    Things were not going well for the Sakata Alliance, and things were not going well for Numata Shigenori's headquarters along the way.

    In order to speed up, they took the main road, but unfortunately this was the home ground of the 7th Division Special Forces Team.

    After the Japanese army divided its forces, Numata Shigetori's troops had just walked a few steps when they heard a "boom". A soldier stepped on a mine laid by the 7th Division. Immediately, four or five soldiers were killed and injured. The scene was tragic.

    Numata Shigetori immediately sent engineers to clear mines. Unfortunately, the engineers were killed by Li Guoyao's snipers who were hiding in the dark just after they cleared a few mines.

    ¡°These snipers were so cunning. They deliberately did not kill people when they fired. Instead, they used these wounded to lure the Japanese troops to the rescue. In an instant, the Japanese troops were killed and dozens of people were injured.

    There are now more than 200 Japanese-made Type 97 sniper rifles in the 7th Division. Li Guoyao used these treasures to train more than 200 snipers, and now these snipers have been sent out by Jiang Feng to harass the Japanese army in small teams.

    To be honest, Li Guoyao looked down upon the Japanese-made Type 97 sniper rifle. This sniper rifle is a sniper rifle variant of the Type 38 standard rifle. It just has a sniper scope installed on the ordinary 38 cover.  Moreover, the magnification of the sniper scope is very low, so its performance is very average. The maximum killing radius is only about 400m, which is completely different from the sniper rifle used by Li Guoyao.

    ¡°But this kind of sniper rifle is better in that it is easy to replenish ammunition and has good concealment, so Li Guoyao finally held his nose and exchanged it for this sniper rifle.

    Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good. Not only was the little Jaap very slow under the harassment of snipers, but the casualties of the troops were not small, and they were very passive.

    This is the case with Numata Shigetori, and the same is true with the Yamada Regiment in front. They are constantly harassed by the special operations brigade, which makes the little devil almost collapse.

    The operation started at around eight o'clock in the morning, and it was not until five o'clock in the evening that Tanumata Shigetori's troops arrived at the foot of Saigu Mountain. They walked for more than nine hours for a mere twenty kilometers. This is definitely a record-breaking  .

    You must know that the Japanese army usually marches in a hurry, at least more than eight kilometers in an hour, and the distance of more than 20 kilometers usually takes no more than three hours, but today it took three times as long.

    In addition, Shigetoku Numata was angry at the casualties of the troops. Along the way, they were blocked and attacked by the Chinese army from time to time. By the time they reached Saigo Mountain, Shigetori Numata's unit alone had suffered more than 400 casualties.  .

    And they made various counterattacks along the way, but they didn't leave a single corpse of their opponent. It was really infuriating and scary at the same time.

    Since the troops had been working very hard that day, the soldiers not only felt extremely tired physically, but their morale was also very low. Therefore, Numata Shigetori did not attack the mountain immediately. Instead, he ordered the entire army to eat, rest, and recharge their batteries to prepare for tomorrow.  Attack the mountain.

    However, the little devils wanted to have a good sleep, but Li Guoyao had no intention of letting them go.

    Late at night, the entire Xigu Mountain was silent. Except for many bonfires in the Japanese camp in the large open space at the foot of the mountain, there was not even a single point of light in the entire mountainous area.

    At this moment, strange figures emerged from the grass and trees at the foot of the mountain.  I saw these people wearing weird military uniforms and carrying various equipment on their shoulders, sneaking towards the little devil's camp.

    Soon, these people stopped two kilometers away from the little devil¡¯s camp. Then these people started tinkering, and soon several small-caliber mortars were installed.

    Then a young man in his twenties debugged each one one by one, and then said: "It's almost done. Let's do a test shot first, then fire ten rounds rapidly to destroy all the shells, and then retreat directly to the mountains!"

    "Yes!" several gunners said with a little excitement.

    At this time, the Japanese camp was already full of snores. Except for the patrol troops around the camp, there was no one at all.

    However, at this moment, a dull sound suddenly came from the distance, and then a violent explosion was suddenly heard in the camp.

