    This improves the efficiency of fighter and bomber operations and shortens the time required to call for air support.

    "Okay, part of our air power is reserved exclusively for you.

    This battle is very important. If we can win it, it will be very beneficial to the development of subsequent battles.

    "If you don't fight well, I don't need to tell you that the head of your Eighth Route Army will punish you.  "

    Xia Yang said.

    Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "Don't mention it. In order to win this main attack mission, I swore all kinds of poisonous oaths.

    "If there is no way to tear out a hole in the little devil's first line of defense this time, then Lao Li will really have no face to see others, so he might as well just hang himself.  "

    As he spoke, he made a hanging gesture.

    Zhao Gang on the side said: "Commander Xia, don't listen to Lao Li's nonsense. Although he issued a military order, if the battle is really defeated by then, let alone hanging himself, this guy will definitely deny that he has issued it before.  Those poisonous oaths.¡±

    Xia Yang looked at the two living treasures and said, "I won't say more. Do you need any engineering equipment for your soil work? If you need it, tell me in advance. As long as I have it, I will try my best to provide it.  For your use."

    "There is not much need. The war is raging. Even if there are engineering equipment, it is not easy to use."

    Li Yunlong said, "That thing is too big and conspicuous. The Japs' mortars and machine guns must be staring at him."

    "That's true, okay, that's it. I'm going back here. I hope you can win the first battle."

    Xia Yang stood up and said.

    "Don't worry, Commander Xia, otherwise I won't be able to support you with so many weapons and equipment."

    Li Yunlong saluted him.

    Zhao Gang, who was next to him, also said: "Commander Xia, walk slowly!!"

    Xia Yang saluted them with a military salute and walked out.

    After Xia Yang left, Li Yunlong immediately said: "Order all battalion commanders and company commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting immediately. Before noon today, we need to launch the first wave of offensive against the enemy."

    Li Yunlong said categorically.

    On the Japanese defensive front, Meijiro Xiangzu looked at the defensive position opposite, and then said: "Our people are all in place."

    "Everything is in place. Our troops have now begun to enter combat positions. Our armored troops are now hidden. If the enemy penetrates too deep, our troops can immediately launch a counterattack against them.

    This time, the Eighth Route Army will not get much benefit.  "

    Sao Jinzhi also said very confidently.

    Xiangzu Meijiro nodded and said nothing.

    He raised his head. The warm spring sun was shining on the earth. Under the warm sun, Japanese soldiers were carrying various ammunition boxes in the trench.

    ¡°The smell of gunpowder smoke has spread from all directions.¡±

    ??Xiangzu Meijiro said.

    And at this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from a distance.

    "Enemy shelling!! Pay attention to concealment!!"

    Everyone shouted.

    After saying this, their troops immediately got into the air-raid shelter dug in advance.

    There are also many soldiers who got into the cat's ear holes to avoid the damage caused by artillery bombardment to the greatest extent.

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    Like a thunderous explosion, the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army concentrated hundreds of artillery pieces and simultaneously bombarded the Japanese defensive positions.

    The areas they bombarded were not only the front positions of the Japanese army, but also some positions in the rear of the Japanese army, which were also within their bombardment range.

    The Japanese army also responded quickly. They were already expecting the bombing of the Fourth Army, so they dug air-raid shelters in advance that were enough to defend against the Fourth Army's artillery.

    According to their speculation, after the bombardment of the Fourth Army is over, the charge of the Eighth Route Army will begin.

    This is already a very familiar routine for them.  After all, that's what they do all the time.  "

    The Eighth Route Army soldiers opposite him did not prepare a large number of rifles and grenades for charge.

    Instead, each man has an engineer shovel and hides behind the trench.

    Just after their artillery started bombarding, these Eighth Route Army soldiers roared and rushed forward.They used the engineering shovels in their hands, like pangolins digging caves one by one, to dig out traffic trenches that allowed them to pass through the land.

    These soldiers planned several digging routes, all of which were designed in a zigzag shape, so that they could avoid the frontal firepower of the Japanese army to the greatest extent.

    The soldiers were divided into three shifts. Each soldier dug intensively for about ten minutes, and the soldiers behind him would immediately follow.

    In this way, they can ensure the fastest excavation speed.

    In addition, they also excavated many places. On the front line of more than ten kilometers, countless Eighth Route Army soldiers were using their engineering shovels to throw the soil to both sides, constantly shortening the distance between them and  The distance between Japanese positions.

    The Japanese army on the opposite side was covered by the intensive artillery fire of the Fourth Army at this time, and they had no idea what was happening on the opposite side.

    And just when the artillery firepower of the Fourth Army finally stopped bombarding, the Japanese soldiers, after the smoke dissipated, saw shovels throwing piles of soil out of the traffic trenches.

    The Japanese troops who originally planned to use machine gun fire to block the charge of the Eighth Route Army saw such a scene and were stunned on the spot.

    "Why didn't they charge? Instead, they dug trenches here."

    "It's hard to tell. They want to shorten the distance between them and us in this way. In this way, they can minimize the effect of the firepower we build on the front."

    A veteran said at this time.

    ?Xiangzu Meijiro looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes became very solemn.

    He immediately shouted: "Order the artillery in the rear to immediately bomb the area where the enemy dug trenches!!"

    "yes!!"

    The soldier beside him shouted.

    The Japanese artillery positions also suffered considerable losses during the fierce bombing just now.

    This is the role of the reconnaissance troops of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army. They marked out the locations of the Japanese artillery units with incomparable accuracy. It was these locations that allowed the artillerymen of the Fourth Army to pour large-caliber artillery shells directly into the Little Japanese artillery positions.  above.

    Precisely because of this, the speed of the Japanese artillery counterattack was about half an hour slower than originally expected.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
