Hearing that Regiment Commander Liu only brought one battalion and two platoons of the artillery company to Daipo Ridge to block the devils, Han Fangping didn't say much, just nodded and said that he would do what Commander Liu said, and then turned around and informed the troops.

Three battalions were drawn out at once to block the devils, so that the strength of the transport was weakened a lot, but this was also a helpless thing, fortunately, the three battalions took away a batch of ammunition, especially the captured light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers and grenade bullets, and let the soldiers of the three battalions carry as much as they want.

As a result, each squad got one light machine gun, one company got two heavy machine guns, and as for the grenadiers, each platoon also got two.

Each infantry soldier who participated in the battle was equipped according to the standard of the Japanese army, carrying 120 rounds of ammunition and two grenades. This made the soldiers of the three regiments and one battalion so happy that they almost couldn't close their mouths.

In the past, they had been dealt with a maximum of twenty-five rounds of ammunition per person at one time. It was the three regiments and three battalions, when they were in Fuya Mountain, they carried out combat missions at most once, and Regiment Commander Liu only distributed fifty rounds of ammunition to each of them.

Bringing so many bullets at once made these fighters feel like they had become rich overnight.

Liu Tianshu and Han Fangping asked the three battalions to quickly complete the replenishment, and then rushed to the mouth of Daipoling and Qinglong Gorge respectively.

The combat units took away about 100,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 1,000 grenades at once, plus crooked machine guns, 92 heavy machine guns, infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, and so on, which greatly reduced the pressure on the troops in charge of transportation.

The 2nd Regiment, 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, and 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, who had no combat mission, knew that the devils were coming violently, and vainly wanted to block the 2nd Regiment, 3rd Regiment and the villagers who came to help transport it in the south of Qinglong Gorge, so they immediately sped up their speed, and at the same time scrambled to press the materials on their bodies, and then rushed to Qinglong Gorge together with the villagers.

However, as soon as Liu Tianshu and Han Fangping left with their troops, the devil's plane came, and Liao Zhifeng heard the roar of the plane in the air, so he had to order the villagers and soldiers to hide in the woods.

When Liu Tianshu found that the devil's plane was coming from the top of the mountain, he immediately knew that the devil was looking for a transport unit, gritted his teeth, and ordered Hua Xiaohu to rush to Daipoling with his troops, while he personally commanded a squadron of the accompanying reconnaissance brigade to prepare for air shooting on the mountain.

The squadron had two Czech light machine guns, and he commanded the light machine gunners on the hill to prepare for anti-aircraft fire. His eyes were staring through binoculars at the enemy planes flying from the west.

Two planes flew in from the west, probably without finding any trace of the 2nd and 3rd regiments, and slowly lowered their altitude.

Seeing the plane flying straight towards the position of the machine gunner, Liu Tianshu knew that his judgment was correct, he quietly raised his hand, and seeing that the figure of the plane was getting bigger and bigger, he suddenly split his hand, and the two light machine guns immediately shouted into the air, and the two strings of bullets rose into the air and headed towards the plane.

Of course, using a light machine gun against an airplane is at most forcing the plane to pull up, but if you want to really shoot down a plane, unless you are too lucky to be better, it is simply impossible.

Sure enough, the devil pilot suddenly saw two dazzling chains of bullets rising in the mountains and forests in front of him, and immediately subconsciously pulled up the fuselage, and then flew over the machine gunner's head with a roar.

Then, the two enemy planes gracefully turned in the air, and then pounced like wolves on the hill where they had just fired.

At the same time, the powerful airborne machine gun fire fired two chains of bullets towards the mountain forest, and countless branches were splashed.

When they flew above the mountain, two aerial bombs fell quickly, and two thick pillars of smoke immediately rose in the woods on the mountain, and the whole mountain forest seemed to tremble, and in the blink of an eye it was covered by the smoke of the explosion.

When Liu Tianshu decided to use machine guns against the plane, he gave orders to the two machine gun crews, telling them to quickly finish a magazine and immediately slide down the hill from one side and hide behind the rocks below.

As for himself, after giving the order to shoot, he immediately ran down the hill from the other side with Shi Hu with a gun in his arms and hid behind a boulder.

Sure enough, the devil's plane then returned, fired heavily at the hill just now, and bombed the mountain forest beyond recognition.

The two planes of the devil really ravaged the mountains and forests, and after seeing that there were no more bullets fired below, they flew east proudly.

It's just that in this way, there is only one aerial bomb left in each of the planes.

Liu Tianshu saw the plane flying, and then he and Shi Hu came out of the hideout, and saw that the two machine gun crews that arrived later were not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately rushed to Dai Poling with the machine gun crew.

He had just asked the machine gunners to shoot into the air, firstly to delay time for the transport brigade, and secondly, to consume the devil's ammunition, in order to minimize the threat of the devil's plane.

When Liu Tianshu and Shi Hu arrived at Daipoling, the three battalions commanded by Hua Xiaohu were already fighting fiercely with the devils who came from the southwest.

Rushing from the southwest was the brigade that followed Yoshida, commanded by Wing Commander Kawasaki himself.

At dawn, Kawasaki received a telegram from the division commander, asking him to immediately lead his troops to Qinglong Gorge via Daipo Ridge, to join the Urada brigade coming from the southeast, and form an iron wall in the north to prevent the Chinese who dared to attack the Japanese army from escaping into the mountains.

