The discussion in the broken house was interrupted by the sudden sound of a machine gun, which came from the mountains not far to the west of their location.
The sound of Czech light machine guns still echoed in my ears.
"No, this doesn't sound like the sound of machine gunfire from an armored vehicle patrolling outside. It couldn't be... they opened fire in the mountains, right?"
"Damn it, they took action. Good luck fell on us this time. So what are we waiting for? Everyone, go back and assemble your troops immediately! Prepare for the attack!" The division commander was overjoyed.
Almost a minute later, another round of machine gunfire rang out in the mountains.
The generals who came out of the house dispersed like birds and beasts, and ran quickly to their respective troop stations.
At this time, flares suddenly shot out in the mountains, accompanied by sporadic rifle sounds, and then, the sound of intensive counterattack machine gun fire came from the mountains.
The sound of gunfire spread far in the mountains, and the sound of the third consecutive machine gun firing came again. It was completely different from the sound of burst machine gun fire.
It is correct to compare with the situation in the command.
Then there was more intensive gunfire, and then there was a burst of explosions. For some unknown reason, the sound of machine gunfire in the mountains stopped, and the random gunfire slowly became sparse.
On the plain, a team of nearly two thousand people launched an attack. No longer thinking about being discovered by the enemy during the attack, the people in front held rifles and machine guns and quickly marched into the mountains. The outer blockade was established by the security forces. Within ten minutes of opening fire at the temporary stronghold, a large black crowd broke open an opening, and then most of the black shadows rushed through the blockade and rushed directly to the Japanese gun tower at the mountain pass.
The blockades in other places were also attacked. There were many people attacking, but the intensity was much weaker. The blockade was broken, and the security forces knelt on the ground with their hands raised. They followed behind them with a big knife and slashed. The team with sharpened sticks, hoes, and tree forks took over the gap in the blockade, leaving some troops holding old sleeves to compete with the security forces reinforced from the north and south in the dark. At the outer blockade, fighting began Sticky.
"Company Commander, they are charging in the wrong direction!" Zhen Chong reported nervously with one arm hanging in one hand and a telescope held up in the other.
Hu Yi hummed and nodded. He had expected this situation to happen. The troops outside the mountain knew the location of the Japanese gun towers. Therefore, since they attacked, they would definitely attack in the direction of the Japanese gun tower strongholds.
If that were the case, the efforts of the Ninth Company would have been in vain. However, there were not many people in the Ninth Company. Although the security forces and the Japanese had discovered that there were people shooting out from the mountains, or firing machine guns continuously, they did not see anyone attacking outside. Therefore, it did not attract the attention of the Japanese commander.
Don't worry about the harassment from the Eighth Route Army outside the mountain. The armored vehicle next to the gun tower will make the attacking Tubal Road shed every last drop of blood!
A half-moon hung high in the starry night sky, with faint mountains on one side and dark plains on the other. At this time, the plains were constantly flashing with light.
More than two hundred figures, like a stream of water sliding down silently, climbed the rope and descended the west cliff. Then they gathered into a pool and slowly soaked towards the places where the fire was shining.
Among the rocks and bushes about 400 meters away, Wang Liujin waved his hand, and a person beside him quietly raised his body and ran back quickly with his waist bent.
Hu Yi was lying on the slope behind the earth and looking forward, when a panting soldier ran over.
"Report to Captain Hu that the Japanese on the mountain behind have descended from the cliff. When I came over, they were less than five miles away!"
Under the moonlight, I could barely make out the gun tower with four fires lit. The sound of killing outside was loud, and the dark crowd was advancing towards the gun tower.
Inside and outside the turret, the Japanese were running back and forth, nervously preparing, but not firing a single shot.
The ground outside the gun tower is barren, the troops outside the mountain are in place, and the first step of the plan is completed!
If they still attack the gun tower, it will be no different from the previous attacks, and they will only fail!
Hu Yi ignored the soldiers who came over to report, put the butt of the crooked machine gun on his shoulder, raised his body, and patted Chen Chong on the shoulder next to him: "Bring people over and stop the Japanese troops coming down the mountain!"
After saying that, he pressed the trigger, and thirty rounds of bullets slid from the magazine to the gun chamber. Because his butt was on fire, he ran out of the gun in a panic and ran towards the Japanese position outside the north turret.
The terrain is slightly higher than the gun tower, and bullets are flying towards a squad of Japanese soldiers from the south. They are searching southward to find out what is the cause of the sudden machine gun fire just now.
The bullets were screaming arrogantly, and the sentry on the top of the turret had a wide field of vision. As soon as he raised his head, he could clearly see the machine gun position with tongues of flames coming out, and he immediately shouted the bird song loudly down.
In fact, there was no need for him to shout. In the dark night, no one could see the muzzle flash from the shot.
"Commander, the machine gun fired again. It seems to be a crooked weapon!" the battlefield observer who looked nervously reported quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, another Czech sound came out. The distance between the two sides was only two or three miles. The machine gun was on the high ground, its muzzle pointed outside the mountain, and a large ball of flame appeared from the muzzle flash.
"Commander, what should we do? The place where the machine gun fired is not next to the Japanese turret. It is almost two miles away to the south. We have scouted it before and found that it is a small highland. Behind the highland is a cliff!" The staff officer next to him stood under the torch. Don't forget to look at the map.
"How many Japs are there on that high ground?"
"It seems not. When we attacked before, we planned to occupy that high ground and make a detour. They were all puppet troops! There was no less than one company, which occupied the advantageous location. We fought several times, but it was too far away from the Japanese gun towers, so we attacked several times later. , just don’t fight!”
"The division will not make arrangements like this for no reason. Order, leave one battalion to prevent the Japanese from rushing out, and the other personnel will turn to attack the puppet army position!" The division commander no longer considered it at all. Guns were fired in the mountains, maybe they knew something!
Hu Yi led Tang Dagou, mule and girl to crawl quietly on the ground towards the cliff. To be safe, Hu Yi did not dare to stay in one place for too long. The Japanese behind him were coming down from the cliff. Now he was attacked from three sides. You have to find a backing, but fortunately there are bushes and rocks everywhere in the mountains, so it is easy to find a cover in the dark.
The group of people had just crawled into a shallow pit, and asked the mule to quietly set up the machine gun and point it southward in the direction of the Japanese coming down the mountain, while they themselves pointed the machine gun northward in the direction of the Japanese gun tower.
Not long after, a lighting round was fired from the direction of the Japanese gun tower, followed by another, and several mortar shells landed at the spot where Hu Yi had just fired, turning the night upside down.
The sounds of attacking and killing outside were rushing towards the security army position. The security army company commander looked at the dark crowd and the eight soldiers who occasionally fired while running. How many of them were there? He was dumbfounded and forgot to give the shooting order.
The Eighth Route Army occupied the small high ground guarded by the security forces without spending a few bullets!
The security army position guarding the south wing of the fort was lost and they all ran north. They only wanted to go to the Japanese artillery tower, which was a mile away from the cliffs of the mountain. It happened to be the entrance to the mountain between the two mountains. , there are armored vehicles there, maybe, that’s where it’s safe!
