After an artillery bombardment that lasted for more than ten minutes, the Purple Mountain position, which had been quiet for a while, once again resounded with fierce gunfire and explosions. The Japanese army in charge of the attack and the national army in charge of blocking it once again engaged in a fierce confrontation around the Purple Mountain position.

Such an attack had lasted for two days and one night, and the Japanese army, as the attacking side, still failed to get close to the position of the Purple Mountain. As soon as the shelling stopped, the defenders of the position soon appeared, desperately blocking the Japanese troops who were storming the mountain.

The captain of the Japanese army who was in charge of the command in the rear looked at the attacking troops who were repulsed again, and said with a very unhappy expression: "Baga! These Chinese armies are so hateful, they have been fighting for so long, are they still tireless? ”

The Japanese troops who decided to continue the night battle also felt that the fierce battle had been fighting for so long, even if there were surviving defenders on the position, I believe that they would not be able to hold on at this time. Moreover, if you attack at night, it is more conducive to keeping the attacking troops hidden.

Although the idea was good, the tenacity of the rest of the 3rd Brigade and 5th Regiment of the Teaching Corps in the Purple Mountain position exceeded the prediction of the Japanese army. As the most well-equipped and hard-trained unit in the combat sequence of the national army, the three brigades and five regiments also live up to the name of elite!

Standing on the Japanese artillery position that had just been occupied, listening to the gunfire coming from the Purple Mountain, Hu Biao quickly said: "Quickly adjust the artillery position and prepare for the shelling." Squads, get ready for engagement and get moving! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

After a hearty hand-to-hand killing battle, every warrior felt his blood boiling at the moment. Even though the bloody atmosphere of the position was a little heavy, it still couldn't stop the soldiers from moving quickly and starting the operation according to the previous division of labor.

Looking at the mountain guns placed on the artillery position, Hu Biao only adjusted the direction of six of the mountain guns, and moved to aim at the gun port of Purple Mountain to the rear base camp of the Japanese army not far away. For the rest of the mountain artillery, the angle of fire began to be adjusted.

There were fighters who were responsible for moving the relatively bulky guns, and there were also fighters who were responsible for moving the shell boxes next to the gun emplacements. As for Hu Biao's words, while adjusting the position and angle of the mountain artillery, he explained the essentials of artillery to the soldiers.

Although it was the first time to come into contact with this kind of Qiwu Mountain Cannon, the soldiers only needed to be responsible for throwing shells and pulling the bolts, and Hu Biao was responsible for adjusting the gun position. Therefore, such a task is naturally not a big problem for the fighters of the guard platoon.

Although they have never fought mountain artillery, the soldiers of the guard platoon can skillfully operate infantry guns. Although the power of the two cannons is somewhat different, the operation process is mostly the same, and with a little guidance, Hu Biao feels that these soldiers are all right.

After all the artillery was adjusted, listening to the still clear gunfire on the Purple Mountain, Hu Biao said loudly: "Brothers, on the Purple Mountain in front, there are still brothers from our anti-Japanese army who are holding on. Shall we help? ”

"Yes! Fry his bitch-raised little devil! ”

"Good! Although as soon as the cannon is fired, the surrounding little devils will definitely rush to reinforcements quickly. But this time we actually came, and it was turned upside down in the back of the little devil. The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, let's play with the little devil in this battle! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Good! Gunners in position, ready! Put! ”

Hu Biao, who didn't hesitate too much, saw that Qin Tianyou and Hu Minyi were ready to block the attack, and Hu Biao, who didn't want to delay time, immediately ordered the cannon to be fired. When the attacking and defending armies on the Purple Mountain heard the sound of artillery behind them, they were also startled.

The defenders, who were trying their best to block the Japanese attack, said with a shocked face: "Not good! The little devils are starting to shoot again! ”

The little devil who was attacking with all his strength said confusedly: "What about Na? Why did the artillery open fire at this time? Yaga, this will cause accidental injury! We're still on the offensive with all our might! Damn, what are these artillerymen eating? ”

The troops of the attacking and defending sides are not far from each other. At this distance, unless the artillery extended the shells, it was easy to accidentally injure the attacking Japanese troops. Just waiting for the shells to come down, everyone was dumbfounded.

Watching the shells explode in the rear of the little devil attacking troops, the little devils attacking in front were stunned, and the defenders who stayed in the position were stupid. No one could figure out what was going on.

At the same time, the Japanese troops who were attacking the Purple Mountain saw the sound of explosions in the rear camp, and the Japanese infantry captain in charge of the attack said with a shocked face: "Baga! Not good, our artillery positions are occupied by the enemy! ”

On the other hand, Liu Guotong and the others, who were staying in the main peak position, looked at the shells that kept smashing into the little devil's offensive position, and remembered the telegram they had received before, and these officers said in disbelief: "Oh my God! Could it be that they robbed the artillery positions? ”

"Quite possibly! Immediately send a report to the captain to inform him of the situation here, and at the same time ask if he can break through. In addition, all troops were ordered to prepare for a counter-charge, and as soon as the artillery fire stopped, all the attacking little devils were driven down the mountain. ”

"Yes!"

As a temporary commander, Liu Guotong quickly realized that this was a golden opportunity. Taking advantage of the little devils' own confusion, if they fight a wave of counterattacks, they should be able to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese troops who are attacking them.

