"Regiment commander, good news, the devil artillery has been transferred from the blockade line, a whole infantry brigade, heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry artillery, all transferred!" As soon as it was dark the next day, Tang Guangxin rushed to Wang Ping out of breath and reported.

"Commander, we can enter the mountain!" Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe both had smiles on their faces, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"Into the mountains!" Wang Ping didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly affirmed.

"We have more than 1,000 captives here, and only by entering the mountains can we confidently and boldly digest them!"

"At ten o'clock in the evening, the troops set off on time, abandoning all carts, weapons and equipment, and supplies, all carrying them on mules and horses, and transferring them on their backs!"

"The devil has killed another infantry brigade, and it must be looking for us like crazy outside. Therefore, we try to take the path into the mountains as much as possible to avoid the reconnaissance troops of the Japanese puppet army! ”

Wang Daoshan, who had been staying in the camp, immediately reminded: "Regiment commander, although we have dozens of mules and horses, we have seized too many materials in the past few days, and we can only take away all the weapons, ammunition and half of the food just by relying on them and people!" ”

"All the food must be taken away!" Wang Ping made a decision without thinking about it.

"No one knows how long we will stay in the mountains, and if we have food in our hands, we will not panic and train our soldiers well."

"There are almost no battles in the mountains, and we have a lot of weapons and ammunition in the mountains. In this way, only a third of the ammunition was taken away, a third of the heavy weapons were taken away, and the rifles guaranteed that all the fighters and prisoners had one for each person, and the others were left behind, all hidden here! ”

This is just a decision that Wang Ping made on the spot. But a month later, the benefits brought by this decision to the new group were definitely beyond Wang Ping's imagination.

At four o'clock in the morning, more than a thousand people had already arrived at a col less than three kilometers from the blockade line.

If more than 1,000 people under his command were soldiers, Wang Ping would definitely lead everyone to launch a surprise attack directly on the blockade line.

But these people were basically not soldiers, and in order to avoid riots during the battle, the prisoners he had worked so hard to capture escaped in the chaos, and Wang Ping decisively decided to stop.

"Company Commander Xiong, Company Commander Wang, you take people to stay here and take care of the prisoners and supplies. Xiao Yunshan, take your people and set off with me, and find a way to make a cut in the blockade line. Once the opening is opened, I will fire three flares in this direction, and all you need to do is to take everyone and march quickly to break through the blockade and enter the mountains! Looking at the three company commanders, Wang Ping decisively ordered.

Then he set off with Xiao Yunshan and more than sixty soldiers.

Last night, the first battle, the second company played very well. Despite having nine heavy machine guns and nine mortars to help in the battle, bullets on the battlefield do not have eyes. The entire second company still lost more than thirty people in battle.

Fortunately, Wang Ping arrived at the temporary camp as soon as he arrived, and Wang Daoshan prepared more than 60 recruits.

As a result, after a day and a half of replenishment and training, the establishment of the two platoons reached full strength after a day and a half of replenishment and training.

In less than 20 minutes of the rapid march, a checkpoint blocked by the Japanese puppet army in the mountain pass appeared in Wang Ping's field of vision.

There were not many defenders, only a dozen Japanese puppet troops, and half of the Japanese puppet army was resting.

If there was only this point of the Japanese puppet army in front of him, Wang Ping was confident that he would easily kill them with only one charge in the second company.

But it didn't take long for Wang Ping's face to slowly become solemn.

On the high ground next to the highway, a stronghold that was about to take shape had sprung up.

The reason why it is said that it is about to take shape is because more than half a month ago, the Japanese puppet army stationed on the high ground was still tents, but now, the tents have become brick and stone turrets and houses, but the turrets have not yet been completed!

"Is the devil going to build a permanent blockade here for a day to completely isolate the inside of the mountain from the outside of the mountain?" Wang Ping frowned and sighed.

Xiao Yunshan, who was next to him, obviously relieved and replied: "Fortunately, the devil's turret has not been completed, otherwise it must be very difficult to take this stronghold without infantry artillery!" ”

"Regiment commander, I brought two mortars and twenty shells, do you want to attack now and take the devil's stronghold on the top of the mountain!"

After observing for nearly a minute, Wang Ping didn't find any other clues, nodded and agreed: "Yes, but the time must be fast." It's past four o'clock now, and there are so many of us that it will take nearly twenty minutes to pass through the blockade! ”

Wang Ping personally operated two mortars, two shells in a group, like eyes, all smashed into the stronghold.

In particular, one of the shells hit the stronghold where the devils had not yet finished. In the violent explosion, the turret, which had just been repaired to the second floor, was directly blown into ruins.

"Regiment commander, the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold is in chaos!" Xiao Yunshan exclaimed excitedly.

Then he ordered his subordinates behind him: "Be sharp, take advantage of the chaos of the devils, touch me up, the closer the better!" ”

Wang Ping didn't speak, holding a telescope and staring at the battlefield.

A total of twenty shells is just over a minute for two mortars.

As soon as the shelling stopped, Xiao Yunshan, who counted the explosions in the stronghold, gave the order to attack.

"Machine gun cover, comrades, follow me and kill me!"

The attack went well, and the six light machine guns seemed to have made a big difference, and the bullets that rained down on the masonry walls of the stronghold and flew sparks made it look particularly scary. And in the stronghold where there was gunsmoke everywhere, the Japanese puppet army seemed to have been really blown to death, and rarely fired a shot to counterattack.

Within two minutes, the second company rushed to a position seventy or eighty meters outside the stronghold.

"Da ......" But at this moment, on the outer wall of the stronghold, where there was no movement just now, four tongues of fire suddenly appeared, one thick and three thin, and it was known at a glance that this was a heavy machine gun and three light machine guns.

Wang Ping's face, which was still calm just now, turned pale after brushing it, and he shouted in a lost voice: "It's not good, the devil has repaired the machine gun bunker in the stronghold!" ”

"The troops immediately retreat, retreat!"

Five minutes later, Xiao Yunshan walked up to Wang Ping with his head down, a piece of flesh was bitten off by a bullet on his shoulder, and the red blood directly dyed the military uniform red.

But he didn't seem to feel the pain, and reported with a heartache: "Regiment leader, the devil is too cunning, it's only been two minutes, and my platoon is gone!" ”

"Many of the soldiers in it are recruits who were just added yesterday, and they died as soon as they went to the battlefield, which made everyone else afraid to go to the battlefield!"

Wang Ping's face was also very ugly, but he was much more sensible, frowning and analyzing: "We can calculate the devils, and the devils can also calculate us, there is nothing cunning that is not cunning, if you want to blame us, blame us for being too light on the enemy, and look at the Japanese puppet army on the blockade line from the perspective of half a month ago!" ”

Xiao Yunshan also calmed down: "Regiment leader, the shooting holes of these bunkers are all close to the ground, and they must all be semi-underground machine gun bunkers." The mortars in our hands will certainly not be able to help them. Do you want to go back now, drag an infantry cannon over, and bombard it with infantry artillery! ”

"It's useless!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied.
