    After receiving Li Guoyao's order, Zhang Tengjiao did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the troops besieging the Beizhuang Town stronghold to change their tactics, strengthen their offensive, and destroy the little Japanese stronghold in the northeastern mountains.

    With the exertion of Zhang Tengjiao's troops, several heartless cannons assigned to the troops were quickly transported to the outskirts of the stronghold, assembled with the joint efforts of engineers and artillery, and then opened fire.

    Although the preparation before firing this heartless cannon is very cumbersome and it is also very dangerous, but once it is fired, its power is not small.

    With a few dull sounds of "bang bang", several huge round explosive packets were seen flying towards the Japs stronghold not far away.

    Although most of the "cannonballs" deviated from their intended impact points, two explosive packets still hit the target.

    With an explosion that shook the ground, half of the Japs' turret was torn off, and the Japs' machine gunners and grenade launchers on the third floor were all blown into ashes.

    Then Zhang Tengjiao ordered the gunners to continue shelling the Japs¡¯ stronghold. After three consecutive rounds of shelling, the Beizhuang Town stronghold was completely reduced to ruins. The Japs¡¯ stronghold deep in the mountains of Lunan completely ceased to exist.

    Not long after the stronghold in Beizhuang Town was destroyed, the Japanese Zaozhuang garrison headquarters noticed an abnormality, because according to the orders of Tsuchiya soldiers and horses, all strongholds outside the city must report the situation to the city every half hour. In addition,  Strongholds such as Beizhuang Town and Lucheng Town were being harassed by Chinese troops, so contacts were made more frequently.

    However, Beizhuang Town had no contact with the Zaozhuang garrison headquarters for more than half an hour, and the garrison headquarters could not contact them. Therefore, Tsuchiya soldiers and horses and others immediately knew that the Beizhuang Town stronghold was in danger.

    After being shocked, Tsuchiya soldiers and horses knew that their judgment may have been wrong. The Chinese army outside the city may not be the main force, but its combat effectiveness is still strong and poses a great threat to the strongholds outside the city.

    In view of this, Tsuchiya soldiers and horses immediately ordered the troops in the city to immediately reinforce the Lucheng and Xiacheng strongholds that were under siege.

    In order to avoid being ambushed by the Chinese army on the road, Tsuchiya soldiers and horses mobilized two-thirds of the troops in the city, and even the only tank squadron at the brigade and regiment headquarters was dispatched.

    When the main force of the Japs marched out of Zaozhuang City, Li Guoyao smiled. The Japs will be the Japs after all, so they still can¡¯t keep their anger!

    Then Li Guoyao once again ordered people to send a report to Zhang Tengjiao's headquarters, ordering them to rely on the terrain to block the Japanese reinforcements on the Tiger Mountain and Yinshan lines, but not to get entangled. After the exchange of fire, the two sides immediately retreated and took the Japanese reinforcements in circles in the mountainous area.

    At the same time, the main force of the guerrilla army is ready to attack Zaozhuang!

    ?? Tiger Mountain is a small mountain located in the northeast of Zaozhuang. Although the altitude is not high, it does look a bit "beautiful" because it is surrounded by undulating hills.

    Since this is the only way from Zaozhuang to the lower town stronghold, Zhang Tengjiao ordered an infantry squadron to build a blocking position here to prepare to block Japanese reinforcements.

    At 2:30 in the morning, Major Shichiro Sato, captain of the fourth battalion of the Japanese independent mixed sixth brigade, led reinforcements from two infantry squadrons and came straight to the lower town under the cover of six tanks.

    "However, the troops were ambushed by the Chinese army when they passed through Laohu Mountain. In fact, it is not necessarily an ambush, because the Chinese army did not hide their presence, but only laid a mine array two kilometers in front of the blocking position.

    "As a result, the little devil didn't notice it and plunged into the mine array, and was blown up until he cried like a ghost.

    Although the formation was relatively dispersed and the area of ??the mine formation was limited, Zhang Tengjiao's round of maneuvers still killed more than a hundred or so little Japs.

    More importantly, there were forty or fifty more wounded in the army, which placed a huge burden on the Sato brigade.

    The wounded and the corpses are different, because the corpses do not need to be restrained in time, let alone taken care of, but the wounded do not and must be treated in time. Some wounded with limited mobility need other people to support them or simply carry them on a stretcher.

    Let's put it this way, basically one wounded soldier needs at least two healthy soldiers to take care of him. The total number of Sato's soldiers was only about 400. More than 100 people were killed at once, including more than 50 soldiers.  One wounded person already reduced the number by a quarter.

    Now more than a hundred people have to be assigned to take care of the wounded, and there are even fewer troops available for combat. This makes Major Sato extremely angry.

    But it¡¯s not enough not to take care of these wounded soldiers. First of all, they are not familiar with the terrain here. If these wounded soldiers are rashly left behind,Here, it is easy to be killed by the enemy.

    Secondly, leaving the wounded behind will have a great impact on morale. After all, we are all human beings. When we see our comrades being abandoned, we will naturally think of ourselves. This is human nature.

    However, when Major Sato ordered his men to move forward with the wounded, he heard a crisp gunshot from the surroundings after walking less than fifty meters!

    Then there was a shrill scream. A soldier was shot in the thigh and fell to the ground, letting out a heart-shaking scream.

    The surrounding Japanese soldiers immediately fell to the ground and shot back randomly in all directions. For a time, the entire Tiger Mountain area was filled with gunfire.

    However, Major Sato soon noticed something unusual. He found that it was his men who were shooting at this moment, and the opponent did not seem to fight back!

    "Sniper!"

    Major Sato was shocked. He realized that the other party might know that they were going to reinforce the town stronghold, so they laid so many mines on the road and also deployed snipers on the road.

    What kind of opponents are these? Why do they have so many methods, and why are they so terrifying!

    In view of this, Major Sato immediately ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time put the tank troops in front to clear the way and continue to advance.

    But even so, the snipers of the Chinese army still did not give up attacking the Japanese soldiers along the way. In less than ten minutes, Sato's troops were attacked 12 times, basically once every minute.

    Although the casualties caused by the opponent's snipers to Sato's troops were not very large, only 6 people were killed and 4 injured, which was not very heavy compared to a team of several hundred people.

    But the impact on the morale of the troops was fatal. The whole army was in a state of panic. As soon as they heard the sound of gunshots, they immediately crawled to the ground, and then fired randomly in all directions.

    After stopping and walking like this, we finally moved forward for about two kilometers, and finally saw the main position of the Chinese army.

    After seeing the blocking position of the defenders, Major Sato breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of being hit face to face with real swords and guns, but the cold-blooded tactics like before were really a headache.

    After carefully observing the surrounding terrain, Major Sato discovered that the opponent's position was located halfway up Tiger Mountain. From the hillside, one could overlook the road below. If Sato's troops wanted to cross the road and rush to the town base, they must defeat it.  The Chinese army in person.

    Knowing that he could not escape, and at the same time stimulated by what happened along the way, Major Sato immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and then launched a fierce attack on the Chinese army's positions!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
