Chapter 590: Old Man Ridge Ambush

"Bang la la" "......"

The rain was non-stop, and the roads were muddy. Shao Fei took Li Ping's hand and walked forward in the rain with difficulty, they didn't know that a bloody battle was about to take place in front of them.

Li Ping wiped the water droplets on his face and asked, "Are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Shao Fei turned around and asked, "Are you tired?" Or I'll carry you. ”

"No!" Li Ping shook off Shao Fei's hand vigorously and walked forward angrily.

Shao Fei didn't quite understand her thoughts, and continued to walk forward in the rain.

Like Shao Fei, the Japanese army also walked with great difficulty. The Sakai detachment was divided into two ways to encircle Qianshan County, and the other way was to attack Qianshan from the northeast through Laotouling.

"Step~Step~Step~""~"

The road was dark and oppressive, because the rain was only 20 meters visible. The vanguard of the devils wore black raincoats and marched forward on foot. The mud-covered soles of their shoes are lifted up on the road, indirectly consuming their physical strength.

"Quick! Hurry up! ”“……”

Some devil officers kept urging the soldiers to speed up their pace, and they had to attack Qianshan County before dark.

And at the other end of the old man ridge direction. The 147th Division of the Sichuan Army ambushed a regiment here, waiting for the devils to enter their ambush circle.

A soldier came running and reported: "Report to the regimental commander! The Devil's vanguard force reached the ambush range. ”

The headquarters of the 786th Regiment was only set up improvised by cutting down a few pine trees, and they did not intend to fight for a long time. The order of the division headquarters was to hold out until dusk, and then take the opportunity to evacuate the upper and lower stone monuments.

The commander of the 786th Regiment picked up the phone and ordered the forward troops: "The second battalion spares the vanguard, and one battalion fights the enemy."

The vanguard of the devils continued to march forward in the rain, but they did not know that thousands of pairs of eyes were looking at them.

Not long after the vanguard of the Japanese army passed, the follow-up troops arrived one after another.

"Hit!"

"Bang!" With one shot, the commander of the first battalion of the 786th regiment gave the order to attack.

"Bang Bang Bang" "......"

The artillery had already set the distance and launched a fierce shelling of the road ahead.

"Boom Boom" "......"

Dozens of grenades exploded in the middle of the road together, and the devils were caught off guard for a while, killing and injuring countless people. The fire and smoke were quickly extinguished by the rain.

"Hidden! Take cover! ”

The Devil Officer hastily commanded the troops to launch a counterattack. But both the terrain and the weather conditions were very unfavorable for them, and the Japanese army scrambled around like headless flies.

"Da Da Da" "Bang Bang Bang" "......"

Gunfire erupted from the top of the hill, and dense bullets poured down from the hill, shooting indiscriminately at the devils on the side of the road. Hundreds of devils had nowhere to hide, and they were hit and fell in pools of blood.

The devils withdrew from the battle in desperation, while the vanguard moved in the opposite direction of the old man's ridge and quickly broke away from the range of fire of the Sichuan army.

"It's so fierce in front."

The battle at Old Man Ridge completely blocked Shao Fei's way, so Shao Fei could only choose to take a detour.

Shao Fei didn't want to brave the rain to move forward, but the devil would be able to occupy the hidden mountain at night, and he wouldn't be able to leave if he wanted to.

The two blockades of the Sichuan army, first, were to take advantage of the rain to occupy favorable terrain and give the devil a blow to the head; Second, it is to buy time for the people of Qianshan County to evacuate.

Li Ping has always been in the front. Shao Fei wondered in his heart: How can a woman walk so fast and run fast.

"Is it okay to slow down?"

Shao Fei was a little worried, they gave up taking the main road, and the current mountain road is even more difficult to walk.

Li Ping said with emotion without looking back: "Aren't you in a hurry to go back?" Let's go~go~ When you get to Tangjiawan, you will take your people away, just go, what's the big deal. ”

At this time, Shao Fei found a large number of devil soldiers not far ahead. They were the vanguard of the previous devils, and because they couldn't withdraw from the original way, they chose to retreat to the opposite side of the old man's ridge.

