The setting sun was already approaching the top of the mountain, and the mountains were dragged out in long shadows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a mountain whose shadow has been dragged the longest, it is called Zhanggu Mountain, and it is also the commanding height of the Wanjialing area, but it has now been occupied by the Japanese army.

The Japanese 106th Division was not very nervous at first when they found themselves surrounded by Chinese troops, and they had to hold on to the danger and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The southern slope of Zhanggu Mountain is steep and the northern slope is gentle, so the Japanese army built their defensive fortifications on the northern slope nearly 100 meters from the peak.

As for the southern slope, they didn't care, because if one looked down from the top of the mountain, the angle of seventy or eighty degrees was almost vertical, and if the person was dizzy, his legs and feet would be weak, and they didn't think that any Chinese army could climb up from here.

This is where the Japanese army overlooked because they took it for granted.

The Japanese are only mortals, and if he has an eye of heaven that moves in the air and looks vertically to the south, he will find a capable detachment of the national army ambushing in a dense mountain forest after passing a low mountain, and they have used this place as an ambush position for climbing the southern slope of Zhanggu Mountain at night.

Huo Xiaoshan, Shen Chong, Xiaoshi, Hanzi, Manghan, Zheng Youjian, and the gold, silver, bronze, and iron four-lock brothers and other 20 skilled soldiers of the quartermaster department sat on the ground in full armor.

Forty other soldiers of the 305th Regiment of the Central Army were similarly armed, in silence.

They closed their eyes and looked at the western sky, waiting for the night to come.

Huo Xiaoshan naturally selected a company of soldiers according to the orders of the Central Army and rushed to the Zhanggushan area without stopping.

This time, the Central Army gave them the task of joining forces with the small detachment of the 305th Regiment to jointly climb to the top from the southern slope of Zhanggu Mountain, which was poorly defended by the Japanese army.

Huo Xiaoshan's veterans once joked that they must be famous in war, and the leader's daughter-in-law knew where to find the leader.

But he didn't expect that the leader's daughter-in-law had not been found, but the Central Army had found them.

That Yu Guangliang had already passed on the situation of Huo Xiaoshan's small army to the top of the 74th Army through his own channels, and the top leaders of the 74th Army had originally heard about Huo Xiaoshan's Quartermaster Department, because that matter has now become a legend that many people talk about

There is a saying in China that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, which is about people's habits, and there is nothing wrong with them, but when is the score.

In the stage of the arduous war of resistance, the professional soldiers were most interested in not those gossip anecdotes, but some legends of fighting devils.

For example, a recruit who participated in the battle for the first time lost his gun and was afraid of being punished by military discipline, so he carried two grenades into the enemy camp late at night, killed 17 devils one after another, and returned to the barracks with six 38 big covers, and finally won the medal awarded by the chairman of the committee.

For example, the story of a veteran soldier who noticed a shining Japanese helmet 400 meters away in the position and fired a shot, killing a Japanese wing leader.

Another example is the story of Huo Xiaoshan's Quartermaster's Office.

What made the top brass of the 74th Army particularly happy was that this legendary Huo Xiaoshan, who had extremely high skills in fighting devils, was actually from the 74th Army, so in this night attack on Zhang Gushan, Huo Xiaoshan was remembered.

I heard that he was very accurate in marksmanship.

I heard that he fought hard and failed to meet an opponent.

I heard that he killed thirty-eight devils with a dagger in a night battle......

Although these things happened when the non-central army resisted Japan, it is impossible to test, but the fact that he was able to climb a house five or six meters high upside down cannot be faked, because the central army was also present at that time.

The southern slope of Zhang Gushan is very steep, so who will let him go up if he doesn't let someone with good skills get on it?

This time, he made a contribution, but it was also from our 74th Army, because he was originally our man.

So an order was issued, and Huo Xiaoshan was recruited here with a company of his own people.

Huo Xiaoshan originally thought that his company could participate in the battle, but after arriving, the 153rd Brigade of the 74th Army, which was in charge of this battle, only let him have twenty people, and he had to let them choose.

