Chapter 254: A Small Victory in the First Battle
The banner of the 'Erlang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade' was replaced, and it was replaced by the banner of the 'Erlang Mountain Battle Day Bandit Battalion' that Feng Zhongliang later privately found someone to copy.
The bright red bottom, the golden yellow characters, stretch at the highest point of the phoenix in the face of the grinning mountain wind.
The three hundred dead men looked up at the banner that had brought them infinite longing, and were speechless with tears in their eyes. Most of them followed Ye Liuye during the Zhongyitang period, and although a small half joined later, it was also the period when the banner of this exhibition was fluttering in the wind.
"Virtue is loyalty, righteousness is righteousness, with my virtue, for the heavens!"
I don't know which brother was the first to shout this oath of Zhongyitang, as if he was infected, first a few brothers followed, then dozens of brothers followed, and finally 300 brothers shouted in unison: "Virtue is loyalty, righteousness is righteousness, with my virtue, for the heavens!" ”
The sound was absolutely deafening.
Ye Tufei pressed down with both hands, allowing the brothers to calm down for the time being.
"Brothers! You are all good brothers who have followed me Ye Tufei for many years, good men, today, I, Ye Tufei, want to leave you behind, do you know what it means to stay? ”
One of the brothers who was closer to Ye Tufei replied: "To stay is to fight with Little Japan and buy time for the retreating brothers!" ”
Ye Tufei asked again: "Then are you afraid?" Do you regret it? ”
What answered Ye Tufei was a burst of laughter from the brothers.
An old brother of Zhongyitang shouted after laughing: "Sixth master, I haven't seen you for a year, how did you become a mother-in-law?" The brethren say, "Isn't it?" ”
Once again, the brothers burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, another brother stepped forward, looked up at the banner of the bandit camp, and shouted, "Brothers! Looking at this banner, we can't insult the name of our bandit battalion! Our old men will not be afraid of death, but we are afraid that many years later, future generations will say that our bandit battalion is a coward! ”
The brethren laughed again.
In the midst of laughter, Feng Zhongliang stood in front of his brothers with an iron face.
"Are our brothers in the bandit camp cowards?"
The three hundred brethren shouted in unison: "Of course not! ”
"Are our brothers in the bandit camp afraid of death?"
The three hundred dead men shouted in unison: "Of course you are not afraid! ”
Feng Zhongliang turned his face and turned to Ye Tufei: "Sixth Master, you give an order!" ”
Ye Tufei looked serious, and said loudly: "Brothers, you have followed me Ye Tufei, for nearly five years, and for more than two years, I Ye Tufei can't give my brothers gold and silver, that is, I just took my brothers to eat a full meal......" As he spoke, Ye Tufei choked up. "As a brother, the most common thing to say is not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year...... It's worth it! ”
The three hundred dead men knelt down in front of Ye Tufei, and under the leadership of Feng Zhongliang, they shouted in unison: "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!" ”
Ye Tufei turned around and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Stand up!" Ye Tufei still didn't turn around, "Little Japan's bombers are coming, I need two clever brothers to stay on top of this phoenix now, and the other brothers will immediately descend from the back ridge." ”
Shi Heizi was the first to stand up: "Sixth Master, don't look at me and I can't speak, I'm excited on the battlefield!" ”
was robbed of the first place by Ishiheoko, and the brothers were unwilling to lose the second, so they asked Ye Tufei to fight.
Ye Tufei patted Shi Kuroko on the shoulder, and then nodded to a brother casually, and ordered: "You two go to the front ridge to hide, bring enough grenades, and when the bombers of Little Japan are finished bombing, and when the infantry of Little Japan begins to charge to the top, use grenades to block them for a while, we need to fight with Little Japan to speed up, and climb to the top of the phoenix one step ahead of them." Do you two have faith? ”
Shi Heizi nodded and responded, "Don't worry, Sixth Master." ”
Ye Tufei told again: "What I want is for the two of you to block the speed of the little Japanese charge, but not for the two of you to fight hard with the little Japan, after you throw the grenade, you can go down from the south side of the mountain, although the mountain is steep, but be smart, you can always find life." ”
Hand-to-hand rock climbing used to be an important subject for Ye Tufei's training team, and the cliff on the south side of Phoenix Ridge is the training ground that Ye Tufei used for the longest time.
Shi Heizi and the brother Ye Tufei casually clicked on happened to be good at climbing this ridge with bare hands.
The two men took the order to leave, and after that, Ye Tufei ordered the brothers to take off their coats and hats, wrap them in stones, and disguise them as a lying team on top of the phoenix.
"The top of the phoenix is too exposed, and the pilots of the little Japanese can easily see the target clearly, and if they don't do these camouflages, those pilots won't throw down the ammunition they are carrying." Ye Tufei explained to Feng Zhongliang, who was a little puzzled.
Li Zhongyun, who was on the side, added: "The sixth master wants the little Japanese planes to consume all the ammunition, so that when they find out that they have been fooled, they need to fly back to reload the ammunition." Airplanes are not artillery, and loading ammunition is cumbersome. ”
The brothers quickly made a good disguise, Ye Tufei observed, the camouflage was very rough, it is difficult to say whether he can hide it from the pilots of Little Japan, but the conditions are limited, and the time is even more limited, so it can only be like this.
