Seven bombers and four fighters appeared in the sky over the Land Temple at 12 o'clock sharp, and Liu Xiaomei immediately sent communications fighters to get in touch with the US fighters and at the same time point out the bombing targets.

After a while, one after another aerial bombs fell from the sky, and the small hillside was suddenly flooded by explosions, and the firelight, smoke, and violent explosions made the onlookers of the 33rd Army soldiers also tremble.

"Damn, let you get a taste of what it's like to drop bombs on airplanes." Sanmao said viciously.

"Hehe, this explosion is fierce, more powerful than the little devil's 150mm heavy artillery." Wang Liang said with a smile.

The bomber finished throwing the bomb and left under the protection of the fighter.

Chen Fei looked at his watch at 12:30, and he nodded to Tang Bing next to him. Tang Bing immediately understood, picked up the signal flare placed on the trench, "Bang!" The ground hit one, and suddenly the surrounding of the small hillside boiled, and the killing cry of swallowing mountains and rivers could be heard seven or eight miles away.

"Da Da Da Da~" The devil's resistance began.

Chen Fei held up the binoculars, looked ahead and said, "Damn, the effect doesn't seem to be much." ”

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the 33rd Army desperately rushed forward, and the casualties came up all at once.

"Get down! Get down! Crawl forward! Get down! The squad leaders yelled. The small hillside of the Land Temple was surrounded by flat farmland, and the warriors crawled forward, all kinds of bullets flying over their heads.

"The bombing doesn't seem to have much impact on the devils, it seems that the anti-artillery holes are very well dug, what should I do?" Tang Bing looked at Chen Feidao.

"You want the fighters to attack with their own fire?" Chen Fei immediately understood when he heard it.

Tang Bing nodded and said, "It's not that I haven't done it before, it's just that the scale is larger now." ”

Chen Fei looked at the battle ahead and was silent.

Tang Bing's meaning is very clear, the air force has two bombings, and after an hour of the second bombing, let the soldiers rush into the devil's position with their own bombs, is such a sacrifice worth it? Chen Fei is really indecisive, but it is not a way to keep stuck like this in the front, the devil has a geographical advantage, and his desperate attack can only be a loss of troops, and it is courage and momentum to meet on a narrow road.

Chen Fei gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, inform the other two divisions, don't stop fighting, wait for the Chennault Air Force to throw bombs, rush away, one regiment attacks one regiment to cover, and be sure to take the position of the Land Temple." ”

"Yes." Tang Bing replied loudly.

It takes a lot of determination to give such a desperate order.

On the battlefield, the sound of all kinds of guns and cannons was as dense as fried beans, and although the troops were blocked, they still moved forward slowly and desperately. Even a meter is a hope for victory. War is cruel, the people in it are all red-eyed at this time, only know the attack and defense, and the people outside the battlefield are deeply aware that at this time human life is not worth more than a dog, just now is still desperately moving, the soldier with a gun has no breath in a blink of an eye, blood soaked the earth, the young soldier has been numb, mechanical shooting to change bullets to move, while waiting for death to come.

Chen Fei kept looking at his watch, and kept whispering: "It's coming, it's coming, I hope to win the Land Temple." ”

Minutes and seconds passed, and suddenly the roar of airplanes was heard in the distant sky.

"Get ready for action!" Chen Fei said calmly.

"Yes." Tang Bing replied, and at the same time he rushed out of the trench and personally commanded the attack.

Chen Fei looked at the back of Tang Bing jumping out, and his heart was indescribably depressed, this time there were more than 20 bombing secrets to support the 33rd Army, plus the 16 fighters escorting the escort, which was overwhelming and extraordinary. After a while, the bomber flew over the land temple and began to drop bombs, one by one huge bombs flew like a fish into the sea, flying straight to the devil's position, and suddenly exploded everywhere, the deafening sound can make people have an illusion, the uninterrupted explosion blew up the small hillside of the land temple to a miserable sight, the devil artillery that had no time to transfer, the shells were destroyed one after another, when the last bomber flew over the land temple, the warriors of the three divisions of the 33rd Army lying in the field suddenly got up and attacked the small hillside, The devils hiding in the trenches did not expect that the Chongqing army would attack in artillery fire, and the fighters who rushed to the front were either overturned by the air wave of the aviation explosion, or were killed by shrapnel, but the fighters in all three directions did not flinch and still desperately attacked.

Finally, the 68th Division He Wenbin took the lead in rushing into the devil's position, and the dense submachine gun bullets shot the devils hiding in the anti-artillery hole one by one, and the 219th Regiment Zhao Dadao Regiment as the first unit to enter the enemy position immediately occupied the tunnel, and at the same time Zhao Dadao ordered a battalion of troops to attack to the top of the mountain. In fact, there is nothing left on the top of the mountain, after all, under the bombing of bombers, it is unlikely that it will survive. However, it will be much more convenient to deal with the remaining devils when the troops occupy the commanding heights.

