The ninety-fourth episode of the soul of the Five Cities Uprising sacrifices to Yuxia
Yuxia Pass, also known as the tuyere gate, is named after the wind that blows through the hall in four seasons, and is 50 kilometers southeast of Pingshun County. The Ming Dynasty set up a pass here after destroying the Chen Qing rebel army during the Jiajing period. Here the mountains are stacked, the peaks are standing, the cliffs are steep, the deep ditches are thousands of feet, there is a husband when the pass, ten thousand people are out of reach. Along the Taihang side of the mountain stream up the mountain to a narrow ancient plank road, at the other end you can see that there are two high hills standing there, there is a very narrow stone road in the middle, that road is as if it was split in a mountain peak by a divine axe. On one side is the abyss, on the other side is the cliff of thousands of meters high, the stone road is the only passage that can pass through here, and it is also the only passage that can enter the depths of Taihang Mountain in Shanxi, that is, Yuxia Pass. The east of Yuxia Pass is Henan, and the west is Changzhi that has entered Shanxi, so Yuxia Pass is a pass that must pass into Shanxi, and it is also an extremely steep gateway.
Tang Chao's 5 companies belong to the regular company of the special service battalion, and each platoon is only equipped with one sniper, but the regular company of the special service battalion began to be equipped with MG4 heavy machine guns and MG4 portable heavy machine guns, and each squad also has a Czech ZB6 light machine gun, which is absolutely sufficient and powerful for a company's firepower, especially the MG4 portable heavy machine gun is a kind of cruising light that Germany has just researched and has not yet looked at the equipped troops; One of the weapons in the heavy machine gun is portable, but the firepower can be compared to the firepower of the MG4 heavy machine gun. Tang Chaojiang1; Platoon; 4 rows were arranged on the hills on both sides of the Yuxia Pass, leaving 5 rows for later use, in fact, for the terrain of the Yuxia Pass, there is no flower in the troop arrangement, a pass guards the narrow ancient road of the cliffs, the only thing that can be used as a position is the hills on both sides of the Yuxia Pass.
The hills on both sides resembled two bare boulders, with no place for the soldiers of the 5th Company to dig trenches, except for a few withering grasses. Fortunately, there are many stones on the mountain, and as soon as Tang Chao received the order, he immediately asked people to collect stones in the mountain and build several semi-circular simple fortifications on the hills, but there is one such fortification, which is difficult to compare with trenches, that is, anti-shelling and anti-bombing.
Tang Chao leaned on a boulder and looked at the rising sun that was about to come out in the east, fiddling with a piece of withered weeds in his hand, at this time, Lian Deputy Jia San walked over and sat down beside him and said, "Hey! Is there smoke? ”
Tang Chao didn't look at Jia San, his eyes were still staring at the white belly of the fish that was about to appear in the sky: "I don't smoke." ”
Jia San looked at Tang Chao's line of sight and couldn't help but say with amusement: "You reading babies like to play around, what's so beautiful about this rising sun?" ”
"I used to see the sunrise in Huangshan in my hometown, which is much more beautiful than today's sunrise." Tang Chao said.
Jia San smiled and said, "My hometown is in the mountains of the northeast, and you can see the sun rising from the east when you go out early in the morning, what's so strange?" ”
At this moment, I heard a soldier shout: "Company commander! There is a case! ”
Tang Chao immediately climbed with a clever crawl, looked at it with a telescope, and in the faint light of the sun, he could see a plaster flag dangling around, and hurriedly shouted: "It's a devil!" Get ready for battle! As soon as the words fell, a bolt was heard.
Jia San held a submachine gun and looked at the blurred shadow in front of him and said, "I don't know how many devils there are?" ”
Tang Chao said: "It's useless to come, we occupy a favorable position to make the devil die in the last wave." Then he addressed the group, "Brothers, pay attention. Don't expose your firepower too early, wait for the devil to get closer and aim and fight, and pay attention to saving bullets. ”
Jia Sanyi thought, "That's not right! If the battalion commander came back with his troops, wouldn't he just collide with this gang of devils? ”
Tang Chao glanced at Jia San and said, "You think the battalion commander is as stupid as you!" As soon as he heard the gunshots here, he must have guessed that there were devils here, would they still crash into them? ”
"Oh, too!" Jia San said: "Then I can rest assured." ”
"Company commander! The devil stopped. One of the fighters said with his throat down.
