Hengling Pass is a pass on Nakajo Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Zhongtiao Mountain, in the many mountains crisscrossed by China, is only an inconspicuous small mountain range, its north is the Loess Plateau, the south is the Yellow River, it is connected to the Taihang Wangwu in the east, the bend of the Yellow River in the west, and Hengling Pass is in the middle of the Zhongtiao Mountain Range.

Although it is only one of the countless place names in China, compared to the high pass on the Great Wall, it is naturally not worth mentioning, but the importance of this mountain range to Zhongtiao Mountain is self-evident, both the Chinese and Japanese army are clear, no matter who occupies Hengling Pass, he is equivalent to controlling the seven inches of Zhongtiao Mountain. If Hengling Pass is still in the hands of the Japanese army, the Japanese army can directly take the YQ county town at the southern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain as a bridgehead, cross the Yellow River, approach Luoyang or Xi'an, win the Central Plains, and drive straight into the hinterland of China.

On the surface, the Japanese army only arranged a wing of troops at Hengling Pass, but the remaining two wings of the 33rd Division of the Japanese army, 214 and 215, were respectively in Z County and Sangchi behind Hengling Pass, and the three places were each other's horns, and once Hengling Pass was attacked, the Japanese army could rush to reinforcements within two hours, which was also one of the strength of the Japanese army.

However, the bombing of more than 10 P47s this morning not only made the Japanese troops of the 213th Wing see the might of the Huaxia Air Force, but also made the commander of the 33rd Division, who was far away in Sangchi, realize that the Chinese army was very likely to attack Hengling Pass, and he immediately recruited the chief of staff, Tetsujiro Tanaka.

"Tanaka-kun, is there any latest movement in the past two days in the Chinese army of Liaoyuan, X County and Wufujian?"

Tetsujiro Tanaka, who had a big pie face and a short figure, said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Your Excellency the division commander, this is what I just wanted to report to you, just yesterday at noon, the people of China transferred another unit, which was stationed less than 30 kilometers west of Hengling Pass, according to the intelligence of the special high-tech department, this unit belongs to the 11th Division of the 18th Army of the Civil Engineering Department of China, and belongs to one of the ace units in the Central Army of China. ”

"Eighteenth Army? Eleventh Division? Sakurai Province's face looked very solemn and did not make a sound for a long time, and only after a long time did he say: "The Eighteenth Army of China is Jiang's starting army, the Songhu War in the 12th year of Showa, and the third division of the empire were bloodied in Luodian, such a force is absolutely not to be underestimated, not to mention that now that the people of China have seized the air supremacy in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the situation of the imperial army is even worse." ”

Thinking that such an elite force had actually driven to the vicinity of Hengling Pass, Sakurai was nervous, and he took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Also, this morning, the people of China dispatched more than a dozen bombers to carry out a high-intensity bombardment of Hengling Pass, and Kawahara Youbing Dazuo reported that the 213th Wing killed and wounded more than 300 warriors in this bombing, and many pillboxes and fortifications were blown up." Tetsujiro Tanaka's voice was lowered.

"Yaga Yalu!" Sakurai Province scolded viciously, and I don't know if the scolding was whether the Huaxia Air Force was scolding the spirit of bushido or scolding Kawahara for the incompetence of the right Bing Dazuo.

After scolding, Sakurai thought about it for a while before saying: "Judging from the information just now, there is no doubt that the people of China will launch an attack on Hengling Pass, and the time is estimated to be in the two days of today and tomorrow, Hengling Pass is a strategic point and support point of Zhongtiao Mountain, and once it is lost, a chain reaction will occur, so Hengling Pass must not be lost!" ”

As he said this, Sakurai slammed the table viciously, making a thud.

