After resting for a while, Watanabe raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, the time was close to five o'clock in the morning, he was about to order the troops to quietly go up the mountain, while the people of the New Fourth Army were asleep, to attack, but saw the battalion commander Zhen Lingshan of the Imperial Allied Army come to him with an officer, and whispered to him; "Taijun, my subordinates said that he has a suggestion for Taijun to consider. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After hearing this, Watanabe nodded; "Zhen Sang, please tell your subordinates."

Zhen Lingshan pointed to the officer who was with him; "This is one of my company commanders, named Qin Erhammer, he said that there is still a way up the ladder slope to detour," he said to Qin Erhammer; "Tell Taijun yourself."

Qin Erhammer hurriedly nodded to Watanabe in respect; "Taijun, I am familiar with this ladder slope, in addition to the main road of the ladder slope on the mountain, there is another path that can be detoured up, just take more roads, I think so, our Imperial Association Army detour from the path, I will first take one of my companies to open the road in front, our Imperial Army will detour up the mountain from the side road, your imperial army will go up the mountain from the main road of the front ladder slope, we will attack the general on both sides, so that the certainty of victory will be greater, what do you think?"

After Watanabe heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said happily; "Yo Si! In this way, the two groups of men and horses quietly attacked the general Ao, and wiped out all the sleeping Turkish Fourth Army, so to do it, your Imperial Alliance Army immediately quietly touched the mountain, prepared to attack on the other side, and waited for the soldiers of our Imperial Army to go up the mountain, and then launched an attack together. ”

Zhen Lingshan and Qin Erhammer returned to the Imperial Army, Qin Erhammer immediately led his company, set off in full gear, and they quietly detoured up the mountain from the path next to the Tiantian Ladder Slope under the cover of night.

After Zhen Lingshan waited for Qin Erhammer to set off for a while, he didn't see any movement on the mountain, and ordered the remaining two companies to slowly detour up the mountain from the path.

Watanabe ordered one squadron of the Japanese army to stand in front and another squadron to follow behind, quietly attacking the Tendai Slope, and he and Harada stood at the foot of the Tentai Slope to command.

The ladder slope mountain road is very spacious, you can line up a few people, but it is steep and straight, full of inclined slopes, there are thousands of cliffs on both sides, walking in the dark, if you don't pay attention to falling off the cliff, you will be broken to pieces.

The Japanese soldiers carefully climbed the hillside, the Japanese soldiers were also trained in night fighting, they were used to marching and fighting in the dark, they could see the end of the hillside in the distance, and the Japanese soldiers in front were also tired and panting, he suddenly found that next to the road to the top of the mountain, on the side of the strangely shaped rock, there were two sentries standing guard with guns, and the Japanese troops immediately stopped advancing and lay quiet.

Two Japanese soldiers quietly groped forward with their waists, the sentry standing guard seemed to be a little confused, listless, lazy and lax, and inattentive, when the Japanese soldier was about to approach the sentry, his body was close to the ground, crawling forward, the two of them suddenly jumped up, one hand around the sentry's neck, and the other hand stabbed the sentry in the chest with a bayonet, but unexpectedly, the sentry seemed to have some iron armor on his body, the bayonet could not be pierced, but was thrown to the ground by the sentry, and was hit by a rifle butt, the sentry pulled the plate machine, and the gun rang out, Two Japanese soldiers were killed by the sentries, who killed the Japanese soldiers who were sneaking up and quickly disappeared into the woods behind the rocks.

At this moment, all the Japanese soldiers were stunned at once, could it be that there was something strange about the Fourth Army of Turkey, why couldn't the bayonet stab him in the body? Naturally, they didn't know that the sentries of the New Fourth Army wore thin and hard cowhide protective shoulders around their necks, and bayonets could not pierce them at all.

The leader of the Japanese squadron who led the team was annoyed and angry, and immediately drew his command knife and screamed, ordering the Japanese soldiers to seize the high place of the ladder slope.

The Japanese soldiers immediately ran straight to the end of the ladder slope with their guns, and just ran for a while, they saw a lot of branches and vines piled up on the slope, which could not be seen clearly in the dark night, entangled in the feet of the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers could only slow down in the mess of branches and branches, and could not get up quickly.

Another Japanese squadron soldier who followed behind heard the sound of gunfire on the hillside, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the night, and saw the soldiers in front of him charge, and they also followed the charge, rushing into the branches and vines, and they were also entangled in their feet, and they were crowded with the soldiers in front, and the troops were a little confused in the dark.

Qin Erhammer led his company, and in one go, he made a detour from the path to the top of Jiangjun'ao Mountain, and when he reached the top of the mountain, according to the agreement with his father in advance, he 'cooed-' in the dark woods and learned to learn the cuckoo three times.

The dark woods also responded to the three cuckoo calls, and saw Qin Sanhammer come out of the woods and asked; "Is it the second brother?"

Qin Erzhu hurriedly replied; "It's me, third brother!"

Qin Sanhammer waved his hand at Qin Erhammer; "Second brother, come here."

