    When Shi Zhijie, the commander of the 122nd Regiment, heard this, he licked his lips and while observing the Japanese stronghold in Zhaojiagou in the distance with a telescope, he said: "Damn, with such fierce firepower, if we attack head-on, we will die.  Young brother."

    Wang Zichen said: "If we can take it down with a hundred casualties, it will be considered good."

    "One hundred people?" Upon hearing this possible number of casualties, Shi Zhijie felt a burst of pain in his body, as if these one hundred people had been killed and injured by the Japanese army.

    "This is still a conservative estimate, it may be more. I think we can first request artillery bombardment from the artillery regiment. With luck, we might be able to eliminate a few Japanese artillery towers. Then our soldiers will attack again, using flames  By taking turns attacking with jets and rocket launchers, we should be able to take down this stronghold at the minimum cost," Wang Zichen suggested.

    Shi Zhijie said: "You should go and tell the artillery regiment now to fire at least a base number of shells for us. I will do some reconnaissance here and arrange a specific offensive strategy for a while."

    Wang Zichen nodded, and then began to notify the artillery regiment to apply for shelling.

    They spent more than three hours investigating the Zhaojiagou stronghold.  In order to ensure that Shi Zhijie had a sufficient understanding of the enemy's stronghold, he dispatched four reconnaissance squads to conduct repeated observations on the periphery.

    These investigators recorded in detail all the terrain around Zhaojiagou, as well as the arrangement of the Japanese heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the turrets, and even the patrols from other Japanese strongholds, and how often they passed by this stronghold.  clearly.

    It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and Shi Zhijie led his investigating soldiers back to their unit's temporary base.

    After arriving at the station, he immediately held a military meeting and began to arrange his company and battalion-level commanders to discuss issues that needed to be paid attention to during the attack.

    They plan to launch an attack at night. Compared with the Japanese army, they are equipped with a large amount of field equipment.  Therefore, during night battles, they always have a certain advantage over the Japanese troops.  This is also the reason why Xia Yang's troops always like to have many battles at night.

    After all, with these equipment advantages in hand, Xia Yang naturally had to make full use of them.  To a certain extent, this is an asymmetric advantage they have over the Japanese army.

    Winter is approaching, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.  Before six o'clock, it started to get dark.

    Shi Zhijie led his troops and began to advance towards the Japanese stronghold in Zhaojiagou while it was dark.

    An hour later, they arrived at the outskirts of the Zhaojiagou stronghold from their temporary station.

    At this time, the two searchlights of the Japanese army on the turrets were continuously scanning the roads and fields to prevent anyone from crossing the blockade area in the dark.

    "The Japs' searchlights can illuminate up to 500 meters away. We will make a detour 500 meters away. Then we can attack the Japanese artillery towers from two directions at the same time." Shi Zhijie said to several of his men.  the battalion commander said.

    "First battalion commander, you take your brothers and take a detour to the opposite side of the road. There are two drainage ditches over there. You climb along the inside of the drainage ditch. The Japanese army cannot see you from the gun tower." Shi Zhijie said.  "You will start taking action after the next wave of Japanese patrols has passed. The next wave of Japanese patrols will arrive in about an hour."

    "Yes, regimental seat." The battalion commander said, then received the order, led his soldiers, and began to crawl forward toward the blind spot monitored by the searchlight.

    "Staff Wang, you take the people from the reconnaissance company and set up observation equipment for night battles on the high ground on the east side. At the same time, let the heavy machine gun platoon of the second battalion go over. You can set up the heavy machine gun platoon on the high ground on the east side.  Aim your firepower at the highway, so that if the Japs patrol comes to support you, you can stop them on the high ground on the east side," Shi Zhijie said.

    Wang Zichen nodded and said: "No problem, regimental leader." With that said, he took the reconnaissance company and a heavy machine gun platoon with three heavy machine guns and ran towards the high ground on the east side.

    That highland can control the highway. If the Japanese patrol team or troops from nearby strongholds come to support, they can block the attack on that highland.

    "The remaining brothers will join me in a frontal attack. We will try to take down this Japanese stronghold within two hours.

    After taking down the stronghold, we immediately built a defensive position on the east side to ensure the safety of the main force through the passage we opened.Enter the Wutai Mountain area.  Shi Zhijie pointed at the map and said.

    "No problem, regimental seat." The battalion commanders and company commanders replied in unison.

    After the arrangements were made, they all entered their predetermined fighting positions.  Then quietly waiting for the next wave of Japanese patrols to pass by.

    At this time, inside the Zhaojiagou stronghold, the Japanese commander in charge was Kanagawa, the captain of the 7th Squadron of the 23rd Regiment.

    Unlike the silence outside, the stronghold was quite lively at this time.  In addition to the soldiers on duty, many other soldiers were gathered in the square in the middle of the stronghold, singing and dancing around the bonfire and dancing their Yamato national dances.

    Because today is no other day, it is the birthday of Kanagawa, the commander of this stronghold.

    In order to celebrate his birthday, Kanagawa asked the chef in the stronghold to cook some delicious dishes, and also asked the warden of a nearby village to send over two pigs.

    The puppet company commander was carefully waiting beside Kanagawa, flattering him in unskilled Japanese.

    Kanagawa is also happy today, and he is not disgusted with these flattery, and he is chatting with the puppet company commander with great interest.

    "Why is it so lively inside the Japanese stronghold?" a soldier asked.

    Shi Zhijie held a telescope and looked at the Japanese stronghold where noises came from time to time, and he was a little confused about the situation.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
