In the area of Jinguan Bridge, dozens of kilometers south of Jiujiang, is the Jinqiao area of Saiyang Town, Lushan District, Jiujiang City today, now a highway bridge that seems to be ordinary now, together with the adjacent Menjia Bridge, constitutes an important hub of road transportation, in order to quickly pass through this hill, it is necessary to occupy these two fulcrums, and then control the entire highway, such an important node is very important for both China and Japan in 1938.

To the east from the Jinguanqiao area is the foothills of Lushan Mountain, and on the right flank of the Kongcun Heights is defended by the 155th Division, and in depth is the 159th Division and the 9th Reserve Division, which is ready to support at any time; On the frontal line of defense from Jinguan Bridge to the south was the 3rd Division of the Central Army; Ma'anshan, west from Jinguanqiao, is also the Fourth Army of the Central Army, an army with a glorious tradition.

If the Japanese army wants to cooperate with the troops of the 9th Division and the 27th Division to attack Wuhan, it must pass through this area, go east through a large area of mountains to attack Ruichang or go south to capture De'an to threaten Nanchang, the Japanese 106th Division here is not a fool, and will not fail to see the intentions of the Chinese military leadership, as a qualified officer who graduated from the Japanese Army University, Junrokuro Matsuura understands the painstaking efforts of General Okamura Ninji, that is, to attack along the railway line, occupy De'an, and attack Wuhan from the southwest of De'an, In this way, we can give full play to the advantages of the Imperial Army's heavy equipment and use artillery shells to open the way for the development of Great Japan, rather than using the lives of precious Imperial Army soldiers to complete the mission of pioneering......

After the 147th Wing, which had advanced to the front of the 16th Regiment's defensive line, had constructed simple trenches and defensive lines, Yoshio Sonoda sent two squads to try to reconnoiter the dangerous area ahead......

"Battalion commander, the devil is up?" The company commander at the front of the 2nd Battalion reported,

"How many people? Check it out! "Sheng Hai is still strange? It's not like the Japanese style! Isn't there artillery fire prepared before a large-scale attack? Do you think we are bullies?

"Isn't that right? Why are there only a few people? Sheng Hai held the binoculars and looked at the dozens of devils who were slowly approaching the mound, pondering in his heart......

"Battalion commander, why don't the devils shoot artillery? Why did you send so many people to your death? A platoon commander of the second battalion of the sixteenth regiment was next to Sheng Hai and asked casually,

"These devils are here to test and order the troops not to open fire! Leave it to the sharpshooters of the reconnaissance company and the guard company behind us to solve! Sheng Hai immediately ordered,

The commander of the second platoon, who had just put the Czech light machine gun and was ready to give the devil a shuttle, unwillingly dragged the machine gun down the trench and sat down against the trench......

"Coo, coo, coo, coo......" The long bird's cry spread far above the mound, which was a signal to inform the sharpshooters to open fire, and almost all battalion and company commanders would use this signal, which He Jianye had specifically requested to learn, in order to cooperate with the sharpshooters in the battalion and many other operations;

"Monkey, the signal is coming. Good luck today, let's fire first! Look at it! See who gets the most killed? Zhao Dali whispered to the monkey next to him, the two brothers have made rapid progress since they entered the reconnaissance company, after all, they have the foundation of several years of boxing, their hand movements are very stable, and the rifle shooting is becoming more and more accurate......

The monkey crawling in the foxhole next to him ignored Zhao Dali's proposal, and with the sound of birds, the monkey put a devil into the small mirror steadily, not daring to aim at the head, 400 meters is still too far......

"Bang!" After the monkey fired, he pulled the bolt of the gun, and when he looked out of the small mirror, the targeted devil had fallen to the ground;

"Bang" "Bang......