Qin Erhammer immediately led his men towards the woods, Qin Sanhammer greeted him and introduced to the people around him; "Second brother, this is Lu Caiting, the captain of our independent column."

In the faint night starlight, Qin Erzhu recognized that person and exclaimed in surprise; "Alas! It's the second young master, I didn't expect that he had grown up, and he had become the captain of the independent column, which was really promising. "That person is Lu Caiting, their family has a good relationship with the Lu family, Lu Caiting and his fourth brother Qin Sihammer are classmates, they have been in and out of his house since they were young, and the Lu family also takes a lot of care of their family.

Lu Caiting grabbed Qin Erhammer's hand and said excitedly; "Welcome, second brother! You and your people are welcome to join our New Fourth Army Anti-Japanese Independent Column. After saying that, he waved his hand again and said enthusiastically to the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army behind Qin Erzhu; Brothers, welcome to the independent column and the fathers and villagers of Dongqiao Village! ”

Qin Erhammer immediately reached out and took off the large plate cover round military hat from his head, slammed it to the ground, and spoke to the soldiers under him; "Brothers, take off this hat and never be a second dog again! From now on, we will be upright soldiers of the New Fourth Army. ”

The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army of the entire company immediately obeyed the words of the company commander, and took off their large plate caps and fell to the ground, and some of them complained; "His grandmother's is all for the sake of eating, and now it's okay, the company commander led us to defect to the New Fourth Army, which is to walk towards the light."

Qin Erhammer asked Lu Caiting to fight; "Captain, the devil may have already touched the general, my brothers here are all angry, so they want to spread anger on the devil and give orders! I have two heavy machine guns and a dozen light machine guns in my company, so I'll say hello to the devils tonight. ”

"Okay," Lu Caiting agreed, turned around and pointed to the top of the Heavenly Ladder Slope in the dark night, and said to Qin Er; "You see, the road at the top of the Tiantai Slope is paved with branches and vines, and there are twenty or thirty mines hidden in the branches and vines, and when the devils touch it later, they will definitely be entangled in the branches and vines, and it will be a mess, and the people of our independent column will pull the mines, here and the top of the Tiantai Slope are separated by a ravine, slightly higher than the branches and vines, just ambush the devils, your people will ambush here later, condescending, and beat the devils fiercely, your battalion commander Zhen Lingshan and we will also discuss it, they will attack the path in a while, They only shoot at the sky, and we only shoot at the sky, don't worry about them, just deal with the devils with peace of mind. ”

Qin Erzhu followed his vision, in the faint light of the night, the section of the Tiantai Slope near the top of the mountain was slightly lower than this side, and there was a wide ravine and deep stream in the middle, the distance was about two hundred meters, and he could vaguely see the opposite side clearly, with the mountain trees on the side of the path, it was condescending, and it was the best position to ambush the opposite section.

"Second brother," Lu Caiting said to Qin Erhammer again; "Later, when your battalion commander's men and horses arrive, you can shout to them and tell them that you have abandoned the darkness and joined the New Fourth Army, so that you will have a great influence on those imperial alliances, and they will take you as an example, and sooner or later they will turn against the water and defect to us."

Qin Erhammer smiled; "Brother Captain, don't worry, when those Imperial Association Army brothers arrive, I will definitely tell them that my Qin Erhammer's Seventh Company has rebelled against the water and defected to the New Fourth Army, so that they can also be ready to fight against the water at any time, we welcome them, those brothers of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company are usually familiar with me, I think many of them will definitely be influenced by me, it makes sense to do so."

The three platoon commanders under Qin Erhammer heard their conversation clearly on the side, and they all came over with shell guns, Qin Erhammer hurriedly introduced them to Lu Caiting, and the three platoon commanders straightened their chests and said in unison; "Captain Lu, we are ready, give the order, let's enter the ambush position."

Lu Caiting looked at them and said happily; "Okay, comrades, you choose a good terrain location here now, set up an ambush, and when the devils come, after the mines on the Tiantai slope section explode, you will shoot at the devils and beat them fiercely, and after the battle is over at dawn, I will give you a celebration wine and hold a celebration banquet for everyone."

As he was talking, he heard two crisp gunshots on the section of the Tiantai Slope over there, and after a while, there were faintly many Japanese soldiers, who were twisting their bodies on the road with difficulty, and seemed to be moving forward with great difficulty, probably caught in the entanglement of branches and vines, and gradually there were more and more people, crowded, and chaotic.

Lu Caiting said to Qin Erzhu and the three platoon commanders under him; "Okay, you guys quickly enter the ambush position, I will immediately go over and give the order to pull the mines, and you will also pay attention to the devil's artillery fire later, and don't hurt the brothers." Before the words fell, the person had disappeared into the night in an instant.

The three platoon commanders were taken aback and exclaimed in surprise; "What a fast body, amazing!" The three of them also know a little bit of martial arts, and it can be seen that this young captain has martial arts skills, and he usually hears that the second young master of Qinglongtang is so good at martial arts, but he didn't expect that as soon as they met today, he could imagine his other stunts with this kung fu.