    The sudden sound immediately startled all the sleeping Japanese soldiers. They saw the Japanese soldiers rushing out of the military tent one after another, regardless of whether they were wearing clothes or not. They all shouted desperately: "Enemy attack.  Enemy attack"

    Of course, the most classic Japanese national curse is also indispensable - "Haga!"

    Numata Shigetori was not resting at this time. He had been angry all day and was drinking with Captain Yamada and others in the headquarters to relieve their boredom. At the same time, they were discussing how to attack the mountain tomorrow.

    After hearing the commotion, Numata Shigenori rushed out of his headquarterscame out, and at the same time ordered the search team to immediately search for traces of the enemy and gather the troops to counterattack.

    After more than half an hour of hard work, these chaotic soldiers were finally regrouped, and the soldiers who went to search also came back to report that they found an artillery piece left by that person on the hillside two kilometers west of the camp.  position, but no enemy was found. The opponent left nothing but dozens of shell casings on the ground.

    After some statistics, the shelling just now did not cause them much damage. It only killed a dozen soldiers and lost a number of tents.

    However, after such a torment, it was impossible for the soldiers to have a good rest, which made Numata Shigenori very angry.

    However, this was just the beginning. Starting from this attack, the Chinese army launched four attacks on Japanese camps.

    Although it did not cause too much damage to the Japanese army, it harassed the little devil so much that he could not sleep, which greatly affected the state of the Japanese army.

    Early the next morning, Numata Shigetori ordered the field kitchen to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for the soldiers.

    After finishing the meal, Numata Shigetori immediately ordered Captain Yamada to lead the three brigades of the headquarters to advance towards Saikoyama and attack the outer positions of Saikoyama, and at the same time ordered another infantry regiment to serve as a reserve team.

    Infantry Captain Yamada Yokogi, Colonel Yamada, is over 50 years old. He has a thin body and a pointy head like a large Sam bomb. At first glance, he looks like an old country man, but his small eyes often reveal a fierce look.  His hungry wolf nature.

    After receiving the order, Colonel Yamada Yokogi immediately led the team to set off. The Yamashita Battalion was in the front, the Koizumi Battalion was in the middle, and the Aso Battalion was in the rear. With the assistance of the artillery battalion, they fought towards Nishikoyama in a mighty manner.

    As soon as they arrived at the foot of Xigu Mountain, the Yamada Regiment discovered the defensive fortifications built by the Seventh Division. They were deep trenches that gradually rose along the bottom of the mountain to halfway up the mountain. There were also a large number of semi-trenched trenches in these trenches.  The sheltered bunker is just like the one outside Quanjiao County.

    Seeing such a defensive position, even Captain Yamada, who was experienced in combat, took a breath of cold air.

    He knew that in order to capture the defensive position yesterday, the brigade and regiment headquarters spent a lot of money, and even had to use special cigarettes to finally capture Quanjiao County.

    But even so, in less than a day's attack, the brigade headquarters also lost more than 1,500 people, and the casualties were beyond imagination.

    But Captain Yamada knew that he had no escape route and had no other way but to attack him.

    In view of this, Colonel Yamada immediately ordered his first brigade to go into battle immediately.

    Following the order of Colonel Yamada, the Second Squadron of the 1st Squadron of the Yamashita Battalion was ordered to launch a tentative attack.

    This probing attack is also very particular. It cannot be too strong or too weak. If it is too strong, it will not be a probing, but a direct force attack. The purpose of the probing attack is to figure out the enemy's firepower deployment, and then use artillery  Destroy it with just the strength of an infantry squad.

    However, as soon as the Japanese army moved here, they were violently blocked by the 7th Division, and the defenders deployed on the first line of defense at the foot of the mountain opened fire immediately.

    There were originally two hills at the entrance to Xigu Mountain, and together with the main mountain, they formed a perfect triangle. When the Seventh Division attacked from the front, they failed to capture it. Li Guoyao personally led people to reach it from the back mountain.  Then we conquered this place from top to bottom.

    It¡¯s not that easy for the little devil to attack from the front now.  You must know that in order to strengthen defense, Li Guoyao forced people to build a large number of bunker groups here. The entire bunker group was equipped with 8 single heavy machine guns. Coupled with a large number of light machine guns and riflemen, the firepower was beyond imagination.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
