    ??

    The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army specially built a firepower point to specifically target the place where the spring was.

    Because they know that there are not many places where drinking water can be obtained.

    It is not easy to find places to get water in the surrounding areas.

    The Japanese army would definitely get water here after traveling such a long distance.

    They only need to aim two machine guns here, and they will definitely be able to kill a large number of Japanese troops.

    Sure enough, with just such a volley, dozens of Japanese soldiers drinking water fell down.

    The originally clear and cold spring water was dyed red by the blood flowing from the Japanese soldiers.

    But the mountain spring water is still flowing.

    It¡¯s just that the pond below was contaminated by the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

    The moment they opened fire here, the Eighth Route Army¡¯s hidden firepower on both sides immediately greeted the Japanese troops below.

    These tired Japanese soldiers, who had been marching continuously and getting little rest, felt their muscles and nerves tense up the moment they heard the sound of gunfire.

    Their reactions are almost instinctive.

    Some of the Japanese soldiers were crawling on the ground, while others were quickly looking for bunkers.

    But they were now exposed to the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and it was not easy to find a hiding place in this valley.

    The two sides had just exchanged fire, and hundreds of people on the Japanese side had already fallen.

    The Eighth Route Army used firepower on a small scale against this advance brigade of the Japanese army and did not expose all its firepower points.

    This way, it can give the Japanese army the illusion that what is blocking them is not a large force, but only a small enemy force.

    In this way, they will be able to catch bigger fish and cause greater damage to the Japanese army.

    The Japanese troops in this brigade soon felt that they could not hold on any longer and began to retreat to the rear.

    The terrain they are in is not very good. Even if they are not inferior to the enemy in terms of firepower, the condescending Eighth Route Army has too many ways to kill them.

    And this Japanese army tried to organize two charges. They had just climbed up the hillside. After traveling less than a few dozen meters, they were suppressed by the firepower on the top of the hill.

    In addition, their top commander had died on the edge of the pond. This Japanese army was somewhat leaderless. They quickly chose to retreat in a tacit understanding and rushed towards the rear.

    During the process of escaping, they dropped nearly a hundred Japanese corpses on the mountain roads along the way.

    Within less than ten minutes of the fighting between the two sides, the Japanese army had already dropped 300 corpses on the hillsides and mountain roads.

    There are many wounded soldiers who were abandoned by their comrades and kept wailing and screaming in the valley.

    Some even choose to detonate grenades and kill themselves in order to end their pain.

    Some Japanese soldiers also chose to commit suicide by drinking bullets.

    There are still Japanese soldiers who just lie there groaning, not daring to end their lives, but unable to solve the current predicament.

    The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army gave out a brief cheer after repelling the Japanese army.

    The cheers were mainly from the recruits. They had just shouted twice when they were stopped by the white eyes cast by the veterans next to them.

    A considerable number of veterans of this unit drawn from the Independent Regiment and the New First and New Second Regiments had participated in the North China Campaign.

    They have experienced greater victories than this, and they have also experienced more tragic battles than this.

    The Japanese army they face now is just an appetizer.

    These veterans know very well that the real feast is coming later. What they have to do now is to seize the time to rest, recharge their batteries, and wait for the next battle.

    Zhao Gang looked through the telescope at the groaning Japanese soldiers on the mountain road below, without any sympathy in his eyes.

    ¡°Political Commissar, we just checked and found that at least three hundred little devils were killed.¡±

    Duan Peng ran over with a smile on his face, stretched out three fingers and said to Zhao Gang.

    Zhao Gang chuckled and said: "Winning the first battle is very important for improving morale. Tell the brothers to prepare for the next battle. The kid's next attack will be much more violent than this one."

    "yes!!"

    Duan Peng said this and passed on his orders happily.

    Looking at Duan Peng¡¯s back as happy as if he had found his little wife, Zhao Gang also smiled and shook his head.

      The main force of the Japanese army that was advancing suddenly heard dense gunfire and explosions from the front. The team that was still marching on the mountain road was suddenly shaken up.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were looking in the direction of the gunshots ahead, their eyes filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

    Last time Ichiro heard the gunfire and came to the front of the team.

    Not long after, he saw the retreating advance troops.

    "what happened?"

    Let Ichiro turn over and dismount.

    "We encountered an enemy ambush and suffered heavy losses."

    The person who answered his question at this time was a squadron leader.

    "How many enemies are there?"

    Let Ichiro ask last time.

    "There were at least about 2,000 people. Their firepower was very fierce. In a short time, they killed and injured hundreds of us."

    Hearing these words, Ichiro's eyes were filled with worry.

    "Are more than two thousand people blocking the attack? No, maybe more"

    With this thought in his mind, he immediately said: "Immediately organize the forces of the two regiments and prepare for the attack. We must break through the enemy's defense line in front before dark."

    "yes!!!"

    ??Subsequently, Ichiro sent a telegram to Kameda Jiro to explain the situation they encountered at this time.

    Twenty minutes later, Kameda Jiro came running over on horseback.

    "What is the specific situation?"

    Kameda Jiro asked as he got off his horse.

    Ichiro didn¡¯t say anything last time. He directly handed him the telescope in his hand and said calmly: ¡°The enemy troops occupy the high ground on both sides in front and are blocking our army.

    The mountain ahead is steep, and it is a problem for us to charge from both sides.  I'm thinking about how to break through the enemy's defenses.  "

    After hearing this, Jiro Kameda picked up the telescope and looked ahead.

    The terrain over there is indeed very steep and difficult to defend but difficult to attack.

    But this is the only way for them. Otherwise, they can only climb from the cliffs on both sides and then break out.

    That was a scene that Kameda Jiro didn¡¯t want to see. Even on the cliffs on both sides, he was not sure what was waiting for them.

    "How about sending a large group to climb up the cliff over there, and then make a detour toward the enemy's rear?"

    Kameda Jiro asked.

    Ichiro said last time: "I can only give it a try. My two regiments have already tried to launch the first round of offensive. Now I will let another brigade of troops climb the cliff over there. (Remember this site  Website: www.hlnovel.com
