"Regiment Commander, our medical platoon is here, it's not too late, right?"

The commander of the third company had just walked for less than three minutes when he saw the medical platoon coming, except for Xiang Xueqin, who was already pregnant, all the rest were there.

Seeing that the medical staff were carrying on their backs, the comrades behind them were carrying stretchers, and there were many villagers from Qinglong Village in the middle, Zhang Qingshan had to stand up, nodded to Qin Fang, and hurriedly walked to the villagers.

"Folks, why are you here? Go back, it's too dangerous here. ”

"Regiment commander, look at what you said, in order to defend us, you are throwing your heads and spilling blood here, although we are a little older, we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but we still have the strength to help carry stretchers and transport the wounded. ”

Knowing that the other party was modest, Zhang Qingshan had to smile and nod, and was about to speak, but he heard the sound of artillery below sound again, obviously, the little devil was attacking the first line of defense on the right flank of the assault regiment.

Platoon Commander Wang waved his hand and shouted: "Comrades, folks, the time has come to reflect our values, let me go!"

After speaking, after saluting Zhang Qingshan, he took the lead and ran down without looking back.

......

The right wing of Qinglong Mountain is a bit similar to a chair, but the slope is not so steep.

The first line of defense at the forefront is built on the 'chair legs', which is about a mile and a half away from the main road, and the terrain is like a notch open to the outside. Because of the distance, it is within the firing range of the little devil's small steel cannon. Therefore, the little devils can completely swing their artillery on the main road and shell the first line of defense.

The second line of defense is built in the 'middle of the chair', about a mile away from the first line of defense, and can provide strong fire support to the first line of defense. But its position and distance are still within the effective firing range of the little devil's small steel cannon. However, the second line of defense has a lot of rocks, and the forests on both sides are quite dense, so when the fortifications were first built, a lot of work was put into this line of defense, and the fortifications were very strong. If nothing else, just the supporting wood, not smaller than the mouth of the bowl. Therefore, I am still very confident in resisting the power of the small steel cannon.

The third line of defense is built at the top of the 'chair', and the hill is relatively steep compared to the front. In addition, it is four or five miles away from the main road, and there is a high barrier of the second line of defense in the middle, so even if it is still within the range of the little devil's shelling, because the surrounding terrain is open, it is conducive to the spread of defensive forces, so it is relatively advantageous compared to the anti-artillery. And because of the slope, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack...... As the last barrier, there is no need to say much about the work that goes into it. No less than ten anti-artillery holes alone were built, and they were built according to the strength of half a battalion (because of the problem of mountain space, it was also impossible to spread out the strength of a battalion, at most half a battalion, so only half a battalion could be built, so only half a battalion could be used to build fortifications. As for the remaining half of the battalion, it had to be used as a reserve).

Due to the obstruction of the second line of defense, from the third line of defense, it is still impossible to see the battle situation of the first line of defense.

No matter how anxious he was, he could only stare dryly, Zhang Qingshan simply lay on the ground depressedly, staring at the blue sky with wide eyes, and playing for the soldiers in his heart, but pricked up his ears to listen to the explosion of the little devil's shells.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The first line of defense of the little devil against the assault regiment was only shelled for about three minutes before it stopped.

Zhang Qingshan sat up, looked down, and muttered: "Strange thing, the little devil has been shelling Pigeon Mountain for fifteen minutes, but he has been fighting our first line of defense for so many minutes, it's really unreasonable?"

Sun Bingcheng, the guard on the side, didn't know why, but when Zhang Qingshan saw it, he had to guess: "Maybe it's because the little devil's cannonballs are insufficient, so let's save it." ”

Zhang Qingshan glanced at him angrily, and said, "If there are not enough shells, can they still blow up so many shells on Pigeon Mountain?"

Seeing that Sun Bingcheng scratched the back of his head, laughed silently, and looked honest, Zhang Qingshan couldn't say anything to him, so he had to stand up, pick up the telescope, and observe the changes in the second line of defense - after the shelling, the devils will definitely attack the first line of defense, and at that time, the soldiers on the second line of defense will inevitably support the first line of defense with firepower, and when the time comes, you will be able to judge whether the first line of defense is critical from the degree of firepower on the second line of defense.

Of course, it wasn't long before Zhang Qingshan knew that Sun Bingcheng's guess was really crooked: the little devil crashed headlong, because the previous intelligence on Pigeon Mountain showed that there were hundreds of people building fortifications in Pigeon Mountain day and night, and Pigeon Mountain and Qinglong Mountain were horns on each other, so that the little devils believed that the Eighth Route Army would not give up Pigeon Mountain easily, and once the war started, they must first take the barrier of Pigeon Mountain, otherwise, they would fall into the taboo of soldiers who attacked before and after. Therefore, as soon as the little devil came up, he gave key 'care' to Pigeon Mountain, that is, to eliminate the Eighth Route Army on the mountain, but also to deter the Eighth Route Army.

