The highest point of the mountain ridge is on the south slope.
It is almost two miles away from the Japanese machine gun position. Unless the Japanese deliberately raise the machine gun to shoot into the sky, the bullets will never reach here.
To avoid Japanese bombardment, a gentle slope with your back to the direction of Japanese bombardment is naturally a good place.
A gray figure lay lying on the edge.
As a reserve force, Luo Fugui Company, except for a platoon placed on guard in the west, most of the people were lying here looking north to watch the Japanese bombardment.
The atmosphere surrounded by Japanese soldiers was very depressing.
Li Xianglian guarded the southern cliff.
The Japs in the squadron to the south seemed to have no intention of attacking at all. They hid among the rocks on the ridge in the distance to prevent the people on the ridge from breaking out to the south.
Although there were not many soldiers left by the Japs, the ninth battalion wanted to break through to the south. After going down the path from the cliff, the first thing they faced was this group of Japs who had already occupied a favorable terrain.
Without a heavy firepower advantage, taking an offensive against the well-trained, well-equipped, and well-located Japs would not necessarily make it stand out even if the entire battalion was filled up.
By the same token, the Japs at the foot of the mountain ridge simply have no ability to attack on the mountain ridge which occupies a more favorable terrain.
In mountainous terrain, whoever defends will have an advantage!
Enemy bombardment from the northern attack continued.
Everyone knows that as soon as the artillery fire stops, the machine gun fires.
The next enemy infantry attack will be launched.
He Gensheng's busy wounded soldiers camp is not far south of the ridge.
Among the rocks and shrubs, more than a dozen stone graves were newly built, and the sacrificed soldiers were laid to rest on the sunny hillside.
There are not many stones on the mountain, so there is no way to build a grave for each of the fallen soldiers.
There are more than a dozen bodies lying among the rocks, their faces covered with military caps, their gray military uniforms mottled with dark red, and the dark red bandages on part of their bodies have dried up and turned black.
Clumps of bushes temporarily covered them, blocking the sunlight from the western sky.
The part of the sunlight that missed was once again mottled and golden on the military uniform.
The warriors who were still vigorous and vigorous in the morning are now separated from heaven and man.
The half-immortal was yelling at the prisoners to move rocks everywhere.
Judging from the situation of the sacrificed soldiers on the ground, it is estimated that they are preparing to build a large pavilion for the sacrificed soldiers...
Another stretcher was carried towards the bushes, and the red-eyed Xiao Hongying punched the stone next to her: "I'm so angry..."
Liu Yuanqing, who was leaning on the stone next to him, chatted with Xiao Hongying all the time.
He always felt that what this girl said was unreliable: "...You guys on the Eighth Route Army are really interesting. Can you, a girl, be the platoon leader?"
"We still have an eighteen-year-old leader!"
Even after bleeding a lot, Liu Yuanqing's voice was still full of energy. It seemed that he was in good condition: "Uh... you can really blow..."
"There's no point in lying to you..." Xiao Hongying suddenly returned to the previous topic: "Do you think that pouring water on the wounded Japs can really kill other Japs?"
"Aren't you the platoon leader? Don't tell me you don't even know about infectious diseases, right?"
"Tch, tuberculosis, leprosy... do you really think this platoon leader has no knowledge?" Platoon Leader Hongying stared at her big red eyes: "What the hell is Hu Lie La?"
"A kind of bacteria that is invisible to our eyes. The little devils specially researched it to deal with the harm to us. Once it spreads, it will be more terrifying than tuberculosis and leprosy..." Liu Yuanqing paused and said with a serious face: "You can say. ..More powerful than airplanes and cannons..."
"Great!" Xiao Hongying seemed to have forgotten the sacrificed soldiers. When she heard that there was something more powerful than airplanes and cannons, her eyes immediately turned into stars and she almost had snot bubbles coming out of her nose: "If all those Japs at the bottom of the mountain are dead, we have to How many cannons were captured..."