Tanaka Tetsujiro said with some hesitation: "Your Excellency Division Commander, according to our original plan, the Hengling Pass garrisoned by the 213 Wing can at least withstand the attacks of the two divisions of the Zhina people, but judging from the current situation, they are facing the most elite 11th Division of the Central Army of the Zhina, maybe there is still air support, so the 213 Wing may be difficult to stop!" ”

"And what do you want?" Sakurai looked at Tetsujiro Tanaka and asked unhappily, "Do you want me to send reinforcements to him now?" Hengling Pass is important, but shouldn't Z County and Sangchi be guarded? Now that the people of Shina have not attacked, we are in a hurry to send reinforcements over, and if it is passed out and Commander Shinozuka knows, what will you let him think? I'm afraid that our 33rd Division will become the laughing stock of the First Army, right? ”

"This ......"

Tanaka Tetsujiro thought about it, the Huaxia people didn't start attacking now, so he hurriedly sent reinforcements, and it was really a shame to spread the word.

"So be it!" Sakurai Province Sanfen ordered: "You immediately order the 215th Wing stationed in Sangchi to get ready, and as soon as the Hengling Pass is tightened, we will immediately rush to their aid." ”

"Hay!" Tetsujiro Tanaka bowed to Sakurai and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Sakurai again.

"Wait!"

Sakurai asked with a solemn expression after stopping Tanaka, "Is there any movement in the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the garrison of the Shina people now?" ”

"Nope!" Tetsujiro Tanaka shook his head: "According to intelligence, these two divisions are still stationed in Gaoluo and Niutou Town, and there is no sign of any abnormal movement. ”

"Yo Xi!"

Hearing this, Sakurai Shengsan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that these two divisions don't make any movement, if these two divisions also participate in the attack on Hengling Pass, I'm afraid the 33rd Division will be really difficult to resist." ”

In fact, Sakurai Sansan still put gold on his face, if the first and second divisions of the garrison really launched an attack on Hengling Pass, Hengling Pass would have been lost long ago.

Tanaka Tetsujiro said with a smile: "Your Excellency the division commander, the biggest characteristic of the people of China is that they love to divide factions too much, and they also like infighting too much, if it weren't for the fact that the government of China is too jealous of the Third Army and is unwilling to give him the glory of occupying Hengling Pass, with the powerful attack power of these two divisions, I am afraid that the belonging of Hengling Pass is really difficult to say." But now, in order to show the face of the so-called Central Army, they have even transferred the 11th Division of China to the near and far, which shows that the government of China will never hand over the honor of capturing Hengling Pass to Su Jin and his Third Army, so that we can make some fuss. Your Excellency the Division Commander, I suggest that today we quietly transfer the 33rd Mountain Artillery Wing to Hengling Pass, and if the Zhina people launch an attack on Hengling Pass tomorrow, then we can rely on the condescending superiority of Hengling Pass to give the Zhina people a blow. ”

"Yo Xi, that's good!"

Sakurai nodded with satisfaction: "What Tanaka-kun said is very reasonable, since this is the case, then you immediately give an order to Long Fuzhongzuo, let him prepare for departure immediately, and before dark tonight, you must move the mountain artillery team to Hengling Pass!" ”

"Hai ......"

A day passed quickly, and night reigned again, and Kuroda Shoue sat in the trench and looked at the moon in the sky that radiated white light and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he habitually looked at his wrist, and it was already 4:33 in the morning. After a night of work, he felt a little sore in his lower back, and he lay on the cold ground with his hands crossed around his neck, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Yesterday morning, after the Huaxia air force carried out a burst of wanton bombardment of Hengling Pass, there was no movement, which made the Japanese commander of the 213th Wing, who originally thought that the Huaxia people would take the opportunity to launch an attack, breathed a sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that Kuroda Shoujiang, as a squad leader, naturally doesn't need to stand guard in person, but for some reason, he just couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and came to the position and looked at the distance in a daze, just like this, most of the night passed.

Just when Kuroda Shoujiang was in a daze, a slight sound of footsteps came from behind, and then a familiar voice sounded behind him: "Kuroda-kun, why don't you sleep and sit here alone in a daze?" ”

Kuroda Shoujiang didn't look back and said, "Aren't you still sleeping, Koike-kun, why are you still asking me what to do?" ”

It stands to reason that if a squad leader talks to a squadron leader, at least a slap in the face is inevitable, but for Kuroda Shoue and Koike Sheng, who grew up together, it is normal for them to talk in such a way.

