Chapter 102: Witty Breakthrough Xiao Xiong Fights Minshan (3)
The eagle's beak rock is less than 2 miles away from Jinpanding, and it is the last and most dangerous line of defense at Jinpanding. The more than 1,000 steps built against the cliff at some point are steep and difficult, thrilling and full of murderous opportunities everywhere.
Especially about 10 meters from the top of the mountain, there is a huge rock in the shape of an eagle's beak that hangs above the steps, which is only about 1 meter high, and people have to bend down to pass under it. Therefore, there is a saying that "one husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open".
Zhang Shan led the Einsatzgruppen to wait at the Eagle's Beak Rock, and they quietly waited for the arrival of the devils.
It has successively broken through the two blocking lines set up by the Einsatzgruppen and broken the two famous Heavenly Danger Wolf Howling Valley and the "First Line of Sky" devils in Minshan, which can be described as getting carried away. Although they suffered heavy losses in their troops, they immediately accelerated their pace of progress when they saw that the top of the gold plate was not far in front of them and was already in sight.
The devils came to the bottom of the eagle's beak rock, and when they looked up, they saw a mountain road built with steps. Soaring to the top of the mountain, the roof of the Kinpan Temple on the top of the mountain illuminated by the setting sun glows with golden brilliance, making this thousand-year-old temple appear a mysterious color of resplendent gold.
Seeing that you are about to reach the top of the mountain, you can climb the more than 1,000 steps to join the other attacking special forces at Jinpanji Temple.
The Devil Commander ordered to shoot continuously at the Eaglebeak Stone as a target towards the hill.
The cannonballs immediately fell on the hard olecraspes like hailstones, making a loud rumbling sound, and the huge rocks kept shaking under the bombardment of the cannonballs, and the exploded earth and rocks around the stones, and the broken grass and trees continued to fall on the stone steps.
Zhang Shan and the rangers hid under the huge rock of the eagle's beak rock, they covered their ears tightly with their hands, and the whole person was in the sound of the explosion, as if they were in the rough sea, and their bodies were shaking and shaking with the earth.
Finally, the artillery fire stopped, and everyone shook off the dust on their bodies, and quickly climbed out and entered the position. They saw the devils rushing up the stairs with their waists bent up.
When the devil reached the mountainside, Zhang Shan ordered everyone to open fire. In an instant, a stormy bullet was fired at the enemy, and the devils who were rushing up the steps, some of them were beaten to a miserable scream, and they fell directly down the cliff, and some were killed on the top of the steps, and the devils who were not dead quickly lay on the stone steps or leaned on the cliff, shivering.
However, at this time, the snipers who were ambushed on the opposite hill aimed at the hiding enemy as if they were practicing marksmanship, and began their sniping operation. They are shot one by one, and the guns are deadly. The twenty or thirty devils who had climbed halfway up the mountain for the first time were all annihilated by the Einsatzgruppen.
In charge of defense in Shanbei are more than 30 players led by Gao Qixing himself. Since the only way up the mountain from the north of the mountain is through the only mountain stream, the pressure on defense is slightly lighter than that of the south of the mountain.
The devils also attacked close to noon. Due to the steep mountain in the north of the mountain, the mountain road is rugged, there are many curves, and the road up the mountain is almost entirely paved with stone steps. Therefore, the attacks of the devils are relatively easy to deal with.
However, because the devils attacked with the assistance of the puppet army, they were familiar with the terrain in the mountain, although the mountain was steep, but the distance up the mountain was much shorter, only half of the road south of the mountain, but more than 10 miles. Therefore, when the devils launched an attack, they were not in a hurry, but they were in a hurry, step by step, steadily and steadily, and slowly advanced towards the mountain.
Whenever they went to a precipitous place, they had to prepare for heavy artillery fire before they charged. Due to the large number of devils and the tactics they adopted were more effective, the battle between them was also more difficult in the high rise of Shanbei.
Fortunately, the Devil's slow advance tactics made their movement relatively slow, and it was not until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that Gao Qixing finally stopped the Devil at the last pass, under a cliff called "Key Gorge".
Seeing that it was getting late, the devils set up camp in the valley. After dark, around Minshan, at every road down the mountain, you can see the bonfires and pine torches lit by the devils, and the devils' patrols are constantly patrolling. It seems that Yamamoto has made up his mind and is ready to completely eliminate Xiao Xiong and the Einsatzgruppen.
Xiao Xiong was not idle for a moment today, he commanded Li Minghua and their hunter team to transfer the seriously wounded into the secret cave, and bandaged the wounds of the team members who had just been wounded in the battle, and the seriously wounded among them were also transferred to the cave.
Xiao Xiong first asked Li Minghua to send a few members of the hunter team and several members of the guerrilla team down the mountain to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, find out the road down the mountain, and prepare to break through and go down the mountain.
