The hour-long blocking time finally came, and the regiment commander Tian Long also sent an order to retreat, although the first battalion fought tenaciously, but after all, there were only more than 600 people, and in the face of the Japanese army's tidal attack, it was already commendable that they could hold on to the scheduled time.

Although the enemy has not taken the main position on the front, the positions on both flanks have been lost one after another, and if they hold on any longer, there will only be one result, that is, the total annihilation of the army.

Yao Menglin howled loudly and retreated, but he did not forget to order the soldiers to bring all the heavy weapons, the battle behind was only more brutal, and these heavy weapons were the magic weapon to win.

Officers and men who have been on the battlefield of resistance against Japan at home know the importance of suppressive firepower, and almost all of them have suffered in the reality of lack of heavy weapons, and the troops of a division are often beaten by a large group or fewer units of the Japanese army, to a large extent, it is not that the soldiers are afraid of death or the commander's command is not effective, but that the equipment is too backward, and the flesh and blood cannot stop the torrent of steel.

Therefore, even if Yao Menglin didn't remind him, the soldiers would not leave these treasures, and Yao Menglin was even more desperate, the Makqin heavy machine gun with a broken leg did not fall, and it was directly carried on his shoulder.

The whole battalion had 650 people, and when they finally retreated to the second line of defense, there were only 132 people left, and when Yao Menglin walked to the regimental headquarters, he also said to the regiment commander Tian Longniu: "Tuanzuo, why let us retreat, there is no problem for us to hold out for another twenty or thirty minutes." ”

Tian Long rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "If you don't brag, you will die, it will be twenty or thirty minutes, I am only afraid that if you are two or three minutes slower, the enemy will drown you with a charge." ”

"Hey, hey!" Yao Menglin pursed his head and smirked.

"Lao Tzu asked you, how many heavy weapons are left in the whole battalion?"

"Heavy weapons?" Yao Menglin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Tian Long saw that there were not many of them, and they wanted to hand over the weapons, which would cost him his life, these heavy guys were the old foundation of the whole battalion, and when they encountered a tough battle in the future, they would not panic if they were in the palm of their hands, and the soldiers could be replenished if they were gone, but these officers from China knew that it was not easy to ask for a few machine guns from above, so Yao Menglin immediately rolled his eyes, and said hesitantly: "It's about the same, there should be more than ten or twenty, right?" ”

Tian Long glanced at him, and knew what he had in mind, shook his head and said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, you come here." ”

Tian Long walked out of the headquarters as he spoke, stood in a relatively high place, pointed to a faint black protrusion in front of him, and said, "Have you seen that mountain?" Bring your people and weapons and touch Lao Tzu, and when the enemy rushes up, he will sweep him suddenly, and he will definitely be able to kill and injure the enemy in a large area, and take him by surprise. ”

Yao Menglin looked at Tian Long and was immediately dumbfounded, he had been groping in this area for several days, of course he knew that the hillside in the north, that was a cliff, the river side was simply a cliff, and it was impossible to climb at all, and the south side was slightly better, it was a slope that extended to the west, so it also had the conditions to go up, but the mountain was very steep, and it was very difficult for people to stand, and if one accidentally rolled down, there was a cliff hundreds of meters high, and if he fell down, he would be crushed, let alone set up a heavy machine gun on it.

The only thing that can be counted on is that there are a lot of crooked necks and miscellaneous trees growing in the cracks of the rocks, but even if you tie people to trees, it is not enough to set up machine guns.

However, that firing position was indeed very good, protruding 100 meters from the riverbed, nearly half of the Japanese troops attacking from the river beach were within its firing range, and the Japanese army would never have imagined that machine guns could be set up on it, plus the cover of the night, it was really possible to repel the Japanese attack with a sudden attack, causing great casualties to the Japanese army.

"And how do you set up the machine guns there? Could it be that you tied me to a tree and opened fire with a Maxim heavy machine gun in my arms? Yao Menglin stammered with a bitter face.

"If you can put your arms around me, I don't object." Tian Long replied casually, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and continued: "It's three forty-five o'clock, about an hour and a half before dawn, you have an hour to prepare, and the next half an hour will depend on yours, whether you can let the whole regiment withdraw from the battlefield smoothly, it depends on whether you can kill and wound a large number of enemies and force them back." Also, you can go to the regimental headquarters logistics office and get another base amount of ammunition, this is the only support I can give you! ”

After Tian Long finished speaking, he left, leaving Yao Menglin messy in the embers of the battlefield.

"I'll rub!" Looking at Tian Long's back, Yao Menglin scolded for a long time. Several company commanders and platoon commanders also surrounded them in an instant, and they could all hear the task assigned by the regiment commander clearly, and they could see how difficult this task was. One by one, they chattered, and of course they said frustrating things like impossible, impossible, and what to do.

"Shut up to Lao Tzu, if you can't do it, you have to do it, the commander of the first company, send someone to the regiment headquarters to get ammunition, and the others will follow me up the mountain, and then find a way when we go up the mountain."

Yao Menglin roared, everyone was silent, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, anything can happen on the cruel battlefield, and anything can become a reality, so after complaining, what should I do?

More than a hundred people soon came to the foot of the mountain, and the ammunition was also received, along with a large number of ropes, Tian Long probably knew that they couldn't do without this, and the trouble of temporarily tying vines for ropes was avoided.

After discussion, it was finally decided to send a few soldiers with good skills to climb up first, fix the ropes, and the people behind would climb all the way up, and the safety factor would be much higher. It's not a difficult thing to get up, but it's not easy to set up a machine gun on this steep slope.

Soon after the first battalion withdrew from the first line of defense, the enemy's heavy artillery wing also began to cover the second line of defense of the independent regiment. Therefore, the six mountain guns of the artillery company of the independent regiment were not idle, firing shells at the river beach with a clatter.

The position of this artillery company, Tian Long is quite tricky, basically close to the original main battlefield, the Japanese heavy artillery across the river can not bomb at all, but they hit the Japanese army attacking on the river beach just right, otherwise with the artillery company these few artillery fire, there is simply not enough conditions to shoot at the Japanese army, the Japanese army's mountain artillery wing, field artillery wing, together are sixty or seventy guns, a salvo will have to make them completely finished. Judging from the layout of Tian Long's artillery position and the critical handling of the battlefield, Jiang Haoran did not see the wrong person when he handed over the task after the break. However, will they be able to stop the Japanese attack? Will Yao Menglin be able to build a firepower point on the hillside as scheduled? It's all full of suspense.
