Chapter 428: Occupy the Stone Gate

Liu Chundao commanded the troops to repel the little devil's charge again and again, at this time he had already taken the lead, holding his own gun, never getting out of the line of fire, and always sticking to the front-line position with the soldiers. The front of the position was densely packed with the corpses of little devils.

Today, Liu Chundao no longer knows how many times the Japanese army has launched a group charge against them, with the support of the important firepower points of the third line of defense and the artillery battalion, Liu Chundao led the soldiers to support hard, this day is the most violent one in the month of the little devil's attack on Taihang Mountain, the Japanese army completely disregarded the cost of casualties, not to mention the consumption of ammunition.

The endless bombardment of artillery shells, the endless charge of the infantry. The soldiers on the position seemed to have forgotten the time for a while, they only knew that only the wounded or dead could be carried off the position, they did not have time to eat lunch, and the soldiers did not know how many bullets were knocked out of their hands and how many Japanese soldiers were killed.

Sun Boyong constantly urged the logistics personnel to transport ammunition to various positions and carry the wounded to the hospital, and finally Sun Boyong personally participated in this team.

The shells bombarded the dust, the smoke and dust covered the sky, and the bright red sun hung on a certain peak in Taihang Mountain. Liu Chundao took advantage of the little devil's retreat and looked at his watch, and the sun had only set for more than two hours.

Although the time was still early, the soldiers had already seen the sunset in the sky, which was fiery red, as if it had been burned by the flames of war in Taihang Mountain.

After only five minutes of retreat, the rain of shells fell again, and the soldiers huddled in the fortifications, a scene they had experienced more than a dozen times in one day, but they were still frightened when they heard the violent explosion.

Although war can forge a group of iron warriors, it does not mean that they are not afraid of death. Some of the warriors curled up and prayed to the gods and Buddhas they knew, perhaps in their most helpless moment, but they knew that they would hold on even without God's help.

More than two hours seemed like more than half a century had passed, no one knew how they had survived, looking at the mutilated corpses of their companions around them, looking at their indescribable eyes, some of the soldiers quietly shed a few tears, and the soldiers on the side patted them on the shoulder, without saying a word of comfort.

The fierceness of the battle was beyond Liao Fan's imagination, and it was also beyond the imagination of Gangcun Ningci. As soon as night fell, the soldiers at the front could hear the buzzing of flies not far away, which was comparable to the plane in the air of the little devil, which made people uneasy.

The warrior used his hands to chase away the flies that were constantly flying around him and began to find a quiet place to rest.

Suddenly, the wind blew, and the cool wind rattled the leaves, which also brought a touch of coolness to the warriors, and by the way blew away the disturbing flies. The warriors began to fall asleep, and perhaps only in their dreams could they find a glimmer of peace.

At some point, the wind stopped, and the bean-like raindrops fell through the thick layer of smoke and dust on the dusty cheeks of a warrior who was still asleep, unaware that it was raining.

The rain fell into the soil of Taihang Mountain again, and she never skimped on a drop of rain or a drop of rain generously because the people of this land were in dire straits. The Taihang Mountain in the rain will always be so clean and pure.

The night is as dark as ink, you can't see your five fingers, and there is no trace of light in Taihang Mountain, you can only hear the sound of rain dripping. Liao Fan stood at the door, looking at the rain in the dark night, even though he couldn't see anything.

"It's been a month, and I don't know how the situation is with the other troops!" Liao Fan said softly.

Li Lingfei just raised his head and glanced at Liao Fan, and then continued to look down at the document. And Chu Pengtian had already fallen asleep on the bed of the headquarters. Only Lu Liming was always paying attention to Liao Fan's every move.

"It is estimated that the materials we have stored will not last for a few days!"

Liao Fan was thinking about the materials they had stored, although the affairs of the logistics department were handed over to Sun Boyong to take care of, but how could he, as the commander of the 33rd Independent Division, not know how much supplies and ammunition the 33rd Independent Division still had.

This battle has been fought for a month, and it is estimated that the little devil is also annoyed, but Liao Fan did not expect that the little devil would have such a fierce attack today, if they didn't have enough artillery and flying thunder cannons, the little devil would have rushed into his headquarters today.

"Old Lu, if the defense line is finally breached, you take the troops to escort the communication soldiers from the Fifth War Zone to leave!"

Liao Fan kept his back to the command headquarters, and he knew that Lu Liming would definitely be able to hear what he said. Although it is not yet the last moment, Liao Fan has to prepare for the last moment, if that moment really comes, I am afraid he will not have time to make arrangements.

Chu Pengtian, who had been snoring slightly in bed, seemed to feel something, suddenly woke up, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "What about my sister-in-law?" ”

Liao Fan didn't speak, what should Fu Hongyu do? What about Liao Jundong? And what about these people in the command? John could keep the hospital safe, but when the little devils rushed in, how many soldiers of the Independent 33rd Division were willing to survive?

