On Maoer Mountain, the Qing army on the defensive line was reinforcing the bombed fortifications to better cope with the Japanese attack again.

In an open field, all the front-line heavy machine gunners were concentrated by Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi stood in front and was reprimanding the machine gunner: "Heavy machine guns should be combined with long and short bursts, do you understand, our ammunition reserves are not sufficient, and if you shoot indiscriminately like this, no number of bullets will be enough." There are also sub-machine gunners, where are your observations, you have to distinguish the focus of the Japanese army's attack, where the crowd is dense, you must command the machine gunners to focus on hitting there, otherwise, the bullets will hit the open space, you can't kill the devil, you can use it! Remember, we are facing a small devil who is several times larger than our army, this battle does not have to be fought, everyone should not think about returning home to pick up their wives and children! ”

The heavy machine gunners below whispered yes. Originally, these veterans were ruthless characters who were not afraid of heaven and earth, and they were unruly, but after a few battles, under the command of this letter and pipe belt, they were fighting in a divided way, and the devils on the opposite side could not help the Maoershan position at all, and these people gradually became shocked and afraid of Zhang Yi, and they were no longer as flying as they did at the beginning.

Zhang Yi paused, and then said: "Okay, you go down and rest, I think the Japanese army will continue to attack tonight, and order the whole army to cheer up and deal with the Japanese attack in the second half of the night." ”

Tan Feng walked over and said in a low voice: "Boss, the Japanese army's offensive is too fierce, according to this way of fighting, I am afraid that our ammunition will not be able to support even two days?" In just one afternoon, nearly a third of our shells were fired, and there was no ammunition for this, how could we defend it? ”

Zhang Yi's heart was also sudden, and then he said angrily: "You are a dead man, why don't you know how to save this?" Today, the Japanese army is still only a tentative offensive, and the big battle is still to come, and there are no shells at the time, what should we do? ”

Tan Feng cried with a sad face, and said: "Boss, you have been clamoring for the artillery to hit hard, the brothers have desperately filled the shells and fired, although the devils were beaten quite badly, but the shells are also counted." ”

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, he was too involved to forget about this stubble.

Zhang Yi sighed lightly and said: "Okay, Tan Feng, your current ability is enough to be independent, from now on, the artillery position will be under your full command, I will no longer interfere, remember, use artillery reasonably, use good steel on the blade, and do your best to annihilate the living forces of the Japanese army." ”

After hearing this, Tan Feng felt a wave of enthusiasm in his heart, this is the leader's great trust in himself, and he has to fight this battle no matter what. Thinking of this, Tan Feng said loudly: "Boss, please rest assured, Tan Feng will never embarrass you, if you don't blow up the Japanese army, I will wipe my neck myself!" ”

Zhang Yi nodded, and was about to praise Tan Feng for two sentences to cheer her up, when suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, why am I so stupid!" Why are you waiting for them to come and fight us, today we will have a counterattack and give Yoshimasa Oshima some color to see! ”

Tan Feng and Tang Keqiang were shocked when they heard this, and asked, "What?" Brother (leader), you want to counterattack, this is not a joke, the Japanese army is too strong, let's not mess up our positions at that time, but lose our position. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "If you lose your position, no, Oshima Yoshimasa believes that his troops are strong, several times that of me, and he definitely thinks that we will defend strictly, and he will definitely not think that we dare to take the initiative." At most, we should learn the lessons of yesterday and dispatch troops to guard the Japanese artillery positions. We did exactly the opposite, and tonight, we concentrated our forces on a condescending and attacked him. The brothers of the first line of defense were ordered to put the line in front and advance to a position about a thousand meters away from the Japanese army halfway up the mountain to lay in ambush and hide without moving. Brethren of the second line of defense, follow me and attack the front of the Japanese army. Oshima Yoshimasa must have been annoyed and angry, and pursued our army. When the Japanese pursued him to the ambush circle, the brothers of the first line of defense came out from the middle of the road and caught him by surprise. Let Oshima appreciate what is the Chinese art of war! ”

Tan Feng and Tang Keqiang were overjoyed when they heard this, and applauded again and again.

