The Nara Infantry Brigade of the Otsuka Wing has a machine gun squadron under its jurisdiction, with a total of 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, organized into three machine gun squads (with an ammunition squad attached). This night raid on Hekou Village brought one of the machine-gun squads, and the other two remained in Fengdian County.

At this moment, three of the four heavy machine guns of this machine gun squad are lined up and ambushed at the foot of Guanmen Mountain, monitoring the bottom of Guanmen Mountain Pass from the side. As Li Tianlin on the mountain pass analyzed: once the Eighth Route Army rushed down from the mountain pass to support Hekou Village, these three heavy machine guns would give fierce side shots.

Protecting these three 92 heavy machines, there is also an infantry squad of the Nara brigade. Just now, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the 5th Company and the 5th Platoon accidentally crashed into this Japanese ambush position that was still being set up. Afterwards, the squad leader of the Japanese army immediately sent someone to report the incident to his squadron leader and Nara Shaosa, but Captain Nara didn't care too much about it, he wanted this position to be able to effectively block the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army from the direction of the mountain pass, as for anything else, it was not a problem.

Captain Shao Zuo had obviously ignored the two Eighth Route Corps that had rushed out of this machine-gun position of his, and if he knew what this meant for the machine-gun position, he would not have taken it so lightly.

In the area of Yamaguchi, the 5th Company had already formed a team to assault the Japanese machine-gun position.

After the planning of Xiao Junping and Li Tianlin, and after some disputes between the two, it was finally decided to divide the troops into two ways to carry out the operation. The first route consisted of 5 companies and two platoons, reinforced with a Czech light machine gun, and launched a feint attack from the secret communication ditch to the foot of the mountain pass, opposite the Japanese heavy machine gun position, attracting them to open fire and expose the specific position of the position; On the other hand, Li Tianlin personally led 12 members of the enemy engineering team, all armed with short guns and a large number of *, along the dry valley of the Qinglong River in the center of the mountain pass, to hide at the foot of the mountain, and after the Japanese heavy machine guns fired, they looked at its position, crawled over and destroyed it with *.

The use of the enemy team to attack was the reason why Li Tianlin and Xiao Junping had a dispute. The commander of the 5th Company insisted on drawing candidates from his other platoon, and Xiao Junping strongly recommended that all members of the enemy engineering team use short guns and are easy to carry and throw*. As a matter of fact, the current more than 20 members of the enemy engineering team were originally from the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion, and even the deputy captain Chen Xuanzhu was a platoon commander of the original 5th Company. But Li Tianlin's initial opposition was that he was unwilling to let the enemy workers take such a big risk. The commander of the 5th Company was well aware of the importance of intelligence work, and also understood the importance that Deputy Battalion Commander Wu Zijian relied on the enemy's engineering team, so of course he refused to agree.

In the end, it was Xiao Junping who brought out the overall security situation of Hekou Village, and proposed that the commander of the 5th company should not personally go into danger, and the deputy company commander should command the assault on the Japanese machine-gun position, so that the other party was subdued. Li Tianlin knew that Dou Xinzhi was far from being the opponent of the Jin army's intelligence staff, so he had to compromise in order to gain the power to lead the assault.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The second platoon, under the leadership of the platoon commander, smoothly followed the traffic ditch into the wilderness below the mountain pass, and lay down on the bank of the frozen Qinglong River. At this moment, behind them to the left, is the head of Hekou Village, which is only a few dozen zhang away; In front of them, on the opposite bank of the Qinglong River, there should be a heavy machine-gun position laid by the Japanese army; If the Japanese had set up their positions near the riverbank, they would have been dozens of feet away from here.

There was still no movement on the side of the estuary, and it seemed that one wave of enemy attacks on the village had been repulsed, and the next wave had not yet begun. The second platoon commander lying on the ground calculated, and the enemy engineers led by the company commander should have almost descended to the foot of the mountain along the valley of the Qinglong River, he looked at the dark opposite bank, and pulled the trigger of the Type 38 rifle.

