After leaving the bottom of the valley, the air was much fresher. Chang Gen grabbed a rock with both hands and pressed his body against the mountain wall, breathing heavily. Among this group of people, Chang Gen's physical condition was relatively good, but even so, it was difficult to walk on this mountain road. When he came down, he was still very tired. He turned his head and saw that Chu Tiange, who was following him, had an abnormally pale face. He remembered that Chu Tiange had just recovered from his serious injury and had not been able to rest well in the past few days, but he was able to follow suit. Following him closely, he felt very fond of him, so he asked kindly: "Master, would you like to take a rest?"
Chu Tiange's situation is just as Chang Gen expected. It is very difficult. Now he is holding it all in one breath. This is somewhat similar to when he first entered Langya to participate in special training. Many subjects are subject to extreme fatigue of the human body. Repeat the practice over and over again until you pass the fatigue points one after another, so that the body can mechanically master those techniques. In this case, you must not have the idea of taking a break, otherwise once you start When the head is broken and the breath is released, the thought of rest will be entrenched in the mind like an opium addiction, causing many things to be abandoned halfway. The wound will be a little painful, with a faint needle prick coming from the heart and mouth. The gun had been put back into the holster long ago, and his teeth were now just clenched stiffly. He didn't dare to speak, so he just shook his head, then climbed hard on a rock next to Chang Gen, and walked up.
Looking at his stubborn figure, Chang Gen had a stern look on his face. He remembered the legend about the "Anti-Japanese Heroes", and then he realized that what he was like today was not a matter of luck. His perseverance alone was far beyond what ordinary people thought. can have,
"Brothers, follow the boss closely. Just hold on and we'll be there." Chang Gen shouted, climbing up after Chu Tiange. Above, the sound of gunfire became louder and louder. Everyone thought of those who were under the fire of the little Japs. The brothers who resisted bravely gritted their teeth one by one, endured the pain from various joints in their bodies, and followed Chu Tiange and Chang Gen to climb up.
On Yingbi Mountain, there was a place with a wide view. Wang Zhifu took a telescope and looked at the battle ahead. Chu Tiange was very proud when he learned that he was actually staying on Yingya Mountain, which was only more than a hundred kilometers away from his defense line. Major General Wang Zhifu ignored the obstruction of his men and personally led his team to arrest him. Before going up the mountain, he carefully asked Shui Hongtian about the defense of Yingya Mountain. The defense of Yingya Mountain was built by Shui Hongtian. He naturally knew it. It was very auspicious, so he poured it all out without reservation. After Wang Zhifu asked his staff to sort out the data, he decided to lead a large brigade to encircle and suppress them. Among them, there were more than 500 elite Japanese troops directly under his command.
Because he had suffered losses from Chu Tiange’s Langya team members in the “Battle of Zhongma City”, Wang Zhifu would carry out this plan with great fanfare and absolute superiority of troops. In his opinion, there are only 300 people in Yingya Mountain now. With the remaining forces, even if Chu Tiange and other Chinese people arrived there, with such a powerful military and firepower configuration, he would be able to successfully capture Yingya Mountain and capture Chu Tiange alive. Yes, from the beginning, what he thought was To capture Chu Tiange alive,
Although the "Battle of Zhongma City" was not reported in the press because of the deliberate blockade by the Japanese, the series of problems caused by it attracted sufficient attention from the Kwantung Army. In recent times, underground anti-Japanese groups in the three northeastern provinces have The activities were extremely active. In Shenyang, Harbin and other places, as if after a night of spring rain, assassinations against Japanese people appeared everywhere, and the perpetrators were all named "Anti-Japanese Heroes" afterwards, which caused extreme panic among Japanese expats. ,Many Japanese people now often dare not go out when it gets dark,
Of course, these assassinations cannot really be carried out by the "anti-Japanese duo", but the reason for this situation is naturally related to the heavy losses inflicted on the Japanese in the "Battle of China-Malaysian City" by the Military Academy. Under this situation, Ouyang Yun , the names of Chu Tiange and Xue Bingshi have been ranked ahead of Zhang Zizhong and other die-hards of the 29th Army, and have become the figures Nanjiro is most eager to solve.
If Chu Tiange can be captured alive, it will not only shatter the prestige of the "anti-Japanese heroes" among the Chinese people and deal a heavy blow to the anti-Japanese armed forces in the three northeastern provinces, but also bring substantial political benefits to the Kwantung Army in Japan.
This is the real reason why Wang Zhifu attaches so much importance to Yingya Mountain.
In the telescope, behind a row of rocky bunkers, one or two figures flashed from time to time. It was clear that the Chinese were disheveled and had various weapons. There was even a huge caliber weapon placed in the middle of the bunker, but it was obviously only The cannons that sprayed iron sand and gravel; the soldiers on the other side, whether they were puppet troops with low combat effectiveness or the elite imperial army under their own command, were unable to get closer. Wang Zhifu's face became increasingly ugly.
He put down the telescope, looked at Shui Hongtian, and said casually, "Shui Sang, your men are very good at fighting."
