Chapter 8 Evacuation of the Main Peak

It's no more than three. Gao Quan wanted to break this statement, and after the devil commander stubbornly organized the team and launched another charge, he commanded his two mortars to snipe for a third time. After finishing the incident, Gao Quan immediately ordered these artillerymen, carry the artillery, and move to the position of the third battalion.

The captain of the devil brigade was completely dizzy. The more than 300 devils who rushed to the position of the second battalion had not yet rushed to the position of the main peak, and they were killed by two mortars, and the remaining 200 devils wanted to attack the main peak.

Gao Quan was happy when he saw that the devil had put on a posture of defending on the spot. What he needs now is time, and the longer the time, the more beneficial it will be for him, and the deeper the tunnels on the positions of the three battalions will be dug. Now what the 256th Regiment wants is no longer how to defeat the devils, what they mainly have to think about now is how not to let the devils drive them down, since the devils are willing to drag, then let them drag it, the longer the delay, the better. However, the devil can drag, but Gao Quan doesn't plan to let the devil wait on his position so easily and happily.

Gao Quan once read such a famous saying: The happiness of the enemy is his own disaster. He thinks so. Since the two sides have become enemies, making the other party miserable and unhappy is the most important thing to do. Mortars are not easy to transfer, they must be transferred in advance, and without mortars, aren't there still grenades? Any unit in my ** team is equipped with a large number of grenades. Our weapons are inferior to those of men, and we can only make up for it in this easy-to-carry individual weapon. Not only the miscellaneous troops like the 29th Army, but even the elite units of the Central Army such as the 9th Army, equipped with grenades, the number of grenades is quite large. After three days of defensive battles, the largest number of weapons on the Gaoquan position now is grenades.

The main peak, as the name suggests, is the highest peak on a mountain peak. The forward position occupied by the devils of the second battalion was dozens of meters lower than the main peak, and it was a place on the mountainside that resembled a protruding platform. Gao Quan is now a few hundred meters away from them, but it is a straight line distance, use a gun to fight that side, this side is condescending, occupying a considerable advantage, the soldiers on the main peak have never given up shooting at the enemy, and the devil has been returning fire on the mountain, but due to the shelter of mountains, rocks, trees and bunkers, the shooting accuracy of both sides is not high. If you throw a grenade from here, as long as you have good arm strength, you can still try it, and Gao Quan himself thinks that he can throw the grenade at that forward position.

"Cao Bao."

"Yes!" A tall, sturdy warrior stepped forward. This person's name is Cao Bao, is a fierce man found by Gao Quan on the position of a battalion, Cao Bao is tall and strong, when he repairs fortifications, he is stronger than ordinary people, and he repairs fortifications the most beautifully, Gao Quan talked to him in the interval between battles, Cao Bao worked as a stonemason before the war, and he is the kind of stonemason who builds stone houses for others, not a laborer who opens stones on the mountain.

"Can you throw a grenade at the position of the second battalion?" Gao Quan said and handed Cao Bao a grenade.

Cao Bao's father doesn't know whether he is really cultured or fake, you said that you named your son, and if you can't think of a good name, you can call it Cao Da and Cao Er, what's not good, even if you call Cao Apu, it's good, what's the matter with the name Cao Bao? How can it sound like a straw bale? When he turned around, he had to persuade Cao Bao to change his name, which was also unpleasant, no wonder he had been a soldier for more than ten years, and he didn't even get mixed up with a squad deputy.

Cao Baoke didn't know that his regiment commander was thinking about changing his name, so he stretched out his head and glanced at the forward position, and nodded firmly, "Yes!" After saying that, he took a dozen steps back, then trotted forward, stopped suddenly, and with a round swing of his arm, the grenade flew into the air like a bird, and then fell in an arc, "Tom! "The grenade exploded on the mountain wall. Cao Bao made too much force, and threw it over!

"Captain, I didn't shoot." Cao Bao's head was almost lowered to his waist, and he blew a big word, and he had not completed the task assigned by the regiment commander, which made this veteran ashamed.

"It's okay, we still have more grenades, try again." Gao Quan looked at Cao Bao's honest appearance and secretly laughed, maybe in front of his own leader, he couldn't let go, right? Cao Bao is usually a big grinning person, and Gao Quan decided to give him another chance.

This time, Cao Bao looked at the devil's position more carefully, and then threw the grenade as he did just now.

"Tom!" This time the shot was accurate, and the grenade landed right on the devil's position, and a devil was blown up and flew out of the bunker on the spot, and there was a burst of cheers on the main peak position. The soldiers gave Cao Bao a thumbs up, and Cao Bao scratched his head and smiled.

"I'll try!" Seeing that Cao Bao threw well this time, Gao Quan also moved the heart of the competition. Reaching out and taking a grenade, he unscrewed the safety cover, wrapped the lead around his middle finger and tied it, took seven or eight steps back, and after a pause, he slid a few sideways, and when he reached the position just now, his right arm wheel was rounded and he threw the grenade out violently. The grenade rolled and flew at an angle of forty-five degrees to the highest point, and then drew a parabola, like a mortar shell, and landed on the position of the devil. There was another cheer from the position.

Gao Quan's goal was achieved, while waiting for reinforcements, the devil not only had to suffer losses in the confrontation with the main peak, but also had to endure a grenade flying from above from time to time, and His Excellency Shao Zuo even once moved the mind of withdrawing the troops, if it wasn't for the fear of being forced to disembowel, maybe he would have done that.

The devil's reinforcements finally came up, and Gao Quan also led a battalion of soldiers to withdraw. It would be very unwise for these two hundred tired soldiers to contend with a brigade and a half of devils, and it was better for him to fight his tunnel battle.

After paying heavy casualties and suffering serious mental torture, the devils finally occupied the main peak position, which proves that the 153 Heights were conquered by them! Shao Zuo and the other captain who had come up with reinforcements cheered with their soldiers. Although the 153 Heights is not the main position in Nanhuaihua, the devils on this position still think that their battle here is not easier than that on the main position, and they are very proud to win this battle.

Just as the devils were shouting and celebrating excitedly on the main peak, Gao Quan had already led the soldiers of the first battalion to withdraw to the position of the third battalion. Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi led the second battalion and the third battalion to repair the fortifications, although they didn't know what Gao Quan meant by digging the fortifications into the mountain, but this did not prevent them from taking it literally, that is, Gao Quan wanted to dig a cave in the mountain and use the cave as a bunker. It's easy to understand that staying in a cave is definitely better protected from bombing than staying in a trench. So, after Gao Quan came, he saw the so-called "fortifications", which were several caves dug in the middle of the mountainside, which were still relatively deep, and there were soldiers in the caves who were constantly transporting earth and stones, and obviously there were people in it who continued to dig deeper.
