In the early morning, the soldiers who had been paying attention to the movements of the Japanese woke up Liu Gen, and the Japanese troops had some movement.

After slapping the face with cold water a few times, Liu Gen quickly rushed to the top of the Cross Ridge, took out his telescope and looked at the Japanese temporary camp. He could see that the Japanese were gathering and preparing for the pre-war preparations.

"Comrades, the Japanese's intentions are very obvious. They want to search the Cross Ridge area. No matter what, we cannot let the Japanese enter this area! Even if the Japanese are not coming for the Deputy Chief of Staff, we cannot let the Japanese come in, and we cannot have the slightest mentality of luck!"

"Monk, the next battle should be a tough battle. We act according to the opportunity. If we can, we will block this Japanese army at the foot of the Cross Ridge Mountain and prevent the Japanese from coming up." Liu Gen's face was particularly serious. Judging from the preparations of the Japanese army, this Japanese army should be cautious enough. They would not easily enter the Cross Ridge before they determined the specific situation in the Cross Ridge.

The silent disappearance of the infantry squad in the Cross Ridge area was enough to keep this Japanese infantry squad safe enough. They could not determine whether there were Eighth Route Army troops in the Cross Ridge area, but they could keep their vigilance enough.

"Genzi, can't you put these Japanese soldiers in? It's not difficult to kill them with our firepower." The monk didn't understand why Liu Gen wanted to do this. With the firepower in their hands, it was not difficult to kill a Japanese infantry team.

Didn’t the Japanese team that was easily killed by Liu Gen and others have proved this long ago? Why didn’t Liu Gen do what he did last time?

"Monk, the last time we were able to wipe out the Japanese squad was based on the fact that the Japanese were not prepared for it."

"Now, looking at the state of this Japanese squad, do you seem to be unprepared?" Liu Gen explained to the monk beside him.

The monk is very strong and is a powerful general who can charge forward, but in Liu Gen's opinion, the monk can do more and improve more. With the monk's ability, if he can really achieve certain results in leading troops, then he is more than enough to be a regiment commander.

"I understand. Judging from the status of these Japanese, it is obvious that they are prepared. If we want the Japanese to enter the ambush circle, it will be difficult for us to succeed."

"These Japanese are quite smart. If they can rush up directly, the battle can be easier." The monk couldn't help but speak. Compared with defense, the monk still prefers to take the initiative to attack. Perhaps because he has been with Li Yunlong for a long time, the monk especially likes to take the initiative to attack the Japanese. Only when he takes the initiative can he grasp the initiative in the battle.

The monk didn't understand these things very well. For him, as long as he could hold a light machine gun to charge, he would be satisfied. Although the monk also knew that taking the lead in charge had a high chance of sacrificing on the battlefield, he didn't care. He liked the feeling of taking the lead in charge. Maybe he came to this world just to take the lead in charge on the battlefield.

His eyes swept over the Japanese squad that was organizing weapons and equipment. Liu Gen noticed that there was actually a small artillery position behind the Japanese squad. However, due to the limitations of the size of the squad, the size of the artillery position was not large, with only two or three mortars.

"Monk, I know you don't like defense, so let me give you a task."

"Look at the artillery position of the Japanese, this Japanese squad was prepared for a long time. Otherwise, with the size of the Japanese infantry squad, it would be impossible to have two or three mortars. I usually don't like two or three mortars, but now if we can bring these mortars over, then our defense will be easier."

"Monk, how about it? Do you dare to go to the Japanese artillery position?" Liu Gen asked seriously.

Liu Gen has not many troops in his hands, and most of the troops must be left to defend the Japanese attack, which makes him not able to give too many soldiers to the monk, and at most five soldiers can only give to the monk.

"Why don't you dare? Genre, just think about it. Killing this Japanese artillery position is a matter of being able to capture it." The monk said confidently.

Soon, the monk took five soldiers away. He wanted to take the soldiers around the position of the Japanese artillery position and then launch a raid to take the Japanese artillery position. In the monk's opinion, this matter was not difficult. Liu Gen and his team had few troops, and the strength of this Japanese squad was also a little nervous. There were not too many Japanese soldiers who could keep the artillery position. With the submachine guns in the hands of the monk and his team, as long as there was no problem, it would be a complete matter.

"Enter the scheduled combat position and be ready for battle!" Liu Gen ordered.

After knowing that he and others needed to stay on the Cross Ridge and waiting for the arrival of the main force, he took the soldiers to make sufficient preparations, and even prepared a lot of them in the appropriate shooting positions. At the same time, there were many traps arranged by the soldiers on the Cross Ridge, which were enough to delay the Japanese for enough time.

This Japanese infantry squad was very smart. After approaching the Cross Ridge, they decisively chose to divide the troops, and several Japanese touched towards the Cross Ridge. Before getting the exact news, the Japanese infantry squad should not have taken a step forward easily.

Seeing all this, Liu Gen was a little helpless. These Japanese were too cautious.

"Let these Japanese come over and see if they can be dealt with without shooting." Liu Gen said with a frown.

The soldiers nodded, staring at the Japanese who were exploring the way. These Japanese were very cautious and it was very difficult to kill them quietly. But the soldiers still chose to try. Unfortunately, even though the soldiers were very careful, one of the Japanese soldiers successfully fired.

The Japanese soldiers who fired the gun failed to hit any of the soldiers, but the soldiers' faces became extremely ugly, and they would have to collide head-on with other Japanese.

"Baga! There are indeed Tuo Eighth Route Army troops on Cross Ridge!"

"Report to the squadron immediately and inform the squadron leader that there are unknown numbers of the Eighth Route troops on Cross Ridge and request support." The captain of the Japanese Infantry Squad issued a decisive order.

After the Japanese squad leader issued such an order, he did not have the idea of ​​rushing to the Cross Ridge with other Japanese. He did not think that the Eighth Route Army troops on the Cross Ridge were of great combat effectiveness, but he still chose to remain cautious. He only had to wait for two hours to get some support.

Before the support troops arrived, the Japanese squad leader would not take the initiative to launch an attack on Cross Ridge. After ordering the Japanese squad leader to defend with all his might, the Japanese squad leader hid behind the cover without leaving any shooting angle.

"Damn it! These Japanese devils are so cunning! They must be waiting for reinforcements!" Liu Gen said helplessly.

Liu Gen looked at the Japanese below the Cross Ridge. He could see these Japanese defending with all their might. Needless to say, they would not take the initiative to attack unless the support troops of these Japanese soldiers arrived. And if Liu Gen and others launched an attack, it would be difficult to take down this Japanese infantry squad.