Qin Erhammer was complacent, and proudly showed off to the three platoon commanders; "My brother is not only a master of Qinglong Hall, but also a proud disciple of Yanyu Guanyunhe Zhenren, his kung fu is unfathomable, and he will have the opportunity to ask him for a few tricks in the future, which is enough for the brothers." After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered; "Quickly bring the brothers into the ambush position."

Qin Erzhu and his men quickly found a good location and laid an ambush, all their guns aimed at the crowded and chaotic Japanese soldiers on the opposite side of the Tiantai slope.

At this moment, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, connected with each other undulating continuously, I saw the opposite side of the ladder slope branches and vines entwined road section, suddenly the fire rushed to the sky, this is the explosion of the mine group, the huge explosion sound, the fire shines, the smoke rolls out, the explosion of those Japanese soldiers head and hand separation, stumps flying in the air, ghosts crying wolves, rumbling explosions mixed with screams, screams, the scene is a little miserable.

The huge explosion also blew up the rocks and shattered the air, and the air waves also spread around, Qin Erhammer and his men hurriedly put their heads close to the ground to hide, and there were still waves of smoke and scattered dirt and slag swept over at such a distance, splashing everyone with dust.

The sound of explosions stopped, and dense gunfire sounded in the rocks and dense woods on the top of the Tiantai Slope, listening to the intensity of the sound and the flickering tongues of fire in the night, it should be the sound of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, Qin Erhammer raised his head and glanced at each other with the three platoon commanders, they were a little disbelieving, they didn't understand, after all, the New Fourth Army of General Ao was a guerrilla, where did they get so many light and heavy machine guns, looking at this configuration, it was several times stronger than their own company.

Qin Erzhu also waved his hand and commanded; "Brothers, fight!" With the sound of his order, all his soldiers raised their heads and fired at the Japanese soldiers who were in a mess on the opposite side of the Tiantai slope, and the dense gunfire closely matched the gunfire of the independent column there, and they all fired wildly at the Japanese army.

The Japanese soldiers had just been blown up and were dizzy, and now they were beaten by the sound of ambush gunfire, but the number of Japanese soldiers was also large, there were two squadrons of soldiers on this section of the crowded hillside road, more than 800 people, and the overall combat quality of the Japanese army was very good, they panicked for a while, they quickly calmed down and began to counterattack the other side, the Japanese soldiers were also very well armed, there were many heavy light and heavy machine guns, and immediately formed a fire network to counterattack the ambush position on the top of the Tiantai slope and the opposite side.

Watanabe and Harada, who were below the ladder slope, had already roughly understood with their binoculars that the troops charging in front had encountered a mine explosion and an ambush by the Turkish Fourth Army, Watanabe put down his binoculars and ordered the heralds beside him; "Send a signal quickly and notify the artillery to fire."

The herald immediately turned around, waved a pennant with both hands, and waved the flag at the artillery positions in the woods below the hill, ordering them to open fire on the hill.

When the leader of the artillery squad in the woods saw the flag, he also used his telescope to see the fire on the top of the mountain, and immediately reported the azimuth angle and distance to the artillery, and ordered the artillerymen to open fire.

The whistling shells immediately bombarded the mountains and fields on the top of the Tiantai Slope, and the artillery fire was continuous, the smoke of gunpowder was billowing and the dust was flying, and the trees were ignited by the bombardment of the shells, and the fire was blazing everywhere, and the smoke was filled.

The Japanese artillery fire stopped bombarding, the Japanese army on the top of the Tiantai slope began to attack again, when the artillery bombardment, the opponent's machine gun fire was silent, when the artillery fire stopped, when the Japanese launched an attack, the opponent's machine gun fire resounded, and will not stop changing positions, the Japanese army also used machine guns to form a dense fire network to counterattack, trying to suppress the opponent's firepower, although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but their ordinary intensive training and fearless life and death are world-famous, the distance between the two sides gradually shortened, forming a stalemate confrontation state, The offense is slow and delayed.

Qin Erzhu led the soldiers of his company, and as soon as the artillery fire stopped, they raised their heads and continued to fire at the Japanese troops on the slope of the Tiantian Ladder on the opposite side.

There was a dense sound of gunfire under the path, mixed with shouts, it should be the soldiers of the eighth and ninth companies led by the battalion commander Zhen Lingshan who rushed to the top of the path, and Qin Erhammer said to the three platoon commanders; "You guys are staring here, I'll go to the front and take a look, and I'll shout to the brothers of the Eighth and Ninth Companies."

Qin Erhammer ran under the path and saw his brother Qin Sanhammer leading the people, ambushing in the rocky woods around the path, fighting happily, but their guns were raised and released into the sky.

It was the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army led by Zhen Lingshan who came up from the bottom of the path, and he really kept his promise that day, ordering the soldiers to only fire guns into the sky, and kept shouting and bluffing.
