After the special brigade entered the position, the garrison patrols were never attacked again, and the entire blockade became quiet again.
"Ohara-kun, are there any Eighth Route Army figures outside? They like to go out at night." A Japanese sergeant just walked into the stronghold with a tired look, and the squad leader on duty asked.
"Sir, it's calm outside, there's no movement!" the Japanese military officer immediately replied.
"Yo Xi, it seems that the Eighth Route Army inside the mountain was frightened by our special brigade and did not dare to come out. Ten days have passed, and not a single Eighth Route Army has appeared near our blockade!" the team leader said with an arrogant look.
"Woooooooooo..." Suddenly, a familiar scream came over him.
The squad leader's expression changed and he shouted out loud: "Baga, it's a shelling!"
"Didn't you just say there was no movement outside? Then where did this shelling come from!"
"Boom, boom..." The sound of the explosion of the artillery shells reached the squad leader's ears like thunder, along with the screams of his subordinates.
"Enter the position immediately, the Eighth Route Army is coming, they are going to break out of the mountain!" The squad leader continued to shout when he saw the three subordinates who were killed outside from the shooting hole.
Soon, the squadron leader rushed over.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army must be trying to break through from us. A total of six mortars are firing! The ones attacking us must be the main force of the new regiment in the mountains!" the squad leader reported hurriedly.
The squadron leader frowned.
But soon he began to issue orders: "All troops, enter the position immediately!"
"Report to the headquarters that we are under attack by the main force of the new regiment, requesting reinforcements!"
The bombardment ended not long after, and then the Japanese saw a large group of sparse figures appearing at the foot of the mountain. Everyone held an engineering shovel in their hands and worked hard to dig trenches at the foot of the mountain.
"It is indeed the main force of the new regiment, at least three hundred people!" the squadron leader judged.
His face was very heavy, and he hesitated before ordering: "Send another telegram to the headquarters to confirm that it is the main force of the new regiment that is attacking us. They are digging trenches and seem to be planning to break through our blockade through the trenches and request reinforcements!"
After being equipped with cars, the Japs' mobility was greatly improved, and reinforcements arrived in less than half an hour.
A squadron of Japanese troops blocked the mountain pass and began digging trenches, assuming a defensive posture, intending to block the new regiment inside the mountain.
"Yo Xi, this time the Eighth Route Army in the mountains can't fly past our blockade even if they put their arms on it!" the Japanese squadron leader in the gun tower said with confidence.
Then he couldn't help complaining: "If the headquarters hadn't repeatedly emphasized that we were not allowed to take the initiative, I really wanted to go out now, attack from three sides, and kill the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it was just gone."
Wang Ping and Zhong Chenggong lay on a ridge less than two hundred meters away from the battlefield, holding up binoculars and staring at the pitch-black battlefield.
"Captain, the Japanese reinforcements are also building blocking positions at the mountain pass. They seem to only want to block us and have no intention of counterattacking us!" the guard company commander next to him reported angrily.
He thought about the breakout battle more than a month ago.
It was only when the Japanese reinforcements suddenly stood in front of him that he didn't send the three frames out in succession, and he suffered heavy losses.
Hong Ruijun still remembers it in his heart, and swears in his heart that sooner or later he will find these devils and avenge the sacrificed soldiers.
Now he found a squadron of Japs, equipped with three heavy machine guns and three mortars, and the defensive positions were the same as the ones he saw last time. They must be the same enemy, and the commanders are the same.
"The Japs are just waiting for us to attack them! Wear us with minimal casualties and kill us." Wang Ping saw the Japs' plan at a glance.
Then he was relieved and decided: "Since the old rivals are here, let's attack them first!"
"Last time I killed many of our comrades, this time I will eat them, tooth for tooth!"
Zhong Chenggong actually laughed at this time: "Captain, I am sure that the Japanese in Linfen City will never imagine that your attack on the blockade is false, but your attack on their reinforcements is true!"
Wang Ping nodded and replied: "We have to let them not think about it, so that we can catch a few more big fish here!"
Then he stared at the guard company Hong Ruijun and ordered: "Captain Hong, if you want to take revenge, I will give you a chance now!"
"Please give the order, commander!" Hong Ruijun replied with gleaming eyes.
Wang Ping's face slowly became serious, and then he ordered: "Take your men, and I will give you all the light machine guns of the first battalion. Go out from the secret passage, get behind the Japanese, launch a sudden attack, and kill them!"
"
"The first and second battalions, set up the heavy machine guns for me, and cooperate with the attack from the front!"
"Third Battalion, keep an eye on the Japanese stronghold on the hill. No matter who it is, as long as it dares to come out, I will kill it!"
"The artillery battery is divided into two, the first and second platoons attack the Japanese blocking the mountain pass, and the third platoon attacks the Japanese in the stronghold!"
"Now set the time, prepare for half an hour, and in half an hour, based on the sound of gunfire from the guard company, attack directly!"
"Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe, please pay attention. Both of your battalions are under fire from the Japanese stronghold on the top of the mountain. You must hide and control casualties!"
The squadron leader of the Japanese reinforcements was holding a command knife and admiring the surrounding scenery with a contented expression. Although everything was pitch black and he couldn't see much, he still had a smile on his face and was not nervous at all before the battle.
More than a month ago, I fought a blocking battle.
There was no blocking position at that time, but after he concentrated his firepower and beat up the Eighth Route Army's breakout troops, they retreated, leaving corpses on the ground, and their own losses were almost negligible.
The battle in front of me is exactly the same as the last one, and since I still have the opportunity to build a blocking position, it will be even better.
It is precisely because of this idea that the squadron leader did not take the battle seriously at all, but stood behind the defense line and enjoyed the scenery with a comfortable expression.
"Sir, the machine gun position has been repaired, and all light and heavy machine guns are in place. Do you want to continue to build the infantry defense line and dig trenches?" the squad leader ran over and reported.
"No, the squadron's dozen light and heavy machine guns are enough to deal with the Eighth Route Army that wants to break out!" the squadron leader replied confidently.
Following the order: "The artillerymen immediately set up their guns and fired at the Eighth Route Army who were digging trenches at Yamaguchi to blow them back!"
"If you still have the guts to continue breaking out under artillery fire, fire all machine guns to repel them!"
"Woooooooo..." The familiar scream of artillery shells soon sounded above the squadron leader's head.
With a smile on his face, the squadron leader quickly raised his telescope, ready to enjoy the wonderful scenes after the bombardment.
"Boom, boom..." The artillery shell exploded, and the Eighth Route Army, which had been crowded just a moment ago and kept swinging their engineering shovels, suddenly disappeared.
The squadron leader frowned, and while he was amazed, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the Eighth Route Army's quick reaction speed, and gave a decisive order.
"Continue to fire, and the Eighth Route Army has hid in the trenches. We have brought enough artillery shells, and the shelling cannot stop without my order!"
