Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 34: Yuhuatai (3)
The Hidden Sentry King Shouzheng didn't know that his traces had been exposed, but he couldn't be blamed for that.
At nightfall, Wang Shouzheng and another veteran came to the north slope to guard on the order of the battalion commander Hu Hao, and found a seriously injured dog in the grass.
Wang Shouzheng left the dog by his side, and built a temporary kennel with artemisia grass next to it, and it was this kennel that exposed Wang Shouzheng's traces.
When Private Ono quietly touched it, Wang Shouzheng was gently stroking the dog's head.
Although the dog was badly wounded, and his sense of hearing and smell was much slower than usual, it was still much sharper than that of humans, and without warning, the dog's head, which had been hanging weakly on the grass, stood proudly, and its upper lip was lifted, revealing two rows of cold fangs, and a low, deep roar came out of its throat.
Wang Shouzheng didn't know that death had come, and he stretched out his hand to try to appease the dog, but his right hand had just touched the back of the dog's head, and a plastic crossbow arrow with a stainless steel arrow had been shot like lightning, piercing his throat at once, and the arrow went straight through the back of his head, Wang Shouzheng's brain stem was damaged, and he lost consciousness at that time and fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, the other two Japanese soldiers of the Elite Group also solved the outpost of the national army.
Private Ono breathed a sigh of relief, took out his flashlight and was about to signal in the direction behind him, when a black shadow suddenly burst out of the grass and rushed towards him like lightning.
Private Ono's throat was bitten, he couldn't make a sound, but his consciousness remained awake, and he instinctively took out his southern pistol and fired two shots at the "thing" hanging on his body, but the southern pistol was jammed when he shot the third shot, and when Ono wanted to pull the bolt and manually withdraw the shell, the consciousness of the whole person began to blur, and then he didn't know anything.

By the time the shots rang out, the hilltop fortifications of the 3rd Battalion of the 306th Regiment had been repaired less than halfway.
"Prepare for battle!" As soon as Hu Hao shouted, the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion threw away the sapper shovels one after another, grabbed the starting guns, jumped into the trenches that had not yet been repaired, and squatted down, and the few light and heavy machine guns in the battalion were quickly erected.
Hu Hao took out the mirror box, came to Qiu Weida and said, "Tuanzuo, it's the north slope." ”
"Damn, there was really a sneak attack." Qiu Weida also pulled out Browning's pistol.
Hu Hao said again: "These little days are cunning enough, and they actually came back to the north slope to attack us. ”
Qiu Weida saw that the fortifications that were only halfway repaired could not provide much cover, and at this time, the Japanese army must not be allowed to easily seize the ridge line, and immediately ordered Hu Hao: "You take a company and hold the ridge line on the north slope." ”
"Yes!" Hu Hao snapped upright, turned around and yelled, "L copy guy, follow me!" ”
The top of the three hills of Yuhuatai is a platform, Hu Hao and more than 100 people of the L company just occupied the ridge line connecting the Meigang platform and the north slope, and there was a black shadow of shadows and buildings under the slope, and before Hu Hao and the officers and soldiers of the L company opened fire, the Japanese soldiers who rushed up the hillside fired first, and all of them were automatic firepower.

When the gunshots rang out, Xu 19 and the 19th Brigade had just walked to the foot of the northern slope of Fengtai Gang.
Xu Shijiu suddenly raised his hand and clenched his right hand into a fist again, and the officers who followed behind him, such as Gu Wei, Lu Yong, Hu Jie, One-eyed Dragon, and Gao Shenxing, shouted one after another to order their respective troops to quickly disperse and be on alert on the spot.
Gao Shenxing stayed in Nanjing for two and a half years, had been to Yuhuatai several times, and immediately distinguished that the gunfire was coming from Meigang in the east, and immediately reported to Xu Shijiu: "The gunfire came from the northern slope of Meigang, about a thousand meters away, Xiao Rijian originally used automatic firepower, and the Thomson submachine gun was made in the United States!" ”
Xu Shijiu quickly picked up the box cannon, turned his head and shouted: "Lu Yong, Ah Long!" ”
Lu Yong and the one-eyed dragon hurriedly ran in front of Xu Shijiu, stood up and said, "Yes!" ”
"Ah Long, you take 3 companies to detour from the left side, Lu Yong, you take 2 companies to make a detour from the right side, don't rush to fire after entering the attack position, wait for the middle lane to start and then launch a centripetal attack to the middle at the same time, do you understand?"
"Understood." Lu Yong and the one-eyed dragon replied loudly at the same time, Xu Shijiu waved his hand again, and Lu Yong and the one-eyed dragon quickly disappeared into the night with their respective companies.
Xu Shijiu turned around and shouted, "Li Zihan! ”
Li Zihan hurriedly ran forward and replied loudly: "Yes!" ”
"Lead the engineer squad and medical team to stand by and pay attention to concealment." After thinking about it, Xu 19 turned his head and instructed the black blind man, "Heizi, you take the guard platoon to stay behind, and you must protect the engineer squad and the medical team." ”
"Yes!" Li Zihan and the black blind man stood up at the same time and responded loudly.
Xu Shijiu turned around again and shouted at Gu Wei, Hu Jie and Gao Shenxing: "L Company, Artillery Company and Guard Platoon, follow me to copy Xiao Ri's book from the front, go!"

