Li Yan looked back at the brothers of the reinforced regiment behind him who were distributed along the back mountain trail. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he took up his sniper rifle and aimed at the remaining Japanese troops on Xishan North Road. Through this observation, Li Yan discovered that their
The formation had broken up, and the various Japanese soldiers were moving at varying speeds. There was nothing favorable to their counterattack, so Li Yan judged that this interception would not take long at all.
When Li Yan just thought of this, Liu Guangyao next to him said: "Li Yan, the Japs are coming!" He raised his right hand holding the grenade and placed his left hand on the grenade ring. As soon as Li Yan nodded, Liu Guangyao
Rushing to the front, when these Japanese soldiers had completely entered the back mountain trail, they suddenly pulled the ring apart and threw it over the head of a Japanese soldier. The grenade fell from the hillside to the center of the trail.
A Japanese soldier was knocked to the ground on his head, and then the grenade exploded in an instant, blowing away the Japanese soldier who was knocked to the ground and several companions around him.
Not long after the explosion, other soldiers of the reinforcement group raised their rifles and pointed them at the Japanese soldiers below. Since the entire reinforcement group was on the hillside at this time, the height difference between the upper and lower groups was very large, so the strength of the reinforcement group was
The brothers could only see the Japanese helmets shaking back and forth below, but this situation also reduced the difficulty of their interception, because every bullet fired from their rifles accurately penetrated below.
The devils have a Tianling Cap, so as long as these devils are hit by bullets from above, there is no chance of survival.
Under the condescending interception of Li Yan's troops, the remaining Japanese troops who fled from the northern part of Xishan met the King of Hell in less than two minutes. However, Li Yan discovered that the two Japanese regiments in the southern part of Xishan were not at the same time.
Instead of moving forward, he stayed in place as if waiting for something. There was also a Japanese soldier holding a telescope and making an observation plan for his location. Upon seeing this, Li Yan reloaded his sniper rifle with bullets.
He then raised his sniper rifle, aimed at the reconnaissance Japanese soldier, and fired a shot. The Japanese soldier was hit by a bullet before he could react. He grabbed the telescope and fell down. After that, Li
Yan never found the second Japanese soldier who came up to conduct reconnaissance.
At the same time, Jiang Zhen, who was stationed in the north of Xishan, also discovered this abnormal situation. However, considering that the entire combat plan was going perfectly, Jiang Zhen did not command the troops to leave their position rashly, but ordered the troops to stand by in place.
He stayed away from the sight of the Japanese troops, climbed over the northern part of the Western Mountain, and ran all the way to the top of the Back Mountain. He called out to Li Yan. Li Yan felt something moving behind him and turned around quickly. When he saw it was Jiang Zhen, Li Yan relaxed.
He asked cautiously: "Brigadier Jiang, you didn't bring the entire army here, did you? We can't give the Japanese a chance to escape."
Jiang Zhen frowned: "No, I came here alone. I just saw that the two Jaap regiments in the south have no intention of continuing to advance, and your troops did not go down the mountain to pursue them. I think
Did your false information work? These devils suffered a lot last time..." At this point, Jiang Zhen suddenly saw Ge Qi's body on the ground. He raised his head and looked at Li Yan
Asked: "How did Ge Qi... sacrifice himself?"
"In order to save me, the Japanese had their legs broken with a heavy machine gun. He didn't want to affect the defense plan of our entire army just because of himself, so... he ended it by himself..." Li Yan tried his best to control himself
Jiang Zhen squeezed out these words with his emotions. Looking at Li Yan's expression, Jiang Zhen didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he put his hand on Li Yan's shoulder and patted it gently. After a short silence, Li Yan
Yan's mood gradually calmed down, and he took Jiang Zhen to the highest position on the top of the mountain. He pointed with his right hand at the Xishan South roundabout route and the direction of Xishan County, and said: "I judge that they are thinking of retreating now. The Japanese exceed
Half of the troops have been lost here in the West Mountain. Now their strength is only 6,000. Judging from the number of people, they are only a fraction of the total strength of the West Shandong base area. Judging from the current troop layout, we
Guard the woods on the North Road of Xishan and the top of Back Mountain. These two places are the most difficult to capture in the entire Xishan, so I don’t think they will come up to die if they are not crazy yet.”
"But I always feel that they are waiting for reinforcements. If we don't send troops in time to completely eliminate them in the southern part of Xishan, if the reinforcements from Ichiro Inoue really come later, our battle will be over.
It's not as easy to fight as it is now." Jiang Zhen said slowly while observing the southern part of Xishan through the telescope, but what Jiang Zhen didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan's analysis completely overturned his own.
This kind of thinking.
Li Yan stepped forward and put his hands on the heavy machine gun, then looked back at Jiang Zhen: "Commander Jiang, there is only one regiment and one brigade left behind them. Inoue Ichiro thought he would definitely take it this time."
He went to the Xishandong base area and took your and my heads to ask for rewards from the emperor, so he almost spent his capital on this encirclement and suppression operation, but now there are only these two Japanese army groups left in the entire southern part of Xishan. Under this situation
It is impossible for him to send the last brigade to rescue, and it is not enough, so their only possibility now is to escape."
"Escape? Li Yan, didn't you just say you wouldn't let a Japanese soldier escape?" Jiang Zhen was a little anxious. Hearing Jiang Zhen's words, Li Yan was not too surprised. He picked up his sniper rifle and looked around.
After observing, he replied: "That's why we can't rush to chase them now, because this will alert these Japanese soldiers. These two Japanese army groups come from the south, close to Xishan County. If we alert them now, they will definitely
Flee to the south, but if they can't escape, following the thinking of these beasts, they will definitely enter Xishan County and capture the innocent civilians in the county as hostages. In that case, we will be passive."
"What should we do? Now we can't catch up, and they refuse to leave. Are we just going to stand on the top of the back mountain and wait?" Jiang Zhen became more and more impatient. Seeing this, Li Yan hurriedly pointed his finger at the sun and said
: "Brigadier Jiang, I, Li Yan, keep my promise and will never let go of any Japanese soldier, but I will wait until it goes down before taking action. I will take advantage of the darkness to divide my reinforced regiment into two groups, one small and one large.
The small force is responsible for entering Xishan County first and transferring the innocent civilians there to our West Shandong base area, while the large force is distributed around Xishan County and setting up ambushes in the south."
