Motegi Mae Zhizhu first heard the sound of gunfire coming from Panlong Ridge, and judged that Yamaoka Jie must have encountered the main force of the 117th Brigade, and he was happy, so he drove all the officers and soldiers to cross the front beam of Monkey Head Ditch, and a brigade waited for an opportunity to attack on Panlong Ridge, and a brigade attacked inside along Daojiagou, and the machine gun squadron directly under him was in the center to supervise. Why is this ditch called Taoist ditch, because there is a Taoist temple cultivated by the ancients in Baishanzi Village, so this ditch is called Taoist ditch. Lin Qingshan, commander of the 235th Regiment, Xu Xiazhi, deputy of the regiment, Zeng Kuailin, chief of staff, and other commanders drove to Baishanzi Village on the afternoon of 5 March.

Originally, Baishanzi Village was called Baishanzi Village because the lizi in the west of the village were white. The villagers of Baishanzi Village don't know when the Taoist temple was built, anyway, it has been around since ancient times. The Taoist temple is mainly dedicated to the eight immortals, the members of the academy entered the Taoist temple, and after obtaining the consent of the old Tao, they cleaned up the dust that had accumulated on the statue for many years, and the old Taoist was very willing to listen to them talk about the truth of resistance against Japan.

Regiment Commander Lin was also very moved when he saw these student soldiers busy with each other, so he ordered the officers and men to follow the student soldiers to visit and mobilize the masses when they were idle. On the morning of March 7, Yamaoka Jie led a brigade to kill in Jiagou. The newly cleaned Taoist temple, which was originally used as the regimental headquarters, had to be returned to the old Taoist temple so as not to destroy the Taoist temple by artillery fire.

The devils occupied Daojiagou, and the defenders had no choice but to go to Panlongling. The old Taoist is called Zhang Sidao, the road number is Zhengyi, and he has debuted for many years. Although he made his debut, he read poetry and books. He was very reluctant to see that the benevolent and righteous officers and soldiers were going to leave, and only then did he begin to speak, because he understood the severity of the anti-Japanese resistance. He was born in Zhuji, Zhejiang, and his ancestors were almost wiped out by pirates, and he became a monk for this reason. Although he escaped into the empty door, he did not forget the deep hatred in the sea of blood, in his limited belongings, Qi Jiguang's complete biography is the only book. Judging from the degree of wear and tear of the book, he has read it many times, and his deep hatred for the Japanese has always been remembered in his heart.

The troops wanted to go up the mountain, he was very reluctant, and finally gave the ten idle pots in the view to the soldiers, saying that the gun could protect his head when he came. The soldiers saw that the pot could still cook, so they brought it. He knew too well the ruthlessness and inhumanity of the Japanese pirates, and he also left the Taoist temple and followed the troops up the mountain. When Yamaoka Jie arrived at Baishanzi Village, he saw the soldiers on the hill and ordered the grenadiers to fire at the mountain. Lao Dao told the soldier holding the pot on Baishanzi to advance five steps and then squat; With the next shot, take five steps back and crouch down again, and put the pot on your head......

The shrapnel of the shell collapsed on the pan and flew away again. It turned out that this advance and retreat were all the formations of the Qi family's army, and they would not be used for decades if they were not understood. There were dead and wounded in other positions, and in some places there were more dead and wounded than devils. Yamaoka saw that several people on the mountain were holding iron pots, and he didn't know what to do, so he sent a report to Motegi in Japanese. As a result, the iron pot is translated in cipher to generally refer to the head of the regiment, and Motegi looked at Yamaoka and said that there were more than a dozen regiment commanders on the mountain, and there must be no doubt that they would be the main force. With confidence, he urged the main forces to go in.

The 235th Regiment was in Panlongling for more than a day, and the mountains dug were full of trenches, and the loess flowed down the mountain, covering all the grass, and the devils could not go up easily, it was too slippery. After all, devils are devils, ghosts, they go far away, and then climb up. The defenders still have a condescending advantage, and no matter how good the guns are, they can knock the devils down the mountain. Both sides have been circling and paying the price of blood.

