Chapter 53: The Mountaintop

Climbing to the bare top of Nantianmen, Chen Yubang wanted to lift a heavy machine gun, and there was a sound of gunfire in his ears.

On the steep hillside, the Japanese were one step slower than us, and we seized the high ground in front of them, condescending to point fire at their crawlers.

Panting and climbing to the top of the mountain, Annoying had already begun to organize personnel to block the Japanese army, and the rest of the people began to dig trenches with the rudimentary tools in their hands. Trenches were difficult to dig from the top of the volcanic debris mountaintops, pickaxes sparked in the ground, and sappers shoveled down to bring up thin dirt. Everyone knows why there are not so many shrubs and flowers on the top of this mountain, and the volcanic rocks have long been integrated with the earth after thousands of years of weathering.

So they gave up digging deep trenches, digging out the sparse layers of soil on the volcanic rocks, and piling up bunkers with gravel and earth.

Chen Yu lay down in a freshly excavated foxhole and used his binoculars to observe the Japanese soldiers who were climbing the hillside. This was by no means a Japanese scout, but the forward of a squadron of personnel, which was to chase the Sichuan Corps from the airfield, and finally chase the defeated Japanese brigade.

The Japanese soldiers, with their aunt's belts tied to their foreheads, charged to the top of the hill without the cover of artillery fire. This Japanese army has the mentality of broken jade, and the humiliation given to them by the Sichuan Army along the way is enough for the Japanese commander to issue such a fatal order.

Behind the South Heavenly Gate, on a winding and rugged road.

When the ancestors built the highway, they bypassed the South Tianmen and chose the most gentle terrain, which also caused the entire road to be in the sight of the South Tianmen. Occupying the South Heavenly Gate is tantamount to choking the highway.

Annoying and jumped into the foxhole where Chen Yu was with a gun: "This is not a Japanese scout, it's a striker." ”

"Even if it's the Chinese army, what can you do?" Chen Yu still used a telescope to observe the situation of the Japanese army under the mountain.

"Do you have a quasi-letter, then we will fill in here and let others cross the river."

"I don't want to die under my own gun."

"yes, hey."

Chen Yu put down the binoculars and loaded his rifle: "On the opposite side is the special service battalion of the division headquarters, the group of waste mortars has not been erected, the heavy machine gun point is not even human, and the light and heavy fire points are all exposed on the other side of the river. Not to mention the Japanese army, even if I lead people to rush, they can be smashed, such a river defense is useful. ”

"So we can cross the river and help build a river defense on the other side!" Annoying reminder.

Chen Yu knocked his annoying helmet with the butt of his gun a few times: "You plan to take more than a thousand people across the river slowly under the watchful eye of a squadron of the Japanese army?" ”

"Damn little Japan."

"Hmph."

With a snort, Chen Yu began to run in the improvised trench that had been constructed. Seeing Chen Yu leaving, he turned around and climbed behind the rock, accurately aiming at the crawling Japanese soldiers for point shooting.

"What are heavy machine guns doing with crossfire, lined up?" Chen Yu used the butt of his gun to hit the British helmet that wanted to be numb.

"Turtle son drops, let Lao Tzu take a breath."

Chen Yu said angrily: "When you die, no one will disturb you to breathe, and you can just breathe when the time comes." Arrange a few more reserve fire points, if you are killed by the Japanese army, don't blame me for taking you to war. ”

"I know."

Yao Ma just climbed up with a crane gun and prepared to set up a firing point, but after being scolded by Chen Yu, he was helpless, and began to disassemble the heavy machine gun, erecting the heavy machine gun in the rear of the right side, and forming a crossfire point with other heavy machine guns. The choice of the heavy machine gun firing point does not require Chen Yu to say too much, and a veteran like Ma will naturally choose a suitable location.

"Grenade !!" Chen Yu shouted, straightened his waist and threw out a grenade.

