Chapter 425: Southern Geckos, Northern Locusts
The last afterglow of the sunset finally disappeared into the sky, and the autumn cicadas faintly screamed in the evening breeze, and the night fell. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the assault team set off.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of Zhanggu Mountain in the night, and when they looked up, the mountain, which did not look very high during the day, was now like a huge black and impassable mountain beast.
A whispered command came from the darkness with only one word: "Up!" And so began a difficult climb.
Huo Xiaoshan and his own men did not climb up in the same place as the 305th Regiment, because he needed to take care of Zheng Youjian, and they also brought an extra heavy machine gun, although the barrel and gun carriage were tied to Houshun by Hanzi and Manghan respectively.
Huo Xiaoshan was the first to climb up, and no one could see where he had climbed in the night, but Shen Chong, who was under his feet when he first set off, heard the slight sound he made as he climbed the mountain as he gradually climbed higher.
The mountain is steep and the night is dark, Huo Xiaoshan is not the legendary Xianxia who can walk up this steep hill like a ghost, but Rao is like this, Huo Xiaoshan, who is still carrying a bundle of ropes on his back, climbs this steep slope much faster than others.
He needs this rope to help Zheng Yujian and Hanzi with their heavy machine guns.
The Japanese army did not fortify the southern slope because they naturally thought that they could not climb here, at least they subconsciously felt that they could not climb up, and this was from an indirect point of view to know its difficulty.
And in fact, it is exactly like this, the almost upright angle above is nothing more than mountain vines and arrowfish, during the day climbing can still see the edges and corners of the mountain vines and stones, the hand finally has a focus, and this can only be touched by the hand at night.
A distance of 200 meters, people run like the wind, but if they crawl forward, then they can only turn from a vigorous rabbit to a slow snail, and if they go further, if they climb up again, they are destined to be a gecko, but unfortunately there are no suckers on the limbs.
Huo Xiaoshan is one thing the same as everyone else, he is not a gecko, and he does not have a sucker.
But one thing that is different from everyone else is that you only need to give him a little bit of strength, and he can pull his body up.
This can be the convex or recessed spot of the rock that allows him to take one or even two fingers, or the kudzu vine on the hillside that has grown completely strong enough.
What's more, the hillside is too steep, and it is not easy to stand, but after all, you can have a place for your feet to kick up, and you don't always need to do pull-ups.
During the day, Huo Xiaoshan had already observed from afar with a telescope, so it was really not difficult for him to climb this steep slope.
Although the mountain is steep, it is not the sinkhole Jedi he once fell into, so it is called the wall high but as horizontal as a mirror!
The only thing he has to pay attention to is that the night is too dark, Teng Man in his hand must be grasped, he is not a nine-life monster cat with a long tail falling from a high place, nothing is wrong, if he really misses, he will be hated for eternity, this truth is also completely true for him.
Shen Chong and none of them climbed very fast, although they could have been faster.
When the battle was deployed, Huo Xiaoshan said this to them.
Don't be in a hurry, climb to the top of the mountain without fail!
We're fighting, not listening to the commentary in the teahouse, I don't need you to play any thrilling moments, suddenly stumble and then in a hurry, and then grab some rocks, vines, kudzu and the like to play trapeze.
What I need is for you to climb to the top of the mountain steadily, and if you really stumble, remember that no one can save you!
Do you know what's more tragic than falling into a pulp?
Let me tell you, what is more tragic than falling into the flesh is that you fall and you can't scream!
You must know that you have fallen, but you must fall to your death infinitely in grief and not make any sound, except for the moment your body hits the ground, a "chirp"!
We're on a sneak attack, and we're not going to have you to scream until we die!
Don't tell me anything, what to shout before you die, "Eighteen years later, I will be a good man again", what "little devil, I * your eight ancestors", "What", "Dad, mother, come to honor the second elder in the next life", "What nonsense" daughter-in-law, we will still be husband and wife in the next life".
