Chapter 421: Ready to Move

The little devils who rushed to the front were suddenly stabbed in the heart by the Chinese soldiers with bayonets, and the soldiers guarding the cliff scuffled with the little devils in the bunker, fortunately, the number of little devils who rushed up the cliff in the first wave was not large. Bayi Chinese?? Net? ≤.

But the soldiers guarding the cliff are also struggling to support, several soldiers have used grenades to die with the little devils, the reinforcements have not arrived, and the soldiers around the company commander are getting fewer and fewer, and finally the soldiers guarding the cliff are only a dozen fighters, surrounded by more than 30 little devils.

The follow-up troops of the little devils began to climb the cliff continuously, but no little devil dared to be the first to rush at these dozen soldiers with guns, and the scene of the Chinese soldiers dying with them with grenades just now shocked them, and made the Japanese army even more afraid, which made them dare not make a final attack on the dozen people.

Gangmura Ningji has been observing the battle in the direction of the cliff from the telescope, the troops in front are just the bait to attract the squadron, his main attack direction is the cliff, the two brigades of Japanese troops are already ready not far from the cliff, as long as the vanguard troops hold on to the top of the cliff to gain time, the strength of the two Japanese brigades will soon climb up from the top of the cliff.

"Order the artillery to settle the battle on the cliff at once, we can't waste time!" Gangcun Ningji said to the communication soldiers beside him.

"But Your Excellency, there are our soldiers above the cliff!" A staff officer hurriedly stepped forward to remind.

"Execute the order!" Gangcun Ningci coldly threw down four words.

Two shells went straight to the top of the cliff from the barrel of the cannon, and after the two explosions, more than a dozen soldiers and more than 30 little devils were gone, and a few seconds later there was a rain of blood in the sky, and there was minced meat everywhere above the cliff, and the little devils didn't seem to see all this, and occupied the fortifications of the squadron above the cliff.

The large force of the little devils began to climb to the top of the cliff in the 6th direction, but as soon as the soldiers of the Japanese squadron climbed the cliff, they ushered in the fierce artillery fire of the squadron.

It turned out that Liao Jundong showed the situation on this side of the cliff in the telescope, but when they adjusted the position and angle of the artillery, it was too late, and Liao Jundong clearly saw from the telescope that more than a dozen soldiers were buried under the artillery of the little devil.

Liao Jundong urged the soldiers to immediately adjust the angle of the artillery to cover the position in the direction of the cliff, and the little devil finally realized the feeling of being covered by artillery fire, and he didn't dare to show his head on the ground at all, but when the shell fell, it didn't matter if you were lying on your stomach or standing, as long as it hit directly, there would be no bones left in an instant.

The little devil who was climbing the cliff suddenly fell from mid-air, and it turned out that the rope they were climbing with was broken by artillery fire, and the little devil had to fall off the cliff and fall into a meat pie.

Gangmura Ningji obviously couldn't let go of the opportunity to get it, and kept urging the follow-up troops to continue to climb with ropes, he didn't believe that the artillery of the squadron would continue to fire.

The Japanese army did not want to die with the squadron ** in the fight for the cliff, Ma Wanzhong received the soldiers' request for help, immediately sent a battalion of soldiers to the cliff, under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers quickly recaptured the fortifications of the cliff, but the soldiers of the little devil then continued to use the cliff.

The battalion commander who came to support also brought ten flying thunder cannons and kept firing at the bottom of the cliff, and the little devils finally declared the attack failed after attacking for more than an hour, and hundreds of little devils died under the cliff, piled up with layers of corpses.

A battalion of soldiers held the cliff and began to repair the already dilapidated position.

The first line of defense was finally stabilized by the efforts of officers at all levels, and when the little devils learned that the attack in the direction of the cliff had failed, they were ready to retreat before the smoke cleared.

Although the Japanese did not capture any position this time, this attack caused a lot of casualties to the first regiment, and for the first time in more than 20 days, the casualties of the 33rd Independent Division were so huge.

Of course, Gangcun Ningji was not sure of giving the 33rd Independent Division a chance to buffer, and on many occasions under the cover of smoke bombs and artillery fire, it launched a fierce attack on the first line of defense, and under the cover of the artillery battalion, a regiment of soldiers struggled to support the position, and it was not until the sun set that it had a chance to breathe.

Liao Fan was pacing back and forth in the command headquarters, and he already knew about the battle in the forward position today, but Liao Fan didn't know that the front-line commander of Taihang Mountain had been replaced by Gangcun Ningci at this time.

"The little devil's attack today is not ordinary, if there are a few more battles like this, I'm afraid the first line of defense won't last long." Liao Fan said to Li Lingfei.

"There must have been some changes on the Japanese side, otherwise they wouldn't have adjusted their combat style so quickly, and this time the little devil's combat style is completely different from the past." Li Lingfei said.

"We've held out long enough in the first line of defense, it's time to retreat to the second line!" Liao Fan thought about it and decided to start withdrawing his troops.