The rhythm of the gunfire is not fast, and the sharpshooters on the hill have no habit of wasting bullets, and they will not shoot if they hit the devil without half the certainty;

"Yaga!" The devils who were bending down and marching were startled by the sudden sound of gunshots, and immediately lay on the ground and looked around, while the devils lying on the ground and convulsing had 5 in just one minute;

The snipers of the 16th Regiment who were shooting on the mound were condescending, facing the devils lying on the ground, except that the target was blurred, there was no shield from the shooting boundary, and they were still shooting slowly, but the devils lying on the ground fell blood mold, and as time passed minute by minute, there was not much left of the two squads;

"There!" A devil soldier finally discovered that the gunfire came from the mound 300 meters away, but although the devil's shooting skills were very accurate, the defects of the Type 38 rifle were obvious, and it was not as accurate as Mauser at 300 meters away;

"Da ......." The two crooked handles that accompanied the two squads began to shoot, and the bullets flew up the mound in a flickering manner, hitting the dirt with a "poof" sound;

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several gunshots rang out in a row, and the crooked handle that the devil was roaring was dumbfounded......

"Retreat!" Seeing that the rest of the people who led the team did not even have a small team, Cao ordered the devils to run backwards loudly, and the devils who were lying on the ground and suffering did not run backwards in one go, and the two devils knelt on the ground and shot at the mound with the 38 big cover in their hands, trying to cover the retreat of the rest of the devils;

"Fire with all your might! Hit the runner first! As the only platoon commander among the sharpshooters, Liu Fagui gave orders loudly,

"Bang, bang, bang!" At this time, the snipers no longer thought about the problem of hit rate, they were shooting at full speed, and after five minutes, the devils of the two squads were left with four people who escaped the shooting distance of 600 meters, and calm was restored on the mound......

"Let's go! Remove! I guess the devils are going to shell! "Liu Fagui ordered several groups of sharpshooters on the mountain to withdraw to their bunkers,

"Ding, ding......" The phone of the second battalion headquarters rang,

"Call Sheng Hai to listen to the phone" He Jianye's voice sounded,

"Yes, Commander; I'm going to scream! One of the two soldiers guarding the battalion headquarters put down the phone and ran quickly to the forward trench,

Five minutes later, Sheng Hai ran back to the battalion headquarters;

"Leader, I'm Sheng Hai!" Sheng Hai picked up the phone and was still panting,

"What's the matter with the gunshots? The devil came up so soon? He Jianye asked,

"No, it's the devil's squad scout, most of them were eliminated by the sharpshooters of the guard company and the reconnaissance company, and a few devils ran away." Sheng Hai reported,

"Is your position's firepower exposed?" He Jianye asked worriedly,

"Regiment leader, there are only dozens of devils, that can expose the firepower point! None of our brothers in the second battalion fired a shot, but the sharpshooters on the top of mound No. 1 opened fire. Sheng Hai immediately said,

"That's good, until the critical moment, you can't expose the point of fire, especially the point of fire of the heavy machine gun! Do you understand? He Jianye emphasized,

"Yes, don't worry, Commander." After Sheng Hai finished speaking, he listened to no movement on the phone, put down the phone, grabbed the kettle on the table and took a sip of water, thought about the situation as if it was a bit abnormal, and immediately returned to the forward position......

"Company commander, call a few clever brothers over;" Sheng Hai shouted,

"Battalion commander, what's the matter, you say; We're all smart! The first company commander said,

"Don't be hippie, there's a mission!" Sheng Hai said solemnly,

"Battalion commander, say it! I promise it's done! The company commander didn't dare to smile anymore, and said uprightly,

"This is for you, you send a few clever brothers to quietly go out from the north of our position to see what the devils are doing, but you must explain clearly, don't take risks, and come back immediately if there is a situation!" Sheng Hai took off the binoculars around his neck and handed it to the company commander and said,

"Understood! Battalion commander, don't worry, I'll take people personally! The commander of a company took a telescope and sent a few brothers on the shoulders of the trenches, motioned to follow him, and then turned over and walked out of the trench and touched in the direction of the Sand River......
