In the early morning, the east revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the main peak of Wangwu Mountain was pierced by the rising sun's rays, and the gray sky was covered with a layer of golden light.

Just as the sun rose and a new day was about to begin, more than a dozen large birds appeared from the eastern sky and were rapidly entering the Wangwushan Mountain Range.

When the commander of the 81st Division, He discovered that 12 Japanese fighters flying from the direction of Yuncheng appeared in the east, and under the light of the sun that had just appeared in the east, these 12 fighters were wearing a silver glow and were roaring towards the sky over Huling.

Division Commander He immediately realized that this was the Japanese army's aerial bombardment of the 81st Division's front in Huling, and then the Japanese ground troops would definitely launch the most frantic attack under the cover of aircraft.

He ordered the troops to immediately stop building fortifications and quickly enter the air defense concealment, so as to avoid heavy casualties caused by the indiscriminate bombardment of the positions by Japanese aircraft.

The 12 Japanese bombers roared into the sky over Wangwu Mountain, began aerial reconnaissance at the target designated by the Suzuki Division on the ground, and immediately launched a dive when they discovered that the 81st Division was deployed in the Huling position.

When the first flight crew swooped over the position, locked onto the target and dropped bombs one after another, followed by three groups of fighters one after another, after a brief whistling sound, there was an overwhelming sound of bombs landing and exploding.

Stones, mud, and shrapnel were suddenly lifted up in the Huling position, carrying human stumps and flying in the air, and the sound of explosions, curses, crazy insults, and the moans and wails of wounded soldiers were endless.

It seemed that the whole world was left with two monotonous colors for a while, and the gray brown that hung over the Tiger Ridge was a hazy gunsmoke and flames, mixed with a dazzling red that could still distinguish flesh and blood.

In the first dive bombing, the Japanese bomber group completely destroyed the hastily constructed fortifications of the 81st Division, and the officers and men on the positions suffered heavy casualties under the fire of the indiscriminate bombardment of aerial fighters.

The 12 Japanese fighters bombed the Huling position incessantly, and the continuous bombardment tore the defensive position of the 81st Division to a thousand holes, and the position was covered with gunpowder smoke and flames, and the position was shrouded in darkness by the mixed explosives that were constantly rising.

The commander of the Suzuki Division received a report from the Japanese commander in the air that he would return home immediately after completing the air fire strike mission, and immediately ordered 50 tanks of the armored wing to launch a frenzied ground artillery attack on the Huling position of the 81st Division.

The officers and men of the 81st Division, who had not yet recovered from the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese army's wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, not only shook their heads in astonishment and were at a loss when they saw that the Japanese army had dispatched a large number of tanks under black pressure to crush the position and keep launching artillery strikes.

The Japanese army not only dispatched a large number of tanks to the frontal battlefield to attack, but also used artillery, mortars, and grenadiers of large and small calibers to carry out indiscriminate and cruel artillery bombardment of the Huling position.

At this time, he was ordered to lead the cheetah commando, rushed to the thundercloud peak of the Wangwu Mountain defense line before dawn, stood at the foot of the fable Wangwu Mountain, looked up at the rolling mountains, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The fable of Wangwu Mountain, I don't know how many people have been influenced, I really want to go up and stand on the main peak to see the small mountains, and appreciate the whole picture of Wangwu Mountain." ”

Fang Shichao asked puzzledly: "Boss, is our main task in coming to Wangwushan this time to be a field liaison officer for the 81st Division and the 17th Division?" That's too big a lot of material, isn't it? Why don't we also participate in the specific battle and let them see ....... ”

"Hahaha, what do you see? You won't let people see that you are average-looking, short, and chubby like a little devil, right? ”

"Li Guiyong, you bastard dare to bury me like this, if you talk such nonsense again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart."

Lei Yunfeng was very happy to hear the two of them laughing, not only said seriously: "We can relax ourselves now and revel in this Wangwu Mountain, once the battle of Xiyang River starts, I am afraid it will be very tragic, I don't know how many loyal bones of anti-Japanese martyrs will be buried here, each of us must be prepared to be willing to shed blood horse leather shroud." ”

"Boss, do you already have a premonition that the battle of Xiyang River will be very tragic? Didn't our friendly forces already set up defensive positions here in advance? Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the 17th and 81st divisions could not stop the Japanese attack? ”

Li Guiyong listened to what Lei Yunfeng said tragically, and couldn't help frowning in surprise and asked.

"It's not my hunch, but the Suzuki Division that attacked our army's position in Wangwushan this time, gathered more than 20,000 elite troops of a division and infantry cavalry special forces, and its purpose was to break through our Wangwushan defense line and attempt to occupy Yongji and Fenglingdu Pass."

Lei Yunfeng looked at everyone and continued: "And the strength of my 17th and 81st divisions is less than 20,000, although the officers and soldiers of these two divisions fought bravely, but their weapons and equipment and logistics supplies are far behind the Japanese army.

If I want to fight the elite of the Japanese army with such two divisions, I want the 81st Division, which is stuck to the Huling defense line, to carry out frantic bombing by the enemy's aerial planes and uninterrupted heavy fire from the ground tank artillery, and the 81st Division will hold its position for three hours at most, and then the Japanese will break through the defense line and withdraw from the battle. ”

"Huh? Boss, are you stupid by the little devils, the 81st Division is a large army of nearly 10,000 people, and it will not be able to hold out for even three hours under the enemy's attack, I think you are growing the enemy's morale and destroying your own prestige."

Fang Shichao heard Li Guiyong ask Lei Yunfeng like this, and couldn't help but stare at Lei Yunfeng in horror and asked, "Boss, what you said is true?" No matter how cowardly the 81st Division is, it should not be able to hold out for even three hours, and it will be beaten to abandon its position and flee, which is too frightening. ”

Su Xiaoyan doesn't look like a female soldier, but she is often influenced by her father as a soldier, and she also knows a little about the combat strength of various units of the National Revolutionary Army, she stared at Lei Yunfeng with a pair of surprised eyes and said:

"Boss, I heard that the combat effectiveness of the 81st Division is still very powerful, and the achievements in other battlefields have surpassed many descendants of the Central National Revolutionary Army, why would you say such a thing?"

"Don't fight over this topic, you can wait four or five hours at most to see if what I say is true or false."

As Lei Yunfeng was talking, he suddenly looked up in the direction of Yuncheng, and said with a nervous face: "The Japanese army sent reinforcements from Yuncheng to reinforce the Suzuki Division to attack the defense line of Wangwushan, and the aerial bombers will fly over Wangwushan in less than 20 minutes. ”

At this time, Wang Shoucheng, the former reconnaissance platoon commander who was already the deputy captain of the Cheetah commando team, heard Lei Yunfeng say that the Japanese fighters would fly over Wangwu Mountain in less than 20 minutes, and not only asked in surprise: "Boss, what kind of ears are you, why haven't we heard anything?" I'm cowardly, don't scare your brothers. ”

Lei Yunfeng ignored Wang Shoucheng's question, looked at Fang Shichao and Su Xiaoyan, who were listening carefully, and asked, "Did you two hear the faint roar of the plane?" ”

"No, Ah Yan and I don't have as good hearing as you, we should wait a little longer to hear."

"Don't wait here any longer to hear the roar of the Japanese fighters, and immediately follow me to the headquarters of our 17th Division stationed in the closed defense line, I think we will soon receive the most dangerous and arduous task."

Lei Yunfeng said and jumped on the war horse, shook the reins and raised the whip to urge the horse to gallop all the way, and arrived at the headquarters of the 17th Division in less than 15 minutes.
