According to Yuichi Okada's order, the leader of the devil squad lined up his squad about 800 meters away from the position of the first battalion, and after everyone was in position, he ordered to shoot at the position of the first battalion.

The commander of the first battalion did not know the true intentions of the devils at this time, thinking that the devils were attacking again, and ordered everyone to wait for the Japanese devils to enter the range of our army.

After all, the Eighth Route Army's current weapons are mainly made in Hanyang, and it is difficult to hit the target if the distance is too far.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army did not make any movement, the Japanese devils had no choice but to order the troops to advance another 200 meters, and after the advance, another round of firing was fired.

The commander of the first battalion seemed to be able to hold his breath and still did not let the soldiers fight back.

The Japanese devils could only move about a hundred meters forward and continue to shoot at the positions of the first battalion. The Japanese devils are also quite cautious.

At a distance of about 500 meters, the commander of the first battalion ordered a counterattack.

The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese devils began to shoot at each other, and the Eighth Route Army had not completely let go of fighting, and the gunfire was relatively rare. After all, this distance is still dominated by Japanese devils.

Since both sides are currently only firing at a long distance, the casualties are not very large, and after two rounds of firepower, the first company commander seemed to sense that something was wrong, so he immediately found a battalion commander to react to the situation, "Battalion commander, something seems to be wrong." You see, those devils are just shooting from a distance, and they don't mean to attack at all. The Japanese devils aren't going to stall there, are they? ”

After the first company commander finished speaking, the first battalion commander took the binoculars and observed: "Indeed, they don't look like they are attacking. Could it be that the devil is waiting for reinforcements to consume us like this? "The commander of the first battalion seems to have seen through the true intentions of the Japanese devils.

The commander of the first battalion then immediately made a countermeasure: "Order your company to attack immediately"

After receiving the order, the commander of the first company ordered the whole company to attack.

The little devil saw that the Eighth Route Army began to attack, and the good guy immediately retreated without hesitation.

The first company commander didn't expect the devil to run so simply, and looking at the Japanese devil who had escaped, the first company commander did not choose to chase deeply, but ordered the troops to return to the position.

The commander of the first company and the commander of the first battalion who returned to the position used binoculars to observe the movements of the Japanese devils in the forward position.

Because everyone's attention was on this small group of devils before, it was not until now that the first battalion commander and the first company commander found that the devils had dug trenches and built fortifications in the distance.

The commander of the first company seemed to be a little worried when he saw the Japanese devils who were building defensive positions: "Looking at the devils' movements, they are really waiting for reinforcements, right?" ”

The commander of the first battalion groped through his pockets and said while looking for cigarettes: "We are here to fight the Japanese devils, and I am not afraid that he will come too much, but I am afraid that he will not come." After speaking, the first battalion commander lit his cigarette and took a puff, and continued: "However, we must eliminate these devils in front of us before the devil reinforcements arrive, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers of the whole regiment." ”

"Battalion commander, don't worry, it's on me." The commander of the first company is full of confidence.

The commander of the first battalion waved his hand holding a cigarette, "Don't look at the devils, there are few people, but they are much better equipped than us, and the strength of one of your companies is estimated to be unable to defeat them." In this way, you and the second company will act together, and be sure to eliminate the devils on the opposite side before the devil reinforcements arrive. ”

On the position of the seventh company, Shen Yunjie saw everything that happened in the position of the first battalion just now, and also noticed that the Japanese devils had taken a defensive posture, and Shen Yunjie probably guessed that the Japanese devils were waiting for reinforcements, and the reinforcements of the Japanese devils would come soon, as fast as half an hour and as slow as an hour.

Shen Yunjie also knew very well in his heart that what was waiting for them would be a vicious battle, so Shen Yunjie decided to let everyone eat and fill their stomachs before the Japanese devil reinforcements arrived.

Shen Yunjie came to the cooking class alone.

"Dahe, hurry up and prepare breakfast for everyone," Shen Yunjie instructed Dahe while rummaging through the kitchen's things.

Don't get me wrong, it's just a kitchen, but it's just a simple shed.

"What? Preparing breakfast? "It was as if he had misheard. According to common sense, there is absolutely no time to eat when you are at war. Dahe's full name is Qi Dahe, thirty-five years old, and he is the leader of the Seventh Cooking Squad. Don't underestimate Dahe, according to himself, if he had been put aside five years ago, he would have been the chef of the Bajing Restaurant. One of the words that Dahe often said in his mouth was, "If we didn't have the ingredients, we could make a table full of Han people for the big guys."

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up" Shen Yunjie originally wanted to explain the reason to Dahe, but Shen Yunjie thought about it in a blink of an eye, and it was too troublesome to explain.

Dahe is still a little confused by the second monk until now, but since Shen Yunjie has told him like this, he shouldn't be wrong. Dahe didn't say anything more, and began to prepare breakfast for everyone according to Shen Yunjie's instructions.

Taiga gathers the cooking squad warriors together and assigns tasks to prepare breakfast.

After Dahe finished instructing, he saw that Shen Yunjie was still looking around, "Don't flip, you don't know what delicious food you can find in our food conditions."

Shen Yunjie stopped at this time, "But I'm so hungry now."

Dahe glanced at Shen Yunjie, "You can pull it down, even if you are hungry, you won't be able to turn things up." ”

Shen Yunjie thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Okay, hurry up, I'll call you when the meal is ready" Dahe blasted Shen Yunjie out of the kitchen.

