Cao Guolin replied yes, and then turned around and waved, and the officers and soldiers of the regimental headquarters guard company, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward one after another to unload the wooden crates one by one.

Cao Guolin also picked up a wooden box from the car and found that it was not very heavy.

At that moment, Cao Guolin asked Zhong Yi: "Counselor, what is in this box?" ”

Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Secret weapon." ”

"Secret weapon?" Cao Guolin looked dazed.

……

Almost at the same time, at the foot of the Weigh Rock Mountain.

Toshizo Tsuchiya, the captain of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 42nd Infantry Wing, was patrolling the position with a saber on his shoulder.

I saw that on the position, more than 100 officers and soldiers of the 4th Infantry Squadron belonging to the Tsuchiya Brigade were sweating like rain digging trenches.

The little devil is known as a groundhog, it is true or not, every time it is stationed in the camp, it will inevitably build fortifications in the camp, and after the Tsuchiya Brigade took over the position of Mt. Tsuchiya from the Aso Brigade, even though they knew that they might abandon the position early tomorrow morning, they were still meticulous in repairing the fortifications.

"Dig me deeper in the trenches." Toshizo Tsuchiya said as he walked, "Look carefully, don't let go of any corner, and see if there are any explosive bags secretly buried by the Shina Army underneath!" ”

Before retreating, Chinese troops often buried explosive packs in trenches.

At the beginning, the Japanese army was unprepared for this and suffered a big loss.

But the first thing to do after seizing the position was to clear the trenches and see if there were any explosive packs buried underneath.

But apparently, the Coastal Defense Corps did not do so.

The Tsuchiya Brigade did not find explosives at Mt. Scale.

After making a round, Toshizo Tsuchiya returned to the mountainside.

Toshizo Tsuchiya's headquarters was located halfway up Mount Tsuchiyama.

However, compared to the bustle and hustle and bustle at the foot of the mountain, there is silence halfway up the mountainside.

It wasn't until I walked into the trench on the mountainside that I could see that there were rows of devil soldiers squatting in the narrow trench, and all the devil soldiers were holding 38 big covers.

The 38 big cover has even been loaded with bayonets!

Seeing Toshizo Tsuchiya coming over, the devils who were squatting in the trenches bowed one after another.

Toshizo Tsuchiya returned the salute one by one, occasionally stopping to sort out the clothes of a certain devil.

There was a squadron of devil soldiers hiding halfway up the mountain, which was quietly transferred down after nightfall on the orders of Shun Sakamoto, in order to prevent the counterattack of the coastal defense corps.

If the Haiphong Corps really planned to launch a counterattack on the Weighing Mountain at night, then when the two sides were fighting fiercely at the foot of the mountain, this infantry squadron in ambush halfway up the mountain suddenly came out and outflanked from behind, and it would definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise! At that time, the coastal defense corps will suffer an unprecedented fiasco.

……

Time passed quietly, and soon it was 2 a.m. on August 5.

Under the cover of night, a team of about 400 people quietly came to the Lion's Head Village near Liangtong Mountain.

However, at this time, the villagers of Lion's Head Village had already been transferred, and they had already been transferred to Yinjiang three days ago.

After coming to the entrance of the village, the team stopped and stopped walking, but the two figures quietly walked out of the team and came to an old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

"Goo, goo!"

After two old owl calls, a wild cat's cry also sounded in the village.

Immediately after, a dark shadow came out of the village like a ghost.

The black shadow that came out of the village was Li Sigen of the Special Operations Brigade.

Li Sigen walked up to one of the figures at the entrance of the village and whispered, "Take a seat." ”

One of the two people who dared to love the entrance of the village was Zhong Yi, and Zhong Yi asked, "Tell me about the situation in Liangtong Mountain?" ”

"Yes." Li Sigen replied in a low voice, and then said, "There was originally a squadron of devils in Liangtong Mountain, and after nightfall, at least one squadron was quietly transferred and hid in the position halfway up the mountain. ”

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The devil has long guessed that we will fight back at night. ”

Li Sigen said: "In addition, the devils also arranged more than a dozen hidden firepower points in the first line of defense at the foot of the mountain and in the position halfway up the mountain. ”

"Hidden firing points?" Xu Chao, who came with Zhong Yi, said, "If we don't know about this situation, we will definitely suffer a big loss when we fight back, and the little devil of the dog day is really cunning enough!" ”

"The confrontation between the two armies is naturally done in every possible way, and there is nothing to say about it." Zhong Yi waved his hand and asked Li Sigen again, "Have you written down the directions of these dozen or so hidden firepower points?" ”

"I've written it down." Li Sigen said as he took out a piece of paper.

Zhong Yi took the paper and opened it, only to see that a sketch had been drawn on it.

After folding the sketch and putting it away, Zhong Yi said, "Okay, continue to monitor." ”

Li Sigen hesitated and asked, "Counselor, do you want our special operations team to also participate in the counterattack?" ”

"No, you don't." Zhong Yi said categorically, "Good steel should be used on the blade, unless it is really a last resort, your special operations brigade cannot participate in frontal combat!" ”

……

Let's go back and talk about Toshizo Tsuchiya.

After inspecting the foot of the mountain, Toshizo Tsuchiya returned to the headquarters of the brigade on the mountainside with confidence.

Back in his tent, Toshizo Tsuchiya spread out the blanket and prepared for a good night's sleep, saying that he had not slept well since the landing in Hangzhou Bay.

However, not long after lying down, gunshots suddenly rang out at the foot of the mountain.

At first, there were sporadic gunshots, but they soon rang out.

At that moment, Toshizo Tsuchiya lifted the curtain and walked out, and then went down to the edge of the trench and looked at the foot of the mountain, only to see that the night sky was already covered with criss-crossing bullet tracks, dazzling.

Seeing this, even idiots can know that the Chinese army has really launched a night counterattack.

"It's really here!" The corners of Toshizo Tsuchiya's mouth immediately burst into a cruel smile, then let's all die!

When he looked back again, Toshizo Tsuchiya saw more than 200 imperial soldiers squatting in the trench to rest, and at night, more than 200 imperial soldiers were waiting intently.

However, Toshizo Tsuchiya was not in a hurry to launch an ambush.

The battle had just begun, and it was too early to launch an ambush.

It's better to let the Chinese army attack for a while, and wait until they are completely caught in the battlefield.

Toshizo Tsuchiya raised his binoculars again, only to see that the battle at the bottom of the mountain had entered a white heat.

The night counterattack of the Chinese army was very fierce, and in less than ten minutes, it was already close to the first line of defense of the Tsuchiya brigade, especially the light firepower of the Chinese army, which completely suppressed the imperial army.

Toshizo Tsuchiya subconsciously bowed his head, which was the main reason why the Chinese army had to counterattack at night.

Because of the night counterattack, the artillery fire of the imperial army could not be effective, while the firepower superiority of the Chinese army in light weapons could be fully utilized.

But even so, Toshizo Tsuchiya is not worried.

Because the Tsuchiya Brigade has already built more than a dozen concealed firepower points.

A few dozen meters further on, the first three covert firing points should have opened fire.

Toshizo Tsuchiya's mind even conjured up the scene of Chinese soldiers falling to the ground in rows.
