September 25, 5 a.m. The horizon is already white.

At this moment, a long dragon composed of earthy yellow and army green suddenly flashed in the distant mountain col. The long-awaited Japanese army finally appeared.

"Captain! Head! ”

Lei Zi, who had been vigilant all along, immediately woke up Yue Siliang, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, in a low voice like a startled wolf.

"Huh? The devil is coming? ”

Yue Siliang opened his eyes instantly, as if he had poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and suddenly sobered up. Set up a telescope and look along the northeast side of the col. In the field of vision, the Japanese troops and cars of the brigade drove towards this side.

"Call all the brethren up, let them all not move around yet, and do a good job of hiding and not being exposed!"

After receiving Yue Siliang's order, several battalion commanders and other cadres moved silently in the fortifications. After a while, the soldiers opened their eyes one after another, and the 424th Regiment, which had been recuperating for an hour, woke up.

"Commander, when are we going to do it?"

Looking at the Japanese army below, Huang Kebei was a little eager to try, and actively asked Yue Siliang to fight.

"Don't worry, our task is to seal the mouth of the bag. Let the devils who go in can't get out, and the devils outside can't get in. Now just come out of such a team of devils to do it? How can that work. Wait, tell the people below to be honest with me, and no one is allowed to show their heads. When I say it's time to do it, I'll start fighting. ”

Yue Siliang said without turning his head, and the telescope in his hand was not put down for a long time, looking at the convoy below with interest.

"The little devil is really rich, and he uses cars to transport troops. It seems that this should be the vanguard of the 5th Brigade of the 21st Division. Put them all in, the enemy we're going to fight is still behind. ”

The cars below were rumbling and driving, and since the first group of enemies appeared at five o'clock, the Japanese army had hardly broken the line of attack, and the enemy who had passed in front of Yue Siliang's eyes for more than two hours had to have two wings adding up, a full force of more than 2,000 Japanese troops.

"Double Seal, have all the preset firepower points been placed?"

"Commander, don't worry. I deliberately checked the side just now, and it was all ready, just waiting for your order. ”

"Okay, now it should be about the same time, as long as the main force makes a move, we will have to take the stage. Tell the rest of us to get ready, the battle could start at any moment. ”

Yue Siliang nodded with satisfaction, and twenty rings rang out from his waist. He rubbed back and forth on the cuffs, then looked at his watch again.

"It's seven o'clock now, and the main force is estimated to have already started, so we will have a few more minutes on our side. You all pay attention, as long as we hear the gunshots in the direction of Caijiayu, we will immediately close our mouths and cut off the way of the little devil. ”

"Yes......"

Several battalion commanders were all solemn.

"Okay, let's go back to the battalion and command, everything will go according to the previous battle plan."

……

The wait of a few minutes became extraordinarily long at this moment. Finally, a crisp gunshot reached Yue Siliang's ears, which was undoubtedly the signal he had been waiting for for a long time.

"Da Da Da ......"

With the first gunshot, then a series of gunshots rang out in the direction of Caijiayu. As soon as the gunshots rang out, the Japanese troops marching under the mountain on this side became alert.

However, how could Yue Siliang give them such an opportunity.

"Smack~~"

The first shot, symbolizing the signal of attack, was fired by Yue Siliang himself, and after more than ten years of fighting, Yue Siliang has developed a good marksmanship, which directly penetrated the windshield of the truck below and hit the driver in the head.

The driver was dead, the truck was a beating, and the Japanese soldiers standing on the body were staggered by inertia. It was at this time that the 424th Regiment finally showed its fangs.

"Yaga!"

A Japanese adjutant immediately reacted to the attack on the team, and with a bang, he drew his command knife and maintained order. After a brief period of confusion, the Japanese troops in the group below immediately stabilized and quickly jumped out of the car and used it as cover to counterattack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ……”

Although Yue Siliang had been mentally prepared before the firefight, the speed of the Japanese army's reaction was still greatly beyond his expectations. Although the brigade below is not equipped with two 79mm infantry guns as standard as other divisional brigades, the mortar configuration is surprisingly large. An artillery squadron got out of the car with a hula and a dozen mortars in extremely smooth motion. In just an instant, hail shells smashed on the positions of the 424th regiment.

"Phew!"

Yue Siliang spat fiercely, cleaning up the mud and sand that had splashed into his mouth.

"The reaction of these Japanese devils is really not slow, and the shelling is quite accurate! These artillery pieces must be pulled out! Also, be careful of the devil's heavy machine guns! They also have no less heavy machine guns! ”

As soon as Yue Siliang's words fell, a blood flower bloomed on the chest of several artillery soldiers on the Japanese position, and he fell to the ground. Not only these artillerymen, but also several Japanese machine gunners had just put up their machine guns and were shot and fell to the ground.

