Section 16 The situation is grim

"Boom", a* deviated from the original flight route, hit the thick trunk and exploded violently, the big tree was hit by this heavy blow and immediately let out a cry of pain, and then half of the tree pole fell down with a thick layer of branches and leaves in the *, so that the jungle that was originally covering the sky and the sun exposed a gap.

The sunlight poured down through this space, illuminating the originally dim woods, and the dazzling light illuminated the ugliness of the world through and invisibly escaped.

The Japanese army launched another attack under the leadership of Mita Hidetoyo, and the dozen or so corpses on the hillside not only did not defeat them, but aroused the violence in their hearts.

These soldiers of the Fujita squadron seemed to want to vent all their previous shame and hatred at this moment, and the offensive was extremely fierce.

The soldiers of the national army on the hillside immediately could not resist, on this protruding hill, they only had a platoon, and the weapons and ammunition were even more scarce and simple, after repelling several waves of Japanese offensives in successive fierce battles, they were almost exhausted of ammunition, and they could no longer organize an effective counterattack, they could only watch the Japanese army roar and kill, helpless.

Originally, they were stationed here just with the commanders holding a kind of idea that talk is better than nothing, after all, the mountainous area of Minshan is criss-crossed from east to west, the mountains and forests are steep, and it is impossible for devils to fight the idea here, but who would have thought that in the case of the fall of Ruichang and the bitter battle in the De'an area, this mountain range has become a natural defense line to resist the Japanese army's southward movement, and because of the existence of that hidden path, it has also become a great hidden danger.

It's a pity that the commanders are high up and don't know the situation here, even if their battalion commander reports the situation here, the commanders choose to ignore it, and the devil will send people into the mountains to search for this mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles? Everyone scoffed at this, rather than wasting troops and ammunition on these barren mountains and mountains, it is better to protect the Nanxun line to the greatest extent, if Jiujiang and other places can be successfully recovered, the defense line on the south bank of the Yangtze River will be impregnable, and the Japanese army on the front line of Ruichang is isolated and helpless, and it cannot turn up the big waves at all.

"Withdraw, withdraw, the turtle son's firepower is too fierce, and he can't resist." A dark-skinned, wide-mouthed second lieutenant platoon commander saw that the devil was about to rush up, and couldn't help but yelled unwillingly, he hated, in a short period of time, most of the thirty or so brothers in a platoon fell, although the devil couldn't fire in the mountains and forests, but the machine guns below relying on the body of the tree gave them great damage, and they couldn't lift their heads for a while, and after the charging devil approached, they were smashed in a series of * on their heads, and there was nowhere to hide.

If they have machine guns, relying on the advantage of geographical advantages, they can give a heavy blow to the devils below, and if they have *, they can also give a strong sniper to the Japanese squad in a group of three or three, but unfortunately they don't, more than 30 people, more than a dozen broken guns, more than a dozen bullets per person, not to mention fighting devils, even if it is not enough to fight birds.

The officers and men of the Sichuan army who got the order turned around and left, such a battle was too aggrieved to fight, after losing half of their brothers, they even lost the power to counterattack, and staying here again was purely to send them to death, withdraw, withdraw to the back line of defense, as long as the people are still there, there is still a chance to take revenge and blood hatred.

Looking at the robes lying on the battlefield, the familiar faces no longer had the chatter and laughter of the past, everyone looked sad and angry, and everyone was very unwilling.

The Japanese were overwhelmed by the suppressive cover of the machine guns on both wings, and a series of * completely shrouded the enemy positions above in continuous explosions, and after several successive impacts, they finally "tore" the opponent's defensive line, but to their surprise, there was no enemy in front of them, except for a gradually cold corpse, they found nothing.

Mita Hidetoyo looked around suspiciously, this mountain is not conspicuous in the continuous mountains, at best it is just a protruding dirt slope, and the people of China actually have a defense here, which shows that the scout's investigation before is accurate, which makes him excited, and his actions are more rapid.

Immediately, Mita Hidetoyo's heart beat rapidly, and after climbing the hill, he saw the Shina people who were retreating into the depths of the jungle, and saw a road that was not clear, but it did exist, the mountain road was not obvious, and even at this end of the hillside no one would find it at all, but the sparse grass on the ground was very different from the rest of the place, and the trees were widely spaced from each other was enough for them.

This is the mountain path that runs through the Minshan mountain range and has no obstacle in the mountains? This is the way to ignore this hundred-mile mountain range and give De'an a fatal blow? Looking at such a trail that seemed to be just beginning, but hidden countless hopes, Hidetoyo Yamada couldn't control the excitement in his heart at all, and gasped for breath.

