Yuan Pengfei roughly guessed the situation at the regiment headquarters, but those things are not what he should care about now, and his own troubles have not been solved yet!

On that day, after killing the devil's armored car, they jumped dozens of miles in the direction of the mountain, and the next day they turned into a distance, and they were about to enter the mountain.

There is no way for the little devils to encircle and suppress them.

At this moment, Wang Erdonkey, who was in charge of the investigation, ran back and said: "There are still people in Dawangzhuang at the foot of the mountain who have not been transferred, and hundreds of people still don't know about the sweep of the devils!" ”

Can you ignore the common people and run away alone?

Of course not.

Yuan Pengfei had no choice but to issue an order for the soldiers and militia to organize the people to move first. Behind the third company, he took cover and scattered the scouts again, taking precautions.

More than half an hour later, the whole village helped the old and the young, and walked into the mountain with their belongings.

This is good news, hundreds of people survived the death and successfully escaped the knives and guns of the devils.

But Zhou Wen, the leader of the reconnaissance squad, immediately brought them another bad news, and the devil had already chased after him.

Chen Qiao: "Old Yuan, the people have just been transferred, and this time can't close much distance at all, so we have to delay for three hours to buy them time." ”

Yuan Pengfei nodded, knowing that he could only do this, "The devil's firepower is not weak, staying in this village is passively beaten, and it will definitely be surrounded by devils, breaking through is also a problem, we can't suffer this loss."

Let's go up the mountain and defend against the danger, the devil's numerical advantage cannot be brought into play there, and when the time comes, the difficulty of retreating is relatively small. ”

Chen Qiao also agrees with this, the mountains are not better than the plains, the terrain is very complicated, as long as you defend the danger, you can block the devil there, and it is difficult to move an inch.

This mountain is called Hutou Mountain, because there is a stone tiger lying on the top of the mountain. It is the most exaggerated one of the whole mountain range, its terrain is very dangerous, there are many cliffs, and it is called "ghost sorrow".

These places cannot even be climbed by goats, wolves, and foxes, and the whole mountain is overgrown with weeds and thorns, making it a strategic fortress that can be attacked and defended.

As long as this mountain is guarded, it is impossible for the little devil to chase into the mountain and hunt down the people who have been transferred.

"Peng Juncheng, with a squad, two machine gun groups, and a grenadier group, will seize the nameless high ground on the right flank of the Beishan Pass with me, control the two roads up the mountain, and the rest of the squads will listen to the command of Company Commander Chen." Yuan Pengfei quickly ordered.

Chen Qiao: "The rest of the squads work in groups of three to seize superior bunkers and support each other during battle. Take a shot to change places, don't get blown up by little devils. ”

At this moment, what is sweeping in the direction of Hutou Mountain is the brigade of Kazuta Terada, as well as the puppet army that has doubled, about 1,500 people.

During this period of sweeping, they were originally a sweeping combination of more than 1,000 people, because of the blow of the Eighth Route Army's breakthrough, more than 200 casualties.

In the later period, the superiors mobilized them to sweep the Hutou Mountain base area, and easily added some manpower to them, so that the sweeping team expanded a lot.

Kazuta Terada looked at the steep mountain in front of him and sighed: "This is Hutou Mountain, it looks magnificent, I don't know what it looks like if it is dyed red with the blood of the Shina people." ”

Adjutant Tanaka Chihiro said confidently: "If you stain the mountain red with blood, it will definitely be spectacular." ”

Just now they had passed by Dawangzhuang, and found that there was still residual heat in the stove fire of the people here, so they were sure that they had just left and would not go far into the mountain.

In a few moments, a group of enemies climbed up the hill along a winding mountain road, getting closer and closer to the position of the third company.

"Smack"

As Yuan Pengfei killed the little devil who spoke the most with one shot, the dense rain of bullets hit the little devil who was climbing the mountain in an instant, and the blood of more than a dozen little devils immediately stained the earth red.

The remaining little devils leaned on the terrain and fired at the enemy on the hill.

However, Chen Qiao arranged for the soldiers to climb all over the mountains, and the little devils could avoid the front, but they couldn't avoid the side, and bullets from all directions hit them, making them dizzy, and they didn't know what to do.

Kazuta Terada, who was still at the foot of the mountain, blushed like a monkey's buttocks. As soon as he said that he had stained the mountain red with the blood of the Zhina people, he let his subordinates fulfill it in the blink of an eye, which was simply a slap in the face.

He said with an unkind face: "Zhao Jun, it's time for your subordinates to contribute to the Imperial Japanese Army." Let them give me the opportunity to cooperate with the Imperial Japanese Army to launch an attack and destroy the Dohachi Road on the mountain. ”

Zhao Xingwang, the puppet army leader who cooperated with the sweep, secretly said that it was not good in his heart, but he could only nod and respond.

When he turned around and ordered the battalion commander under him, he also told his subordinates to sell some strength, and don't let Terada Taijun be angry with him because of the defeat in the battle.

That's right, he was very unoptimistic about this attack, because anyone with a little combat knowledge would understand that the enemy would defend according to danger, and ten times the number of troops would not necessarily be enough.

And looking at the fire on the hill, the enemy seemed to have a battalion, and he was even less convinced of the effect of this attack.

Yuan Pengfei didn't know the opinion of this pseudo-army commander, otherwise he would have to die of laughter.

In fact, this is the effect of Chen Qiao's scattered forces, the soldiers can change places with one shot, which can not only make themselves safer, but also make the enemy look as if the mountains are full of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the puppet commander was right about one point, their attack was futile.

The mountain is dangerous, and under the care of the soldiers' bullets, it is unrealistic to climb the mountain to attack, and the Japanese puppet army can only attack upward along two paths.

But these two roads were so narrow that they fell for every step they took under the blockade of machine guns. And finally came to the front, a wave of grenades went down, and all the effort was in vain.

When Kazuta Yamashita saw this scene in the telescope, he was simply furious. At this time of the attack, the devil's four mortars were also erected.

He shouted angrily, "Shoot me, kill those two machine guns!" ”

"Woo~Boom~"

"Boom~Boom~"

A volley went down, and there was a violent explosion on the hill. The platoon commander Peng Juncheng was killed directly, and the two machine guns were also dumbfired.

The co-shooter of a machine gun, stunned by the explosion, saw that the enemy was about to come up, and hurriedly set up the machine gun and fired downward.

As soon as a couple of enemies were knocked out, another shell flew, and the second-shooter, who was firing, flew into the sky along with the machine gun.

This scene also caught Yuan Pengfei's eyes, he was lying on the rock not far away, and he saw it very really.

"The machine gunner changes positions, don't stay in one place for a long time, hit a shuttle to change places."

The remaining fighters woke up like a dream and hurriedly moved with machine guns.

In any case, the devil's mortars still played a lot of roles, and the machine gunners no longer dared to rely on the dangerous terrain and shoot at the devils unscrupulously.

The firepower of the third company has also been much weaker since then.
