Dozens of wheat straw eggs the size of stone mills rolled down the hillside, jumping to the bottom of the cliff, the shrubs and barren grasslands in the ravine were already mostly as tall as people, and they caught fire, and in the blink of an eye, the smoke was everywhere, and the grass ash was swept up by the heat.

The devils who were driven down the mountain still want to go back to the ravine along the cliff, this is good, there are fires everywhere, then it is a heat wave, and they can only flee south along the slope of the mountain.

The opposite mountain beam did not fall well, after the big one ran back, the two small cannons were transferred up from behind the rock wall, the distance of more than 1,000 meters from the opposite mountain beam, 60 small cannons were just enough, the ruler on this distance was no longer measured, the first shell hit between the two devil's mountain artillery, and blew up several devil gunners!

In one go, the big one sent the remaining dozen or so shells! The person who blew up the devil's artillery position turned over on his back! That is, the devil's ammunition box was placed in the fortifications, and there was no direct hit by mortar shells, otherwise the entire mountain beam position would have to be swept down the mountain!

The battle of Nanshan to repel the devil can not be said to be a complete victory, the soldiers of a platoon of the Eighth Route Army stationed at the top of the mountain, only one survived, and rolled down the hillside with the devil in his arms, and was seriously injured and fainted after breaking his legs.

Five of the two who flanked the enemy on the ridge also suffered five casualties and two were seriously wounded. There were also more than a dozen people injured in the shelling of the devils.

The casualties of the devils were generally about 100 people, due to the unknown situation under the cliff and in the ditch to the south. The exact number of enemies destroyed can only be reported by approximation.

This way, the devil was beaten and his fighting spirit was discharged. Retreat all the way to the south of the mountain pass. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Bangzi organized people to restore the fortifications on Nanshan as much as possible, and dealt with the cliffs, cut down a lot of sour jujube trees and put them on the edge of the ditch, and also used grenades and explosives to arrange some simple tripping mines.

The soldiers who died were carried to a bombed-out anti-artillery hole, buried in it en masse, erected a stone slab, and carved a line of inscriptions with bayonets.

Just carved the word zuihou. The trumpet sounded in the east through the clouds, and when Yang Bangzi heard it, it was the devil's infantry coming up!

This little devil thought that the battle of Nanshan could be won, so the infantry on the north and east roads did not move, but they did not expect to be beaten by Yang Bangzi's fire attack, and the main force on the east road could not sit still, so they had to attack it, or the friendly troops who were defeated and retreated in the south would have to blame them for not moving!

Handed over the repair position and defense of Nanshan to the big man, Yang Bangzi and the Zhuang Ding hurried back to the platform outside the walled gate.

A new round of shelling by the devils has just ended, and the newly blown crater on the mesa is beside it. The soil that had been torn apart by the shells was still steaming, giving off a fresh smell of earth.

The gentle slope of the mountain. The devils gathered three clusters, left, center and right, and each of them had a squadron of devils, and in front of each cluster was a puppet army of no less than one company.

The middle road is along the hillside road to hit the platform, and the two sides are climbing to occupy the mountain beam, and the devil will put out so many troops as soon as he comes up, it seems that he wants to take the Zuihou barrier in front of the gate in one fell swoop.

The puppet army takes the lead, and it has always been grinding as much as it can grind, and it can be as slow as it can! It's been almost half an hour since I started to climb the mountain in formation, and I haven't even climbed halfway up the mountain! Yang Stick is in a hurry to see it! He put his hand to his mouth and roared: "Hey! Puppet army brethren! Hurry up and climb in! The sun is going down on the side! We're still waiting to meet you! ”

As soon as they heard the Eighth Road call them, the puppet army simply lay down on the hillside en masse, no matter how the devil officers who supervised the battle behind them kicked and beat them, they couldn't get up!

The devils are also lying on the hillside, afraid of cold guns on the mountain, this time the puppet army is not leaving, the officer who supervises the battle ordered the standard-bearer to signal to the mountain, Yang Stick saw it, and immediately ordered, enter the second fortification, dodge the cannon!