It is very important to climb to the top of the mountain alive, and if you die, you have to jump off the cliff with a devil, not if you don't kill a devil, you fall to your death first, this is my Huo Xiaoshan's soldier!
Huo Xiaoshan didn't deliberately avoid anything when he said this, the brigade commander of the 153 Brigade was also by his side, as for what the brigade commander thought of Huo Xiaoshan, he didn't care.
He just said from the bottom of his heart that he didn't need to win any favor from the other party, and he wouldn't deliberately create a low profile in front of others, which was Huo Xiaoshan's style.
The night is like ink, the mountain wall is steep, and the soldiers of both the 305th Regiment and the Quartermaster Department are climbing the rock carefully, always letting go of the other hand to find the next point of focus after one hand is firmly attached or grasped.
Climbing in the dark is difficult, but there is also a bonus, which is that you just need to do your current move, you can look up or down, but you will never get dizzy because you can't see anything.
About halfway up their climb, their arms began to sore, but everyone was still trying to get up.
At this moment, a fierce gunfire explosion suddenly came from the high ground of Changling in the north of Zhanggu Mountain, which was a feint attack carried out by the main force of the 153rd Brigade to cooperate with their small detachment.
It was said that it was a feint attack aimed at Zhanggushan, so as to attract the attention of the Japanese troops on Zhanggushan, but it was a real night attack on that height.
The 153rd Brigade was undoubtedly inferior in terms of heavy firepower compared to the Japanese army, and they were not even as good as the quartermaster department when they were fully armed in terms of heavy machine gun matching.
But the brigade commander adopted the same tactics as Huo Xiaoshan, that is, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, he touched and killed the Japanese army.
The Japanese army's firepower advantage was no longer able to be brought into play, and the combat level of the soldiers of the 153rd Brigade in the night battle of light weapons was by no means lower than that of the Japanese army, and these soldiers also included the remaining personnel of the company led by Huo Xiaoshan, who were led by Shi Biao Dung Ball.
When the soldiers of the quartermaster department were fighting with the Japanese army, in the faint light of the gunfire explosion, the soldiers of the 153rd Brigade saw that the soldiers who did not even have military uniforms and rushed into the Japanese army with an indomitable spirit like the tip of an arrow cluster.
The short assault of the box gun, the pick-and-smash of the rifle, the timely blasting of the grenade, and the skillful and tacit cover of any combination of soldiers, all of these things are as harmonious as flowing water, and the combat efficiency is extremely high, and there is no lack of courage to die with the enemy, but it can always minimize one's own losses.
When the soldiers of the 153rd Brigade followed in the footsteps of the Quartermaster Department and killed the enemy all the way, they saw that the soldiers of the Quartermaster Department were really lying in wait all the way, so a soldier of the 153rd Brigade sighed, "This is a swarm of locusts!" ”
Since then, Huo Xiaoshan's department has an additional nickname called "Locust", and the locusts have passed, and the Japanese army has ambushed corpses everywhere and left no armor!
At the same time, on the southern slope of Zhanggu Mountain, the assault detachment finally succeeded in reaching the top.
The last one to come up from the quartermaster department was Zheng Youjian, he was thrown down by Huo Xiaoshan and tied it around his waist to help get it, that rope was like a safety rope for aerial work in later generations, if it weren't for this rope, Zheng Youjian said to himself that he would have fallen to his death at least five times.
But despite Zheng Youjian, the one who dragged the oil bottle, Huo Xiaoshan's twenty people were still faster than the people of the 153rd Brigade.
Because when the first soldier of the 153rd Brigade climbed to the top of the mountain, in the faint light of the explosion in the distance, he saw that this was Zheng Youjian's butt that he was pouting when he just climbed up!
When Fang Ai, the leader of the assault detachment, found Huo Xiaoshan in the dark night, the first thing he said in a low voice was not "prepare for battle", but "Are all of your people geckos?" ”
