Shimizu Dazuo can indeed be regarded as an excellent commander, and at least he did not make a mistake in judging that the soldiers and civilians in the base area of the Eighth Route Army would be paralyzed and careless.

After countless bloody battles, more than two-thirds of the main force jumped to the outer line of the devil's encirclement to fight, and the small number of troops left in the base area protected the villagers and the devils fought in circles, and they were almost exhausted.

In particular, the common people, who were digging ravines in the mountains and hiding in Tibet, were caught by the devils and either died under bayonets and bullets, or were escorted to enemy-occupied areas and locked up in "human circles" to work as coolies.

Isn't this the tragedy of the villagers of the Zhao family's camp who did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going back to their hometown, and were ambushed by the devils?

Yang Bangzi and a few people have not been paralyzed ideologically, but they can't stand some comrades and fighters, and they have relaxed their strength to be on guard against devils all the time.

The defense on the north peak is handed over to the deputy head of the dozens of Zhuang Ding, Yang Bangzi judged that the devil came from the south, if you want to build the cottage, you must first fight for the south pass and the east mountain beam, the devil specified that he wants to fight quickly, so he will not use the tactics of the siege on all sides last time, and he must use heavy troops to gather at one point and attack with all his might.

For this reason, he put his soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to the east of the cottage, from Dongshan Liang to Zhaimen, and from Zhaimen to Houshan. Three defensive lines were arranged. The high ground on both sides was handed over to Zhuang Ding to guard. The terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the devil should not make great efforts to attack the mountain.

Zhuang Ding of the South Mountain Peak is not far from the South Pass, and there are eight roads that are ordered to retreat from the Pass to the mountain in the afternoon, so their vigilance is still quite high, not to mention that the retreat of the entire cottage is guarded here, and the rope ladder of the cliff is kept, this is everyone's way to save their lives, and no one dares to slack off.

And the lads on the North Mountain. I stayed here all day, in the morning I was basking in the sun, wrestling and playing, and in the afternoon I was awakened from a nap by the fierce gunfire sound of Dongshanliang and Nanyakou, and one by one I was full of energy, and I was ready to fight with the devil.

The left and the right are not coming, and the hillside is getting more and more intense, and the more the movement is bigger! On this side of the mountain, a few shells fell halfway up the mountain, and the elevation angle was too large. The distance is too far, and the little devil's mountain artillery in the valley can't hit the north peak.

This is the North Mountain. An oblique mountain beam leads from the back cliff to the peak, and the south side is the boundary that is not very difficult to go up, and the other three sides are almost all straight up and down cliffs, and under the stone cliff in the north is a narrow stone beam that connects to the big depression, and the west and east sides are rock walls that cannot be up and down.

The deputy head of the sect is arranged according to the deployment of Yang Bangzi after surveying the terrain, and there are a few marksmanship haode Zhuang Ding on the narrow stone beam in the north, and there are also people who specialize in watching and listening to movements on the rock walls in the east and west, so long as you are not lazy and do not slack off, there is no problem.

The key is that these Zhuang Ding are used to being taught to be casual on weekdays, after all, they are not so disciplined by the regular army, and the dozen of the cottages are lively, especially the hot oil array is burning red, and the people watching the battle applaud, the lookout post is itching in their hearts, and they can't hold back their temperament, so they all run over and huddle together to watch the excitement.

The speed of the devils was too fast, and the number of reconnaissance posts sent out was still not enough, although the traffic officer in Linjian Village brought back important information, but he did not see that there was another squadron of devils going around the inaccessible barren ravine to the north.

This squadron was specially selected for mountaineering and cliff climbing, and they all carried professional mountaineering tools, and it is said that the officers who led the squadron were all members of the Japanese Mountaineering Association, and they were all mountaineers before the war!

Now you can understand why Qingshui ordered the continuous shelling for so long from dusk, using the sound of artillery to help the troops attacking from the north to cover up the sound that might be made when climbing the mountain.