Motegi went in along the Taoist ditch, attacked ten miles, and finally entered the Taoist temple to rest. Yamaoka Jie was covered in dirt and sweat and came to report. Motegi asked, "Yamaoka-kun, didn't you say that the defenders on the mountain had ten regimental commanders?" I don't think there are so many soldiers......" Yamaoka Jie understood for a long time, and said: "General, I don't mean that there are ten regiment commanders, I mean that the defenders on the mountain have ten iron pots......"

Motegi was very surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself, if we have attacked so far, isn't it the main force of the defenders? The matter has come to this point, it is not the main force, and it has to be attacked. He was still thinking about it, and the gunshots on the mountain sounded like one. The defenders all occupied the mountain, and the devils were all in the ravine, firing guns up and down, and the effect was complete. The defenders fired a volley of guns from Baishanzi for a while, and when the devils found the defensive terrain, they laid down a platoon of guns in three bends......

Yamaoka Kiyoshi went to command everywhere, and later called Motegi and proposed that the defenders occupy the West Valley, so why don't we seize the East Valley. Motegi had no choice but to allow it, and Yamaoka drove the brigade he led to go around to Toudao Bay and seize the East Valley. At this time, the telescope was effective, and he saw that the western mountain was full of fortifications. There were not so many defenders, and they moved to this hill to fight, and then to that hill, as if they were playing. Yamaoka was so angry that he ordered the grenadiers to shoot from across the mountain. As soon as a few shots were fired, the defenders were like clouds over the mountains, and they drifted higher into the valley.

Motegi was a little proud when he saw that the defenders were still being driven away. He calculated that the 17th Wing he brought with him had three brigades, and due to the fact that the operation had been reduced again, some brigades had less than 700 people, and most of them did not exceed 900, and with the heavy machine gun squadron, excluding logistics, there would be no more than 2,500 people in total. Despite this, there were still more than the defenders.

The 235th Regiment has suffered a great attrition, and there has been no recent reformation of the troops, and in the first battle of Huajiagou, 400 wounded were released at once, all of whom were recuperating in the field hospital. On Panlong Ridge, enough for 1,500 people is good.

The devil relied on a first-class weapon configuration, a trinity of rifles, machine guns and grenadiers, as long as he exchanged fire with the defenders on the valley, the defenders were slow to hide and were immediately disabled. But they also felt that the defenders were a learning and improving force, and most of their marksmanship was close to being first-class. Especially today's style of play, it is a kind of play that you can't touch him, he suddenly pokes his head out to hit you, you just find a favorable terrain to fight back, and he is gone. Or you shoot at this valley and the valley behind you suddenly gives you a few shots.

Later, the defenders seemed to be conserving bullets and not firing a single shot. The devil was tired of coping with it below, and he could hear the defenders above laughing from time to time. I've never encountered such a war, and I can't help but laugh. It's the laughter of two kingdoms, for one purpose, echoing in the sound of gunfire. Later, as soon as Yamaoka Jie went up to the East Valley, there were fewer devils in the ditch. Even though the East Valley was much lower than Panlong Ridge, they had grenadiers, which made the defenders drift to a higher place. Motegi felt a little less stressed, and he still admired Yamaoka Jie.

Brigade Commander Ding pushed Jia Congliang back with a few words, but he could see that this kid was very stubborn, and he was still working hard. Brigade Commander Ding saw that it was almost noon and the gunfire on Panlong Ridge was slow for a while, so he called over and asked about the situation on the battlefield. Lin Qingshan reported: "The devils grabbed the East Valley and used their grenadiers to shoot west through the ditch, and at first our troops suffered continuous casualties. We had to fight and go, it seems that this method can really be used......" Brigade Commander Ding smiled and said, "That was proposed by Director Han, can it not work?" Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that we go from the top beam of the tomb to Huajiagou, isn't it just to fight and walk? However, it was a big stride; Today, you are going around with Motegi from hill to mountain, and you have to take small strides ......."

