From the arrangement of the Japanese positions, Li Yunlong could see that the Japanese commander had some ability. On the only slope of the hill, the Japanese did not arrange obvious defensive positions. This is undoubtedly a bit strange. As long as the Japanese commander is not a fool, he will inevitably arrange sufficient defensive forces on this slope.

After all, this slope is likely to become the focus of the Eighth Route Army's offensive, but the Japanese commander did not do so, as if he had directly given up on the defense of the slope. The slope did not seem to have any Japanese defense, but Li Yunlong was sure that the Japanese defended the slope's troops, which would inevitably be a distance behind the top of the slope.

Arranged troops behind the slope undoubtedly increases the difficulty for independent regiment soldiers to rush up the slope. As long as the soldiers emerge from the slope, they will be living targets and will be directly killed by the Japanese's precise shooting skills.

"Damn it! These Japanese devils are very smart. It may be difficult for our independent group to successfully kill them." Li Yunlong said with a frown.

Liu Gen nodded. He also saw clearly the layout of the Japanese positions and imagined what would happen if he commanded his troops to attack the Japanese positions. The final result was not optimistic. With the defensive positions built by the Japanese, the independent regiment was prone to large casualties.

If all the troops of the Independent Regiment were here, it might be easier to capture the defensive position of the Japanese. However, since the Independent Regiment only used one battalion, the forces attacking the Japanese positions became a little nervous, and it would be much more difficult to easily capture the Japanese positions.

"This group of Japanese devils is a bit difficult, and casualties are probably inevitable."

"I think the soldiers did not bring any heavy weapons when they came here this time. It would probably take some effort to successfully suppress the Japanese firepower." Liu Gen said with a serious expression.

Li Yunlong was a little helpless, "Damn it, I came in such a hurry, where can I have time to carry heavy weapons? The heavy weapons are still behind, but with you, a good gunner, it will be difficult to suppress the Japanese firepower. I have never forgotten to bring you a mortar."

"This time the shell tube is enough. We want to end the battle in the shortest time. The Japanese reinforcements will definitely be on the way."

Liu Gen laughed. He was somewhat happy to be praised by Li Yunlong. It would be much more comfortable to carry a mortar. Liu Gen had enough information to suppress the firepower of the large Japanese troops, but he could still suppress such a small Japanese troops.

If Liu Gen is not qualified to be called the "God of Cannon" when facing such a small Japanese army cannot suppress the opponent's firepower.

"Give me the mortar!"

"Captain, let's try to attack." Liu Gen said.

Some soldiers brought the mortars and placed them next to Liu Gen, and Li Yunlong also began pre-war mobilization, so it was very necessary to launch a tentative attack on the Japanese. A tentative attack is also a way for the independent regiment to understand the Japanese combat effectiveness.

The Japanese have strong combat power, so let's retreat temporarily and wait for the arrival of heavy weapons before launching an attack. However, the Japanese have poor combat power, so the first battalion of soldiers will definitely take down the Japanese defensive positions in one breath under the command of Li Yunlong and kill these Japanese!

After a pre-war mobilization, the charge sounded, and the first battalion soldiers, led by Zhang Dabiao, took the initiative to launch a tentative attack on the Japanese. The focus of the first battalion's offense was on the slope of the Japanese defense. Even though they knew that the Japanese would place their main defensive forces here, Li Yunlong still chose this place.

The reason is very simple. The slope of the slope is not steep, which is very suitable for soldiers to attack and can save soldiers time to rush up hills. It is good to attack from other directions, but when it is spread out, the strength of a battalion will be a bit insufficient.

It is better to have a simpler direction of attack. When charging, the soldiers' positions are very dispersed and their bodies are pressed down very low.

It is beneficial for the Japanese to place their defensive positions behind the slope, but choosing to do so has made them give up their vision on the slope. Once the soldiers lie on the slope and do not easily emerge, it will be much more difficult for the Japanese to hit the soldiers.

Of course, unless the Japanese have too strong firepower, the soldiers will definitely not choose to lie on the slope, and charge will only need to really rush!

"Tututu", "Tututututu", "Tutututututu"

The Japanese had no idea of ​​saving ammunition. When they saw the first battalion of soldiers launching a charge, they directly chose to shoot. The light machine gun was very accurate under the control of the Japanese machine gunners, and they cooperated very well. Several chargers immediately fell down.

"Geni! Hurry up! Fire up! Kill his damn Japanese machine gunner!" Seeing that some soldiers were casualties, Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

Liu Gen didn't say anything. He picked up a shell and put it into the mortar. As soon as the Japanese machine gun fired, he adjusted the shelling angle as quickly as possible and prepared to shoot the Japanese! Without Li Yunlong speaking, Liu Gen would definitely fire directly and kill the Japanese machine gunner!

"boom"

The shells flew out and fell around the Japanese light machine gun in less than two seconds, and directly killed the Japanese light machine gun.

When they found that there were artillery soldiers in the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese machine gunners hurriedly hid, and at the same time they quickly looked around, wanting to find the location of the Eighth Route Army's mortars to launch fire. Soon, these Japanese discovered that after Liu Gen fired again, they found Liu Gen's location.

The remaining two Japanese machine gunners quickly reached an agreement. They poked their heads out immediately, pulled the light machine gun trigger, and shot towards Liu Gen's position. Targets with too far shooting distance will affect the accuracy of the light machine gun, but the five hundred meters position is still within the range of the Japanese light machine gun.

Next to the mortar, the Japanese were found firing at him. Liu Gen had no fear on his face. The bullet flew past his ears, and his brows did not frown! Adjust the angle of the shells, took out the shells, and completed the loading as quickly as possible, and the shells flew out with a bang.

During this process, two bullets hit Liu Gen's calf, causing Liu Gen's body to tremble slightly, but he still insisted on completing the shelling of the Japanese light machine gunner.

Liu Gen knew that when facing the shooting of the Japanese light machine gun, he could not be afraid, nor could he retreat half a step. Only when the Japanese light machine gun was launched to shoot was his best chance to kill them.

"boom"

The shell exploded and the Japanese light machine gun was killed again, so the machine gunner naturally couldn't escape. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese were only left with a light machine gun.

When the Japanese machine gunner saw that Liu Gen had killed a light machine gun again, he was the only one left, which made the remaining Japanese machine gunner keep pulling the trigger as if he was crazy. He wanted to kill Liu Gen and kill this mortar of the Eighth Route Army!
