    The observer next to him immediately began to use binoculars and the light of flares to search for the location of the sniper in the field in front of him.

    "There, at twelve o'clock!" the observer shouted.

    When the heavy machine gunner heard this, he immediately adjusted the muzzle of his gun and fired a burst of fire at that area.

    In fact, the observer did not really discover the exact location of Li Xiaochao.  Such a long distance, not to mention in the dark, would not be so easy to find even during the day.  But he can roughly judge the direction and distance based on the abundant bullets.

    In the sniper scope, Li Xiaochao saw the figure of the machine gunner flicker.  He knew that he must have hit the enemy. Just when he was excited, a series of bullets hit all around him.

    Li Xiaochao immediately shrank his neck, thinking that if Instructor Song saw this, he would most likely have to run around the mountain road again.  Because after their snipers complete a shot, in order to prevent the enemy from pouring firepower here, they need to immediately move their position and then shoot again.

    But just now Li Xiaochao was so happy that he forgot about this incident.  If it weren't for the fact that the distance was too far and he was better concealed, those bullets might have eliminated him.

    He suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately began to lower his head and bend over, quickly moving in the other direction.

    Then he set up the infrared night vision device in his hand again, and searched for the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points in the scope.

    Several other snipers are doing the same thing.  Most of the Japanese heavy machine gunners on the turret were shot dead.  Although other machine gunners rushed forward immediately, the gap gave the soldiers of the 122nd Regiment valuable time to advance.

    Their attack adopted the three-three system, which was carried forward by the People's Liberation Army on the Korean battlefield.  In this war where one country singled out the United Nations, this infantry tactic played a huge role during the charge.

    They work in groups of three and allocate firepower reasonably.  When the Japanese troops in front looked over, they seemed to have seen a human sea tactic.  But in fact, due to positioning issues, the distance between each of their groups was kept at about seven or eight meters to prevent the formation from being too dense and causing unnecessary casualties.

    While the troops on the front took advantage of the gap to advance forward, the rocket launchers and flamethrowers on the flanks, as well as the demolition teams, finally arrived at the flanks of the Japanese artillery towers.

    The Japanese firepower here is much smaller than the front where the heavy machine gun firepower suppresses it.  But even so, they must proceed cautiously.

    When they reached a distance of about two hundred meters, they stopped.  Because further forward, we will reach the range illuminated by Japanese military flares.  If they charge rashly, if the fuel tank of a flamethrower is exploded, among other things, it is likely to cause a wider range of casualties among soldiers.

    "Tell the regiment that we have now reached the flank of the Japanese army, but we need some cover. To attract the attention of the Japanese army." said the commander in charge of the flank attack.

    When Shi Zhijie received the situation from the front line, he knew that it was the turn of the battalion hidden in the highway drainage ditch to play a role.

    In the previous attack, the soldiers of the first battalion did not act rashly.

    At the beginning of the attack, the Japanese army fired flares here from time to time because they were afraid that the 122nd Regiment would attack from behind.  But now that the battle has started for half an hour, no one has been found on the road.

    This gave the Japanese army the illusion that the enemies were on the front and sides, instead of going back to the road.  So they simply didn't bother to fire flares here.

    "The first battalion starts taking action." Shi Zhijie ordered.

    When the first battalion started operating, the Japanese patrols and nearby strongholds were also disturbed by the sound of artillery fire.  When the Japanese troops at the Zhaojiagou stronghold were under shelling, they immediately sent a telegram asking for help.

    They immediately began to assemble troops, and together with the patrol team, they supported the Zhaojiagou stronghold.

    It only takes more than half an hour for these Japanese troops to support the Zhaojiagou stronghold.  Soon, they could already see the flickering artillery fire over Zhaojiagou.

    The first batch of Japanese reinforcements numbered only more than a hundred people.  But it has three armored vehicles, four trucks, and many sidecar motorcycles.  This makes their firepower very powerful, and one hundred people can exert the effect of two hundred.

    bringLeading this support force was the 13th Squadron under the Japanese 23rd Regiment, squadron leader Takechi Ratian.

    Behind him, Japanese troops from several other strongholds have also been mobilized and are now providing support here.  However, they are relatively far away, and it may take more than an hour to reach the Zhaojiagou stronghold for support.

    They were led by armored vehicles and trucks and drove on the road at night.

    But what they didn¡¯t know was that when their patrol had just passed through the front area, Staff Officer Wang Zichen of the 122nd Regiment had already led the soldiers of the reconnaissance company to install several anti-tank mines on the road.

    These landmines were specially deployed by Xia Yang considering the need to deal with the armored vehicles and tanks of the Japanese patrols.  It comes in handy at this time.

    It was dark at this time, and the situation was urgent. The anti-tank mines planted by the reconnaissance company were basically covered with a thin layer of soil, without any unnecessary cover-up.

    But even so, the Japanese armored vehicles were still not discovered.  Because night does not have to be day, subtle changes in soil color will not make any obvious difference at all under the bright car lights.  The Japanese armored vehicle drivers would naturally not pay attention to this.

    At this time, on the high ground on one side of the road, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company and heavy machine gun platoon were ready for the final battle.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
