The commander of the devils, Kazuta Terada, thought that he had found the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and at all costs, stormed the mountain and gradually narrowed the encirclement.

On the high ground that was taken care of by the devils, most of the soldiers of the first squad and the two machine gun crews were sacrificed, and Yuan Pengfei was also seriously injured.

It stands to reason that after being bombarded once, he should have a long memory and take more precautions!

But there is no way, he, a sharpshooter, will not make a move, and as soon as he shoots, it will be the devil's machine gunner, the commander.

The devil hated him so much that he took special care of him, and rewarded him with more than a dozen cannonballs. No matter how fast he moves, he will inevitably be injured by the cannonball chasing after his ass.

And he was wounded and bleeding, making his already weak body even weaker

However, fortunately, the time to hold on was enough for the people to transfer, and they had no worries.

Take advantage of the opportunity when a wave of devils' attacks was repulsed and stopped. Several people got together for a short time to discuss the follow-up.

"Old Yuan, let's withdraw!" Chen Qiao proposed.

Deputy Company Commander Li Zhiqiang nodded, obviously meaning the same.

Yuan Pengfei pondered for a moment, "It's okay to retreat, but you have to leave someone to cover, otherwise the devil will catch up, and it won't be a way." ”

The three of them discussed a few words and decided to leave a squad to block the enemy, and the others immediately moved.

Zhou Wen, the reconnaissance squad leader who was acting with Yuan Pengfei, immediately asked him after learning the news: "Battalion commander, give us the task of holding Hutou Mountain, and we will resolutely complete the task." ”

Yuan Pengfei was reluctant in his heart, he looked at Zhou Wen, who was determined, pondered for a while and said: "The battle has been more than three hours, and our blocking task of protecting the people has basically been completed.

In order to preserve the combat effectiveness of the company and strive to let the people who have been transferred out go further, now leave your squad to block the enemy, and you must hold out for two hours.

When it gets dark, the devils shouldn't attack. Depending on the situation, you can retreat wherever you can, and then find a way to return to the army after getting rid of the enemy. ”

Zhou Wen said firmly: "Please rest assured that the battalion commander will definitely complete the task!" ”

"Yes, we are determined to complete the task."

Deputy squad leader Wang Wencheng, Sun Hai, Li Heiniu, Zhang Fugui, Song Zhanpeng, Luo Xueming, and several soldiers also replied in unison.

"Remember the story I told you!" Yuan Pengfei reminded.

Zhou Wen smiled, "Battalion commander, I haven't forgotten!" The little devil wants to come up, unless he flies up in a cannonball. ”

"Okay." Yuan Pengfei said approvingly, "Now I order: the reconnaissance squad will take up the cover and block mission!" The rest of the crew replenished part of the ammunition to the reconnaissance squad and retreated with me. ”

Seeing the comrades-in-arms who were far away, Zhou Wen and his comrades-in-arms in the reconnaissance squad were ready for battle.

Zhou Wen ordered: "Brothers, tie up these four boxes of grenades for me, bury them in a dangerous section, and leave a meal for the devil." ”

In a few moments, a few boxes of grenades turned into crude versions of "mines". The fighters of the reconnaissance squad were buried like mines, halfway up the mountain from now on, almost to the top of the mountain, and grenades were planted on all the dangerous sections of the road where the enemy might pass.

Wang Wencheng said happily to everyone: "Our squad leader is really thoughtful, and even the devil's meal is ready." As long as the devil comes again, let him taste the taste of our "Hutoushan brand" mines. ”

Not long after climbing to the top of the mountain, gunfire rang out from the bottom of the mountain, and five or six hundred enemy troops were moving towards the mountain.

Zhou Wen hurriedly reminded: "Be ready, no one is allowed to shoot without my order." ”

Seven men uncovered the grenade cover at the same time, pushed the bullet into the chamber of the gun, and stared intently at the devil who was climbing up.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, followed by two more.

In an instant, the sound of the whole tiger's head rumbled, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and one enemy after another flew into the sky with the smoke and rocks, and fell into the valley.

Wang Wencheng said humorously: "Look! The seeds we planted just now are now blossoming and bearing fruit, and it's really fast! ”

"Little devil, have you eaten enough grenade buns? Our Eighth Route Army is full. Li Heiniu said angrily.

When the others heard this, they burst out laughing.

The smoke gradually dispersed, and I saw the dense enemy under the mountain, and began to tremble and climb up again.

This time, Kazuta Terada, an old devil, learned well, and he ordered the puppet army to open the way in front and let his Japanese soldiers hide behind the puppet army's ass.

