In addition to these mysteries, what really reassures everyone is the minefield arranged by Zhou Cheng on the battlefield.

Whether it was the previous National Salvation Army or the adapted National Salvation Army, they all obtained a large number of landmines from the war zone. Most of them have reached the current National Salvation Army, and all of them have more than 1,800.

This is a powerful weapon to kill Japanese devils. It is a waste to keep piled in the warehouse. Even if two mines kill only one Japanese and puppet army, they can help themselves kill nearly a thousand Japanese devils.

In addition to allowing the attacking troops to use a large number of mines to attack the Japanese, Zhou Cheng specially took 500 mines to lay them on the battlefield in front of him.

The trenches are most likely to be hit by Japanese artillery fire. Without arrangement, landmines are almost everywhere in the area fifty meters away from the trenches.

If the Japanese did not clear these mines in advance and launched an attack under the cover of artillery fire, even if the defenders at the position did not emerge from the anti-aircraft hole, the mines between fifty meters and one hundred meters in front of the light array would be enough for them to drink a pot of mines.

Of course, the Japanese can also choose to attack while cleaning mines. However, in this way, the engineers who clear the mines will become living targets, and only one or two sharpshooters can kill them all.

There is another way: directly detonating landmines with shells is feasible, but it will cost a lot of shells.

The artillery shells in the hands of the Japanese were not endless. After dividing some of the mines, fewer were used on the National Salvation Army, which greatly reduced the casualties of the troops.

Of course, if the Japanese were cruel enough, there was a more labor-saving way to crack the mine positions: send troops around the battlefield to capture the common people and livestock, let them rush in front of the attacking troops and detonate the mines.

In response to this point, Zhou Cheng started preparing in the morning.

After Huang Hu sent the news that the Japanese were preparing to take the people hostage, Zhou Cheng immediately sent troops to transfer all the people within ten kilometers of the surrounding area into the mountain. Those who did not want to enter the mountain were forced to enter the mountain!

Even if the Japanese want to do this, they can't find anyone.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng hoped that they would go around to find people, and then the National Salvation Army would have a good chance to defeat them one by one.

No one could imagine the last mystery, and it would not sound to it.

The construction of the castle requires a large number of stones, which are all seen by the stonemason bit by bit. After making enough stones, there were five large trucks of gravel knocked down by the stonemason.

The original idea was to throw it away. When Zhou Cheng saw it, he had an idea and buried half of the gravel and mines together to increase the lethality of the mines. Half of the gravel was thrown on the path of the Japanese's attack.

It doesn't seem useful. If the Japanese attacked here and the shells were hit, the gravel on the ground would definitely be blown away, greatly increasing the lethality of the shells.

"Boom...Woooo...Woooooo...Woooooo..."

Suddenly, a series of more dense explosions and screams sounded on the battlefield, awakening everyone in their contemplation.

When I looked up, I saw six balls of black smoke rising from the first line of defense.

"Boom boom boom..."

Before everyone could react quickly, another explosion sounded on the battlefield, and more than ten slightly smaller black smoke rose among the six already rising black smoke.

Then all kinds of explosions did not stop, black smoke kept rising on the battlefield, and soil and logs were constantly blown away...

In less than a minute, the entire trench was filled with smoke, and I couldn't see my five fingers.

Yuan Shushan didn't know the mystery on the position. Seeing the Japanese cannon fire so fiercely, his eyebrows immediately twisted into a big Sichuan character.

Zhou Cheng and others' expressions were very calm.

There are anti-aircraft holes on the position. Unless there are shells that hit the hole, the soldiers hiding inside will not be harmed.

The seemingly violent artillery fire, because there are no specific targets to shoot, the shells are all aimlessly smashed, and at most some surface positions are destroyed, and the threat is very limited.

Yuan Shushan wanted to speak several times, but the expressions on Zhou Cheng and others' faces were too calm. He immediately realized that his worries were unnecessary and had to swallow them back if they had already reached the mouth.

Then a series of questions popped up in my mind, and I really wanted to know where the confidence of these people around me came from? The mystery on the position is so powerful? Isn’t even afraid of such fierce artillery fire from the Japanese?

No one helped him solve these questions, because the Japanese army that had blown up the first line of defense had already begun to blow up the second line of defense, and the artillery fire was also very fierce, which scared Zhou Cheng into a cold sweat. He thought the Japanese really wanted to launch a full-scale attack before dark.

Fortunately, the offensive troops did not appear until the Japanese artillery fire extended to the third blocking position.

"Commander! The Japanese seem to be camping behind!" Tang Yufeng reminded.

Zhou Cheng's eyes immediately crossed the third line of defense, which was continuous with artillery fire, and looked at the main Japanese army two kilometers away.

On a high ground not far from the battlefield, hundreds of Japanese were setting up tents, and many Japanese were digging trenches around the high ground and building machine gun positions...

Not long after, three huge tents appeared on the high ground, and heavy machine guns were also set up on the simple machine gun positions. The machine gunner half-squatted in the bunker and was ready for battle.

