If this fire is extinguished again, Neiji Okamura's face will not look good.

Okamura Ningji felt a little uneasy in his heart because the 1st Army had not reported any news for a long time.

As soon as Miyano Michi saw that Neiji Okamura was worried, he smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, the Yamazaki Battalion is the elite of the 4th Brigade, and it will never let us down."

Before the words were finished, a communications staff officer hurried in.

Paused his head and reported: "Your Excellency, the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi has an urgent call!"

As soon as Miyano Michi received the telegram, he looked embarrassed when he saw it.

This slap in the face came too fast. I just said that the Yamazaki Brigade would not let them down, but as soon as the words fell, the surprise attack of the Yamazaki Brigade ended in failure.

"how?"

Neiji Okamura frowned and asked, "Did the surprise attack of the Yamazaki Battalion fail?"

"Yes." Miyano Michiichi said with some embarrassment, "Due to errors in the map provided by the Intelligence Section, the Yamazaki Battalion exposed their whereabouts in advance, and the surprise attack fell short."

"Damn it!" Okamura Ningji's face also collapsed.

Did the surprise attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army still fail?

However, Miyano Michiichi has a kind of resigned spirit.

So Miyano Michiichi said again: "But it's not like there's no good news."

"The good news is that the Yamazaki Brigade has built a strong fortification in Lijiapo, and firmly attracted the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army to Lijiapo."

"This created an opportunity for the First Army to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

Okamura Ningji's expression moved slightly: "The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army really concentrated its forces to launch a siege to the Yamazaki Brigade?"

"Yes." Miyano said, "Up to now, the Eighth Route Army has concentrated at least three regiments of troops, and there are more participating troops gathered from all directions."

"The final troops participating in the battle will definitely exceed ten regiments."

"Even if this is not the entire main force of the 129th Division, it is at least half of it."

"Yoshi." Neiji Okamura said with a slightly relaxed expression, "But you must move quickly. Telegram the 1st Army. All the regiments participating in the battle must overcome all difficulties and join the Yamazaki Battalion as soon as possible."

A good surprise attack turned into a fishing operation.

Since it is fishing, there is nothing wrong with the bait.

"Hayi!" Miyano Michiichi suddenly nodded.

……

Lijiapo.

"Strange, why hasn't the Eighth Route Army moved yet?"

Yamazaki Zhihei looked at the ridgeline of the mountain in front of him, his brows were already knitted into a ball.

Although the ridgeline around the top of Lijiapo blocked the direct firepower of the Eighth Route Army, it also blocked the sight of the Japanese army, making the Japanese army blind and unable to see the movement down the slope.

So Yamazaki Zhiping didn't know what the Eighth Route Army was doing down the slope.

The Eighth Route Army did not launch an attack for a long time, and Yamazaki Zhiping became suspicious.

Isn't the Eighth Route Army ready to launch a strong attack?In addition to storming, what else can the Eighth Route Army do?

Soon, Yamazaki Zhihei knew the answer. The Eighth Route Army really had a trick, which was to dig forward with soil work to shorten the distance from the ridge line of the slope top to the Japanese army's position.

The Eighth Route Army dug three tunnels and moved forward in a zigzag pattern.

This effectively avoided the direct firepower of the Yamazaki Brigade.

However, in addition to direct firepower, the Yamazaki Brigade also has powerful curved firepower.

"Order!" Yamazaki Zhihei smiled, and said, "The artillery squadron and independent mortar squadron immediately shelled the tunnels of the Chinese Army."

One command.

Twelve 12-caliber mortars fired simultaneously.

Rows of shells fell overwhelmingly on the tunnel fortifications of the Eighth Route Army.

The digging operations of the Eighth Route Army seemed to have stopped, and no more soil was scooped up from the mouth of the tunnel.

"Yoxi, let's see what other tricks you have." Yamazaki Zhihei smiled slightly, and his heart was full of pride. Although I, Yamazaki Zhihei, did not go to the Army University, I really look like a famous general.

However, in the next second, the smile on Yamazaki Zhihei's face froze.

Because after the gunpowder smoke dispersed, there was a sudden movement in the tunnel of the Eighth Route Army.

With the rustling sound, another handful of soil rose from the tunnel entrance.

……

Three kilometers to the right of Lijiapo, there is a hill.

Hidden among the rocks at the top of the mountain is a periscope.

Wang Ye was lying behind the periscope, observing Li Jiapo.

While observing, Wang Ye whispered: "Monk, send a semaphore to Company Commander Zheng, raise the shooting angle by one tick, and move it to the right by half a tick."

Wei Dayong quickly climbed to the back of the pile of rocks, and signaled to the dense forest behind.

A moment later, the leaves on the top of the dense forest fluttered one by one without warning, but 72 Type [-] heavy machine guns hidden in the dense forest fired at the same time, forming a barrage of bullets.

The barrage crossed the mountain where Wang Ye and the others were hiding, and hit the cliff to the east of Lijiapo, splashing clouds of smoke and dust.

The second test shot ended soon, and according to the observed results, Wang Ye took out a pen and paper and quickly began to calculate, and after a while he said to Wei Dayong: "Tell Company Commander Zheng to increase the shooting angle by half a scale and move it to the right by half a scale. "

Wei Dayong climbed to the back of the pile of rocks again, and waved a semaphore towards the dense forest.

During this period of time, Wei Dayong really made rapid progress.

The semaphore has been learned.

……

Lijiapo top.

Yamazaki Zhihei tried a few more times.

