Just when the artillery of the special service regiment was fighting with the little devil artillery, Ding Wei and Kong Jie had already taken the soldiers of their two regiments out of Ping'an County and rushed towards Shuiquan City.

When they came to the position three or four kilometers south of Shuiquan City, they hid in the woods to rest, quietly waiting for the night to come.

At this time, Ding Wei also ordered the radio station to turn on and sent his battle plan to Li Yunlong.

When Li Yunlong heard that they were going to attack at night, of course he also recognized it very much, and immediately called back for approval.

After getting his approval, Ding Wei naturally felt a lot more relaxed, and when he lay down under a big tree, he dozed off.

However, before he could squint for ten minutes, he heard the loud sound of cannon coming from the north.

A carp stiffened and jumped up from the ground, Ding Wei immediately asked Kong Jiedao, who was already standing in front with a vigilant face and listening carefully:

"Old Kong, where did the cannon sound come from?"

"It sounds like it's from the north, but I'm guessing it's the secret service group already in action."

"What?

Do they do it now?

More anxious than us?

Haven't you won the commanding heights of the east and west yet? ”

Ding Wei was a little surprised.

"Hmph, Yang Yuanshan's kid is more daring than Li Yunlong!

As long as he breaks the city, Li Yunlong will never scold him, and even invite him to drink! ”

Kong Jie had an expression of "I know Yang Yuanshan and Li Yunlong best".

"Good guy, the soldiers brought out by Li Yunlong are all as virtuous as him!"

Ding Wei was amazed.

"Lao Ding, do we want to do it directly and enter Shuiquan City?

I'm afraid we'll be too late, and there's nothing left! ”

Kong Jie was a little anxious.

He took a big puff of his cigarette stick, which had been broken in two and now tied up with rags.

Smoke came out of the cracks in the broken pipes, and his eyes made him want to cry.

"No, if you do it now, the casualties of the soldiers will be very large.

Wait!

Now it is estimated that there are less than 3 hours before dark, and Lao Tzu does not believe that Yang Yuanshan can break Shuiquan City in such a short period of time! ”

Ding Wei said viciously.

Obviously, his mood was not as calm as he appeared.

"Alas, well!

It's scary to complete the mission with this kid!

It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the task, but I'm afraid that I don't have a task to complete at all. ”

Kong Jie complained frantically.

"Hahaha, yes, yes!

After the battle, Lao Tzu has to find Yang Yuanshan and ask him to compensate Lao Tzu! ”

Obviously, Ding Wei is worried about Yang Yuanshan's weapons and equipment again.

……

Magnolia Temple.

Li Yunlong and the others were in the temporary headquarters, discussing the map in a gossiping manner.

At this time, they suddenly heard the sound of a huge cannon coming from the east.

Everyone's faces changed, and Zhao Gang exclaimed:

"Where's the gunfire?

Could it be the heavy artillery of the little devils? ”

Li Yunlong immediately ordered:

"Send a report and ask Yang Yuanshan, is there something going on this dog's day?"

However, before his order could be carried out, a telegraph operator stood up and reported:

"Report to the commander, the special task force reported the enemy situation, saying that their scouts learned in Shuiquan City that the total strength of the little devils has 5 infantry brigades, and there are only four in Shuiquan City at present, and the others are scattered outside Shuiquan City.

And just now the independent regiment attacked Hutou Mountain, and the little devil has already sent a brigade out of the city to support.

In addition, they had an artillery squadron, armed with 6 75-mm mountain guns.

However, the head of the special service group Yang said that we don't have to worry about the little devil mountain artillery, they will solve it. ”

"Good guy, it seems that this kid really made a move!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and asked the telegraph operator to sit down and continue his work.

Zhang Dabiao said:

"Commander, this must be a salvo of 100mm howitzers from the Special Service Regiment, and I don't know if they have killed the six mountain guns of the little devils."

"Hmph, you still don't know Yang Yuanshan?

When did that kid do things, when did people feel uneasy?

The little devil only has 6 cannons, and it is estimated that if he divides five by two, he can be knocked out by that kid. ”

Li Yunlong is full of confidence in Yang Yuanshan.

