    Saburo Isoda said: "The latest news is that the enemy's troops are equipped with unknown anti-aircraft weapons. Our reconnaissance aircraft and fighter formations have suffered heavy losses. The attitude of the aviation force is that if the enemy's anti-aircraft weapons cannot be found out,  Why, they refused to continue supporting us. After all, they lost too many fighter planes and excellent pilots in those two days."

    Suematsu Shigeshi said: "Forget it, it won't affect the overall situation. Let the soldiers have a good rest today, and start attacking the enemy's positions early tomorrow morning. We must let my soldiers cross Xiongfeng Ridge before sunset tomorrow."

    Isoda Saburo said loudly: "Yes, division commander."

    With that said, they rode into the camp.

    The moment they stepped into the camp, snowflakes began to fall again from the cloudy sky above their heads.  This is how it is in winter in northern China. Once it starts to rain, it often takes a few days to gradually stop.  In these mountains, it is quite normal to have snow cover for a whole month.

    "It's starting to snow again." Isoda Saburo couldn't help but said while looking at the falling snowflakes above his head.

    "Yeah, it's snowing again, and Hokkaido is probably covered in snow now." Suematsu Shigeshi said, unable to help but think of his mother in Hokkaido.

    "Yes, I haven't been back to my hometown for two years. The snow in Hokkaido is even heavier than here." Saburo Isoda said. He and Shigeshi Suematsu are from the same hometown, so he couldn't bear to hear him mention Hokkaido.  I miss my hometown.

    "After this battle is over, we can go back." Suematsu Shigeshi said with a smile on his face.

    He said this easily, but he did not realize that the criminal war they launched has made countless Chinese people no longer able to see the snowflakes that fell on this land in 1939.

    At this time, on the position of the Japanese 16th Division dozens of miles away from Xiongfeng Ridge, heavy snow fell again, causing many soldiers to enter the depths of the tunnel.  Outside the position, some people were left to guard the position.

    But less than a kilometer away from their position, a group of soldiers wearing white cloaks were approaching them little by little under the cover of heavy snow.

    This force is mainly composed of guard battalions, and on their wings are the other two battalions of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Division.

    The target they want to attack is the inconspicuous Japanese position in front of them.

    That is the position where the Japanese Third Squadron is stationed. On top of the long Japanese defense line, it is not a very important position.  Only more than two hundred people were stationed on the position.

    But Xia Yang and Brigadier Chen chose to dispatch a full regiment of troops to attack here.  It also includes the most elite guard battalion.

    This is the tactic formulated by Generals Xia Yang and Chen. The Japanese defense line is spread over a large area, which makes their defenses watertight but weak in some places. Often there is only a small team or a squadron of troops stationed there.  Hold positions hundreds of meters or even miles long.

    So Xia Yang concentrated his troops, just like a sharp knife, stabbing at these weak points.  This can easily open a gap in the Japanese defense line without having to fight hard on the Japanese main positions.

    The reason why they did this was actually more of a test.  They need to see how much mobile force the Japanese army can mobilize.  In other words, the only troops that the Japanese army can fight are those on the battlefield.

    After all, once these weakly defended areas are attacked, the Japanese military headquarters will definitely dispatch mobile troops to support them as soon as possible.  But what if they no longer have mobile troops?  Then one can only watch helplessly as these defense lines with insufficient strength fall.

    If they rashly allocate troops from other lines of defense to support those weakly defended areas.  It is tantamount to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. On the contrary, it messes up the situation, which is even more detrimental than gain.

    Tonight, Xia Yang needed to use this night attack to find out the details of the Japanese army.  See if they are hiding their weakness, or if they really still have strong combat effectiveness.

    Hu San led the soldiers from the guard battalion, wearing white cloaks, like white ghosts. Under the cover of heavy snow, they passed through the bare jungle and approached the Japanese position little by little.

    "Battal Commander, there are still more than two hundred meters away from the enemy's position. The snow is too heavy now, and we can't see clearly the situation over there. We can only judge the approximate distance through a rangefinder." said a soldier.  , pointing with his hand at the Japanese army position filled with heavy snow in the distance.

    ? ?The place was already shrouded in heavy snow and darkness. Because the Japanese troops were afraid of being exposed, there were no bonfires on the position. It looked pitch black, as if there was nothing.  At this time, most of them were hiding in the tunnel, leaving some sentries behind, looking at the dark wilderness below against the howling wind and snow.

    "Two hundred meters, this also depends on the visual field. We should be careful. It won't be a problem to touch the Japs' positions. They have barbed wire there. We will use the sound of wind and snow to pass through there and kill the Japs' sentries. Then send a signal  To the attacking troops on both wings." Hu San issued a simple combat order.

    The soldiers in the guard camp are all experienced soldiers. They already know how to carry out such a brief order from Hu San.

    No one in the entire army spoke, but they began to perform their tasks in a tacit understanding.

    Soldiers from more than a dozen guard battalions came out and began to crawl on the snow, climbing towards the Japanese position bit by bit.

    On the Japanese position, a Japanese soldier lowered his head, took a strong drag on the butt of his cigarette, then threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped on it hard.

    "You still smoke, so you are not afraid that the squadron leader will whip you." A veteran jumped in and said.

    When the recruit saw the veteran, he laughed and said: "I picked up a cigarette butt on the ground and took two puffs without holding back." They didn't have enough supplies at this time, such as cigarettes, and they, the lower-level soldiers,  Basically you can't draw it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
