Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 769 Chapter 768, Early Morning
In the past, the Japanese were well-equipped, powerful, and had a great advantage in artillery fire...so the Eighth Route Army would take the initiative to fight night battles to narrow the gap in weapons.

But today, Captain Inaba had enough men and the equipment had not changed, but he felt the strength of the Eighth Route Army from the battle at noon, so he also wanted to fight a powerful night battle and a surprise attack...

Well, I can only say that times have changed...

Since the Japanese wanted to fight at night, it was essential to conserve their energy. Harassing the enemy, well, the Eighth Route Army, was also a necessary step. In the later stage of the harassment, the Eighth Route Army had to be given a relatively quiet time so that the Eighth Route Army soldiers would feel sleepy and fall asleep, which would facilitate the sneak attack...

Inaba made a good calculation! Unfortunately, there are some words like "showing off one's skills in front of an expert", "writing poems in front of Li Bai's tomb", "showing off one's skills in front of Guan Gong"...

The Japanese wanted to fight a night battle and launch a sneak attack, but in the eyes of Zheng Changfeng and his men, it was just a child's play, not worth mentioning. Everyone could tell from the fact that the Japanese kept launching small-scale attacks tonight.

Therefore, arrange personnel on each position to deal with the sudden attack of the devils at any time, and leave some reserve troops behind, so that the main force can go to rest! There are comrades in front guarding the position, and the large troops in the rear find a place to sleep and eat, to restore energy and physical strength to deal with the upcoming battle.

At the same time, the newly arrived Shi Peican and his colleagues, holding the map previously drawn by the artillerymen of the New Second Regiment, quickly calculated the parameters.

Well, it was late at night, and Shi Peican and his colleagues had no way to observe the situation on the battlefield on the spot. They could only use the data drawn by the comrades of the New Second Regiment for comparative calculations, and use the topographic maps drawn by the comrades of the artillery company of the main regiment during the day for reference.

Fortunately, we are all students taught by Director Zhao, and we all have the same teacher, so we can all understand these things! Of course, the difference is that the parameters of the 82 mortar and the 120 heavy mortar are different, but this does not affect the calculation of the data. After all, distance, direction, height difference... knowing these data, you can substitute them into the formula of each artillery to calculate.

It sounds fast, but when it actually happened, several hours had already passed... That's right, the Japs stopped their trouble at around 11 o'clock at night, and it lasted until four in the morning.

At this time, the sky was still dark and full of stars, but there was a cool breeze blowing, bringing a fresh breath to the earth. On the eastern horizon, the sun was still trying to climb up, but it would take time, about an hour.

According to the devil's idea, at this time, once people fall asleep, they are basically in a deep sleep and it is difficult to wake them up. Therefore, it is also a good time to launch a sneak attack.

"Go quietly, don't shoot..." Under the starlight, the Japanese soldiers who participated in the attack last night followed the path they had figured out at night, bringing a large number of puppet soldiers, and quietly came to the position where Yangtou Cliff was located. The Japanese soldiers were afraid that the puppet soldiers they brought would make a noise and wake up the Eighth Route Army, so they would whisper reminders from time to time.

Whoosh... The spring breeze in March blew away the hot mood of the Japanese soldiers after they took the marching pills, and also made the nervous puppet soldiers even more nervous. Of course, this did not prevent them from walking forward with their legs raised high and stepping down, approaching the Sheep Head Cliff position step by step. Because of this, the Japanese puppet army team walked very slowly, and it took more than half an hour to walk a distance of less than 1000 meters. "Yo, last night, it was under the care of these bonfires that we were exposed!" In front of a pile of bonfire ashes, a Japanese second lieutenant unbuttoned his pants and actually shed tears.

The smell of urine and ashes hit him in the face, but the Japanese soldier pulled up his pants and continued forward without paying any attention. At this moment, he felt a drop under his feet, and then it seemed that something was stepped on and broken?
"What? Not good!" The Japanese lieutenant's heart was beating wildly, and a bad premonition came to his mind as he took a step. However, what was coming was still coming, because he heard a dull gunshot coming from under his feet. Then, a severe pain came from the sole of his left foot, a pain that penetrated his heart.

"Ahhh..." The lieutenant couldn't bear the piercing pain and cried out involuntarily. At this moment, in the darkness around him, there were slight gunshots and screams.

"Baga, we're exposed. Everyone, attack the Eighth Route Army's position..." Since someone screamed, the Japanese knew with their feet that they must have alerted the Eighth Route Army! Since they had already alerted them, they should just show their cards and stop pretending... Anyway, the sky is getting a little bright now, and the conditions for fighting are in place. Let's just attack together! Let's turn the sneak attack into a violent attack!
The movement of the Japanese naturally alarmed the Eighth Route Army on the position, but the Eighth Route Army at this time was no longer the same group that had been guarding the front line last night. Instead, they were replaced by soldiers from the main regiment who had just had a nap.

That's right, the main force! After discussing with Kong Jie, Lao Zheng got the chance to defend the position and face the enemy's sneak attack! The main force was well-equipped, had good marksmanship, and had plenty of bullets, so it was most suitable for this kind of extreme distance combat. Moreover, the two companies that followed the artillery battalion were actually under the command of the main force, and Zheng Changfeng had the command.

It was also because of the latter point that Kong Jie was willing to give up the main position. After all, Lao Zheng, who commanded the artillery, was more suitable for the next battlefield environment!

On the battlefield, the comrades of the main regiment had already heard the shouts of the Japanese puppet troops, and it sounded like the whole valley was filled with the sound, as if there were a lot of Japanese puppet troops. However, it was just getting light in the sky, so it was difficult for everyone to see how many Japanese puppet troops were shouting and killing in front of the battlefield.

Of course, you don't need to know the specific value, because it is meaningless! No matter how many devils and puppet troops there are, it doesn't affect the comrades to raise their semi-automatic, assault rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns and other weapons in their hands and pull the trigger at the place where the shouting is the loudest.

So, just when the Japanese soldiers started shouting and taking steps to rush to the Eighth Route Army's position, they saw the flashing muzzle flames on the opposite Eighth Route Army's position. After a slight delay, they heard gunshots coming from that side, and some Japanese soldiers also heard the whistling sound of bullets breaking through the air.

"Ahh... Ugh..." The gunfire was intense, and soon someone, whether it was the devil or the puppet army, had an intimate encounter with the bullets. Then, screams came naturally, and blood and flesh spurted out from the wounds caused by the bullets...

"Aha, our old Zheng guessed it right, right? Boom boom boom... Telephone man, notify the artillery position, aim at the front of the main position, and carpet bomb from east to west!"