About ten minutes, "Lao Cai, notify the big guy to eat"

Lao Cai was stunned at first, as if he had heard it wrong, "Huh?? ”

"What are you doing in a daze, I mean notify the big guy to eat" Shen Yunjie repeated after seeing Lao Cai's confused face,

Lao Cai said two times in a row, and then went to inform everyone.

Shen Yunjie was surrounded by the soldiers of the cooking class, and they carried two cauldrons to the forward position of the Seventh Company, and inside the cauldron was today's breakfast rice porridge.

After receiving the notice, the soldiers of the whole company began to line up to eat. At this moment, it was as if there was an illusion, as if the Japanese devils in front of them had nothing to do with them at all.

As soon as the third battalion commander came to the position of the seventh company, he saw that the soldiers of the seventh company were queuing up to eat, and the third battalion commander was first surprised and then puzzled.

When Shen Yunjie saw his battalion commander, he immediately greeted him, and hurriedly explained: "Battalion commander, I think that the brothers of the battalion of more than 100 devils on the opposite side are more than enough to deal with. That's why I'm taking the time to fill my stomach with the big guy."

After listening to Shen Yunjie's brief explanation, the third battalion commander also had a bottom in his heart: "Do you see you are so nervous?" I don't blame you."

Then Shen Yunjie and the third battalion commander looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Yunjie accompanied the commander of the third battalion to walk around the position of the seventh company, and saw the current appearance of the third battalion commander and was very satisfied with Shen Yunjie's position of the seventh company. The commander of the third battalion was very pleased and said, "I am relieved that the Seventh Company has you." ”

At this time, there are not many people who are cooking.

Lao Cai saw that Shen Yunjie and the battalion commander had finished their business, so he asked, "Battalion commander, why don't you bring you a bowl too?"

The third battalion commander walked to the cauldron and saw that there were still a lot of them in the cauldron, and then looked at Shen Yunjie again, "Okay, bring me a bowl just so that I'm hungry too."

Lao Cai hurriedly handed the third battalion commander a pair of chopsticks.

Shen Yunjie, Lao Cai, and the third battalion commander all found a place to sit down casually with a bowl of thin rice porridge.

The interpreter looked at the rice porridge in his bowl and asked the soldier next to him curiously, "You usually eat this?" ”

The soldier next to him expressed his affirmation, and at the same time noticed that the expression on the translator's face was very tangled at the moment, so he asked casually: "Do you think our living conditions here are too poor?" Do you particularly regret participating in our Eight Roads now? ”

After the soldier asked, the interpreter hurriedly shook his head: "I can't talk about regret, but I didn't expect the conditions here to be so bad." ”

When the Seventh Company had time to have breakfast, the commander of the first and second companies had already launched an attack on the Japanese devil's position.

The first company was on the left, and the second company was on the right, marching in unison towards the Japanese devil position.

When he was seven or eight hundred meters away from the Japanese devils, his movements gradually slowed down, and he cautiously moved towards the Japanese devils' position.

When the two armies were 600 meters apart, the Japanese devils took the lead in attacking, and after the gunshots rang out on the Japanese devils' side, they immediately reacted, and all the soldiers immediately lowered their bodies and crawled forward. The Eighth Route Army advanced more than 100 meters before it fired back against the Japanese devils, but there was no way that the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army were too far behind.

Successive counterattacks and continued to push forward. The Eighth Route Army was getting closer and closer to the Japanese devil positions.

The two armies were more than 400 meters apart, and the machine guns in the Japanese devil's position suddenly began to strafe one after another, and in an instant, six light machine guns sprayed bullets at the Eighth Route Army at the same time. Yes, you read that right, it was indeed six machine guns.

The bullets of the Japanese devils continued to shoot at the soldiers of the first and second companies as if they did not want money, and due to the powerful firepower output of the Japanese devils, the soldiers of the first and second companies were stuck at a distance of 400 meters and could no longer move forward.

The commander of the first company found that things did not seem to be as simple as he imagined, although the devils were few, the firepower of the weapons far exceeded his previous expectations, and the defense system of the Japanese devils had been established and perfected, and now the Japanese devils relied on their powerful firepower output to completely contain the joint attack of the first and second companies.

In desperation, the commander of the first company had no choice but to order the second platoon to break through.

With a few explosions of hands, the second platoon of the first company began to advance forcibly, and the soldiers of the second platoon rushed to the Japanese devil position in the rain of bullets.

The soldiers were indomitable and fearless of death, but the enemy's firepower was far beyond imagination, and the soldiers of the second platoon began to fall on the way to the charge.

The commander of the first company realized that this would not work at all, and if he insisted on forcing a breakthrough, not only would he not be able to destroy the devil on the opposite side, but the damage on his side would become more and more serious, and the commander of the first company had no choice but to order the second platoon to withdraw quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the second company also tried, but failed to break through the firepower of the Japanese devils.

The commander of the first and second companies also understood that any further consumption would only increase casualties, so they had no choice but to withdraw to their positions.

In the position of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the first company and the commander of the second company stood next to the commander of the first battalion with their heads bowed.

"I'm sorry battalion commander, I didn't get the job done." The commander of a company was the first to speak.

"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing to me. I've seen the general situation of your battle just now, and I can only say that we underestimated this Japanese devil too much. Now the commander of the first battalion seems to be more concerned about the casualties: "Okay, don't blame yourself too much, the most important thing is that I want to know about your casualties." ”

The commander of the first company replied, "The first company sacrificed eleven soldiers, and seven or eight were slightly wounded. ”

After the first company commander answered, the second company commander replied, "The second company sacrificed eight soldiers and nine were slightly wounded."

"Fortunately, the casualties are not too serious, well, since we can't attack it, then let's defend well."
