At about 20 o'clock that night, as soon as the southern front and the eastern front began to fight fiercely, Fan Daring received a call from Yang Bangzi, ordering him to launch an attack on the enemy in front of him, in order to attract part of the devil's strength and firepower, and indirectly support the 17th Regiment of the hard fighting on the southern front.

Fan and Commander Yang said his troops would attack at around 21 o'clock at the latest.

The special training camp was supplemented with some new fighters, plus the Baishishan guerrilla brigade and other local armed forces under the command of Fan Daring, he had more than 1,000 people in his hands, he looked at his watch, there was still half an hour before the scheduled attack time, and the battle on the southern front was still fierce, which could be heard from the sound of gunfire.

Today, after an uncharacteristic halt of more than 10 days, the devils suddenly and frantically attacked the two fronts in the southeast, and this change in the enemy's situation was very unfavorable to the planned general offensive of the Eighth Route Army. Judging from the current situation, it will be even more difficult to attack the positions in the northern sector, because the originally planned sneak attack will definitely be a strong attack!

The current battle is likely to be a vicious battle. Fan Daring couldn't help but be a little worried. It is impossible to change the battle plan, Commander Yang has already issued a combat order, and has repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to annihilate this Japanese army and capture the position of the devils in the northern section, so that the devils can withdraw their troops from the southern front and come back to consolidate the defense of the northern section.

But in order to support the 17th Regiment on the Southern Front, Fan Daring was thinking more about how to command the troops to win the battle at this time. After careful consideration, Fan boldly decided to let the special training camp concentrate on attacking the Mopanshi devil position in the northern section, and use the darkness to launch an attack in advance.

After making up your mind. Fan boldly put the special training camp. Military cadres at and above the company level were summoned to the command post. Mission: The first company touched the top of the millstone mountain from the flank and took the lead in launching an attack to get rid of the Japanese machine-gun position on the top of the mountain; The second company struck from the middle of the Mopan Stone and the Shudi Ditch, cut off the connection between the two Japanese troops, and after succeeding, it broke through to the west, and wiped out the enemy in the devil's garrison one by one in the dark;

The other two companies were inserted from the northwestern ridge to prevent the enemy from escaping back to the town of Zoumayi. Fan Daring particularly emphasized that the overall task of the special training camp is to support the fraternal troops on the southern front to be able to repel the attack of the devils. Then stabilize the position on the northern front, force the devils to flee from the western front, and then cooperate with the brother troops to pursue the fleeing devils and annihilate the enemy in Qinglonggou in one fell swoop.

After the deployment was completed, Fan Daring explained: The reason why we want to launch an attack in advance at this time is because the enemy is exhausted from the resistance of the troops of the 17th Regiment on our southern front, especially since they have been guarding the fortifications all day, and the fighting in the south is so lively that they still dare not sleep. It must be too tired to work, too sleepy. We're going to take advantage of the enemy's trance.

After the companies of the special training battalion received the task, Fan Daring also deployed tasks to the Baishishan guerrillas and the militia of several villages, including Xipotai, and took immediate action. Without a minute's delay, the companies of the special training camp and the local armed forces participating in the battle arrived at their predetermined positions before 21 o'clock.

According to the information provided by the leader of the devil squad who surrendered, the first company followed a ditch at the junction of the defense areas of the two devil squads, and unknowingly touched the forward position under the millstone. A team of three touched it first, and with the cold light of the clasp in his hand, the two Japanese sentries fell silently. Then the fighters of the 1st Company threw out the grenades in their hands, and the dull night was suddenly broken by the rumbling explosions.

The various units of the special training camp ambushed at the foot of the mountain quickly rushed towards their respective targets with Fan Daring's order. At first, the battle went fairly smoothly, and the training battalion soon occupied the Japanese positions at the forward position on the top of the millstone hill. But just as the company was about to continue to attack the main position of the Japanese army on the top of the mountain, a fierce machine gun suddenly sounded on an earthen beam on the left, and this dark fire point was not marked on the defensive deployment map provided by the devil squad leader, this should be a secret hidden fort! The light and heavy machine guns of the two devils, and the dense bullets pressed the first company on the hillside at once, unable to deploy.