As long as Kawasaki and Urada's brigade block the Qinglong Gorge, it will be a matter of time before this group of hateful Chinese is eliminated.

Because Sakai Ichiro's independent mixed brigade is coming by train to the Zhujiaao area.

Hua Xiaohu rushed to the Dai Po Ridge with the three battalions non-stop, and happened to see a squadron of devils running towards the ridge desperately. It was less than fifty meters away from the ridge.

Seeing that the devil didn't even prepare for artillery fire, so he blindly rushed up, Hua Xiaohu couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky. Fortunately, the regiment commander did not let himself be delayed on the road, otherwise by the time he arrived at Dai Po Ling with his troops, the devils had already occupied this place before him.

There was no time to build fortifications, and the company quickly spread out on the spot on the ridge, and the guns in their hands fired directly at the devils who were getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the devils who were about to rush up the ridge, they didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army had occupied the mountain first, and with the fierce gunfire rang out, more than a dozen devils were shot and fell.

The leader of the devil squadron, who commanded the advance of the Japanese army, saw that there were eight roads on the top of the mountain, and immediately howled and ordered the soldiers to rush to the ridge desperately.

At this time, the Eighth Route only opened fire, and it was obvious that the Eighth Route on the ridge had occupied the hill only a few minutes earlier than himself, and the Devil Squadron Leader knew that he had to rush forward in one go while the Eighth Route was not firmly established.

When those devils heard the squadron leader shouting the order to charge, their eyes immediately turned red, and they rushed towards the ridge while shooting, and as for the companions who kept falling around them, they didn't even look at it.

The three battalions and one company immediately fell into a bitter battle, and the two sides fired at each other, and more than 20 fighters fell in one company, while more than 40 devils fell on the back.

Seeing the devil rushing forward desperately, Chu Siyang shouted a grenade, and the soldiers immediately grabbed the grenade in front of them, pulled out the safety and threw it at the devil who was getting closer and closer.

The grenade fell from the hill with a strong smell of sulfur, followed by one explosion after another. Those devils were blown up so that they cried wolf, and many of them were directly blown to pieces, and the internal organs, arms, thighs, eyes and other incomparably bloody things kept falling from the air.

In the shrapnel flying, the devils suffered heavy casualties, and the devils of a squadron lost hundreds of people in the blink of an eye, and the remaining devils finally couldn't bear their strength and began to retreat.

When Kawasaki learned that the Eighth Route had appeared on the Dai Po Ridge, he immediately knew that it was the Eighth Route Army that attacked the column. At this time, he had no time to think about where these eight roads came from, so he ordered the captain to send troops to reinforce the first squadron, and at the same time ordered the accompanying artillery to launch a fierce bombardment towards Dai Po Ling.

When the first company was engaged in fire with the devils, Hua Xiaohu ordered the second and third companies to quickly repair the fortifications behind the first company, and at the same time build anti-artillery holes behind the ridge.

Although according to the instructions of the regiment commander, they blocked the attack for a maximum of two hours, but as an old Eighth Road who had been fighting for many years, Hua Xiaohu knew that as long as he exchanged fire with the devil, it would be a bloody battle, so he had to make all preparations.

A company exchanged fire with the devils, which bought them a precious half an hour, and the soldiers dug hard according to local conditions, dug out individual bunkers on the ridge, and at the same time rushed to repair anti-artillery bunkers under the rocks behind.

After seeing that the devil was beaten back, Chu Siyang immediately asked the soldiers to stop shooting, quickly carried the wounded, and retreated to the back.

On the hill ahead, only four of the bunkers that had been repaired were left with observation posts.

Sure enough, as soon as the first company withdrew to the rear, there was the sound of cannonballs whistling in the sky, and countless shells flew towards the ridge, blasting the blocking position of the company just now into earth and rocks, and several big trees were directly blown off and fell to the ground with a bang.

Fortunately, there was a steep hill behind the ridge, and the soldiers of the second and third companies of the third battalion heard that the devils had begun to shoot artillery, and immediately hid under the steep ridge, and some even hid in the anti-artillery holes under the steep ridge.

At the same time, some brave warriors, hiding in the cave and still not resting, but wielding tools to perfect the fortifications.

The devil's shelling lasted for fifteen minutes, and then slowly stopped, Hua Xiaohu heard that the explosion of the shells began to sparse, and immediately ordered the second company to quickly rush to the front position.

The two companies and three platoons rushed to the top of the hill under the leadership of the company commander Sheng Dongsheng. Sheng Dongsheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw countless craters on the mountain, and ordered the soldiers to immediately use the craters to prepare for battle.

These fighters jumped into the crater, and when they saw that the devil was still 200 meters away, some fighters immediately waved their shovels and began to repair the individual bunkers.

Anyway, the devil hasn't rushed to the nearest place yet, so why not use this short few minutes to perfect the crater. If you have time, you can connect these individual bunkers made of craters and a simple defensive position can be formed.

It's a pity that the devil didn't give the soldiers of the second company time, and when they heard the company commander's order to prepare for battle, the soldiers immediately threw away their tools, held the gun full of bullets in their hands, and then slowly stretched it out and aimed at the devil who had rushed to a hundred meters away.
