"But how easy is it to directly attack the Turtle Mountain Fortress?" Stilwell said, "The northern foothills are steep and narrow, and it is difficult to deploy troops, and it would be good if there was naval support in the eastern foothills, but unfortunately the Japanese navy was blocked in Madang at this time, and it was impossible to reach Wuhan in a short time. ”

Zhong Yi smiled and shook his head: "But Fujita Jin probably won't think so." ”

"Why?" Stilwell has the posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

"There's no why." Sun Liren suddenly said, "The little devil has already made a choice!" ”

"Huh?" Stilwell looked up anxiously when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw that the dense Japanese infantry began to roll forward, crushing towards the northern foot of Turtle Mountain.

At that moment, Stilwell said: "The Japanese army really plans to attack Turtle Mountain, and choose the northern foothills?!" ”

Zhong Yi said hesitantly: "It seems that this Fujita is really as upright as the legend, hey! ”

Sun Liren nodded and said: "Ziren, then I'll go to the north first, although the terrain in the north is dangerous, but I only have an infantry battalion there, I'm worried that something will go wrong!" ”

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Go ahead!" ”

……

At the northern foot of Guishan, the 1st Battalion of the 112th Regiment of the Anti-Smuggling Corps defended the position.

The whole turtle mountain is in a north-south direction, looking like a giant turtle lying on its stomach at the mouth of the three rivers, the north foot is at the tail of this giant turtle, the mountain is steep, and narrow!

After surveying the terrain at the northern foot of Guishan on the spot, Zhang Yuandong designed three lines of defense.

The first line of defense is at the foot of the northern foot of Turtle Mountain, which is a trench that semi-surrounds Turtle Mountain, and in the middle of the trench is also mixed with heavy machine gun fortifications reinforced with concrete, and there are tunnels to communicate with the mountainside and the top of the mountain, and when necessary, reinforcements from the top of the mountain and the mountainside can go down the mountain from the tunnel to reinforce!

The second line of defense is located on the mountainside at the northern foot of Turtle Mountain, and this line of defense is composed of four pillboxes, which are supported by each other, and there are tunnels connecting with the semi-circular trenches at the foot of the mountain and the main fort at the top of the mountain.

The third line of defense is located at the top of the northern foot of Turtle Mountain, and it is an extremely strong five-story blockhouse! Three of the five-story bunkers are hidden underground, and two are exposed to the surface, with tunnels leading to the main fort under the main peak of Guishan, as well as military facilities such as hospitals, dormitories, command posts, and ammunition depots.

The first line of defense at the foot of the mountain was the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 112th Regiment of the Anti-Smuggling Corps.

Looking at the slowly approaching devils in the wilderness ahead, Liu Lao Tamming was inevitably a little nervous, because he was still a rookie!

After Sun Liren was ordered to rebuild the anti-smuggling corps, he absorbed more than 5,000 veterans from the former tax police corps, and also supplemented some veterans from other units, but many new recruits were also added.

Liu Laotam was the anti-smuggling corps that he participated in at this time.

Although he has been trained as a recruit for three months, all kinds of military skills have been almost honed, and even the instructors praise him for his talent and say that he will definitely become an excellent sniper in the future.

But a recruit is a recruit after all, looking at the little devil approaching in the wilderness in front of him, Liu Lao Tam was so nervous that he was about to lose his breath.

At this moment, a powerful big hand put on Liu Laotam's shoulder.

A little indifferently turned around, and Liu Lao Tam saw that he didn't know when, the platoon commander Hu San was already standing beside him.

"Don't be nervous." Hu San smiled slightly and said, "The little devil is actually a human being, and he also carries a head on his shoulders, if you shoot him, they will die too!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Laotam nodded a little blankly, but in fact, he didn't listen to anything at all.

Hu San didn't say anything more, he was also from a recruit, he knew that it was superfluous to say anything at this time, and when this battle was over, as long as Liu Laotam could survive, he would understand everything.

Soon, the devils had already entered within two kilometers and began to build a sortie position.

Then, a thin cloud of smoke rose from the horizon in the distance, and then a short, piercing scream rang out from the sky, and the devils began to shell!

"Anti-artillery, the devil is shelling!" Hu San immediately roared hoarsely.

While roaring, Hu San quickly rushed to an anti-artillery hole not far away, then stopped after running for less than two steps, and then looked back, and sure enough, he saw that Liu Lao Tam was still in place like a wood.

Hu San hurriedly turned back again, grabbed Liu Lao Tam and ran forward.

Running to the anti-artillery hole, Hu San first pushed Liu Laotam hard, and then bent down to get in.

Almost as soon as Hu San got in, the devil's cannonballs fell overwhelmingly, and immediately after, clouds of smoke rose from the foot of the northern foot of Turtle Mountain!

"Boom!" A shell landed outside the trench and exploded violently, setting off a large amount of hot sand and splattering all over the sky.

"Boom!" A shell fell directly in the trench, and the air wave generated by the explosion instantly collapsed the solid trench seven or eight meters long, and the fragments of cement and sand and gravel were like bullets, firing in all directions in the trench, one of which was even pressed against the tip of Hu San's nose, and almost, the tip of Hu San's nose was not protected!

In the continuous violent explosion, another shell fell into the annular trench, and landed right in front of an anti-artillery hole, and a large number of fragments from the explosion instantly shot the two veterans of the national army hiding in the anti-artillery hole into a sieve, but before being shot into a sieve, the two had already been shocked to death by the air wave generated by the explosion.

Therefore, the veterans of the two national armies did not feel any pain before they died.

The shelling of the devils lasted a full half an hour, throwing almost two thousand shells!

Half an hour later, the devils began to shoot extended the depth of the Turtle Mountain position, and the screams of shells and explosions gradually faded away, and the veterans of the 1st Company came out of the anti-artillery holes one after another.

Liu Lao Tam also followed behind Hu San's buttocks, and the wooden brain crawled out.

Seeing Hu San skillfully lying down in front of the trench, Liu Lao Tam also fell down.

Soon, the smoke and dust that filled the position began to slowly dissipate.

Then Liu Laotam's pupils shrank suddenly, because he saw that less than a thousand meters ahead, at least a hundred devils had already pulled away from the sparse skirmish line and swooped towards their position.

Except for a few devil officers holding sabers, the vast majority of devil soldiers were holding good bayonets, and under the light of the setting sun, the bayonets reflected a cold light, which made people dizzy.

Liu Lao Tam was so dizzy that he couldn't even concentrate!

Then, Liu Lao Tam found that his legs began to tremble uncontrollably slightly, and at the same time, an indescribable fear also rose from the depths of his heart!

PS: With this chapter, I would like to pay tribute to the deceased Anti-Japanese War veteran Song Laotam!
