    ??

    The Japanese soldiers who kept falling down while running wildly had a look of fear and panic on their faces.

    "Is the enemy artillery bombing?"

    Jiro Kameda asked, "Aren't they troops of the Eighth Route Army? Did they also carry a large number of artillery?"

    "No, that's not the sound of cannonballs."

    Let Ichiro make a calm judgment last time.

    After a while, he received the information from the front.

    "Reporting to the division commander, the artillery positions of the two regiments sent over were bombarded by the enemy. Their bombardment was on the cliff above the artillery position.

    We did not expect that the enemy also set up a position on the cliff.  At present, the mortar unit has suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them being killed or injured.

    The two captains asked whether they should suspend the attack and retreat back to rest.  "

    When these words were spoken, both Ichiro and Kameda Jiro turned pale.

    They had known that this attack might not achieve very good results.

    But now the attack has not even started, and their artillery position has been destroyed by the enemy. This has a far greater impact on the mentality of the two people than losing an artillery position.

    They looked at each other and saw the anger, helplessness and unwillingness in each other's eyes.

    "The enemy is too cunning."

    Kameda Jiro sighed with emotion, "The terrain here seems to have been specially designed to stop us.

    I really want to know who chose such a location as a position to block the retreat of our army. It is really an excellent defensive location.  "

    Although he was very reluctant, Kameda Jiro had to admire the commander opposite him who was very good.

    "Now is not the time to praise the enemy. We need to solve two problems."

    Having said this, he turned around and looked to the rear, "The enemy's pursuit force is also approaching. How do we block the enemy's pursuit force and buy more time for the main force in the front? This is the first question.

    The second question is how to let our army break through the enemy's blockade in front.  "

    ¡°The rear area is okay, I dispatched a brigade of troops to block the pursuing enemy troops.

    Using terrain and topography, they should be able to hold off pursuing enemies for a while.  "

    Kameda Jiro said, "The key to the problem is how to deal with the enemy forces ahead."

    Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

    This is a hard bone. They just tried to take a bite and lost a tooth.

    They want to chew off the whole bone, but they don¡¯t know how much it will cost.

    "Maintain the front offensive against the enemy, attract their attention, and let a large group climb to the cliff above."

    Let me tell you last time.

    "That's all." Kameda Jiro said.

    Zhao Zhimin, the platoon leader of the special reconnaissance battalion who was responsible for observing the movements of the Japanese troops, took back his hand and said: "Commissar Zhao, the Japs have a brigade that is detouring towards the cliff on one side. I will mark the specific location for you."

    After he finished speaking, he began to search on the map for the exact location where the Japanese brigade climbed.

    After Zhao Gang heard this, he glanced at Duan Peng next to him and said, "Duan Peng, take the people from the security company to this place. The little devil wants to climb up."

    "Yes! Political Commissar!"

    As Duan Peng spoke, he happily led the security company and ran towards the spot where the Japanese army climbed.

    At this time, the Japanese frontal attack began again.

    They moved the artillery positions and called in artillery fire from the rear to provide support for their charge.

    The Japanese artillery shells kept falling on the positions of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

    Although they built defensive positions on it, some soldiers were inevitably killed and injured by Japanese artillery shells.

    Zhao Gang did not use their mortars. Of course, these mortars could be used to kill the Japanese troops on the mountain road at this time, but he wanted to save the shells for a time when they would be more valuable.

    Under the cover of Japanese artillery, the Japanese infantry troops launched a charge on the steep slope on one side.

    Zhao Gang looked at the Japanese troops climbing up the steep slope and shouted: "Fire!!!"

    With his order, a dense network of machine gun fire spread out towards the Japanese army.

    The Japanese soldiers, shrouded in machine gun fire, soon fell to the ground.

      Some Japanese soldiers who did not have time to lie down were directly punched through their bodies and rolled down the steep slope, like falling rocks rolling down the hillside.

    ¡°Grenade!!¡±

    Zhao Gang yelled.

    Grenades began to fall on the heads of the Japanese soldiers below.

    Their troops could not spread out, and at the same time they were attacked by Eighth Route Army firepower from two directions, causing heavy casualties.

    But the Japanese army did not give up the frontal offensive. If one brigade suffered heavy casualties, another brigade would immediately replenish it and continue the charge.

    Their purpose is very simple, which is to buy time for the Japanese soldiers climbing the cliff in the rear to charge.

    The Japanese mortars were still roaring at this time.

    However, they bombarded the positions behind the Eighth Route Army to avoid causing accidental damage to their own troops.

    As for the Japanese brigade responsible for their detour, they had already reached a blind spot on a cliff.

    This position can avoid the sight of the Eighth Route Army ahead.

    But this place was clearly visible to Zhao Zhimin, who was in a more forward position, and his soldiers.

    Duan Peng led his soldiers and began to run in the direction where the Japanese army was climbing.

    They passed through the rocks and finally came to a cliff.

    That is the location marked by Zhao Zhimin, and it is also the location where the Japanese army is climbing at this time.

    In order to tie the rope up to the top of the cliff, the Japanese army selected several soldiers who came out of the mountains.

    These Japanese soldiers are very good at climbing, as flexible and light as apes.

    They tied ropes to their bodies and began to climb upward.

    Several people moved forward together, looking for a place where their hands and feet could fall on the rock wall that was almost vertical to the ground.

    Their kind of rock climbing has almost no protective measures.

    The vertical height of the rock wall exceeds fifty meters.

    There is no doubt that this is a very dangerous task.

    But the Japanese army had no other choice. A frontal charge would only cause greater casualties.

    The Japanese troops who came out of the four mountains moved very quickly and quickly climbed to the top.

    Several people tied the ropes to the rocks, then came to the cliff and gestured downwards, indicating that they could climb up.

    At this time, Duan Peng and others, who were not far from the Japanese troops, were not in a hurry to attack these Japanese troops, but wanted to wait for a while.

    ¡°After a while, there will definitely be a lot of Japanese troops hanging on the rope.

    When the Japanese soldiers climbed to a certain height along the ropes, they then killed the Japanese soldiers on the cliff and cut off the ropes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
