The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 234 Remembrance of Massacre (On Today's Special Day)
After the monk and his company of guards stationed at the fortifications of Lijiapo, nearly 10 minutes later, the Yamazaki Brigade arrived at Lijiapo.

The pursuit along the way, coupled with the humiliation of the monk leading the guard company and turning around from time to time, exhausted Yamazaki Zhihei's last patience.

The old devil Yamazaki has only one thought now:
Destroy the fleeing Eighth Route Army in front of you.

Until approaching Lijiapo, when he saw Lijiapo's unique terrain from a distance through the telescope, Yamazaki, who had a keen sense of military sense, saw his eyes light up, and he realized that his opportunity had come.

The original anger gradually disappeared and turned into excitement and excitement.

The adjutant at the side was still a little puzzled, and reminded: "Sir, it seems that this group of Tubalu are not planning to escape, and they seem to want to use this hill in front of them to confront our army."

"Yaoxi!" Yamazaki nodded.

The adjutant said: "The terrain of the hill in front of me is very strange, it is just a large slope that protrudes in vain. The scouts arranged in advance by the subordinates reported after the scouting that there is a cliff on the north side of the hill, and the main force is not there at all. It may be possible to go up, but there are cliffs on the east and west sides, it is difficult to climb rocks, and the only way to climb this hill is the relatively gentle south slope in front of you."

"Your Excellency Zhong Zuo, look, the southern slope in front of you is also narrow in the second half near the top of the slope. I'm afraid only more than 100 people are allowed to attack at a time. Such a dangerous place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Eighth Route Army is holding on to the danger. We want to take the front. I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble."

"Sir, shall we transfer immediately?"

"Transfer?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "Why transfer?"

The adjutant said: "Your Excellency, Zhong Zuo, it is obvious that the group of Eighth Route Army on the top of the hillside has bad intentions. In the previous sneak attack, they deliberately provoked our army, and they seemed to be luring us along the way. On the hillside, they want to take advantage of this hillside to hold on to the danger, hold back our army, and wait for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to encircle them."

"If our troops don't move immediately, the main force of the Eighth Route Army may soon be encircled."

After the adjutant finished speaking, his original intention was to remind Yamazaki, but only then did he realize that the captain's face was full of confident smiles.

Yamazaki pointed at Li Jiapo with a smile, and said: "The ultimate goal of our army going deep this time is to find the arsenal, or field hospital and headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and destroy them in one fell swoop, angering the main forces of the Eighth Route Army. Hold tight, contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and wait for the imperial forces to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."

"One of the key points is the dangerous terrain used for defense."

"Haven't you discovered that the hill in front of you is the best choice for our army?"

"The hill in front of me!" The adjutant was stunned, and then reacted, "Yes, if we can occupy the hill in front of us and build defenses on the top of the hill, it will be difficult to break through the defense with the sparse firepower of the Eighth Route Army. It will definitely hold the Eighth Route Army for a long time until the main force of the empire encircles them."

"This is a tactic of blooming in the middle." Yamazaki said confidently.

"Using this hill, it is not difficult to hold down the tens of thousands of the main force of the Eighth Route Army with hundreds of troops from our Yamazaki Brigade."

"So the most important thing right now is to wipe out the Eighth Route Army at the top of the slope and occupy this hill."

"Hi!"

Yamazaki, who had made up his mind, did not hesitate any longer, and immediately issued a combat deployment, preparing to attack Lijiapo in one fell swoop.

The history of the script repeated itself, only the two sides seemed to reverse positions.

This time, the monk led the guard company to defend with the help of Li Jiapo, while the Yamazaki Brigade was the main attacker.

Lijiapo has steep slopes on three sides and only one side can be used for attack. The unique terrain soon made the old devil Yamazaki suffer.

More than 100 devils crowded together on the narrow south slope section of Lijiapo. Just when they emerged from the top of the slope, they were greeted with fierce fire from the guard company on the Lijiapo fortification.

Because the fortifications built by the third platoon in the central area of ​​Lijiapo are mainly underground fortifications, which are lower than the ground, and coupled with the towering terrain of Lijiapo, Yamazaki's scouts are located at the bottom of Lijiapo, which is difficult to detect.

