Then, the soldiers around him gathered and praised one by one.

Hu Lili and Qiao Mei also said: "We were rescued by Comrade Yang Chaoran from the house of the traitor Captain Qiao in the Huangzhuang stronghold and led to the revolutionary road!" He is our savior, our political guide. ”

"It's unbelievable, unbelievable! One person can defeat hundreds of enemies, which is even more powerful than Zhao Zilong back then! ”

"Captain Yang has long been very powerful."

"Yes, this time, so many people have been saved, if it weren't for him, the Shuiyang County Brigade and the Liangzhuang Martial Arts Team would have been wiped out!"

As he spoke, the soldiers rushed up, lifted Yang Chaoran up, and threw him towards the sky: "Come one, come one, come again!" ”

For a whole day, the Japanese puppet army showed no sign of counterattack.

The position of the Eighth Route Army in Nanshankou stands majestically.

In the evening, the remnant sun is like blood, and the peaks and mountains are like gathering.

Battalion Commander Yu Xinguang convened everyone to discuss the military situation.

Now, the most feared thing is that the enemy will sneak up on the South Pass.

The enemy was attacked by sneak attacks continuously, and he also lost the Nanshan Pass, and the soldiers were lost, how could he give up?

Yang Chaoran said: "We just need to defend tightly, but we must pay attention to the enemy's new tricks, such as using poison gas bombs!" This is the most dangerous. ”

Gas bombs?

Many cadres of the Eighth Route Army shook their heads, feeling that it was not a big deal.

Yang Chaoran described the specific methods of preventing poison gas bombs, in addition to gas masks, there are also some local methods, temporary emergency methods.

New proposals were also put forward for the overall defensive positions.

Everyone deliberated on Yang Chaoran's plan and rejected it.

Because Yang Chaoran's plan was to withdraw the large army from Nanshan Pass, implement a bluff and empty the city.

Because it is impossible to predict the enemy's offensive actions and destructive power.

Anyway, it is predictable that the Japanese puppet army will be crazy to retaliate! The battle will be ahead of its time and brutal.

Leaving small troops in the mountain passes, digging a large number of underground fortifications, hiding below.

Carrying out tunnel operations, even if the enemy occupies a surface position, our troops can easily regain their positions with internal and external cooperation.

Yang Chaoran was also worried about the enemy's long-range artillery fire and aircraft bombardment.

It was considered necessary to hide the troops, avoiding the first round of enemy fire coverage.

Yang Chaoran's plan is seriously beyond everyone's cognitive level.

In the end, Battalion Commander Yu Xinguang arranged two companies in Nanshan Pass to fortify the position and effectively defend.

The battalion commander also absorbed some of Yang Chaoran's suggestions and ordered the troops to dig a large number of tunnels in the defensive positions of the mountain pass, and if necessary, they could hide in them to avoid being killed by enemy artillery fire and poison gas.

The principle of democratic centralism, Yang Chaoran has no choice.

As night fell, the Eighth Route Army mobilized a large number of civilians to help build fortifications and tunnels.

The area on the side of the mountain has good soil uprightness, and it is possible to dig good tunnels.

Yang Chaoran was asked to rest in the rear.

Rest and rest!

He rested.

In the middle of the night, nothing happened.

Yang Chaoran felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone to inform the troops in Nanshan Pass, beware of the devil's sneak attack at dawn.

At dawn, there were no sneak attacks by devils!

However, after the sky was bright, suddenly, Nanshankou was stunned by the shaking of the mountain.

Devil's shells!

There are overwhelming shells, there are mortars, there are mountain artillery, there are brigade guns!

After more than 10 minutes of rapid firepower, the Nanshankou position had been blown into ruins.

Many tunnels and trenches built by the Eighth Route Army were completely blown up, and some soldiers hiding in the tunnels were crushed to death and crushed by the collapsed stones.

Some fighters in the trenches, torn apart by enemy shells.

Some of the fighters, who seemed to be fine, died because of the damage caused by the shock wave of the cannonball, bleeding from the seven orifices, rupturing internal organs.

The troops suffered heavy losses.

After that, the devil also dispatched two planes to further bomb the mountain pass.

The 250-pound heavy army shells blasted out four huge craters in the mountain pass, and all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army within 50 meters of the surrounding area died.

Then, the Japanese artillery fired poison gas bombs, and the terrible poison gas swirled around the Nanshan Pass, and some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had escaped the catastrophe from the bombing were mutilated by the poison gas.

2,000 meters south of the South Mountain Pass, the head of the Japanese garrison, Tosa Shaosa, and several officers were observing, all showing satisfied smiles.

"It is conceivable the fate of the Eighth Route Army there!"

"Yes, razed to the ground, not a single grass grows! The Eighth Route Army must survive one person! ”

"Only with the anger of revenge can the anger of the empire be appeased."

The officers said comfortably, smiling happily.

Tosa Shaosa gave the order: "The Imperial Allied Army assaulted, and the 129th Squadron followed up and occupied the South Pass. ”

The Japanese army was dispatched, the puppet army was dispatched, and soon, the military flag of the puppet army was fluttering on the South Mountain Pass!

Tosa Shaozo nodded with satisfaction, his eyes moistened: "Nanshan Pass, it is finally back in the hands of the imperial soldiers, this is the throat of the Tubalu base area, only by firmly blocking this place can the lifeblood of the Tubalu attackers be broken!" ”

The devil officers here raised their arms and shouted: "Onboard, onboard!" ”|

On the position of the Eighth Route Army, the remnants of the soldiers put up a stubborn resistance, and dozens of wounded soldiers fought hard to shoot at the enemy, but after being tortured by poison gas, some of them were blind, some were confused, and their combat ability was extremely weak, and they were killed by the puppet army's bullets and stabbed to death with guns.

The puppet army, wearing gas masks, charged at the front line, and after occupying the position, there were bursts of cheers.

Yang Chaoran, just above the mountain peak, saw the fall of the Nanshankou position.

On the frontal battlefield, in the firepower competition, the Eighth Route Army was not the opponent of the Japanese army at all.

It's a pity that the soldiers of the two infantry companies are all elite.

The puppet army then attacked deep in the mountain pass.

The Eighth Route Army organized troops and fired at the puppet army.

The battle was fierce.

The puppet army is fierce.

About a hundred puppet troops, divided into straggler formations, assaulted forward, followed by three light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and three grenadiers, and the fire suppressed the Eighth Route Army.

Ye Xunran, an instructor of the Eighth Route Army, died in the battle.

Instructor Li of the Shuiyang County Brigade was shot in the head and died.

The last company of Yu Xinguang's infantry battalion, plus the troops brought by Yang Chaoran, the county brigade and the guerrillas, all suffered heavy casualties and could not resist the attack of the puppet army.

Yang Chaoran was furious.

He rushed down from the mountain ridge and, on the steep front of the mountain, condescendingly, shot at the enemy.

Here, it was originally a place for him to relax, and he didn't see the enemy sneak attack at dawn, and Yang Chaoran himself was careless.

I didn't expect things to change so badly.

He couldn't go down the mountain for more than 20 minutes just now, because of the devil's plane bombing and poison gas bombs, he didn't have a gas mask, and he was sent to death if he went up.

A rifle, aimed at the machine gunners of the puppet army.

One shot at a time, one shot at a time, all five light and heavy machine guns of the devil were wiped out!

Then, he hit downward, and the soldiers of the puppet army were targeted by him, killing two platoon commanders, three squad leaders, and more than a dozen soldiers.

Yang Chaoran has no false shots!
