Yunfei had to sigh that the puppet troops were really afraid of death. They had just launched an attack and immediately sent out a distress signal.

However, with a place like Shigou's back, the reinforcements probably wouldn't be able to arrive before dawn, and they would have to run like a dead dog like Qi Dajiu. Obviously, they are not that efficient.

The stronghold is different from the artillery building. It mainly consists of barracks buildings. There used to be more than ten families living here in Shigou, but they were driven away by the puppet army. They built this camp based on the village according to local conditions.

The puppet army also built machine gun bunkers and other fortifications on the periphery. Now the night is illuminated by signal flares, and their bodies are completely exposed. This is not a good thing.

This time, their first and second platoons attacked on the left and right wings. Sun Zhiqiang's third platoon provided support in the center, suppressing the enemy's firepower. Now the light of the flare disrupted the rhythm of the attack.

Click...click...click...click...the sound of gunshots rang lively from the left side.

Zhang Yunfei's side was quiet, but Qi Dajiu's fight on the other side was lively. Zhang Yunfei's face turned green, this bear was so reckless, would he die if he advanced a minute and a half slower?

This stronghold is well built, but fortunately it is not a Japanese garrison, but a puppet army garrison, so the weapons and equipment are limited compared to the Eighth Route Army. There is only one light machine gun in one company, and the puppet soldiers were escaped when they were still in Wangjia Village.

They were taken away, so now there is only a crooked trick given to them by the Japanese.

Obviously, the machine gun is now targeting Qi Dajiu's second row. This guy is unlucky enough. The machine gun is actually the best at attacking the tactic of rushing. If it can suppress you, you won't be able to raise your head, and you'll still be confused.

Of course, it is impossible to sweep a large area. The soldiers charge in a skirmish line. It is impossible to crowd together like fools and act as a living target for others.

Fortunately, Qi Dajiu's second platoon charged hard enough to withstand the enemy's fierce firepower. His second platoon were all veterans with combat experience.

If his platoon really wasn't able to resist, now his platoon only has less than one-third veterans, and the other two-thirds are all recruits who have just learned how to shoot but have never let go of their guns.

They can't even move in order now, and have no tactical qualities at all except running and marching.

It's strange that such a troop would have weak legs and be unable to walk despite being attacked by heavy firepower.

That reckless man Qi Dajiu has already launched an attack. He can no longer advance slowly here. Otherwise, all the pressure will be passed on to them. His small physique in the second row may not be able to withstand it.

Zhang Yunfei felt that he would always be dragged into a ditch when fighting Qi Dajiu, and would become reckless in the end. Zhang Yunfei had no choice but to order his platoon to rush forward quickly to attack the puppet army's right defense line.

Bang... bang... gunshots began to sound as they approached.

The flickering muzzle flash was accompanied by the bullets being discharged, and they rushed out of the puppet army's barracks with a strange scream, and hit the ground beside a row of people, making the new recruits who had never been on the battlefield panic.

"Don't panic, keep your body down." The squad leaders of each class began to comfort the recruits.

Zhang Yunfei did not interfere with the command of each squad leader. In terms of combat experience, the veterans in the current platoon can be said to be the best in the entire regiment. They can still suppress this situation.

With a bang, Zhang Yunfei in the darkness quickly pulled the bolt of the gun, pushed a bullet into the chamber, leveled the rifle, and with the help of the tiny flash of light, pulled the trigger without hesitation.

But based on my feeling, this shot should have missed. In this blurry night, shooting depends entirely on feeling.

The shooting back and forth between the two sides was lively, but there were no casualties. The Eighth Route Army soldiers' marksmanship was not very good, and the puppet soldiers' marksmanship was also not very good. If we go forward a few months, everyone would be farmers.

Although the puppet troops follow the Japanese, they have to raise their own weapons and equipment. They are also not rich and have insufficient training.

With a snap, Zhang Yunfei swung his rifle slightly and fired again, following the fireworks at the muzzle. It seemed like a black shadow fell down, and he must have been hit.

Because the second platoon of Qi Dajiu had absorbed most of the firepower, and the number of puppet troops at the Shigou stronghold was insufficient, the first platoon quickly occupied the first position of the puppet troops.

The Shigou stronghold itself is a village. It was transformed into a stronghold military camp after being occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops. Many private houses were not completely demolished, only the upper part was demolished. Many foundation walls are still there, which became a natural position for the puppet troops.

The army used these buildings to fight and retreat, and started street fighting with them.

For the Eighth Route Army, this was a completely unfamiliar tactic, and the troops began to suffer casualties.

When they attacked from the outside, there were no casualties without any bunkers. Now that they have attacked, these walls serve as cover, but there are casualties.

In this era, those who can accurately hit the target from 150 to 200 meters are considered veterans with relatively accurate marksmanship. Those who can hit the target from 200 meters away are considered accurate shooters, and those who can hit the target from 400 meters away are considered special shooters.

Humanoids generally only appear in the Japanese army, and our soldiers rarely have such shooters.

So when we were on the periphery, the distance between the two sides was quite far, and it was normal for them to miss. But now the street fighting is different. The puppet troops also don’t know what street fighting is, but people are familiar with this place. The distance between the two sides is very close, and often there are only a few steps between them
