Matouwan, although the little devil is very tenacious, but the gap in the strength of the army has not left them with room to exert the spirit of bushido. Under the personal command of division commander Ye Zhao, all the officers and men of the 36th Brigade fought bravely to be the first. As the first company set foot on the land of Matou Bay, then a battalion, followed by a regiment. When the regimental strength of the 36th Brigade was sufficient on the land of Matouwan, the resistance of the Japanese army suddenly became weak. The devils of a squadron, even if they occupy the terrain, but under the superior firepower of the Cadet Army, the care that this terrain can give is limited. Born in the 12th Division, the soldiers have combat experience. The Cadet Corps has a real gun and live ammunition project every month, so even the newly promoted cadets have no shortage of combat experience. The Japanese fought fiercely, and their marksmanship was particularly accurate, but that was during the day. At night, however, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was much lower. In the battle at night, it is also better to give full play to the advantage of continuous firepower. Think about it, hundreds of Weiqing-style assault rifles fired at the same time, and the effect was no different from a machine gun company or even a salvo of machine gun regiments. The Japanese patrol held out for only a quarter of an hour or so before being routed. By the time the main force of the Japanese army came to support, the troops of the Cadet Corps had successfully landed. Once the cadets have an absolute advantage in numbers, there will be very little room for the Japanese army to play.

When the fierce battle of Matouwan was in full swing, the main force of the Japanese army in Xingzi County finally received the news, and after discussion, the two captains did not dare to let the school soldiers come over, and took the lead in leading the troops to rush over, and they were greeted by the 36th Brigade of the Japanese army that had already annihilated the Japanese army in Matouwan.

In the night battle, the luck component plays a large factor. Although it was assisted by flares, people's vision could not be as wide as in the daytime, so the battle lasted for more than an hour, and the two sides were still evenly matched.

The raid turned into an encounter, and although Ye Zhao was unwilling, there was no way. He thought about it for a while, and finally sent a telegram to the 35th Brigade, asking the 35th Brigade to abandon Duchang and march directly to Xingzi County, to completely annihilate the Japanese army in Xingzi County after dawn, and then attack Jiujiang with heavy troops.

Ye Zhao and the 36th Brigade had not been able to open up the situation in Xingzi County, and the Japanese army's sneak attack troops had arrived at Yanlie Mountain. Under Haneda's leadership, a large group of devils rowed small boats and rode a few sailing boats, and soon appeared on the lake below Mt. Yanlie.

After Meng Kailan led the 122nd Regiment to support Shi Zhongshan, only one squad under the brigade headquarters guard company was left on duty at Yanlie Mountain. The squad leader's name was Ma Changchun, Ma Changchun had just passed his 23rd birthday, and after the departure of the 122nd Regiment, he called all the soldiers in the squad for a short pre-war meeting. He said: "Brothers, the brigade took the 122nd regiment to support Shizhong Mountain and handed over Yanlie Mountain to us. The Japanese army is attacking Shizhong Mountain with all its might, and if there is no accident, we will not have a battle here. It can be said that right now, we are the safest and safest in Hukou County. But we can't leave it to chance. If the little devil suddenly makes a surprise move to sneak attack here, we are the only defensive force of Yanlie Mountain. Brothers, if this happens, that's our chance. If the little devils send out a few hundred people, but we can hold it, think about it, what kind of credit this is. ”

Ma Changchun said this, but it was actually just an unintentional remark, and what he didn't expect was that he actually made a crow's mouth, and he really said it. At about nine o'clock, he was looking at a combat manual issued by the Cadet Army under a dim incandescent lamp, when suddenly the deputy squad leader Zhang Haonai hurriedly ran to report: "Squad leader, there is a situation. ”

"What's going on!" He immediately followed Zhang Haonai to the front line, where Chen Ermin, a student soldier who served as a lookout, pointed to the water in the distance and said, "Squad leader, look! He looked over and saw several dark figures approaching him, and he held his breath and pricked up his ears, and heard the slight roar of the motor, and his face changed color. The thing he was most worried about really happened, and at this moment, he didn't know how to evaluate his mouth.

"Squad leader, what should I do?" There were thirteen of them, and he was the highest governor here. Facing the inquiring eyes of the young soldiers, Ma Changchun felt pressure like never before.

