Chapter XVIII

The two men had a difference of opinion at first, talking and talking louder and louder, and the fighters on both sides also glared angrily, seeing that the conflict was about to escalate. It was at this time that the devil's attack began again.

Commander Wang took the gun and entered the position, leaving Li San standing alone. He pondered for a moment, and if he was idle anyway, he would be idle, so let's just take the troops to the sub-position first and then talk about it.

There are two secondary positions, one on the left and right sides of the main peak. Regimental Commander Wang placed a reinforced company on each of the two deputy positions, and now the two companies added together are less than half a company. As soon as the 1st Regiment of the 88th Column came over, the company commander on the deputy position had obviously received the order of the regiment commander, and after explaining the situation of the position, the people directly withdrew to the main peak with their people.

The terrain of the secondary position was narrow, and a battalion would be next to each other. If the density of personnel is high, our army will suffer a large number of casualties in one artillery fire. Li San simply put a reinforcement company on the side, and the rest of the people found a hidden place to rest for the time being, and then added it when the front could not withstand it.

The devils had already attacked halfway up the hill, and the fighters did not have time to adapt to their positions and immediately launched a counterattack. The devils who attacked from the bottom up knew that there were not many defenders on the secondary position, and the Japanese commander sent more than 200 devils to prepare to take the relatively gentle slope of the left auxiliary position in one fell swoop.

After a simple artillery test, more than 200 devils began to climb the hillside like ants, and the soldiers of the 88th Column shot at the devils on the hillside as much as they wanted. Bullets rained down the hillside and rained down on the devils who climbed the mountain, knocking down a large area like a strong wind blowing through a wheat field.

The devil officer, who was holding a war knife and urging the troops to speed up, was quite clever, and this kid felt that something was wrong, so he hid behind the stone as soon as possible. By the time this guy looked out, the devil soldiers had already rolled down the hill, and he lost dozens of subordinates in this round of charge.

The enraged devil officer gave vent to the hill with swear words and obscene gestures, and then organized the defeated troops to rearrange the formation, waiting for the next round of artillery cover to attack again.

In this way, the devil rushed up and was beaten down, rushed up and was beaten down again, and after three rounds of attacks in a row to no avail, the devil finally found that the sub-position that seemed to be in danger had become the most difficult hard bone to gnaw.

Change the offensive routine! The commander of the devil battlefield was quite improvised, and seeing that the momentum was not right, he immediately slowed down the attack on the auxiliary positions on both sides. No reinforcements were sent, but those people were dragged in place, but he invested more troops in the direction of the main peak.

On the main peak, Commander Wang of the 12th Division led the troops to stand hard here. Just now, the friendly troops of the Eighth and Eighth Columns wanted to take over the main peak, but he didn't let him, and now he can't save face by calling others to support him. Anyway, the secondary position has been handed over, and he will carry this main position here. Even if you die, you have to die on the battlefield!

The sound of guns and cannons continued one after another, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the guns came and went in a murderous and vicious battle, and the blood of the soldiers of the two armies stained the mountains red. Li San knew that the main position was difficult, but he really couldn't force his troops to take over the main peak. A soldier has the dignity of a soldier, and he is also a soldier and knows the feelings of the head of the king on the main peak.

The friendly forces are in difficulty, and it is not easy for my side to send people over to support, so what should I do? Li San shook his head, come on, everyone is a comrade-in-arms who fights devils side by side, why do you talk so much face?

Li San asked his chief of staff to lead ten soldiers to bring two heavy machine guns and a few boxes of ammunition to the main peak position. At the same time, let the chief of staff tell Commander Wang of the main peak, when can he not stand it and say, we need people and guns here, and the first regiment of the 88th Column can go up to support at any time.

It's fun enough to be an ally! Head Wang understood. But again, a soldier has the dignity of a soldier, and a soldier has the responsibility of a soldier. The main peak position is his, and he will never hand over the position to others without the commander's order, even if the whole regiment dies, he will have to die here!

As for the friendly chief of staff, what he said was to support rather than take over, but he was directly ignored by Commander Wang. Anyway, I'm going to live and die with the position, die here, live here, and wait for my people to die, what do you like! This one has drilled the tip of the bull's horns.

"Thank you for the machine guns. The order I received was to hold the position, and without the order from the top, Wang did not dare to leave without permission. Please tell Commander Li that I will leave the machine gun, and I will receive it with kindness! ”

The chief of staff had no choice but to leave the machine gun and bullets and go back to report to the regiment commander. Li San shook his hand after hearing it, it's over! A good regiment, just because the regiment commander is going to die on the battlefield alone! What he can do now is to let his troops on the secondary position give the main peak as little fire support as possible.

"Carry two mortars to the right position and support the main peak with shells!" That being said, how much support can the two mortars give to the main peak Li San didn't have any bottom in his heart, hoping that they would be blessed with great fortune and could survive this hurdle.

If things develop normally at the station, the regiment on the main peak, including the troops under the mountain, will not be any better, and the 12th Division, which is very strange, will inevitably suffer heavy losses today, but now it's not Hu Fei. Originally, Hu Fei and those who didn't belong to this battle in the first place, now that he came, the process of this battle was of course different from the original.

First of all, the two regiments of the 12th Division, which were blocked by a Japanese brigade, broke through the Japanese blockade, and drove the brigade blocking the road to the front mountain of Tashan, and merged with the devils who were attacking the mountain.

It's not that two devil forces are strong when they are combined, but the reality is quite the opposite. The captain of the devil brigade who was brought over by Hu Fei and Cun Xingqi is called Murayama Shaoza, and the captain of the devil brigade who commanded the troops to storm the main peak of Tashan is Captain Abe.

It can be seen from the military ranks of the two that Murayama Shaosa is older than Captain Abe, and his military rank is also higher. Therefore, don't look at Murayama Shaosa, who lost the battle and came to find a backer, he didn't plan to buy Captain Abe's account at all.

As for Captain Abe, he has been attacking the main peak for a long time, and the wounded soldiers are at a loss and don't know what to do. Now that the reinforcements are coming, why don't you let the reinforcements rush up? As a result, as soon as he told Murayama Shaozo about the situation, Murayama Shaozo shook his head, "No, no, my troops have been fighting hard for six hours in a row, and now they need to rest and can't continue to fight." ”

Six hours of hard fighting? After six hours of hard fighting, why are you here? Seeing that the reinforcements were not going to help, Captain Abe was unhappy in his heart.
