After dawn, Montenegro, who was worried and sleepless all night, had swollen eyes and wanted to cry without tears, his position was attacked many times by the damned small force of China, and when he checked the strength just now, Montenegro knew that his brigade was reduced by more than 300 people in one night's attack. If you count the infantry squadron that was lost in the positional battle yesterday, there are less than half of the soldiers left in your own brigade at present, and this half of the soldiers also includes some logistics soldiers.

When it was close to dawn, the Japanese army's position was attacked by Zhang Shan and them, the kind of individual bazooka that can aim at will, Montenegro, the army lieutenant, had only heard about it from a military academy friend who went to Germany for exchange, but what he never expected was that there was such a self-aiming weapon in the Chinese army opposite the position. Yesterday's large-caliber cannon hadn't even figured out what was going on, but now there was an extra self-aiming weapon, and the equipment of the Chinese army made Montenegro coveted and annoyed.

"Lao Zhao, don't you want to eat the little devils on the other side, from now on, they will be your dishes, you can pinch and rub them round." Zhang Shan and others, who also hadn't slept all night, had bloodshot eyes, but their spirits were extremely excited, and when they talked to Battalion Commander Zhao of the Eighth Route Army, they didn't forget to say a few words. It's just that the latter was skeptical of Zhang Shan's words, although he knew that these guys from the New Army had been tossing for a night, but Battalion Commander Zhao still had doubts about the combat effectiveness of the New Army, and besides, the Japanese army on the opposite side was a brigade.

Seeing that Battalion Commander Zhao seemed to be a little unconvinced of his words, Zhang Shan did not force it, but just explained, and then withdrew to the rear with his New Army soldiers to rest. After Zhang Shan took the people away, the suspicious Battalion Commander Zhao immediately sent a reconnaissance post to detour to the flank of the Japanese position to conduct reconnaissance, and found that not only the Japanese troops in the position were already much less, but even the patrols and guard posts that the Japanese troops originally stationed on the flanks of the position were much less.

"Battalion commander, it seems that those guys in the new army are not lying, our people have seen with their own eyes that the defense on the devil's side is much weaker, if it weren't for the little devil's deception, they might have directly touched the stone and hit them just now." His subordinates came to report the results of the investigation, but Battalion Commander Zhao did not immediately express his position, because he knew that while he was waiting for reinforcements, the Japanese troops on the opposite side should also be waiting for reinforcements.

At lunchtime, Zhang Shan, who had slept heavily, returned to the forward position and learned that Battalion Commander Zhao did not attack the Japanese army, but Zhang Shan did not say anything. Before being transferred to assist the Eighth Route Army in penetrating Handan, Zhang Shan was instructed by Dai Anlan to say that these new armies they were transferred to assist the Eighth Route Army were only here to beat the side drum and not to command the battle. Zhang Shan kept Dai Anlan's explanation in mind, and did not react passively because of Battalion Commander Zhao's conservatism, and when the Japanese army on the opposite side did not attack, Zhang Shan organized his snipers to carry out accurate sniping against the Japanese army.

Until the sun set, the Black Mountain Brigade only hid in the position and did not take any action, and Zhang Shan's sniping operation was also ineffective because of the shrinkage of the Japanese army. "Nogami-kun, thanks to you for supporting my brigade this time." The sun set, Montenegro and other long-awaited reinforcements came, and it was Montenegro's friend in the military academy at the same time, Nogami Shikazu, who brought a brigade of troops, so that the Montenegrin brigade, which suffered heavy casualties, was reborn.

Nogami Shiwa is a friend of the military academy, and he knows the command ability of his friend, and he is also quite surprised to learn that the infantry brigade commanded by his friend has suffered heavy casualties. "Montenegro-kun, what the hell is going on? As far as I know, it's only been two days since your brigade arrived in this Cishan Town, how can you have suffered so many casualties among Imperial soldiers? "Nogami Shiwa and Montenegro are friends at the same time, so there is no possibility of hiding between words.

Faced with the inquiry of his friends, and in the face of the fact that his brigade suffered more than 60% casualties, Montenegro was really a little difficult to speak, but at this time, after all, he was facing his military academy friend, and Montenegro was silent for a while, which can be regarded as telling Nogami Shihe about the battle in the past two days. "The Chinese army that fought with me is well-equipped, including the kind of self-aiming bazooka weapon that I heard from the predecessors of Guishan at the beginning, if it weren't for this, my brigade would not have suffered such casualties."

Kicking Montenegro said that the opposite Chinese army was equipped with a bazooka that resembled the equipment of the German army, and Nogami Shihe also gasped, and the ghost mountain sent to Germany for military exchanges was also a senior of Nogami Shihe's military academy, and he naturally heard Ghost Mountain mention the kind of bazooka weapons equipped by the German army. It's just that the Ghost Mountain seniors said that the Germans used that kind of bazooka weapons to deal with the tanks and armored vehicles of the Allies, while the Chinese army here used them to deal with the heavy firepower points on the Imperial defense line.