Zhang Yi said: "Tan Feng, you go back to command the artillery position, and the camera directs the artillery to launch an artillery bombardment on the Japanese army; Brother Keqiang, your brother in command of the first line of defense is in ambush halfway, preparing for an ambush, I will go and prepare for a surprise attack now! ”

With that, the three of them went their separate ways to prepare.

Just after the early hours of the morning, Yoshimasa Oshima was deploying troops at the command post to attack, and the troops outside were being dispatched, when he suddenly heard gunfire outside, shouting and killing that shook the heavens and the earth.

Outside the command post, a Japanese soldier ran in and reported: "Your Excellency General, it's not good, the Qing army on Mao'er Mountain suddenly rushed down from the mountain and launched an attack on our army. ”

Oshima Yoshimasa was shocked, and hurriedly took the generals out of the command post to watch, only to see that the front of the Japanese position had been cracked into a piece, and the heavy machine guns on both sides were sprayed with tongues of fire, and I didn't know how many people came from the Qing army on the opposite side.

Oshima Yoshimasa shouted: "You quickly return to the various departments, command the troops to counterattack, the Qing army will attack at night, there will not be too many troops, we just surround this Qing army and annihilate it on the spot!" ”

When the Japanese generals heard this, they rushed to their respective units to direct the battle, and these people had not gone far, the cannons of the Maoershan artillery position rang out, and the shells fell on the Japanese positions as if they had long eyes, and they exploded one after another, and even a shell fell not far from Oshima Yoshimasa, and the powerful shock wave left Oshima Yoshimasa and the staff and guards around him idle, and the Japanese defense was even more chaotic.

Oshima Yoshimasa shook his head and stood up from the ground, fortunately he was not injured, at this moment, he was furious, and shouted: "Baga, immediately order the whole army, immediately counterattack, and beat this Qing army to me!" ”

It's just that today's Japanese army is fighting separately in the chaos, and it is difficult to organize an orderly attack, and the Laoshan Battalion led by Zhang Yi took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack on the Japanese army, and for a time the Japanese army was beaten without the slightest power to fight back.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that the Japanese troops, which had been reorganized by officers at all levels, gradually stabilized their positions.

Zhang Yi saw that the Japanese army had stabilized and knew that he couldn't stay here any longer, once the Japanese army counterattacked, then none of his 300 or so people would be able to leave.

Zhang Yi shouted: "Signal soldiers, release signal flares, all attackers, all retreat, return to Maoer Mountain!" ”

When the raiding troops saw the signal to retreat, they began to retreat in an orderly manner.

The Japanese army, which reacted from the panic, began to gradually organize its troops and began to counterattack, and the Qing army in the Laoshan camp retreated while fighting, and under the leadership of Zhang Yi, they did not mess at all, and withdrew step by step to the forward area of the first line of defense.

At this time, the Japanese army had already pursued, and they were only two or three hundred meters away, shouting "board loaded" in their mouths, and began to desperately pursue, trying to take advantage of the situation to attack the Qing army's Maoershan defense line.

The Japanese army had just advanced halfway up the mountain, and Tang Keqiang, who had been in ambush for a long time, waved his right arm and shouted: "Brothers, fire at me, hit me hard!" ”

The Qing army in the ambush opened firepower, and from both sides of the Japanese army, began to shoot frantically, and the Japanese army, who was bent on the charge of the Qing army's defense line, did not expect that on both sides of him, there was actually a Qing army ambush here. The Japanese army that had rushed forward was put into a large area, and in their ignorance, the Japanese army was completely stunned, in a dilemma, making a mess on the mountainside, crowded into an open field, and the Japanese army without the slightest cover was like a monkey in a cage, being put down piece by piece.

The Japanese officer who commanded the charge saw that the situation was not good and shouted: "Withdraw, evacuate quickly!" While he was shouting, a stray bullet flew and hit his forehead, and the unfortunate man, without saying a word, fell to the ground. The surrounding Japanese troops retreated one after another, and Zhang Yi in front saw that the ambush was successful, and shouted: "Brothers, rush back and kill another one!" ”

Shouting, leading everyone, Hu and rushed back, completely scattered the front of the Japanese army, until the follow-up Japanese army came up to the rescue, only to reluctantly repel the Qing army, the chaotic Japanese army was also unintentionally in love, and withdrew to the Japanese camp one after another.
