This is a mountain, the mountain is not high, but the area is not small, and the mountain is full of miscellaneous trees with thick bowls.

Although it is winter, the leaves have not yet completely fallen, and the arrival of a cold snap has frozen the half-yellow and half-green leaves on the trees, so the reality on this mountain is really not clear at a glance.

On the periphery of the woods, you can see the temporary fortifications built by the national army, and the soldiers of the 37th Army in the circular trenches are actively preparing for battle.

Because the Japanese troops on the opposite side had already arrived, as for why the Japanese troops did not attack immediately, in the eyes of the national soldiers, they were waiting for the assistance of the planes.

At this time, on the other side of the ridge line, Xiao Bing Gazi was desperately digging a bunker with a platoon, they had accepted Huo Xiaoshan's order to assist in the defense of the battalion of the 37th Army in front here.

However, the so-called Huo Xiaoshan has an explanation, that is, if you can prevent it, you can prevent it, and if you can't prevent it, you will retreat, but you must withdraw the fighters who help the friendly forces that are assisted in the defense.

As for digging bunkers, the directly subordinate battalion has nothing to say under the education of Huo Xiaoshan's concept of leading troops, as long as it is a positional battle and idle time, it has to dig desperately.

It would be nonsense to dig into permanent fortifications, and the hillside where they were already facing away from the Japanese army was not likely to become a position, because there were too many trees to exert firepower.

But who knows what will happen in the battle, even if it is to dig a foxhole for yourself, it will be an extra bargaining chip to save your life.

At least when the Japanese bombardment was in use, unless the shell hit the head directly, it was possible to dodge shrapnel.

It was not easy to dig a foxhole on the hillside, because digging a little deeper would touch the roots of the tree, but the effort always paid off, and in more than an hour, the platoon finally dug a place for themselves to hide.

"Gazi, did you say that Shen Tou and Zheng Tou quarreled today to make the boss angry?" A soldier named Liu Chengshun threw down the sapper shovel in his hand and sat on the edge of the freshly dug foxhole.

"Needless to say, but I never thought that Zheng Tou's ability to scold people was real—hehe," another soldier said.

"Ding Maode, why are you talking half-talking, really?" The soldier next to him asked.

"Needless to say, it's really not a gentleman!" Ding Maode finally spit out what he wanted to say but didn't say under the urging of others, he joined later, and he really hadn't heard Zheng Youjian's scolding.

"Hahaha" All the soldiers laughed, and Zheng Youjian's face was swollen and red and he jumped to his feet and scolded again.

"Is it that funny?" In the laughter, the little soldier Gazi spoke.

The little soldier Gazi is a veteran, and he used to bring a company of soldiers, but with the increase in the number of personnel in the battalion directly under him, he felt that his military quality was not enough, so he talked to Huo Xiaoshan, and took the initiative to let Xian give Li Xiangbai, but he only became a platoon commander.

Being an official in a battalion directly under him relies on his real skills, and with Huo Xiaoshan's appearance in the front, there has never been a reason for an official to shrink back, so it is not a shame to hurry up and let the place go if he feels that his level is not enough.

Of course, Zheng Youjian is the exception of these officials, but at least the little soldier Gazi knows that the current Zheng Youjian and the Zheng Youjian who opened a restaurant and forced to buy and sell are already two people who just met him.

When all the soldiers saw that the little soldier had spoken, they all closed their mouths.

"No matter what Shen Tou and Zheng Tou say or scold, it's their business, how many battles they have fought together, and a few quarrels don't matter, but I can tell you, we have to have rules for which leader we meet, and when you are a soldier, you have to look like a soldier, it doesn't matter if you are casual in private, but if anyone dares to lose the face of the battalion directly under them, and who dares to have that attitude of looking down on this head and that head, I Gazi is the first not to agree!"

Huo Xiaoshan has always only set the general direction in the battalion directly under him, and he rarely says things like this when he wants to be a soldier and can't disgrace the battalion directly under him, but these veterans brought out by Huo Xiaoshan are often unremitting, everyone has inertia, Huo Xiaoshan can bring out such combat effectiveness in the battalion, which also has a great relationship with the backbone elements of these veterans under him.

"Have you heard it, one by one like frosted eggplants!" The little soldier reprimanded loudly.

"Yes! Lead the line! Seeing that the leader of the platoon was speaking very formally, regardless of whether they were sitting, standing or lying, they all replied loudly with their chests straightened.

