Shimada Toshio, chief of staff of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Brigade, looked at the battlefield in front of him and said: "Your Excellency General, look, the vanguard of our department is about to rush to the top of the mountain!" ”

The brigade group long Baokurahashi nodded happily and said, "Yo Xi!" Order all the attacking troops to attack with all their might, and after taking this mountainous area, they will completely destroy the enemy positions in the entire Black Tiger Gorge in one go, and occupy Datong by taking advantage of the situation!"

Seeing the dawn of victory, Kubokurahashi was in a good mood!

Receiving the order of Kubokurahashi, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, more than 6,000 Japanese infantry increased their speed and crossed the unrecognizable field position of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion at the bottom of the mountain.

If there is no resistance, these devils will easily rush to the top of the mountain.

Just when a group of little devil vanguard troops approached the top of the mountain dozens of meters and were about to rush up, in the smoke of gunpowder, rows of soldiers of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion suddenly poured out from the crippled mountaintop, including many female soldiers.

Without the slightest hesitation, all kinds of light weapons in their hands opened fire one after another, spewing out tongues of fire like evil dragons.

Rows of hot bullets whistled and fired at the Japanese officers and soldiers halfway up the mountain, and some of the little devils were caught off guard and fell down like mustard, and many even rolled backwards to the bottom of the mountain.

However, there were thousands of devils, and soon, a large group of devil soldiers opened fire one after another.

The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire on the hillside and mountain road.

At this time, in order to watch the battle of his troops more intuitively, Kubokurabashi came to the highest position on the top of the mountain, surrounded by a group of guards, holding a telescope.

The chief of staff on the side, Shimada Toshio, pointed to the front of the brigade commander Nagabokura Bridge and said: "Division commander, look, the attacking troops have been resisted!"

The corners of Kubokurahashi's mouth showed a relaxed smile, and he said, "Judging from the sparse firepower of the defenders, they are no longer afraid!" It won't be long before the besieging forces will be able to capture the mountain! It seems that the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of China has really been severely damaged by the powerful firepower of the imperial army!"

In fact, where does Kubokurahashi know, this is actually Yang Chen's intention, ordering the guard battalion to deliberately press and beat.

Otherwise, under full firepower, don't look at the fact that the little devil has thousands of troops at the moment, in fact, it is not enough to kill the guards at all.

Of course, it is not that the guard battalion is strong enough to easily annihilate these little devils, and a large part of the reason for this is because the guard battalion occupies the top of the mountain.

Yang Chen did this in order to cast a long line to catch big fish.

Thousands of offensive troops are not his ultimate goal, and he has always been passive on the defensive, and that is not his character.

He is playing a big game of chess, and he wants to annihilate all these little devils who cross the Black Tiger Gorge!

……

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

On the battlefield, dense and scorching bullets poured like heavy rain, raging and shuttling through the area where both the enemy and the enemy were.

The little devil went from the bottom up, most of the bullets hit the rocks of the mountain, and flew into the air, and finally fell to the ground with gravity due to the weakening of inertia.

However, a small number of bullets still hit the officers and men of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion, causing casualties.

Compared with the little devils from the bottom up, the officers and men of the guard battalion fired back at these little devils from the top down because they occupied the high ground on the top of the mountain.

Although the number of people is small, the victory lies in the strong firepower, and the dense and hot bullets cover it, intertwining with each other to form a huge fire net, devouring and covering the little devils, knocking down any little devil officers and soldiers who dare to stand in front of them to the ground.

In order to curb the momentum of the little devils, the artillery company of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion also opened fire fiercely at this moment, and in order to prevent accidental injury, they adjusted the muzzle of the gun slightly forward, and bombarded the little devils a little further back as much as possible.

As a result, it was self-defeating, and in order to quickly pass through the artillery blockade of the guard battalion, the little devils increased their speed and rushed bravely towards the front.

"Yaga! Find the enemy's artillery position and destroy it for me! ”

Seeing that the Shina Army still had artillery firepower, Kubokura Hashiden was furious and once again gave the order to fire back at the artillery of his headquarters.

On the battlefield, the dense and fierce gunfire comes and goes, interweaving and composing a music of death.

The battle went straight to the heat from the start, and there was no warm-up.

The entire battlefield then turned into a huge meat grinder, and soldiers on both sides were constantly shot and fell to the ground, killed or wounded.

The soldiers on both sides were all red-eyed, especially the soldiers of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion, every time a shuttle bullet was fired, there would be bursts of roaring sounds!

As for the little devils, it is more about the painful howls after being shot.

There is no other reason, the terrain is unfavorable, and the military base is huge, all of which are destined to have greater casualties!

……

Before you know it, the battle has been going on for half an hour.

Thousands of new corpses of little devils were added to the mountain road, and they were lying on the ground in an irregular manner.

The new soil that had just been blown up was soaked red by the corpses of these little devils.

As the battle continued, the air was already filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke and an irritating smell of blood.

"Yaga! This group of cunning Chinese army, ours has been tricked again! ”

Kubokurahashi's attention has been on the battlefield, and his eyes have been on the hilltop position of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion.

When he found that half an hour had passed, the firepower of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion had not weakened in the slightest, but had even strengthened a few points unconsciously, and he was immediately so angry that he gritted his teeth and was furious.

"Your Excellency General, what do you mean by that?"

Chief of Staff Shimada Toshio's heart tightened when he heard this, and he frowned and asked.

"This group of cunning Chinese army, in order to lure our army to charge, has deliberately hidden its combat power from the very beginning!"

Kubokurahashi grimaced his face and gritted his teeth to explain.

"How is this possible? Could it be that our army's previous bombardment did not cause any casualties to the Chinese army? ”

Toshio Shimada looked incredulous.

"Now it seems that it should be the Chinese army that built or found air defense sites in advance.

There is a mountain area ahead, and if there is a cave, these Chinese troops can hide in it and come out of the cave after our artillery bombardment is over. ”

A combat staff officer next to him seemed to think of something, and said after a moment of silence and words.

"That's how it should be!"

Kubokurahashi nodded with a gloomy face.

Although the chief of staff Shimada Toshio didn't want to believe it, he finally had to admit this cruel fact, and looked at the brigade group Nagabokura Bridge with a dead expression, and asked, "Your Excellency the general!" What do we do now? ”
