Xu Jiu finally woke up from his coma, he was like a bear who had just woken up from hibernation, his body was still a little stiff and clumsy when he first woke up, but after moving his legs and feet a few times, he immediately became the same as usual, veterans are like this, as long as they can still move, you can hardly tell that they have been injured.

Looking around, Xu Jiujiu found that it was already dark, and the entire battlefield was silent.

With the light scattered from the Japanese position on the opposite side, Xu 19 saw more than a dozen remnants of the 61st Division, they were squatting, lying, or sitting in the trenches, almost all of them were wounded, and through the dark night, they could faintly see that there were many figures in the two main trenches in front and the foxhole in front of them.

Seeing all this, Xu Shijiu was a little relieved.

In any case, at least the main position of Fortress Hill has not been lost, as long as it holds on until dawn tomorrow, its 19th Brigade will definitely be able to rush to Fortress, and if it holds out until tomorrow evening, Zhong Song's independent 20th Brigade should arrive no matter how slow it moves, right? As long as the Zhong Song Brigade arrived in time, there was still a possibility that the Wusong defense line could be stabilized.

As for whether these remnants of the soldiers in front of them can hold out until dawn tomorrow, only God knows.

A rush of footsteps interrupted Xu Shijiu's thoughts, and when he looked back, it was the seal who hurriedly approached with two security guards, and saw that Xu Shijiu had woken up, the seal breathed a sigh of relief, but said teasingly: "You can be regarded as awake, if you don't wake up again, my seal is really pulling out with the brothers." ”

Seeing that the seal was still in the mood to laugh, Xu Shijiu knew that the battle situation had not completely collapsed.

Xu 19 fell into a coma during this time, the remnants of the national army guarding Fortress Mountain were all under the command of the seals, and the seals briefly introduced the battle situation to Xu 19, the peripheral positions of the artillery platform have all been lost, and there are less than 300 people left in the remnants of more than 600 people, fortunately, the main position of the fortress mountain is still there, and the national army still has the capital to resist stubbornly.

In addition, the Japanese troops on the opposite side also seemed to be tired, and the few tanks they only had were blown up.

Zuihou seal said again: "Just now the Japanese army divided troops to the southwest of Fortress Mountain, it is estimated that they are planning to copy our back road, I am worried about the lack of skills, fortunately you wake up, now we are each responsible for one direction, our Wusong security team does not dare to compare with the central army, the number of small Dongying in the southwest is smaller, and it will be handed over to us over there." ”

Xu Shijiu was about to nod his head in agreement when a crisp gunfire suddenly sounded under the night sky.

##########

When the gunshots rang out, Shigemi Ohara was telling the allusion of "repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly crossing the Chen Cang".

After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese government used the massive indemnity paid by the Manchu government, which was equivalent to more than six times its annual fiscal revenue, to run a large education program, and the overall quality of its citizens was qualitatively improved, but after all, there were still a few people who had received higher education, such as Captain Fujimoto, who was only a farmer in Nagoya before he joined the army.

Owara Shigemi told the story of Han Shinming's construction of the plank road and the secret crossing of Chencang, and Captain Fujimoto and several orderly soldiers of the brigade headquarters were fascinated by it, and sighed in their hearts the breadth and profundity of Han culture, as well as the infinite wisdom of the ancient Han people, and then they were proud in their hearts, and a nation that was once so glorious was about to be conquered by the Yamato nation.

Thinking of the previous surprise attack on Ohara Shaosa, Captain Fujimoto suddenly realized, and said at the moment: "Captain, you used to make a feint in the southwest direction of Fortress Taiwan with great fanfare, but you ordered the Sakurai squad to take the waterway to launch a surprise attack from the front of Fortress Mountain, isn't this 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secret Crossing Chen Cang'?" ”

"Yo Si." Captain Fujimoto compared himself to Han Shin, the immortal of the soldiers, which greatly benefited Owara Shigemi's heart, and he was about to praise Captain Fujimoto a few words, but suddenly a crisp gunfire came from the direction of Fortress Hill, and then the gunfire was loud, and after a little argument, the gunfire actually came from the front of Fortress Mountain.

Obviously, the Sakurai team that made a surprise attack on Battery Hill made a mistake.

"Eight Grids." Ohara Shigemi couldn't help but be furious and scolded, "Sakurai, this idiot, didn't I tell him to go up the mountain quietly, don't shoot a gun, why is he so careless?" ”

Captain Fujimoto said, "Captain, what now?" ”

"What else can I do, Sakurai, this idiot has been exposed!" Ohara Shigemi viciously drew his saber and slammed it towards the front, shouting hoarsely, "Order, the artillery squadron will attack with firepower, and the Maehara squadron and the Murayama squadron will make an all-out assault to attract the two wings of the Chinese army, and be sure to cooperate with the Sakurai squad to seize the commanding heights of Fortress Mountain." ”

Second Lieutenant Sakurai was actually quite wronged, and it was definitely not what he wanted to fire, at least the first shot was not fired by his people.