Chen Fei held the binoculars and stared ahead, the third battalion of the 219th Regiment occupied the top of the mountain, and he was excited in his heart: "Okay, good ······"

When all the troops rushed into the devil trench, a large number of devil soldiers just drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, and the soldiers stood on the trench and condescended, slaughtering for a while.

"Old steamed buns, old steamed buns, quickly notify all troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, don't have any fish that slip through the net, hurry!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes, I'll notify you right away, it's so tight, do you want to push it in immediately?" The old steamed bun replied.

"Push a fart, rest first, I'm afraid the devil will run away, we still haven't been surrounded to death, how many can we kill." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, yes." The old steamed bun went to give the order as he spoke. An hour later, when the battle ended, Chen Fei listened to the gunfire and stopped, and immediately led the troops to advance, and there were corpses of soldiers all the way, which were very tragic.

"Sanmao, tell Lao Zhangtou to find a good place nearby to bury the brothers, and tell the engineer commander to dig deep, so as not to show it when the heavy rain rushes." Chen Fei said heavily.

"Understood, Commander, I'll go right away." After Sanmao finished speaking, he went to find Lao Zhangtou.

"Chen Fang, Chen Fang, I'll report the casualties later." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Chen Fang, who was not far away, replied loudly.

Now the land temple mountain has been changed beyond recognition, the land temple on the top of the mountain has long been gone, Chen Fei has been all the way, there are soldiers from time to time, the chief got up and saluted Chen Fei, after all, you can't salute on the battlefield, Chen Fei looked at the brothers with gunpowder on his face, he really couldn't speak, any language was pale and weak.

"Commander, you are here, the devils have been cleared, and the corpses of the devils are being counted, it is estimated that there are more than 3,000 people, by the way, two devil army flags have also been captured." Tang Bing came over and said.

Chen Fei nodded, he didn't reply, he walked all the way to the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain was full of stumps of various artillery, Chen Fei thought to himself, so much artillery fire, in exchange for the previous capture of this place, you don't have to think about it, now there is the US army in the sky to help, only to win, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the little devil will also have today.

"Commander!" When Zhu Guowen saw Chen Fei coming up, he immediately ran over.

Chen Fei also nodded, "How many devils have run away?" Chen Fei asked.

"It's estimated five or six hundred." Zhu Guowen replied.

"Well, you send a force to go, four kilometers of alert, we will rest here for the night, the soldiers are too tired and need to rest." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, I understand." Zhu Guowen replied.

Chen Fei stepped forward and saw a big rock, he walked over and sat on it, took out a cigarette and lit a fire, if it was usual, sitting on a high place and looking into the distance, what a refreshing thing, and now there is a breath burning in his heart, but he can't vent it.

"Report to the army commander, a call from the Military Commission: I hope that our army will overcome difficulties to break the resistance of the Japanese army and reinforce Hengyang as soon as possible, Hengyang is in danger, 100,000 are in danger, and there is a call from the committee office, Hengyang is in danger, and I hope that our army will support Hengyang at all costs." Liu Xiaomei finished reading the telegram in her hand, looked at Chen Fei and said, "Commander, are we going to call back?" ”

Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Call back? What's so good to reply, isn't everything you want to say clear? The fact that we are moving forward so hard is that it speaks for itself. ”

"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied.

At this time, the troops were busy, the trench positions of the original devils were now occupied by various troops, and a small hillside was filled with the 33rd Army, but there were also many troops who could only rest under the mountain. The old steamed bun arranged for the troops to find Chen Fei, and he saw Chen Fei sitting on the rock, staring into the distance and smoking, "It's such a strong wind, are you smoking or sucking the wind?" The old steamed bun said.

"Something?" Chen Fei said.

"Well, the Military Commission is urging non-stop, when are you going to open the dial?" Old steamed bun said.

"When the casualties of the troops come out, you have to take a breath when you hang yourself, not to mention that you haven't hanged yet, the soldiers are too tired." Chen Fei looked ahead.

"But······ But······ ······ from the Military Commission" The old steamed bun said helplessly.

"I know, what's the problem for me to bear, besides, there are no devils in front of me?" Chen Fei said.

"Okay, I see." The old steamed bun replied.

Half an hour later, Chen Fang came over with the casualty statistics sheet: "Commander, the casualty count has come out." ”

"Oh, tell me the total." Chen Fei said.

"The troops lost 4,371 casualties, 503 were seriously wounded, and the hospital sent someone to say that the medicine gauze was urgent." Chen Fang said cautiously.

Chen Fei snorted, and didn't speak again, one battle after another, groups of fighters fell, saying that Chen Fei was numb, anyway, this feeling of not being able to breathe, he was also extremely sad.

Chen Fang quietly retreated, and Chen Fei sat on the rock until it was dark before coming down.

