    At this moment, although the Japanese troops have launched an attack, the intensity of the attack is not great.

    Many soldiers were just crawling there, observing the firepower points on the opposite side.

    The soldiers in the militia group also had a lot of combat experience. When they saw the little Japs on the opposite side not moving, they called on the machine gunners next to them to stop shooting.

    "Why don't you fight?"

    The machine gunner asked.

    "What the hell, didn't you see that the little Jaap didn't move? This is to test us, mark our machine gun positions, and then launch an attack."

    The veteran on the side said.

    The other commanders of the militia regiment also adjusted their defense strategies at this moment.

    ??The defensive position where everyone originally fired at the same time is now only half the firepower roaring.

    ¡°As long as the Japanese troops don¡¯t move, they won¡¯t open fire.

    Seeing that the firepower on the opposite side had weakened, the attacking Japanese troops continued to advance forward.

    But those soldiers with better marksmanship were staring at them.

    As soon as the Japanese soldiers got up, someone shot them with a rifle.

    Several Japanese soldiers fell directly to the ground, which made the Japanese soldiers behind them dare not get up and attack easily.

    For them, the primary task now is not to attack the opposite position, but to test out the enemy's firepower.

    Now that the enemy has discovered their intention, if they continue to attack, they will only increase the number of casualties in vain.

    When the commanders at the front of the Japanese army saw that the offensive in front had stopped and the enemy on the opposite side was no longer exposing any firepower points, they knew that there would be no results if they continued.

    "Order the troops in front to retreat and wait for the arrival of the main force."

    The Japanese commander in front put down his telescope and said to the soldiers on the side.

    When the soldier heard it, he immediately blew the whistle.

    With the sound of the whistle, the soldiers in the front retreated to their rear like a receding tide.

    Seeing such a scene, the militiamen on the position suddenly burst into cheers.

    However, most of the cheers were from recruits who had never participated in any battles. Only the veterans knew that the Japanese army only used two squadrons for a tentative attack. The enemy troops behind were at least in the same alliance.  teams, or even more than a brigade.

    They didn¡¯t cheer, they just sat in the trench, smoking cigarettes, waiting for the next wave of enemy attacks.

    "Okay, stop barking there. If you have time, check your firearms and dig your air-raid shelter deeper."

    The veteran said to the recruit next to him, pointing to the cat ear hole on the side.

    Before the Japanese attack begins, their artillery will inevitably bombard the position.

    Experienced veterans know that the bridge behind them is an inevitable target that the Japanese army must occupy.

    The Japanese army wanted to cross the river at this place, so they would not use artillery of too large a caliber, otherwise they might directly collapse the bridge behind.

    That is not what the Japanese army wants to see.

    Therefore, these veterans are relatively relaxed about the upcoming Japanese bombardment.

    At this moment, the main force from the rear of the Japanese army has arrived here.

    Their artillery units quickly deployed on the field.

    This kind of temporarily arranged artillery position is actually not that particular. The main thing is rapid deployment and rapid strike.

    During the artillery bombardment time, their infantry units should be as close as possible to the opposite enemy position.

    Seeing that their troops were moving closer to the front, Morishige Hirota directed the artillery units in the rear to deploy as quickly as possible.

    The Japanese artillery unit is not far from their temporary headquarters.

    In such a wilderness, the deployment of artillery units does not even need to specifically select a location. There are areas where deployment can be carried out everywhere.

    The Japanese artillerymen, amid the flashing lights and shouts, placed the artillery pieces one by one, and at the same time moved their ammunition from the carriages and trucks.

    "Report, the artillery unit has been deployed and can start bombardment at any time!!!"

    Chief of Staff Chizuki Neiji replied.

    Hearing this, Morishige Hirota said: "Order the troops in front to immediately approach the enemy's position. The artillery troops should not use heavy artillery, and only use field artillery and mountain artillery to attack."Attack the enemy's position.  "

    "yes!!!"

    Qianzuki Neji immediately replied.

    After receiving the order, the Japanese artillery unit immediately began to adjust its shooting at Zhu Yuan.

    ¡°Heavy artillery is not allowed to be put into use!!!¡±

    The division commander¡¯s order echoed on the battlefield.

    The faces of the Japanese soldiers manipulating heavy artillery suddenly showed expressions of disappointment.

    They are considered to be the most powerful of all artillery pieces.

    But now that the order is issued, their artillery has no use. They can only watch other troops from the sidelines, using those small and medium-caliber artillery to carry out painless bombardment of the enemy's positions.

    Large groups of Japanese infantry troops approached the bridge from three directions.

    Like a tide in the darkness, it rushed towards the militia group's position.

    Morishige Hirota looked at the bridge in the distance, and then said: "Qianzuki-kun, can we send a force to the bottom of the river bank, swim there, and launch an attack on the enemy's rear?"

    Qianzuki Neji looked at the river shining like fish scales under the moonlight: "Swimming across such a wide river is very risky."

    "Let's give it a try and let a squadron of troops pass by. If it succeeds, then we can also attack the troops on the other side of the enemy's bridge."

    Although Morishige Kanta's tone of voice was that he was discussing with Chizuki Neji, in fact he had already made up his mind.

    Hearing this, Qianzuki Neiji, who was next to him, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "By the way, Matsushima Squadron can do it. Their entire squadron is the children of fishermen. They live by the sea all year round and have excellent water quality.

    If they go swimming across the river, it shouldn't be a big problem.  "

    "Okay, go ahead and give the order."

    As he said this, Morishige Hirota heard the roar of artillery behind him.

    The Japanese artillery troops used their shells to tear through the night.

    Tracer bullets flew over their heads, marking the trajectory of the artillery bombardment.

    Amid the roaring waves, the Japanese soldiers advanced amidst such bombardment, getting as close as possible to the defensive positions of the Fourth Army in front.

    The soldiers of the Fourth Army in the position hid in their respective cat-ear holes amid the roars of the commanders and veterans.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
