Age of Rebirth

At about eleven o'clock that night, under the strict supervision of Commander Yamashita Fufumi, the exhausted and half-dead Japanese artillery unit finally hastily built the artillery position. When the Japanese artillery commander reported the situation, it was like working as a coolie for three years. Tired and muddy.

All the commanders of the Japanese army did not approve of launching an attack at night. The reason is very simple. The imperial army has never been used to fighting at night, but looking at the blood-red eyeballs of Fengwen Yamashita, no one dared to touch this mold, and was furious. His Excellency the Commander under him, he doesn't mind sending a loud slap to the face of any general, this is a lunatic character.

Although Yamashita was impatient, he did not lose his mind. The reason why he insisted on launching an attack at night was that he believed that the Chinese defenders at this time were tired and their defenses were lax. Explain to the generals under him that the majesty of the commander is to make his subordinates unable to see through his intentions.

At [-]:[-], at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain, where the Japanese artillery positions were located, clusters of flames erupted and deafening loud noises broke the silence of Duyun City in an instant. Groups of artillery guns with long tails Flames flew across the sky and landed on the position of the Xiyunfeng Independent Brigade, and the Japanese attack began.

Jin Baozhu, sergeant squad leader of the 19st Battalion [-]nd Company of the [-]rd Regiment of the Independent Brigade guarding the top of the mountain, is from Anhui. Before the .[-]th Group Army sequence, on the Songhu battlefield, they fought a few tough battles with the Japanese. No one knows the number of Japanese offensives better than him. [

The little devil at the foot of the mountain has been noisy and busy for most of the night, with the lights and the sound of motors. The situation is completely different from the previous few days.I'm afraid that the little devil is going to attack tonight, and Jin Baozhu will take his heart. His post is the most forward and prominent part of the entire West Cloud Peak. He immediately called the battalion command post with his judgment.

The battalion commander who answered the phone became angry as soon as he heard it.He opened his mouth and scolded, "You fucked Jin Baozhu. There was no order from the top, and you just fucked a big soldier, and you still know the time of the Japanese attack. You are lying about the military situation and disturbing the morale of the army. I will kill you," said After finishing, Dangdang threw the phone on the cannon case.

Jin Baozhu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to speak. In the Central Army, the chief's words are full of promises.After another half an hour, the little devil at the foot of the mountain was still, but Jin Baozhu could see it through the binoculars.In the woods at the foot of the mountain, there seemed to be a dark reflection of the helmet. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but there was nothing.

Jin Baozhu was worried, so he handed the binoculars to other soldiers, looked at five or six people in a row, and said that they didn't find anything, and Jin Baozhu was in trouble.But intuition told him that tonight.The little devil's behavior is abnormal, thinking.Called the battalion headquarters again.

"The battalion headquarters? I'm Jin Baozhu, please tell the battalion commander that the little devil is going to launch an attack tonight." The battalion commander who answered the phone was furious, "You fuck Jin Baozhu, Lao Tzu If I don’t kill you, your shit won’t stop, right? Well, you wait, I’ll send the supervising team.”

While cursing, the brigade commander Chi Zifeng stepped in and asked casually, "Are you angry with that one?" The battalion commander saw that the brigade commander had come to the forward headquarters in person, and they were all old bosses for many years, so he didn't put down the phone. He replied: "Brigade Commander, he is a leading soldier at the front of the army. I have to say that the little devil is going to attack tonight. It has happened twice. I am training him."

Chi Zifeng's face changed. An ordinary soldier risked his beheading and reported the enemy's situation twice in a row. Is the situation true?" Jin Baozhu was taken aback, did the brigade commander speak in person?

I didn't care too much, and said eagerly: "Reporting to the brigade commander, I am Jin Baozhu, the commander of the forward post. According to my observation just now, the Japanese army is acting abnormally and will launch an attack tonight." Chi Zifeng asked after a moment of pondering: " Jin Baozhu, what do you say?" "Brigade Commander, the little devil's attack method is to use heavy artillery fire to bombard our position first, and then the infantry to charge, please order the brigade commander, all brothers in the position, immediately enter the artillery Holes and hidden parts, it will be too late to play again."

Without hesitation, Chi Zifeng immediately ordered the chief of staff beside him, "Convey my order immediately. Except for the guard post, all people in the surface fortifications should enter the hiding place and the anti-blasting hole to prevent the Japanese artillery bombardment," the battalion commander said hesitantly. "Brigade Commander, Jin Baozhu is just a big soldier, so what he said is accurate?" Chi Zifeng scolded angrily, "You know what, Jin Baozhu is one of the few soldiers in our brigade who came down from the Songhu battlefield. If so, it’s more accurate than you.”

That is to say, in the past ten minutes, groups of Japanese guns fell on all the positions of Xiyun Peak. The battalion commander who hid in the concealed department watched his headquarters with his own eyes. Flying into the air like a blur, he said to Chi Zifeng who was hiding together with lingering fear: "Brigade Commander, thanks to that Jin Baozhu, otherwise, both of us would be finished."

