Chapter 784: The Decisive Battle of Taihang Mountain (6)

The cold wind is still howling, blowing on people's faces like knives cutting on their bodies, more than 500 soldiers are ready to go, Hu Guoshan looked at this group of old soldiers who followed him, they have experienced a hundred battles, and he has already followed Hu Guoshan when he was the head of the regiment.

"Brethren, we were born in this-up age, but we can't do the most-up plans!"

These soldiers are at least a platoon commander in the recruit corps, and now Hu Guoshan is taking them to do something that is basically impossible to complete, but they must do this thing, and they will not go down in history if they do it, but they can't do it, many of their soldiers will not survive these days, this is a gamble, and the bet is their lives and the future of Taihang Mountain.

"Let's go!"

With Hu Guoshan's order, the soldiers quietly left the position and disappeared into the vast night. It was not difficult for the warriors to march at night, they had already experienced this scene countless times, and the war had taught them many things that they should not have been.

With the arrival of night, the mouth of the Zhanghe River that had been blown up froze again, and the cold air flow made the boiling river quiet, Hu Guoshan and his troops certainly did not cross the river from the place where the Japanese attacked, after all, there were still Japanese troops lying on their stomachs, and the Japanese troops on the opposite bank must have set up sentry posts along the river.

In the wilderness, there is silence, only the whirring wind is calling to the wilderness, and only the wind is howling in response to it.

After four or five hours of walking downstream along the Zhanghe River, the soldiers finally walked into a wood, and the sound of the wind in their ears became a little quieter.

"There is still half an hour left before the appointed time, let the brothers rest in place!" Hu Guoshan looked at his watch in the faint light and said to the battalion commander of the guard battalion.

The soldiers finally had time to huddle together to warm their frozen hands, and they felt happiest at this moment, for they felt warmer and more comfortable than a quarter of an hour before.

Hu Guoshan looked at the other side of the river with binoculars, he was waiting for the signal, and the battalion commander stationed at the mouth of the Zhanghe River arranged for personnel to cross the river to reconnoiter the enemy's intelligence, and they did not come back, but continued to observe the movements of the Japanese army on the other side of the river.

"There is a signal on the other side, the first company will go to the joint first, I will be the last to pass with the second company, and Battalion Commander Hua, you will take the third company and the second one!"

Although there was a signal, Hu Guoshan was not sure what was on the other side of the river, and he had to be careful, because it was their lives that would be lost if they were not careful.

The troops successfully crossed the Zhanghe River and made contact with the fighters lurking on the other side of the Zhanghe.

"Division commander, I am a soldier of the third battalion and ninth company of the new seventh regiment!" The soldiers saluted Hu Guoshan.

"How's it going over here?" After Hu Guoshan returned the salute, he asked about the situation of the Japanese army here.

"We still have a squad of soldiers watching the movements of the Japanese army, but they are very well guarded, and it is difficult for us to attack!"

Strict precautions were something Hu Guoshan had already expected. But Hu Guoshan didn't believe that the Japanese army was very strict about guarding everywhere, after all, so many people were encamped, the so-called hundred secrets were sparse, the little devil was not a fairy, he could do everything, and he would definitely be able to find the weak point of the Japanese army.

"Can you start talking about it, first mark the Japanese artillery position, the headquarters, and the place where ammunition is hoarded!"

Hu Guoshan had already thought that if he wanted to hold back the Japanese army, he had to strike at the fatal point of the Japanese army, otherwise they would run away in vain this time, sorry for themselves, and even more sorry for the New Year's gift of the little devil.

The soldier drew a simple sketch on the ground, and then placed a few stones and branches, and simply marked the deployment and important positions of the Japanese army.

"What about the artillery positions of the Japanese army?" Hu Guoshan asked.

"The artillery positions of the Japanese army were not located around their camp, but in a nearby village!" The soldier replied.

"That's right! It was a village, they slaughtered the village, and then set up artillery emplacements in the courtyards of the common people, with two cannons in each yard! There is only one Japanese squadron around to protect the artillery position, but they have a wall as a cover, and it may be difficult to storm it, and the Japanese reinforcements will only be able to support and arrive in ten minutes, if we don't do it quietly, we will be entangled by the Japanese army! ”

Hu Guoshan knew very well that this mission was not simple, everyone knew that this was going deep into the tiger's den, and if they were not careful, they would confess to the other side of the river, but they had no choice. Just like these soldiers, they also want to farm and do some small business at home, and when the little devils come, they have no choice but to pick up guns and do things that fight for their lives.

"It's not something you're worried about, when the battle is over, return to the team in time, and leave the matter to us!" Of course, Hu Guoshan will not give up because things are difficult to do, this is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and if he does not fight for his life, more people will die because of it.