Koike Sheng walked to Kuroda Shoujiang and sat down, only to see him stretch and moan comfortably, then he smiled: "Kuroda-kun, how did you feel about going to see Yuiko last night?" Do you feel like your body and mind are stretched? ”

"you!" Kuroda Shoujiang scolded with a smile and hammered his friend's shoulder hard.

Koike Sheng, who was punched, said disapprovingly: "What's this, I'm telling the truth." Two people who love each other naturally have to do something they love when they are together, are you running hard for half an hour to visit her just to join hands? ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, okay?" Faced with the ridicule of his friends, Kuroda Shoujiang could only choose to retreat, and he quickly changed the subject: "Koike-kun, do you think we can return to the mainland?" ”

Hearing this question, Koike Sheng, who was still teasing his friend just now, was silent, and after a long time, he whispered: "I don't know, Kuroda Shoue, why did you suddenly ask this question?" ”

Kuroda Shoujiang smiled bitterly: "Koike-kun, to be honest, when I rushed back this morning, I was suddenly scared when I saw those craters, collapsed bunkers, and wounded soldiers all over the ground. Really, I was scared, I was afraid that I would never see Yukiko again, I was afraid that I would never see my old mother at home again, and for the first time I had doubts about His Majesty's holy war, and I suddenly became cowardly! ”

Koike Sheng was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Kuroda-kun, it's good for you to say this sentence to me, don't mention it in front of others, if you let the captain know, he will definitely let you take your team as a standing team." I'm afraid you won't really see Yukiko at that time! ”

Kuroda's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice became a little louder: "But...... But I'm really scared, what do you think I'm going to do? ”

"Shut up!" Koike Sheng shouted in a calm voice: "Kuroda-kun, if you can't control your emotions yet, even if the people don't come to kill you, I'm afraid the captain will let you disembowelment first, if you still want to return to the homeland alive or see Yukiko, you can rot the words just now in your stomach, understand?" ”

Looking at Koike Sheng's extremely serious face, Kuroda Shoujiang could only forcibly suppress his excitement and nodded.

"Listen to me!" Koike Sheng looked at it word by word and said, "Actually, I'm also scared, and I also want to go back to see my parents alive." You guy has a girlfriend anyway, but I'm still fighting singles, and I don't want to die, but you have to know that your emotions just now are very dangerous, once you let outsiders know, not only you, but also your family will be affected by you! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Chi Sheng's tone slowly softened, he looked around, and said softly: "How can there be immortals in a war, if I don't make it, I will die under the guns of the people in tomorrow's battle." So you have to remember that if I die, when the war is over and you can return to your hometown, my parents at home will ask you. ”

"Hay!"

Kuroda Shoue agreed with red eyes, and then said: "I'm the same, Koike-kun, if I die Mitsuko, I'll bother you to bring her back to China." She's just a nurse and shouldn't have died here. ”

The two of them told each other about the future, and as they spoke, the sky slowly revealed a trace of fish maw, and it seemed that it would be bright in another half an hour.

Koike Sheng stood up, patted Kuroda Shoujiang on the shoulder, and said worriedly: "Okay, then I'll go over first, you must remember what I just said, understand?" With that, Koike turned around and left.

Kuroda Shoue nodded vigorously and waved his hand vigorously at Koike Sheng.

Just as Koike Sheng had walked less than thirty meters, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky. At first glance, the sound sounded like an old cow panting, but the breath was long and breathing like a sick old cow.

Before others could react, the faces of Kuroda Shoujiang **** Koike Sheng's two changed almost at the same time, and they shouted almost in unison: "It's not good, shelling...... Hide! ”

As soon as the words fell, the two of them paused, covered their ears with their heads in their hands and opened their mouths wide.

"Woo......"

A terrible whimper was heard, and a huge explosion rang out, and almost at the same time, a huge shockwave rushed to the place where Kuroda Shoue and Koike Seiki were located. Although it was not a direct hit, the strong shock wave still broke part of the fortifications, and the flying earth immediately buried the two people who were squatting on the ground.