Chi Zifeng snorted and said, "It's not just us two, if there is no Jin Baozhu, the brothers in our brigade will have at least 1000 casualties, and when the little devil's attack is repelled, that Jin Baozhu will come to see me," the voice said. As soon as it landed, another group of cannons flew over, the ground shook, the shelter crowded with more than a dozen people, there was a burst of shaking, and the soil on the ceiling fell one after another, in people's ears, it was like several copper gongs beating again.

A few words from Jin Baozhu saved the lives of more than 1000 people in the Independent Brigade. Otherwise, the soldiers of the Central Army who were exposed in the surface fortifications would definitely suffer heavy casualties under the fierce Japanese artillery bombardment.

Fengwen Yamashita stood at the foot of Xiyun Peak, looking at the main peak of Xiyun Peak like a rain of fire pouring on his head, surrounded by dozens of senior military officers, the bursts of flames reflected by the explosion illuminated the resolute and murderous look of His Excellency the Commander Face, no one knows what he is thinking.

The violent shelling by the Japanese army had awakened Guo Huawen in Duyun City long ago. He immediately called the headquarters of the Xiyunfeng Independent Brigade. The staff officer who answered the phone told him that the brigade commander Chi Zifeng was not at the brigade headquarters. Going to the front line, Guo Huawen dropped the phone angrily. On the one hand, he was worried about Chi Zifeng’s comfort, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for the troops. The Japanese army launched an attack at night, which was completely beyond his expectations. The independent brigade suffered heavy casualties during this fierce shelling. Not small.

In another private house in Duyun City, Chu Tian handed over the prepared telegram to the telegraph operator, "Master, the Fengwen Subsidiary at the foot of the mountain will launch an artillery attack on West Cloud Peak at exactly [-]:[-] tonight." The telegram was very short, and after a while, Tang Qiuli called back with a few words, "Yamashita Fengwen can't wait, and will report the situation of the Duyun battle at any time."

The violent shelling lasted for an hour and a half, with tens of thousands of shells falling on the main position of Xiyun Peak. Xiyun Peak was almost razed to the ground. Cut, lying there in a mess, the jagged boulder was blown into several pieces and lifted off the spot. The Japanese artillery unit, according to the order of Yamashita Fengwen, finished shooting about half of the No. 15 army's transport unit. the cannon.

Yamashita Fengwen was determined to take down the Xiyunfeng position before dawn. He did not hesitate to fire more than half of the cannons, just to cause heavy damage to the independent brigade defenders. The intensity of the shelling will be more than double that of the current one, but in Yamashita Fengwen's opinion, it is enough.

After the bombardment, the Japanese army launched a main division force and launched an attack on the Xiyunfeng position. In the night, the Japanese soldiers howled like wolves, which made people feel chills. Looking down from Xiyunfeng, everywhere The figures of Japanese soldiers are climbing up the steep hillside.

Chi Zifeng drilled out of the hiding place, and ordered loudly: "The troops entered the fortification, the little devils are here, give me a hard beat up on these bastards, pay attention, no one is allowed to shoot without my order." I don't know when, Holding a Czech-style light machine gun in his arms, he looked at the wriggling figure down the mountain with bright eyes, and placed a dozen grenades beside him. [

The chief of staff said worriedly: "Brigade Commander, the frontier is too dangerous. Please go back to the brigade headquarters. You are commanding thousands of brothers. You must not put yourself in danger." , don’t kill the little devil hard, I feel aggrieved, so, chief of staff, you go back to the brigade headquarters to command, if I am killed, you will take over my command, by the way, report the situation of Xiyunfeng to the commander , he's thinking about it."

The Japanese soldiers had already climbed to a place less than 100 meters away from the forward position. Because of the steepness of the mountain of Xiyun Peak, the Japanese soldiers crowded into piles and got closer. The Japanese soldiers who climbed a steep slope were less than 50 meters away. Yes, Chi Zifeng slammed the trigger of the light machine gun, and a tongue of flame shot out. With the sound of the gun, the Xiyunfeng position was fully revived in an instant.

Condescending, taking advantage of the convenience of the location, the dense rain was all splashed on the heads of the Japanese soldiers who were climbing up. The first wave of Japanese soldiers, almost without any reaction, became the liveliness of the soldiers of the Independent Brigade. The target, the screaming Japanese soldier who fell down, was already a corpse at the bottom.

The Japanese soldiers who were following behind did not know what was going on ahead, and kept coming up. The formation of the charge became chaotic at that time. Fortunately, the clever Japanese commander found that the firepower of the defenders was too fierce. Going up is also death, and going down the steep slope can temporarily avoid condescending children.

After shouting, all the Japanese soldiers hid under the steep slope. They finally took a breather without the deadly rain above their heads. Don't worry, blow up these **** little devils."
