    The Japanese shelling lasted for half an hour before slowly stopping.  At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and we could only vaguely see the Japanese infantry advancing towards this side through the rays of the setting sun.

    Hearing the Japanese artillery fire and stopping, Li Jiajing slapped the scorched earth on his helmet, then climbed out of the cat's ear hole and shouted: "Everyone, get into the fighting position, the Japs' troops are about to touch them."

    After saying that, Li Jiajing led his soldiers into the defensive position.  On the other side, the Eighth Route Army's defensive position also began urgent preparations for war.

    The Japanese infantry advanced very quickly, leaving them little time to prepare.  However, these were well-trained soldiers, and they quickly entered the predetermined fighting position. Several machine gun positions on the top of the slope formed a very powerful crossfire, enough to suppress the Japanese infantry rushing up below.

    In the darkness, the illumination bombs launched by the Japanese army rose to high altitudes.  The bright light emitted by the fiercely burning magnesium bars reflected on the Japanese helmets, forming a cold light that was sharp and compelling.

    "There are a lot of Japs, so everyone should cheer up. If the Japs climb onto the battlefield, we will all be doomed." Li Jiajing walked in the camp and shouted loudly.

    Soon, the heavy machine gun fire from the Japanese army opened fire.

    Their heavy machine gun firepower was mainly to provide a certain amount of fire cover for the advancing infantry, suppressing Li Jiajing and his soldiers on the top of the slope.

    The Japanese machine gunners were experienced, and a series of short bursts of fire accurately sprayed bullets on the position on the top of the slope.

    "Pay attention to concealment. The kid's marksmanship is accurate. Don't expose your whole body when shooting." Li Jiajing shouted while climbing into the trench and observing the distance between the Japanese army and the position.

    The Japanese army attacked from the bottom up, covering a distance of several hundred meters, but it took nearly ten minutes before they gradually approached the position on the top of the slope.

    After the Japanese troops reached a distance of about 200 meters, Li Jiajing suddenly ordered the soldiers on the top of the slope to open fire.

    In the blink of an eye, the crossfire of these machine guns and rifles covered the hillside below.

    A row of Japanese infantry advancing in a staircase shape was knocked to the ground in a blink of an eye and rolled down the hillside.

    "Lie down and advance alternately." The Japanese squad leader shouted, and the Japanese soldiers lay down one after another to avoid the firepower above the top of the slope.

    "Grenade, attack the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower point." said the Japanese squad leader.

    The Japanese army¡¯s grenades are the most accurate. Some experienced veterans basically determine the ballistics with the first shot, and the second shot can hit the target very accurately.  It's just that it's night now, and their grenade hits may not be as good as during the day, but that doesn't matter, as long as they can provide fire suppression, it's enough for the Japanese army.

    Soon, the grenade launchers began to fire, launching grenades one after another onto the position on the top of the slope.  However, due to the continuous shift of the heavy machine gun's firepower, these grenade launchers cannot destroy the heavy machine gun's firepower, but can only provide fire suppression.

    Under the cover of firepower from seven or eight grenade launchers, the Japanese army immediately began a new round of advancement.

    At this time, the firepower above the head became more and more fierce.  The Japanese advance had to be slowed down.

    Not long after, the sound of explosion came.

    On the hillside, the mines laid in advance by the Second Guard Regiment were triggered by the Japanese army at this time. They were a row of serial mines. If one was triggered, four or five nearby mines would explode simultaneously.  This is to kill the Japanese army on a maximum scale.

    Even if the scattered Japanese troops hit a mine, they would usually only injure one soldier.  But this is not the case now. Several other landmines set off at the same time also caused damage to soldiers in other places at this time, even if those soldiers did not hit the mines.

    Soon, another serial mine was also triggered by the Japanese army.  Scenes like this happen everywhere on the slopes below the top of the slope.  The large number of landmines laid by Li Jiajing and others here caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese charging troops.

    ¡°Boom boom!!¡±

    The serial explosions of those mines injured or even killed many Japanese soldiers.  It would be fine if they were killed, but the screams of injured soldiers would greatly affect the morale of the Japanese army.

    What¡¯s more, for every wounded Japanese soldier, at least two Japanese soldiers need to be left behind to protect him from the battlefield.  This invisibly reduced the Japanese charge.The number of soldiers fighting.

    More and more Japanese troops were injured by landmines.  It is impossible for them to let engineers come up and use metal detectors to detect bit by bit.

    There was no other way. After this exploratory attack by the Japanese army lasted for half an hour, they left dozens of corpses on the hillside and left.

    But Li Jiajing knew that the Japanese army would never give up and they would soon launch the next round of attack.  Moreover, the mines they planted in front of the position had just exploded so many that they were almost used.  The enemy's next attack will definitely find a way to use mortars to detonate those mines before moving forward.

    Night has completely fallen, and the gunfire in Bailonggou gradually stopped.  But this does not mean that the fighting has stopped at this time, the undercurrent is still surging.  This is just the calm before the storm.

    The Japanese army planned to break out at night, and Xia Yang was also waiting for the night to fall.

    Xia Yang¡¯s people sent a batch of special equipment to the Eighth Route Army on the front and rear positions.

    General Chen looked at the protective clothing and gas masks, and then asked Xia Yang: "This is"

    Xia Yang said: "Gas masks and protective clothing for the soldiers guarding the front. They will come in handy tonight."

    General Chen asked: "The enemy wants to use poison gas bombs?"

    Xia Yang smiled and said, "No, it's not the enemy who wants to use it, but us?"

    "We?" General Chen didn't respond.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