It wasn't until the devil's attacking troops rushed up that they realized that the guard company had already built fortifications and was ready to counterattack.

The devil suffered a secret loss, and the first wave of attack was directly repelled by machine gun fire, leaving dozens of corpses behind, and hurriedly retreated to the south slope.

On Lijiapo.

The monk knew very well that this was just a tentative attack by the devils, so the firepower poured out just now, and he even ordered that no heavy machine guns be used.

Only the firepower of machine guns and rifles made the devil's first attack retreat.

Yamazaki at the bottom of the slope was quite depressed. Logically speaking, he chased the Eighth Route Army all the way to Lijiapo. The time it took for the Eighth Route Army to build the fortification here was only about 10 minutes.

……

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has built quite strong fortifications in the central area of ​​the top of the slope. After we rushed to the top of the slope, we didn't see half of the Eighth Route Army above the ground. The fire coverage of our offensive forces."

A Japanese squad leader who had been repulsed by the guard company from the top of the slope reported to Yamazakihui.

...What is going on in front of me?

In about 10 minutes, is it enough for the Eighth Route Army who fled all the way to quickly build sufficient fortifications on this hill?
The adjutant speculated: "Sir, Tuba Road seems to have been prepared a long time ago, they have built a fortification here early in the morning."

Yamazaki said angrily: "No matter what, we must knock down the hill in front of us before we can carry out our follow-up mid-blooming tactics."

"Order the artillery to get ready, the vanguard will try to attack again, cover the artillery and scouts to observe closely, and after locking the position of the area where the Eighth Route Army's fortifications are located, the attack will be suspended, and the artillery fire will be directly covered, so that the Eighth Route Army's fortifications will be completely destroyed. blow up."

"Hi!"

A new round of attacks by the devils was launched soon.

"Company commander, the devil is coming up again."

The monk laughed loudly and said, "I'm afraid that the little devil won't dare to come up, because he won't be able to fight hard enough! Brothers, let's put the devil a little further away before firing!"

"Yes!"

A team that was the first to attack by the Japanese army quickly passed the south slope to the top of Lijiapo slope, and then advanced about ten meters.

Originally sweeping away the empty ground, the soldiers of the guard company suddenly stood up from the trench fortifications, raised their guns and fired at the devils who climbed to the top of the slope.

The monk personally held a light machine gun and knocked out four or five devils with short bursts.

After a burst of fire suppression, the devils retreated hastily after dropping more than 20 corpses again.

"Company commander, why did the devil suddenly withdraw?"

The monk pondered and said: "The devil's attack this time is not as good as the previous attack! It was already a tentative attack before, this time it was definitely premeditated, forget it, let him care so much, as long as the devil withdraws and sends an order, all People immediately hid in the artillery fortifications."

"Yes!"

boom boom --

The top of Lijiapo slope, the central area, was completely submerged by the sound of gunfire.

On the south slope, near the top of the slope, the devil fired more than a dozen grenade launchers at once. Under the south slope, the devil's four [-]-type [-]mm mortars and four [-]-type infantry guns roared wildly. Bombard Lijiapo with curved fire.

The devil's shells fell towards the top of Lijiapo slope as if they didn't want money.

A row of chiefs covered their ears, shrunk obediently in the bomb defense fortifications of the cat's ear hole, and even pulled the temporary wooden door on the right side of the cat's ear hole, and the light in the bomb defense hole dimmed for a while.

"Company commander, this little devil is really rich! It's been almost 10 minutes since the shells were smashed?"

yelled loudly.

The monk almost roared in response: "Who said it wasn't? His grandma's. I really want to snatch all the devil's cannons and shells."

The first platoon leader couldn't help being happy, and now he was more concerned about another matter, "I said the third platoon leader, is the cat's ear hole artillery defense you built going to work? The devil's artillery fire is so fierce, don't put it on The cat's ear hole was blown up, and we were buried alive in it, even if I die, I will die on the way to charge, I can't die so aggrieved."