The person who fired the first shot was Liu Genshuo, who swam across the Huangpu River from the other side of the river, and Liu Genshuo's luck was also very bad, he had already swam to the west bank at about two o'clock, but just in time for the Japanese army to land on the beach, several Japanese gunboats began to patrol along the river after transporting soldiers and supplies, and as a result, Liu Genshuo was blocked in the reeds.

Because the reeds where Liu Genshuo is hiding are still separated by nearly a thousand meters from Fortress Mountain, and there are several hundred meters of tidal flats in between, once he gets out of the cover of the reeds, Liu Genshuo, who is trapped in the tidal flats, will definitely become a live target for the gunboats, and Liu Genshuo is not afraid of death, but if this affects the shooting accuracy of the artillery on the east coast, it will be his dereliction of duty.

It wasn't until night fell that Liu Geunshuo finally waded through the tidal flat and touched the foot of Fort Mountain.

In the dark night, Liu Genshuo touched the front of Fortress Mountain, Liu Genshuo was wondering why no one stepped forward to check, and suddenly tripped over something under his feet, Liu Genshuo staggered and stood still, and then looked down through the cold moonlight, but saw a corpse under his feet, which seemed to be wearing a Central Army uniform.

Squatted down again and looked, sure enough, it was the brother of the Central Army, he was stabbed in the neck, blood was soaked all over the ground, and his body was still hot, it seemed that not long after he was killed, Liu Genshuo's hairs suddenly stood up, and the Japanese army tried to sneak attack from the laxly garrisoned Fortress Hill? !

Liu Genshuo studied in the artillery department of the Central Military Academy, but before he entered the school at the age of eighteen, he had been an infantry for two years, and he was "well-informed" about all kinds of infantry tactics, so when he saw the corpse of the national army lying at his feet, he thought of two points, first of all, the national army was very lax in the garrison of the front of Fortress Hill, and secondly, the Japanese army wanted to sneak attack from this direction.

Without any hesitation, Liu Genshuo took out the shell gun and shot it into the sky.

When the gunshots rang out, Second Lieutenant Sakurai was holding a dagger and touching the national army sentry on the mountainside.

The national army sentry was relieved, and he was ignorant of the impending death, and Second Lieutenant Sakurai even needed only one forward pounce to cut his neck, but at this time, a gunshot suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain, and the national army sentry in front was alarmed by the gunshot, and suddenly turned around, and came face to face with Second Lieutenant Sakurai.

Second Lieutenant Sakurai scolded in his heart, and suddenly pounced forward.

The national army sentry is also a veteran, reacted very quickly, dodged one by one, and crawled to the half-buried bunker not far away, while already roaring hoarsely: "Little Japan sneak attack, little Japan sneak attack......

Second Lieutenant Sakurai pounced, got up and threw the dagger in his hand again, allowing the national army sentry to dodge again.

At this time, more than a dozen national troops in the half-buried bunker in front were also alarmed, and with a few flashlights, the bullets of the Czech light machine gun splashed like water, and occasionally a few grenades were thrown over, and the depression where Second Lieutenant Sakurai was hiding was splashed with mud and smoke.

Seeing that Xingzang had been completely exposed, Second Lieutenant Sakurai had no choice but to pull out his saber and wave it forward, and ordered loudly: "Kill and change ......"

Forty or so Japanese soldiers who were waiting for the shelter not far behind them rushed forward, set up all kinds of guns and grenadiers and fired at the national army, and two Japanese soldiers held explosives bags and rushed to the bunker under the cover of night.

Hearing the loud gunfire on the front of Fortress Mountain, Xu Shijiu's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he asked the seal: "Captain Hai, how many people have you placed in front of Fortress Mountain?" ”

"Battery Hill front?" The seal's face also changed, and he stamped his feet and said, "Oh no, there's only one class there!" ”

You can't blame the seals for being careless, because during the day, the Japanese army has established a beachhead on the left side of Fortress Hill, and the Japanese army also launched from the left side during the day, not to mention that the tide has receded at this time, and the front of Fortress Hill is a large area of silt and tidal flats.

"The 1st and 2nd companies stayed behind, and the 3rd company got bayonets, follow me!" Xu Shijiu turned around and left.

If the Japanese army is allowed to seize the commanding heights of Fortress Hill and build a machine-gun fire point on it, the consequences will be unimaginable, and at that time, the entire Nationalist position in Artillery Taiwan will be within the coverage of Japanese machine-gun fire or artillery.

The remnants of the 61st Division, who were resting in the trenches, stood up silently, put on their bayonets in silence, and followed behind Xu 19 in silence, rushing to the top of the fort.

The seal was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground, why was he so careless?

However, this leak was made by the Wusong security team, to be exact, it was made by himself, and he must not only let the brothers of the 61st Division rush up to plug the leak, and under the shame, the seal was also aroused to be ferocious, and immediately turned his head and yelled: "The brothers of the security team will follow me, and Xiao Dongying will drive them back wherever they come from!" ”
