Chapter 158: The Mountaintop
The rain finally stopped, and the sky finally saw a hint of blue, and the mood of the people who watched it was much better.
Beard stumbled out of the bushes and stumbled out of the mud, looking around to observe the movement around him. With a few bazooka and 81 mortars, the valley camp was able to withstand the Japanese attack, and God helped, and it rained for several days. The muddy slopes of the mountains slowed down the Japanese offensive, and by this time, the expeditionary force that had the advantage of the terrain and the attacking Japanese army had become tired troops, and the battle had temporarily stopped. The Japanese army surrounded the valley camp, but Zhao Dahai and the American engineers were happy to defend it with a large amount of hoarded materials.
Today is the day when Hu Zi led the team to the top of the mountain to be vigilant, but Zhao Xiaochuan stood on the top of the mountain and scolded the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain, which caused the anger of the Japanese army, and a mortar smashed on the top of the mountain, and Hu Zi and other brothers were scattered. The telescope has long been unknown, and the beard can only observe the surroundings with the naked eye.
A few days ago, the Japanese army attacked the top of the mountain several times, and was knocked down by the bearded leader. Hu Zi had always suspected that the Japanese army's attack a few days ago was to cover up the fact that they were building fortifications in the middle of the mountain, and he was now heading to the middle of the mountain, and he wanted to find out the situation in the middle of the mountain. If the Japanese really set up fortifications in the middle of the mountain, then their attack distance would be shortened by half, and once the top of the mountain was occupied by the Japanese army, wouldn't the valley camp be directly exposed to the guns of the Japanese army.
Hu Zi felt a little sorry for Zhao Zhi and them now, if Zhao Zhi's gang were still there, the valley camp would never have fallen into such a situation. When Zhao Zhi left, he left all the supplementary soldiers, and the defensive arrangement of the canyon was also very appropriate, but as soon as Zhao Zhi left, Zhao Dahai adjusted Zhao Zhi's arrangement.
Zhao Xiaochuan was sent to garrison the canyon, and it was foolproof to guard the canyon, but the rain made Zhao Xiaochuan lose his vigilance, and Zhao Dahai often sent wine to the canyon station, which caused the Japanese army to raid the canyon on a rainy night. Seeing that his brother-in-law was in trouble, Zhao Dahai personally led people to rescue, but was directly shot in the chest by a Japanese sniper, and the brothers sacrificed several lives to snatch the seriously injured Zhao Dahai back, and now Zhao Dahai is still lying unconscious on the bed.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhi had already set up fortified bunkers on the top of the hill around the valley camp, and the US engineering company condescendingly used heavy firepower to block the Japanese fortifications, otherwise, the valley camp would have been lost. Zhao Dahai was unconscious, and the supplementary soldiers stationed in the valley had become a pot of porridge without a leader, after all, Zhao Dahai was their nominal commander. Zhao Xiaochuan drank all day long, ignoring the chaos in the camp and the attacks of the Japanese troops outside the mountain, relying on dozens of veterans of the reconnaissance company with beards to suppress those supplementary soldiers.
The beard is lonely, but he is not afraid, he has been a soldier in the country for more than ten consecutive years, and he has never seen any big battles. The U.S. military has already asked the headquarters for help, and only by holding the top of the mountain, there is no danger for the time being. The bearded cat quickly ran behind a big rock, and sure enough, there were a few veterans lying behind it.
"How are you doing? You okay? Beard asked eagerly, at a time like this, one more person would change the tide of battle.
"Xie Lao Liu is dead, Liu Er's leg is injured, and the others are fine"
There were 10 people coming up, and now there are only 8 and a half left, and the beard glared at Zhao Xiaochuan fiercely. If he hadn't provoked the Japanese just now, he would have been shelled as soon as he reached the top of the mountain. Feeling the gaze of the beard, Zhao Xiaochuan stalked his neck, "Why are you staring at me?" I didn't let the little devil fire."
"Bang" Zhang Daniu, who has always been good friends with Xie Laoliu, gave Zhao Xiaochuan a slap in the face, "If you hadn't drunk with people, the Japanese army would have robbed the canyon, and so many brothers would have died there." On weekdays, the brothers are looking at your brother's face and are letting you, but now at this time, you are still playing prestige."
Zhao Xiaochuan, who was slapped in the face, looked at Zhang Daniu angrily, threw himself over with a low roar, and fought with Zhang Daniu. "Holy shit, you dare to hit me, you hillbilly" Zhao Xiaochuan pressed Zhang Daniu under his body and pinched Zhang Daniu's neck with both hands. Hu Zi hurriedly went over and pulled Zhao Xiaochuan away, "Okay, if you get it again, you will die."
"No", Zhao Xiaochuan, who was pulling away, pounced on Zhang Daniu again, and he swore not to give up if he didn't kill Zhang Daniu. Zhang Daniu was half-kneeling on the ground at this time, and when he saw Zhao Xiaochuan pounce again, he didn't have time to stand up. In a hurry, he simply bent his waist towards Zhao Xiaochuan, hugged Zhao Xiaochuan, and slammed him into the big rock.
Zhao Xiaochuan, who was hugged by the waist, was pushed back again and again by Zhang Daniu, who was full of brute strength, and eagerly raised his legs against the big stone behind him, and the whole person hung in the air, and pressed Zhang Daniu to the ground with the weight of his whole body.