Two assault blasts were organized, but they were unsuccessful, and the second company on the right side had also broken through the front of the devil's position, and when it developed in depth, it was intercepted by fire from the Mopan Stone Mountain, and now it is also pressed on the hillside and cannot move! In a hurry, Sun Erhu, the commander of the first company, picked up a machine gun, led a squad to roll down the slope, relied on machine guns and grenades, and rushed desperately to the front of the bunker, and then stuffed a bundle of grenades into the machine gun hole of the bunker.

A moment later, there was a dull bang, and yellow smoke billowed from the bunker. Subsequently, more than a dozen Japanese troops came out of the depression of Tuliangzi. Sun Erhu picked up the machine gun and hit it violently, and the soldiers behind him threw a few grenades, and the more than 10 Japanese soldiers were killed instantly. He was just about to rush forward when the enemy's machine gun on the top of the millstone hill turned to this direction and rang out again. Company Commander Sun was hit by a bullet in one of his arms, and the machine gun fell to the ground.

Fan Daring, who was on the hillside, jumped to Tuliangzi in a few arrow steps, snatched back the machine gun that had rolled into the ditch, and then fired a shuttle of bullets at the top of the mountain, and the light and heavy weapons on the hillside also fired together, which suppressed the devil's machine gun, and everyone escaped.

It turned out that after the defection of the Japanese squad, the third brigade rebuilt the fortifications here, added a new bunker fire point on the earthen beam, and dug a row of holes under the millstone stone, and built machine gun positions in each hole, which can not only constitute a fire point, but also cover and support each other with other holes to form a cross-fire network.

There were also bulletproof trenches dug in front of the machine-gun positions, and if the grenades were not thrown in place and fell into the bulletproof trenches, it would be difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese troops. Fortifications were also dug outside the cave, forming a circular combat fortification that was connected inside and outside, and the hole was connected. The special training battalion did not know about the situation and did not know about the changes in the Japanese position, but as a result, when attacking according to the original route, it paid a considerable price when attacking the Japanese army near the top of Mopanshi Mountain. As soon as Fan Daring saw that the firepower of the devil's position on the top of the mountain was too fierce, and that the newly added holes and bulletproof trenches did not know in advance, the rash attack and the losses were too great, so he immediately ordered the first company to suspend the attack, organize fire to suppress the devils on the top of the mountain, and flank the actions of the second and third companies.

The left flank of the entire northern front was temporarily stalemate. The third company of the special training battalion on the right flank was also after taking the forward positions of the devils. When attacking the main position on the mountain beam again. Unexpectedly, it was suppressed by the dark fire point under the mountain peak on the west side of the valley, and was forced to suspend the attack, and now on the ice wall in the middle, the second company is still braving the crossfire of the devils on the high ground on both sides, attacking the devil's ice wall.

Since the high ground on both sides was suppressed by the new firepower points that the devils had added later, the soldiers attacking in the middle had to brave the rain of machine-gun bullets to attack the ice wall on the side of the devils at the valley pass. The commander of the second company brought the dirt tank up again, this thing is not afraid of the machine gun and small cannon of the devil, but it rushed to the front of the ice wall and was helpless. A five-kilogram ** bag was placed, the movement was not small, and the fried ice chips were also how high the ice chips flew, and there was a large cloud of smoke, but when the smoke cleared, I looked at it again, and the ice wall did not move except for a few pieces of ice!

How did Fan Daring know that these little devils are all groundhogs, graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering, and are the number one ability to repair fortifications and dig holes! Ten days. Not only did they dig a lot of caves and machine-gun bunkers on the hills of the northern defensive line. The ice wall, which is more than a kilometer long, has also been thickened to more than two meters!