Seeing this person flip out like a book, that thing can kill someone at any time! Liu Yuanqing, who had black hair and thin hair, said: "Don't think so beautifully. It would be good if you can make one-third of the Japs in the north lose their combat effectiveness. There are military doctors in the Japs' team, so they won't kill many people..."
Xiao Hongying was discouraged: "Every extra death counts, what do you think...if we poison the water, will we be able to poison the Japanese at the bottom of the mountain as well?"
"Don't think about it. The stream is living water, and bacteria can't live long in it..." Liu Yuanqing rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, if you can convince Camp Commander Hu to pour the bacteria into the stream, I can do something about it! However, the people who will die more may be the people along the creek..."
"We can't do things like poisoning the people..."
"Let me tell you again, this is called bacteria, not poison..."
"Anyway, it's almost..."
"What's the same thing? They're completely different things!"
"Hey, you don't know how to operate?"
"First aid is enough, surgery is a matter for military doctors..."
"I said, after all, we are killing Japanese soldiers. What do you think of my platoon?"
"not so good."
"Why not?"
"First, your military discipline is lax. Second, the team lacks systematic training, and most of them can't even recognize a few characters. Third, there is a problem with the staffing of the team. People like old bandits can be Monitor..."
"Don't talk about me, how do you think you can be any better?" Not far away, Qi Laobang, who was leading a class in self-isolation, couldn't help but sneered.
"A bandit will always be a bandit, and he will follow whoever is more powerful..." Liu Yuanqing curled his lips.
"You know nothing. I have a white skin and a red heart when I surrender to the Japs. More than 40 Japs died at my hands..."
"You think you are a hero when you use unscrupulous conspiracy tactics?"
"It's better than taking refuge in grave diggers..."
"Commander Sun is digging the grave of feudal rule. At least he is dedicated to fighting the Japanese."
"Hey, then why don't you follow him and become a member of the National Salvation Army?"
"He surrendered to the Japanese and acted as an aide, so of course I won't play with him..."
...
The gunfire stopped.
In the smoke-filled position, neither the enemy nor ourselves could see each other.
The Japanese machine guns began to suppress them again.
The various groups of Japs were spreading out into one group. This time, the Japs learned to behave and stopped moving along the mountain road.
Engineers were clearing mines in the smoke ahead.
The infantry followed closely behind, approaching the south cautiously and step by step.
As long as we can attack the highest point of the mountain ridge two miles away before dark, the next step will be much easier. We can directly crush the Tubal Road on the mountain ridge into powder!
Hu Yi held up the telescope without giving any orders.
Obviously, the enemy is using the smoke to cover up and pressing forward step by step.
As long as we can hold the ridgeline position before the darkness, we can slip down the valley from the west side of the cliff.
As for what will happen next, no one can predict.
Most of the Japs have gone north, and there will definitely not be too many Japs in the valley to the west.
With a bullet base that is not inferior to that of the Japanese, and a large number of "automatic weapons" shell guns in the team, there should be no problem in breaking through the Japanese defense line in the west on a moonlit night.
...
On a ridge to the south.
Nearly a hundred tired blue soldiers were lying on their backs.
The colonel and battalion commander was holding up his binoculars and saw a large number of Japanese soldiers heading east.
On the ridge behind the Japanese troops, there were mortar bombardments and machine gun fire. It seemed that the intensity of the battle was definitely not small.
The adjutant frowned and analyzed: "...Listen to the sound of artillery and machine guns, at least one group of Japanese participated in the attack..."
"Have the people sent for reconnaissance come back?"
"Not so fast!" The adjutant shook his head, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: "Could it be that...the staff headquarters will be surrounded by Japanese soldiers on the mountain ridge?"
The colonel put down the telescope and frowned: "This is strange. Seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers left the battlefield and headed east, which means that the battle on the mountain ridge should be over soon..."
"Then what should we do now?"
The colonel thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "Turn on the radio immediately and ask the military department for instructions..."
