Han Xing smiled slightly: "The family doesn't talk to each other. If you were, you would. How's your back injury? ”

Zhang Lingfu touched his waist, where the bandages had already been applied, nodded and said, "What is this little injury!" If I don't say thank you, I won't say thank you. Chief of Staff Han, have you found anything wrong with Zhang Gushan? ”

Han Xing had already seen through Zhang Gushan's form, but at this time, in order to verify whether Zhang Lingfu's judgment was the same as his own, he had no choice but to say: "Brigade Commander Zhang, tell me, what's wrong with Zhang Gushan?" ”

Zhang Lingfu said as he walked: "According to our firepower configuration and the terrain of Zhanggushan, I found that Zhanggushan is easy to attack and difficult to defend. ”

Han Xing listened to this, and pondered in his heart, it seems that Zhang Lingfu completely kidnapped the J-20 fighter formation and helicopter formation of the Southern Expeditionary Army to the 153 Brigade of the 51st Division. But after calming down a little and thinking about it, this is actually no way, in the critical battle, it is necessary to concentrate all the advantages and abandon the disharmony between the two sides to complete the task of conquering Zhang Gushan.

When he arrived at the station of the 153 Brigade, Zhang Lingfu arranged for the seriously wounded to rest in the rear, and immediately gathered all the officers and men of the brigade to speak.

At this time, there were not many people in the 153 Brigade, and there were still more than 1,000 people. However, although there were not many people, they were still neatly arranged in the small square according to the structure of regiments, battalions, and companies, and although they were ragged, dirty, and torn, and although their faces were full of darkness and their eye sockets were deep-set, they were all extremely energetic, murderous, energetic, and full of fighting passion.

Zhang Lingfu stood one step forward. The duty commander yelled: "Lizheng-"

The officers and men of the whole brigade "brushed" the ground, as if a mold was pulled out, and all of them stood upright.

This neat and uniform action also made Han Xing, who was watching from the side, feel deeply shocked, only to feel the blood boiling all over his body, his hair standing up, his chest straight, his calves straight, and his hands drooping, and he couldn't help but stand upright.

"Please take a break!" Zhang Lingfu yelled.

All the officers and men in the audience "brushed" again, and all of them took a breath. Even this momentary action was surprisingly unanimous among the officers and men of the whole brigade.

With the sonorous strength of a soldier, Zhang Lingfu said loudly: "This battle was fought well, destroying more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, and letting them know how powerful our Chinese soldiers are. In particular, the 305th regiment, not a single person retreated, preferring to die in battle, not to be scared to death. Regiment commander Tang Shenghai and battalion commander Hu Xiong were seriously wounded, battalion commander Wang Zhigan was killed, and officers and men below the company commander suffered huge casualties. On behalf of the 153 Brigade, I salute you! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Lingfu saluted the officers and men of the 305th Regiment with a standard military salute.

This military salute was enough to make the officers and men of the 305th Regiment excited for a long time.

"Now, the officers and soldiers of the 305th Regiment, who has the highest official position?"

An officer of the 305th Regiment took a step forward and reported loudly: "Yu Qingxiang, the commander of the third battalion of the 305th Regiment, reports to you that the 305th Regiment is currently my highest official position. ”

"That's good," Zhang Lingfu said excitedly, "You are now the acting head of the 305th Regiment." ”

Yu Qingxiang stood upright, saluted a military salute, and shouted: "Yes!" ”

Zhang Lingfu encouraged him again: "At night, when the devil's plane cannot move, we will attack again and take Zhang Gushan back." You will organize a death squad of 500 people, do you have any confidence!? ”

Yu Qingxiang saluted again, and roared: "Yes! ”

Zhang Lingfu turned to all the officers and soldiers of the 153rd Brigade again: "All of them are there, and attacking Zhang Gushan at night is another bitter battle." In this battle, it is possible to die at any time, and if there is someone who is unwilling to participate in the death squad, I will not force it. If you are willing to join the death squad, are ready to sacrifice your life for the country, and swear to defend the Chinese nation to the death, please stand upright. ”

"Brush-" The whole officer and soldier were surprisingly unanimous, all of them were upright, and there was not a single mischaracter.

Han Xing once again felt deeply shocked, to say that the Kuomintang did not resist Japan and was afraid of death, it was really not like that. At this moment when the survival of the nation is related to the critical battle of Zhang Gushan, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 153rd Brigade have all chosen the duty of being loyal to the country and defending China's sacred territory with their own lives!

The officers and soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army who followed Han also gave a deep military salute to the officers and soldiers of the 153rd Brigade......

On the question of whether to attack from the front or from the side of the cliff, Han Xing and Zhang Lingfu discussed again.

