Almost all Red Army soldiers are now in positions, at least at the squad and platoon level, ensuring that each squad has a Red Army soldier as squad leader or deputy squad leader.

Because the captives accounted for the majority, in order to prevent rebellion and escape, Guo Zhuocheng was also forced to set up a team of supervisors. The warlords, led by Cao Xinchun, were given the right to shoot any soldier who disobeyed or even fled in wartime.

Now that time is very tight and the situation is very tense, Guo Zhuocheng has no time to do ideological work, nor does he have the energy to engage in any kind of "joining the Red Army on a voluntary basis, and those who do not want to join the Red Army can leave, and even pay travel expenses."

Wang Zanbin gave an order, and nearly 3,000 people from two regiments of the Gui Army attacked Matouling from the centripetal direction in all directions.

To the surprise of the Gui army, the defenders did not return fire until they ran to the foot of the hill to prepare to attack upwards when a few soldiers hiding in the trench began to shoot.

In each trench, only about one squad of soldiers shot at the Gui army indiscriminately, and the bullets were simply flying indiscriminately, and there was basically no lethality.

Gui Jun shouted and rushed up more than 20 meters, and only a few people were injured.

What made these Gui soldiers laugh was that they had not set up mortars or heavy machine guns, and the other party began to run away. What made me laugh the most was that these guys actually ran away empty-handed, even lost their machine guns and even rifles, and looked like they were lost and depressed.

"Company commander, are the communists trying to lure us? I have never seen such a war of the Red Army, and the Red Army is not afraid of death. A platoon commander was suspicious and involuntarily approached the company commander and said.

The company commander also realized that something was wrong. But still commanded the soldiers to rush forward. The first trench was captured.

He couldn't wait to grab the light machine gun that the other party had dropped. I pushed the bolt and found that the machine gun turned out to be good. He couldn't help laughing and shouted loudly: "Hahahaha, brothers, the communists here are a rabble, they don't have the courage to fight our Gui army." You see, they even lost their machine guns, and what are we afraid of. Rush ......"

Before he finished shouting, he heard a loud bang, and the big explosive-medicine package buried in the trench exploded violently, and the company commander who shouted and the machine gun in his hand had all the Gui troops around him on the earthen plane, and many people were killed by the iron nails and corpses of the explosive-medicine package, and more soldiers were knocked down by the explosion of the air waves, some were shocked to death, some were seriously injured, and the scene was a miserable cry......

The momentum of the Gui army's offensive was a setback.

While some soldiers were panicking to avoid the blows of the explosive-pill packs, they unfortunately stepped on a mine planted by the defenders. Several hapless soldiers lost their lives. Moreover, the defenders' machine guns in the second trench rang out in time. Bullets rained down.

The Gui army fled with a bang, and the trench abandoned by the defenders just now was recaptured by the other party.

The commander of the Gui army was furious, and personally shot a few guys who were so frightened that they turned pale and crawled backwards, and finally stopped them from escaping and made them lie on the ground according to the order.

This time, the Gui army was not as careless as just now, and began to prepare for artillery fire, covering each other with light and heavy machine guns and grenades, and advancing step by step.

This time they finally advanced to the first trench, where the defending soldiers still did not hold out, and unlike the previous Red Army, they had already retreated when they were bombarded by mortars, and the light and heavy machine guns and grenades of the Gui army were almost useless.

The Gui army not only learned to be obedient when attacking, but also became much more honest after occupying the position, no soldiers piled up, and no soldiers laughed wildly, but immediately found a suitable position to hide themselves, and moved light and heavy machine guns and forward mortars to attack the defenders' second line of defense.

The second line of defense was also occupied by the Gui army, and the defenders also fled before the mortar bombardment. When the Gui army cautiously rushed to the second line of defense, two explosive packets were also detonated there, but because the Gui army was very careful and almost crawled past, the two explosive packs did not kill or injure many people, only two or three unlucky ghosts died.

This explosion not only did not frighten the Gui army, but made the Gui army feel a lot more relieved, and they finally found that the defenders were also three-plate axes: they strafed a few times in the trench, fled when they encountered strong firepower, and when they left, they ignited the fuse of the explosive-medicine package, and when the Gui army retreated, they chased over and regained their positions, and if they couldn't get back, they held the next line of defense.

Therefore, thinking that they had mastered the laws of the defenders, they were more careful, always paying attention to the blows of the other side, pushing the defense line up more steadily, according to their estimates, advancing at the current speed, and taking Matouling in less than two hours.

Wang Zanbin, who was staying at the division headquarters, was relieved when he heard the report from the front, and the dark clouds in his heart were dispelled a lot because of the downing of the plane.