"Bah, you crow's mouth!" The third platoon leader scolded: "I used to have a squad of engineer brothers under my command, and we knew exactly how deep the anti-gun holes were dug and how large the caliber of artillery bombardment could be blocked. , when the devil's cannon is pulled over, I have a score in my heart."

"Don't worry, the blast hole in front of me, when I commanded the comrades to do soil work, I told them to dig [-] centimeters deep. In addition, this Lijiapo was originally a hill, and the soil was relatively hard. After the fight, as long as we hide in the cat's ear hole artillery fortification, the little devil will have nothing to do with us."

"Not to mention the shells of the devils, even if the bombers of the devils come, our anti-aircraft fortifications will still ignore him."

Hearing this, the platoon leader was relieved, and laughed loudly: "Then I can feel relieved, but it's a pity, there are so many shells, it's all fucking blind."

The shelling continued.

The soldiers of the guard company hid firmly in the Maoerdong artillery fortifications. When the third platoon leader ordered the construction of the Maoerdong artillery fortifications, he also ingeniously made a wooden door for each artillery fortification. It was completely blocked, and there was a wooden door on the right. Devil shells came and pulled the wooden door shut. The soldiers shrank tightly in the anti-bunker hole, and I stood still despite the wild bombardment outside.

At the bottom of the slope, Yamazaki, who directed the artillery to continue the bombardment, was full of confidence.

One after another news came from the south slope:

"Ninety percent of the shells hit the target area."

"The fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army in the central area of ​​the slope top have been completely covered by artillery fire."

"The artillery coverage has lasted 15 minutes."

……

Listening to the report, Yamazaki nodded. Confidently, he believed that the Eighth Route Army on the top of the slope was almost finished after being covered by artillery fire for so long. As for the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army, they should have collapsed long ago, and it is better to save some shells. Well, we have to save it to deal with the main force of the Eighth Route Army!

……

Brigade.

Listening to the gunfire that lasted for more than ten minutes from the direction of Lijiapo.

The faces of the brigade commander, political commissar, and chief of staff were all solemn.

The abundance of shells and the number of artillery equipped by this Yamazaki brigade exceeded everyone's expectations.

This is an elite Japanese brigade with additional firepower configuration.

But at the moment, there is only one guard company stationed on Lijiapo.

The brigade commander and the political commissar are actually very emotional now. They feel that Kong Jie had the foresight a few days ago to station his own guard company on the front line in advance.

Otherwise, this Yamazaki Brigade is very likely to break through the first-line sky by mistake, and then threaten the arsenal and field hospital. By then, the loss of the Eighth Route Army will be too great.

"No matter what, Monk Wei and the others must be saved!"

The brigade commander and the others dare not imagine what kind of disaster the guard company led by Comrade Wei Dayong would suffer under such fierce artillery fire.

Such a steel-like team dared to take the Yamazaki brigade with a guard company, and they must not be allowed to sacrifice on Lijiapo.

The political commissar sighed: "Monk Wei is Kong Jie's bodyguard. Kong Jie has a deep affection for Monk Wei and treats him like a brother."

"We can fully imagine how angry Kong Jie would be if Comrade Wei Dayong and the others died on Lijiapo!"

"This kid is very different from before, plus the current independent regiment is strong and strong, I think Kong Jie will even tear up the entire Yamazaki brigade in order to avenge Monk Wei and the others."

The brigade commander nodded in deep agreement, and then asked, "Which teams from our brigade have rushed over?"

The chief of staff replied: "Brigade commander, the [-]st Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment, including the Xinyi Regiment and other regiments near Lijiapo, have all encircled in the direction of Lijiapo. Now the Yamazaki Brigade is already on our cutting board. Meat, even if you want to run away, you can't run away."

"Where's the independent regiment?" asked the brigade commander, "The independent regiment is not far from Lijiapo, so it's too late to set off now."

"Brigade Commander, do you mean to let the independent regiment go?"

The brigade commander nodded, and said: "I understand Kong Jie's character, he is very similar to Li Yunlong in this respect, both of them have revenge, especially for little devils, this time the guards of the independent regiment blew up the first-line sky , guarded the arsenal and the field hospital, and dragged the entire Yamazaki brigade to Lijiapo."