Deputy Brigade Commander Ji returned to the war room at some point, and said with a smile on the side: "Drag them down, you can retreat from the west side of Panlong Ridge......" Jia Congliang was also very interested on the side, deeply affected by the conversation and laughter of the two commanders, and watched them laugh appreciatively. He also interjected: "This is playing hide and seek with devils, this is not the way of fighting in the regular army." Brigade Commander Ding said: "What is the way the regular army plays, position to position, artillery to artillery?" Do we have a cannon? ”

Jia Congliang said with a stitch: "Commander Sun took the cannon away and didn't leave you a single cannon, why didn't you withdraw it?" Brigade Commander Ding and Deputy Brigade Commander Ji looked at him, very speechless, and they were silent. Brigade Commander Ding couldn't survive and went to the main room. Jia Congliang poured two glasses of water, gave one to Deputy Brigade Commander Ji, and kept one for himself, and said, "I know that you are wary of me, and I understand this. However, I am responsible for the mission of the party-state, and I have done it as a last resort, and I hope you will understand. ”

Ji Zhanwen disdained to talk to him at first, and then when he thought about it, why bother, he chatted with him without a match. Jia Congliang did not miss any opportunity to talk, and when he saw how far away the staff secretaries were, they were all busy, so he told him what he had just said to Brigade Commander Ding. He swore solemnly: "I can only stand with the Red Elements, but I can also see that in these days of bloody battles, Brigade Commander Ding has developed a continuous friendship with them. ”

He also paid attention to Deputy Brigade Commander Ji, and at the same time, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji was silent, and he was also watching what he said next. He changed his tone, pretended to be relaxed and said: "If our brigade department sends them out of the country as a gift, I will be responsible for having someone receive them in Chengde." As soon as they leave, this is a matter for the two of you, and the anti-Japanese resistance is not mixed with red, and the retreat is only in the hands of the two of you. As for the retreat, you have carried out the decision of the party-state; As for the resistance against Japan, no matter whether you win or lose, you are all great heroes. As long as you return to the enclosure boundary, I will ask Boss Dai to go to President Jiang and ask you for the establishment of a division or army. At that time, with your talent, it will be immeasurable to rise to the high position of military commander......"

He said it was a bit big, too good to blow. Deputy Brigade Commander Ji fell into deep thought, China's warlords are in a scuffle, who is in charge of the ups and downs, is it not clear all these years? No matter how big an official is, what's the use? Life, ambitions, all in vain. Isn't Commander Sun a military commander? How has he been doing in this half of his life? Now, the country is ruined and foreign enemies are invading...... Director Han is right, people defend themselves, and families fight for themselves; The family and country are gone, what is the use of being promoted and getting rich? He has always had an idea to ask Director Han, do you want people like us...... If......

Brigade Commander Ding came in from outside, interrupting their conversation and Deputy Brigade Commander Ji's musings. The phone rang again, it was Chu Zhenhu calling, the lineman picked it up, Brigade Commander Ding grabbed the phone, and said: "The Panlongling side just attracted Motegi over, and the real battle is in the north." You should hold your troops for the first time, lest Motegi become suspicious and return halfway. When the fight starts on this side of Fangshengou, the brigade headquarters will notify you, and it is not too late to attack. Then you will cut off their supply lines, so that they will not be able to see each other......"

Motegi noticed that the defenders were on top of the beam, and wondered what the hell were they doing. Yamaoka Jie called, exaggerating the role of fighting tigers across the mountains. At this time, Ono Tataro called and said, "General Motegi, here in the house body, the defenders are attacking me, do you want to chase or not?" Before Ono had finished speaking, the phone signal had been cut off.

Motegi called him again and said, "Ono-kun, how many garrisons do you have there?" Ono said: "The warriors of the empire have been greatly impatient, Ono's three major teams have been transferred by me, and the captain of the Black Sky has already swung his army in......"
