The source of the Guan River is in the Dabie Mountain, passing through the small boundary ridge, flowing northward along the west slope of Huangbai Mountain, gradually widening and deepening.

On the same day, Brigade Commander Chen led his troops west out of Huangbai Mountain, crossed the stone bridge, and raided an unnamed mountain on the west bank of the Guan River, and used it as an outpost position to launch an attack on the left flank position of the Caochang detachment.

Later, the battle stalemate, Brigade Commander Chen led the main force north, and still left two battalions to hold this position to threaten the left flank of the Caochang detachment!

Today, this nameless mountain is still one of the focal points of contention between the two sides.

Under the scorching sun, the nameless mountains were shrouded in colorful mist, the sound of artillery stopped, the gunfire dispersed, and the shouts of killing disappeared...... In the mist, the nameless mountains are silent and mysterious.

"Click, click......"

A group of little devils, wearing gas masks and chemical protection suits, burrowed into the fog and touched the mountains.

This time...... Let's take the opposite position smoothly!

Captain Yoshizawa tightened the saber in his hand, and his steps were a little firmer...... Three rounds of special ammunition have already been released, and the people of China, who do not even have gas masks...... It's time to die, right?

"Uh-uh......"

"Ahem......"

Weak moans and muffled coughs loomed.

Captain Yoshizawa was stunned, is there anyone still alive? The people of China are really tenacious! However, no matter how tenacious they are, they will definitely not be able to withstand such torture!

Captain Yoshizawa waved his saber and quickened his pace.

"Bang ......"

A group of little devils also carried bayonets, followed, waded over the hillside, climbed up the hill, and rushed to the edge of the trench.

The trenches were filled with smoke, corpses were piled up, moans and coughs were heard one after another, and Captain Yoshizawa was relieved to rush in with his sword.

"Bang ......"

Gunshots exploded in the trenches, and fires burst out!

"Whew......"

A bullet broke through the fog and slammed into Captain Yoshizawa's chest!

"Yaga!" Captain Yoshizawa was furious, and hurriedly pounced, "snort......", the bullet grazed the steel helmet, sparks flew everywhere, "poof", Captain Yoshizawa fell to the ground, stiff!

"Bang ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

"Woo Woo ......"

Immediately after, bullets rained down from the trenches like locusts!

"Puff puff ......"

Bloodsplatter!

"Ahhh......h

Screams erupted!

Most of the little devils were not as lucky as Captain Yoshizawa, and they fell into the fog one after another.

Second Lieutenant Murakami collapsed to the ground, desperately trying to cover the blood gushing from his chest, but how could he cover it?

So so?

Second Lieutenant Yoshimura was full of unwillingness...... This is clearly an ambush by the Chinese people!

How so?

"Bang ......"

The remnants of the little devils hurriedly counterattacked, and bullets flew in the fog!

"Woohoo...... Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Grenades flew out of the trenches and rained down, bursting into flames.

"Yaga!" By the light of the fire, Captain Yoshizawa clearly saw that the defenders were wearing gas masks!

"Withdraw...... Withdraw ......"

Captain Yoshizawa fell into an ice cave, brandished his saber, and fled!

At the headquarters of the Shinohara's brigade, Shinohara's Shaozo looked at Captain Yoshizawa who fled back in embarrassment, and was furious, "Yaga! What's going on? ”

Captain Yoshizawa hurriedly took off his gas mask, his face turned pale, "They have gas masks...... The people of China have gas masks......"

Shinohara, Shaozo, was stunned, "It's impossible to ......"

"It's true," the escaped little devils argued, "they wore gas masks...... All with gas masks! ”

The defenders are indeed wearing gas masks!

It is true that the sixty-fifth and sixty-seventh regiments did not have gas masks, however, the sixty-sixth regiment did!

The 66th Regiment seized more than 1,000 gas masks from the Kumamoto Brigade, and after deducting the loss, there were more than 500 left to use, which had already been used once on the Yokoyama Ridge.

Li Siwei got the order, and immediately rushed over with the team, taking over the position between the little devils' attacks.

More than 500 gas masks were equipped with the best preserved second battalion, and the surplus masks were distributed to the medical platoon and supply company to form the line of fire ambulance team...... The others remained in the mountains as reserves!

When Li Siwei took the second battalion into the trenches, he only saw a scene like hell on earth, and hurriedly called the ambulance team.

The ambulance team carried them to the Huangbai Mountain.

Ambulating the wounded, Li Siwei can't help, but he is good at revenge!

By the time the Shinohara brigade's gas bombs smashed into the mountain again, the fire points had already been arranged on the mountain, waiting for the little devil to enter the urn!

So, the Yoshizawa squadron naturally made the turtle in the urn...... A squadron only escaped back with thirty or fifty people, and in the blink of an eye, one hundred and ten corpses were thrown down!

A corpse is a gas mask!