Five minutes later, all the brothers withdrew down the mountain along the back ridge of Phoenix Ridge.
After a while, a faint roar was heard in the sky.
Four bombers flew in formation over the top of the phoenix.
Suddenly, the sound of explosions enveloped the entire valley, and thick smoke rose from the top of the phoenix.
Little Japan was eager to destroy the will of the Erlang Mountain armed forces to resist, so it was bombarded with the highest intensity. For this purpose, the pilots on the four bombers did not carefully observe the situation on the top of the phoenix at all, and made combat maneuvers when they saw the "likeness".
The four bombers took turns to dive, dumping all the ammunition they were carrying on the top of the phoenix, which was only about 100 meters in diameter.
After dropping the bombs, the four bombers triumphantly circled twice on the top of the phoenix, and then flew away from the Erlang Mountains.
Seeing that Little Japan's plane had changed course, Ye Tufei gave an order, and the three hundred dead soldiers immediately rushed to the top of the phoenix from the back ridge.
The north and south sides of the Phoenix Peak are precipices, the west side is the front ridge, which is a ridge about two miles long, and the east side is the back ridge, although it is not a cliff, but it is also a rather steep slope.
Although the distance is relatively far, the difficulty is quite small, and it will save time than going up from the back ridge.
This is also the reason why Ye Tufei arranged for two clever brothers to ambush on the front ridge.
Ye Tufei's skills among the brothers were the best, and he naturally rushed to the first place, behind him were Duguyu and Li Zhongyun, Feng Zhongliang was one-armed, and he really suffered a loss for climbing such a steep hill, and was left behind by the brothers.
When they rushed halfway up the mountain, the explosion of a grenade came from the direction of the front ridge, and it was obvious that it was Ishikuro and the two of them blocking Little Japan.
"Quick!"
There is only one word in everyone's hearts.
Reaching the summit faster than little Japan would mean sacrificing dozens of lives.
Ye Tufei didn't care about the speed of greeting and taking care of the brothers, he exerted his potential to the limit, and rushed to the top of the phoenix as fast as he could.
At this time, the grenade explosion in the front ridge had stopped, that is, Ishikuro had already thrown off all the grenades they were carrying.
Ye Tufei quickly circled half a circle and pounced on the front edge of the front ridge facing the top of the phoenix.
Little Japan hasn't even rushed up yet!
After setting up the gun and pulling the bolt, Ye Tufei could take care of exploring in the direction of Qianling.
A magnificent scene came into Ye Tufei's eyes.
Ishiguroko strangled a small Japanese officer in his left hand, carried a number of grenades tied together in his right hand, and held the fuse of the grenade in his mouth.
"Kuroko! My good brother! ”
Ye Tufei shouted in his heart for Shi Heizi.
The distance is not far, that is, dozens of meters, if Ye Tufei makes a sound, Shi Heizi should be able to hear it.
However, Ye Tufei could only shout in his heart, otherwise, Shi Heizi's sacrifice would lose its value.
Shi Heizi seemed to hear Ye Tufei's shout, he turned his head, glanced in the direction of Ye Tufei, and then with a smile, he bit the lead with his teeth, twisted his head, and the bundle of grenades emitted green smoke.
Ye Tufei buried his head in the rubble pile in pain......
After a loud bang, only the smoke in the sky remained, and at this time, Dugu Yu and Li Zhongyun had already rushed to Ye Tufei's side.
"Sixth Master, what's the matter?"
With tears in his eyes, Ye Tufei slowly shook his head and said, "It's nothing!" Let the brethren move a little quieter, hide yourself, and give me a hard beating when little Japan rushes up! ”
From the bombardment of the mouth of the valley, to the bombardment of the Phoenix Peak, until the two brothers Ishikuro and his two brothers blocked the Japanese army on the front ridge, this was the first resistance of the Erlang Mountain armed forces, and although this resistance was fierce, the intensity of the resistance did seem to be a little unsightly, and the little Japanese would inevitably be proud and underestimate the enemy, and they thought that these two stubborn Chinese bandits who resisted with grenades were just survivors of the bombing by the planes just now.
With this kind of thinking, the first wave of more than 50 Japanese soldiers who attacked the top of the phoenix seemed to be very relaxed, and they almost walked straight to the top of the phoenix.
"Use all the light and heavy firepower, Li Laosi, tell your people to pay attention to the leaks, I don't want to see one of these little Japanese people running back alive!"
About thirty meters near the front of the Phoenix Summit, Li Zhongyun gave an order, and suddenly there was a burst of gunfire.
Little Japan reacted very quickly, and almost at the same time as the gunshots rang out, all those who were not shot fell to the ground.
Thirty meters away, what can it be for the members of the sharpshooter team trained by Li Zhongyun? Although the angle was not good, the little Japanese had become a stationary target when they were lying on the ground, and the dozen or so sharpshooter brothers took the roll call one by one, but in just three or two minutes, they completed the task assigned by the sixth master.