"Brother Fan, why don't you arrange for someone to send your sister-in-law out first?" Chu Pengtian turned over and made himself as comfortable as possible.

Liao Fan shook his head: "No need, she definitely won't leave!" ”

Xiaoman and Xiaoyue's group of children are still in the station, and the most important thing is that Liao Fan is still in the station, and Fu Hongyu will not leave. Chu Pengtian looked at Liao Fan's back, then closed his eyes, and in less than a minute, Chu Pengtian snored.

"Boom Boom"

The sound of a violent explosion came into the command headquarters from a distance, and Lu Liming and Li Lingfei in the command headquarters came to Liao Fan's side, only Chu Pengtian was still sleeping, not disturbed by the explosion in the slightest.

"Brother Fan, where did this explosion come from?" Li Lingfei asked.

Liao Fan turned around and walked to his desk to pick up the binoculars, and then left the headquarters in the rain, Lu Liming glanced at Li Lingfei, and then immediately followed Liao Fan.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it could drench people's clothes in a few minutes in the rain. The icy rain poured from his collar into his neck, and Lu Liming followed Liao Fan to climb a mountain peak, which was the highest peak around the headquarters.

Liao Fan picked up the binoculars and looked at the firelight of the explosion in the distance, listened to the sound of the explosion, and calculated that the place where the battle took place at this time was the stone gate.

At ten o'clock in the evening, it was the time when Hu Guoshan and Li Weimin agreed to launch an attack on Shimen.

Since he had the cannon pulled out of Heshun County, Hu Guoshan was of course unwilling to let his soldiers risk charging, so he simply launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese troops stationed at Shimen at ten o'clock.

Although a dozen cannons can't fully cover the positions of the Japanese army, they are enough to deter the little devils. Hu Guoshan fought very simply, and the shells bombarded until they were gone.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Gunfire rang out, and the fighters of the third regiment, after the end of the shelling, began to attack the little devils. Since the little devil experienced a sneak attack on the stone gate, of course, it is impossible to let the stone gate out easily again.

Japanese forces began to urgently move to the front to defend against the attack of the three regiments. However, the little devil didn't know that the protagonist of this battle was not the third regiment, but the second regiment that was freed from Beitai Peak. The third regiment was only responsible for frontal feints. The second regiment had been waiting on the flanks for a long time, and the main forces of the little devils were concentrated on the front.

Li Weimin ordered the soldiers to get as close to the position on the flank of the little devil as possible, and then use the flying thunder cannon they brought.

"Boom Boom"

When the little devil got up from the bunker, the commando of the second regiment had already rushed to the front of the position with submachine guns, and when they saw the little devil, they were bursting out.

The Japanese army was shocked, they didn't expect that a strong fighting force would suddenly emerge on their flank, the commander of the little devil understood that the main direction of attack of the Chinese army was their flank, but when he urgently mobilized his troops to defend on the flank, it was too late, and the Japanese troops in front of them began to retreat in a panic when they heard the gunfire coming from behind them, which was mainly because the last sneak attack of the three regiments left a shadow on them, the same rainy night, the same unknown force, rushed into the stone gate, like a ghost.

If one of the troops retreats, it will have a chain reaction and drive the retreat of other troops, and when the commander of the little devil transferred his troops, Hu Guoshan had already pressed up with the soldiers of the three regiments. At the stone gate in the dark, I could only hear the chaotic gunfire, and I couldn't tell which direction the enemy was coming from, let alone how many enemies there were, only that the mountains and fields were full of enemies.

The Japanese troops defending Shimen were attacked from both sides, and the Japanese troops quickly retreated, and the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd regiments quickly occupied the important fortifications around Shimenmen, and then began to deploy defenses.

"Lao Hu, I really didn't expect this battle to go so smoothly!" Li Weimin was very happy to see Hu Guoshan, he was able to take the stone gate, thanks to the help of the third regiment, if only the second regiment still knew when it would be successful.

"Now is not the time to catch up, we have to hurry up and set up defenses, otherwise the little devil will come back to kill us, and all the hard work tonight will be in vain!" Hu Guoshan told Li Weimin.

In fact, where do the little devils dare to kill the carbine, it is too late for them to escape. In the last battle at Shimen, the matter of the ghost army had already spread, although it was suppressed by Okamura Ningji, but this matter had already been left in the heart of the little devil, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the more it spread, the more evil it became. Especially this time, the cooperation of the second and third regiments in the rain completely inspired the rumors in the hearts of the little devils. The little devil has already made a lot of noise, where do you dare to kill it back.

Liao Fan did not stay on the mountain peak for long, and when he was sure that the battle was taking place in the area of Shimen, he immediately returned to the headquarters, and then told Li Lingfei about it.

"What do you think about this?" Liao Fan asked Li Lingfei.