"In addition to the kind of bazooka weapons that can be aimed at themselves, the opposite branch army is also equipped with an unknown number of large-caliber guns, and after dawn tomorrow, you can see those large craters in front of the position, and those craters are bombarded by the China army from large-caliber guns." Montenegro's face was extremely bad, but he still said that he suspected that there were large-caliber cannons in the Eighth Route Army. "One of my squadrons, none of which had yet exchanged fire with the Chinese army, was destroyed at once by them with a dense salvo of large-caliber cannons when it was still more than 100 meters away from the opposite position."

After listening to Montenegro's narration, the originally arrogant Nogami Shihe understood why his friend behaved so negatively, and if he put himself in Montenegro's position, he might not be able to perform better. After chatting carefully with Montenegro, Nogami Shiwa sent all the situations suspected by Montenegro back to the wing headquarters on the radio, and asked the wing to continue to send reinforcements to Cishan Town.

Compared with the reinforcements of the Japanese army, the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army came a little later, and it was not until midnight that the exhausted two infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army arrived at Cishan Town. With the weapons and equipment uniformly allocated by the coalition government, although the two infantry regiments have only more than 2,000 troops together, they are very different from the original in terms of weapons and equipment. "Lao Zhao, how is the situation?" Before all the parts were settled, the two regiment commanders who were anxious came to Battalion Commander Zhao, eager to know the battle situation of the past two days and the movements of the Japanese army on the opposite side.

"Yo, it's you two leaders." As soon as Battalion Commander Zhao saw that he was an old acquaintance, he warmly greeted the other party to take a seat, and then simply told the two regiment commanders about the battle situation in the past two days, and praised Zhang Shan's small new army unit very much.

"The new army is indeed powerful, not only is people's weapons and equipment better than ours, but it is also unambiguous to fight. Before coming to support you, the two of us also made a trip to Yangquan to receive the weapons and equipment allocated to us by the new army. When I got to Yangquan, I saw it, and it was really an eye-opener. The new army not only has tanks and armored vehicles, but also cannons, and the barrels of the cannons are so old and coarse, and if the cannon goes down, it will not be able to blow up the soul of the little devil. When it comes to the equipment of the new army, the two commanders of the Eighth Route Army are very envious, but they also know that they can only be envious.

The arrival of reinforcements not only stabilized the position, but also brought a batch of weapons and ammunition captured from the Yangquan Japanese puppet army to Battalion Commander Zhao, not to mention those weapons and equipment, just two canned meat per person, which had already made Battalion Commander Zhao ecstatic. "Great, I'm worried about food, so you've sent me supplies. If you come a few days late, I will have to equip the logistics of the Japanese army on the other side of the gun. ”

Both sides waited for reinforcements, and the gunfire, which had been silent for a day, sounded again in the early morning of the third day, accompanied by columns of smoke rising from the sound of explosions, and a large number of wounded on both sides were sent off the ground. "Lao Zhao, we have few people, and we also lack the artillery fire necessary for positional warfare. Otherwise, the position will be handed over to you, and I will take my men to the rear of the Japanese army, striving to destroy their artillery positions first, and then find a way to cut off their logistical supplies. After a day of fierce fighting, Zhang Shan was a little unwilling to trap dozens of people under his command in a positional battle, so he asked Battalion Commander Zhao to discuss countermeasures.

Although Zhang Shan's subordinates are few, they are good at fighting surprise battles, which Zhang Shan has already proved to himself, and for Zhang Shan's suggestion, Battalion Commander Zhao didn't think much about it at all, so he nodded and agreed. "Do you want me to draw some more people for you, although our Eighth Route Army is not as equipped as your new army, when it comes to the ability to fight guerrilla warfare and sports warfare, it is not much worse than yours." Battalion Commander Zhao kindly transferred troops to Zhang Shan, but he didn't want to, but Zhang Shan politely declined.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, I don't mean anything else, mainly because our guys are a whole in the training camp. We have our own set of tactics for cooperation, and suddenly adding people in will only make our coordination flawed. Regardless of whether Battalion Commander Zhao believed his explanation or not, Zhang Shan said what he thought in his heart. In fact, the New Army is very different from the Eighth Route Army in terms of weaponry, equipment, and training methods, and it is easy to say that the two armies cooperate in fighting positional warfare, but if they join forces to fight guerrilla warfare or movement warfare, there will definitely be a phenomenon of one side dragging its feet.

Seeing that Zhang Shan had already refused, Battalion Commander Zhao had no choice but to wish Zhang Shan and the others success, and 20 minutes later, Zhang Shan and the others, who were only carrying three days' rations, quietly left the position. "Don't look at it, people's combat methods are different from ours, and it may not be a good thing to force our two families together, maybe the most correct tactic is to fight separately." Seeing Zhang Shan and the others leave, a company commander under Battalion Commander Zhao was still a little reluctant, but Battalion Commander Zhao already understood Zhang Shan's intentions a little.
