    "Okay, be quiet." Brigadier Chen said, "Can you guys be more civilized? Each of you is like a wolf snatching food. Let the Independent Group and the New Second Group go this time, with reservations. The two of them  In the first two days of the group, we basically didn¡¯t have any fights with the Japs, so let¡¯s leave this task to them.¡±

    "Hey, Brigadier, you are really discerning. This task is given to our independent regiment. Needless to say, the 114th Division of the little devil will definitely not be able to cross Xiongfeng Ridge." The speaker was a big and powerful man.  When he spoke, his face was full of news, as if he had found a treasure.

    "Li Yunlong, don't take advantage here and act like a good boy. If your regiment can't stop the 114th Division, you don't have to come back." General Chen said angrily.

    When Xia Yang heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but look at Captain Li.  I thought that I actually met Captain Li Yunlong. I wonder when I will meet Chu Yunfei of the Jinsui Army.

    "Brigadier, don't worry. If we can't stop the 114th Division of the Japs, then our old Li will probably die on the battlefield. You even saved the bullets to kill me." Li Yunlong patted himself at this time  The chest said.

    "Master, let me go over here. Our Second Guard Regiment fought positional warfare with the Japs two days ago, so we have experience." It was Li Jiajing of the Second Guard Regiment who spoke.

    "There is also our 189th Regiment. We are familiar with Xiongfeng Ridge. Our regiment has conducted mountain warfare exercises there before, and now there are still some defensive positions left over from the exercises." Bai Mingxuan from the 189th Regiment of the Fourth Brigade said.  .

    "Okay, first come first served, just your two regiments and the two regiments of friendly forces will block the advance of the Japanese 114th Division," Xia Yang said, "You have about three or four days to prepare for the battle. The Japanese 114th Division  The group may arrive at Xiongfeng Ridge in four or five days."

    "Yes, Master." The two said at the same time.

    After receiving their mission, the four leaders directly took their equipment and supplies and headed towards Xiongfeng Ridge.

    Xiongfeng Ridge is about a day¡¯s journey from here.  The terrain there is dangerous, and it is also the only place to cross the entire Wutai Mountain. If the Japanese army wants to pass through Wutai Mountain relatively easily and reach Longxugou, they need to pass through here.  Otherwise, you will need to take a long detour.

    The total number of these groups is 6,000.  Their mission is simple: block the Japanese 114th Division from crossing Xiongfeng Ridge until Xia Yang and the others defeat or even annihilate the Japanese 16th Division.

    Speaking of this mission, the most difficult part is that you don¡¯t know when Xia Yang and the others will be able to annihilate the Japanese 16th Division here.

    It might be a week, it might be a month.  If it takes a week, that's fine, but if it takes a month, then all of their regiments will probably die in the blocking position.

    But even so, they still chose to go to Xiongfeng Ridge to block it.  Bai Mingxuan believed that with the dangerous terrain of Xiongfeng Ridge, they could sustain themselves for a long enough time.

    This time, the strength of their four regiments, plus the guerrillas, totaled 6,000.  The Japanese army they had to face had more than 20,000 people, the strength of an integrated division.

    Yoshio Shinozuka has been in a bad mood these days. First, two days ago, the 19th Brigade in the Mount Wutai area was wiped out.  Now the commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Imago, has backed down again and plans to evacuate from the Wutai Mountain area. If he hadn't threatened a military court, I am afraid that the 16th Division would have been on the way to retreat now.

    On the other side, their attacks on Zhaojiagou and Taiping Town did not make much progress.

    Until now, they have only broken through the enemy's outer line of defense. The two highlands inside, as well as the Zhaojiagou stronghold, are still in the hands of the enemy.

    For a week, their troops attacked almost day and night, making huge sacrifices.  There were six to seven hundred casualties alone.

    However, they did not relax their attack, because he knew that the enemy was gritting their teeth and holding on, just to see how long they could hold on.

    Shi Zhijie stood on the restored turret, and from here he used binoculars to observe the high ground occupied by the Japanese army in the distance.

    Compared with the previous position, nearly half a meter has been shaved off by Japanese artillery shells.  The entire hillside is full of craters left by Japanese artillery shells.

    ?Then the Japanese army came to take advantage of the wind direction and used poison gas bombs against the defenders on the first line of defense.  Although they were equipped with gas masks, the Japanese army still found an opportunity to attack.  Because there was really no way to continue to hold on, the soldiers of the 122nd Regiment could only retreat to the second line of defense.

     In front of that position is the second line of defense of the 122nd Regiment.  This place is located on the high ground on the side of the road. As long as we attack Zhaojiagou, we must capture this position.

    Compared with the high ground of the first line of defense, the height here is higher and the slope is steeper.  The Japanese army had tried to attack three times before, but they all left a pile of corpses on the ground without making any progress. They could not even get close to the position within 30 meters.

    "The latest information is that the Japs have transferred an armored brigade from Datong, with a total of more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles. We have to find a way to deal with it." Wang Zichen, the staff officer of the 122th Regiment, said to Shi Zhijie.

    Hearing this, Shi Zhijie said: "Don't they know we have anti-tank rocket launchers?"

    Wang Zichen said: "I guess they don't know, or they don't take our tank rocket launchers seriously."

    Shi Zhijie said: "Transfer the rocket launcher team over. The master's office has issued a batch of protective clothing to us. If the kid uses gas bombs again, we don't have to be afraid at all."

    Wang Zichen said: "Okay, I'll transfer the rocket launcher team over right away." At this point, he suddenly thought of the situation over there in Taiping Town, and said: "By the way, group leader, over there on the 8th Road in Taiping Town, do you want to give me some help?"  They support a bazooka squad?"

    Shi Zhijie thought for a while and said, "Tell one of them to us. They also helped us a lot in the past two days. They are all brothers who live and die together. Please help us if you can."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese artillery bombardment began again.

    The whistling shells landed on the high ground ahead in the blink of an eye.  The soldiers on the high ground immediately shouted and drilled into the cat-ear holes in the trench.

    As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the Japanese troops pressed over and launched their fourth attack on the high ground.

    Outside Longxugou, the Japanese defense positions have been basically completed. They have formed a defense line of more than ten kilometers in this area.

    They plan to hold back Xia Yang's Fourth Division and the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army here, waiting for the arrival of the 114th Division.

    On the road, I can only update one chapter, and I will try to make up for it tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