Without waiting for Li Siwei's orders, the brothers touched it and pulled out the gas masks!

What the defenders lack most is a gas mask!

On the Xiaojieling position, only officers above the company commander level were given a gas mask.

When the gas bombs were smashed, the officers and soldiers without gas masks had to resign themselves to their fate...... Countless people have died of poisoning and lost their combat effectiveness!

Colorful fog filled the small boundary ridge, and the sound of coughing and screaming echoed in the air.

At the headquarters of the 30th Division, Division Commander Zhang grabbed the phone and burst into tears, "Junzuo, this battle can't be fought......"

"Hui stop," Commander Sun interrupted him softly, his voice was harsh, "I understand the suffering of the brothers, but ...... The chairman of the committee has already gone to Macheng in person...... There is no way back! ”

"Junzuo ......" Master Zhang was stunned and speechless.

The chairman of the committee has arrived in Macheng, and the Third Corps really has no way to retreat!

"Hui stop," Commander Sun took a deep breath, "Trust me, there will always be a time when the little devil's gas bomb will run out...... and they consume, you are exhausted, Lao Tzu will go to ...... As long as the gas bombs of the little devils are exhausted, victory is ours! ”

After listening silently, Master Zhang was silent for a while, and then smiled slowly, smiling freely, "Yes!" It's a waste of ...... with dogs."

The veterans will complain and cry out because they feel that there is hope, and when they laugh, they will accept their fate!

The man promised the country with his body, which is nothing more than a horse leather shroud!

"Hui stops......" Commander Sun shouted, but he didn't know how to continue, and finally squeezed out two words with difficulty, "Take care!" ”

"Smack"

Hanging up the phone gently, Division Commander Zhang turned his head to look at the chief of staff, "Only one integrated company will be kept in the front-line position, and all the gas masks will be handed over to them...... The others retreated to the second-line positions, ready to fill the first-line positions at any time! ”

On the left flank position, Division Commander Chi also issued a similar order, "Consume!" Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, the little devil's gas bomb can't be finished yet! ”

In such a fierce battle, how can there be endless ammunition?

By sunset, the Shinohara's brigade had fired thousands of poison gas bombs at the Huangbai Mountain position, and the defense line of the 66th Regiment was still impregnable, but Shinohara's Shaozo had already thundered, "Yaga! What about special bombs? Why did it run out so quickly? ”

"Shao Zuo," the staff officer reminded stubbornly, "the main direction of our army's attack is ...... Xiaojieling"

"Yaga!" Shinohara, Shaozo, waved his hand helplessly, "Pause the attack......"

The special ammunition is gone, and the soldiers who have been fighting hard for days also need to rest.

On the position of the Nameless Mountain, the colorful fog gradually dissipated, Li Siwei breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, took off his gas mask, and took a few deep breaths, "Holy shit, it's finally over!" ”

"Turtle's," Liao Heiniu also took off his gas mask and looked at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, "The little devils are rampant, now it's the turn of the old men to exert their power, right?" ”

He knew that when facing the little devil, Li Siwei was by no means a master who was willing to suffer!

Li Siwei was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about it when it's dark!" The casualties of the brothers were too great...... The 65th and 67th regiments could not be counted on, and there were less than 300 men left in the first battalion...... Your battalion is a little more than 300...... There were less than four hundred people left in the third battalion...... Think about it! ”

Soon, Miao Zhenhua hurried away and called Lu Quanyou, Shi Meng, Huang Hua, Sun Dali and other generals.

Everyone went straight to the bomb shelter, knowing that it was twilight before they hurried away.

At night, the wind was slightly cool, and the sound of guns and cannons and shouts of killing in the direction of Xiaojieling also stopped abruptly!

Night, quiet and peaceful!

Wei Yidao and his brothers brought hot steamed buns and fragrant canned soup, and the brothers had a full meal.

The smell of canned soup also wafted from the camp of the little devils, and it drifted to the mountains with the night wind...... I just got the airdrop supplies, and the little devil's food is not bad.

After the meal, Li Siwei came out of the air-raid shelter with a relaxed expression, "Brothers, I haven't sung for a long time...... Tonight, let's sing one, right? ”

"Okay," the brothers were stunned and their spirits lifted, "It's just that I haven't sung for a long time...... What to sing? ”

Someone immediately answered, "Of course, it's singing "Defending Great Wuhan"!" ”

Someone chimed in, "Okay, just sing this song!" ”

Some people also shook their heads, "Lao Tzu still likes to sing "China Will Not Die"......"

"Okay," Li Siwei smiled, "Sing "Defend Great Wuhan" first...... The blood is boiling in Poyang, and the sparks are flying in the Yangtze River......"

Li Siwei raised his head, his voice excited.

"The blood is boiling in Poyang, the sparks are flying in the Yangtze River, and the whole country has issued a violent roar to defend the ...... of Wuhan"

The brothers echoed in their voices, and their passionate singing voices drifted away in the night wind.