"Commander, let's have something to eat, Commander Huang of the Engineer Regiment has set up a headquarters for you on the left side." Wang Liang came over and said.

Chen Fei looked at the rice in his hand and smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go, go to the headquarters." ”

At night, it rained heavily in the hot and humid weather, and Chen Fei was just about to fall asleep when he heard a noise outside, "Wang Liang, what's going on?" Chen Fei asked.

"Commander, it's raining, and the soldiers are bathing in the rain." Sanmao Road.

"Oh, tell Lao Zhangtou to cook some ginger soup immediately, this ghost weather is easy to get sick." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Sanmao replied.

It rained heavily overnight, and the rain weakened in the early morning, sparsely and botheredly.

Chen Fei put on a raincoat and said to the old steamed bun next to him: "The troops are still advancing in the formation of yesterday. ”

"Yes." The old steamed bun replied and immediately went to inform the troops to open the dial.

The muddy road caused a lot of trouble for the march, not to mention the slow speed, but also to prevent the rain of American firearms, otherwise tomorrow the firearms will be guaranteed to rust. Chen Fei was watching the soldiers slowly move forward on the side of the road.

"Damn, how can you encounter this kind of weather, you can't walk fast." The old steamed bun came over and said.

He had already fallen twice, and if it weren't for the orderlies, he wouldn't have been able to walk two steps. Chen Fei glanced at him and said, "The Americans' leather boots are good, you have forgotten how we used to march." ”

The old steamed bun was stunned for a moment and immediately said embarrassedly: "Hey······ The conditions are good, but it is a drag. He took off his boots as he spoke.

"Commander." Old Zheng came over and said.

"Well, you're still out in front, what's the matter?" Chen Fei said.

"Commander, after passing the Wogou Ridge in front of you, you can reach Hengyang in three hours, but there must be devils blocking this Wogou Ridge." Zheng Lao said.

"Well, then let's get in touch first, how many more ways are there?" Chen Fei said.

"Two hours, and now the weather can't be fast." Zheng Lao said.

Chen Fei nodded.

Lying Dog Ridge looks like a rolling mountain range from a distance, but up close, it looks like a big dog lying in front of it.

Chen Fei looked at it for a while and said: "Order the troops to stop advancing, the left and right divisions lean over, and let the commanders of each unit come over for a meeting in 30 minutes." ”

"Yes." Wang Liang replied and immediately went to inform him.

Thirty minutes later, all the governors gathered around with a heavy heart.

"What's wrong? They all look like dead people, what are you doing? Show me? All the heads up. Chen Fei scolded.

The commanders immediately raised their chests and looked up at the commander.

"There is only one road, just in front, whether you can cross it, how to cross it, everyone thinks about it." Chen Fei said.

"Commander, why don't you rush to see the situation first, otherwise we won't be able to say why." He Wenbin said.

"Chong must rush, the casualties of the troops along the way are too great, I wonder if there is a good way." Chen Fei said.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and there is no good advice for a while.

Chen Fei looked at everyone and sighed: "Then since there is no good way, just rush, the three divisions are lined up, attack with all their might, and rush up the hill, there is no main attack or secondary attack." ”

"Yes." The crowd replied loudly.

At the beginning of the attack, Chen Fei held a telescope and looked ahead, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters, is there no devil on the mountain, Chen Fei was puzzled.

Fifty meters······ Suddenly, the trees on the hillside were knocked down, and the devil took out a light and heavy machine gun and began to fire fiercely, and the rows of soldiers fell instantly.

"Damn, it's a good disguise!" Chen Fei scolded viciously.

I saw that there were six formations of devil positions on the hillside, and each layer rushed out of dense bullets, various grenadiers, and mortars from the trenches.

"Artillery battalion, artillery battalion, support, support, smokescreen, smokescreen, let the brothers lean up, lean on!" Chen Fei shouted.

"Tom tom!" Dozens of smoke bombs rose into the air, and there was a white smoke screen in front of the devil's position, and the 222nd Regiment of the Tang soldiers was the first to rush to the foot of the mountain, "Up, up, up!" Zhang Ning waved his hand and shouted.

As the warriors began to climb the hillside, they saw oil drums tumbling down from them. "Ah······ Ah······h There were bursts of screams, dozens of soldiers were covered in fire, Zhang Ning was pulled behind a big stone by the guards, he looked sideways, damn, hundreds of burning wood fell densely on it, there were all over the front, how could he attack.

Chen Fei was also frightened, and scolded in his heart: "Fuck, the little devil attacks with fire!" ”

"Wang Liang notified the artillery battalion to cover and ordered all troops to withdraw." Chen Fei said helplessly.

"Yes." Wang Liang replied.

A tiger-clad war is over soon, although I thought that the devil would block in front, but I didn't expect the strength to be so strong, and it was another tough battle that would never die.