Shui Hongtian also saw that something was wrong with the situation. Under his suggestion, the Japanese chose to attack head-on, thus avoiding the complicated traps and mechanisms in other places. However, in this way, the Japanese's military advantage It can't be reflected, so Yingyashan can easily repulse the dozen or twenty or thirty "imperial troops" that rush towards them with the help of inferior weapons. White Legs can easily repel them. The position was slightly higher. Shui Hongxiu (who didn’t know that the current boss of Yingya Mountain was Chu Tiange at this time) must have arranged a sharpshooter somewhere. When the Japanese machine gunner entered the position, a bullet flew from the opposite side. , the machine gunner was killed immediately. Now, the Japanese no longer dare to position the machine gun too far forward, but in this way, the soldiers in front block the machine gunner's sight, and they are unable to suppress fire.
The reason Shui Hongtian originally chose Yingya Mountain and Luocao was precisely because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now that Yingya Mountain has changed its owner and he has become the attacking party, he regrets why he chose such a place to stay in the first place. With a thin layer of sweat, he looked at Wang Zhifu with a livid face with some fear, fearing that the other party would vent his anger on him.
Wang Zhifu frowned and used the military knowledge he had learned to make quick calculations in his mind: The Chinese people on the opposite side are very cunning, and they have obviously seen battles. The only thing that can kill them is the mortar. , but the flight of the artillery shells has a process, and the sound is obvious. The Chinese artillery shells were not released until the Chinese people were already lying in the bunkers. The power of the mortars was limited and they could not open the bunkers made of huge rocks. Now it seems that , the only choice is to use mountain artillery, first destroy their fortifications, and at the same time, perhaps a surprise force should be arranged to move across from other places. Although Shui Hongtian said that this is the only smooth road leading to Yingya Mountain, he saw the twinkling eyes of the other party. , I always feel that the other party is not telling the truth...
Because it was not easy to launch artillery on the mountain road, the mountain artillery was left at the foot of Yingbi Mountain. Wangzhifu Wang Zhengqiang led the puppet troops to get the cannon up, and then asked Shui Hongtian: "Shui Sang, is it true that it leads to Yingya Mountain from here?" Is this the only way?"
The reason why Shui Hongtian's eyes twinkled was indeed because there was a ghost in his heart, but this ghost was not because there was a secret road hidden in his heart, but because he was a little timid thinking of a terrible consequence, if the Japanese were unable to capture Yingya Mountain. , will definitely be angry with him. At that time, who will save him?
"It's true that this is the only way. The other places are all traps and traps..." He wiped his sweat and replied,
Wang Zhifu snorted and calmly turned to Zhao Xiaoshan, who had been silent all the time: "Zhao Sang, is that so?"
Zhao Xiaoshan thought for a while and said: "There is another way, but it is very dangerous."
"Is it the bushes next to the main road?"
"No, there are too many local agencies and traps. Even those of us who set them up at the beginning can't remember which ones they were. I'm talking about the Broken Heart Valley." Zhao Xiaoshan said, pointing to the place where the mist was lingering at the foot of the mountain, " Broken Heart Valley connects Yingbi Mountain and Yingya Mountain, but there are ghosts in it, so it's best not to go through it."
Wang Zhifu looked at the misty valley not far away, his face looked better, and he asked: "You must have walked through it."
Shui Hongtian and Zhao Xiaoshan were shocked. Shui Hongtian secretly glanced at Zhao Xiaoshan, hating him for talking too much and getting into trouble.
Wang Zhifu pretended not to understand the expressions of the two men. He took two steps forward and patted their shoulders respectively and said: "There is an old saying in China that wealth and honor can be found in danger. I think the same is true in marching and fighting. Victory in battle is also found in danger. , since the Broken Heart Valley is so dangerous, I think the Chinese people on the opposite side must not have thought that we can launch an attack from there. Don't worry, no matter what ghosts there are in the Broken Heart Valley, I will ask my most elite imperial soldiers to accompany you. They have our country's Amaterasu. With the care of the great god, you will definitely be able to see and destroy ghosts and monsters."
Shui Hongtian's face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time; Zhao Xiaoshan was very bachelor. He said: "Since the general's men are not afraid, then I will go out and accompany them."
Wang Zhifu nodded, looked at Zhao Xiaoshan with admiring eyes, and then asked his staff officer Keiji Genro to select the manpower.
Soon, twenty-three Japanese soldiers were selected. They were led by a captain named Huangcun Takusai. Counting Shui Hongtian, Zhao Xiaoshan and their thirteen subordinates, there were thirty-eight people in the group, all armed with short rifles and grenades. , Zhao Xiaoshan and Shui Hongtian made a few more simple torches, and then began to look for a suitable place nearby to go down to the valley. The Japanese soldiers had strict discipline and had not heard of the horrors of Heartbroken Valley, so they treated them as ordinary combat missions. He did not show any uneasiness in the treatment, which only made Shui Hongtian and his group of men suffer. They were all well aware of the power of Broken Heart Valley, so when they heard that they were going down to the valley, their legs could not help but tremble. Knowing that this job was Zhao Xiaoshan asked for it. Everyone looked at him from behind, wishing they could burn two holes in his back with their eyes.
