On the slope of the sacrificial flag, the headquarters of the Sichuan Army.

Mr. Chen didn't know where to find a pair of chess, and Mr. Chen was playing chess with Song Xilian.

Song Xilian had just made a clever move, and President Chen fell into the long exam, frowning and said: "Yin Guo, I only knew that you fought well, but I didn't expect you to be so good at chess?" ”

"Jun Zuo has won the prize." Song Xilian said, "It's just a fluke." ”

Chief Chen shook his head, and was about to speak, when Senior Chen hurriedly came in.

"Junza, Sum." Senior Chen said, "The Sichuan Legion Assault Regiment has just sent back the news that they have successfully entered the Tree Fort on the Nantian Gate, and have cleared the Japanese troops in the Tree Fort. ”

"Took the Tree Castle?" President Chen perked up when he heard this, "Great." ”

Song Xilian also said: "What is the situation of the Sichuan Army commando now? Are there many casualties? And is the stockpiling in the tree fort as well as expected? ”

Senior Chen replied: "The casualties of the Sichuan Army commando team are not large, nine dead and sixteen seriously wounded, and the supplies that the Japanese army has hoarded in the tree fort are as sufficient as expected, enough to support them for several months!" ”

"Good! That's half the battle! ”

Song Xilian and Chief Chen were overjoyed.

Chen Dayuan said again: "It's a pity that I couldn't kill Zhuuchi Lianshan. ”

"It's nothing." Chief Chen said, "Taking the tree fort is a victory, immediately reply to the Sichuan Army Assault Regiment, and verbally commend Commander Long and all the officers and soldiers of the commando!" As for the specific incentives, we will discuss them after their triumphant return! In short, the party-state and Chairman Chiang will definitely not treat them badly! ”

……

On Henglan Mountain, the observation post at the front of the Yu Division.

From beginning to end, Yu Xiaoqing's gaze never left the artillery mirror, although in addition to the fog in the field of vision of the artillery mirror, it was still fog, but he always stood behind the artillery mirror.

I don't know what Yu Xiaoqing is looking at.

And the gunfire on the west bank of the Nu River has been ringing for a long time.

He Shuguang said hatefully: "A commando team of two hundred people wants to take down the tree fort on the Nantian Gate, and it is a fool's dream. ”

"The Tree Fort on the Nantian Gate?" Zhang Lixian said suddenly, "They can't even take a defense at the foot of the mountain, let alone Shubao!" ”

"Yes, they can't even break through the first defense of the Japanese army." He Shuguang said, "Isn't it just bragging, who wouldn't?" Let's see, and then they'll have to roll back to Zenda. ”

"When the time comes, see how they explain to Jun and Zongza."

"It's just that I can't figure it out, why did Jun Zuo and the general seat believe in the Sichuan Army?"

"Still can't figure it out?" Zhang Lixian said coldly, "This Jun seat is not the other Jun seat, that's it." ”

Zhang Lixian means that Chief Chen and Chief Yu have always been at odds with each other, and Yu Xiaoqing is Chief Yu's nephew, so Chief Chen will definitely deliberately suppress Yu Xiaoqing.

"What the fuck is going on?" He Shuguang scolded hatefully.

As soon as the words fell, Hai Zhengchong, the head of the main group, suddenly hurriedly walked in.

He Shuguang, Zhang Lixian and a few other relatives and Tang Ji's eyes fell on Hai Zhengchong's face, only Yu Xiaoqing was unmoved, still standing behind the artillery mirror and did not get up.

Tang Ji said: "Captain Hai, is there any news from the Sichuan Army?" ”

"Teacher's seat, deputy teacher's seat." Hai Zheng gave a military salute and said, "The latest news, the Sichuan Legion commando has taken the tree fort on the Nantian Gate. ”

"What do you say?"

"Taken?"

"It can't be!"

Zhang Lixian, He Shuguang and a few other relatives exploded at once.

Although Yu Xiaoqing didn't move, there was a slight twitch on his face, showing that his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Hai Zhengchong said: "The Sichuan Army has indeed taken the Tree Fort. ”

Yu Xiaoqing finally straightened up, but did not look back: "Got it." ”

Hai Zheng rushed to Yu Xiaoqing and Tang Ji to salute each of them, and turned around to leave the observation post.

Zhang Lixian snorted coldly and said: "This is just a fluke, taking advantage of the foggy day to exploit a loophole, and as soon as the fog clears, the Japanese army will immediately counterattack, and at that time it will be up to them to hold the tree fort." ”

"Yes, they can't hold it." He Shuguang said, "Can't hold it!" ”

……

On the west bank of the Nu River, on a certain hill in Gaoligong Mountain.

"It's the top." The voice of the snake-butted Ma Dazhi came from ahead, "I've reached the top of the mountain." ”

Wang Yan immediately shouted: "The rest of the battalions and companies are resting in place, and the machine gun company will follow me to the top of the mountain." ”

Wang Yan went up to the top of the mountain with the machine gun of the 1st Battalion, only to see that a round of red sun had risen from the eastern sky, and the fog that shrouded Nantianmen and the entire Gaoligong Mountain had also dispersed.

The fog dispersed, and the entire Gaoligong Mountain was as if it had been washed with water, which was exceptionally clear.

Even without a telescope at all, Wang Yan could clearly see the perforations of the tree fort towering over the Nantian Gate.

Through the field of view of the telescope, you can see it more clearly, and through the perforation of the tree fort, you can even faintly see the commandos hidden inside.

"Machine gun company, build a firing position on the spot! Fast! ”

As soon as Wang Yan gave the order, the six M1917 Browning heavy machine guns and six 60mm mortars of the machine gun company began to step up their construction.

Then calibrate the elements.

Get ready to shoot.

"Gun Position 1 is complete!"

"Machine gun No. 1 is over!"

"Machine Gun No. 2 is over!"

"Machine gun No. 3 is over!"

"Gun Position 2 is complete!"

"Machine gun No. 4 is over!"

……

"Gun Position 6 is complete!"

The hard training that lasted for more than half a year was not in vain.

The tactical literacy of the machine gun company was quite good, and all the preparations were completed in less than a quarter of an hour, and six heavy machine guns and six mortars had been locked around the tree fort.

Wang Yan raised the binoculars again and said with a cruel smile: "Come on, little devil of dog day, come on, come on!" ”

As if hearing Wang Yan's call, the Japanese troops on the Nantian Gate really reacted, accompanied by a babbling and hoarse shout, about a small group of Japanese infantry came out of the sub-forts, trenches and communication trenches around the tree fort, holding bright bayonets, and rushed to the central tree fort like a tide.

Wang Yan immediately shouted: "Fire!" ”

Six M1917 Browning heavy machine guns, lined up behind him, opened fire at the same time.

In an instant, six dazzling tongues of fire were drawn towards the South Heavenly Gate like the whip of the god of death.

Almost at the same time, six 60mm mortars on the anticline behind them also opened fire at the same time, smashing rows of shells into the tree fort at Nantianmen.

Almost at the same time, two machine gun batteries of the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the Sichuan Corps, which had entered the left side of Gaoligong Mountain, also opened fire.

18 M1917 Browning heavy machine guns instantly weaved a dense network of fire around the tree fort.

Coupled with the artillery coverage of 18 60mm caliber mortars, the area within a 100-meter radius of the tree fort immediately became an insurmountable moat.
