"Phew! How can these two bunnies be so arrogant! The position was taken down by us, but his tail was still cocked into the sky. Hong Mu scolded unconvinced, and was smacked hard by Zhang He and the others, who were far away.

"Didn't this kid be taught a lesson by the head of the regiment last time, and he had nowhere to vent when he was angry."

The bearded Fan Xiangwu complained indignantly, he counted the people who came over, and the people on Master Yu's side basically had this virtue, especially the group of student soldiers.

"I said Lao Fan, how did the head of the regiment teach him a lesson last time, tell me."

The last time I went to the Yu division for a meeting, because I was only a company commander, I was not qualified to go. Fan Xiangwu, as the deputy battalion commander, went with him, and he witnessed the whole process of the regiment commander's might.

"Alright, don't talk nonsense here

Finish. Chen Jize impatiently interrupted the chattering Hong Mu, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go down and arrange the troops, the regiment commander's order should come down soon." ”

……

The 1st Main Regiment of the Yu Division successfully crossed the river within 20 minutes, and the Japanese only fired a few shots on the river and then did not react. The Japanese also knew that it was no longer realistic to prevent the Chinese from crossing the river, so it was better to honestly shrink into their positions and wait for them to attack.

Zhang Lixian, who was high-spirited, immediately gathered his troops and prepared to launch an attack on the Japanese army's second defense. Just when he was about to send a battalion to take the lead, he received an order from Yu Xiaoqing.

"What!? Do you want us to follow the battalion commander's arrangement? Why! ”

He Shuguang asked in an exaggerated and loud voice when he got the telegram of the order.

Lai Hong, the former deputy commander who led the first regiment across the river, was very helpless, how do I know that this is the order of the division.

"Contact Shizuo immediately, and I'll confirm it myself!"

Zhang Lixian also didn't believe it, but when the walkie-talkie passed, Yu Xiaoqing's words instantly made his face pale.

"I know what you want to say, but that's what the order is, obey the command of the Sichuan Army with all your might, don't be rash! Now I have to listen to Liao Mingyu's arrangement, you have to hold it for me if you have any anger! ”

Yu Xiaoqing reprimanded sternly on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Yes, I know the master's seat."

Who would have thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly, Zhang Lixian had no choice but to obey. With this order and a stomach full of complaints, he reluctantly led people to Chen Jize's side again.

"Yo, Head Zhang, why are you back again?" Hong Mu, who also received the order, asked knowingly, the look of the hippie smile was really a bit annoying.

Even if he was unwilling, Zhang Lixian did not dare to disobey Yu Xiaoqing's order, and said to himself: "A soldier should take obedience to orders as his duty, and since the division has an order, I have to obey it." ”

Shh~

Hong Mu sneered, and wanted to continue to mock him, but was stopped by Chen Jize: "I also received the order, everyone is for one purpose, don't worry about this." ”

Chen Jize showed the qualities of a professional soldier, and calmly said to everyone present: "The bombardment of the allies will arrive in half an hour, and the artillery bombardment in the rear will also be carried out at the same time, and we need to use this firepower to cover the attack on the mid-mountain rock." ”

"Speaking of which, isn't it still going to be an attack?" He Shuguang preached disapprerovingly. Just now I was talking about not to rush in, but now that the order has come down, I have changed my face again.

"The offense is the offense, but the details are different, don't interrupt and listen to me."

Chen Jize glanced at him coldly and continued:

"After the troops went up, they extended the defensive positions forward with the mid-mountain rocks as the foundation, and at the same time used flamethrowers to sweep the various corridors and bunkers. In particular, we will send small troops into the traffic lanes to make the illusion of attacking inward from the tunnels, forcing the Japanese to engage us. ”

As a node connecting the first defense and the second defense, the mid-mountain stone itself is also an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. This place is full of strange rocks, and boulder walls several meters or even more than ten meters high can be seen everywhere.

Because there are boulders blocking and affecting the firing range, the direct-aiming guns of the second defense cannot penetrate here, so it provides great convenience for the attackers or defenders.

But the starting point of the Japanese army's communication road and various small roads is also here, and it is here that Long Wenwen blasted through the stone wall and entered the tunnel.