On the Xiaojie Ridge, the soldiers who had just finished eating dry food heard the floating singing, and they were all in high spirits, "It's Huangbai Mountain...... Those guys from the 16th Brigade are in good spirits! ”

Someone laughed and agreed, "This song is really imposing......"

Someone shook his head, "It's still the military songs of Lao Tzu that are ...... energetic."

Someone was eager to try, "That'...... Lao Tzu also sang? ”

"Yes," the crowd quickly chimed in, "sing, sing...... Just sing the military songs of Lao Tzu......"

Master Chi walked out and sang as soon as he opened his mouth, "We fought in Taierzhuang and swore to wipe out the devils ......"

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly reconciled, with an excited expression, "We fought in Taierzhuang and swore to wipe out the devils." Kill the enemy to protect the position, wave the army north to Lugou Bridge. Brother fight, don't retreat, defend the family and defend the country and call it heroic! ”

The voice was hoarse and tired, and the song was impassioned, rising into the sky, drifting away with the night wind.

The headquarters of the grassland detachment, Major General Caochang, listened to the singing voice and frowned, "Baga, what are the people doing in China?" ”

Yada Osa listened to it and was also a little puzzled, "...... are they singing?"

"Singing?" Major General Kusaba was stunned and turned his head to look at the interpreter, "What song are they singing?" ”

The translator was stunned for a moment, and his face hesitated, "Report to Your Excellency Major General, what are they singing...... Singing ......"

When he was in a dilemma, he heard the sound of Japanese singing outside the headquarters, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

"Yaga, this is a folk song from Kyoto," Major General Kusaba really diverted his attention, stood up suddenly, grabbed his saber and walked angrily outside the headquarters, "Who made them sing folk songs?" ”

"Major General," Yada Osa hurriedly followed, whispering to dissuade, "After days of hard fighting, the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted......"

"Yaga Yalu!" Major General Caochang's footsteps did not stop, and his anger did not subside, "The warriors of the Caochang detachment should be tireless......"

"Major General ......" Yada Osa was stunned, and persuaded again, "The soldiers are ...... Homesick! ”

Major General Kusaba froze in his steps, "I want to ...... Homesick? ”

Yada Osa didn't speak again, and looked up at the night sky, the cold moon in the sky was like a hook, and the lone star was like a bean...... yes, homesick...... The moon in Kyoto is rounder, isn't it? The stars are brighter in Kyoto, right?

Major General Kusaba froze in place, the saber in his hand hung weakly to the ground, slowly raised his head, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and his voice was low and sad, "Yada-kun, Ryoko said in my last letter...... She also wants to join the army, and she says that she is proud of me as a father! ”

"Miss Ryoko?" Yada Osa was stunned, "The major general agreed?" ”

"No," Rear Admiral Kusaba shook his head lightly and sighed, "Yada-kun, we all know what the battlefield is like...... How could I bear to involve her? ”

"Yes," Yada Osa sighed, "Miss Ryoko is only fifteen years old!" She's so beautiful, so smart...... She deserves a better life! ”

Major General Kusaba frowned, "However, the war has already begun...... Ryoko will also grow up slowly...... If she can't end this battlefield as soon as possible, she will be drawn into it sooner or later......"

Yada Osa was stunned and speechless...... This is a war to the death, how to end it without distinguishing between winners and losers? However, the bones of the Shina people were too hard...... Victory is far away!

Yada Daisa was silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Major General Kusaba suddenly turned his head to look at Yada Daisa, and smiled softly, "Yada-kun, let's go sing a song too!" ”

"Hey!" Yada Osa also smiled, "Your Excellency Major General's singing voice is very moving!" ”

In the night sky, singing is flying.

At the Nameless Mountain position, the brothers of the Second Battalion sang "Defending Great Wuhan" and "China Will Not Die", but listening to the singing of little devils floating in the night sky, they were a little unwilling and sang again.

Li Siwei shook his head with a smile, got into the air-raid shelter, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

Liao Heiniu also followed, "Give Lao Tzu one!" ”

Li Siwei smiled and threw the crumpled cigarette case over, "Lao Tzu will give you a box!" ”

Liao Heiniu took the cigarette case and took it out, "Turtle's, obviously there is only one left!" ”

Li Siwei glared at him, "Wang Liugen sent cigarettes to Lao Tzu, you asked Lao Tzu for cigarettes...... Why is the gap so big? ”

Liao Heiniu lit the cigarette and took a puff beautifully, "What's wrong?" Lao Tzu is your master! ”

Li Siwei was stunned, speechless, and smoked fiercely.

Liao Heiniu suddenly smiled, "The little devil sings softly, just like a girl!" When Lao Tzu heard this, he panicked for them! ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Turtle'er, your idea is too ......"

He really couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he had to laugh, "There are times when they cry!" ”
