More than ten kilometers north of Fengzhen, the position of the Eighth Route Army Wangjiaping, and several long trenches stretched for several kilometers. Wangjiaping is the only position north of Fengzhen that is suitable for defense. The terrain of the defensive position is dozens or hundreds of meters higher than the grassland in front. Outside the defensive position is a flat grassland with a wide vision. If the Japanese attacked from the grassland, there would be nothing to cover and would become a living target.

On the defensive position, Qian Long and Chu Tianming were together. The two were lying in the trenches and looking ahead with a telescope. There were several trenches in front of the trenches. The first line of defense was Qian Long's infantry regiment.

The first infantry regiment with rich experience was placed on the first line of defense, which was also Zhang Yunfei's intention. Several infantry regiments of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army were placed on the flanks of the position, Chu Tianming's Sixth Infantry Brigade placed a small number on the second line of defense, and the rest were basically placed on the last line of defense.

After watching for a long time, Qian Long said to Chu Tianming: "Old Chu, this time the Japanese dispatched a heavy artillery brigade. I wonder if our defensive position can withstand the bombardment of the Japanese heavy artillery."

"Old Qian, don't worry, since our brigade entered Feng Town, building the Wangjiaping defensive position has been one of our key tasks. We thousands of soldiers have built this defensive position for more than half a month. From the outside, it looks inconspicuous, but when we get into the trenches, we will find a difference.

Several defense lines of the entire position were reinforced. Anti-aircraft holes that could accommodate dozens of people were dug every few dozen or hundreds of meters. The anti-aircraft holes were reinforced with cement, and there were two or three meters of soil on it, which could basically withstand the bombardment of several rounds of heavy artillery."

This defensive position was built by Chu Tianming himself. As a top student who graduated from Huangpu, the entire defensive position is designed very scientifically, with foxgloves, firepower points, and condoms reasonably arranged.

After listening to Chu Tian's introduction, Qian Long felt a little relieved. The bombardment of heavy artillery was not a joke, it was too terrifying. The 136th Division had two heavy artillery regiments, equipped with 155mm howitzers, which showed great power in Xinkou and Taiyuan.

The two were chatting, when an Eighth Route Army correspondent came to report that the Japanese vanguard, the 1st Infantry Brigade of Abe Queshu was only three or four kilometers away from the position.

Chu Tianming held up his telescope and looked forward, and saw that there were really a large number of Japanese figures in the distance. Japanese in yellow uniforms looked particularly dazzling on the green grassland.

"Old Qian, the Japanese are really here."

Qian Long also held up the telescope, looked for a while, and said proudly: "Good here, the officers and soldiers of our Third Brigade have not killed the Japanese for a long time, and the soldiers are all so nervous."

The Japanese in front saw the huge Eighth Route Army defensive position in front of them and also slowed down the marching speed. At a distance of three thousand meters away from the Eighth Route Army's position, Abe Hirohiro chose a slightly higher place and ordered the Japanese soldiers to start setting up tents, set up radio stations, and build a command center.

Half an hour later, about a squadron of Japanese devils were dispersed, holding guns, and starting a tentative attack, with the purpose of finding out the deployment of troops and firepower points on the Eighth Route Army's positions.

The veterans in the first line of defense had long seen the Japanese's actions. They began to check the guns and ammunition in a hurry, and just took a few glances at the Japanese who were getting closer.

Some of the recruits in the second line of defense saw that the Japanese were only three or four hundred meters away from the first line of defense, but the soldiers in the first line of defense showed no signs of fire. They were nervous, and their hands holding guns were covered in sweat.

Fortunately, there were many veterans in the second line of defense. The veterans hurriedly comforted the recruits and asked everyone to be calm and watch the battle well, and watch the next wonderful performance of the veterans in the first line of defense.

When the Japanese were less than two hundred meters away from the first line of defense, the soldiers in the trench began to shoot the Japanese. Since the trench was flat in the first few hundred meters and the Japanese had no cover, the Japanese soon were completely suppressed by dense firepower, and casualties increased sharply. Within ten minutes of exchange between the two sides, all Japanese in a squadron were reimbursed.

Abe Hitomi, who was watching the battle from a distance, looked so angry that his face turned pale when he saw this scene. Before he could see the deployment and firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, a squadron disappeared.

In fact, this cannot be entirely because of the stupidity of Abe Queshu's command, but because of the lack of understanding and understanding of the 136th Division. He thought that the 136th Division was also equipped with single-shot rifles and a small number of machine guns. Unexpectedly, the 136th Division was all AK-47 rifles, and there were very few machine guns.

Such a tentative attack is always used in other Chinese troops. Once a tentative attack, all the firepower points of the Chinese team will be exposed. Then the Japanese will use artillery bombardment to knock out all the exposed firepower points of the Chinese team, and then charge on a large scale. The Chinese team that loses the support of the heavy firepower points will be difficult to resist the Japanese team's large-scale charge.

Unexpectedly, the method that was tried and done repeatedly in the past was defeated in front of the 136th Division today.

Seeing the attack failure, Abeji ordered with a sharp and frustrated order: "The Artillery Corps, shelling the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, the First Infantry Corps is ready to charge."

After a while, the Japanese artillery positions began to become busy. More than 20 Type 92 infantry artillery began to shell the Eighth Route Army positions. One round of artillery shells flew towards the first defensive position of the Eighth Route Army more than two thousand meters away with a sharp roar.

On the Eighth Route Army's position, he heard a sharp whistling sound from the air. The experienced Eighth Route Army soldiers knew that the Japanese had started shelling and drilled into the anti-aircraft artillery holes.

A series of 70 mm shells hit the Eighth Route Army's positions and exploded the mud all over the sky. The soldiers in the anti-cannon hole seemed calm and relaxed, and few people panicked.

Chu Tianming, who was watching the battle at a high point of the position, saw the Japanese starting shelling and said calmly to Qian Long: "Old Qian, look at the Japanese opposite are starting to waste shells."

In the distance, Abe Hitohisatt saw the spectacular artillery bombardment of his artillery corps. The Eighth Route Army positions opposite were filled with mud and smoke. He could basically no longer see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army. He said happily: "Yoxi, ten minutes later, stop the artillery bombardment, and the First Infantry Corps is ready to charge."

The Japanese's first infantry corps, more than 3,000 people also entered the attack position at this time. They just waited for the shelling to stop and wanted to rush to the position of the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese corps leader even began to smile and seemed full of confidence.

More than 3,000 Japanese soldiers who were preparing to charge also formed a dispersed formation, holding their Type 38 rifles, and would rush forward just by waiting for the command of their own regiment captain.