"Our platoon has always been relatively weak in our battalion, and I think that our ability to fight is not as good as Shen Tou and Xiaoshi, but our weakness is only compared to our direct battalion, if we are out of our direct battalion, we are all at the elite level of the national army, and we will be energetic in fighting for a while, not only to be able to kill some devils and save all the friendly troops, but also to protect ourselves, have you heard?" The little soldier Gazi instructed again.

"Yes, Leader!" The soldiers replied again loudly.

Not long after the pre-war mobilization report of the little soldier Gazi was completed, a buzzing sound sounded in the distance, and the Japanese planes came.

Everyone was already lying in the bunker, and Liu Chengshun and Ding Maode, who were digging the bunker relatively quickly, also cut down some branches with military thorns and put them on top of the bunker.

"Our leader used a heavy machine gun to shoot down a little devil plane!" As the planes roared closer and closer, the little soldier shouted loudly.

"yes, it's a pity that we have too few heavy machine guns now, or we can try to hit them!" Liu Chengshun shouted.

"If you fly low enough, you might be able to shoot it down with a rifle!" Ding Maode also yelled.

"There are too few of us, Ding Maode, you go to the leader, see if this method works?" The little soldier Gazi shouted in the loudest voice, because the Japanese planes were approaching the position of the 37th Army in front at this time.

"Good!" As soon as he heard this, Ding Maode got out of his bunker and ran down the mountain.

At this time, the Japanese planes had already begun to dive, and the fuselage of the Japanese planes could be seen from the gap between the tree rights in front of the diagonal front.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom," an explosion sounded, and then the Japanese plane was pulled up and flew over the heads of the little soldiers on this side of the hill like a huge ferocious bird.

Then, I saw the black dust in front of the mountain rising into the sky, directly covering the originally gloomy sky.

"Oh my god, how many of them are here!" The little soldier shouted.

Although his vision had been obscured by the black smoke, he heard the roar of the engines of the planes in front of him again.

Little Soldier Gazi was just his nickname when he first joined the army, and now he is an out-and-out veteran, as soon as he realized that there were many Japanese planes, he suddenly jumped out of his bunker and rolled directly into the bunker of Ding Maode adjacent to him.

At this time, when he looked up again in the bunker, he saw a Japanese plane diving down, the conical nose was very clear, and even he saw the pilot in the Japanese cabin.

The little soldier squatted up in the bunker at once, held his head with his hands and opened his mouth wide and stuck to the inner wall of the bunker, and then he heard a deafening explosion around him, and he couldn't hear anything in his ears except the echo of "buzzing", and his sight was full of black smoke, which choked him, but he couldn't care about it.

Almost at the same time, he heard a "click" above his head, and an arm-thick branch pressed down on his head, and he sat down on the ground and lay down.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw that the trunk of a large tree as thick as two bowls was close to my eyelids.

The thin branches and leaves of the tree had already scratched his face, but he couldn't care about it, he was already shocked into a cold sweat, if it weren't for Ding Maode putting a few thick branches the thickness of his arms on the bunker, he would have been stoned to death this time.

Seeing the Japanese plane flying over, the little soldier Gazi hurriedly climbed out from under the tree, and saw that a big tree that had been blown off had also been smashed in his original bunker.

Thanks to hiding here, the tree wouldn't have smashed itself into a pulp!

"Are they all alive?" The little soldier shouted by pulling his neck.

But the little soldier Gazi didn't hear an echo, and his ears were still buzzing.

Won't they all be blown up, Xiao Bing Gazi thought, but he looked back on it, his natural ears were blown up and he was "deaf", and he couldn't hear what others were shouting.

He is a veteran, so he has naturally encountered this situation, and he usually recovers after a while, so he is not very worried.

When he looked back again, he saw that the Japanese planes that had just finished bombing had flown back again, and there were still a few rounds of strafing by the planes!

The little soldier Gazi couldn't care about anyone else, but he retreated back under the tree in the bunker.

Not to mention that the veteran has a strong ability to save his life on the battlefield, when the little soldier Gazi judged that there were a lot of Japanese planes, he thought that the Japanese army might bomb the whole mountain, so he hid in the bunker with several branches in Ding Maode, who went to find Huo Xiaoshan.

Squatting down instead of lying down is to prevent the body from being shocked to death if it comes into close contact with the earth, and he opened his mouth wide He listened to what Huo Xiaoshan said, so that the air pressure in the head could be consistent with the outside, so as not to damage the eardrum.

I don't understand what the air pressure soldier Gazi is, but just do it, this is the experience of a veteran.