"Bang!"

The bullets flew to the opposite bank, but did not cause any repercussions. The second platoon commander ordered a squad to open fire, and more than a dozen rifles fired almost simultaneously, and this time, at last, a return fire was drawn, and at least two machine guns roared; Listening to the sound, there is no doubt that it is a ninety-two heavy machine! Looking at the direction, it was within 50 zhang. The second platoon commander was secretly happy in his heart, and while shouting to everyone to lower their bodies to prevent being shot, he ordered to fire in shifts in shifts to attract the opposite side to expose the fire point, and at the same time let the Czech style also start, and sure enough, the shooting on the opposite side became more frequent and intensive.

Curled up at the end of the valley of the Qinglong River at the foot of the mountain, Li Tianlin and the twelve enemy engineers could clearly see the tongues of fire sprayed by the heavy machine guns from the Japanese positions from this angle. Everyone felt their hearts pounding - if it hadn't been discovered by a comrade-in-arms by mistake in advance, then this machine gun position hidden by the little devil on the other side of the river would have been a slaughtering ground prepared for the 5th Company! Frightened and angry emotions were intertwined in his heart, Li Tianlin pulled the nearest enemy engineer around him, and everyone began to climb out of the ravine one by one, crawling towards the Japanese machine-gun position that was firing feverishly.

Visually measuring the distance of only about twenty feet, they crawled forward for a while and then stopped, here they could almost feel the temperature of the heavy machine gun spraying flames in the direction of the oblique stab, Li Tianlin unscrewed the lids of the three * he was carrying—he was sure that his former subordinates were doing the same thing—and then pulled the first one*, and threw it in the direction of the flashing red light, and before it exploded, the second one was thrown in the same way. At the same time, a dozen members of the enemy workers behind him threw their hands one after another*; The players who were far away even bravely stood up and rushed forward two steps before throwing * far away.

Rumble! Rumble!! Rumble!!!

Dozens* exploded one after another, and in the dark, at least half of them were accurately dropped on the Japanese machine-gun positions. The violent explosion swept over the Japanese soldiers who were shooting at the opposite side.

After Li Tianlin threw out the third *, he immediately pulled out the shell gun on his waist and began to shoot continuously, and when he counted the fifth bullet, he resolutely roared back: Withdraw!

The enemy workers who succeeded turned around and ran away with their shell guns.

It's a classic raid. Of the twelve enemy engineers and the commander of the 5th company, only two were slightly wounded by the indiscriminate gunfire from the Japanese position, and the rest crawled back to the mountain pass fortifications along the same road unscathed; And a platoon that served as a feint on the opposite side paid the price of four dead and seven wounded - after all, it was too close to the devil's heavy machine gun, and there was no cover.

But Rao is like this, the 5th Company and the enemy engineer team jointly carried out this assault, from a feint to a sabotage attack, the tactics were vividly and vividly played, and the combat quality of the Red Army veterans was also fully reflected here: the Japanese machine-gun position, at the end of a confrontation round, was dumbfounded.

At the head of Hekou Village, Wu Zijian saw the occurrence and end of this raid in a shadow, but the deputy commander of the second battalion was completely confused about it.

At first, he was startled by the sudden battle outside the village, and the sound of the 92 heavy machine gun once made Wu Zijian think that the Japanese army had begun to attack the Guanmen Mountain Pass, triggering Li Tianlin's return fire from the mountain pass fortifications there - there was a 92 heavy machine in each of the two fortifications——, but he soon realized that the roar of the heavy machine gun did not come from the 5th company fortifications above the mountain pass, but from the foot of the mountain!

