With the soldiers repairing the position, Liu Gen also asked the soldiers to find the branches, before getting the order, the three Type 92 infantry guns will be covered with branches to avoid being discovered by the devils.

Don't blame Liu Gen for being so cautious, the three Type 92 infantry guns are the treasures of the new regiment, and there can be no problems. If the devil knew that the new regiment had three ninety-two infantry guns before the battle began, and destroyed them, then the artillery company would have no meaning of existence. Whether it is the artillery of the devil or the aviation unit of the devil, it can easily destroy the Type 92 infantry artillery of the new regiment.

After hiding the infantry guns, Liu Gen let the soldiers of the artillery company rest, probably because of the imminent battle, the soldiers were quite excited and did not feel too sleepy. The moonlight is falling, and the soldiers are constantly digging trenches, in order to avoid the devil's shelling causing too many casualties to the soldiers, the trenches naturally need to be dug well. At the same time, the fighters also dug small holes in the back of the trenches, and when the devils shelled them, they could hide in them.

Liu Gen has seen the small hiding hole dug by the soldiers, it is not very big, it can only accommodate one person, and it needs to be curled up. Hiding in such a small hole, the soldiers will be quite uncomfortable, but there is no way, with such a small hole, the soldiers may still survive, no, then they can only resist the devil's shells head-on and rely on luck to survive.

The artillery company is still some distance from the position on the front line, and there is no need to worry that the artillery fire of the devils will cover this area, but for the sake of the past, Liu Gen still asked the soldiers of the artillery company to dig out a lot of places where they could hide.

It is also the new regiment that is ready for battle in advance, if it is not prepared in advance, then it is undoubtedly impossible to wait until the devils attack, and then choose to dig trenches and open up small holes to hide. There is no way to choose to fight the devil head-on, and the new regiment needs to hold back part of the strength of the 108th Division and relieve some pressure on friendly troops.

Once the Devil successfully advances from this direction, then it will inevitably put more pressure on other friendly units, and the new regiment is here, so it is natural to ensure that the Devil cannot successfully advance. Previously, the headquarters had already issued an order to the new regiment, asking the new regiment to cooperate with friendly troops to block the advance of the 108th Division and crush their strategic intentions this time.

According to the headquarters estimate, the 108th Division will not invest too many troops in the vicinity of Linxian and Xingxian, and there will be only two wings at most. There is a battle going on in the entire northwest of Jin, and the devils can't draw too many troops to invest here. It's just that Fangshan Town is a little important to the devils, and they need to rely on the Beichuan River to continuously transport all kinds of materials, which also leads to the devils' transfer to Fangshan Town as many as two brigades.

Early in the morning, Liu Gen got relevant intelligence information from Ding Wei, and the devils who came to Fangshan Town did not have a wing, but only two infantry brigades at most. Detectives hidden around Fangshan Town reported that there were no Type 38 field artillery of the devils found in Fangshan Town, only four infantry guns. But even so, the situation facing the new regiment is not optimistic.

There are more than 2,000 devils in the two infantry brigades, and the devils also have a lot of mortars and grenadiers, and the other two infantry brigades also mean that they each have a machine gun squadron.

On the morning of 28 March, a squadron of devils marched towards Qidonggou Mountain, and nearly 200 devils scattered in formation and attacked towards Qidonggou Mountain.

The new group of fighters who had been preparing for a long time couldn't help but gear up after receiving the news that they were preparing for battle, they had long wanted to teach the little devil a lesson. Under the command of Ding Wei, the new regiment had already made all kinds of traps and laid a lot of mines in the mountain of Qidonggou. Now a squadron of little devils is coming, which makes the soldiers of the battalion stationed in the mountain of Qidonggou extremely excited.

In the cave ditch mountain, Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers were observing the devil's every move, and saw that the devil was very cautious, which made Zhang Dabiao know that it might take a while for the devil to reach the range of the first battalion of soldiers.

"Boom"

A devil accidentally rubbed a mine, and the explosion sounded loudly, and the shrenchnel scattered in all directions, taking away the lives of two devils.

The explosion of the mine made the already cautious devil even more cautious. Soon, a squad of devilish sappers came to the front, holding minesweepers and constantly probing.

"Battalion commander, the devil has started to sweep mines." In the ravine of the cave valley mountain, the soldier looked at Zhang Dabiao and spoke.

Zhang Dabiao picked up the binoculars and looked at the devil sappers who were clearing mines, knowing that there were mines on the mountain, and the devils would naturally not be stupid enough to use themselves to wade through mines. The appearance of the devil's sapper did not surprise Zhang Dabiao, he knew that the devil would do this. Zhang Dabiao was not unprepared, an order was conveyed, and soon the sharpshooters gathered in the first battalion took the initiative to close the distance towards the devil and chose to shoot.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

The sound of the 38 rifle sounded, and the 6.5mm bullet penetrated very strongly, and two or three of the devil sappers who were clearing mines suddenly fell.

The devil's sappers reacted quickly, and when the guns rang out, they climbed directly to the ground, and the fighters shot from a distance of five hundred meters, and there were not many fighters in a battalion who could do this. The fighters were also not greedy for merit, and after the shooting, they directly chose to transfer and hide.

"Shoot! Shoot! ”

The squadron leader of the devil gave an order, and the well-trained devil started shooting directly, and he didn't see clearly where the Eighth Route Army was, but he still gave an order, and only by carrying out a certain counterattack could these dirt eight roads be less arrogant.

Kudo Shimono is the squadron leader and lieutenant of this squadron, and this time their squadron entered the mountain first, or did he take the initiative to ask for battle. In Kudo Shimono's opinion, the combat effectiveness of these Dirt Eight Roads will not be strong, and with the squadron led by himself, he will definitely be able to easily defeat these Dirt Eight Roads. Looking at the dead sappers, Kudo Shimono's face was ugly, and under his command, the devils of the two squads divided into two directions and moved forward.

Faced with the dirt in his eyes, Kudo Shimono did not allow himself to fail, and he also took the initiative to move forward with the remaining team. The mountain is not high, only about 1,000 meters (I didn't find relevant information, the height the author thinks of himself), but the ravines are spread horizontally, and there are many trees, which is a natural forest farm. As a result, it was difficult for Kudo Shimono to find the traces of the Eighth Route Army, but he was unwilling to retreat, and he didn't want to let go of this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Boom"

Another mine was triggered, and one of the devil soldiers died, slowing down the devil's forward rush a little faster.

"Spread out, cover the sapper minesweeper, ready to shoot the enemy that appears!" Kudo Shimono ordered with a cold face.