However, the little devils never expected that Zhang Qingshan would give them such a hand, and the second company commander was even more alert, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately followed Zhang Qingshan's order, and actually withdrew all the people who were not left, and gave up Pigeon Mountain so easily. Let the little devils who are ready to attack Pigeon Mountain must be a tough battle, it is really happy and surprised.

Happily, the Eighth Route Army on Pigeon Mountain actually fled so easily, so that they could take a step without spending a single soldier. Surprisingly, this is not in line with the style of the Eighth Route Army. You must know that this little devil reinforcement has directly fought with the Eighth Route Army, and knows that although the Eighth Route Army rarely competes with them head-on, once they compete, their brave and tenacious style is no worse than their bushido spirit. Now, the Eighth Route Army has given up Pigeon Mountain so easily, and it was given up in advance, from the perspective of abnormality is a demon, there is definitely a problem here.

However, such a problem, under the arrogance of the little devils, was quickly ignored, so after they bypassed Pigeon Mountain, as soon as they regrouped their troops and horses, they could not wait to launch an attack on the first line of defense of the assault regiment on the right flank of Qinglong Mountain.

The reason why the infantry began to attack after only shelling for about three minutes is just as Sun Bingcheng said: After the little devil came from afar, he wanted to sneak attack the headquarters of the assault regiment non-stop, basically taking the trail all the way, and bypassing the Chinese village, so as not to be discovered (Zhaojia Village was because some villagers found the little devil, and the little devil surrounded to prevent leakage of news, and directly slaughtered Zhaojia Village), and it was a rapid march, without the help of mechanization such as the convoy, so the amount of ammunition carried was bound to be small. The second reason is that in order to deal with the third line of defense of the assault regiment, it is necessary to have some reservations in terms of shells......

The first line of defense of the assault regiment is a little difficult for the arrogant little devils, but it is not big, it is nothing more than having to face the fire support on the second line of defense, and it is just that it needs to pay more shells; and the second line of defense is really insignificant in their eyes, and they even think that after the first line of defense is broken, the Eighth Route Army on the second line of defense will be self-defeating, or it will be forced to take the initiative to withdraw to the third line of defense.

In their eyes, the third line of defense is the focus of the Eighth Route Army's protection: first, this is the last line of defense on the right flank of the assault regimental headquarters, and if it is broken, Qinglong Mountain will also be finished, so the assault regiment will inevitably concentrate all the remaining forces to make the final dying struggle; second, because of the slope problem and the long-term operation of this line of defense, the third line of defense must have made some preparations to deal with it, and it is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack; third, compared with the first two lines of defense: the devils cannot spread out the superiority of troops, but in the same way, the assault regiment cannot spread out all the numbers of defenders, at most it is a little more than the little devils。 However, behind the third line of defense is flat ground, and the number of troops spread out will increase all of a sudden, while for the attacking side, the forces will still not be able to spread out, and the strength of the other will artificially increase the difficulty of the attack.

And the best way to deal with the third line of defense is only artillery bombardment, so the little devil will deliberately reserve some shells, in order to attack the third line of defense, with the advantage of shells, the third line of defense can be taken down in one go.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da! da! da......"

Soon, the gunshots rang out, and there was an instant roar, indicating that the fierce battle on the first line of defense had begun, and it also indicated that the offensive and defensive battle of Qinglong Mountain had officially begun.

In the first few minutes of the start, no one fired a shot on the second line of defense.

"Da! da! da......"

But after a moment of heavy gunfire, two light machine guns rang out from the second line of defense.

Zhang Qingshan immediately judged that the devil was very fierce as soon as he came up to attack, forcing the soldiers on the second line of defense to have to provide fire support to their comrades on the first line of defense. However, just machine guns, it seems, the level of the battle is not too intense.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

After a few more moments, the commander of the third company, commanding on the second line of defense, had to order all the fighters to open fire. The rifles were fired almost in unison, and in an instant, the sound of the rifles drowned out the sound of gunfire and the gunfire of the first line of defense.

Zhang Qingshan, who was standing under the tree and observing the second line of defense with a telescope, immediately frowned: The little devil's attack is inevitably too fierce, isn't it? It has only been about ten minutes, and the second line of defense has been forced to open fire with all its strength in order to support the first line of defense. That is, the first line of defense, which is now under a lot of pressure, may even reach the point of having to retreat.

"Whoosh!whoosh!whoosh......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The shelling of the little devil sounded very appropriately, and when it hit the second line of defense, it immediately forced the people on the second line of defense to dodge, greatly reducing the fire support for the first line of defense......

Zhang Qingshan put down the binoculars, raised his head slightly, and looked ahead, as if he could pass through the mountains and the battlefield and see the commander of the little devil directly.

"The commander of the little devil is good, he has a very good set of troops, and he has a very experienced vision and grasp of the war......

The understatement tone, coupled with the cold eyes, perfectly reflected the fury in Zhang Qingshan's heart......
