The War of Resistance

When Liu Chengyi and Li Xiang rushed to the back of the 680th Regiment with a few guards, they discovered that the situation was much more serious than they imagined.

After all, this battle was launched in a hurry. They learned about the terrain where Shang Zhen's guard company attacked through the confession of the Japanese prisoner, but they did not know the terrain on the north side of the mountain that Shang Zhen currently occupied.

The 680th Regiment sent one battalion to occupy a hill, and the other two battalions spread out on both wings.

The reason why it is said that one battalion only occupies a hill is because the 337th Brigade has suffered a lot of losses now. In these days of fighting, that battalion now only has one company left. If it is said to be one battalion, it is just one company. The establishment is still there.

When the Shang Zhen Guard Company fired in the south of the 680th Regiment, when the Japanese troops in the north fired flares, they discovered that there was another mountain just a hundred meters away from this hill, and that mountain was bigger than The hill they occupy is much higher!

As a result, with the flares, the Japanese army went up that mountain, or there was already a firepower point of the Japanese army on that mountain. Therefore, the 680th Regiment, which was originally intended to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army, was instead used by the Japanese army on a higher commanding height. I'm so depressed that I can't even lift my head!

But who can blame this? No one can blame it!

Before the Japanese army set off the flares, there was nothing bright except the stars in the sky. How could the 680th regiment know that the Japanese army was so close to them, but their firepower was just to suppress them?

Liu Chengyi lay behind a tree and looked forward.

The hill occupied by the 680th Regiment on the right front is being baptized by Japanese firepower. You can see the Japanese light and heavy machine guns at a higher point in the distance firing bullets there. The taillight of the tracer bullets covers up the faint red line of the bullets behind. In the light of the flare, you could see the dust rising from the top of the hill.

The Japanese army directly suppressed the hilltop with long-range firepower. In response to the Japanese army's long-distance attack, the 680th Regiment had no power to fight back except being passively beaten.

But the firepower of the Japanese army didn't stop there. The flares in the sky had to wait for a while before falling, and then there were "boom" and "boom" shots from the opposite side. There was a flash of white light on the top of the mountain, and then it shone brightly. You can see branches being blown away.

The trumpet to break away from the battle has been sounded, but it is not easy for the 680th Regiment, which has lost its geographical advantage, to withdraw from the battle.

The firepower of the Japanese army increased significantly. The Northeastern officers and soldiers on both wings hid behind the high ground extending from the hill. However, if they wanted to withdraw, they would be exposed to the gunfire of the Japanese army on that mountain.

This is battle, there are gains and losses, no one knows what will happen next moment.

Liu Chengyi had a headache and asked the troops to withdraw? However, doing so will inevitably cause a lot of casualties, and he is unwilling to do so!

But just holding on like this? If they were entangled by the Japanese army while standing like this, they would also suffer losses and lose their original intention of fighting back to survive!

Liu Chengyi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the "hiss" and "hiss" screams amidst the sound of gunfire.

Before he could react, he felt a strong force coming from behind, but it directly pinned him down!

Caught off guard, he screamed subconsciously, but the explosion that followed immediately sealed his mouth.

That was when the Japanese army fired two artillery shells that exploded not far from him. The air waves from the explosion pushed debris such as earth and branches whizzing past his head.

"Uncle Wang, are you okay?" The explosion made Liu Chengyi's ears buzz, and he heard a soldier shouting.

"What's wrong with me? Look at the brigade commander!" This time it was Mr. Wang's hoarse voice that reached Liu Chengyi's ears.

I don't know why, Liu Chengyi suddenly felt a little moved, but then he heard Mr. Wang let out another "poof". Apparently, the ash from the explosion was poured into his mouth.

"I'm fine!" Liu Chengyi got up, but at this moment there were two explosions of "boom" and "boom", and the people who had just gotten up fell down again.

However, the blast points of these two cannons were obviously farther away than before, and everyone felt relieved, as they could not hit anyone this time.

But just after the explosion, a soldier shouted, and it was Chen Hanwen.

"What happened? Xiucai, where were you bombed?" Ma Tianfang asked hurriedly.

"Let the falling stone hit my head." Chen Hanwen replied with a grin.

"Twenty, one shot on the gun, it's okay!" Ma Tianfang felt relieved when he heard that Chen Hanwen was only hit by a stone, and comforted Chen Hanwen in a vulgar way.

"You kid, are you going to quack? Are the two cannons equipped with extended fire?" Old Mao Wang's voice rang out.

Yes, when Mr. Wang reminded everyone, everyone noticed that the Japanese artillery fire actually extended.

"The Japanese flares are about to fall!" a soldier shouted, and everyone looked up. Sure enough, only the last flare left by the Japanese army was falling, and it was slowly falling.

"Tell our people to withdraw quickly!" a soldier shouted.

This shout was even faster than Liu Chengyi's. It was not just Liu Chengyi, the brigade commander, who was concerned about the battlefield situation. At this time, the Japanese flare fell, and darkness returned to the world.

But at this moment, all of them heard a "boom" from behind. They subconsciously looked back and saw a "shooting star" rising from the top of the hill that Shang Zhen and the others had grabbed earlier. stand up!

"Fuck! What are you playing for?" Mr. Wang couldn't help but muttered, and everyone was in a daze.

Meteor is just a convenient expression, in fact, it is a flare.

That hilltop was robbed by Shang Zhen and the others. The Japanese no longer used flares, so why did Shang Zhen and the others use flares again?

However, flares are for lighting purposes, and they shoot into the air as fast as a cannonball!

Soon enough, all of them saw the flare flashing across their heads and the sky lighting up above the mountain occupied by the Japanese army!

At this time, everyone looked at the Japanese army. They saw the shadowy figures of the Japanese army on the top of the mountain, and even saw a Japanese army running towards them with guns!

It turned out that the Japanese army was going to take advantage of the darkness to attack them, but this time it was thanks to Shang Zhen and the others that they fired a flare!

"Ouch!" "Ouch!" Two people shouted at the same time.

One was Mr. Wang. What Mr. Wang called was a surprise. Of course, Mr. Wang knew that their little boy Qiao Xiong was following Shang Zhen and the others up the mountain this time.

Qiao Xiong has the best experience in shooting grenades. In fact, the principle of grenades is the same as that of mortars. The only difference is that mortars can shoot farther and have sights.

A small man has a big effect. Seeing this situation, Mr. Wang guessed that Chu Qiaoxiong shot the flare.

The other one named "Ouch" is Liu Chengyi.

Liu Chengyi screamed in surprise. He really didn't expect that there was a gunner among Shang Zhen and his group, and they actually figured out how to manipulate the Japanese mortars!

Gunshots suddenly started. Since the Japanese army was now exposed to the sight of the officers and soldiers of the 337th Brigade, how could they allow the attacking Japanese army to entangle them?

Amidst the chaotic gunfire, some Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. Not to mention the number of Japanese casualties, the Japanese army's attempt to sneak attack in the dark was thwarted.

But the bigger surprise was yet to come. During the gun battle, the people of the 337th Brigade heard another "boom" from behind, and then they saw a white light flashing on the hilltop occupied by the Japanese army. The Japanese light and heavy machine guns that were shouting so loudly went silent at that time!

With the efforts of Shang Zhen and his troops, the Northeast Army, which had been "wandering" in the pass all day, finally snatched a mortar from the Japanese army, which was a rare luxury.
