In order to protect his homeland and resist the Japanese invaders, not only Zhao Zhiguo was busy, but the soldiers on the front line were also doing their duty and trying their best to prevent themselves from being held back.

After dawn, the Japanese army launched a new round of bombing, and the soldiers gradually got used to it. They hid in the solid corridor and listened to the noise outside, as if they were celebrating the arrival of the New Year in advance.

Tian Kezhi, who came to the battlefield for the first time, hid in the underground tunnel, feeling even more surprised.

"My dear, who kind of genius came up with this idea? There's nothing we can do about this little devil's plane!"

Tian Kezhi was originally worried when he heard that the Japanese planes were going to bomb, but when he saw the soldiers getting into the tunnel quickly and talking and laughing after entering the tunnel, he was even more curious about why the soldiers were not afraid of the bombing by the Japanese planes.

It wasn't until the Japanese plane dropped bombs and the outside turned into a sea of ​​flames, while only a few pieces of gravel fell inside the corridor, that he finally understood why the soldiers were not afraid anymore.

"Who else could it be besides our battalion commander? We have been digging here for more than half a year!" Gao Cang handled his own affairs very calmly.

Tian Kezhi stood up and touched the wet wall: "Our battalion commander is great, and you are even more powerful!"

In this mountain, tunnels have been dug out by manpower alone. I am afraid that only Chinese people can do all this with their own hands.

"The battalion commander once said that as long as you work hard and grind an iron pestle into a needle, even a foolish old man can move mountains, let alone we just opened a tunnel."

The bombing outside was very short-lived. The Japanese army would not throw all their ammunition on their positions. The bombing of Zhao Zhiguo's positions was just a matter of catching rabbits. The real target of the Japanese bombers was the towns where the Chinese army was hoarding troops.

At noon, three more bombers dropped bombs on their position.

"We are getting closer and closer to the little devil's attack!"

The explosions outside made it almost impossible to hear the voices, but the soldiers all knew that the more diligently the Japs bombed, the closer it would be to the Japanese army to attack them.

"Dian Hou, take the sharp knife platoon and follow me to position three tonight. We must be prepared for a sneak attack by the Japs!"

On the eve of the war, the armies of both sides would definitely make some small moves of one kind or another. Zhao Zhiguo sent a special force to attack the Japanese transport team, and the little Japanese would definitely also make some sneaky little moves.

Zhao Zhiguo didn't want the little Japs to capture their No. 3 position without spending a single soldier.

The cold wind at night quickly blew away the little residual heat brought by the sun during the day. Zhao Zhiguo did not bring a rifle this time. He and Dianhou each brought a Thompson.

Before entering the position, Zhao Zhiguo had ordered that no one should speak or make any noise, and battlefield disciplines should be strictly enforced.

Although there are some new recruits in the Sharp Knife Platoon, most of them are veterans. They know what Zhao Zhiguo's order means, and they are very likely to come into close combat with the Japanese army tonight.

The new recruits didn't sleep a wink all night because of fear and excitement, but the veterans were used to this kind of thing, and they slept when they needed to.

There was no movement at night. That night, Zhao Zhiguo and the others were squatting in the air. The Japs did not come to make a sneak attack. As daybreak approached, Zhao Zhiguo led his troops back to the main position.

"Let the soldiers have a good rest, we are going to go again tonight!" Zhao Zhiguo ordered.

Zhao Zhiguo firmly believed that the Japs would definitely attack Position 3. Position 3 was dispensable to Zhao Zhiguo and the others, but the Japs had lost troops here before. If they attacked openly and honestly, they would lose even more troops.

"Battal Commander, Wu Gaoshi took the initiative to cut off contact with us today. He said that the Japs' attack will be in the past two days, and the puppet troops are also on standby at any time, fearing that contact with us will easily expose them."

"Did he say how many Japanese troops there are in Heyun County now?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"As of today, there is a Japanese regiment in Heyun County. The leader is a Japanese lieutenant colonel named Taro Yamamoto! He has an independent artillery squadron and an independent armored squadron under his command! This regiment has more than 4,000 troops.

." Yao Pengju said.

"The Japanese army is coming with great force! Their armored squadron must have at least ten tanks and armored vehicles, right?" Gao Cang asked.

"If I remember correctly, there should be seventeen or eighteen vehicles. According to combat needs, the number may change, and the minimum will not be less than twelve. However, the Japanese armored squadron is mainly armored vehicles, supplemented by tanks.

, the number of tanks should not exceed five, usually three! This is what I saw in their newspapers when I was in the island country."

Tian Kezhi counted in detail the equipment owned by an independent armored squadron of the Japanese army.

Gao Cang looked at Tian Ke with satisfaction, thinking that the battalion commander had given him a treasure, that he understood the little devil so well.

"Young Japanese armored vehicles and tanks have nothing to worry about!" Yao Pengju glanced at Zhao Zhiguo confidently.

He had personally seen Zhao Zhiguo kill three Japanese armored vehicles with two shots on the battlefield. Yao Pengju now believed that his snipers could also shoot bullets into Japanese armored vehicles.

"It seems that the little devil has made all preparations. Next, please brothers, please hold the position under our feet!"

Zhao Zhiguo didn't say much. He just needed to let the officers and soldiers under him perform their duties.

Gao Cang and Tian Kezhi returned to position two, Qin Dongsheng will be in charge of position one, and Zhao Zhiguo will take Dianhou's sharp knife platoon to position three tonight.

The little Japanese suffered a big loss in front of Position 3. Although the attacking troops were changed, the Japanese commanders were not stupid pigs who were not prepared for anything. Their commanders were all well-educated and had standardized military training.

training.

Before the attack, Taro Yamamoto made a special call to Ichiro Toyoda, and transferred Captain Suzuki, who was originally under Ichiro Toyoda, to his headquarters.

Captain Suzuki Squadron of the Japanese Army and Honda Squadron once launched an attack on Position Three. They knew Position Three better than anyone else.

Lieutenant Colonel Yamamoto learned about the situation of the Chinese army's No. 3 position through Squadron Leader Suzuki. Although he had a lot of troops, it was not a wise choice to storm the No. 3 position.

"Night attack!"

The best way that Lieutenant Colonel Yamamoto could think of was to attack at night. He selected a squadron of soldiers and handed them over to Captain Suzuki, because no one was more familiar with the Chinese army's No. 3 position than Captain Suzuki.

Lieutenant Commander Yamamoto promised Squadron Leader Suzuki that as long as they captured the position, reinforcements would arrive within half an hour and support them.
