    "The kid will probably attack in the afternoon, Lao Li, we have to be ready." Zhao Gang put his hands in his sleeves and said to Li Yunlong while stamping his feet.  The winter in Mount Wutai was so cold that he couldn't bear it.

    Li Yunlong looked at the retreating Japanese transport plane in the sky, then smiled and patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and said: "Then we, Old Li, are not afraid. The latest news is that the brigade commander and Commander Xia's troops are coming soon. This time the opposite side  The 114th Division is probably going to be chased and beaten by us."

    "Really?" Zhao Gang went to bed early yesterday and did not receive any news that they were going to support here.

    Li Yunlong said: "The news just arrived, they have already set off, and they will probably arrive in the afternoon." As he said that, he handed the telegram into Zhao Gang's hands.

    Zhao Gang saw the telegram, and a smile suddenly burst out on his face.

    "Okay, that's it. But before that, the little Japs will probably launch a fierce attack. We have to stand the last guard. We can't let down our vigilance and let the little Japs just because the big troops are coming.  The Japanese broke through our defense line," Zhao Gang said.

    Li Yunlong said: "I know, so I didn't tell the commanders and soldiers below. The 189th Regiment and the Guard Regiment were also informed by me and did not spread the news. After all, our morale is now at a high, and we can't stand up to the little devil.  After a wave of attacks, we can wait for reinforcements from the main force.¡±

    "You did the right thing, Lao Li, not to tell the soldiers. Otherwise, the soldiers below will be prone to problems when the tight string is loosened." Zhao Gang said.

    At this time, gunfire came from the position. When the two heard it, they ran towards the position.

    It turned out that some supplies from the Japanese army fell on the hillside of Xiongfeng Ridge, and some soldiers used machine guns to shoot at the Japanese soldiers who were picking up the supplies.

    The Japanese soldiers left some corpses next to the supplies, so they had to give up the supplies.

    "The little devil has almost collected the materials. This is the last time. We are only thinking about collecting the materials within our fire control range." Zhao Gang said.

    Li Yunlong nodded and said: "After collecting the supplies, I'm afraid it's time to attack. Tell the brothers to prepare for battle. The Japs are about to attack."

    Sure enough, an hour later, Japanese troops began to deploy in front of Xiongfeng Ridge.

    This time their momentum was obviously different. When they attacked before, they were stingy with ammunition and didn't even dare to fire their guns.

    But this time they have enough ammunition and are confident.  At this time, the Xiongfeng Ridge in front of them was no longer as insurmountable as before.

    Suematsu Shigeshi has swept away the haze and depression of the past few days. With these weapons, he can be said to be full of confidence at this time, and the Xiongfeng Ridge in front of him is no longer in his eyes.

    "Order the troops to start shelling immediately. After the shelling, the infantry immediately begins to advance. At the same time, the troops are dispatched to continue climbing from the cliff on the side. I don't believe they can take care of the flanks when they encounter such heavy offensive pressure from the front.  "Suematsu Shigeshi said.

    He is very determined to attack this time and wants to eliminate all the enemies on this mountain range before tomorrow night.

    The Japanese artillery unit quickly completed the preparations and began to transport the newly collected artillery shells to the side of the mountain cannon.

    With a roar, the Japanese bombing soon arrived.

    The soldiers stationed at the Xiongfeng Ridge position had already made preparations and hid in the position one after another.

    This time the Japanese artillery bombardment lasted for a full hour.

    After the shelling ended, all the snow in the entire position, including the hillside in front of the position, was basically gone. Burnt soil and gravel, as well as shrapnel from the shells, were scattered everywhere.

    After the bombardment ended, before the smoke cleared, the Japanese troops below began to charge.

    "Charge!!!" the Japanese commander pointed the command knife forward.

    Behind him, groups of Japanese soldiers began to advance toward the top of the mountain through the snow.

    This time they launched an offensive that was more ferocious than any previous one.

    Dozens of heavy machine guns were gathered by the Japanese army and set up below Xiongfeng Ridge to suppress fire from a long distance at the Xiongfeng Ridge highland in the distance.

    The dense rain of bullets splashed on the position, hitting the soil and rocks, and the sound echoed throughout the position.

    ¡°There¡¯s really plenty of ammunition.¡±?Ah, he was beaten so fiercely!  "Li Yunlong said, looking through the shooting hole at the advancing Japanese troops below.

    "Everyone, get into combat positions immediately. If anyone gives in, I'll be the first to kill him!" Li Yunlong shouted and began to command the troops to prepare for battle.

    The Japanese troops were obviously well prepared for this attack.  Behind the Japanese vanguard, there were many people holding long sticks, and at the end of the long sticks were bundles of explosives.

    These explosive packets can be stuffed into their shooting holes on the wall, thereby destroying the strong positions on Xiongfeng Ridge.  At the same time, the number of grenade launchers of the Japanese army has also increased significantly. The purpose is to enhance the suppression of firepower within a short distance and at the same time focus on attacking their light and heavy machine gun firepower.

    In addition, the Japanese troops rushing in front also used wooden boards wrapped with iron sheets to act as shields to block the fierce machine gun fire on the hillside.

    These shields are so large that three Japanese soldiers need to lift them up at the same time. However, if such shields are erected, they can indeed avoid a lot of rifle fire.  As for the firepower of the machine gun, the light machine gun is okay, but the iron sheet is basically unable to withstand the large-caliber bullets of the heavy machine gun.

    The Japanese army's advance was not very fast, but its momentum was extraordinary.  Every time they walked forward a certain distance, they would yell "board" and at the same time step on the snow, making a consistent muffled sound intentionally.

    "Heavy machine gun, beat these little devils to death when the time comes. As for the grenades, they have been brought over. I don't believe their shields can still block the grenades." Li Yunlong roared.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
