"Commander, it's ready."

At night, on the position of the flag slope. Krupp pulled out all the large-caliber guns of the artillery battalion, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the Japanese positions on the west bank.

"It's going to be a good night tonight, so you're going to have a shot?" Krupp asked in a flurry manner.

Liao Mingyu ignored him, just lying on his stomach in the fortifications and looking at the dark other side, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Commander? Are you going to be ready to bang those deflated calves today? Now little Japan doesn't dare to fight back. Li Liansheng is also a little eager to try.

4 155 howitzers and 6 Krupp 105 howitzers gave him great confidence, and the artillery battalion had an advantage in the process of bombarding the Japanese during this time.

The few remaining 105 guns and the few 75 field guns of the devils could not suppress them at all.

After some time, Takeuchi Renshan ordered the cessation of this pointless confrontation, and he ordered all Japanese artillery not to return fire unless necessary, in order to save the already small number of shells.

The Japanese are running out of money, and their supplies are gradually thinning.

The Sichuan Army didn't care about this, anyway, the artillery shell tube was enough to bombard him with ten or twenty rounds a day, and at the same time, it could also make those raw melon artillery more familiar with the operation of artillery, and they should use the Japanese as targets to practice.

For this reason, the growth of the artillery battalion was huge, and the original artillery battalion of 500 people has also increased to nearly 1,000 people, and the reserve artillery has taken turns to practice.

An air defense company was also specially set up, with Li Jie of the third battalion as the company commander, and M2 heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft tripods were temporarily used as air defense forces.

Although 10 heavy guns are a bit shabby for them now, as long as the number of artillery and tractors behind them is sufficient, the artillery battalion can be expanded to an artillery regiment anytime and anywhere.

"The little devil is starting to go downhill, but I won't shoot today, and I'll give you two a mission."

Liao Mingyu put down the binoculars and said solemnly: "From now on, I want you to arrange for people to keep an eye on the situation on the opposite shore 24 hours a day, and if you find a mirror reflection signal or an abnormal firefight, you will immediately bombard the position on the opposite bank with full firepower, and at the same time cover the abnormal point with smoke bombs." ”

The two Krupps looked at each other, completely unclear why the regimental commander would give such an order.

"Remember, you must pay attention to the situation on the other side at all times, Deputy Commander Long, their safety is in your hands!"

……

The next day, it was another foggy morning, and the fog spread throughout the mountains. The defenders on both sides of the Nu River were accustomed to this kind of weather.

The Japanese troops on the west bank were doing routine patrols near the South Tianmen Mountains as usual. In the bushes on the left side of the frontal defense line, a cluster of weeds and dead leaves that were still shaking slightly suddenly remained motionless.

The patrol on the path gradually moved away, and two figures covered in branches and weeds gradually appeared.

They were not fast, and used the surrounding bushes and rocks as cover to move slowly forward.

"I'm annoying, it's less than 80 meters, so move more slowly."

"Hmm..."

These two figures are the ones who stayed on the West Bank, Long Wen and Meng Fu!

On that day, they hid in Longling Mountain with Master Shihang and his group, and hid in the guerrilla base in the mountain for a whole day.

Not only were the guerrillas living in the mountains, but also some people from neighboring villages, who built their own wooden huts and sowed seeds on the limited open land.

Due to the relatively long distance and the fact that it is located in the depths of the mountain range, the Japanese wanted to encircle and suppress it, but they could not reach it, and the entire base area was like a paradise, which also attracted many people who were panicked in the mountains to seek refuge.

Last night, led by Master Shihang and another guerrilla, Long Wenwen and the four of them came around the mountain, and took advantage of the cover of night to sneak to the foot of Nantianmen Mountain.

Master Shihang and Zhang Liu kept a distance of about 300 meters behind them, and were ready to support Long Wenwen and the two of them if there was an emergency.

However, everyone prayed in their hearts that this situation would not happen, it was already considered to have penetrated deep into the enemy's hinterland, and if it was discovered, nine lives would not be enough to pay for.