The cadet corps is equipped with walkie-talkies at the company level and above, but they are only a squad, but they are not unable to enjoy this treatment. Ma Changchun's first thought was to notify the brigade commander immediately, but because there was no walkie-talkie, if someone had to be sent to inform them, it would mean that they would have one less person here. In the current situation, one more person will have more combat power, and one more combat power will delay a little longer. After a short period of intense thought, he quickly made a decision: "Soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, brothers, get ready to fight!" We are studying in the army, and there is no misseed! ”

In just one sentence, a simple decision, but it showed everyone their determination. The soldiers of the second squad surrounded him, and when they heard this, they raised their chests high one by one, and said firmly: "Squad leader, we listen to you, we are studying in the army, and there is no bad seed!" Haneda stood on the foredeck of a sailing ship at the front, he looked at the majestic Yanlie Mountain in the night, and suddenly said to the captain Kobayashi Satoru beside him: "Kobayashi-kun, do you think there is still an army on Yanlie Mountain?" ”

Kobayashi Jue is an honest child, and replied honestly: "I don't know how to do it." ”

Haneda didn't need his answer, he said, "There must be, but there won't be many of them." Hmph, Your Excellency Nakajima is really too conservative, if he launched an offensive at Shizhong Mountain and Yanlie Mountain at the same time a few days in advance, how could he fall into such a passive situation now. Alright, tell below, get ready for battle! The sooner the battle is resolved, the better, and next, we have to go to Shizhong Mountain. ”

In Haneda's mind, even if there is a battle on Yanlie Mountain, it will end quickly, and his real battlefield is not in Yanlie Mountain, but in Shizhong Mountain. At that time, their army will appear in Shizhong Mountain as a surprise soldier. Thinking about it, because his army suddenly came out from behind the branch army, and the battle situation in Shizhong Mountain changed, he couldn't help but crack the corners of his mouth and show a smug smile. "Asai Kuraka, the future is too late," he thought, looking at the lonely black shadow of Yanlie Mountain, and his heart became more and more proud.

On a sniper position on the mountainside, led by Ma Changchun, the soldiers of the second squad checked the magazines of the submachine guns, and put all the grenades on their bodies in front of them, ready for battle. On the beach at the foot of the mountain, Japanese ships docked. A dark shadow jumped from the boat, another. Gradually, at least a few hundred devils gathered on the river beach, and these devils scattered in all directions in turn, and after about ten minutes, the first group of devils began to touch the mountain. Suddenly, the light of a flashlight lit up, and the little devil actually used a flashlight.

"The little devil is too blind!" A warrior said.

Zhang Haonai glared at him and shouted, "Don't talk, no one treats you as a dumb." ”

The warrior stuck out his tongue and closed his mouth.

There are only a few soldiers like him, and there are too many little devils, and many fighters are very nervous because of this. They held their guns tightly, and occasionally looked at Ma Changchun not far away, many people couldn't help but use their tongues to Tiantian lips, and then turned their eyes to the mountain road.

The sniper position was personally chosen by Ma Changchun, and the reason why he chose this place was to take the little devil by surprise. Their number is too small, so it is especially important that the unexpected little devil is hit hard. Only by unexpectedly opening up the little devil at the beginning can you delay time as much as possible. As for whether Brigade Commander Meng would send troops back to help after hearing the strange noise here, it was not within their consideration.

The Japanese army began to climb the mountain, and whether there was an enemy on Yanlie Mountain or not, Yanlie Mountain had to be taken. Only by taking this place and establishing a base here can you launch a surprise attack on Shizhong Mountain. As long as you hold your feet at Yanlie Mountain Station, then even if the first wave of raids can't shake the foundation of Shizhongshan's defenders, it's nothing, and then, after dawn, with the arrival of a large army, Shizhongshan will be captured sooner or later. And once Shizhong Mountain is taken, Jiujiang and Hukou will be connected, then Madang will be much easier to fight. At that time, the 11th Army will have more ways to attack Madang, and there will be no need to attack from the front-Haneda thought so, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is even more overflowing.

On the sniper position on the mountainside, watching the little devil get closer and closer, the breathing of many soldiers became heavy. Although the soldiers of the guard company were carefully selected, many of them still felt uncontrollably nervous before the battle. Ma Changchun was not very old, but he had a lot of combat experience, and he could understand the reaction of the fighters, so he didn't say anything. He picked up the assault step in front of him, took aim with both hands, calculated the distance, and said, "Wait, let's get closer." Then, he said to Zhang Haonai: "Good Nai, look at the right time!" ”

Zhang Haonai had led a few warriors to set up a lalei on the mountain road before, and at this moment, he was dragging the lasso with his right hand.

