Xu Yun, the commander of the 256th Regiment, was killed, and Gao Quan took over the command of the regiment and commanded the troops to continue to hold the 135 Heights.

After Gao Quan took over the troops, he appointed Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi, who had followed him from the 29th Army, as the commanders of the second and third battalions respectively, and the commander of the first battalion was concurrently served by himself.

At the same time, Gao Quan wrote a written report and asked a guard to send it to the division commander Kong Fanying. It is better to report the matter of the change of generals on the battlefield to the higher commander as early as possible, and it is estimated that the war is tightening at this time, and the division will not send another regiment commander over. In the report, Gao Quan told the truth about the difficulties in his regiment, did not deliberately exaggerate, and asked the division commander to send some reinforcements. At the same time, he also wrote his decision to abandon part of the position, but promised not to withdraw from the 153 Heights. This method of warfare is risky, and in order to hold the high ground, it is expedient to abandon a small part of the position, and it is better not to be misunderstood by the commanders that he has retreated from the enemy without authorization.

After the report was written, he handed it to the soldier of the guard platoon to put it away closely, and told him to be careful all the way, and not to come back when he arrived at the division headquarters. The young man was moved to tears, and promised the new regiment commander that as soon as he handed over the letter to the division commander, he would rush back to join the battle immediately! Gao Quan smiled bitterly in his heart, and waved his hand to let this clever young man hurry up. This is likely to be a place of death, and it is unknown whether he can walk down this hill alive, this young man, still young, has a chance to live, why should he rush back to die?

In fact, how could he not be like that himself? Knowing that the Nanhuaihua position was a powder keg and the focus of contention between China and Japan, the battle here was so cruel that it was beyond the limit! As long as you are on this battlefield, no one can guarantee that you will be able to leave alive! I didn't see it, a lieutenant general like Hao Mengling, the commander-in-chief of the Central Corps, all said that if he died in battle, he would die in battle! Regiment Commander Xu Yun, in the regimental command post where the devil's cannon theoretically shoots dead corners, also said that if you die in battle, you will die in battle! As long as you don't want to run away, don't want to be a deserter, have the determination to fight the devil to the end, and have the belief that you will fight to the death for the Chinese nation to get rid of foreign humiliation as soon as possible, you will continue to fight on this battlefield. In this big battlefield, although his life was in danger anytime and anywhere, Gao Quan still threw himself into this battle without hesitation, and never thought of quitting from beginning to end.

Now he didn't think so much in his heart at all, all Gao Quan was thinking about now was how he could hold this position, and with his brain and hands, how to nail down this position.

This idea came from the great war more than ten years later, when the soldiers of our country and the superpower on the other side of the ocean fought for dozens of days on that exotic hill called Shangganling. Our soldiers invented a method of tunnel warfare, the hill was occupied by the enemy, and our army still held on in the tunnel halfway up the mountain.

Gao Quan now has this idea, he wants the troops to dig the fortifications into the mountain on the mountain, not to mention whether the tunnel will succeed or not, since our soldiers can rely on this to get rid of the Western devils in more than ten years, there is no reason why they can't deal with the Oriental devils with this set of tactics today.

The position occupied by the 1st battalion was at the highest peak, and it was also the place where the most shells were absorbed, and the tunnels could not be dug here, of course. Gao Quan's most important thing at this time was to check the heavy weapons in the regiment. There were still two mortars, four heavy machine guns, and several light machine guns left in the regiment, and in addition to these, the soldiers had one or two guns. Originally, it was one for one person, but in addition to the guns of the sacrificed comrades, there were several hand-to-hand fights with the devils who rushed to the position, and there were also a lot of devils left.

After reconfiguring the weapon, Gao Quan asked the herald to inform Qian Sixi: "Immediately dig a bunker on the mountain, dig deeper, the deeper the better, it is best to hollow out the mountain!" ”

This order made the herald who went to give the order stunned for a moment, wondering if Gao Quan had said it wrong, or if he had heard it wrong, until the regiment commander repeated it again, and the herald turned around and ran quickly to convey the order.

The devils are attacking again. Wang Dazhu led the soldiers of the second battalion to symbolically fight, and then gave up the position to the devils. This can make the devil very happy. A few days ago, how much did they pay to win this small position? How many people died? Today's battle is a good one! The little devils already knew from the deciphered Chinese telegram that their indiscriminate artillery killed the commander of the Central Corps, General Hao Mengling. It seems that it was because of the death of the battlefield commander that the Chinese defenders were disordered! The devil commander was excited, and immediately gave an order to the troops to launch a fierce attack on the main peak!

Gao Quan stood next to the two mortars in the regiment, holding his binoculars and observing the forward position occupied by the devils, and at the same time his right hand was stretched out in front of him, as if he was making some gestures, and his five fingers were doing various movements strangely, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was reciting some kind of exorcism spell. The devil commander brandished his command knife and shouted and commanded a large group of devils to rush over here.

"The azimuth is fifteen degrees north-south, four hundred and thirty meters away, launch!"

The artillerymen looked at their regiment commander with straight eyes. Unexpectedly, this young regiment leader is still a warlock with spells, who can pinch and chant spells, subdue demons and catch ghosts! It's okay now, there's no need to fight, as long as the head of the regiment recites the mantra, let these little devils call Zhong Kui to catch them! Now the soldiers of the whole regiment know that the regiment commander's luck is evil, this side has just arrived at the position of the first battalion, and the regimental command post over there was blown up by the devil's shell. The big guys all said that if it weren't for the deputy staff seat for the town, the devil's shells would have blown up the regimental headquarters where the tent was set up a long time ago. As soon as Regiment Commander Xu asked Regiment Commander Gao to sit in the first battalion, there was no god of Zhenshan, and he immediately attracted the bombardment of devils!

The more low-educated the soldiers, the more they believe in these gods and ghosts, Gao Quan is now a bit of a fortune-teller under the bridge in their minds, and the poor party has not heard any rumors.

Listening to the regiment commander report a series of firing coordinate units, the artillerymen hurriedly concentrated on aiming and firing!

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two puffs of smoke exploded in the crowd of devils! Two mortar shells exploded right in the group of devils, and the devils were like a wheat field hit by hail, and a large piece fell in the blink of an eye, and more than 20 devils were killed by the two shells!

The commander of the devil was furious, and the attack formation that had just been lined up was blown up by two mortar shells, and it also caused a lot of casualties. Regroup here, and order the grenadiers to return fire immediately.

After Gao Quan finished fighting, he let people carry his two precious mortars and transfer. After the devils regrouped and began to charge, on the way to charge, they were blocked by the two mortars again, and this time they lost more than a dozen people, and a team was reimbursed like this!