"Haha! The two hadrons, their hands are not slow! Knocked down a few devils so quickly! Just hit it like that! Single-handedly pick out their artillerymen and machine gunners for a roll call! ”

Yue Siliang hid in the fortifications, his eyes focused on the overall situation. When he saw the sharpshooters, he laughed excitedly.

"Yaga!"

His own artillerymen and machine gunners fell several times one after another, and the Japanese Nakasa naturally noticed it quickly. At that time, he judged the existence of a large number of snipers among the people who ambushed them, and subconsciously ducked behind the truck, and commanded his own snipers to counterattack.

The Japanese army's marksmanship is also notoriously accurate, because of the shortage of resources, the training standard of the infantry of the Japanese army's division is that the marksmanship of each infantry can meet the standard of sharpshooters, and the range and accuracy of the 38 big cover used by the Japanese infantry are also very high. Soon, the second hadron and his team of sharpshooters met their opponents.

"Smack!"

A sharpshooter hiding behind a rock was shot in the chest and fell to the ground.

"."

The second strongman, the captain of the sharpshooter, scolded, every sharpshooter in the 424th regiment was fed by Yue Siliang with bullets, and the loss of one was enough for him to be painful.

"Transfer the shot, don't die in one place!"

After a low roar, the second hadron lowered the muzzle of the gun and shrank into a bush of low trees, waiting for an opportunity to move.

All kinds of guns of the Japanese army fired at once, especially after the sharpshooters were entangled by the opponent's snipers, the 424th Regiment completely lost the means to effectively restrain the opponent's heavy weapons. For a time, the advantage caused by the ambush was leveled out by the Japanese army's powerful firepower.

However, the ferocious counterattack of the Japanese army was still expected by Yue Siliang, and their current combat mission was to block the enemy here, cut off the route of the enemy's large army, and buy time for their main forces, and now it seems that this strategic goal has been achieved. What's more, the battle has just begun, and his hole cards have not yet been taken out, and he has time to play with the little devil.

……

The devil's artillery shot for nearly 20 minutes, and they couldn't wait to plow the entire hill where the 424th Regiment was located. This arrogance really made Yue Siliang greedy, if he was as rich as Little Japan, he wouldn't be able to spend so much effort to figure out tactics.

Hiding in the fortifications, Yue Siliang thought indignantly, and did not forget to turn his head to talk to Di Hanming.

"It seems that the tactical level of the Japanese army is at most like this in mountain warfare, and heavy artillery can't be brought in at all, and small-caliber guns like this pose no threat to our fortifications. When their arrogance is over, it's time for us to exert our power. ”

Regarding Yue Siliang's self-confidence, Di Hanming just smiled and didn't say anything. He has always been decent in the military, and his years of cooperation experience tell him not to raise the bar with Yue Siliang in military affairs.

"Yo Xi~~"

The adjutant who hid behind the bunker and used a telescope to watch the position of the 424th Regiment on the mountain smiled proudly. Experience told him that no Chinese army could withstand an artillery bombardment of this scale, and perhaps now they could march in formation to the enemy positions to pick peaches. The telegraph operator had just received news that the vanguard of their brigade had been ambushed in the Qiaogou area, and now they could immediately go to support as long as they pulled out the obstacle in front of them, which was not even a nail.

"Stomp ...... Stomping ......"

After the artillery fire was extinguished, the Japanese began to line up in a tight line. Flashing his bright bayonet, he pressed towards the position of the 424th Regiment on the hill in unison.

"Alas~~, what a pity. The queue of the little Japanese is really beautiful, and if such a queue had been placed before World War I, it would definitely be a symbol of a strong army. It's a pity......"

Yue Siliang, who was hiding in the fortifications, did not forget to say cool words. The Japanese shelling just now actually did not cause many casualties to the 424th Regiment. Although the time left for them to build the fortifications was not long, and it was not enough to dig a large cat ear hole that could accommodate a dozen or twenty people, it was no problem to dig a large number of small cat ear holes that could accommodate four or five people.

The Japanese army's queue was now halfway up the mountain, and it was only more than 200 meters away from the fortifications. At this moment, Yue Siliang suddenly put down the telescope.

"The little devil's three-plank axe is finished, now it's time for us to exert our might! Don't worry about your belongings! Hit me hard! If we win this battle, we will have everything! ”

With Yue Siliang's words, the hidden earth and rocks were pushed away in the places that had been ignored by the Japanese artillery fire dozens of meters away on both sides of the fortifications. Behind the earth and rocks are four small fortifications with complex structures, which are grouped in pairs, and one group is about 100 meters apart. Hidden in these scattered fortifications is the muzzle of the black hole of the four Maxim machine guns!
