After nightfall.
There was an explosion in the distance to the east, followed by the faint sound of gunfire that seemed to go on forever.
The soldiers and prisoners, who had safety ropes tied between their waists and legs, were grabbing the main rope and sliding down.
During the descent of dozens of meters, the bodies and heads of the captives, who had not undergone long-term training, hit the cliff from time to time.
The muffled sound was carried away by the mountain wind.
Finally I touched the knot, and the safety rope suddenly stopped working.
He immediately pulled out the grenade in mid-air as planned.
"Pull the fire..." A voice suddenly sounded.
Nine grenades were thrown into the darkness below where he could not see clearly.
Boom boom boom...
Nine grenades exploded in the valley almost simultaneously.
The safety rope was pushed down five or six meters almost at the same time.
Then, forty or fifty grenades fell from the sky on the ridge.
The landing point was within a radius of fifty meters away from where the soldiers were about to land.
The flashes of light made it impossible to see anything at all.
The smoke begins to billow!
The soldiers in mid-air could not dodge. Fortunately, most of them were hardly scratched by the shrapnel.
It's almost ten meters above the ground...
That guy Liu Yuanqing said that unless he was really unlucky, the fragments flying into the sky would generally not cause any harm!
The safety rope began to slide down so fast that the soldier hanging in mid-air almost seemed to be thrown directly by someone on the mountain ridge.
Fortunately, when we were almost at the bottom of the valley, the rope was finally pulled, and the body was painfully strangled, so we continued to go down slowly.
The feet finally hit the ground.
Regardless of whether you are standing firm or not, quickly untie the slipknot of the rope that goes around your waist and crotch and hangs on your lower abdomen.
Liu Yuanqing personally demonstrated and taught this method of tying...
It's just that the guy's leg was tied in a more complicated way because of his injured leg. It's said to be called a life-saving knot...
The blood vessel on the thigh was broken. According to common sense, it should be considered a serious injury!
He actually chose to be among the first to slide down the valley!
Liu Yuanqing's voice sounded in the darkness: "Don't panic, one group will immediately set up a defense line on the spot, and the second group will throw another wave of grenades to the outside..."
The valley is dark.
Lieutenant Jaiko suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Never encountered this situation before...
Before Tubalu came down, he threw a wave of grenades.
Then Tubal Road on the mountain ridge was lost again!
It's a bit like... using artillery fire to clear obstacles on the charge before attacking!
The commander of the Tubal Road "Special Agent Group" is really good at it!
However, all tricks are useless in front of the Imperial Warriors!
The lieutenant did not even immediately order the rifles and machine guns to fire.
Instead, he ordered the sentry to light the firewood prepared in advance in the valley.
The fire will illuminate the location of the Eighth Route.
In this way, the Tubal Road coming down will be completely exposed!
The warriors have bunkers and can kill these bastards one by one without any problem!
His previous plan was to wait for everyone on Tubal Road to come down from the mountain ridge, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
At this time, the lieutenant had already forgotten everything...
If the house leaks, there will definitely be continuous rain!
The mountain wind that was originally howling gently in the valley seemed to be slowly getting stronger.
Not long after, sand and rocks began to fly in the valley...
The mountain wind also began to howl...
The reason seems simple, the heat from the grenade explosion heats the air as it rises.
And the shock wave of the explosion just disrupted the air pressure balance in the valley...
The increasing mountain wind made the Japanese sentries who kept striking matches anxious!
The held and lit match only flashed for a moment, and then was blown out by the mountain wind.
Boom...boom...
One grenade after another fell from the sky...
One after another, the flashes of light exploded, overturning the devils who kept striking matches...
Two minutes have passed since the order to light the fire was given, and the fire still shows no sign of burning!
The lieutenant didn't hesitate anymore and immediately ordered: "Set flares!"
Another half minute passed.
Tom...
A bright spot finally climbed skyward in the valley.
After a while, the bright spot suddenly spread out into a ball of dazzling light.
It illuminates a radius of several hundred meters in the valley brightly.
Then, the light slowly fell.
The flares illuminated the cliff, which was very dangerous for the soldiers of the Ninth Company who were still in the air at this time.
If the Japanese start shooting at people in mid-air at this time, it will be equivalent to hitting a live target!
Sure enough, the enemy shooting started.
Bang...bang...bang...
The gunshots in the valley suddenly became intensive.
The shooting at the soldiers sliding down the mountain wall did not stop until the flares fell into the valley and disappeared.
There's glitter everywhere.
The flash seemed to still remain on the eyeballs, so that both parties were almost blind at this time.
The situation is favorable to the Eighth Route Army!
A half-arc position was hastily established near the cliff, with machine guns and shell guns pouring bullets outward.
