At this point, it is no longer realistic to sneak into the depths of the enemy camp with night raids as before.

In the past, when the Japanese army was in Xuzhou, Shanghai, the Japanese army was in a position of being in the middle of the day, and it was almost invincible on the Chinese battlefield, so it was natural to despise the Chinese army extremely.

As long as you despise the opponent, there will be danger, so the Japanese army at that stage, although it has been winning in the overall situation, is often hit by the night attacks of the Chinese army on the battlefield in small parts.

When it came to the stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army was also beaten painfully, and they also learned to be obedient, and the night precautions that they did not pay attention to before have now improved a lot, and even learned to attack at night, and the Chinese army occasionally came to attack at night.

Therefore, now that the tricks of both sides are clear, it is impossible to get it as easily as before.

In addition, now on the battlefield of Shanggao, the Japanese army was reversed after being at the end of the crossbow, and it was extremely afraid of the night attacks and night attacks of the Chinese army, and the precautions were very strict.

In the Japanese position in front of Yeshan Village on the front line of Yuntou Mountain, the flares at night came and went, and it was impossible for the Eighth Company to touch the camp as before.

It's just that the Japanese army has been fighting continuously with the Chinese army recently, and they can't get enough rest and are very tired, so it depends on who can continue to fight with fatigue at night.

The Japanese sentry posts were obviously much denser than before, and there were more guard changes, presumably for defense and for the sentries to rest more.

The Eighth Company was now scattered in the fields outside Yeshan Village, not daring to act rashly, this area was all open land, and it was necessary to cross this piece of land about three hundred meters wide to reach several small hills on the opposite side.

If the Japanese set up a light machine gun in the hill, in these three hundred meters, if the 8th Company wanted to rush over, it would not know how many people would have to be sacrificed, in case there was more than one machine gun on the opposite side, and if there was a heavy machine gun, it would be even worse.

The distance of 300 meters, neither far nor close, is a very embarrassing distance, the grenadiers cannot hit it, the mortars cannot be hit accurately, and the light machine guns cannot be grasped.

Even when the group is crawling to 200 meters under the flares, the grenadier canister may not be able to accurately hit the enemy's firing point, let alone the flexible light machine gun firing point.

But the current situation can only be like this, the frontal position from Yeshan Village to Yuntou Mountain has now begun, and in order to attack the east and the west, the third battalion sent seven companies to fight on the front.

The distance between these two sides is not very far, only two or three miles away, and Yeshan Village is so big that it can't be a big detour.

Besides, the Japanese army on the opposite side may be at least one brigade of the 34th Division, and a single person like the Eighth Company does not dare to leave the large army too far, otherwise they will be eaten by others and even the bones and dregs will be left.

But it's not far away, and you can't play the effect of detours and surprise attacks, there is no way, the battlefield is not a training ground, you can't go as you wish, you can only find a way to solve the problem within limited conditions.

The Eighth Company now deployed its forces and crawled forward, and when it reached the 200-meter area, it was discovered by the Japanese army, and it is not known whether the Japanese army deliberately let the Eighth Company enter this distance.

As soon as the Japanese army found out, it was natural that guns and cannons were firing in unison, mainly machine guns, and they were fanning towards the Eighth Company, and the bullets crackled in the dirt.

The Eighth Company now reacted immediately, and the grenadier groups were distributed in the second line to carry out fixed-point strikes at the Japanese machine-gun fire points, but at night, it was indeed very good for the firing technology, and it was difficult to hit the target accurately.

The Japanese army also had grenadiers and also fought, but not long after, when the Eighth Company had nothing to do, the Japanese army's firepower slowly weakened, and they didn't know what was going on, and they could only be explained by the shortage of ammunition.

This point was mentioned by several company commanders when they discussed operational tactics with the battalion commander Sangou, whether it was in terms of ammunition consumption or transportation volume of the Japanese army, the Japanese army should now be on the verge of ammunition shortage.

The 70th Army cut off the rear road of the Japanese army in Gao'an, and more than 10,000 Japanese troops were deprived of food, grass and ammunition at once.

The normal load of a single soldier is also the amount of ammunition to meet the medium-sized battle in a day, commonly known as a base, and in the past two days, the Japanese army and the Chinese army have been fighting on the ground continuously, and the ammunition of a base number cannot be supported at all.

Therefore, the Japanese army is also suffering from this problem, and can only concentrate ammunition for use, and collect some wounded and killed ammunition for combat soldiers.

On the side of Yuntou Mountain, the troops belonging to the palace gathered weapons and ammunition and distributed them to the front line of the palace troops, but even so, there were fewer and fewer of them.

This afternoon, the 34th Division of the Japanese Army began to summon the Air Force to airdrop food bombs, but it was already nearly dusk, and after the Third Flying Regiment of the Japanese Air Force received the news, it was too late to make preparations, and it was getting dark.

The plane loaded with food and bombs was parked at the Nanchang military airfield, waiting to be flown to the battlefield the next day to drop it, and it could not be seen clearly at night, and the success rate of the airdrop hitting the destination was very low.

But the current Chinese army will not give the Japanese army this respite, although they are also very tired, but they still attack overnight, forcing the Japanese army, using various tactics and fighting methods to force the Japanese army to retreat step by step.

Now the same is true here in Hayama Village, where the attack of the 3rd Battalion was just blocked at the beginning, but after holding out for a while, they all found out that the Japanese firepower had weakened.

The Seventh Company, which was a frontal containment feint, also clearly felt this change, but as a feint unit, it still did not dare to take the initiative to invest troops to increase the pressure of continuous attack.

First of all, the Seventh Company suffered heavy losses in Shanggao this time, and in the outpost position of Jingshan Pass, a whole third platoon was killed, and nearly one-third of its troops were lost in the white-knuckle battle, almost half of the losses were gone.

Now there are only nearly 100 men left in the 7th Company, and some lightly wounded soldiers have not retreated from the line of fire, and the pain and exhaustion continue to invade the fighters at the grassroots level.

In addition, it is only intuitively judged from the firepower that the Japanese army lacks ammunition, and it is not possible to determine that this is all right, in case the enemy deliberately induces the Chinese army to advance.

This is also very likely, or both, in other words, the Chinese army will also be like this when it encounters this situation, saving the use of ammunition, inducing the enemy to get close to the fight, and improving the hit rate, which is also a manifestation of saving ammunition.

The Seventh Company did not dare to go up, but the Eighth Company had to go up, and this was a battle plan formulated in advance, and the commander of the Eighth Company now issued an order to the whole company to continue attacking and advancing, regardless of whether the Eighth Company was in danger.

Compared with the Japanese army, the Chinese army is the same in terms of injuries and fatigue, but the Chinese army has the advantage of numbers, logistics support, and the people are well fed, and the guns are also well fed.

Since the ammunition was relatively sufficient, weapons were used to make up for the disadvantages in the terrain, and the current grenadier groups of the Eighth Company were all used in the front line.

Grenades are constantly being thrown into the front-line positions of the Japanese army, anyway, there are a lot of grenade throwing troops deployed, this thing is cheap and simple to manufacture, similar to a grenade without a wooden handle, a little simpler than a grenade.
