"Major Gao, welcome to my 256th Regiment." Head Xu Yun looked at Gao Quan with a smile, just like a big cat staring at a braised fish.

"Gao Quan is very honored to serve under Captain Xu. In the future, please also allow the head of the group to cultivate! Gao Quan stood up and saluted, his attitude was very sincere, and the thirteen subordinates behind him also raised their hands and saluted with him. Due to Gao Quan's years of teaching, the salute of his men was slightly different from the salute in the army at that time, but it was more neat and tidy.

"Hehe, okay. Good. Commander Xu said with a smile on his face, "Brother Gao will go to my regiment to serve as the deputy chief of staff, do you think it?" ”

"It's all up to the group." In some respects, this can be regarded as a promotion, after all, from a battalion-level officer, he has now become a leader in the regiment. Although you don't have much real power, you are a newcomer, and people don't know about you, so don't you want to observe and observe first?

"The rest of the brothers, come to serve in our regiment, and all the officers will be promoted to the next level!"

Xu Yun was really generous enough, and ten people were immediately promoted. Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi have all become deputy battalion commanders, ordinary soldiers, there are no ordinary soldiers in their group, the youngest is also a squad leader, and now they have all been promoted to deputy platoon commanders, in the blink of an eye, these people have all become ** officers, and it seems that there is nothing bad about following the Ninth Army.

The jeep led the way, Gao Quan and Wang Dazhu Qian Sixi all squeezed into the jeep, and the orderly led the others to sit on the truck behind.

The defensive position of the 256th Regiment was a hill, and its military name was 135 Heights, but the name was easy to remember. In the temporary regiment headquarters set up in military tents, Regiment Commander Xu introduced Gao Quan to all his colleagues in the regiment headquarters. In addition to the regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, and chief of staff, two battalion commanders in the regiment were also at the regiment headquarters and met with the newly arrived deputy staff.

Since he had already gone to the position and really planned to fight the devil, Gao Quan immediately entered the state and asked the regiment commander to go to the various positions in the regiment to have a look, so as to familiarize himself with his work position as soon as possible. Head Xu was very satisfied with Gao Quan's serious and responsible work attitude, and felt that he had received the right person this time. The regiment commander personally assigned a staff officer from the regiment headquarters to accompany Gao Quan to inspect the position, and at the same time met with the officers of each battalion and company on the position.

As soon as he came out of the regimental command post, he had not yet walked a hundred meters before the devil's shells fell, and the devils under the mountain began to attack!

The staff officer Yang who accompanied Gao Quan to inspect turned around and ran towards the regiment headquarters, as if the tent at the regiment headquarters could really block the shells. Fortunately, when the site was selected for this regimental headquarters, the designer also wasted a little brain cell, Gao Quan could see at a glance that the location of the regimental tent was basically to avoid frontal attacks, and it was hidden under a cliff on the side of the highland, and the devil's shells basically couldn't hit here. The escorts have all gone back, Gao Quan can't go to the position alone, right? I had no choice but to follow the staff officer and run back.

The devil did launch an attack on the Chinese position in Xinkou, but the timing was not very good, and it happened to be just in time when the new senior deputy was about to inspect the position.

After an artillery attack, hundreds of devils, with the assistance of three tanks, launched a fierce attack on the 135 heights. Our fighters on the position immediately returned fire, and the battle began immediately.

Even Gao Quan, the deputy chief of staff, all the dozen or so people under his command were hiding in the regiment headquarters and couldn't get out. Originally, Xu Yun meant that when Gao Quan inspected the position, let these people follow Gao Quan to their respective positions, and with Gao Quan's deputy staff as the backing, these new officers would be a little easier to mix in their respective units. This is all Xu Yun's favor for Gao Quan on the bright side, since he personally brought Gao Quan here, and it can even be said that he threatened him, why do you have to let the family contribute to him? Commander Xu mainly took a fancy to the gold-lettered signboard of the 29th Army, and he was able to break the majesty of the devil on the Great Wall, how much ability did he have? Who doesn't want a man who can fight? can take these strong soldiers as his own henchmen through some small things, and Commander Xu will not hesitate to work hard!

The battle on the position quickly reached a fever pitch, and the attacking devils were like in Luo Wenyu, tirelessly attacking wave after wave. The Ninth Army is worthy of being the elite of the Central Army, and it is not merciful when shooting at devils, although its marksmanship is not as good as that of the little devils, it is also much stronger than most people in the Twenty-ninth Army. What's even more valuable is that these soldiers are very brave when they fight, and they can basically make tactical moves, although the casualties are still a little larger, but there are a lot of kills and injuries to the devils.

The 135 Heights is not the main attack position of the devils, here the devils only put two squadrons and three tanks, and on the main attack position, the offensive lineup of the devils is at the brigade level.

The Ninth Army is the elite of the Central Army, and there are many automatic firearms such as submachine guns in the army, and there is also a mortar company in the regiment, and more than a dozen mortars are fired together, causing a large number of casualties to the devils in the attack. In the final analysis, the number of devils who have thrown themselves into the attack is still too small, and according to Gao Quan's idea, the devils no longer have much momentum, and when the devils are defeated, it is completely possible to launch a counterattack, take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and inflict heavy losses on this group of devils in one go, and defeat or annihilate one of them.

Regiment commander Xu Yun vetoed Gao Quan's proposal, on the grounds that the task of the 256th Regiment was to hold the position, and as long as the position was not lost, the task would be successfully completed, and there was no need to engage in a counterattack that was not very certain. In the final analysis, Xu Yun's thinking was too conservative, he was not only afraid that when he attacked, the troops would lose too much, but he was also afraid that instead of defeating this enemy, he would be entangled by the enemy, so that the attacking troops could not return to defense in time. This kind of character of being afraid of wolves and tigers determines that he cannot dare to take risks like Gao Quan. As for this conservative method of warfare itself, it is not without merit, at least he can ensure that the troops will suffer fewer losses in battle, that their positions will be more firmly defended, that they will be able to hold out for a long time even when the battle situation is unfavorable, and that they can well complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.

However, the devil did not intend to give the 256th Regiment much time to spare, after the attack of the two squadrons was frustrated, the devil immediately increased the intensity of the attack, invested more offensive troops, in addition to the original two squadrons, transferred another brigade of devils, and added five more tanks. At this moment, the defense on the 135 Heights was a little tight, and the emergency call for help began to ring non-stop, and Regiment Commander Xu grabbed the phone from time to time, and shouted two words at the front-line officer on the other end of the phone.

Gao Quan went to the observation port and looked out, the devil's infantry held the 38 big covers, bowed their waists, lined up in a straggler formation that echoed each other, and quickly advanced to the high ground, until a certain height, before climbing down and shooting at the defenders on the position. Because the devils have superior artillery fire as cover, when the devils start to run forward, our soldiers are dodging the devils' shells, and when the devils' shelling stops, the charging devils have already reached a fairly close distance. In the confrontation between the two sides, the advantage of the defending side was greatly weakened, and the weapons were not as good as the Japanese army, between the attacking and defending sides, it was the attacking side that had the advantage, and our defenders, who occupied the advantage of fortifications and the condescending terrain, were actually at a disadvantage in the shooting between the two sides.