More and more soldiers are descending from the mountain ridge.
As soon as he was in mid-air, he roughly saw the enemy's position. After untying the safety rope, he immediately lay down on the ground, shook the machine gun and suddenly pulled the trigger.
Directly engage in a shootout with the Japanese who are fighting back!
The grenades thrown by the Japanese flew towards the positions hastily established by the Eighth Route Army from time to time!
Several soldiers who slid to the bottom of the valley made no move. The soldiers waiting nearby couldn't care less. After tearing off the slip knot of the rope, they raised their rifles again, took aim at the flash of light not far away and immediately fired. .
Boom...boom...boom...
Another twenty or thirty grenades and grenades were thrown down from the cliff, and they were thrown directly at the Japanese position...
Then, the location of the Japs flashed one after another...
Many grenades were thrown too late and exploded in mid-air before they even hit the ground.
Shrapnel shot downward from the sky...
Hu Yi lay on the edge of the cliff, knocked the forty-eight-petal Japanese grenade cap in his hand on the stone, delayed it for two seconds, and then threw it far away based on his feeling.
It was the first time he experienced this kind of battle, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He shouted to the side: "Mule, hurry up and send most of the company sent to you down..."
Luo Fugui was alternating his hands, quickly pulling back the safety rope: "Don't worry, we've already gone down a platoon!"
"Li Xiang, after throwing this wave of grenades, prepare to go down immediately..."
"yes!"
After Hu Yi finished speaking, he didn't even have a safety rope attached to his body. He directly grabbed the main rope with both hands and slid down!
Seeing the battalion commander doing this, many veterans imitated his example, and even used the safety rope as a rappel rope and followed Hu Yi down...
There is no perfect rope, and on a cliff of forty or fifty meters high, if you lose your grip even once with both hands, you will definitely fall to pieces on the rocks...
Soon, most of the people who could move freely descended the cliff.
The patient with minor and serious injuries had to be strapped down with a safety harness and put down...
The speed immediately slowed down.
...
Luo Fugui kept saying: "Girl, why don't you get down quickly!"
"Then hurry up and tie the safety rope for me..." Xiao Hongying took the safety rope Luo Fugui had just pulled, wrapped it around her waist and crotch, and then tied a slip knot.
With his back to the valley, he warned: "Mules, as long as you are not on the edge of the valley, wherever there is fire, the hand grenade will greet you..."
"Do not worry..."
Xiao Hongying grabbed the main rope with both hands and disappeared under the moonlight on the edge of the cliff with a whoosh.
"Company commander, you go first, our bombardment team...it takes four people to hold you..."
"You... just pull it a little. I will grab the rope myself and go down..." Luo Fugui did not dare to pull the rope directly and slide down. He quickly wrapped the safety rope around his waist and crotch, and also warned: "Wait a minute. We will launch an assault on the enemy. You put down all the wounded and come down quickly. Also, remove the three ropes and leave the rest to the old bandits..."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I know what to do, please leave quickly..."
After sliding from the mountain ridge to the bottom of the valley, Hu Yi observed the situation.
Not far away, the enemy's firepower didn't seem to be very strong. He directly found Liu Yuanqing who was hiding behind a boulder that the enemy couldn't move: "Is the enemy's fire lit?"
"Hey, God opened his eyes. There was a gust of evil wind just now. No, it should be a gust of fairy wind. The little devil couldn't light the fire!"
"Have the Japs on both wings come up? Why don't you charge?"
"The casualties are too great. The Japanese are very cunning. They all hid behind the positions prepared in advance and threw grenades. They have made two sudden attacks and were beaten back..."
"We can't wait any longer. If reinforcements from the two wings of the Japanese arrive, none of us will be able to escape!"
Hu Yi just finished speaking.
Chug tug tug...
Not far away, four tongues of flames immediately began to flash on the Japs' position....
No need to think about it, the Japanese reinforcements on both wings are here!
Liu Yuanqing directly ordered: "Ten thousand tricks, hurry up and shoot off the Japanese machine gun for me!"
"I have knocked out four of them...but the Japanese machine guns always sound again..."
Da da da...
Hu Yi felt the machine gun trembling slightly on his shoulder, and a machine gun not far away instantly misfired.
Bahba...bahba...bahba...
Another machine gun misfired. Before Xiao Hongying reached the bottom, the holstered shell gun in her hand flashed with muzzle fire.
boom...
The third machine gun misfired...
"Come on..." Before the muted machine gun could fire again, Tian Sanqi's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness...
Immediately afterwards, the trajectory of Hu Yi's suppressed machine gun suddenly ripped towards the last Japanese machine gun position.