Tang Chao said: "Nonsense! With such obvious stone fortifications on our hill, isn't the devil blind and will bump into it like a headless fly? ”
"What then?" The warrior asked.
Tang Chao said: "Hold up our national flag for me." Let the devil know that there are Chinese gentlemen here. ”
"Yes!"
A Japanese soldier was looking through a telescope at what was the building on the hill of Yuxia Pass? Suddenly, a blue sky and white sun flag appeared in the telescope, which startled the Japanese Shaozo. scolded in his mouth: "Baga! The people of China. Charge! ”
As soon as the devil heard this, he immediately launched an attack towards Yuxia Pass, but the mountain road in front of Yuxia Pass was an extremely narrow and long mountain road, and it was uphill, which was not suitable for more troops to charge, and was reimbursed by Tang Chao's 5 companies for a salvo. The devil's troops immediately retreated more than 100 meters out of the firing range of Tang Chao and others, and this time the devils did not dare to underestimate the role of this mountain pass, and immediately set up mortars to start shelling and bombing on the hills on both sides of Yuxia Pass.
Tang Chao also knew the devil's consistent tactics very well, and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions, all prostrate on the back of the hill, and the devil's shelling did not cause much casualties to the 5th Company, but alarmed Bailong and others who were evacuated in the mountain.
As soon as Bailong heard the sound of artillery in the direction of Yuxia Pass, he immediately knew that it was the 5th Company and the devil who exchanged fire, and immediately ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing, and began to study the map for a long time.
Xiao Peijun walked over and said, "What's wrong with the dragon?" ”
"It seems that the devil has troops to Yuxia Pass before us." White Dragon Road.
Xiao Peijun said: "Then we will fight over." ”
Bai Long shook his head and said, "The Yuxia Pass Mountain Road is long and narrow, and it is not easy for the troops to charge, if they charge hard, the casualties will be very large. ”
Xiao Peijun looked around and said, "Yuxia Pass is the only way to enter Taihang!" We now have an obstacle in front of us and a chasing enemy in the back, so we can't stay here for a long time! ”
Qiao Ke ran all the way over and said, "The battalion commander has more than 500 devils in Yuxia Pass, and now they are facing the 5th Company. ”
Bai Long said: "Order a platoon to go to the back road of the devil to clear the Yuxia Pass within half an hour." ”
"Yes!" Qiao Ke immediately went down to arrange after finishing the road. The soldiers of the 1st Company and the 1st Platoon received the task of raiding the enemy's rear road at Yuxia Pass.
1. The platoon commander's name is Wu You, a native of Sichuan, he used to be a gangster in Shanghai, offended the Shanghai tycoon, and ran to Nanjing, in order to avoid pursuit, he accidentally became a soldier of the National Youth League, because he was armed with martial arts, so he was soon promoted to platoon commander.
"You must assist the 5th Company to open the passage of Yuxia Pass for the large army within half an hour." Qiao Ke said to Wu Youdao.
Wu Youdao: "Company commander! You can rest assured! I just used my head to knock and knock through the Yuxia. ”
"Good! This sounds uplifting. Qiao Ke patted Wu You and said with a smile.
The hill of Yuxia Pass was bombed by the devil's artillery, and the devil who flew sand and rocks also slowly advanced towards the pass under the cover of the artillery attack, but was soon beaten back by Tang Chao's troops, and the devil did not push further after repeating it several times, so he simply held a position in front of the gate and did not launch any attack.
Tang Chao and Jia San lowered their bodies and climbed up the hill to observe the movements of the devil, Jia San couldn't help but be surprised: "It's strange!" Just now, the devil didn't want to hit us, why didn't he move now? ”
Tang Chao thought for a while and said, "It seems that the devil wants to consume our large army on this ancient road. The rebels of the Imperial Association Army will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress them, since they can't capture Yuxia Pass, they simply set up a position in front of Yuxia Pass and block our large troops here. No way! We must get out of the border and face the battle, and clear the passage for the large army as soon as possible. ”
Jia Sansi paid for a long time and smiled: "You are a scholar, and your brain must be better than mine." Just listen to you. ”
It is easy to hold the Yuxia Pass, but it will be troublesome to go out of the pass to face the battle, because the front and back of the Yuxia Pass mentioned above are ancient mountain roads, one side of the cliff and one side of the abyss, and the narrow mountain road is not suitable for launching an effective charge, but Tang Chao is still determined to go out of the pass to face the battle, and take the initiative to attack. At this time, the sky has been bright, the positions of the two sides can be clearly seen, Tang Chao took the lead with more than a dozen fighters to launch the first round of attacks, two MG4 heavy machine guns were moved to the mountain road outside the pass for fire cover, Tang Chao took ten soldiers all the way to rush wildly, and saw that the devil blocked the mountain road several crooked handles together, and the bullets were whistling past the ears of the soldiers, and one by one the soldiers fell, but the charging troops still did not retreat half a step, Tang Chao still took the lead, carrying a submachine gun and rushing towards the devil's position.
