But when the first security guard climbed up, he climbed a few steps and raised his head. Before he could react, Chen Tianhua, who was waiting for him, shot him in the head.

There was a muffled sound of "Bang...".

The unfortunate guy rolled down the slope back into the ditch without saying a word.

With a snap, the team members who were flipping over were so frightened that they all shrank back.

"Prepare grenades!" the Japanese officer's face turned livid with anger, and he ordered through gritted teeth.

It's still the same old routine, relying on the Japanese army's magic weapon to win.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Dozens of wooden-handled grenades were thrown out at once, landing in Chen Tianhua's second line of defense.

Seeing something dark flying overhead, everyone quickly found a low-lying spot and lay down with their heads in their hands.

The purpose of throwing grenades is not only to effectively injure the enemy, but also to block the opponent's uninterrupted firepower and create opportunities for your own attack.

After the second round of grenades exploded, the Japanese officer took the lead in climbing up the hillside, rolled over to avoid the flying stray bullets, and began to crawl forward.

The power of role models on the battlefield is powerful and highly contagious.

Immediately afterwards, more and more security guards climbed up, all entering the hillside to attack.

What's even more terrible is that the Japanese commander Kobayashi Kakuzu on the mountainside was very happy to see his companions leading his troops to successfully break into the forward position.

"Kill a few of them!"

With a strange cry, Xiao Linjue personally directed the main force to charge towards the high ground unscrupulously.

"Bang...bang bang..."

"Ta da...ta da da..."

Chen Tianhua and the others are organizing a counterattack.

"Throw grenades, suppress fire!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Unfortunately, only less than one round of grenades was thrown. The New Army ran out of grenades and light machine gun bullets.

This is a very dangerous moment.

The enemy, on the other hand, did not just stand up and charge up stupidly. Under the command of the Japanese officers, they had a clear division of labor.

Some people were suppressing fire on the defenders' positions, while others were assembling some of the spare parts they carried on their backs.

After a while, several crooked machine guns appeared in their hands.

"Grenade, knock out the enemy's fire points!"

Xiao Linjue also approached the high ground. He set up a grenade position with twenty large and small caliber grenades on the spot and continued to issue combat orders.

The gunners who were personally trained by Japanese soldiers are different. Their cooperation can be said to be very tacit and very fast. There are no problems with their tactics and they are perfect.

In this way, Xiao Linjue's side had powerful firepower, grenades, light machine guns, grenades, and their strength was several times that of the defenders.

One was ebbing and the other was ebbing, and the defenders lost their fire at the critical moment.

The constant fire suppression made it impossible for Chen Tianhua to raise his head and even breathe.

Seeing Wu Yangyang's enemies getting closer and closer, Chen Tianhua was at his wits' end and extremely anxious.

"Major General, be careful..."

The guard pounced and pinned Chen Tianhua beneath him.

Several grenades exploded nearby, and the guard was riddled with shrapnel and died.

Chen Tianhua endured his grief and got up from the ground. The bullets flew past his head and hit the soil behind him, making a squeaking sound.

Now they were trapped in place by enemy fire, unable to advance or retreat. The two light machine guns in the longitudinal trenches on both sides were also knocked out by grenades.

"What should we do, Major General? The enemy's firepower is too fierce. Let's retreat to the back mountain!"

Fei Ge and Gu Zhunian climbed up to Chen Tianhua and shouted in frustration.

They were simply stunned. They had never imagined that they would encounter such a situation, and they had never encountered enemies with various artillery pieces, a large number of grenade launchers, seven or eight light machine guns, and grenades.

"Don't be discouraged. You can't retreat to the back of the mountain. There are dozens of seriously wounded people there. It is an honor to die on the battlefield as a soldier. Inform all brothers to put bayonets on rifles and big swords out. Jump for me." If you rush out of the trenches and fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, their artillery fire will be useless."

Seeing that although his two subordinates were injured, they were basically intact, Chen Tianhua did not panic in the desperate situation, and he had the idea of ​​​​fighting to the death.

"General, you can't stay here!" Gu Zhunian turned to Fei Ge and said, "Brother Fei, you protect the major general and retreat to the back mountain. I will lead the charge with the brothers."

"No, no, my fighting skills are better than yours, so stay behind to block the attack while you protect the young general and retreat to the mountain." Fei Ge retorted.

"You bastard, you are the captain of the guard. You take all the guards to protect the safety of the lord. This is your duty, and I am the commander of this army. Now I order you to escort the major general to retreat. You must not let the major general retreat. Something happened to the general!"

In desperation, Gu Zhunian finally couldn't help it, and shouted angrily with a hoarse voice.

Seeing the two subordinates quarreling, for some reason, Chen Tianhua, who had always been hard-hearted, felt a sour nose and shed tears from the corners of his eyes after hearing this, but he showed a smile of relief and satisfaction.

No one dies while alive.

In a life-or-death situation, there is someone who will use his or her own body to protect you from all dangers.

There are still people who would rather die here, sacrificing their own safety, and want you to live.

When people are at the end of their rope, this kind of situation is certainly worthy of being moved and comforted.

He is very clear and understands that where can we retreat to the higher mountains of Yingpan Mountain? Besides, there are so many brothers here.

He tried his best to wave his hands, and shouted with a sad smile, "Brothers, stop fighting. I will never be a deserter. If I die, I will die with my brothers. I will have a companion under the Nine Springs." "

"Nonsense...you will die anyway, Major General, you can't die!"

Gu Zhunian's eyes widened. He remembered his sworn brother Song Xiaoniu's instructions before leaving. He was secretly anxious and wanted to give Fei Ge an order.

But at this moment, there were muffled sounds from the distant horizon.

"Boom...rumble..."

“Rumble…”

"..."

This was not thunder, but the roar of large-caliber artillery.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud sound of horse hooves coming from far away, and hundreds of cavalry rolled up and rushed over, making a rumbling sound.

"Ouch, could it be that Chen Er's reinforcements have arrived?!"

"It should be them, they finally arrived in time."

Gu Zhunian and Fei Ge finally showed long-lost smiles on their faces as pale as corpses.

"Stop talking, organize the brothers as soon as possible and fight back!" Chen Tianhua also became excited.

"As you command!"

The two of them took the order and left.

The cavalry units that arrived at the foot of the mountain in time were Chen Er's two main companies. Following them were the newly expanded machine gun company and engineer platoon, as well as those from the west, and a group guarding the lumberyard base. The reserve company has a total of more than 600 riders.

It turned out that the three post officers dispatched by Gu Zhunian yesterday evening were working hard, holding torches and driving under the starry night, and found Chen Er before the fifth watch today.
Chapter completed!