Zhang Haonai held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, put his hands flat on a stone in front of him, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, I promise, at least one class of devils!" ”

Ma Changchun glanced at him and didn't talk nonsense.

Eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters, I can almost see the height of the devil in front of me, Ma Changchun took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Fight!" "Then shoot first.

"Smack!" The gunshot rang out instantly, and the only general-purpose machine gun in the class roared, and the few devils who rushed to the front were immediately hit by bullets, and the devil in the front was hit by several bullets at the same time, and the whole person couldn't withstand such a huge momentum, so he flew up and fell backwards.

When the devil in the back heard the gunshot, he immediately fell down and fired back, and at the same time, Zhang Haonai pulled the cable. A few seconds later, a series of explosions sounded, and in the firelight, more than a dozen devils were blown up and flew up.

The battle broke out instantly, and the Japanese army was not prepared at all, and more than a dozen people were knocked down when they landed.

"Enemy attack!" "Lie down!" …… In the Japanese array, from time to time, there were devils shouting like this, and the little devils fell down one after another, and then began to fight back. The peculiar gunshot of the 38 big cover rang out, and a little spark burst out from the rocks around Ma Changchun and them.

The Japanese army reacted quickly enough, and their marksmanship was accurate enough, and they opened fire at first glance, and they actually hit extremely accurately.

With a successful blow, Ma Changchun shouted: "Stop, hide!" When he landed, the gunfire on the sniper position stopped, and the whole position fell silent again.

The defenders broke out this time, showing great firepower. That's it, the presence of those serial thunders made Haneda realize that the defenders were ready, that is, their whereabouts had been exposed. Raiding is impossible, so let's storm it! He thought about it without feeling flustered. He had one of the staff officers fire a flare at the place where the gunshots rang out, and then shouted, "Forward!" ”

"Onward! Charge! "There were squad leaders, squadron commanders and other officers who followed closely to convey the order of the brigade commander, and the little devils who fell to the ground immediately shouted and stood up, and they launched an attack while firing their guns. Under the light of the flares, the sniper position was bare, and the enemy seemed to have disappeared all at once.

This strange phenomenon made Haneda feel a little uneasy, but he didn't take it too seriously. He insisted on his previous judgment that there would not be too many enemy troops on Yanlie Mountain. He said to a few devils around him: "The people of China are timid, very good, this is our chance." Rush up in one go, Yanlie Mountain is ours, attack! ”

The gunfire was incessant, and from time to time bullets hit the stones in front of them, causing the stones to fly, and several of the soldiers could not withstand such a great pressure, and their faces were as white as winter snow under the reflection of the flares.

Ma Changchun has grown from an ordinary soldier to this point, he understands the mood of the soldiers at the moment, he said: "Hold back, think about it, we are from the guard company, we are not ordinary people!" ”

The soldiers of the guard company and the reconnaissance company are all selected from the ordinary troops. Even if it is an ordinary soldier, their welfare package is double or even more than that of an ordinary soldier. This is the capital they usually show off, and it is what they are proud of. When several pale warriors heard this, their eyes widened, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became resolute.

Ma Changchun was calculating the distance. He had calculated the choice of this place as a sniper position, and below this position was a relatively flat terrain, which was most suitable for strafing from submachine guns. Moreover, there was a bottleneck about fifty meters from the position, which could only accommodate about three people side by side. This bottleneck limits the number of little devils who pass through, so as long as their firepower is strong enough, they can completely kill the little devils who pass through the bottleneck, so as to get a chance to breathe. Since the little devils are a sneak attack, it is impossible to carry heavy weapons, and even if they carry mortars, they will not launch them at the first time, this is their chance.

It is estimated that the devil who rushed to the front was only about ten meters away from them, which was already the limit, and he suddenly shouted: "Fight!" Then he straightened up and began to shoot with an assault step.

The fighters tensed their nerves, just waiting for the battle order, he "hit" the exit, many fighters stood up, they all had submachine guns in their hands, twelve submachine guns plus an assault step, which was equivalent to twelve machine guns firing at the same time, and when they landed, the dense bullets shot at the little devil who rushed through the bottleneck like a storm, and instantly put down a large area.