Xiao Xiong called Xiong Qiang, Li Minghua, Liu Junshan and others over, and several people carefully learned about the details of Minshan from Cheng Shizhang. After listening to the introduction, Xiao Xiong said decisively:
"Now the south and north of Minshan are the focus of the devils' attack, and they have strengthened the blockade of other roads down the mountain. In the area around Minshan, the devils have deployed a large number of troops, and it is not easy for us to break through directly from here. Now, the time to break through can only be chosen at night, and the direction of the breakthrough can only be chosen in the north of the mountain. ”
"Shanbei? Isn't that the direction of the devil's attack? ”
Everyone was very surprised, and for some reason, Xiao Xiong chose the direction of the breakthrough in the place where the devil was heavily attacked. Xiao Xiong looked at everyone, smiled and continued:
"I'm not taking everyone to suicide. You see, the devils have surrounded Minshan as tightly as an iron bucket, leaving us not a single gap. Especially in the south and north directions of the mountain, there are many people. With the hundreds of people we have left, if we fight hard with the devil, we will definitely not be able to. If you go down from another place, you are likely to be discovered by the devils and surrounded. We still have a chance to fight the devils on the mountain, and after we go down the mountain, we will probably be encircled, and then our chances of escaping will be very small. ”
Xiao Xiong said to Xiong Qiang again:
"Chief of Staff, you say, judging from the current situation, where is the devil's defense weakest under the mountain?"
Xiong Qiang pondered for a while, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Commander, I see what you mean. Now there are only two places where the devil's defense should be relatively weak, that is, the south of the mountain and the foot of the north of the mountain, that is, the place where the devils have passed. ”
"Which direction is more conducive to our transfer, Shannan or Shanbei?"
Xiong Qiang drew on the ground with a branch for a while, and said:
"Shanbei! It can only be Shanbei! Xiong Qiang said resolutely, he looked at his commander with admiration, nodded and said:
"The devils in the south of the mountain have attacked the area of the eagle's beak rock, although their rear is relatively empty, but the mountain is a plain area, and it is close to the Shahe River in Jiujiang County, and there are improvised airports and stations for the devils nearby, and the devils usually defend this area more tightly. Therefore, it is still unrealistic to choose to break through in this direction.
In the north of the mountain, there are some peaks and cliffs, and it will not be so easy for the devils to defend, leaving us more gaps, and there will be more opportunities to break through. It is especially important that after leaving the Minshan area, the terrain will be more favorable to us. Because, to the north, there are either hills and low mountains, or lakes and harbors, which is conducive to the covert operation of a small army like ours. The most important thing is that we can go straight to the river, meet the water guerrilla brigade waiting there to respond, and then return to the base camp of Jiangxinzhou. Commander, am I right? Xiong Qiang looked at Xiao Xiong and said.
Xiao Xiong couldn't help but nod his head again and again when he heard Xiong Qiang's question, and when he heard Xiong Qiang's question, Xiao Xiong couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praised:
"What a good chief of staff for us. The analysis is meticulous, meticulous and very organized. That's what the chief of staff said, we will break through from Shanbei tonight! ”
At night, in accordance with Xiao Xiong's orders, the members of the hunter team began to attack and harass the devils. Li Minghua divided the team into several combat groups and sniped the enemy stationed in the mountains and outside the mountains. Some ghost sentries and exposed devils around campfires, torches, etc., became the prey of the hunter team one by one.
Suddenly, inside and outside the mountains, the gunshots continued, and under the guns of the hunter team, devils were constantly being shot. The devils had no choice but to extinguish the bonfires, torches, etc. The devils, who were still rampant during the day, were now like frightened birds, all huddled into a heap, fearfully guarding against the deadly bullets that came from in the night.
The assault continued into the night, when the gunfire gradually subsided, and by about two o'clock in the morning, everything had stopped. Only then did the devils feel a little safe, and dragged their tired bodies into the tent, ready to rest for a while.
At this time, all the members of the team who participated in the raid had returned to the top of the mountain to concentrate, and Zhang Shan and Gao Qixing, who were in charge of blocking tasks in the south and north of the mountain, also quietly withdrew unconsciously.
Due to the brutal blocking of the enemy during the day, the casualties of the troops were also very large, and by this time the total number of people was less than 100.
Xiao Xiong asked the hunters to open the way in front, and everyone gathered on the edge of a cliff in the north of the mountain, climbing the rope ladder woven with rattan prepared during the day and slowly descending the cliff.
Everyone carefully tied their guns to their bodies, for fear of making a little noise, and went down the rope ladder one by one very carefully. In a few moments, the team all descended to the bottom of the cliff. The last to go down the mountain was Li Minghua, who untied the rope ladder and climbed the weeds and shrubs on the cliff.
The troops quietly descended along the valley holding on to the trees. After walking about four or five miles, Liu Junshan, who was scouting in front, reported that there were no devils in front of him. It was only then that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the team avoided the group of devils who were under the Lock Key Gorge and walked from behind the devils on the mountain to the mountain road.
At this time, everyone in the team put on the uniforms of devils and puppet soldiers outside, and walked quickly down the mountain with a swagger.