"Quick, speed up and catch up, don't let the people run away." Mita Hidetoyo's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and shouted wildly, at this moment, he had lost his usual shrewdness, like a drowning person grabbing a little floating thing, and he refused to let go.

Fujita Hidetake couldn't help but be startled by the shouting of the chief of staff beside him, but he was worried about his brother's injury, and his heart ached about the previous losses of the squadron.

The Japanese army was like a bamboo, and the three lines of defense were linked, and the Sichuan military camp retreated step by step. On both flanks of this jungle road, the national army troops are either relying on the soil slope, or obstructed by mountain stones, or covered by woods, and the best geographical advantages are possible, however, no matter how good the defense needs to rely on the support of weapons, no matter how dangerous the pass is not guarded, it is in vain, in the face of the Japanese army's light and heavy machine gun suppression, in the face of the enemy's almost inexhaustible *, the brothers of the Sichuan military camp were controlled everywhere, and suffered heavy casualties, and this situation was not improved until Wang Lingji, who rolled up his cuffs, personally arrived with the elite of the Sichuan military camp.

The attack of the Fujita squadron seemed to hit a thick iron plate, after the impact of the team was shot by two machine guns that suddenly appeared and killed most of them, Mita Hidetoyo stopped in horror and categorically stopped the pace of the attack, however, the heavy casualties that lost dozens of people here did not make him angry, but made him ecstatic, chasing all the way, the road under his feet is getting wider and wider, and what is even more incredible is that this road is actually along the bottom of the peaks, winding and cleverly avoiding various difficult places, Along the way, it is like walking on the ground.

Looking at the enemy looming on the mountainside in front of him, looking at the dense thorn bushes in all directions, it is impossible to make a detour to dodge, Mita Hidetoyo thought about it, and then narrowed his eyes and invited Fujita Hidetake over, the two of them discussed how to continue the next attack, and sent someone back to report the situation, it seems that if the main force of the brigade is not transferred, it is really impossible to open up this mountain road, but thinking of the benefits of completing this thing, they don't have any intention of retreating at all. Instead, you can put it first.

At this moment, on a densely wooded hillside, Lin Xiufeng was summoning Hu Liqun, Qu Yuben, Wu Zihuai and others to discuss the grim situation in front of them.

After a few months of bloody battles, Lin Xiufeng seems to be much calmer, but that elegant atmosphere has not changed, after all, he was born in a big family, and he has been cultivated in this area since he was a child, and he has a kind of arrogance and self-confidence that distinguishes him from ordinary people in his bones, and it is this temperament that makes Hu Liqun, Qu Yuben and others on the side ashamed of themselves, they dare to shout when facing the stone, but in the face of this group, they are respectful and abnormal, this is the gap brought by identity.

Lin Xiufeng has been following Ji Hongru's side for a long time, and he has personally formulated several battle plans, but the first time he commanded such a battle, he still couldn't help but be a little nervous, especially this battle is very important, and a little carelessness may endanger the hundreds of thousands of troops on Nanxun Road, which made his body tremble slightly, and his hands didn't know if it was because of nervousness or the weather was too hot, full of sweaty hands, slippery and abnormal.

Clenched his fists fiercely, thinking that he finally had the opportunity to command a regiment of battles independently, and finally could show his talent, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, his eyes swept over the faces of Hu Liqun and others, and saw them respectfully waiting for him to speak, and the feeling of being in power also made him confident.

"Battalion Commander Hu, Battalion Commander Qu, how is the defense line of the second and third battalions prepared?" After Lin Xiufeng took a deep breath, he asked in a deep voice.

Hu Liqun immediately replied: "The regiment is attached, the time is too short, and there is no arrangement in the early stage of the Sichuan military camp, it is too difficult to build a three-dimensional construction in a hurry, and the mountains are different and flat, the roots are wrong, and the mountains are densely covered with rocks, it is difficult!" ”

Waving his hand, he categorically interrupted Hu Liqun's complaint, Lin Xiufeng said resolutely: "It's useless to say these things now, the devils have already called, the strength of the Sichuan Barracks is limited, and it won't be long before you can reach the front, if you drag on here, we will all be finished." ”

Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai couldn't help adding: "Otherwise, throw everyone up, including the supplementary battalion, and first make every effort to build a front-line position, in case there is an accident in the front, as long as the second battalion holds on to the front for a long enough time, with the continuous mountains and forests and dangerous places, it is dragging and dragging the devil to death." ”

Lin Xiufeng immediately said: "What the chief of staff said is right, just follow this method, and in addition, immediately report the situation here to the brigade seat, so that Shangfeng can prepare as soon as possible in case of accidents." ”
