Half an hour later, at Kowloon Mountain.

Li Weifan, deputy of the second battalion, was standing on the top of the mountain with a solemn expression, looking down at the mountainside in front of him.

After arguing with Qin Dingyong for a long time, Li Weifan finally won the task of guarding Jiulong Mountain, not because of how eager Li Weifan was to fight, but because he couldn't trust Qin Dingyong.

Qin Dingyong was born in the camel militia, practiced martial arts, and was unmatched.

If he really fought with the devil with a bayonet, Li Weifan believed that Qin Dingyong would never admit it and retreat.

But Qin Dingyong was not morale, but the commander of a battalion, as the commander, he was incompetent, so Li Weifan took over the task of guarding Jiulong Mountain.

Jiulong Mountain is not only the first link of the entire fortification, but this battle is also the first battle between their five regiments and the devils, which will be directly related to the vicious battle in the next few days, and there must be no mistakes!

Halfway up the mountainside, the officers and men of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion were rushing to repair the fortifications, and the entire mountainside was in full swing.

There wasn't much that could be done for mountain defense, and it was also a temporary defense, and it was obviously too late to dig underground tunnels in all directions, and the only thing he could do now was to dig a trench halfway up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, and then build a final line on the ridge at the top of the mountain.

Due to the tight schedule, it is unknown how deep the trenches can be dug halfway up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.

What Li Weifan hopes now is that the devil can arrive a little later, because the devil's late arrival means that the 1st Company can spend an extra quarter of time building fortifications.

However, this is destined to be a luxury.

Just when the officers and men of the 1st Company and the nearby civilians were busy repairing the fortifications, a signal soldier hurriedly came up.

"Vice-camp." Still far away, the signal corps shouted, "News from the regimental headquarters, the devil is coming!" ”

Li Weifan's heart suddenly froze, and he hurriedly raised his binoculars to look ahead, only to see that on the mechanized road ahead, there was indeed a small group of devils driving over.

There are only a few dozen devils in this small team.

But Li Weifan knew very well that this was just a devil's spearhead.

Behind this team of devils, there are also a large number of devils following up!

Sure enough, less than a moment later, a large group of devils appeared behind this small group of devils, accompanied by the devil infantry, and the rolling traffic!

The Fifth Division has finally arrived!

Taking a breath, Li Weifan shouted: "Pass my order, the people will immediately withdraw from the position, and the 1st platoon will immediately enter the defensive position at the foot of the mountain, quick!" ”

Li Weifan's order was quickly conveyed.

The civilians who were rushing to repair the fortifications began to evacuate, and more than 100 officers and men of the 1st platoon entered the position, three light machine guns and one heavy machine gun were quickly erected, and three 60mm caliber mortars were also erected in the trenches.

……

At the same time, two kilometers ahead, the village of Yao Sidian.

Jiro Aso, the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 21st Infantry Wing, put down his binoculars and said to Ichiro Ishida, the squadron leader of the 1st Infantry Squadron under him: "Ishida-kun, there are still about two hours before dark, and I hope that the flag of the Imperial Japanese Army will be planted on the top of Kowloon Mountain before dark." ”

"Hello!" Ishida Ichiro shook his head heavily, then grabbed his saber on his shoulder, turned around and hurried away.

Aso Jiro turned back to the signal corps and said, "Order, the artillery squad will prepare artillery fire on the defensive position of the front of Jiulong Mountain!" ”

"Hello!"

……

At the foot of Jiulong Mountain, the defensive position of 1 platoon and 1 squad.

Yu Qi held a Garand semi-automatic rifle, lying behind the trench and quietly staring ahead.

Yu Qi was originally a veteran of the 11th Division of the Central Army, and was stranded in Shanghai after being injured in the Battle of Songhu, and later transferred to Yinjiang and joined the Coastal Defense Corps, and he is now the deputy platoon commander of the 1st platoon.

The only thing that made Yu Qi feel a little inconvenient was that because his height was more than one meter eight, and the depth of the trench was not enough, it was a little inconvenient.

In the sound of broken footsteps, a soldier approached Yu Qi.

When Yu Qi looked back, he found that it was a soldier from Group 1, Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu is a native of Juelin Village, Camel Town, and is ranked ninth in the family, and others call him Ah Jiu.

Yu Qi saw that Qin Jiu was a little nervous, so he said with a smile: "Ah Jiu, close your eyes, don't think about anything, just do whatever I ask you to do." ”

Qin Jiu obviously didn't trust Yu Qi, and he really closed his eyes when he heard the words.

As soon as his eyes closed, the surroundings suddenly fell into pitch darkness, and Qin Jiu was not so nervous.

It didn't take long for a screeching sound to sound in my ears, followed by a loud bang.

Qin Jiu's heart hung up again, and at this time, Yu Qi's faint voice sounded in his ears again: "It's nothing, it's just the bombardment of the devil, and it will be over soon." ”

Qin Jiu calmed down again, squatting in place with his eyes closed and not moving.

After about half a cup of tea, the booming explosion stopped.

The entire position fell silent, Qin Jiu could clearly hear the wheezing sound of his comrades, it was like pulling a bellows, very fine, it could be seen that his comrades-in-arms were very nervous, it was impossible not to be nervous.

However, since he couldn't see the outside world, Qin Jiu was not nervous.

After about half a cup of tea, the breathing of the comrades next to him became heavier.

At this time, Yu Qi's deep voice suddenly sounded in Qin Jiu's ears: "Ah Jiu, get up!" ”

Qin Jiu opened his eyes when he heard this, then stood up with his Garand rifle, turned around and crouched beside Yu Qi, and then looked up and looked ahead, and saw that dozens of devils had already opened the straggler line, rushing over with bayonets.

This was the first time Qin Jiu had participated in a battle in the true sense of the word, and the whole person tightened up at once.

Yu Qi patted Qin Jiu's shoulder and said, "You look at me, you will do whatever I do." ”

As he spoke, Yu Qi set up the Garand rifle on the trench and pointed the muzzle of the gun in front of him.

Qin Jiu trembled and raised Garlander with both hands, but because he was shaking so badly, his hand didn't listen to the call very much, and the muzzle of the gun was actually pointed at Yu Qi who was pointing to the side, which frightened Yu Qi and quickly dodged.

"Pointing to the front." Yu Qi dodged and said, "The muzzle of the gun is aimed at the front." ”

"Oooh." Qin Jiu hurriedly adjusted the muzzle of the gun and pointed diagonally forward.

Yu Qi said again: "Now open the insurance, yes, open the insurance, insurance!" ”

Qin Jiu opened the rifle safety again with a shudder, and then pressed his right index finger to the trigger of the rifle.

After a while, the devil infantry in front had already entered within three hundred meters, and Yu Qi did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and at the same time shouted: "Fight, fight me to death!" ”

Seeing this, Qin Jiu also pulled the trigger.

"Woohoo!" Garand, who was on Qin Jiu's shoulder, rang out a continuous sonic boom.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Qin Jiu suddenly became nervous, as if he had been opened up to Ren Du's second vein, and Mu Mu's eyes instantly became fierce.