The Japanese army used the cover of mountains and rocks to bury countless roads and hidden bunkers here, just to let the Chinese people who did not know the depth of the mountain attack the hillside, and suddenly appeared behind them through the communication road to achieve counter-encirclement.

Therefore, Liao Mingyu decided to let the troops occupy the rocks in the middle of the mountain, uproot the various hidden forts and destroy the Yongdao, and at the same time pretend to attack from those permanent communication roads, giving Takeuchi the illusion that they were going to fight through the tunnels, forcing the Japanese troops who were huddled in the position to attack them.

Takeuchi's biggest reliance is on these large and small rat holes, Liao Mingyu's behavior is like cutting off his roots, which makes Takeuchi calm and bound to do everything he can to obstruct it.

Only in this way can we attract the attention of the Japanese army as much as possible, so that they can invest more troops in the frontal defense line, reduce the pressure on Longwenwen's side, and at the same time do a good job of defending themselves and kill more living forces with firepower.

"Then aren't we going to fight a positional defensive war with the Japanese? What about the people on the top of the mountain who fought with them in a tug-of-war? And if we continue to fight like this, when will we be able to capture Nantianmen? ”

Zhang Lixian said that he didn't understand, and the others also showed the same puzzled looks.

"Please remember that this battle is not up to our gang to capture Nantianmen, and someone will do the final thing. The role of all West Bank forces was to keep pressure on the Japanese and resist their counteroffensive. ”

Chen Jize's gaze slowly swept around, and the officers standing here were all officers of the Sichuan Army and the Yu Division's troops crossing the river, and he had to let everyone clearly understand his position and mission.

"The next battle is not easy, we are likely to face the Japanese army's crazy counterattack, Yu Shi's colleagues, although Chen and you only have one side of friendship, but today we can work together with you to fight the Japanese invaders, you and I have brotherhood, if we don't dislike it, we will be brothers!"

"Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned! If Chen hadn't died in this battle... Definitely have a drink with your brothers! ”

"Isn't the little devil the self-proclaimed No. 1 army in Asia? Let's let them see today what it means to be a Chinese soldier! How can you be without clothes, and be with the Son! ”

The impassioned words made people all moved, and even He Shuguang and others, who had just had prejudices, were also impressed by Chen Jize's courage.

"Good!"

"Okay, listen to you in today's battle!"

"Kill them!"

……

Everyone's emotions were mobilized by him, and the three battalions plus the Yu division totaled nearly 4,000 people, which was the first time that Chen Jize commanded so many troops. His body was trembling slightly, not fear, but an irrepressible excitement.

……

At 11:48, the Japanese attack on the anticline of the tree fort continued.

Unlike the frontal, the anticline is on a steep slope, and to be honest, such terrain is not conducive to attacking. But again, there are more mountain and rock bunkers here, in which the Japanese can shoot at the dragons.

Moreover, the commander of the 5th Brigade had a very good grasp of the rhythm of the attack, never making a pig rush charge, and using rocks and trees to cover the steady advance.

As a last resort, Long Wenwen could only let the soldiers get out of the tree fort and block the Japanese army in the sandbag fortifications outside.

The battle was extremely stalemate, and the Japanese once rushed to a distance of less than 30 meters from the tree fort, but fortunately, they still relied on dense firepower and countless shooting holes on the tree fort to repel the enemy's first attack.

The consumption of such combat ammunition was very huge, and the ammunition of the American weapons had long been exhausted, and the commandos had to replace all the equipment stored by the Japanese army at the bottom of the tree fort.

Fortunately, Takeuchi stored a large number of weapons here in order to run the tree fort, and there were a lot of 92 heavy machine guns and Taisho 14 types, and there were enough bullets. But even so, the casualties of the commandos began to gradually increase.

"Don't care about the dead first, drag the non-dead into the tree, the next wave of attacks from the little devils is coming!"

Seeing that the Japanese army in front had once again organized a skirmish line, Long Wenwen hurriedly shouted loudly.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar of an engine in the sky. Beneath that cloud, a huge bomber and four escort wingmen flew in from a distance.

The B17 Flying Fortress, loaded with two tons of explosives, is finally here!