With one loud rumbling bang after another, he climbed up from the halfway up the mountain for a while, triggered seven or eight "Hutou Mountain" mines, reimbursed more than 20 puppet troops, and five or six devils were implicated in the explosion and fell off the cliff.

Soon, the devil arrived at the narrowest part of the mountain road, where the mountain soil was soft, and Wang Wencheng buried half a box of grenades there.

One puppet army passed, two puppet armies passed, three puppet armies passed.

"Hey, why didn't it blow up?" Zhou Wen asked suspiciously.

"Let the bomb wait a while!" Wang Wencheng said with a smile.

His grenadiers had already been prepared, and by the time the dozen puppet troops in front had passed, a few devils had just walked there.

As soon as the belt on the launcher in his hand was drawn, a grenade flew into the sky, like a fairy flying out of the sky, and exploded in the pile of devils.

This was followed by a louder explosion, as if Hutou Mountain was shaking, and the stones on the cliff rumbled down.

The Japanese puppet army on that section of the road, no one escaped, either buried alive by the earth and rocks, or was smashed by stones to break bones and tendons, and fell off the cliff together.

And this road is broken, and the devil will not be able to come up for a while.

Zhou Wen knew that the devil had suffered such a big loss, and he would definitely not give up. Hurriedly led the soldiers to quickly transfer and ran towards the tiger's mouth at the top of the mountain.

Kazuta Terada hid behind the rocks, listening to the earth-shattering explosions on the mountain, watching the team fleeing in the wilderness, and screaming angrily "Wow, wow".

scared Zhao Xingwang, the pseudo-army leader with a depressed face on the side, and thought what the little devil was going to do!

As soon as the seven people reached the "top of the tiger's mouth" on Hutou Mountain, the little devils began to shell the mountain.

In an instant, from the halfway up the mountainside to the "top of the tiger's mouth," the smoke from the shells on several small hills rose everywhere, trees and rocks flew sideways, and the small pine trees that were in the cracks of the stones were also blown up.

The intense artillery fire lasted for half an hour before finally stopping.

When the smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, Zhou Wen opened his eyes vigorously, and the other six warriors were like yam eggs dug out of the soil, and their bodies were covered with dirt.

They shook the dust off their bodies vigorously, and opened their eyes to watch around for the enemy's movements.

Seeing that no one was injured, Zhou Wen's hanging heart was put down. He asked with concern, "Brothers, are you all right?" ”

Wang Wencheng patted the soil on his head and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing at all." I don't know if the devil artillery is blind or not, and the whole mountain is fighting indiscriminately, and they can't find us at all. ”

"I don't think it's their artillery that is blind, it's their shells that are blind, and they can't detect us at all." Li Heiniu said angrily.

At this time, Zhang Fugui, Song Zhanpeng, and Luo Xueming quarreled over how many shells the enemy had fired.

Zhang Fugui said: "This mortar has a fast rate of fire, and I see 240 rounds in half an hour. ”

Song Zhanpeng: "I think there are more than 240 rounds, the devil should use a 70 mm caliber, 11-year-old mortar, which can shoot 20 rounds a minute." Four mortars, three rounds a minute, also 360 rounds. ”

Luo Xueming retorted: "The devil's ammunition doesn't really cost money, I remember the battalion commander said." The devil is in charge of the artillery squad of one cannon, four people carry the cannon, six people carry the cannonballs, a total of 48 rounds, and the four squads have a total of 192 rounds.

Eight horses pulling cannonballs, each pulling four boxes of 32 rounds, for a total of 128 rounds. All the shells totaled only 320 rounds. So much was wasted when the war started, how could it be possible to fight more than 300 rounds now. ”

Zhou Wen saw that the three of them were arguing, and hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, the three of you don't fight, as long as you don't fight us, it is equivalent to 1 shot." ”

"That's not going to work." Luo Xueming said with a serious face: "I have to count, and when someone asks in the future, I have to seek truth from facts, and I can't talk nonsense, otherwise others will say that I am bragging!" ”

Zhang Fugui also said very seriously: "That is, didn't the battalion commander say that you have to seek truth from facts to fight devils."

If you go down and knock down three, you can only say three, not ten. If you hack a devil to death with a big knife, you can't say that you tore it with your hands.

In that way, when others hear it, they will say that we are bragging and discrediting our independent group! ”

Looking at Zhang Fugui's serious appearance, everyone was amused by him and couldn't help laughing.
