    Xia Yang nodded firmly and said, "Yes, all soldiers who fought for the liberation of the people and resisted foreign aggression will be commemorated by that stone tablet."

    As he said this, Xia Yang's eyes filled with tears.

    "Military, don't cry, keep talking, we are happy to listen." When the other soldiers saw that Xia Yang was emotional, they hurriedly said.

    Xia Yang wiped away his tears and continued to "brag" these soldiers.

    In the dark night, these soldiers listened carefully to all the bright future Xia Yang said.  That was too dreamy. They couldn't even dream of imagining such a scene, so they all knew that Xia Yang was bragging.  But they like to listen, and Xia Yang also likes to tell them this.

    The next morning, Xia Yang and the others were awakened by the sound of exploding artillery shells.

    The Japanese shelling began, and it was only six o'clock in the morning.

    The air wave generated by the explosion quickly swept away the mist on the hillside.  The original white mist was replaced by the black smoke produced by the explosion.

    The soldiers who were still sleeping soundly woke up one after another.  Some people began to curse, saying that the little devil not only wanted to deprive them of their lives, but also deprived them of their sleep.

    The Japanese shelling will continue for another half hour.  The soldiers began to use this time to eat breakfast in an orderly manner to replenish their physical fitness.

    When the Japanese army was shelling, Itagaki Seishiro was using binoculars to observe the defense situation on the first mountain ridge.

    At this time, Yamada Tetsujiro was standing beside him, holding a drawn defense map in his hand.

    Those were the firepower points and defensive arrangements determined by the scouts after their attack yesterday afternoon.  At the same time, the locations where the attack should be focused are also marked.

    "The rock wall over there was hollowed out by the enemy. The dense firepower network formed by more than a dozen heavy machine guns on it made it impossible for our army to pass. Yesterday we tried to destroy those firepower points, but it didn't work." Yamada Tetsujiro said  .

    Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said: "I have noticed that the enemy's firepower configuration is indeed very tricky. Even if our artillery is bombarded from the front, it may not be able to penetrate. If this is the case, we can only use manual blasting.  That¡¯s all right.¡±

    "But how do we blast? The enemy's shooting hole is on the rock wall, dozens of meters above the ground, and the rock wall is very steep. We can't climb without tools." Yamada Tetsujiro said.

    "Captain Yamada, haven't you noticed? Although the enemy's machine gun fire can perfectly cover all areas on the hillside, the bottom of the rock wall is a blind spot for their shooting. At the same time, it is also a blind spot for the soldiers on the hillside position.

    And those rock walls are not insurmountable. Using the hook ropes used for mountain climbing, the height of tens of meters is not insurmountable.  "Itagaki Seishiro said.

    "Try this first. If that doesn't work, the epidemic prevention and water supply troops will come over at night. We can also take advantage of the night to release the poisonous gas. The wind direction is also very suitable now. If we release the poisonous gas, the poisonous gas will enter along the hillside.  Among the enemy's bunkers, it can also cause great damage to the enemy." Itagaki Seishiro said.

    Hearing these words, Yamada Tetsujiro nodded and said: "Division Commander, I understand."

    Itagaki Seishiro smiled and said: "Okay, you go down with the chief of staff to prepare. After the shelling of the enemy is over, let the troops launch an attack and try to break through from right below the rock wall."

    After the shelling that lasted for more than half an hour ended, the soldiers hidden in the bunker began to enter the fighting positions on the hillside.  The machine gunners inside the bunker began to adjust the muzzles of the heavy machine guns, and at the same time checked the ammunition status, preparing to attack the Japanese troops who were about to rush up.

    But what surprised everyone was that it was not the Japanese infantry who launched the attack first.  But their mountain cannon.

    However, these mountain cannons did not fire cannonballs, but fired a large number of smoke bombs on the mountainside here.  There were so many smoke bombs that they almost completely covered the entire front line of defense on the first mountain ridge.

    The smoke from the smoke screen spread in the direction of the wind toward the position on the hillside, obscuring the view of the soldiers on the position.  At the same time, some of the choking smoke also made some soldiers' eyes red and tears streaming down their faces.

    "What are you kiddos doing?" Some recruits asked strangely, and then they coughed violently because they inhaled the smoke while talking.

    "Wear a gas mask! Put on a gas mask immediately??.  "Xia Yang was afraid that there was poisonous gas in the smoke, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to wear gas masks.

    "Turn on the thermal imager and pay attention to the location of the Japanese troops." Xia Yang shouted.

    At this time, the soldiers of the special agent battalion who were observing on the top of the mountain immediately turned on their thermal imaging cameras to look for traces of Japanese military actions in the smoke screen.

    "Reporting to the military seat, all the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain have begun to charge. There are too many people, densely packed, and the entire thermal imaging camera is full." The observer of the secret service battalion said loudly.

    "Distance!!" Xia Yang said loudly on the intercom.

    "The distance of five hundred is rapidly shortening. It is estimated that we will enter the attack range in three minutes."

    "Order the troops, prepare for combat, and wait for my order to shoot at the smoke screen." Xia Yang said loudly.

    The number of Japanese troops charging this time was more than 2,000, covering almost the entire frontal defense line of the first mountain ridge.  The densely packed Japanese troops, like swarms of locusts, turned the originally green hillsides into earthy yellow.

    Using the cover of the smoke screen, they began to quietly approach the top of the slope.

    "The mortar squadron began bombarding, delaying the Japanese charge." Xia Yang's orders were issued one after another.

    The mortar squadron on the top of the mountain, after getting the distance of the Japanese army from the spy battalion, immediately began to adjust its shooting at Zhu Yuan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
