"Strange ......"

"Who?"

When I looked closely, I realized that it was my own people.

It's a soldier of the Eighth Route Army in military uniform!

Doubt......

What part are they?

How did it suddenly appear?

How did you get up to Shanliang?

Is it from behind?

Take out your binoculars.

"Ma Zhong."

"Here!"

"Look at the man on the mountain beam?"

"I'll see!"

Ma Zhong took the telescope.

Take a closer look. Then he shouted happily.

"It's our battalion commander!"

"Our battalion commander is here!"

Zhang Chu was overjoyed.

Is Yang Chenggang here?

Is it really Yang Xiuqin's brother?

Well, this one doesn't matter.

Importantly, a battalion came from the Eighth Route Army.

Although there may only be two or three hundred people. But definitely a new force.

What does he need most now? It's human! The more the merrier.

Preferably the regular army.

And then equip them with the best weapons and equipment......

Hey!

The total annihilation of the Japanese invaders is even more certain.

"How did they get up to the mountain beam?"

"The other side of the ridge is not as steep. It's possible to climb up. ”

"Then why don't you usually walk the mountain beams?

"The top of the girder is very narrow. People can barely get through. But it's slow. Don't think about livestock, vehicles, or anything else. I'm going to fall at any moment. ”

"No wonder ......"

Zhang Chu nodded.

In fact, this is the result of a long time ago.

If a large number of people, livestock, and vehicles can pass through the mountain beams on both sides, there is no point in the devils building strongholds.

The Swallow Gang stronghold is stuck here. It shows that other roads are not easy to follow.

"Sun Desheng!"

"Here!"

"I'm away for a while. You're in charge of commanding the battle! ”

"Yes!"

"Ma Zhong, I'm going to see your battalion commander with you!"

"Good!"

Zhang Chu made proper arrangements. Immediately, Ma Zhong climbed up the mountain beam together.

At this time, some Japanese invaders wanted to climb the mountain beams on both sides.

However, they were all subjected to fire from the M2 heavy machine gun.

Although the distance is four or five hundred meters, the chance of being killed by heavy machine gun fire is extremely high.

Zhang Chu and Ma Zhong climbed the mountain beam.

It is indeed possible to walk on the mountain beam. But very dangerous.

People should also be careful when walking on it. You can fall at any time. Don't think about vehicles, livestock.

It felt like two people carrying heavy machine guns, and they couldn't move on the mountain beam.

It's been a tough journey.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

By the way, shoot and shoot.

Kill the Japanese who tried to climb up one by one.

The corpse of the Japanese soldier rolled down the hillside.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The valley below, which continues to be bombarded by artillery fire.

However, howitzers and field guns have not continued to fire. Only mortars are still firing.

At first glance, it was Sun Desheng's order.

Sun Desheng must have felt that there was no need to use howitzers and field artillery to bombard now. Save a little shell. With mortars is enough.

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

The damage caused by the mortars to the Japanese was also very large.

There were so many Japanese invaders gathered in the middle of a narrow area less than 800 meters wide and less than 5,000 meters long.

Almost every shell that fell could cause casualties to the Japanese invaders.

If there is not a sufficient number of mortars, so many devils, it is indeed not easy to eliminate.

The Japanese invaders' counterattack was also very powerful.

The Japanese invaders who are still trapped in the beast are also quite terrifying in combat.

In fact, the Japanese are indeed bravely occupying the mountain beams.

However, the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, which mysteriously appeared, took control of Shanliang first and gave the Japanese a head-on blow.

Coincidental.

It's really a coincidence.

Zhang Chu didn't know that the Eighth Route Army would appear here.

And the Eighth Route Army, which appeared here, did not expect that the Japanese would be unable to advance or retreat in the valley.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There are also shells shot from the stronghold, which continue to fall on the heads of devils.

Looking down from the mountain beam, the Japanese invaders were completely passively beaten.

Such a scene, even the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who have been on the battlefield for a long time, have never seen it.

"Company Commander Ma, what's going on?"

"We've conquered the Swallow Gang stronghold. Surrounded the devils. ”

"Huh? So powerful? ”

"Of course! And what about the battalion commander? ”

"In the back!"

"See the battalion commander?"

"Back!"

Ma Zhong shouted all the way.

The fighters, who were busy shooting, replied silently.