However, it turned out to be of no use.

Whenever the Yamazaki Battalion shelled, the Eighth Route Army would stop.

But whenever the shelling of the Yamazaki Battalion stopped, the Eighth Route Army would start to move forward again.

"Baga, these damned Chinese marmots!" Yamazaki Zhihei said with a dark face, "Could it be that the tunnels were dug with narrow mouths? So it is difficult for mortar shells to penetrate into the tunnels?"

"However, this little problem can't help me."

"I, Yamazaki Zhihei, are destined to become a famous general in the future."

Immediately, Yamazaki Zhihei drew out his saber again and shouted: "Squad 1, Tojikai..."

Mortar shells can't penetrate the narrow tunnels, but grenades can always be stuffed in, so it's better to dispatch infantry to counter-attack, anyway, the direct firepower of the Eighth Route Army can't hit the slope top platform.

As long as it doesn't cross the ridgeline of the top of the slope, it's fine.

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! Onboard! Onboard!"

More than 50 devils immediately jumped up with bayonets in their hands.

However, at this moment, there was a screaming sound above his head.

Immediately afterwards, waves of bullets rained down from the sky without warning.

The devils who had just jumped out of the trench fell to the ground one by one.

"Yaga, what's the situation?" Yamazaki Jihei was stunned.

The more than 50 devils who attacked were also stunned, and they stood there for a while.

How can it be?How did the bullets fall from the sky?I have only heard of rain, when did the bullets come down?

It can only be blamed that these devils have not been to the Army University, otherwise they must have heard of the Battle of the Somme, and they must know that it is beyond shooting.

In a short while, several of the more than 50 devils who attacked fell down.

It was not only the attacking squad 1 that was attacked, but half of the defensive position was attacked, and even the tunnels of the Eighth Route Army were subjected to indiscriminate shooting.

The barrage covered half of the top of the slope.

There are almost [-] to [-] square meters.

The tunnels of the Eighth Route Army are also within the barrage.

It's just that the tunnels dug by the Eighth Route Army are narrow tunnels.

In addition, the rain of bullets still has a certain inclination, so it is almost impossible to hit the Eighth Route Army in the tunnel, but the Yamazaki Brigade at the top of the slope was beaten badly.

Because the trenches of the Yamazaki Brigade are all open trenches.

Almost at the same time that Team 1 was being attacked, there were screams one after another on the top of the slope.

One of the screams was right next to Yamazaki Zhihei's ears. Looking back anxiously, Yamazaki Zhihei was surprised to see that his orderly had been shot dead. The lower left abdomen was pierced, and the entire chest cavity and abdominal cavity were pierced, and the internal organs must have been smashed.

"Captain, this is beyond shooting!" Finally, an officer shouted.

"This is a super shot shot by the Eighth Route Army using the Type [-] heavy machine gun!"

This roar also caused the devil, who was in a state of confusion, to explode.

The more than 1000 little devils in the entire Yamazaki Brigade became a mess in an instant.

The devil officer just now shouted again: "Don't panic, don't mess up!"

"The heavy machine gun position of the Eighth Route Army is behind the mountain in the east. The bullets are fired obliquely from the southeast, and each of them is looking for the reverse slope in the southeast as cover!"

"There is still a tree, hide to the west of the tree!"

"Use the trunk to resist the barrage coverage!"

Yamazaki Haruhei woke up like a dream, and quickly dodged to the west of a big tree.

There are more than a dozen big trees on the top of the Lijiapo, the branches have been cut down by the devils for repairs, only a dozen bare trunks are left, which are just used to block bullets.

"Where's the artillery? What's the artillery doing?"

Guaranteeing his own safety, Yamazaki Zhihei yelled: "The artillery counter fire immediately! Destroy the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine gun position to the east!"

"Captain, no way."

An artillery squadron leader said: "The heavy machine gun positions of the Eighth Route Army are out of range."

"Nani? Out of range?" Yamazaki Zhihei lost his voice, "When did the Type [-] heavy machine gun have a longer range than a mortar? Why didn't I know?"

An artillery squadron leader said: "When the 1000-type heavy machine gun uses the straight-line shooting method, the effective range is only about 4000 meters, but when using the exceeding shooting method, the range can be increased to 5000 meters or even 4000 meters! Our position is at least [-] meters away!"

"Haga!" Yamazaki Zhihei could only grit his teeth.

Now, Yamazaki Zhihei really has nothing to do.

Looking back, the engineers of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be having more fun digging.

In just this moment, the tunnel advanced more than ten meters.

……

On the hill on the right.

"Monk, play the semaphore quickly."

Wang Ye said: "Stop shooting!"

Although the transcendence shooting can effectively prevent the Japanese counterattack, it consumes a lot of ammunition. The ammunition consumption in less than 1 minute just now is at least [-] rounds!

Although the Eighth Route Army also has arsenals, it has the ability to reload bullets.

But even so, if you can save a little, try to save as much as possible.

Wei Dayong hurriedly ran to the back again, and quickly played the semaphore.

After the semaphore was played, the whistling screams passing overhead stopped immediately.

Wei Dayong heaved a long sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really worried just now. What if the base of a Type [-] heavy machine gun on the heavy machine gun position was not stabilized, and it vibrated a bit during shooting, causing the trajectory to deviate? If he moved, the missed bullet might hit him, Wei Dayong, and he would really die unjustly.

But fortunately, such a thing did not happen.

"Monk, you will be watching here next."