But whether to counterattack and break through, you still have to get the permission of the captain Gui Shuzhen. At this time, the guard company, which had been lurking on the periphery of the Japanese army, also saw that the rear barracks of the little devils were bombed, and the little devils who were resting were instantly blown up.

Only Xu Sandao, who had been lurking nearby, said to Liu Quan, who was beside him: "The battalion commander has succeeded!" Company Commander Liu, do you remember the task I gave you earlier? I won't have much time left for you, so I'll move closer to me as soon as I get my hands on it, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Good! Let's go! Remember, there is gunfire there, so you take your troops to a place where there is a lot of gunfire. Also, when you attack later, be sure to inform your subordinates that the person with a white towel on his hand is one of our people, so remember it! ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go!"

"A company of guards, follow me!"

According to Hu Biao's previous order, the task of the first guard company was to take advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army to fight at the foot of the Purple Mountain to meet the troops on the mountain to break through. Then break through the troops, join up with Hu Biao as soon as possible, and encircle and annihilate the Japanese army around Purple Mountain.

Although the Japanese army deployed a bit of a large number of troops near the Purple Mountain, under the conditions of night fighting, once a chaotic battle begins, a large number of troops may not necessarily have an advantage. What Hu Biao and his entourage have to do is to disrupt the deployment and rhythm of the Japanese army.

watched Liu Quan lead a company of guards under his command to run in the direction of Purple Mountain, while Xu Sandao led the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad under his command to the rear camp of the Japanese army shrouded in artillery fire and observed every move of the Japanese troops in the camp.

Every time I saw the shell kill the little devil, Xu Sandao and others lurking in the shadows, they would say excitedly: "It's a good explosion!" ”

And Xu Sandao turned back from time to time and said: "Block the surroundings of the camp, and once there is a little devil patrol to help, wipe them all out immediately!" ”

"Understood!"

Even if there are many little devils stationed in the military camp in front, Xu Sandao really wants to lead people to rush in and kill them. But he knew that it would be easy to cause accidental injury. After all, every once in a while, a couple of shells fell into the rear barracks of the little devils.

What they really have to do is to deal with all the patrols that the little devils sent to the surrounding area before. The more patrols are killed, the more the vigilant forces on the periphery of the little devils are eliminated, and the Japanese army will be ignorant of the surrounding situation.

When the little devils deployed nearby were about to return to the camp for reinforcements, Xu Sandao, who was lurking on both sides of the road, suddenly ordered: "Fight!" ”

Under the fire of submachine guns and machine guns, and at such a close distance, these Japanese patrols, which were mostly composed of detachments, soon fell in a pool of blood. The gunfire stopped, and there were no living people in sight on the mountain road.

"Quick! Clean up the battlefield and throw these corpses aside. Go ahead and keep lurking! ”

only picked up the weapons and ammunition carried by the little devils, and as for other things, Xu Sandao and the others didn't ask for anything, and directly discarded the corpse in the grass on the side of the road. Then the group ran to the grass in front of the mountain road and lurked.

In the rear camp of the Japanese army that was suddenly shelled, many little devils were asleep at this time, and after being awakened, most of them looked a little dazed. By the time they finally came to their senses, the whole camp was in shambles.

When an officer realized that the artillery position next to them might be occupied, an officer quickly said: "Send troops immediately to recapture our artillery position." Damn, how did the enemy do it? ”

In the opinion of these officers, there were also troops on the side of the artillery position responsible for guarding, and there were also many patrols on the side of the rear barracks. It stands to reason that there was a large force launching a surprise attack from the rear, and they should have discovered it a long time ago.

But at the moment, they were completely confused, and they didn't know who the attackers were or how many there were. The only thing that can be confirmed is that their rear barracks are in the midst of the enemy's frenzied artillery bombardment.

When someone heard the gunfire coming from outside the barracks and realized that there was a firefight, they were about to send troops to check, but found that the gunfire had stopped. And the sound of gunfire like this soon resounded throughout the night sky near the Purple Mountain.

It was as if there was a firefight everywhere, and it was as if there were enemies everywhere. But in fact, many Japanese soldiers did not see any trace of the enemy at all. So what's going on with these gunshots? All this made the Japanese commander confused and dazed.

At this time, Gui Shuzhen, who was staying at the headquarters waiting for news and was ready to break through at any time, looked at the two telegrams received one after another, and immediately said: "Order the fifth regiment to break through immediately!" After going down the mountain, cooperate with Lieutenant Colonel Hu to break through the siege! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

"Command! The 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment immediately broke through in the southeast direction of the Purple Mountain, and if they encountered a small group of Japanese troops, they must be completely annihilated. Strive to open a breakthrough channel in the shortest possible time for the follow-up large forces to break through.

The rest of the troops, in accordance with the previously agreed order of breakthrough, are waiting for notification at any time. The remnants of the 3rd and 4th regiments, as the Chinese army, broke through with me later. Ordered the officers and men of the whole army that if they want to live, they must work hard, and only by breaking through the encirclement can we have a way to live! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Knowing the sound of artillery on the side of the Purple Mountain, the Japanese troops stationed around the Purple Mountain will urgently rush to the northeast to assemble. Then in the southeast direction, the Japanese army must not have many troops deployed.

The two regiments with the strongest firepower of the corps served as the vanguard of the breakthrough, hoping to open a bloody road. When the follow-up troops break through the city one after another, this bloody road will also be stabilized to ensure that the follow-up troops can get out of the city safely!
