Chapter 34: Waiting for the Sichuan Army

The devil's shells whistled and landed on the hilltop position. The entire hilltop position was in a sea of fire at this time, and the ** soldiers were all curled up in the bunker, and at any time there were fighters who were swept away by cannonballs and rolled in the air.

This is a small hill called Gualar in the territory of Rehe, under the hill is a military artery leading to the south, in order to defeat the squadron within three months, occupy the whole of China, the Japanese army will gather heavy troops at all costs to take this inconspicuous traffic artery on the map.

Responsible for guarding this place is the 105th Division of the ** First Group Army, and the division commander Huang Shouxin. The Japanese army wants to open up the road to the south, and there are ** heavy guards at every key position, and the Japanese army wants to pass, and it will not be able to pass without paying a heavy price. **The soldiers all held the belief that every inch of land must be fought for, and the position was lost in the position, and they swore to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders.

And the one who vowed to seize this fortress that blocked the road was Major General Jiro Okada of the Japanese army. Jiro Okada was ordered to clear the obstacles on the road and create unimpeded conditions for a large number of Japanese troops to gather and move south.

Since entering China, Okada Jiro has been successful in many battles, fighting hundreds of battles and almost no defeat, which makes Okada Jiro extremely arrogant in the face of the squadron, shouting at the sick man of East Asia, shouting that the squadron will taste the strength of the Japanese army's iron hooves, and those who stand in my way will die!

Jiro Okada was standing behind the artillery unit at this time, holding a telescope and observing the movement on Mount Gualal. Seeing in the binoculars, the top of the Gualal mountain was filled with smoke under the bombardment of running bombs, and the corpses of ** soldiers were tumbling from time to time in the smoke, and the corners of Okada Jiro's mouth naturally showed a smile.

Jiro Okada handed the binoculars to the adjutant beside him, and said contemptuously: "Zhira people, if you don't surrender, you're dead."

The shells didn't seem to stop, and the Japanese artillery kept firing shells, whistling down to the Gualal hills. Jiro Okada instructed his lieutenant, "Immediately launch a general attack, and you must take this hill before dark."

The adjutant said, "Hey, attack now."

The adjutant ran to the Japanese soldiers on standby and shouted, "For the honor of the Empire of Japan, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, we must take this hill before dark, and attack as soon as the shells stop."

Just as the adjutant was shouting, the artillery unit had stopped firing. Japanese troops poured from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain like a tidal wave. The Japanese soldiers shouted as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

As soon as the shells stopped, on the ** position on the hill, the ** soldiers crawled out of the bunker, adjusted the dust on their bodies, picked up machine guns and rifles and quickly returned to the position. Looking down at the many Japanese soldiers like ants from the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers did not hesitate, they all aimed at the Japanese soldiers with their eyes wide open, and only waited for the order from the peak to shoot.

Step by step, the Japanese army approached, getting closer and closer. The battalion commander He Chaojun watched closely, and when he was about to get three feet away, He Chaojun shouted, "Hit me, beat me hatefully."

The ** soldier, who had long been holding back his hatred, angrily turned on the trigger, and suddenly the machine gun sound on the entire hill suddenly rang out. The soldiers fired together, and the Japanese soldiers who ran in front suddenly fell in large pieces. Instantly suppressed the running Japanese troops in the middle of the mountain. A large Zuo half-crouched, holding a pistol and shouting: "Attack, attack".

A Japanese soldier with a rifle with a Japanese sun flag on his gun rushed to the front with a whining cry, and the Japanese soldiers behind him rushed up. After a single gunshot, the Japanese soldier who was running in front was shot and fell to the ground, and the sun flag fell to the ground. Another burst of machine gunfire, swept densely and rained down like drops. The Japanese infantry was suddenly so pressed that they did not dare to raise their heads, and they lay on the mountainside and did not dare to move.

He Chaojun signaled to stop shooting and said, "Everyone pay attention to saving bullets, and wait for the devils to attack before shooting."

On the other side of the hill, a soldier hurriedly ran to the position, came to He Chaojun's side and said: "Report to the battalion commander, this is the division commander's instructions."

He Chaojun took the command and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed instantly, and he muttered: "What kind of bullshit order is this, let's retreat at this time, isn't it intentional to let the devil take this position?" ”

The soldiers all said: "Battalion commander, can't you, as soon as the position is lost, won't the devil drive straight in?" ”

The soldiers were angry and looked at He Chaojun. He Chaojun waved his hand and said: "This is the order of the peak, the soldier takes obeying the order of the peak as his duty, you wait for me, I will go to the division commander to ask what is the matter."

He Chaojun stood up and instructed the deputy battalion commander beside him: "Before I come back, you will be responsible for this place, and you must not let the devil take this mountain, the strategic location of this mountain is very important, once the devil takes it, he will quickly go south to Jiangsu, and then the whole of China will be in danger."

The deputy battalion commander replied: "Report to the battalion commander, we must not let the devil take another half a step forward until you come back."

He Chaojun straightened his clothes, and then strode down the hill on the other side. The division commander's headquarters was set up not far from the foot of the mountain on the other side of the Gualar Mountain, and in a tent set up temporarily, division commander Huang Shouxin was standing in front of a map and watching, frowning from time to time. He said to himself: "According to this way of fighting, before the devil passes, my troops will be exhausted, and this fucking battle is really impossible to fight."

Huang Shouxin instructed the signal corps, saying, "Hurry up and ask, when will those Sichuan rats who are reinforced arrive?" As soon as they arrived on the battlefield, they also learned to preserve their strength and bluff, and they haven't reached such a long time since the dog's day. ”

The signal corpsman shook his phone and shouted loudly: "When will the reinforcements arrive?" When will the reinforcements arrive? ”

At this moment, He Chaojun walked into the command post with a gust of wind and said, "Report to the division commander, Chaojun saw the division commander's handwritten order, and he didn't know why he wanted to retreat immediately?" Although this Gualal Mountain is a small hill, its strategic position is very important, and as soon as we retreat, the devils will drive straight in, and the south will be in danger."

Huang Shouxin waved his hand and said: "I knew you would come over to question, let me tell you Battalion Commander He, we didn't lose this position, but we let the newly arrived Sichuan rats take over, we changed guards and rested, and we will continue when the Sichuan rats are tired."

He Chaojun suddenly realized: "Division commander, I see, but our soldiers are unwilling to withdraw and are willing to fight with the devil to the end, please make it clear."

Huang Shouxin said angrily: "He Chaojun, do you want to wipe out all my family?" ”

He Chaojun was frightened and said: "Report to the division commander, Chaojun has no such intention, I just want to kill a few more devils."

Huang Shouxin said: "Okay, you go back to the position immediately, as soon as the Sichuan army arrives, you will quickly withdraw and retreat ten miles to rest."

He Chaojun finally tried to say: "Commander? ”

Huang Shouxin said impatiently: "If you are verbose, I will remove you?" ”

He Chaojun had no choice but to walk out of the command post. At this time, the signal corps finally confirmed on the phone that the 163rd Division of the Sichuan Army had rushed to the Gualal Mountain position within ten minutes to enter the battle.

Huang Shouxin walked to the door of the command post and shouted to He Chaojun, who was walking towards the mountain: "Battalion Commander He, the 163rd Division of the Sichuan Army will arrive in ten minutes, please order the soldiers to prepare for disarming."

He Chaojun turned back and saluted, turned around and walked towards the mountain.

Sitting back in the chair, Huang Shouxin showed a tired smile on his face, and said to himself: "Lao Tzu insisted on three days and three nights, and it was time to take a rest, so let those Sichuan rats spend time with devils here."
