The Chinese soldiers had not received any good military training, had poor food, and were short of ammunition. They were definitely no match for the Japanese at the beginning. Sometimes even two or three soldiers combined could not defeat one Japanese soldier.

Of course, we also have a number of powerful troops, but in the first few major battles at the beginning of the war, these elite troops were basically exhausted, and they could not be trained in a short period of time. There was not even enough ammunition to train elite soldiers.

However, although the Japanese are much stronger than us in this regard, they have not formed an overwhelming advantage. As long as we persist and continue to eliminate the enemy's elite troops, we will be fine.

For example, in today's battle, as long as we can kill a hundred Japanese corporals or sergeants, we can greatly weaken the overall strength of an enemy unit. We are fighting the Japanese in many places, even if we can only kill a hundred of them every day.

In the long run, the Japanese will only become weaker and weaker, and we just need to hold on. This is determined by the size of the two countries. It is a dream for a few small islands to swallow up China.

Moreover, the current conditions are much better than in the previous life. Our troops will be able to inflict greater and more severe damage to the Japanese, and the enemy's strength will become weaker and weaker.

After the Japanese sergeant was killed, there was chaos for a few minutes until the Japanese sergeant reappointed a Japanese veteran as sergeant. Only then did the enemy's small force launch an attack.

Our soldiers kept aiming and shooting with their rifles, not seeking to kill a large number of enemies, but only hoping to slow down the speed of the enemy's attack. Of course, if they could kill one or two, that would be even better.

It was a pity that our defensive positions were destroyed too badly. Although the soldiers tried their best to shoot, the attacking Japanese were still getting closer and closer to our positions, especially when our artillery was at an absolute disadvantage.

As the Japanese kept getting closer, Squad Leader Lao He had already changed weapons. At this time, the Japanese were already 50 meters close to our position. Using the Mauser pistol could enhance our firepower output capability.

At this time, there were only seven people left in the 16th squad. Although we injured and killed five Japanese soldiers during this period, we were still approached by the enemy.

Fortunately, we had enough grenades. Squad Leader Lao He quickly ordered the soldiers to throw a large number of grenades. After spending a lot of money, we finally repelled the enemy's attack again.

Half an hour later, the Japanese launched another attack. This time, the enemy even mobilized a Type 92 infantry gun to suppress all firepower in our direction, causing us great losses.

Faced with this critical situation, Zhang Dabiao decisively revealed a trump card: more than a dozen bunkers that were specially built when the defensive position was being constructed.

This type of bunker was specially built using the terrain of the mountain. It used a large amount of steel bars and cement, and was also camouflaged on the outside. If you look at it from a distance, you can't tell whether it is a bunker or stone.

Even though the enemy planes had just bombed them, except for two that were directly hit by heavy bombs and caused damage, the rest were intact, just waiting for this moment to come.

Moreover, this type of bunker was built in stages according to the terrain. This time, more than a dozen bunkers near the frontline positions were used, which caught the Japanese off guard. With the support of these firepower points, our frontline guard troops once again repelled the Japanese attack.

This is a defensive fortification specially designed by our troops based on their past experience and current conditions, and it seems to be quite effective at the moment.

Li Yunlong watched this brief battle through the telescope and nodded involuntarily, saying, "This position defense system issued by the headquarters is really good, especially the construction of this kind of bunker, which can play a big role at a critical moment."

"With the support of these dozen firepower points, the Japanese will try to break through our defensive positions today. Moreover, the location of our bunkers has been specially calculated, so it will be extremely difficult for the Japanese heavy artillery to hit them."

"unless……."

Li Yunlong suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly picked up the phone to give Zhang Dabiao detailed instructions, and also specifically ordered the anti-tank troops to go to the front line.

Brigade Commander Sakai was also shocked when he saw the situation on the battlefield. He had thought that he would be able to break through the Eighth Route Army's frontline positions today, and that another day of attack tomorrow would allow him to successfully break through all obstacles ahead and successfully lift the siege of Wenxian County.

The progress was originally smooth, but we didn't expect that there was such a big surprise on the opposite side. The location of this bunker was very tricky, and it was difficult to hit it with 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers, and the power of the Type infantry gun shells was not enough, and even close shooting could not destroy it head-on.

With the support of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, our position was stabilized at once, especially since most of the bunkers were equipped with Type 40 light machine guns and magazines with rounds of bullets, which were perfect in both fire suppression and fire sustainment.

In order to conceal and reduce the area under attack, as well as to save building materials, the entire bunker can only accommodate two soldiers, a main shooter with a light machine gun and an assistant shooter and loader.

Each Type 40 light machine gun is equipped with rounds of ammunition and five magazines that can hold rounds of ammunition. After the main shooter changes the magazine, the assistant shooter must quickly load the bullets into the magazine using simple tools.

This new type of light machine gun is only about one meter long and weighs about ten pounds. It is much lighter than a heavy machine gun and easier to hide.

With no other options, Brigadier General Sakai had to use his trump card, a squadron of tank troops, using a 57mm short-barreled cannon on the tanks to attack directly at close range, trying to destroy all our bunkers, otherwise the battle would not be able to continue.

Faced with more than a dozen firepower points with fierce firing rates, if the Japanese infantry want to launch a large-scale attack, the difficulty will increase a lot, unless the enemy gambles that our machine gun firepower points do not have enough bullets. However, judging from the current situation, this is also unrealistic.

Brigade Commander Sakai also specially selected a battalion with the most complete organization to follow behind the tanks to carry out coordinated infantry and tank operations.

The Japanese's morale was a little low due to the unfavorable attack, but now they used an ace, their morale was boosted, so they happily followed the tanks and attacked, hoping to use their powerful tanks to flatten our positions in one fell swoop.