Once the shelling stopped, except for a strengthening squadron who was still staying on the spot to dig trenches and was in a stance to confront the front line of the National Salvation Army, all the other troops retreated near the highlands, and finally surrounded the highlands tightly with the squadrons.

After Zhou Cheng completely controlled the troops through cadre rotation, Li Honghui realized that he would never have the chance to control military power in the national rescue army.

Without thoughts, people become calmer.

From then on, unless there are tasks that must be completed on the top, Li Honghui stayed in the headquarters and worked as a conscientious deputy commander, giving Zhou Cheng any advice and completing some not particularly important tasks.

Over time, Zhou Cheng gradually began to accept Li Honghui. The most direct impact brought by Li Honghui was that Li Honghui had some rights in the National Salvation Army. After encountering things, he could discuss them with Zhou Cheng, and no longer be excluded from the core level of the National Salvation Army as before.

He immediately shouted: "Commander, you are right, the Japanese really don't plan to attack."

"The shelling now must be to vent our anger. The Sixth Company beat them all the way, and the leader of the team was another major Japanese general. It must be very frustrating and wanted to teach us a lesson."

"If they knew that this shelling was not only blown up some surface positions, they might not even have a soldier from the National Savior Army. They would definitely be so angry that they vomited blood and would have no appetite for dinner at night!"

Zhou Cheng nodded: "I don't know if the Japanese Brigade Commander will vomit blood when he is angry, but they will definitely not have a good sleep tonight!"

"It's just a rude thing to come without being rude. The Japanese came up and gave us such a big gift. We will return it tonight no matter what, so that the Japanese can see the hospitality of our National Salvation Army, and let them see the true strength of our National Salvation Army!"

As he said the last sentence, a killing intention flashed quickly on Zhou Cheng's face.

Tang Yufeng's eyes lit up and he immediately couldn't help it: "Commander, you want to attack the Japanese devils at night!"

Zhou Cheng refused to comment: "The Japanese have been traveling for a day and must be very tired. They will sleep very heavily at night. This is an excellent opportunity for us to launch a night attack. It would be a pity to miss it."

"And the attackers are all Japanese devils, and there are no puppet troops. As long as we achieve results tonight, no matter how many, they will die in the end. The pressure will be less when facing them tomorrow, so we must not miss the night attack tonight."

"The reconnaissance company is dispatched to solve the military distribution of the Japanese main force in the shortest time. It would be even better if they could also figure out their light and dark posts."

"At 8 o'clock in the evening, all the cadres above the battalion went to the headquarters for a meeting, and specifically arranged the night attack mission tonight!"

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the entire Japanese station became quiet.

The bonfires everywhere were filled with Japanese soldiers, holding rifles in their arms, three or four people snuggling together, and falling asleep in a naive manner.

A patrol team of ten people kept passing through the garrison. Faced with the sleepiness that kept striking in my heart, everyone forced themselves to stare at the surroundings with a vigilant look on their faces.

But they were too tired. As they walked, their eyes narrowed unconsciously, but the steps on their feet did not stop. They patrolled the resident like a walking corpse, and their vigilance became worse and worse.

The machine gun positions piled up with more than a dozen sandbags were scattered around the base. In addition to the machine gun positions on the high ground, the machine gun positions that were more like the guard positions were equipped with crooked handles. Each crooked handle was equipped with three machine gunners and ammunition hands, all of which were backed by the sandbags and sleeping.

There were three riflemen guarding the position. Except for one rifleman who kept sleepy and continued to stare at the surroundings, the remaining two riflemen were also resting.

After passing these machine gun positions, there is the territory of the guard post outside.

There is a sentry space a few dozen meters away, and some are clear, and you can see it clearly even if you are dozens of meters away.

Some are secret whistles and you have to walk up to find out.

Usually, these posts will not exceed two hundred meters far from the base. Tonight, because the brigade commander was at the base and specifically required the deployment of twice the force of patrol and guards, the range of the post was twice as wide as usual. The most biased post was 500 meters away from the base, which means that the enemy would be discovered before the enemy was close to the base.

Perhaps God blesses the National Saving Army, and there is no moonlight tonight, and it is dark everywhere.

Because the Japanese station was burning a large number of bonfires, Zhou Cheng, who was hiding one kilometer away, could see the Japanese moves every move, but the Japanese could not find the figure of the National Salvation Army.

"Start the attack!" Zhou Cheng ordered with anticipation!

"Boom boom boom... wuuu... rumble..."

A few seconds later, the dull cannon sounded on a high ground not far from Zhoucheng, and then a sharp scream came from the sky. After another two or three seconds, a string of flames suddenly splashed out from the east of the Japanese station. Then, the violent explosion sounded to Zhoucheng's ears.

There were Japanese soldiers stationed in an infantry squadron, with nearly twenty bonfires scattered inside, and there were about ten soldiers sitting around each bonfire.

Six shells fell from the sky and hit one of the bonfires.

In the splashing flames, the wood with a raging fire was instantly blown up and flew out around.

The Japanese living around were the first to be attacked. Some were attacked by fragments, and some were hit by wood flying out of the bonfire... screamed in pain!