"Comrades of the guard company, I don't know what's going on with the current casualties. Naturally, the independent regiment will take revenge for the great revenge of the independent regiment!"

The political commissar nodded and said, "That's the truth. I have the same opinion as the brigade commander."

"However, several other regiments, including the heads of the two major regiments, are asking for a fight. How can we respond to this?" asked the chief of staff.

The brigade commander scolded: "Fart reply, tell them, if their guard company has the ability to fight against the Japanese elite brigade, I will send them too!"

"If you don't have the ability, just watch from the back, block all the intersections, and don't let me let this Yamazaki brigade go."

"Okay!" The chief of staff responded with a smile, and turned to convey the order.

"Political Commissar, it seems that the Lijiapo battle is getting more and more exciting, let's also rush to the Lijiapo Frontier Observation Station to see the situation!"

"Okay, brigade commander, I also want to see the heroic combat performance of our guard company comrades."

……

"Old Kong, let me tell you what the hell did you do? Why are you coming back now? In the direction of Lijiapo ahead, all the regiments are vying for the task of attacking the Yamazaki Brigade. Didn't you hear any news?"

Kong Jie just returned from Xinzhuang, and was scolded by Li Yunlong as soon as he came back.

Realizing what was going on, Kong Jie scolded back: "I said, Lao Li, why are you so anxious? I am the head of the independent regiment, and you are a deputy. Aren't you the emperor not in a hurry and the eunuchs in a hurry?"

Li Yunlong said: "Old Kong, don't give me this trick. If you can't take Li Jiapo's main attack mission, I will underestimate you from the bottom of my heart."

"You say you are not active in the war, you have brain problems, and the commanders are scrambling to eat meat. Don't make trouble to the end, you kid, and you don't even have a mouthful of soup."

Kong Jiele said, "What's the rush? Didn't our political commissar go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting?"

Li Yunlong scolded: "You still have the nerve to say, the sour scholar of the political commissar, he went to the brigade headquarters to grab the main attack task, can he grab it?"

"If he can grab it..."

"What's the matter?" Kong Jie asked.

Li Yunlong said angrily: "I will give you a part-time job for nothing."

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Haha, Lao Li, then we've made an agreement."

Before the words were finished, political commissar Zhao Gang hurriedly entered the room from the outside, his face was full of joy: "Old Kong, Lao Li, great joy, the brigade headquarters has given the task of attacking the Yamazaki Brigade to our independent regiment."

Li Yunlong: "..."

…………

The parties quickly fell into place over time.

The main forces of the regiments of the Eighth Route Army dispatched a total of nearly 2 people to completely encircle the Yamazaki Brigade in the direction of Lijiapo from all directions.

The brigade commander and the political commissar have arrived at the hidden frontier observation post one kilometer away from Lijiapo. Through the telescope, you can have a panoramic view of Lijiapo's battle here.

Of course, the situation inside the fortifications built by the guard company on the top of Lijiapo slope, in the central area, is naturally invisible.

"Brigade Commander, the devil's bombardment is completely over, but there is no movement on the Lijiapo. Tell me, Comrade Wei Dayong and the others will..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The brigade commander shouted: "Monk Wei was brought out by Kong Jie. Kong Jie has been cunning these days. How could he let his brother sacrifice on the Lijiapo?"

"Where's the independent group? What does Kong Jie do for food? Hasn't he brought anyone over yet?"

Just as he was talking, the chief of staff who put down his binoculars said, "Brigade Commander, the Independent Regiment arrived first, but according to the report of the communications soldier, Kong Jie only sent a battalion, led by Li Yunlong, the deputy head of the regiment."

"One battalion!" The brigade commander frowned, "To deal with the Yamazaki Brigade, only one battalion was sent over. Does Kong Jie look down on this devil? Or does he think too much of Li Yunlong's commanding ability?"

But the matter has come to this point, the brigade commander can only say: "I can't control that much, since that boy Li Yunlong is here, let him prepare to take the troops, the situation in the guard company may not be good."

"Yes!"

…………

Down the Li family slope.

The gunfire gradually ceased.

