Chapter XXVII

The bombing of the planes was followed by artillery bombardment, and after the artillery bombardment, there was an infantry charge, which basically became the standard routine of the Japanese attack. After Ren Laifeng heard the shouts of the devil coming up, he jumped up reflexively, picked up the telescope and looked down the mountain. The hillside is densely crawled with devils like ants, which makes people a little dizzy to watch.

"Prepare for battle!" Ren Laifeng subconsciously shouted, and there was a "sparse" sound of pulling the bolt around him, and the eyes of the soldiers were all fixed on the devils on the hillside.

"Let's fight!" The big man put his finger on the trigger, his face nervous and excited.

"Wait a minute, wait until the devil gets closer before fighting!"

"Oh." The big man agreed, and his mood cooled down a little. However, the tension and excitement did not go away.

Ren Laifeng stared at the approaching devils, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters. "Smack! Bang Bang Bang! "Shots rang out on the left flank positions. Ren Laifeng had no choice but to order the gun, and the big man held the gun and let it go.

Ren Laifeng and Huang Tian only fired two shots each before stopping. The devil had lost a few corpses and had already retreated, and the possibility of hitting such a long distance was very small. Except for a super shooter like Fu Erchong, who may still hit, he is not even sure of Ren Laifeng, let alone others. It's just a matter of having fun throwing guns at this point.

"Herald, go and inform the 1st and 2nd Companies and the Independent Brigade, I will shoot the first shot. I don't shoot, no one is allowed to shoot first! ”

"Yes!" Several heralds agreed in unison, and ran to the various positions to give orders.

Half an hour later, the shelling came again as promised, and the recruits were less panicked when they were hidden. This battle of Wangfu Mountain, like countless battles in Chinese history, saw the warriors quickly mature on the battlefield of blood and fire. As long as they survive the end of the war, they can completely end their careers as recruits and become seasoned veterans.

The duration of this shelling was almost the same as the last one, but the casualties were much smaller than the last one, because the vast majority of the fighters had already mastered the art of concealment. Enemy shells can take their lives, but they can no longer disturb their minds.

After the shelling, it was still a charge. The devil's mountaineering formation is more scattered than the previous row. What is certain is that if our army still shoots from a distance of 150 meters like last time, it will definitely be able to shoot fewer enemies than last time. Fortunately, Ren Laifeng found the problem in time and made countermeasures.

The devil is again in range. Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, seventy meters. Ren Laifeng still didn't fire the first shot. The hillside was quiet enough to hear the rustling footsteps of devils. Sixty meters! The devil's face is already clearly visible. Fifty meters! Ren Laifeng pulled the trigger, "Smack!" "One shot killed the leader of the devil detachment in front of him with a plaster flag on the barrel.

Gunshots rang out from various positions on Wangfu Mountain, and wisps of light blue gunpowder smoke drifted into the blue sky with the wind. The machine guns sang merrily, and the soldiers poured bullets to their heart's content. The devils resisted for ten minutes, and then fled back in embarrassment. This time, no less than fifty corpses were left on the hillside, which can be described as a brilliant victory!

After a short break, the devils began shelling again. And so round after round, shelling, charging, retreating, shelling, charging again, retreating again. The devil is like Hailang, charging every once in a while, charging every other moment, as if he never knows fatigue. Ren Laifeng knew that the devil was fighting with him for perseverance, but he didn't want to fight with the devil so stupidly.

Although the phrase perseverance to the end is victory represents the truth most of the time, it is obviously different from the best answer in Ren Laifeng's heart that whoever persists longer and who can win. Of course, it is not wrong to change to other conventional combat units to fight like this, but Ren Laifeng is leading the Flying Tiger Battalion, so he can't fight in the way of conventional warfare.

When the Flying Tiger Company was first established, Sun Tongxuan told Ren Laifeng that the main tasks of his unit were sneak attacks, assassinations and reconnaissance. In a conventional war, Mr. Sun has three divisions under his command, and any division pulled out is stronger than the Flying Tiger Battalion. Now Ren Laifeng led his troops to occupy the mountain and fight an offensive and defensive battle with the devils, which can be said to be attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings!

Change tactics? How to change? Ren Laifeng's eyes rolled, and he had a rough outline in his heart. When it was getting late, he called the three company commanders together again.

"Now I have something to tell you." Ren Laifeng didn't go around in circles, and went directly to the topic after the opening sentence, "I plan to lead the troops down the mountain." ”

Coax! As soon as Ren Laifeng's words were finished, the three people present suddenly became chaotic. Don't look at the small number of people, the scene of three people talking at the same time still shocks the audience. As a result of the three of them talking together, they could only hear the buzzing sound, and they couldn't hear the words at all.

"Stop!" Ren Laifeng roared, and the three of them all stopped. "I'm not asking you to have an opinion, I'm just telling you that I'm going to lead the troops down the mountain. Please don't get excited for a while. Ren Laifeng saw that the three of them didn't interject, and he was quite satisfied. This time I will lead three companies and leave one company on the mountain. As for which company goes and which one stays, now draw lots. Whoever is caught will be counted, and whoever is caught and left will not regret it. ”

This is also a move that cannot be helped. Although it was dangerous to descend the mountain, it was still possible for three companies to act together. Although it was relatively safe to stay in the fortifications on the mountain, only one company was lonely after all, and it was impossible to say which side was safer. Who to let go and who to stay, Ren Laifeng was very entangled in his heart, so he simply grabbed the lot. It's not nice to say, but it's the fairest thing to do. Everyone has the same chances, and it's pure luck to catch it.

Ren Laifeng tore three pieces of paper, and was about to write on them when Gu Dafeng spoke, "No need to draw lots." We stayed behind, and you two went down the mountain with the battalion commander. When I was in Jining, I guarded the city gate alone, and we had experience. As long as the battalion commander still platoons me with machine guns and small guns like last time, I will stay and watch the house! ”

"Omine!" Although it is not necessarily bad to stay, Fu Erchong and Li Lishan still want to express their gratitude to Gu Dafeng. If there is no one to take the initiative to ask for help. At this time, all three of them have already begun to draw lots.

Ren Laifeng didn't have so many feelings, and it would be delayed for a few minutes to draw lots, since it was better to decide the personnel without drawing lots. "Lao Fu and Brother Li will go back to rectify the troops now. Leave the big mine on the mountain and be careful. Machine guns and small cannons, I left you left. Don't hold on when you can't hold on, and withdraw if you can't! ”

"Yes!" The three of them agreed in unison, saluted at the same time, and Fu Erchong and Li Lishan turned around and left. Ren Laifeng explained a few precautions to Gu Dafeng, which was nothing more than how to defend and how to retreat. He then gathered his troops and prepared to descend the mountain.