The devil really didn't give it for nothing, the hook, the rock bolt, and the protective rope were quite slippery, it took a little more than an hour, and the 100-meter-high bald rock wall was almost to the top, zuihou was a rock flute that stretched out a little bit obliquely, as long as you climbed up, crossed the dwarf shrubs and wild grass densely covered on the edge of the cliff, it was a small open space on the top of the cliff.

Under the cover of the fierce battle in the south, the devils on the north road quietly transported more than a dozen people, all of whom turned over the rock lengzi and hid in the bushes, and Captain Koji Nakano, who led the team, ordered all of them to start climbing along the more than ten ropes that went down, and he was the first to go up.

Arriving at the bushes under the cliff, he could faintly hear the laughter of Chinese on the mountain, climbed over and looked at it, there were about thirty people on the small open field, most of them gathered on the cliff edge in the south, talking and laughing, probably watching the battle.

After retreating, he immediately decided that the first batch of more than ten soldiers to come up would jump up the cliff together in a while, and fight with the enemy in close combat as fast as possible, delaying as much time as possible, so that the soldiers who came up along the rope could replenish and take the hilltop position.

The battle was brutal and tragic from the start! Half of the young men who were still elated by the defeat of the devils under the mountain just now were torn to pieces by the grenades thrown before they could turn around to see whose hands they died!

The Zhuang Ding, who survived by the shrapnel blocked by their own companions with flesh and blood, almost frightened them stupid by the sudden explosion! The deputy head of the sect was still more astute and roared, "There are devils!" Only then did they all come to their senses, and through the smoke of gunpowder reflected the swaying shadows on the edge of the cliff, they rushed over with a broadsword and a rifle.

There is not much space on the top of the cliff, and the two of them hedged, and before they ran a few steps, the two guys collided together! The roars, the gunshots, the metal sound of knives and bayonets, the muffled sound of chopping people, the cracking sound of poking the internal organs of the stomach and chest, plus the sound of cursing and moaning, in just a few minutes, more than a dozen people were lying on the ground, and several severed arms and legs were still trembling slightly.

There are no extra words, Zhuang Ding and the devils who survived the first round of collision, with their own and others' blood, stared at each other with red eyes, and a few seconds later, the second round of fighting began!

The martial arts that Zhuang Ding was brought out by the leaders of the sect are absolutely good, in this kind of melee combat, with the weight of the big sword, they don't suffer in a one-on-one situation! More than a dozen people used a small number of casualties in the first round of combat to kill half of the devils who rushed up.

With the advantage in numbers, the remaining seven or eight devils were forced to retreat, and they were about to be driven to the edge of the cliff, and the deputy head of the sect shouted, "Brothers, cut down the little devils!" After saying that, he rolled sideways, and the big knife in his hand swept over against the ground, cutting off the legs of a devil from the ankles!

Just as a carp jumped up, the big knife in his hand was raised above his head, and he wanted to chop a devil with a gun down the mountain with the momentum of Mount Tai, and the deputy head felt that something was shaking in front of him, and then several black whirring things passed by him.

It's not good to think about it! Just as I wanted to turn around and shout to everyone to lie down, a few fires that rushed into the sky wrapped the deputy head of the sect!

Seven or eight grenades exploded on the top of the cliff one after another, blowing up and shattering the people on both sides who were fighting on the edge of the cliff!

This captain Koji Nakano can also be called unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal. He was lying on the edge of the cliff to watch the battle, seeing that the first batch of soldiers who rushed up were counterattacked and retreated, and the whole army was about to be wiped out, and only a few soldiers came up behind him, even if they made up for it, it was enough to choke the enemy to cross the eight-way broadsword, and in a hurry, in order to be able to take the top of the cliff, he ordered to throw all the grenades he carried!

Devils are like this, in order to achieve their goals, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice their own lives!

Seven or eight devils and more than a dozen Zhuang Ding all fell in a pool of blood, and Captain Nakano raised the eight boxes, and the soldiers of the second echelon jumped up in the grass and rushed to the top of the cliff! (To be continued......)