Shao Fei quickly stepped forward and pressed Li Ping down in the grass on the side of the road.

Li Ping shouted, "What are you doing!?"

Shao Fei quickly covered Li Ping's mouth and pressed it against her. The devil was less than thirty meters away from them, and continued to move this way. If they are discovered by the devils, Shao Fei and the others will definitely die.

Shao Fei whispered, "Don't speak, devil."

The devils approached here step by step, and Shao Fei remained motionless, because the eyes of the devils in front of him were all towards them.

Li Ping looked up at Shao Fei and seemed to be able to feel his nervous heartbeat. And the devil approached ten meters, Shao Fei lowered his head, and could only resign himself to fate.

Shao Fei whispered in Li Ping's ear: "Maybe we will die here together."

Li Ping involuntarily hugged Shao Fei's waist with both hands, and Shao Fei was shocked.

Li Ping closed his eyes and said softly: "Actually, it's good."

Shao Fei replied: "Wait a minute, I'll rush out, run back desperately, you know, don't look back."

Shao Fei put his hand in his abdomen and took out a barge gun to prepare for the final battle.

"Stomp Pedal Pedal

Now you can hear the footsteps of the devil when you are close, just as Shao Fei got up......

"Stop moving." A devil officer shouted.

All the devils stopped and took a short rest. Then launch an effective attack on the positions of the Sichuan army.

Ten minutes later, the devil seemed to have received an order to start gathering, and then headed in the direction of Old Man Ridge.

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay."

But Li Ping didn't respond to Shao Fei and kept his eyes closed.

"Hey~"

Shao Fei pushed it, but Li Ping still didn't react. Seeing that her face was flushed, Shao Fei put his hand on Li Ping's forehead, which was hot. It was clear that she had fainted with a fever.

From just now to now, Li Ping has been forcing himself to hurry. With such a heavy rain, it's no wonder that you don't get sick when you're drenched all over.

Shao Fei felt extremely guilty in his heart, picked up Li Ping and continued to hurry.

The Japanese began to adjust their forces and launched an attack on the old man. This is the only way to Qianshan County, and they have to pass through it no matter what.

"Boom Boom" "......"

Japanese artillery began to launch a heavy artillery bombardment of Old Man Ridge.

"Kill~" "......"

Wave after wave of infantry attacked the hill.

The location of the Sichuan ambush was less than 100 meters from the road, but visibility was limited due to heavy rain. The Sichuan soldiers could only block the sound and the looming creeping target.

If it was a sunny day, it would not be difficult for the Japanese army to capture this hill. However, it was now raining heavily, and it was very difficult for the Japanese to attack. The hill was steep and slippery, and they struggled to walk. The first wave of attacks was quickly suppressed, but the casualties were not significant.

Not long after, the Japanese launched a second round of attacks. The artillery fire on the Sichuan army's position never stopped, and only by completely suppressing the opponent's firepower could the infantry below rush forward.

"Stop shooting, hide!"

On the position, the commander of a battalion commanded loudly. All the soldiers were in the position, and let the devils rush up.

It didn't take long. The devil attacked the troops to close to thirty meters.

The commander of the first battalion shouted: "Ready, throw!"

The soldier can throw the logs and rolling stones that have been prepared down the hill and then launch a fierce attack.

"Tutu Tutu" "......"

A large number of devils were rolled down by logs, injured by stones, killed by bullets, and retreated again in embarrassment. This time, they left hundreds of corpses on the hillside.

On such a rainy day, and the terrain was completely unfavorable, the devil was helpless against the Sichuan army. The mountain road under the old man's ridge is an impassable dead end for them.

The battle lasted until evening, when the rain stopped and the western sky appeared to glow.

The Laotouling ambush once again inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. The Sichuan army left Laotouling with a long-lost victory, went to the upper and lower stone monuments to meet with the 146th Division, and then the devils made the final decisive battle.