"Beard, don't worry about it, let them fight, Xiaochuan is really not like talking" The veterans next to him saw that Beard was going to fight, and they stepped forward to dissuade him, and the beard he did hesitated. simply turned around to observe the movement in the middle of the mountain, and no longer paid attention to the two people in the scuffle.
Although Zhang Daniu was pressed under Zhao Xiaochuan, he couldn't stand his brute strength, Zhao Xiaochuan could only try his best to suppress Zhang Daniu, who was struggling indiscriminately, and had no strength to beat him again. In this way, the two formed a stalemate, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
Zhang Daniu's face was flushed with pain, and he wanted to struggle to turn over and press Zhao Xiaochuan under him, but Zhao Xiaochuan also used all his strength to suppress his resistance. Gradually, the stalemate between the two changed, and Zhang Daniu, who had the advantage of strength, showed his advantage.
Zhang Daniu's buttocks arched desperately, and with the strength of his head and upper body, he pushed Zhao Xiaochuan up little by little, and then threw Zhao Xiaochuan out with a force. Zhao Xiaochuan, who was thrown out, hit his head first, his head was heavily slammed into the muddy water, and his whole face was covered with muddy water. Zhao Xiaochuan tried his best to straighten his upper body, opened his mouth wide and wanted to spit out the muddy water and blades of grass poured into his mouth, but Zhang Daniu stepped heavily on his back, and the whole person was pressed into the muddy water again.
"I'll fuck you uncle" Zhao Xiaochuan let out a wolf-like roar, desperately broke away from Zhang Daniu's big feet on his back, and took out the bayonet on his waist and stabbed Zhang Daniu. Zhang Da Niu screamed, jumped and jumped on one leg and flashed to the side, and the skin on his right leg was still bleeding.
Zhao Xiaochuan got up and wiped a few handfuls on his face, cleaned up the muddy water in his mouth and nose, and then pounced on Zhang Daniu, who was already injured, with a bayonet. The bayonet just now only cut Zhang Daniu's right thigh, and the sharp bayonet cut through his military trousers, leaving a wound more than ten centimeters long on his thigh.
"Plop" Zhao Xiaochuan was kicked down by the angry beard, and the bayonet in his hand was also snatched by the beard. "Zhao Xiaochuan, what do you want to do? Da Niu is our own brother, do you even want to attack your own people? Hu Zi pointed at Zhao Xiaochuan, who was lying on the ground, with a bayonet and scolded, leaving no emotion at all.
"That is, if you have the ability, you can find a little devil to play and knife your own people, what kind of ability is it" Other veterans were also not used to Zhao Xiaochuan's style, and they blamed one after another. In the army, fights between soldiers are common, but they are only fought with their bare hands, and they will never be killed because they lose the fight. Zhao Xiaochuan had stabbed Zhang Daniu with a bayonet just now, but he was furious.
"The company commander is gone, and we all feel uncomfortable, but if you are still like this, I will not be able to protect you in the future" Beard threw down the bayonet in his hand and turned to check Zhang Daniu's injuries. Fortunately, Zhang Daniu's injuries were not serious, and he sprinkled hemostatic powder and wrapped gauze, and his actions were not affected much.
"Beard, did you say that the reinforcements are back? It's been raining for a few days in a row, will it be because of the rain that the regiment won't send people here" The veteran Ma Youtian asked the beard quietly. Ma Youtian was a soldier in the same year as Huzi, and he was also sent to Lambga for training, and he was also a veteran of the years. In the past few days, he has been muttering in his heart, if the reinforcements don't come, then their hundreds of people plus those foreign devils will become alone.
"Don't be foolish, the reinforcements will be back. I heard from the big-nosed foreigner yesterday that the old artillery was sent back again, and the regiment also sent Ye Tian's battalion together. I guess it's hard to walk in the jungle and delay the trip, maybe it's just a few days, so I want the brothers to cheer up and hold on for a few more days."
While the two were talking, they only heard a gunshot of "Bah", and Zhao Xiaochuan, who had just stepped out of the cover of the big stone, fell to the ground, and a large pool of blood had appeared under the body of the fall, and the pool of blood was still expanding. "Dead ball, knock down the heart, out of breath" Zhang Daniu dragged an injured leg and crawled over, flipped Zhao Xiaochuan's body over, checked it, and shouted towards the beard.
"Lie down, hide, it's the little devil's sharpshooter. The company commander was injured by them, don't show his head" Zhang Daniu, who slowly climbed back behind the big rock, pointed out a direction to Hu Zi according to the bullet holes on Zhao Xiaochuan's body, which was the direction that the Japanese snipers might be hiding.
"Damn, it would be nice if Uncle Guo was here, he also has sharpshooters under him, and he can't kill these little devils" The beard held his rifle and curled up in the muddy water and didn't dare to move. He had already aimed at a crater 20 meters away, and in that crater he should be able to find the location of the Japanese sniper, but the Japanese sharpshooter was too powerful, and the beard did not dare to rush over.
"Let's go back first, go to the trenches at the top of the hill and get our walkie-talkies, let's discuss it with the camp, and see how we can find a way to clean up these little devil sharpshooters," Beard instructed the veteran lying on the side of the big rock. No one responded for a long time, and after waiting for a long time, Zhang Daniu, who was on crutches, voluntarily climbed back to the trenches on the top of the mountain to get the walkie-talkie, everyone was already scared by the Japanese snipers, and no one dared to show their heads, let alone climb back to the top of the mountain.