"Yes, the second line of defense is relatively close to the firepower point of the third line of defense, and they can cooperate with each other!" Li Lingfei also agreed with Liao Fan's approach.

"Let the regiment hold out for another day, and first withdraw the reconnaissance battalion that has stopped correcting its name!" Liao Fan said, "Chu Pengtian arranged for the soldiers to tell Zhi Zhengming that he would start organizing a retreat after receiving the order, and that everyone must be withdrawn before tomorrow night." ”

Zhi Zhengming faced the little devils in the east, in fact, they only faced the puppet army, and the Japanese army did not attack once, but just hid behind and let the puppet army come forward to die, so the pressure they faced was not great at all.

Although Liao Fan didn't know what was going on inside the little devil, Liao Fan knew that the opponent he was facing now was definitely not ordinary, but they couldn't investigate what was going on inside the little devil at all, they were completely surrounded and couldn't contact the intelligence officer.

It was the special combat team that first learned that Gangcun Ningci had come to Taihang Mountain, because most of the soldiers of the special combat team were scattered in Shanxi, and a plane landed at the airport outside Taiyuan City, obviously unable to hide from the eyes of the special combat team, and the soldiers of the special combat team spent a day and a night finally figuring out that the plane had brought in an important Japanese officer.

After Huang Changsheng got the information, he didn't know who the person was on the plane, and after some detailed reconnaissance and inquiry, they determined that the Japanese officer who went to Shanxi was a greater rank than the supreme commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi, and Huang Changsheng judged that the person who came was the old devil of Gangcun Ningci.

The senior commander of the Japanese army in Taiyuan didn't expect that Huang Changsheng would guess the matter they had worked so hard to keep secret, otherwise the little devil would definitely search for Chinese agents throughout Taiyuan City.

Huang Changsheng, who guessed that the person was Gangcun Ningci, was not in a hurry to act, because Gangcun Ningci was no longer on the plane, and now no one knew where he was, even if the plane was blown up, he couldn't do anything about Gangcun Ningci.

Huang Changsheng frowned and thought hard about countermeasures, how to make Gangcun Ningci, an old devil, suffer a little.

Two days later, Hu Guoshan also got information, and thus also analyzed that Gangcun Ningci might have entered Taihang Mountain. Hu Guoshan, who learned this information, was glad that they did not act rashly, otherwise the thousands of soldiers of the three regiments would really be stuffed by the little devils.

But Hu Guoshan also regretted that Gangcun Ningci had wasted such a good opportunity to come to Taihang Mountain, if he could kill this old devil with one shot, maybe the entire Taihang Mountain would be peaceful.

Everything has passed, and it is useless for Hu Guoshan to regret it, and now he must accept the situation faced by their three regiments. The news that Scout 6 continued to send back made Hu Guoshan feel that his head was big, and the little devil not only restored the logistics supply stations in Shimen and Wangzhai, but also set up more than a dozen logistics supply stations in other places.

Of course, Hu Guoshan knew that these dozen places could not all be true, and it was precisely because they were not all true that Hu Guoshan did not dare to start. According to the ** array set up by Gangcun Ningci for the three regiments, Hu Guoshan knew very well in his heart that there must be a poisonous snake hidden in these ** arrays that could kill their three regiments, as long as they dared to sneak attack, this poisonous snake would emerge from a place they did not expect, and then bite the three regiments to death.

In the direction of Beitai Peak, Li Weimin still did not give the order for the troops to sneak attack the Japanese army, even on the night of heavy rain, there was only one reason, that is, the second regiment had not yet reached the moment of life and death, so Li Weimin did not want to do this kind of thing of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, the first regiment and the third regiment had a great cause and could bear this kind of loss, and their second regiment was not as strong as the first and third regiments, so Li Weimin could only make careful calculations.

More than 20 days have passed, the Japanese army in the direction of Beitaifeng has not taken a step forward, and has not even completed the encirclement of the second regiment.

Because Shanxi knows very well that the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines will never be wiped out, and there are still communist troops left, and there are still local armed forces after leaving the communist army. Moreover, this operation was led by Gangcun Ningci alone, and it was the credit of Gangcun Ningci alone that the victory was won, and Shanxi only fulfilled its due responsibility. Losing the battle is the responsibility of Gangcun Ningci alone, no matter what happens in Shanxi, they just cooperate with the action.

The most important point is that the Shanxi side has already experienced two fiascos in Taihang Mountain, and they know too well the combat effectiveness of the 33rd Independent Division in the mountains, so they just need to obediently cooperate with Gangcun Ningci, as long as you win, even if they don't go well in Beitai Peak, this battle means winning.

Li Weimin got the news from the intelligence officer in the county seat that Gangcun Ningci had entered the mountain, and this news was brought to him by Hu Guoshan. Li Weimin didn't know if this was good news or bad news, because at this time, Li Weimin had the same idea as Huang Changsheng and Hu Guoshan, as long as he killed Gangcun Ningci, he would win the battle if he didn't win.
