"Wing Commander, a report from the front line that the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army have been lost in the area of Muniangshan and Youloushan."

After listening to Kato's words, Sasaki was completely unmoved.

"The Eighth Route Army's suspicious formation, vainly trying to use this means to confuse us, the more at this time, the more we can not mess up our positions, keep the encirclement unchanged, as long as it is more than half an hour of dawn, I will immediately ask for aircraft support, then these Eighth Route Army hidden in the mountains will have nothing to hide."

Sasaki, as the commander, although he had already guessed that he might have fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army at this time, the more he did at the moment, the more he made mistakes, and it was the safest to keep the situation unchanged.

……

In the sand ditch, after two cold shots in a row, all parts of the 424th Regiment were basically quietly transferred here.

"Commander, it's about to dawn. Time is running out. ”

The last team to be built was the second battalion, and Liu Chuan watched as the bright color of the sky had begun to change from a line to a small section of the sun. A first sun and a waning moon are in the sky, which is a sign that the light of the sky is about to brighten.

"There is no trace of the devil within five kilometers of the surrounding area, and we have now gone around behind the devil. Ten kilometers in front of us is Maliang, as long as we cross Maliang, even if we enter the White Horse area, then we can successfully meet the brigade commander. ”

Yue Siliang put down his binoculars and raised his hand to point to the mountains in the distance. Among them, there are two relatively tall and steep mountains, which are also the "horse beams" in Yue Siliang's mouth.

"Captain, let's go."

Wang Shuangyin coordinated the specific arrangements for each ministry to break through for a while, and immediately came over to remind Yue Siliang. Now he only hopes that the whole regiment can be planned as soon as possible, and there will be no more mistakes.

"Got it. The second battalion responded in the middle and in the front, did a good job of vigilance, and set off with the whole regiment! ”

The military order was like a mountain, and an order was issued, and the whole regiment immediately began to march towards Maliang at the fastest speed.

……

Step by step, the sun walked out of the mountains, and the night was completely gone. Although it was not a long time, it was a long wait for Sasaki.

"Kato, go and ask the brigade commander for instructions and ask for aircraft support."

As soon as the morning dawned, Sasaki immediately planned to ask for air force support, and what he wanted to do most now was to find out the 424th Regiment hidden in the mountains.

"Wing Captain ......"

However, to Sasaki's surprise, Kato, who has always obeyed orders, stood there without moving.

"What's wrong?"

"Wing Commander, I just received a report that the Eighth Route Army appeared behind us and is now fleeing in the direction of Baima......"

"What?!"

Sasaki looked incredulous.

"It can't be! How could they have escaped from the encirclement under such a blockade as ours and not run into any troops? Don't go after it yet! ”

Knowing that now was not the time for anger and confusion, he immediately gave the order to pursue.

The 424th Regiment finally appeared, and the devils in the east of the entire White Horse were like wolves that had seen meat, and they all pounced towards the 424th Regiment. However, their discovery was still a step too late after all, the 424 regiment transferred from the trench had already distanced itself from the devils, and when they found the 424 regiment, Yue Siliang and they had already driven away with the team. Facing the 424 regiment that has gone out for a long time, the devil is simply out of reach!

"Commander, the devil has discovered us."

Listening to the report of the signal corps, Yue Siliang seemed very calm and calm.

"It's okay, the devil can't catch up with us now, and in less than half an hour, we will be able to cross Ma Liang smoothly!"

The march of the 424th Regiment began to pick up speed, and Ma Liang can now be said to be in front of him. After crossing the road between the two hills of Maliang, they were able to enter the White Horse area smoothly.

"It's Ma Liang in front."

Looking at the two mountains in front of him, a faint trace of excitement appeared in Yue Siliang's heart. However, when he was only a kilometer away from Ma Liang, Yue Siliang found a group of devils on the mountains on both sides!

"Da Da Da ......"

Yue Siliang discovered the devil, and the devil naturally saw the 424 regiment under the mountain very clearly.

"Hidden !!"

Hearing the gunshots, Yue Siliang instantly aroused a white sweat, immediately shouted and quickly looked for cover. The first row of soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

"How can there be devils here?!"

Di Hanming hid behind Yue Siliang, looked at the devils on the two mountains, and shouted loudly in Yue Siliang's ear.

"The terrain here is dangerous, so it's not surprising that there are devils. Punch it through in one go! As long as we break through this pass, we will be successful in breaking through! ”

In the face of the devil's attack, Yue Siliang immediately organized a counterattack.

"Da Da Da ......"

The two hills of Maliang are very special, there is a mountain more than fifty meters high on each side of this road more than 30 meters wide, and there is less than a squad on these two hills, but there are two machine gun squads on one side! The four heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the vanguard of the 424th Regiment, which was pressed by several hundred people, was beaten in a mess!

"Commander, the firepower of this group of devils is too fierce! We can't attack it! ”

Bai Lin, who led the leading team with Yue Siliang, shouted loudly, and their first battalion took out all the light and heavy machine guns and fired at the devils on the mountain.

The terrain of Maliang is dangerous, these two mountains are one left and one right, just like two high-headed horses, and the two horses are guarding here and stopping the 424 regiment here!

"Captain! We don't have much time! If the devils behind us catch up, our previous efforts will be in vain! ”

Wang Shuangyin said anxiously, he understood that what was in front of him was a godsend for the 424th Regiment. Four heavy machine guns are much stronger than the heavy defense line of thousands of devils anyway.

"Da Da Da ......"

A series of bullets swept across the boulder bunker in front of Yue Siliang, making craters one after another on the boulder, and accumulating thick stone dust on the ground.

"There are not many devils on the mountain, you have to believe the brigade commander at this time!"

Yue Siliang gritted his teeth and said that this was the best location he had chosen after some contemplation. As long as they work together with the large army and penetrate here, then this breakthrough will be a real success.

"Regiment commander, the brigade headquarters gave a reply, it will take half an hour."

Cheng Fei, who managed the radio station, anxiously reported to Yue Siliang.

"Half an hour ......"

Yue Siliang held his mouth and repeated, without saying anything, half an hour was still a little too long in his plan.

"Boom !!"

The only infantry gun in the regiment fired, but the first shell was not very effective, and the deviation of this shell was more than fifty meters!

The artillery of the 424th Regiment has always been in charge of mortars before, but there is still a certain difference between mortars and infantry guns.

"Missed!"

Zhang Chi shouted angrily, every second is very precious for the whole group now. The misfired shot was a serious mistake.

The artillery did not respond to Zhang Chi's words, and immediately carried out a series of operations such as returning the shell, observing and calculating. The artilleryman in charge of the calculation crawled on the ground and kept writing and calculating on straw paper with a pencil, and suddenly he jumped up with a straight shot.

"I've figured it out!"

He excitedly handed over the results of his calculations to the gunner, who immediately cleaned the barrel and loaded the shell after reading it.

"Lao Hai, you can be sure, we don't have many shells."

Zhang Chi said nervously on the side, and the gunner Lao Hai just nodded his head. He took a deep breath, kept his eyes fixed on the mountain, and fired this cannonball at the mountain.

"Boom !!"

The shell finally landed about two meters above the machine-gun position on the hill on the left side of the road.

"Hoo !!"

The devil in the machine gun position was hit on the back by the shock wave of the shell, and there was a buzz in his head, and in front of him he instantly planted a black heel out of the position.

"Bang la ......"

The rocks smashed by the shells crackled into a heap and poured down, instantly burying half of the machine-gun positions here.