Sure enough, this puppet army is waiting for the devil to open fire, and only with the cannon can it strengthen the courage of cowards! As soon as the cannon rang out, black smoke rose from the rumbling mountain beams on the platform, which looked like the bottom of the heart.

Pouted his ass and held the gun, and continued to climb the mountain, this is not happy! Going on an errand for the devil is just to eat a mouthful, who really wants to work hard! These eight roads are on the mountain, condescending, whoever rushes fast will be shot! It's not stupid, you look at me, I'm better than you, anyway, it's easy to rub the sun down!

While the devils blocked the terraces and mountain beams with artillery fire, the infantry slowly approached along the entire eastern slope of Xiangshang, and the Japanese soldiers were really impatient, and the middle road had already crossed the puppet army.

Yang Stick did not enter the defensive artillery hole, and he was very unimpressed with this kind of fire shooting to support the infantry, these shells are generally used by strong and courageous people, and have no practical effect.

As soon as he saw that the artillery fire was extended, he began to block and shoot to the rear, Yang Stick let the trumpeter blow the military horn, and more than 100 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army quickly entered the front-line position from their respective bunkers, the guns were loaded, the grenades were twisted, and they were waiting for the devils to arch forward!

No one expected that the devil and the puppet army were about to be a hundred meters away from the position, and their noses and eyes were almost clear, and suddenly, the first-line stragglers of the devil stopped, or squatted or lying on the hillside without moving, and the clusters behind also stopped on the spot, what is the situation? Still waiting for the gun? No way! It's so close, you want to injure your own people by firing the cannon!

But this situation is not right, not waiting for shelling! The devil is blowing the whistle! After the flag bearer under the mountain waved the flag several times, a whistle sounded all over the hillside, and the devils retreated!

The devils took cover alternately and retreated down the mountain, and the puppet army was stopped by the devil officer who supervised the battle and waited on the hillside for a long time, and all the devils withdrew from the mountain before the puppet army retreated. Just like a tiger chasing after him, the girl ran all over the hillside!

Yang Bangzi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the devil will not make any big moves today! He judged that it might be that the devils in the south had suffered a miserable defeat, and after the news reached here, the devils didn't want to increase casualties on such unfavorable terrain, so they withdrew their troops.

However, Yang Bangzi really didn't guess right! The battle in the south not only did not discourage the devils in the east, but they wanted to fight for their old capital to take the platform and show it to other friendly forces.

This all moved the troops to the position where the attack was launched, and Taifu Makibayashi, who was directing the operation at the foot of the mountain, received an urgent telegram from the division headquarters, and the telegram contained a short sentence: "Stop all military operations and stay on the spot!" ”

The order given by the division commander himself could not be ignored, so Wing Commander Makibayashi Taifu Osaku ordered the entire line to be withdrawn, and he returned to the wing headquarters on the Dongshan Liang and went to talk to the division commander.

It turned out that when he was in Xiwangzhuang, didn't His Royal Highness personally hand over a gold-plated cigarette box to the captain of the defending squadron, and at that time, he asked the squadron leader to find a way to transfer it to the head of the Fan Zhao Division.

This squadron leader is really a caring person, he did not report this matter to his superior captain, but hid this cigarette case, and waited until they changed guards and returned to Mancheng, he found an excuse to sneak quietly to Baoding.

It was still a little difficult for him, the squadron leader, to meet the division commander, so he entrusted his fellow who served in the division headquarters and found an opportunity to lead him into the division headquarters.

Lieutenant General Iizhao heard a report from Taifu Maki Hashi, saying that he found His Royal Highness the Prince in Guojiabaozi, a stronghold of the Eighth Route that had not yet been uprooted, but because of the presence of the Eighth Road, he did not check it carefully.

Because it has not been confirmed yet, the division commander still approved the next declared military operation, and the cigarette box sent by the squadron leader today is too unexpected! Because this cigarette case is what he gave to the prince!

This time it seems to be true! His Royal Highness the Prince is indeed in the hands of the Eighth Road, and in the order that the North China Front reported to him, it is said that the Eighth Route killed His Royal Highness, and now there is this squadron leader to witness that the Prince is still alive, and this battle must not be fought!

That's why the division commander hurriedly gave a direct order to Taifu Maki to suspend all military operations! (To be continued......)