"What?

100mm howitzer?

How did you get it?

Isn't this even more powerful than the headquarters artillery regiment?

The headquarters artillery regiment also has only 12 75mm mountain guns, right? ”

Liu Zhongwei was shocked.

When he met the secret service group on the road earlier, his attention was all drawn to those four tanks, and he really didn't notice that their guns were so large!

His shock, Li Yunlong did not pay attention to it, but resolutely ordered:

"Send a report to ask Shen Quan, how long will it take for him to take Hutou Mountain, if he can't take it down in an hour, Lao Tzu will be replaced!

Don't fucking wait for Yang Yuanshan to enter Shuiquan City, his Hutou Mountain hasn't been taken down yet!

Lao Tzu has no time to waste on him! ”

"Yes!"

Xing Zhiguo's heart sank, and he answered the order loudly.

……

At the Hutou Mountain position, Shen Quan, commander of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment, commanded on a hillside with gunpowder on his face.

On the top of the three hills ahead, the little devil built three pillboxes along the mountain, and a Type 92 infantry gun and two heavy machine guns were erected on each pillbox, and they were firing wildly at the soldiers of the second battalion charging towards the mountain.

The other four or five bunkers had just been taken down by them, and now there were only the last three left.

It's also the most difficult.

At this time, two soldiers from the guard post came running to report:

"Battalion commander, a brigade of little devils came out from the direction of Shuiquan, and they are rushing towards Hutou Mountain."

"In the direction of Shuiquan Coal Mine, hundreds of people also came out!"

Hearing these two unfavorable news, Shen Quan frowned, and immediately ordered the third and fourth companies that he had left as reserves to stop these two little devils.

Buy time for the 1st and 2nd companies that are attacking.

At this time, however, another telegraph operator came running and reported:

"Battalion commander, the commander asked Ling, how long will it take to take Hutou Mountain, if you can't take it in an hour, he will be replaced!"

"What?

An hour? ”

Shen Quan's face was very ugly, he knew that with Li Yunlong's character, if it wasn't for a hundred thousand urgent, it would be impossible to give him such an order.

Behind this order, there are a few words that he didn't utter - at any cost - everything!

Taking a deep breath, Shen Quan gritted his teeth and said to the telegrapher:

"Call back to the commander immediately, my second battalion, and guarantee to take Hutou Mountain in half an hour!

In addition, the little devils have sent reinforcements from the direction of Shuiquan City and Shuiquan Coal Mine, and together, there are more than 1,500 people, please ask the commander to send reinforcements! ”

"Yes!"

sent away the telegraph operator, and he immediately called Niu Lisheng, the commander of the fourth company:

"Da Niu, now that the little devil has sent two groups of reinforcements to reinforce the little devil in Hutou Mountain, I want you to take the fourth company to stop them for half an hour, can you complete the task?"

"Battalion commander, how many little devil reinforcements are there?"

Niu Li is tall and looks very honest, but only those who are familiar with him know that he is not as stupid as he looks.

"A brigade came from the direction of Shuiquan City, and hundreds of people came from the direction of Shuiquan Coal Mine!"

Shen Quan said, feeling a little sorry for Niu Lisheng.

His fourth company is less than 300 people!

Now he has to block several times the enemy, and the difficulty of this task is simply breaking through the sky!

However, when Niu Lisheng heard the number of enemies, although he frowned, he did not flinch, but pleaded:

"Battalion commander, it's okay to complete the mission, but I want an 81mm mortar to use against the little devil's machine gun fire point."

"Good!

I'll send you an artillery squad with a cannon! ”

Shen Quan nodded and agreed.

"Then it's no problem, make sure to stop the little devil for at least an hour!"

The cow patted his chest vigorously and reassured.

"It won't take an hour, once we take the commanding heights of Hutou Mountain, I will order artillery and heavy machine guns to support you."

Shen Quan gave him a reassuring pill.

"Yes!"

Niu Dali took the order, and then immediately went to arrange.