The distance they crawl forward can only be measured in centimeters, they are like a stone, a weed, and they dare not show the slightest sound even if they are bitten by mosquitoes and ants.

The patrols were just a few meters away, and they seemed to have forgotten the time, the distance, and even their own existence. Just lying motionless in the grass, taking advantage of the fleeting opportunity to move forward a few centimeters.

Long Wenwen stared vigilantly at the front to estimate the time passed by the patrol, while Meng was gritting his teeth and breaking out in a cold sweat.

After staying in a prostrate position for a long time, his arms and legs were already sore and numb. But even so, he didn't dare to make the slightest move, he could only keep telling himself in his heart: I don't exist, I don't exist......

It took the two of them four hours to climb less than 50 meters in this position, but fortunately, they had already crossed the most dangerous path, and now they were still a few meters away from the mountain wall in front of them.

Not far away is a group of Japanese fortifications, and you can even see the faces of the Japanese soldiers lying on the sandbags through the grass dragon article.

"Bang bang!"

Long Wenwen was just about to continue crawling forward, when he was startled by the sound of a rapid shot, and his head immediately hit the ground, and the palm that poked out was stuck in the dirt and did not dare to move any more.

“これはどちらもヒットしませんでした。 Foolishness! ”

"Haha!"

It turned out that a few Japanese soldiers were boredly practicing their guns in the trenches against the big trees in front of them, and they laughed at the Japanese soldiers who had just fired their guns for not even hitting such an obvious target.

Relieved, Long Wen took the opportunity to quickly lean forward, and the two of them finally climbed under the mountain wall, and the bushes above the slope provided them with an excellent place to hide.

The two of them made up their minds, this was the first time in a few months that they had been so close to the Nantian Gate, and the countless fortress fortifications were dozens of meters away.

Long Wenwen took out the map from his body and handed it to Meng Fu, and he picked up a monocular high-powered observation mirror and probed ahead.

"The little devil is crazy, the bunkers are so densely built. Recording... The first line of defense, 231 and 297 degrees, 92 gun nests six. ”

Meng was annoyed and hurriedly spread out the map and marked the location mentioned in the dragon article.

"The ladder-shaped positions are all connected, the semi-ring defense, the firing boundary near the river, and the light machine guns and grenadiers can be maneuvered at any time. And three-person and two-person positions, damn it... I can't count them. Long Wenwen lowered his voice and continued to report what he saw the deployment of the Japanese army.

Meng was annoyed and suddenly stopped what he was doing, he frowned and looked at the map for a while, and asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Such a small firing range, six heavy machine guns?" ”

Long Wenwen put down the observation scope and gave him a blank look: "That old devil in Takeuchi has dug up the entire mountain, why can't you put six heavy machine guns." ”

"Semi-ring-type wing trenches, one each at 221, 271, and 296 degrees. Three-zero-one looks like a dark castle, and it's like a fake target, so you can help me take a look. Saying that, Long Wenwen handed the telescope to Meng Annoyance.

Meng was annoyed and took it over and looked at it carefully, and thought about it with experience in his mind: "The machine guns and infantry guns are all in, and it is a mobile fort." ”

"You will look at three one two in a while, the two cannons rely on each other, Twin Forts!" Meng was annoyed and handed the telescope back, but the shock in his heart made his hands tremble uncontrollably.

"What are your hands shaking? Is this scared? Long said.

"I'm just thinking, this is still the first line of defense, if we attack head-on, I'm afraid the entire Sichuan Army will have to be wiped out." Meng was annoyed and preached with palpitations.

What he said was the truth, every firing point in Nantianmen was spitting out projectiles at a rate of hundreds of rounds per minute, and in the frenzied firepower and dense firing range, no matter how sophisticated the weapon was in your hand, you would not have the chance to set foot on the West Bank without paying several times the price.

"That's why we're here."

Long Wenwen pointed his telescope at the sacred tree at the top of the mountain, and he was thinking about something in his heart.

"Hey, believe it or not, there's definitely a tunnel leading to the tree fort at the top of the mountain!"