The main body of the ice wall is mixed with bricks and stones, and after being built with stones and bricks, the fine soil is sprinkled into it and then watered repeatedly, and the water is sprinkled with fine soil once, so that after a few days, the wall will freeze into a big ice mound! If the five-kilogram ** is to be put aside, half of a large bunker can be blown up, but for this ice wall, it is the effect of collapsing some ice slag!

The commander of the second company asked the earth tank to go up again, and tied the two ** bags with a five-kilogram charge together, but after a loud bang that shook the ground this time, people could not stand in the explosion, and the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the ice wall still did not collapse!

If it goes on like this, even if all the ** bags are used, it can't blow up the gap, and the situation in the south is also very urgent at this time, although the 17th Regiment drove the devils who crossed the river back to the north bank of the Tang River with hand-to-hand combat, but they also suffered heavy casualties, and they are currently fighting hard with the devils who are counterattacking on the front line of Miaogoumen, and there must be a breakthrough in the northern section in order to force the devils to draw troops from the southern front to support the northern front.

The high ground on both sides organized several charges, although the method of digging holes blew up a few devils' machine gun bunkers, but the devil's position on the main high ground still did not take down, Fan boldly judged that if you want to take the high ground on both sides, you have to break through the devil's ice wall in the middle, and then kill from the mouth of the valley, go around to the side of the high ground to copy two breads!

Regardless of whether the southern front is fought or not, the devil's defense line in this northern section has to be taken down by him! Fan boldly came to the fire, and from the first company on the left flank to the second company, he immediately notified the Baiyun Mountain guerrillas and militia behind to start acting according to the second set of plans of the combat plan!

A few mortar shells fell on the high ground of the devil's millstone and the right side, and the machine gun fire of the devil was temporarily suppressed by the explosion of the shells, and the two earthen tanks took the opportunity to swing to the gap in the forward position in front of the ice wall, and the machine gunners of the special training battalion inside continuously shot at the devils on the ice wall, and hundreds of guerrillas and fellow villagers rushed up from behind with large bundles of firewood!

Not long after a hill of firewood was piled up in front of the ice wall, and the devils on the ice wall also found that the eight roads were going to this pile of firewood and grass, desperately shooting down and throwing grenades, but the firewood pile was still growing higher and higher, and then more than ten soldiers of the special training camp rushed up with clay pots on their heads under the cover of earthen tanks, rounded their arms, and threw all the crockpots onto the firewood and grass piles, and many of the guerrillas in the forward position were hunters of Baishi Mountain before joining the army, and more than a dozen rockets whizzed over, How high the flame slammed to the ground! There is also choking white smoke and yellow smoke!

The north in this winter is basically full of northwest winds and north winds raging, and the Japanese defense line in the northern section is at the downwind of the Eighth Road. The firewood and grass piles are mixed with sulfur and wolf dung, and the leaf stalks of the wolf poison basil that has dried up in winter, these things smoke when they see an open fire, and the smoke still smokes and chokes people, and it can kill people!

The Japanese soldiers on the ice wall hurriedly put on gas masks, which was a little more comfortable, but the fire was getting stronger and stronger, the grenade was thrown down, and it was hard to blow it up, and there was not only fire oil in the firewood pile, but also those flammable materials, as long as there were sparks, the grenade exploded at most and scattered the firewood pile, and the fire was not small at all!

The fire borrows the wind, the heat wave is ** rushing to the ice wall, and the gas masks of the roasted little devils are spent, which is winter, the bare skin is scorched by the heat wave!

Don't think that you won't be flustered when you stand on the ice wall, just like that, the devil soldiers can't help but hide to the side and under the ice wall, and it is impossible for such a big fire to come up on fire!

Don't say anything impossible these days, the more afraid you are, the more you must be here! In the skyrocketing fire, the Eighth Road is still coming! (To be continued......)