And Shen Quan didn't stop, turned around and ran to the position of the first artillery battalion, looking for Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the first artillery battalion:

"Pillar, the commander ordered me to take Hutou Mountain in half an hour, and later I will lead our battalion to launch a final charge, your artillery, you must fire with all your strength!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded:

"No problem, the commander said, let us run out of shells, you can rest assured."

"No, I mean even if you blow up the people of my second battalion, don't stop the artillery fire!

I'm going to take Hutou Mountain as fast as I can! ”

Shen Quan's gums bit out blood.

He knew what this requirement meant for his second battalion!

But he made the decision firmly.

When Wang Chengzhu heard this, he was naturally very surprised, and hurriedly said:

"Old Shen, are you going to play with your life?

Not necessarily, right?

Aren't there only three bunkers left?

With our current offensive, we will definitely be able to take it before dark. ”

"No, I have to take it in half an hour!"

Shen Quan said viciously.

Then he turned around and walked away.

……

Returning to his position, Shen Quan said to the deputy battalion commander Sun Bin:

"Lao Sun, I will take the third company to do the final charge later, and you command the artillery company and heavy machine gun to cover us, don't spare shells and bullets, understand?"

The little devil reinforcements and Li Yunlong's orders arrived almost at the same time, and the grim situation made him decide to put all the chips on it.

"Battalion commander, why don't I take the third company to rush?

You stay in command. ”

Sun Bin hurriedly dissuaded.

"No, I, the battalion commander, can't let my comrades sacrifice and hide behind myself.

Time is pressing, and the order is executed immediately. ”

"Yes!"

The decision was made, and Shen Quan took the soldiers of the second battalion and the third company and shouted:

"Comrades, come with me!"

Then he pounced like a hungry wolf towards the three pillboxes on the hill in front of him.

At all costs, regardless of any casualties!

The trumpeter also sounded the rousing trumpet, and for a while, there was a loud shout of killing on the battlefield.

"The little devil raised by the son of a bitch, take your life!"

"Holy shit, I'm here to avenge my father!"

"Little devil, your time of death has come!"

……

With their actions, Wang Chengzhu commanded the artillery of the first battalion of artillery and frantically helped them open the way in front.

Even if many shrennel accidentally injured the fighters of the second battalion, they did not hesitate.

And the artillery company and heavy machine guns of the second battalion commanded by Sun Bin also fired wildly, suppressing the defenders on the little devil's bunker to the point that they couldn't raise their heads at all.

……

The little devil squadron leader on the top of Hutou Mountain, Captain Nishijima Hanpei, saw that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were playing with their lives, and also shouted frantically:

"Hurry up, fire!

Dirt Eight Road rushed up. ”

A squad leader next to him held his head to dodge the shrapnel flying everywhere and shouted to him:

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the artillery fire on the Tuba Road is too fierce, and the warriors can't take the lead at all!"

"Yaga!

Hold on!

Your Excellency the Brigade Commander has sent reinforcements to support us! ”

Nishijima Hanhei roared.

At this moment, one of the observers shouted in surprise:

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, in the direction of the coal mine, our reinforcements are here!"

"Nani?

Great, tell the Warriors the good news! ”

The West Island is half flat and jumps three feet high.

However, at this moment, an 11-pound mountain artillery shell flew and happened to smash in front of them-

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, Nishijima Banping and the area around him within a radius of more than ten meters were swept away, blood was spilled, and stumps and broken arms flew wildly......

With the soldiers of the third company, Shen Quan, who was charging wildly, noticed the situation here, and immediately shouted excitedly:

"Comrades, rush with me!

The little devil is finished! ”

……

After more than 20 minutes, the soldiers of the second battalion finally occupied all the pillboxes on Hutou Mountain.

Of course, they also paid an extremely heavy price, and the entire battalion suffered at least a third of the casualties!

Even Shen Quan himself was grazed through his abdomen by a piece of shrapnel, almost disemboweling him.

However, they did not have time to lament the casualties of their comrades, because at this time, the two reinforcements from Shuiquan City and Shuiquan Coal Mine had already arrived!

A more severe test has arrived!