After thinking for a while, Hu Guoshan had his own ideas, he decided to attack the Japanese artillery positions first, although the Japanese army had strong fortifications and walls as cover, but he believed that the Japanese army over there was also the most relaxed, after all, the artillery guys were heavier than the infantry, and after a day, the artillery would definitely have to take a good rest and leave the night to the infantry.

As long as one squadron of Japanese infantry is dealt with, the remaining artillery combat effectiveness is not to be feared.

Half an hour later, the battalion commander of the guard battalion returned to Hu Guoshan's side with two soldiers and told Hu Guoshan in detail about the reconnaissance.

"You take a company to the north of the village and shoot to divert the Japanese infantry, and when you lead it to the river, you will withdraw, and then go around to the south of the village to meet us!"

They had to divert a squadron of Japanese troops before they could attack the Japanese artillery positions, and lead the Japanese troops as far away as possible, so that the Japanese reinforcements would definitely follow the gunfire, leaving enough time for Hu Guoshan to deal with the remaining Japanese artillery.

"Da Da Da"

Dense gunfire rang out in the north of the village, but the guns were fired at the sky, without any target.

The little devils who were still sleeping were awakened, and even the little devils in the Japanese camp in the distance put on their clothes and got up with their guns in their arms to wait for the officers to assemble.

"Bell bell bell, bell bell bell ......"

The artillery headquarters in the village rang a hurried telephone ring, it was the Japanese commander who called to inquire about the situation, and the Japanese artillery commander had not yet gotten up and answered the call with his bare ass.

"Hey! Hi! Hi! ”

The commander of the Japanese artillery, of course, did not know who fired the shot outside the village, and his superiors ordered him to find out what was going on at once.

A squadron defending the Japanese artillery position had already rushed out with guns in its arms, looking for the exact source of the gunfire, leaving only about two dozen people responsible for the security around the village. However, how can more than 20 people in a huge village be able to see it.

The dark shadow in the south of the village was longing, and Hu Guoshan quietly approached the wall of the village with the remaining brothers.

"One squad and one yard, complete the task and quickly attack the next yard, after completing the task, we will gather in the south of the village!" Hu Guoshan asked the company commander to pass on the order.

After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately dispersed, and the soldiers of a squad covered each other and directly attacked the Japanese troops in the courtyard with *.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom"

The Japanese soldiers, who were still in a daze, were stunned by *, but they still couldn't forget to get their weapons, but it was too late, and the soldiers of the guard battalion had already rushed into the house with *.

"Da Da Da"

The two * launched indiscriminate strafing into the room, and the Japanese army did not have time to return fire at all, and was directly beaten into a sieve.

"You two stayed and blew up the Japanese artillery, and the others followed me and attacked the next yard!"

After capturing one yard, the squad leader immediately arranged a task to take people to attack the next yard.

However, the Japanese artillery had already heard the explosions and gunfire, and they were ready to defend themselves in the courtyard at this time. However, the soldiers of the guard battalion did not attack from the courtyard gate at all, but threw a *, and then entered over the wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.

The shock wave from the explosion quickly washed away the indigenous houses into ruins, and the dust was everywhere, and the whole village was filled with gunfire and explosions, and it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and their own people. At this time, the only way to charge hard, regardless of whether you are your own people or the enemy, must rush forward bravely, because only in this way can you survive.

Not far from the village, the soldiers of a squadron of Japanese troops heard violent explosions and dense gunfire behind them, and knew that they had been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain, and immediately turned back to rescue the artillery in the village.

How could Battalion Commander Hua just let the little devils go back, although they did not lead the Japanese army to the river, but their purpose was to drag the Japanese army.

"One row on the left flank, two rows on the right flank, and three rows on the right flank!" Battalion Commander Hua knew that he couldn't let the Japanese army go back no matter what, otherwise Hu Guoshan and the others would be trapped by the Japanese army, and everything would be over.

"Da Da Da"

The Japanese squadron leader wanted to go back to the rescue, but he was completely dragged by the battalion commander Hua, and he especially wanted to annihilate the battalion commander Hua, but he sent troops to outflank them from both wings, but they were all beaten back by the Chinese troops on both wings, and both sides had losses, and no one could eat the other.

When the Japanese commander heard the gunfire and explosions, he knew that their artillery positions were under attack by the Chinese and immediately arranged for a large group of troops to support the artillery positions.

"The division commander, the division commander, and the second company commander reported that the Japanese reinforcements were coming, and he had already arranged a platoon of soldiers to harass the Japanese reinforcements!" A soldier braved artillery fire to report to Hu Guoshan.

Hu Guoshan glanced at the situation outside: "Notify all the troops, and retreat immediately after receiving the order!" Meet in the south of the village! ”