Zhang Chu passed by them. Each person is given a bag of bullets. A hundred rounds in total.

Most of the rifles they used were Mosin Nagant rifles.

There was also a part of the 79 rifles.

There were only three machine guns of the Czech type.

Water beads and Mauser's bullets are not the same.

But it doesn't matter. No matter what type of bullet, Zhang Chu has it.

Machine gun, directly to two boxes of ammunition. A total of three thousand rounds. Feel free to hit.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Gradually, the fire on one side of the mountain beam began to intensify.

With plenty of ammunition, the fighters were able to fire quite well with bolt-action rifles.

In this way, the Japanese invaders below the valley are even more tragic.

Cannonballs kept falling overhead. He also suffered heavy fire from a mountain beam on one side.

"Yaga!"

"Kill!"

"To the north!"

The captain of the Japanese army is flexible.

It was immediately discovered that the fire power of the mountain beam on the north side was relatively weak.

Zhang Chu walked on the mountain beam in the south. His ammunition could only be supplied to the Eighth Route Army in the south.

The Eighth Route Army in the north was beyond the reach of the whip. There is a valley in between. He can't fly.

However, all the Japanese who tried to climb the mountain beam to the north had to expose their backs to the Eighth Route Army on the mountain beam to the south.

Although the distance is comparatively far. However, with the range of the Mosin Nagant rifle, it is completely within reach.

Of course, the hit rate is very low, very low. Maybe a hundred bullets won't hit a single Japanese criminal.

But what does it matter?

Now there are bullets on the south side of the hill. You can play as much as you want.

"Battalion commander!"

"Battalion commander!"

Ma Zhong finally found Yang Chenggang.

Yang Chenggang stuck the barge gun in his waist and held a Mosin Nagant rifle to shoot.

Zhang Chu deliberately looked at it.

"Smack!"

A shot missed.

"Smack!"

The second shot missed.

Feel that this Yang battalion commander's marksmanship seems to be average?

"Battalion commander, Staff Officer Zhang is looking for you!"

"Zhang ......"

"Battalion Commander Yang. My name is Zhang Chu. He was a staff officer of the new 1st Regiment of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division. ”

"Zhang Chu ......"

Yang Chenggang is obviously unfamiliar with the name.

The 120th Division and the 129th Division are two different units, one in the northwest of Shanxi. One is in the southeast of Jin.

Even if it is at the level of the head of the regiment, others may not know. Not to mention a small staff officer. So I didn't care.

"Staff Officer Zhang, you are here ......"

"Oh, I'm going to hunt down the devil outside the plug. Passing by here. ”

"What's going on with the Swallow Gang stronghold?"

"Oh, I took it down."

"How many people did you bring?"

"Thirty."

"What do you say?"

Yang Chenggang thought he had misheard.

What do you mean?

Thirty?

Capture the devil's stronghold?

"I'll talk about that later. Battalion Commander Yang, how many people did you bring? ”

"More than three hundred and thirty."

"Including Ma Zhong?"

"Not included!"

"Good. I'll equip you with a batch of weapons and ammunition. ”

"What?"

"Fifty light machine guns. Thirty heavy machine guns. Twenty mortars. ”

"What?"

"Send someone to the stronghold to get it."

"Huh?"

Yang Chenggang felt a little confused.

What's going on?

looked at Ma Zhong suspiciously.

"What Staff Officer Zhang said is true."

"There are really a lot of weapons and ammunition ......"

Ma Zhong hurriedly explained.

Yang Chenggang still couldn't believe it.

Fifty light machine guns, thirty heavy machine guns, twenty mortars......

Even one of our brigades doesn't have so many weapons and equipment.

Especially mortars.

There may not be one in a group!

Zhang Chu stood up and looked around.

He needs to find a larger, flatter place to receive the airdrop.

Most of the ridges are very narrow. Only one barely passed.

Even if an airdrop box falls, it will roll down to the bottom.

It was not easy to find a vacant land with an area of about twenty or thirty square meters. Request an airdrop now.

"Bang!"

The airdrop package fell heavily.

Zhang Chu hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed it. I'm afraid it will fall off a cliff.

Thankfully not.

After stabilizing the airdrop package, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Unpack the package. Inside were fifty light machine guns. Soviet-made DP-28, commonly known as Big Plate Chicken.

Yang Chenggang's eyes suddenly sparkled.
