Chapter 296: Enter Xiaohua Mountain

The soldiers who participated in the raid bought a lot of time for the actions of the large army, some of them had already returned for 6 times, and some of them had never returned, but this time was not enough, because Xiaohuashan was still some distance away from them, and the vanguard troops had not arrived, let alone the large troops that were moving slowly. Δ┡E』『.

Under the organization of the warriors, wave after wave of warriors went to stop the little devils, they were all voluntary, and they all knew that there was little hope of surviving in this way, but they still did it without hesitation, without the order of the commander, without the warlord's team, they only had blood, they were the real warriors living in this land.

Yan Xuelin kept stopping to look at the soldiers who had used their lives to buy them time, these soldiers only left their young backs in the dark night, without names, and no one even knew what they looked like. Yan Xuelin believed that as long as he took this army out, the land under his feet would be recaptured sooner or later, so that these soldiers who died in battle would lie down on their own land again.

The sense of urgency was gradually contagious among the troops, because too many people had died for them, and if there had been an extra second of delay, many more people would have died, and the soldiers stopped talking and just ran forward.

The last trace of darkness before dawn was often the darkest time of the night, but Yan Xuelin breathed a sigh of relief, because he had already seen the outline of Xiaohua Mountain, they had arrived at their destination, and they outperformed the mechanized troops of the little devils. Even though the little devil tank rumbled behind him, the little devil's shouting of killing also came to his ears clearly.

"Rush!" Yan Xuelin shouted, and the soldiers in front and rear began to rush forward as if they had been stimulated. However, the wheels of the little devil are still much faster than the two legs of a person, and when the soldiers entered Xiaohua Mountain, they were bitten off by the little devil again a company of soldiers.

The sky suddenly brightened a lot, it was already dawn, and then the sun would come out step by step, but there were many people who could no longer see the sun.

"No one is allowed to rest until the fortifications are dug!" Yan Xuelin took more than 20 soldiers to patrol back and forth on the new position, and more than a dozen of these 20 were really from among the prisoners, and they were communication soldiers selected by Yan Xuelin himself, and he needed a lot of soldiers to help him deliver orders in such a large position.

The warriors who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth did not have time to rest and dig fortifications and bunkers for themselves on the hard rock, and everyone knew that the little devils would not let them go so easily.

The little devil did not rush to attack, and the commander of the little devil looked at the squadron digging fortifications on the hard rock with a telescope like a clown. Then he ordered his troops to surround all the exits of Xiaohua Mountain, at this time Xiaohua Mountain was completely ironclad in the eyes of the Japanese army, and it was difficult for the squadron to escape from Ascension even if it was winged.

The commander of the little devil glanced at his watch and said to the staff officer beside him: "Contact the aviation, carry out the first round of bombardment of the Chinese positions at half past seven, and tell the artillery that after the planes retreat, they will open fire." ”

There is still an hour before dawn, and during this time, the logistics and baggage troops of the little devil can arrive and arrange the artillery position, but the commander of the little devil does not plan to let the squadron idle in this battle, last night's escape must have exhausted them, and today can not let the squadron live comfortably.

Before dawn, both sides died down, but both sides were busy, the squadron was busy finding a way to survive, and the Japanese army was busy giving the squadron a fatal blow.

Inspecting this large area, Yan Xuelin spent a full hour, and he still hadn't found a command center for himself. Found a hidden place, Yan Xuelin leaned on a stone and closed his eyes, he didn't sleep, he was thinking about things.

"Dude, Captain Huang has already arranged it, and I will help you arrange the wounded soldiers after taking some time." Chu Pengtian came over, kicked Yan Xuelin, and then sat next to Yan Xuelin.

Yan Xuelin opened one eye and glanced at Chu Pengtian, then closed his eyes again: "There are no officers in the reserve team now, why don't you take them with you?" ”

"I don't bring troops, so many people, do you want to take them to death?" Chu Pengtian never thought of bringing so many people to fight, he couldn't fight himself, and he could only throw away the lives of these people in vain when he went to the battlefield, "Leave them for you to personally command, and use them when breaking through." ”

"Do we have many wounded?" Yan Xuelin once again brought the topic back to the wounded.

"Do you think there will be more wounded?" Chu Pengtian asked rhetorically, and before Yan Xuelin could answer, Chu Pengtian continued, "There is only one wounded in the real sense, Captain Huang, and the other wounded are all forced to march and faint due to physical exhaustion, as long as they rest for a while, they will be fine." ”

Yan Xuelin closed his eyes, he couldn't see clearly whether there was sadness on his face, most of the wounded couldn't be saved at all last night, in order to save the wounded, many soldiers took their lives, but not a single wounded person was saved.