Before the deputy battalion commander could ponder it, the Czech machine gun exploded crisply again, and it was closer to the village of Hekou; At this time, Wu Zijian is almost certain that his 5th Company is doing something. The deputy commander of the second battalion couldn't help but be angry: When he began to retreat from outside the village to Hekou Village and the mountain pass fortifications, Wu Zijian specially sent a messenger to inform Li Tianlin that he would lead three platoons to defend the mountain pass and not act rashly before dawn. Later, when Xiao Junping and the enemy team were sent to the mountain pass, this point was emphasized again. But Li Tianlin, this kid, dared to disobey the order without authorization!

"Deputy battalion commander, it seems that our company commander sent someone to fight down, do you want to go out and pick it up?"

In Makqin's fortifications, a heartless squad leader of the 5th Company looked at Wu Zijian excitedly and said. Wu Zijian glared at the squad leader viciously, and was about to have a seizure, but suddenly thought: With Xiao Junping in the mountain pass, he knows how to deal with powerful relationships, how can he sit back and watch the commander of the 5th company insist on going his own way? Wrong!

At this moment, a huge, dull explosion sounded, and Wu Zijian, who had been in battle for a long time, immediately heard that it was the sound of a large number of * concentrated explosions; In the sound of the explosion, the roar of the 92 Heavy Machine stopped, and only the messy one-shot shooting continued. Soon, the crisp Czechs began firing alone, as if challenging the heavy machine guns on the opposite side. Eventually, however, everything fell silent again.

What Wu Zijian couldn't understand the most was how the 92 Heavy Machinery (which should be Japanese, and there were more than one or two) could appear at the foot of the mountain, which was neither the direction of attacking Hekou Village, nor facing the Guanmen Mountain Pass. And the firepower of the duel with these 92 heavy machines seemed to be agreed with the other party, and they launched mutual fire on both sides of the Qinglong River.

What the hell is this Li Tianlin doing!?

"Communicator," shouted the deputy battalion commander reluctantly, "go to the mountain pass at once and see what is happening there?" Be careful, there are devils' heavy machine guns outside the village. ”

As soon as the messenger left, a soldier of the 8th Company ran in out of breath:

"Report to the deputy battalion commander, there is a situation in the west of the village, the forward position heard the marching and calling of horses, and the commander of the cavalry company Xia Company judged that the enemy may be gathering a large number of cavalry opposite the west of the village!"

Assemble the cavalry!

Wu Zijian's heart sank. After repelling an enemy attack in the battle of the village just now, he was thinking about why it was the infantry who suddenly came up, and where did the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army who had been fighting with the 5th company outside the village go? Will they attack in a different direction?

Wu Zijian still remembers the last battle against the puppet Mongolian cavalry battalion in Hekou Village, when he only caught up with the second half of the battle. After the battle, Xia Lianshan, then deputy commander of the 5th Company, who was in charge of the command, and Xiao Junping, then staff officer of the Jin Army, who witnessed the battle situation, all comprehensively and seriously reviewed the first half of the battle at his request. At that time, the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army quickly switched to attack the western section of the village after the defeat at the head of the village and almost succeeded, which attracted Wu Zijian's attention. It also made him change the legend that the puppet Mongolian army was vulnerable.

Could it be that these Mongol cavalry still want to storm the western section of the narrow village like they did last time? Now guarding the western front of the village are the two platoons of the 8th Company that have just come out of the mountain, and they are not familiar with the place, and their weapons and equipment and combat capability are much worse than those of the 5th Company; The worst thing was that there was never experience in fighting cavalry - when the 2nd Battalion ambushed the Japanese cavalry squadron at Dawangyu in Little Elm Mountain, the 8th Company was absent because it stayed at the station!

Wu Zijian secretly shouted that it was not good, and he ordered the platoon commander in the front yard to take full command of the defense of the village, and he took another platoon of the 5th company and dispatched to the west of the village. However, they had not gone far when a dense burst of gunfire was heard from the west of the village.

As Wu Zijian expected, a cavalry battalion of the puppet Mongolian army took advantage of the night to cross the glacier and began a fierce assault on the west of Hekou Village!