Jia San saw that the first round of charge was halfway over, and immediately ordered the next round of charge to follow. It turned out that Tang Chao used everyone's cruel and heroic tactics, because the ancient road in front of Yuxia Pass was narrow, and it was impossible for the troops to spread out the charge at one time, so he used wave after wave of man-to-man tactics to advance inch by inch, so that the position captured in advance would not be recaptured by the enemy quickly, but this tactic was also that the brothers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and launched an attack on the enemy's position.
The dozen or so fighters who charged in the second round rushed towards the devil's position under the cover of several Czech ZB6s, and Tang Chao took the first wave of men and horses and left a few fighters. Tang Chao looked at the Japanese position close in front of him and shouted: "Throw grenades!" I saw several grenades flying into the devil's position, and the devil's position immediately exploded, and the defense line of Yuxia Pass was torn open by the lives of more than a dozen soldiers, and at the same time, the soldiers of the second round of charging had already jumped into the Japanese army's position.
Jia San immediately shouted as soon as he saw that the devil position defending their Yuxia Pass was in chaos: "Brothers, kill!" ”
At Yuxia Pass, the rest of the soldiers of the 5th Company rushed out of the pass with their guns and rushed towards the devil's position, and for a while, the belly and back defense line set up by the devil was immediately chaotic, and the troops on both sides immediately twisted together, and more than 700 soldiers scuffled into a ball of gunfire on a narrow mountain road; The sound of death became one.
Tang Chao copied the submachine gun and shot it in the crowd, and without bullets, he pulled out the spear on his waist and fought with the devil in close combat, and as soon as he stabbed down, he saw blood splashed on Tang Chao's face, and at this time, Tang Chao's face showed a terrible murderous intent. He stabbed several devils in a row, and was running towards the young officer, the young officer was stunned by his killing machine, and retreated a few steps, and was * to the edge of the cliff, holding the assistant officer knife in his hand, shouting, and slashing the horizontal knife, Tang Chao flashed sideways, and the spear in his hand was aimed at the heart of the young officer, and he pierced it straight in, and kicked the young officer to the bottom of the cliff.
After all, there are more than 500 devils, Tang Chao's 5 companies are invincible in Gao, his fists are invincible, and Jia San is holding a scimitar in his hand, slashing left and right, up and down, I don't know if it is the blood of the devil or his own blood, chest; on the back; There were several injuries on his legs, a pair of eyes were red, he looked at a soldier around him who was outnumbered, and was stabbed by many devils left and right, and was seriously injured, all the way back to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly the warrior made a force, jumped up, hugged the two devils and fell into the cliff together, Jia San shouted, picked up the scimitar, slashed and slashed in the crowd, singing the bandit song of his hometown all the way, has entered the realm of no one, and suddenly three bayonets stabbed him in the back, pierced his back hard, and then another bayonet stabbed straight into his chest, and blood spurted like a spring.
Jia San looked at the devil's bayonet and smiled slightly: "Devil...... Come with your grandfather on the road! With the grenade sounded, the four devils who stabbed him were about to draw their knives and withdraw, but they were not in a hurry, and there was a bang, Jia San disappeared into the mountains with that oily smile, and his bandit song was still echoing there.
At the same time, Wu You took a platoon of soldiers to kill violently, dozens of tongues of fire sprayed all the way, at this time, the devil's position was completely disrupted, the troops surged back, pushing countless soldiers to be pushed into the abyss, plus Tang Chao's 5 companies had already killed, the red eyes couldn't stop at all, the devil was pinched on the belly and back, and the commander of Shaozuo had been slaughtered by Tang Chao, and the devil's combat effectiveness suddenly declined, and the narrow mountain road was full of corpses of devils.