The battle on the northern slope of Meigang quickly entered a white heat.
Although the L Company of the 3rd Battalion had a geographical advantage, it was still overwhelmed by the Japanese army.
The company commander climbed up to Hu Hao and shouted with a bitter face: "Camp, Xiao Ri's firepower is too fierce, it's not a matter to go down like this, why don't you withdraw to the fortifications?"
"Nope." Hu Hao knew that the fortifications on the mountaintop platform had not been repaired at all, and they were completely ineffective, and if he really had to withdraw to the fortifications, the situation would only be worse than now.
The commander of the L company shouted bitterly: "Yingzuo, leave some seeds for our L company." ”
"Fart!" Hu Hao said angrily, "Lao Chi, you listen to Lao Yanzi, the people are in the position, if the ridge position is lost, the old man will shoot you first." ”
"Yes!" The commander of the L company returned to the command position in a gloomy manner, and there was nowhere to vent the fire in his heart, so he snatched an imitation Czech light machine gun next to him, and then held the machine gun and fired fiercely at the bottom of the slope, roaring hoarsely while firing wildly, "Dog's little devil, grandpa fought with you, fight, ahhhh......h
The frenzied strafing of the L company commander soon attracted the fire of the Japanese army, and the fire of six or seven submachine guns poured into the L company commander almost at the same time, and the L company commander's chest was instantly beaten into a blood sieve, and the strong body of the L company commander swayed back and forth like a defeated leaf in the wind, and then pushed the gold mountain and fell backwards.
"Old Pool?!" When Hu Hao rushed over and picked up the commander of the L company, the commander of the L company had already died of exhaustion, and then looked around and around, less than half of the officers and men of the L company could still lie on the ridge line and persist in the battle, and in less than ten minutes of the firefight, the L company had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and Hu Hao hurriedly replaced the L company with the second company.
Hu Hao handed over the battle to the commander of the 2nd company, and came to Qiu Weida and said bitterly: "Tuanzao, Xiao Ri's firepower is too fierce, and the brothers are about to be unable to withstand it.
"Resist, must resist." Qiu Weida said, "I have asked the signal corps to notify the L Battalion and the 2nd Battalion, and they will rush over to reinforce them soon." ’
"Tuanza, it's too late." Hu Hao said miserably, "Waiting for the L battalion and the 2nd battalion to come for reinforcements, it will take an hour to say the least, but we can't even withstand it for half an hour." After that, Hu Hao said in a pleading tone, "Tuanzuo, withdraw, give up Meigang and withdraw, you can leave some seeds for our 3rd battalion." ”
"No way!" Qiu Weida flatly refused, "The task assigned to our regiment by the division seat is to hold Yuhuatai at all costs, and if you want to withdraw, I won't withdraw anyway." ”
Hu Hao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, just this kung fu, the 2nd company that had just gone up was about to be unable to withstand it, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "3 companies follow me, the brothers have listened to the old man, today I will fight with the little devil of the dog's day, they can go up the mountain if they want to, but they have to step on our corpse, go!" ”

Shigemi Ohara pulled out his pocket watch again, and this was the seventh time he had checked the time in fifteen minutes.
The tenacity of the defenders of Yuhuatai is somewhat beyond Owara Shigemi's expectations, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, although the Owara brigade is well-equipped, but after all, it is fighting behind enemy lines, and the ammunition is also very limited, once it is not possible to quickly seize Yuhuatai, the troops of the Nakagawa country in all directions will quickly reinforce it, and the Owara brigade will soon be in danger
Time was moving forward second by second, and Ohara Shigemi became inexplicably agitated.
Originally, the Ohara Brigade could easily take Yuhuatai, because Ono's sharp army had successfully touched the secret post and the bright post set up by the national army on the northern slope, but who would have thought that in addition to the open post and the secret post, the Nakahara army also used a German shepherd, and it was this German shepherd dog that spoiled the good things of the Ohara team.
Shigemi Ohara was very knowledgeable about dogs and recognized them as German Shepherds
The German Shepherd was lying in the grass in front of Ohara Shigemi at the moment, his belly was still rising and falling slightly, although he was dying, he still showed a hideous expression towards Ohara Shigemi, baring his teeth, and howling low in his throat, Ohara Shigemi had a very strange feeling, this German Shepherd seemed to have a bitter hatred with the Japanese army.
Not far from the German Shepherd, lay Private Ono quietly, his throat was bitten off, the large artery on the side of his neck was torn, and the dark red blood soaked a large chunk of the grass and mud under him, and the accompanying military doctor sat next to Ono with a medicine box on his back, he had no choice but to watch Ono die.
When Owara Shigemi was hesitating to kill the German shepherd, there was a sudden gunfire behind him, followed by a dense gunshot, and when Owara Shigemi hurriedly looked back, it was a guard post set up five hundred meters away and the enemy caught fire, needless to say, it must be the Chinese defenders in Nanjing City who rushed to reinforce.
