The Flying Tiger Battalion suffered a setback in the first battle, and the soldiers were defeated. The only thing to be thankful for www.biquge.info is that the battalion commander Li Yunlong's car is at the back and did not suppress the mine, which is also a blessing in misfortune. The Flying Tiger Battalion was defeated, and Xiao Qingfa immediately ordered the infantry brigade of the Temporary Third Division to go up one to replace the Flying Tiger Battalion to play the vanguard.

Xiao Qingfa originally thought that the chariot would not pass, and it would be replaced by a single infantry, so it would be right to be careful, right? I didn't expect the infantry to be able to dodge the devil's minefield! Running at the front, he stepped on the mine and hit the mine, so that the explosion was scattered, and there were casualties. Xiao Qingfa didn't dare to pass. Knowing that there is a minefield of devils in front of him, if he fills it with human lives, it will be an idiot.

Mobilize sappers to go up and clear mines! For the time being, the Third Division has sappers, but there are not many who can clear mines. A few sappers who knew how to clear mines were sent in, and they did clear some mines. However, the number of sappers is too small, and there are many mines planted by the devils, so the progress of the demining work of the sappers is relatively slow.

There is a way to be better than no way, Xiao Qingfa is waiting patiently. One day, two days, three days, three days in a row, after the efforts of the sappers who forgot their lives, finally discharged a safe passage. But these sappers were either because they were coldly shot by the devils, or they accidentally triggered the mines, and they were all lost by the moment the passage was discharged.

With two seriously wounded and six killed, it is impossible for the deminers of the Third Division to be left in the short term. Don't worry about the gloomy fate of the deminers, since the passage is there, Xiao Qingfa immediately organized the troops to advance along the passage!

The evil Japanese devils are cruel and cunning, and their means are more than a minefield. In addition to laying a large number of mines, the devils also laid countless shooting fortifications and snipers on the mountain. Most of the shooting fortifications are not even bunkers, they are just digging a bunker or building a few rocks and racking machine guns near the road they must pass. As soon as our troops pass by, the devil's machine guns will immediately fire head-on!

Our attacking forces will either send Demomen or sharpshooters over, and it will not be too much trouble to kill the enemy who stands in the way. But it's not a waste of time! Every time a few people die, and another half an hour is delayed, the devil has done so many light and dark fortifications, when do you want to get it through the dustpan mountain?

Xiao Qingfa fed back the difficulties to Ren Laifeng. Ren Laifeng once sent Zhang Chao to fly a plane to bomb. As a result, Zhang Chao drove the plane around the sky twice and went back. The terrain of the dustpan mountain is complicated, and the enemy and our armies cannot tell who is who is who, so he has no way to bomb accurately.

If the Air Force can't blow it up, then use the infantry to gnaw slowly. It's not that simple to gnaw slowly. At first, although the progress was slow and there were frequent casualties, it always kept moving forward, but then it was not good. Halfway through Dustpan Mountain, he encountered a problem, and the devils had built a large cross-blocking position in this place. Our army can't get through!

The devil seems to be determined to stop our army here this time, no matter how much Xiao Qingfa sends troops to rush up and how he adjusts the artillery bombardment, the devil just won't retreat! As long as there are many casualties on a certain position, the next echelon of the devil will be replenished immediately!

Xiao Qingfa once saw with his own eyes that the artillery of our army went down with one shell, and the devil machine gun on the cliff made the parts of the explosion fly wildly. But when our fighters rushed forward to forty or fifty meters away from the position, the devil's machine gun fired again like a zombie resurrection!

Because of the proximity, the devil's strafing caused more than 20 officers and soldiers of our army to leave their lives on the dustpan mountain. Our army fought again, and the devils stubbornly held on. As for this one machine-gun fortification, the two sides fought for most of the day without seeing each other. In the end, Xiao Qingfa was ruthless, and several cannons were bombarded at the same time, and the shelling lasted for ten minutes.

When the shelling was over, the devil's machine-gun positions completely disappeared. Not only the machine-gun position, but even the cliff was blown up! The immediate consequence of this shelling was the destruction of the road, in addition to the elimination of one of the machine-gun positions that posed the greatest threat to our troops!

The cliffs have been blown up, can the road under the cliffs be good? The road was full of rocks that had been blown down from the mountain, and people might be able to climb over it, but horses and vehicles would not be able to pass at all!

Detours? Gotta go far away. Blow the rocks that stand in your way? I tried it, and the effect can be described in no two words. Just when Xiao Qingfa was thinking about whether to make a report tomorrow and ask for a detour, Ren Laifeng's telegram arrived. Commander-in-Chief Ren told Xiao Qingfa a great piece of good news: Reinforcements will arrive tomorrow morning, and it is the New Tenth Army that will come to support!

Xiao Qingfa was so happy that he almost didn't jump. On the same day, he informed all the officers and soldiers of the advance detachment that the reinforcements would arrive tomorrow, no matter how happy the soldiers were, anyway, Xiao Qingfa was so excited that he didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.

Xiao Qingfa didn't know what happened to the New Tenth Army, but he still met the two division commanders of the New Tenth Army. After meeting, greeting, and greeting Liang Xing, Division Commander Liang said a major event: Gao Guixun, the commander of the New Tenth Army, has been removed from his post for violating military law, and now the commander of the New Tenth Army is Lin Xincheng, deputy commander-in-chief of the group army.

Vice President Lin? Captain Lin? Knowing that Lin Xincheng was also the commander of the New Tenth Army, Xiao Qingfa was a little confused about what was going on for a while. It wasn't until Liang Xing quietly explained the reason when no one was around, that Xiao Qingfa suddenly realized. What about Liu Wenju, the hero in this matter? Division Commander Liu stayed in Tangyuan and was with the commander-in-chief Ren Laifeng.

Although he knew that Lin Xincheng would personally command the New Tenth Army, Xiao Qingfa still didn't believe that Vice President Lin would come to the front line in person. He is the vice president of the group army. Besides, since Xiao Qingfa met Lin Xincheng, Vice President Lin didn't seem to have personally commanded a war. Will he really come to the front line of Dustpan Mountain? If Vice President Lin doesn't come, there will be three division commanders on the battlefield at once, who listens to whom? Or is it the big guys talking about it?

The mystery was solved the next day, and Lin Xincheng, vice chairman of the North Manchurian People's Congress, deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, and commander of the New Tenth Army, came to the front-line headquarters of our army at Dustpan Mountain at nearly noon the next day.

As soon as Lin Xincheng came, there was no need to fight for the command of the front line of Dustpan Mountain. The deputy marshal is here, and the generals listen to the order.

Xiao Qingfa, head of the advance detachment, first gave a briefing on the battle at Dustpan Mountain, and then recounted the problems encountered by the troops. The devils dug countless trenches and arranged countless blocking positions on the dustpan mountain.

Especially on the pine slope a kilometer away, where the devils have set up five machine-gun positions that can echo each other. Although Jean knocked one down, the only way he could pass was cut off by the rocks that had been blown down. Division Commander Xiao had already planned to take a long detour, and now it was up to Vice President Lin to decide.