"Reporting sir, according to the information transmitted from the forward observation post, after the bombardment ended, there was a dead silence on Lijiapo. It is speculated that the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army should have been destroyed by our artillery fire. As for the casualties of the Eighth Route Army, it is still unclear."

"Yaoxi!" Yamazaki said confidently: "The hills in front of us are indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a premise that when the attacking troops do not have sufficient artillery fire, this group of Eighth Route Army underestimated the firepower superiority of our imperial troops. Even if they built fortifications, they would still be doomed."

Just as he was talking, scouts arrived and reported in a hurry: "Sir, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has encircled Lijiapo from all sides, and now our army's retreat has been completely cut off."

Hearing this, the adjutant looked worried and said: "Your Excellency, Zhong Zuo, it seems that the situation is not good now."

Yamazaki laughed and said, "Really? But in my opinion, this is our opportunity. The main forces of the Eighth Route Army have been successfully attracted by us. The next thing to do is to break through Lijiapo in one fell swoop, and then quickly Repair the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army on the top of the mountain, and in turn rely on this hill, hold on to the danger, and block the attacking Eighth Route Army!"

The adjutant nodded, "But, Your Excellency, isn't this too risky?"

"No, on the contrary. There is a saying in the Chinese Art of War that we should go all the way and fight with our backs. The more adventurous we are, the more determined we will be to inspire the warriors of our empire to win."

"Our army will take advantage of the hills in front of us to contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and use the tactics of blooming in the middle to completely eradicate the main force of the Eighth Route Army and become famous in one battle!"

"Mr. Xiaolin, this is an adventure, but it is also a great opportunity."

"Hi!" replied the adjutant.

"Pass it on, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has encircled our army. Right now, our army's only hope of survival is to capture the hill in front of us, hold on to the danger, and wait for reinforcements."

"Time is very tight for us."

"The next attack on the hill in front of you is a decisive battle. Everyone does not have to hold back. The artillery squadron keeps up at the same time. All teams line up on the south slope in an orderly manner. After the vanguard team breaks through the Eighth Route Army's position on the hill, all the main forces immediately enter the fortifications. .”

"Hi!"

…………

"Brigade Commander, the Devils have deployed all their forces on the south slope, and it looks like they are ready to launch a decisive battle. No, the Lijiapo position may be lost." The chief of staff said worriedly, putting down his binoculars.

The brigade commander asked, "Where's Li Yunlong? Why hasn't this kid arrived yet?"

"I'm on my way here, I'm afraid it will take about 5 minutes."

"Five minutes is too long. Once the Yamazaki Brigade breaks through Lijiapo, the devils will definitely hold on. With Lijiapo's terrain and the devil's artillery advantage, it will be difficult for us to take down the Yamazaki Brigade. "

The brigade commander also became a little anxious, "Send cavalry orders to urge Li Yunlong's troops to speed up."

"Yes!"

"Brigade Commander, the devils are attacking!"

... "Brigadier, it's the guard company, the comrades of the guard company, they didn't sacrifice, they are still there!"

The brigade commander and political commissar who heard the call from the forward observation post quickly raised their binoculars to observe. Sure enough, a large number of heads suddenly popped up on the empty ground in the central area of ​​Lijiapo.

Monk Wei led the guard company and reappeared on the fortifications.

This is a miracle!
Also shocking!

Under the heavy bombardment of the devil's artillery, the guard company was still there.

And what is even more shocking is still behind, just after the vast majority of the troops of the Yamazaki Brigade have been deployed on the slower south slope to attack Lijiapo, the vanguard has already launched an attack.

Suddenly there was a loud noise between the heaven and the earth, or a loud noise composed of multiple sounds.

The brigade commander, political commissar, and chief of staff observed at the frontier observation station.

Li Yunlong and others, who came together towards Li Jiapo and could already see the outline of Li Jiapo, were stunned.

The big explosion that spread rapidly along most of the south slope of Lijiapo made a bang, most of the south slope was directly sent into the air, and together with more than 200 devils arranged in an orderly manner on the south slope, they were submerged in the anomaly. In the spectacular big explosion.

Take the massacre as a memorial, and respect the dead souls of China...