Steep hill with grenades rolling down the slope. A burst of smoke and dust exploded, and the rest of the people also threw down their grenades, and the mountain behind Nantianmen climbed a huge height difference, which became our geographical advantage to block the Japanese army, and when the Japanese artillery fire had not yet been set up in place, the blocking became much simpler.

A few minutes later, when the four heavy machine guns were erected and assembled, the crossfire caused the Japanese troops, who had climbed halfway up the hill and were only more than 50 meters away from the position, to scurry. An explosion and heavy machine gun fire suppressed, but there was still a fierce Japanese soldier with a strip of cloth tied to his forehead and a rifle in his hand charging feverishly.

'Onboard! ’

'Onboard! ’

'The locusts are onboard! ’

The Japanese army did not care about the casualties, just as we ambushed them, and they rushed to the high ground regardless of the casualties.

Chen Yu fired a bullet, and on the road in the distance, the Japanese army's follow-up baggage team arrived and began to busily set up artillery fire. They came out of the woods and immediately began to set up artillery, including two Type 92 infantry guns that Chen Yu hated to death.

'Bang Bang~~~'

Two shells exploded at the hilltop position, and the roar of the heavy machine guns began to disappear intermittently, leaving only the dragon alone in continuous firing.

Chen Yu picked up the binoculars and observed the Japanese artillery on the road: "The 92 infantry cannon is a correction shell!" Heavy machine guns divert the point of ready firing, do not fire in bursts, short shots! ”

Soon, the fire on the position gradually weakened, and from the continuous firing at the beginning, it has now begun to shoot.

It's not that we are short of ammunition, when we came out of the airport, Chen Yu asked everyone to carry enough ammunition, and even organized an ammunition team to be responsible for transporting ammunition. The Japanese artillery began to show its fangs, not only the Type 92 infantry guns, but also the captured 82mm mortars and British two-pounder guns.

Grenades constantly exploded on the positions, creating individual pits for our soldiers who had no cover, and smoke bombs provided cover for the Japanese charge.

The dragon continued to shoot into the smoke, and the long and short shots of 'da-da-da' and 'da-da-da' were in symphony. In the smoke, after losing more than a squad, the Japanese touched the edge of the position under the cover of artillery fire, and the short-range fire of light machine guns and submachine guns suppressed them, turning their charge into death twenty meters.

So the Japanese threw grenades in the smoke, and we threw them into the smoke.

After a while, the smoke drifted to the position, and we were also enveloped in smoke.

Chen Yu put a bayonet on the rifle: "Bayonet, 351 team, hold together, don't fight with the Japanese army alone!" ”

The smoke had already shrouded the position, and the visibility in the dense fog was only a few meters, and bullets and grenades were thrown into the dense fog where shouts were made, regardless of whether they could kill or injure the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese artillery fire stopped, and the fire was extending forward, until it reached the river, and the people who were organizing people to cross the river were dead. He glanced back at the top of the mountain, and then continued to organize the personnel to cross the river.

The special battalion on the opposite side began to break and flee, and they did not even see the shadow of the Japanese army without firing a single shot or moving a single bullet. The heavy machine guns were dropped on the position, and the two 60-millimeter mortars had not yet been opened, and when Chen Yu and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely on the top of the mountain, a few 92-infantry guns vaguely fell on the river, and on the opposite side of the river, the troops directly under this so-called elite division-level unit were scattered.

Master Mai, who crossed the river, did not need to ask the military headquarters for our identity certificates, the special service battalion in charge of the river defense had already run away, and he was asking the military department for reinforcements, and without reinforcements, the river defense could not be defended.

As the first batch of people to cross the river, Chief Ayi was heartbroken when he looked at the weapons left behind by the special service battalion.

Kang Ya planted the flag on the position and looked at the top of the opposite hill with a solemn expression.

"Kang Huoyao, quickly collect these weapons, I think Company Commander Chen needs weapons now." Ah Yi said.

"Who's going to send it? Why did they come over and save them? ”

Ah Yi suddenly discovered one thing, they are now out of danger, do they still have to risk their lives to cross the river to fight the Japanese army?
