The interweaving process of the Japanese army was extremely cruel.

The number of the intersecting unit is the 291st Mixed Brigade. This is a mountain unit carefully trained by Hashimoto Toranosuke. It was originally used to deal with the Mao Xiong attack and was specially used to intersperse in the mountains to sneak attack on important targets such as enemy headquarters and ammunition depots. Unexpectedly, it ended up being Used on the Eighth Route Army.

But even so, the month-long interlude was something this unit had never experienced before.

And in order not to expose the target, they cannot have any communications or airdrop supplies on the way...the communications may be monitored by the Eighth Route Army, and if the airdropped supplies are discovered, it will also arouse the suspicion of the Eighth Route Army.

So along the way, the intervening troops could only use ten days of compressed biscuits to complete the journey, which lasted more than a month and totaled 37 days.

When they were hungry, they could only eat bugs, wild vegetables and tree barks. Countless of them died of starvation, exhaustion, falls, and some got lost without knowing where they were going.

There were more than 3000 people in a brigade before departure, but only more than 700 people were able to gather at the designated location.

If this were Yingjiang's troops, more than half of the troops would have suffered casualties and would have lost all morale and would have collapsed. However, the Japanese had only a quarter left. Not only did they not collapse, they could actually launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions.

The Eighth Route Army was not defenseless in the direction of Daxinganling. There was a regiment of troops stationed on the west side of the artillery regiment.

But that's how it is in mountainous areas. A regiment's troops can't even be seen when thrown in. The only things that can be garrisoned are high ground. At most, they can set up light and dark sentries and set up a few minefields.

But what I didn't expect was that there was a problem in the minefield... The Japanese were worried about being discovered by the Eighth Route Army, so they marched in danger. They spent a whole day slowly advancing through the minefield while clearing mines, and finally passed through it under the eyes of the Eighth Route Army. The defensive line was inserted into the artillery position.

When the battle began for the Japanese to penetrate the troops, their frontal troops also launched an attack.

At this time, the artilleryman felt a little embarrassed:

Let's fire. There are lurking Japanese soldiers everywhere in the mountains and plains. They are worried about not being able to find the location of the artillery in the dark. Opening fire is equivalent to telling the Japanese soldiers to shoot here.

Don't fire artillery, the frontline troops need artillery support, otherwise the Japanese artillery will not be able to suppress our ground troops and we will suffer losses...

Li Yunlong was sitting in command of Heping Village at the time. When he encountered this problem, he walked around anxiously and didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhao Gang looked on without saying a word. He knew where this problem was difficult!

It doesn't matter whether we send reinforcements now or not.

Reinforcements were sent, but it was so dark that no one could tell who it was. Maybe the artillerymen thought it was a Japanese sneak attack unit coming with a barrage of artillery fire.

Without the dispatch of reinforcements, the artillery position would be restricted at every turn, causing people to panic and not dare to fire... firing would mean exposing the position, and a grenade would fly over at any time.

This is the infiltration warfare used by the Japs. Zhao Gang believes that the Japs are likely to speak Chinese and wear the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.

After walking for a while, Li Yunlong stopped, then straightened his waist and shouted loudly: "Communications Corps!"

"To!"

"Order the artillerymen to lay traps to lure the Japanese over!" Li Yunlong ordered.

The communications soldier was stunned when he heard this. Is there such an order? "Old Li!" Zhao Gang stood up and said, "The key point is how to lure the Japanese over. They are not fools..."

"Old Zhao, if you don't understand the war, stop getting involved!" Li Yunlong interrupted Zhao Gang: "It's not easy to lure them here? Don't the Japanese just follow the direction of the sound of artillery? Let's concentrate our troops and make arrangements. Fire again and wait for the Japanese to come up!"

As he spoke, he glared at the communications soldier and cursed: "Why are you still standing there? Pass the order on. No one is allowed to fire without being prepared. Don't try to be a hero and call yourself a hero. A man can bend and stretch, so he should shrink." When you are in trouble, stop giving me the limelight! If you disobey orders and fire indiscriminately, I will not only fail to reward you but I will also punish you!"

"Yes!" The signal soldier responded and went to organize the language report.

Being a communications soldier for Li Yunlong is also hard work. He always says "f*ck" or "I". The communications soldier cannot say this in a telegram and must accurately convey Li Yunlong's meaning... If he has no literary talent and no ink in his belly, Can't do it.

Zhao Gang secretly praised Li Yunlong after hearing what he said. He was indeed Li Yunlong. He not only understood the enemy but also understood his own troops.

There is indeed such a culture and phenomenon in the Eighth Route Army troops: they would rather sacrifice themselves and take risks to ensure the safety of friendly forces.

For example, the artillery and frontline army were attacked by the Japanese at this time, and the fighting was fierce.

At this time, many artillerymen will choose to take risks and fire to provide firepower for the army.

But this is actually very unwise... If the artillery puts itself in danger, even if a few artillery fires have temporarily alleviated the army's crisis, is the battle just for this moment?Will the Japanese attack only last for a moment?
Obviously it is impossible. The Japanese have been preparing for this battle for more than a month. It is estimated that there are three divisions with nearly [-] troops directly involved in attacking Heping Village. How could they retreat so quickly!

Therefore, this is a protracted battle that may take ten days, 20 days or even a month.

If the artillery is now blown up by the Japanese in order to cover the army and expose itself, what will happen next?Not even artillery, let alone providing cover for the army!

Therefore, what Li Yunlong said was rough but not rough: "No one should be a hero when it's time to be a coward!"

As soon as the artillery received Li Yunlong's order, he immediately understood what he meant. Soon the entire highland fell silent and no sound of artillery could be heard. Only intensive gunfire and explosions came from the front line.

This can be said to be the time when the Japanese artillery is having the most fun. They have been overwhelmed by the artillery detection radar of the Eighth Route Army. There is even a rumor among the Japanese troops that they should simply withdraw the artillery and integrate it into the army.

This is not a joke, this is a real plan.

Because under the suppression of the Eighth Route Army's artillery reconnaissance radar, the Japanese artillery became an expensive and ineffective unit: they had to be equipped with artillery and artillery shells, as well as vehicles for towing, and the vehicles also used urgently needed fuel.

But when you go to the battlefield, you will be bombed as soon as you fire. If it can have any effect, it will consume a few artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army. In addition, it will let the Army "appreciate" the fireworks...

Therefore, many people, including Hashimoto Toranosuke, believe that if the empire fails to develop artillery detection radar to confront the Eighth Route Army, then there is no need for artillery.

But now the Japanese artillery fought a turnaround. They poured artillery shells at the Eighth Route Army's defense line to their heart's content, covering the infantry's advance layer by layer and pushing toward Heping Village.

Once the exit of the basin is reached, the Eighth Route Army will be sealed in the basin and unable to counterattack.

This is probably the first combat goal the Japanese hope to achieve!