But at this time, he didn't wait for others to speak, but Zheng Youjian was the first to say that he wanted to go, and he was rejected by the commander of the 153rd Brigade who picked people at that time.

However, Huo Xiaoshan saw that Zheng Youjian was resolute in participating in the battle, so he also discussed with the brigade commander to take Zheng Youjian up the mountain.

The brigade commander asked him if he was good at climbing mountains? Huo Xiaoshan said no.

The brigade commander asked him about his marksmanship, and he was shooting incense at night? Huo Xiaoshan said no.

The brigade commander asked why he should be allowed to participate, a close relative of a bear bag who was shot dead by the chairman of the committee?

Huo Xiaoshan replied that he climbed the mountain with us, you don't have to care, and we don't need him to be good marksmanship, but he can play with a grenadier!

So the brigade commander, who became famous in later generations because of the battle of Zhang Gushan, pointed to a tree 300 meters away and said, "I will give him the opportunity to shoot three guns."

The old grenadiers of the Japanese army generally fired grenadiers with one or two guns, and the hit rate of the third gun was more than 85%.

When Zheng Youjian heard this, he said that I watched it, and then he just hit the target with just one shot, so the people of the 153rd Brigade of the Central Army who were present understood what Huo Xiaoshan said.

Zheng Youjian obtained the qualification to be the first through his miracles, and under the influence of Zheng Youjian's cannon, the brigade commander of the 153 Brigade felt that he really didn't need to pick people in a company that he was not familiar with, so he gave this power to Huo Xiaoshan.

Huo Xiaoshan looked at the soldiers of his company, and every soldier also looked at him, their eyes were full of eagerness and expectation, which was the desire of each of them to fight from the heart.

Huo Xiaoshan just said one sentence, I will order whoever is on it, and if you can't get on it, you can't go up, and then he connected eighteen people.

It's just that he didn't name Xiao Shi Suo, Xiao Shi Suo naturally knew that the head at this time was absolutely the same, and he didn't dare to say anything in front of the military discipline, but he pouted and tears flowed down.

The brigade commander who was standing on the sidelines and watching was strange when he saw this scene, so he asked Huo Xiaoshan why he didn't choose this little guy, was his skills not good?

Huo Xiaoshan pointed to the four brothers in Xiaoshisuo and said I have to leave one for his family, and the brigade commander suddenly felt in his heart, and the five tigers nodded in approval.

After selecting the fighters, Huo Xiaoshan made another request for the weapons that his own people carried.

Even if Zheng Youjian brought a total of four grenadiers, he must have two grenadiers and grenades, and he also asked Hanzi and his two machine gunners to bring a heavy machine gun.

The heavy machine gun was the barrel that Hanzi had never been willing to throw back, and then asked the Central Army to help match the gun rack.

This heavy machine gun made the fighters of the 153rd Brigade stunned, knowing that they were climbing a hill of almost 90 degrees. It was too difficult to bring these fifty or sixty pounds of heavy machine guns.

But the brigade commander didn't say anything more, and the other combatants naturally didn't say much.

Before you know it, the sun has set on the top of the mountain, and the sky is getting dark.

Huo Xiaoshan habitually sat cross-legged under a tree, slightly closed his eyes, and quietly felt the breeze blowing, and the grass moving, like an old sculpture.

He has been in this position since he entered the ambush position, so much so that the soldiers of the 305th Regiment, who were also on the ambush position, whispered, "Is this guy going to sit down like this until moss grows on his body?"

These soldiers didn't know Huo Xiaoshan's deeds, nor did they know that the whispers they thought were already small were also sensed by Huo Xiaoshan.

But these words did not bring the slightest ripple in Huo Xiaoshan's still state of mind, at this time, Huo Xiaoshan's heart has no points, no other joy, no anger, even if what others talk about behind him, it is just a breeze blowing on the hills, I am still strong and self-reliant.

When the soldiers of the 305th Regiment wanted to say something, they were severely stopped by their captain Fang Ai, a battalion commander of their regiment who was known for his ability to fight tough battles.

Fang Ai knows the deeds of Huo Xiaoshan's team, as a veteran, of course he has his own pride, but he will never say anything, he only believes in his eyes, the time will come soon, let's see!
