According to the previous plan, Kong Jie's independent regiment was not in a hurry to attack.

However, in order to confuse the little Japanese, the soldiers were not idle. They had been building fortifications and getting ready to attack.

But as time goes by, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Japanese.

Yamazaki Jihei raised his head and forgot to glance at the sky. The sun was setting in the west and it was almost dark.

In winter, the days are short and it gets dark early, as soon as it gets dark.

Yamazaki Jihei frowned and said, "It's getting dark, but they never launched an attack?"

A Japanese officer next to him said: "There is indeed something strange, but it should be because they suffered too many losses in the previous attack and were too frightened to attack at all."

Yamazaki Jihei shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think it's that simple."

At this time, another Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, Captain, according to my humble observation, these Tuba Road people have been busy building defensive positions. Maybe they want to trap us here."

"Hmph~!"

Yamazaki Jihei snorted coldly and said, "Our enemies are not that stupid."

"They must have received the news and know that our reinforcements are arriving quickly."

"It stands to reason that at this time, they should either retreat quickly to preserve their strength."

"Either we strive for a quick victory. Time will never be wasted."

The scene fell into silence, and all the little devils present began to think seriously about this issue.

On the battlefield, any detail may directly determine the outcome of the battle.

The military quality of these Japanese officers was still very high, so they did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

After a while, a Japanese lieutenant said: "Your Excellency, Captain, maybe they are afraid of being bombed by our aircraft when they attack during the day, so they choose to attack at night."

"Or they are preparing to attack us at night."

"Yes, yes, yes~!"

Another Japanese officer also quickly said: "These damn Tubal Road are best at sneak attacks and other tactics. They must be preparing to launch a sneak attack at night."

Hearing this, Yamazaki Jihei couldn't help but frown.

After pondering for a moment, Yamazaki Jihei also believed that this was the most likely possibility.

The old devil immediately ordered: "Send the order immediately and be on strict guard to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks at night."

"Each squadron takes turns on duty, and there must be no slacking off!"

"If the enemy really dares to make a sneak attack, give me a severe beating and teach these hateful thugs a lesson."

"Hai!"

The little Japanese officer present responded quickly.

It soon became dark.

After dark, the little devils were always on tight alert.

However, nothing unusual was ever found. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army had no intention of launching a sneak attack at this time.

But at this time, the little devil also gradually heard some sounds coming from below.

Even Yamazaki Jihei, an old Japanese soldier, couldn't sleep and came to the forward position.

"Is there anything going on?"

A Japanese lieutenant said respectfully: "We have been watching and found no sign of the enemy attacking."

"I just heard the sound of enemy troops digging trenches below, and the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer."

"I suspect that they are still building a large number of fortifications."

"But because it was dark, I couldn't see clearly."

"Baga~!"

Yamazaki Jihei couldn't help but cursed, and then said: "Send the flare immediately."

"We must not be careless in the slightest, especially at this time. We must keep a close eye on every move of the enemy."

"Hai!"

The Japanese lieutenant responded quickly and then passed on the order.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~"

Amidst the ear-piercing whistling sound, several flares slowly rose into the air and gradually emitted dazzling light. The light gradually dispelled the darkness, and the situation on the Eighth Route Army position opposite gradually became visible to the Japanese.

Yamazaki Jihei, an old devil, immediately opened his eyes and observed carefully.

"Bagaya deer~!"

"They are digging tunnels and are gradually approaching us!"

Although the old devil Yamazaki Jihei is a bit arrogant, he is not that kind of foolhardy person.

This guy also graduated from the Japs Army University, and this old Japs has pretty good commanding abilities.

His mind was also very flexible, so the old Japanese quickly guessed the general intention of the Eighth Route Army.

This old devil knew very well that once the Eighth Route Army was allowed to gradually approach, it would inevitably have a negative impact on them.

At this time, Yamazaki Jihei's frown deepened, and the old Japanese began to think seriously about how to deal with this tactic of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the flares gradually went out, and the surroundings were once again swallowed up by darkness.

Yamazaki Jihei had thoroughly figured out that the Eighth Route Army deliberately dug these trenches and tunnels under the cover of darkness to achieve the purpose of approaching the Japanese positions.

"These damn Tubal are so cunning, we must stop them."

The Japanese lieutenant also figured out the key and quickly said: "Your Excellency, Captain, how can we stop them?"

Yamazaki Jihei said angrily: "Concentrate your firepower on me and hit me hard!"

Following Yamazaki Jihei's order, the Japs immediately mobilized their machine guns and grenade launchers, aiming at the Eighth Route Army position below and firing fiercely.

"Da da da~!"

Amidst the intensive gunfire, strings of bullets flew quickly and hit the ground, splashing up clouds of dust.

"Chirp chirp chirp~!"

Amidst the harsh whistling sound, Type 91 grenades were also thrown over.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and pieces of fire shot into the sky.

But the little devil wasted a lot of ammunition, but the effect was minimal.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers who were digging hid in the trenches and kept digging forward.

Whether it is machine gun fire or mortars, it is difficult to hit them.

Therefore, the Japanese wasted a lot of ammunition and had no effect at all.

At most, it only slowed down the Eighth Route Army's excavation speed.

Yamazaki Jihei also quickly discovered this. The old Japanese was furious, but he had no choice but to order a temporary stop to shooting.

At this time, another Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, Captain, otherwise, we will take the initiative to prevent them from approaching our position."

Yamazaki Jihei frowned and said: "If we let them come closer and shorten the attack distance, they will pose a huge threat to us."

"But there are still certain dangers if you take the initiative."

The Japanese officer said: "That's better than sitting still and waiting to be killed."

Yamazaki Jihei frowned and said, "I didn't expect these Tubal Roads to be so difficult to deal with."

"Then give it a try and organize an attack immediately."