"Dude, it's dawn!" Chu Pengtian raised his head and saw that the sky had faded to gray, and a faint blue appeared in his field of vision.

"yes, it's dawn!" Yan Xuelin also opened his eyes, "Take care of our captain for me." ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Xuelin got up and began to give orders to the soldiers beside him: "Tell everyone to pay attention to air defense and anti-artillery, the little devils are about to attack at dawn, and they won't give us much time to rest." ”

As soon as the order was given, Yan Xuelin heard the roar of the plane in the distance, the little Japanese plane was very arrogant on Chinese soil, so arrogant that they could fly close to the branches, so the roar of the plane was extremely loud, followed by the sound of falling shells.

"Lie down!" The soldiers on the battlefield shouted one after another, reminding the soldiers around them to lie down.

The sound of the "boom boom" explosion instantly drowned out the voice of the soldiers, and the position was plunged into a sea of fire, flying sand and stones everywhere, and the threat of the blown pebbles was no less than that of bullets, and in an instant many soldiers were injured, and the screams began to spread on the position.

However, the fortifications they had dug up with their tired bodies had done their job, and these bunkers had blocked the weak bodies of the warriors, and if they had been exposed to the clearing, they would have suffered more than half of their casualties.

The commander of the little devil looked at the fireballs and black smoke constantly rising from the enemy position from the binoculars, nodded with satisfaction, he believed that his army, after the bombardment, as long as they moved an attack, they could take the Chinese's position, which was a very easy thing, because in his eyes the **** team was a plate of scattered sand, not to mention a force improvised with prisoners.

"Since you don't want to be prisoners so much, then I will fulfill you, let you be corpses, and let the artillery prepare for bombardment!" The commander of the little devil ordered to his staff officers beside him.

"Your Excellency, our planes have not yet evacuated." The staff officer reminded.

The commander of the little devil didn't pay attention to the reminder of the staff officer, but just coldly ordered: "Execute the order!" ”

The field artillery shells of the "boom boom" little devils poured down on the position as if they did not want money, and some fortifications on the position were hit by shells, and in an instant they turned into craters and billowing smoke. No one on the position dared to raise their heads, the captives had all experienced the battle, and they all knew the three axes of the little devils, as long as they were shelled by the little devils, they would have a chance to fight with the little devils.

However, this time the shelling of the little devils seemed to have no end, once again turning the defensive position of the squadron from day to night, with billowing smoke everywhere, and the fortifications that had been built with great difficulty turned into bomb craters, and the entire Xiaohua Mountain became devastated and riddled with bullet marks.

After an hour, the shelling was finally over, and the fighters got up from the ground, not paying attention to the thick earth that had been piled up on their bodies, they did not receive the order, but as if they had received an order, they loaded their bullets and pressed their bodies against the trenches, and none of them were nervous.

The little devil did not plan to test the firepower, at the beginning the little devil tried his best, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the little devil began to attack forward, the distance of the armored car and tank car attack of the little devil is limited, Xiaohua Mountain is really a mountain after all, not a plain, if the armored car and tank forcibly attack, in this kind of mountainous area the mobility is fast to decline, and it is easy to be blown up.

The armored vehicles and tanks stopped when they sent the little devil's infantry to a distance of 200 meters from the front of the position, and they used their hard armor and strong firepower as pillboxes to provide fire cover for the infantry, but the little devil commander forgot one thing, that is, these captives ransacked the arsenal in Qi County.

The artillery made a big noise, this time it was not the artillery of the little devils, but the mortars on the Chinese positions, so many mortars composed of an artillery group, without precise strikes, could completely cover their targets. The tanks and armored vehicles that had just been stopped were, of course, a target for the artillery group.

The rain of shells falling from the sky was enough to smash the little devil even if it didn't make a sound, and the originally arrogant little devil armored vehicles and tanks instantly turned into scrap metal, and the little devil who followed behind was originally "majestic and high-spirited" and instantly turned into a bear.

The little devil commander who saw such spectacular firepower from the telescope felt a panache in his chest, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, the enemy's artillery was not weaker than their artillery fire at all. At this time, the commander of the little devil should really be glad that the other party was full of mortars, otherwise this round of shells would have been smashed on their heads when they had just set up camp.

"Order the artillery observers, measure the location of the enemy's artillery positions, and then notify the aviation to destroy them!"

The tricks of the little devil can't be worse anymore, and the positions are full of Chinese veterans, and they already know what the little devil is going to do next. These veterans know the tactics of the little devils very well, but the little devils only know a little about the command of the Chinese.