Zhang Lingfu said: "If we attack from the front, the slope is too big and the distance is too long, counting on our little strength, we finally rushed to the mountain, and there will be no one for a long time." I think it's better to attack from this side of the cliff. ”

Han Xing said: "The first time is called an attack, and the second time the devil is on guard, then it is not called an attack." ”

Zhang Lingfu said: "In my opinion, I hope that the air force of your Southern Expeditionary Army will strike first, and then suppress them with firepower when they are blown up to a pulp. If we infantry climb up the rope again, it is still possible to succeed. ”

Han Xing laughed in his heart, saying that if he came and turned it backwards, he still had to count on the air force of our Southern Expeditionary Army! So he said painlessly: "Brigade Commander Zhang, I have to ask for advice on this matter!" Isn't it something I personally said and just said? ”

When Zhang Lingfu arrived at this time, he had to pull down the brigade commander's shelf, and said in a begging tone: "Chief of Staff Han, you are a very mature military strategist, I am afraid you have already seen some things!" As I said, Zhang Gushan is easy to attack and difficult to defend, why, you actually know it in your heart. There is such a small place on the head of Zhang Gu Mountain, there is a burst of artillery fire, and the casualties are all lost, how can you defend it anymore. What the devil is fighting is artillery and airplanes, and what we are fighting is also the advantage of aircraft. It was dark, the devil's plane was not working, and our plane attacked in the air, and then with a charge, it was killed. In broad daylight, the devil's artillery plane exerted its strength, and with a charge, it came back again. If there is no advantage of the plane, this Zhang Gushan is really difficult to win. Chief of Staff Han, our 74th Division of the 51st Army is really counting on your Air Force. If we didn't have your air force, then how many more people would we have to die, and, as you said, the little devil is on guard, so he will defend the cliff to the death, how many people do we have to fill in before we can rush up? ”

Zhang Lingfu said this bitterly, and Han Xing also relented. Without the Air Force, the 153rd Brigade would indeed be in a very dangerous situation. Han Xing nodded and said, "I'll try my best, the Air Force must support you." ”

Zhang Lingfu held Han Xing's hand tightly and said, "Chief of Staff Han, you have already saved the life of our 305th Regiment and saved my life once, I have long remembered it. For the sake of our common anti-Japanese struggle, we have to ask your air force to help us again! ”

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, the air raid of the Southern Expeditionary Army began. The J-20 fighter aviation formation led by Xu Da came to the top of Zhang Gushan with such a Blue Arrow 7 air-to-ground missile.

These two missiles hit Zhang Gushan badly, flying shrapnel, huge shock waves, and a fire broke out all over the mountain. The fire raised thick black smoke again, and the corpses of the little devils were all over the mountain, and the little devils who were not dead were moaning, making Zhang Gu Mountain like hell.

Zhang Lingfu waved his hand, and several warriors with extraordinary skills carried the big rope and rushed up again, they climbed the cliff, using every small pine tree and every miscellaneous tree on the edge of the cliff, and struggled to climb up.

The little devil on the hill may have been prepared, and a few machine guns burst up towards the edge of the cliff. The helicopters of the Southern Expeditionary Army were dispatched, relying on their good night navigation ability and the fire on the mountain, a few heavy machine guns quickly suppressed the light machine guns of the little devils, and covered the soldiers carrying the big ropes and rushed to the top of the mountain.

More than a dozen ropes were thrown from the top of the mountain.

The members of the death squad below, one by one, climbed up the rope, one soldier was shot and fell from above, and more fighters still climbed up desperately.

The Chinese officers and soldiers on the top of the hill gathered more and more, accumulated enough numbers, and then began to clear the remnants of the Japanese army under the leadership of Yu Qingxiang, the acting commander of the 305th Regiment. There were gunshots, shouts of killing, and the popping of bayonets piercing flesh.

By the time Zhang Lingfu and Han Xing climbed up, the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain had been cleared. Yu Qingxiang came to report and said: "Report to Brigade Commander Zhang, there are more than 500 devils on the mountain, most of them were killed by bombs on the plane, and the rest have been cleaned up by us." What to do next, please ask the brigade commander for instructions. ”

Zhang Lingfu nodded and said happily: "We are finally standing on the top of Zhang Gushan again. ”

Looking at these more than 500 people, standing on the top of Zhang Gushan is indeed a bit dense. Han Xing frowned at Zhang Lingfu and whispered, "Next, the Japanese army will shell." If these people stay together, there must be a lot of casualties. It's better to withdraw some people for the time being, and when the little devils come up, it's not too late to come back to support. ”

Zhang Lingfu thought for a moment and said to Han Xing: "Chief of Staff Han is right to remind that instead of being bombed by them here, it is better to avoid their artillery fire first. After a while, the little devils will come up, and we will come up and beat them again. ”

So, Zhang Lingfu gave an order to Qingxiang: "Withdraw 300 people first, and leave 200 people on the mountain to monitor the little devils." ”

Yu Qingxiang was a little incomprehensible: "Why, just come up and have to withdraw so many people?" What should I do if the devil comes up? ”

Zhang Lingfu explained to him: "You can't all be bombed by little devils here!" The more people there are, the greater the casualties in front of the devil's shells, you can't help but understand this truth! ”

Yu Qingxiang nodded, and had no choice but to carry out the order.

Two hours later, after the devils had made careful preparations, then the shelling began. The devil was originally reluctant to fight at night, but because Zhang Gushan's position was too important, the devil had to break the routine and attack Zhang Gushan at night, so he must take it back in one go.

All kinds of mountain artillery shells, howitzer shells, and rapid-fire artillery shells flew towards Zhanggu Mountain, only to blow up the stones on Zhanggu Mountain, and the red soil was flying, and the original dead bodies were tossed again. The old fire had been extinguished, new flames had been formed, and the whole position was still red.