In their opinion, the communist bandits defending Matouling relied on their good weapons and equipment, and they relied on their sufficient ammunition, but they did not have the courage and the ability to defend to the death.

He called again and ordered his subordinates not to be greedy, not to steal merit, and to be sure to take every step of the way, because the communists and bandits on the mountain still have killer weapons in their hands, and they still have artillery. Although it is possible that the bombardment of five aircraft destroyed those guns, this is only speculation, and it is impossible to judge whether it is true or false, so it is necessary to constantly call for defensive artillery bombardment.

It has to be said that Wang Zanbin and his commanders were very calm, they slowly advanced towards the mountainside, occupied the mountainside position and then attacked to the top of the mountain.

Division Commander Wang Zanbin and the two regiment commanders who served as the attacker, as well as other high-ranking officers, saw the dawn of victory.

But that's not entirely the case. The terrain of these main attack directions of the Gui army was relatively flat, and the road up the mountain was relatively easy to walk, so the progress was good. But those who attack from rough paths, those who attack from steep directions, are not so lucky.

At the beginning, these Gui troops, who served as feints, also hoped that they could change the feint attack into the main attack, and the friendly troops who were in the direction of the main attack first climbed to the top of the mountain in one step, and could win the great merit of occupying Matouling.

However, they were very depressed to find out how difficult it was to attack here, and how many casualties were inflicted. It's not that the firepower of the defenders is so strong, there are not many defenders here to guard against them, but these defenders are so shameless that they have taken their actions such as laying mines, setting traps, and carrying out assassinations to the extreme.

The mountain road here was originally difficult to walk, but the defenders either planted mines or set traps in every place, and just glad that they had walked to the side and did not step on the perfunctory place, but unexpectedly stepped on the hidden roadside bomb. I was very angry, thinking that there was a fake mine buried in the middle of the road, but when I was about to cross it and move forward, it exploded, blowing up the people behind me and crying for my mother.

When I hid in the grass and observed the situation above, the thing that looked like a dead branch on the rock was smoking and making a clattering sound. When they were so frightened that they scattered and crawled away, there was no movement in the place where the noise and smoke was rising, but when they fled, they led some rocks to fly down, which made the soldiers who were climbing up at the foot of the mountain cry bitterly, some of them fell to death and were injured, and several soldiers were smashed in the head by the falling rocks and screamed again and again.

grabbed a mountain vine and climbed up, but found that the hand that grabbed the mountain vine was in sharp pain, and when I looked closely, I didn't know who viciously pressed the rusty iron nail inside. When he hurriedly threw away the mountain vine to grab the stone to stabilize himself, the stone was loose, and it was also a mechanism to activate the bamboo bow, and several bamboo arrows were shot head-on, although these bamboo arrows were made temporarily, not very strong and not very sharp, but they were pierced in the face and in the arms, and it still hurt very much......

There are sharp bamboo sticks in the grass to tie the footboards, and there are large pits in the rocks for you to fall. When you look down at your feet and move step by step, your head or your gun may well touch a string hanging in mid-air, and an aerial mine explodes in volley. When you look up in horror to see if there is a mechanism, your foot may step on an ordinary stone and usher in a rain of bullets......

With the increase of wounded and corpses, more and more soldiers have changed from attacking fighters to ambulance personnel, originally the purpose of their feint was to attract the defenders and distract the defenders, but now it is the opposite, the shadow of the defenders has not yet been seen, but their own side has to increase troops because of huge casualties, and it has become their own side of the army.

Sun Xingguo took a group of "sharpshooters" selected from the captives and Red Army soldiers on the top of the mountain to take a roll call one by one, and he himself commented angrily on the side.

"Stupid! Don't you know that the wind below is not the same as the wind above? You know your own shooting level, and at 400 meters you shouldn't aim for the head, you should aim for his chest, so that the chance of hitting is much higher. Look at you, you only hit him in the ear, and it didn't hurt him, that is, he was just scared today, and when he got up tomorrow, he would be fine. Looking at the look on your face, you thought it was great to hit him so far, right? As a sniper, you either hit or don't do it, you do this to startle the snake, I really can't say anything about you. ”

"Idiot! Lao Tzu said to him, if you want to hit the chest, you aim at the other party's chest? Didn't you see him lying on the ground? The area of his head facing you is larger than the area of his chest, and he is lying there, blocked by weeds, you can't see how he is lying on his stomach, you don't know if there is wood or stone in front of his chest.

In this case, you're going to hit him in the head. He is a squad leader, even if he can't kill him, he can frighten him, as long as he is frightened, the squad he leads will have no morale, and the timid soldiers under him will become stupid geese, and it is not accurate to clean up one by one? Do you understand? I know you're stupid, you don't understand, you don't know how to use flexibly, you don't know how to use your brain. ”
