Let’s talk about Xu Yougeng’s side.

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese had approached within thirty meters, and there were seventy or eighty people, while the soldiers of the 7th Company were less than twenty.

At this time, there are only two options.

Either turn around and retreat, but it is likely that the Japanese will be regarded as a target for survival.

Or they would launch a counterattack with a bayonet, fight with the Japanese in hand and fight the ball all over.

Xu Yougeng chose the latter without hesitation, but just as he was about to order the attack, a sudden change occurred.

A series of dazzling bullets suddenly shot from the back without warning, and the Japanese who were charging forward immediately fell down in rows.

This time, it was no longer one by one, but fell one by one!

This firepower density must be at least ten heavy machine guns!

Looking up quickly, Xu Yougeng was surprised to see that more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles had already lined up in an arrow-shaped assault array and quickly crushed over from the side of the Japanese military camp.

In front of this torrent of steel, the flesh and blood of the Japanese army could not stop it.

In a blink of an eye, a Japanese squadron that had just fought back was killed or injured.

A few of them were lucky enough to die, but were also run over by tank tracks and were crushed to death.

After a while, more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles arrived near, and there was a reinforced battalion in a subdistrict. Xu Yougeng immediately led the surviving soldiers of the 7th Company to jump out of the trenches to meet him.

"Your Geng, it's you guy." The turret of a Type 97 tank was lifted up from inside.

Then Li Sigen's head poked out of the turret and waved to Xu Yougeng to say hello.

"Sigen! Your damn is here. If you don't arrive, your damn will have to collect my body." Xu Yougeng said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Li Sigen quickly apologized.

"When I was halfway through, a bridge collapsed. It took some time to build the bridge again, but it was delayed."

"Xu Yougeng, Li Sigen, what are you doing? Om?" While the two were greeting each other, a voice sounded, but saw Shen Quan rushing towards him with anger on his face.

When the tank company charged just now, it knocked down the mortar position of the Japanese.

The main force of the third regiment led by Shen Quan was finally able to rush up and meet with Xu Yougeng's seventh company.

"Don't stand there, rush forward, and fight!" Shen Quan said, "Defeat the Japanese!"

"Yes!" Li Sigen agreed and immediately retracted into the turret. Then the Type 97 medium tank turned around. The other nine tanks and six armored vehicles also turned around and returned to the Japanese military camp with a diagonal turn.

With the addition of the Tank Company, the situation immediately became very different, and the Japanese began to retreat step by step.

Xu Yougeng soon discovered this and shouted excitedly: "Captain, the Japanese can't stand it anymore!"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Shen Quan said with a serious look on his face, "The Japanese retreat is orderly, this is not a defeat, the Japanese should have retreated on their own initiative!"

"Retreat on the initiative?" Xu Yougeng said, "Are the Japanese stupid? Is the barracks with complete fortifications not guarding? Run outside to the open ground to fight with us?"

Shen Quan's brows also frowned suddenly.

This is exactly what makes him confused.

But the next second, Shen Quan reacted.

"No, the Japanese want to seize the commanding heights!"

After reacting, Shen Quan shouted: "The Japanese are trying to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the pig-killing mouth! Then, relying on these two commanding heights to form a horn, stick to the waiting for help!"

"Ah?" Xu Yougeng was stunned.

"You have to stop them!" Chen Quan roared.

Then Chen Quan personally led the 1st battalion toward the commanding height on the right side of the pig-killing mouth.

However, before the soldiers of the 1st Battalion approached, dense machine gun firepower poured violently from the commanding heights on the right side of the pig killing mouth, and many soldiers of the 1st Battalion fell down instantly.

...

In the frontier observation post.

The brigade commander and Wang Ye have also discovered the abnormal behavior of the Japanese army.

"Huh?" said the brigade commander with a light exclaim, "This is not like a defeat, but like an orderly retreat."

"Yes, it's an alternate cover and orderly retreat." Wang Ye said with a sneer, "If I'm not wrong, the Japanese want to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the pig-killing mouth and stand firm for help."

"Ah?" said the brigade commander anxiously, "This is not possible."

Wang Ye said sneeringly: "Don't worry, brigade commander, the Japanese are delusional."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye said again: "Unless the Japanese left heavy troops at the commanding heights on both sides of the Pig Killing Mouth in advance, in the current situation, the two sides have been completely mixed up, and the Japanese cannot escape our army's pursuit at all, so even if they seized the commanding heights on both sides of the Pig Killing Mouth, they would not have time to build a defense line..."

However, before he finished speaking, dozens of dazzling tongues suddenly appeared on the commanding heights on the right side of the pig's mouth.

"This is a heavy machine gun!" The brigade commander's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "And at least one squadron!"

Wang Ye's face collapsed instantly. This was something he had never expected. The Japanese deployed a heavy machine gun squadron on the commanding heights on the right side of the pig-killing mouth? This means that there is at least one infantry brigade on the commanding heights on the right side.

An infantry brigade was deployed on the commanding heights on the right, so what about the commanding heights on the left side of the pig's mouth?

If there is a brigade on each side of the commanding heights, it can form a strong cover for the main force of the 28th Division, and the main force of the 28th Division can calmly retreat to the commanding heights on both sides.

In this way, the battle against the ground will become a battle against the high ground.

It is also a tough battle, and the difficulty of attacking the high ground is much greater than that of attacking the flat ground.

Because the Northwest Shanxi Column now has not only a powerful artillery group, but also a tank company's assisting war. It can not only leave no dead ends in the flat ground battle, but also invest in the tank company to forcibly break through from the strongest point of the Japanese fortifications, so Wang Ye dared to say that there is a 70% chance of winning, otherwise, go to dream.

But the situation is completely different when attacking the high ground.

When it becomes a high ground, the tank company loses its function first.

Then the Japanese can also use the back slope of the mountain to avoid artillery fire.

If the Northwest Shanxi column is compared to a strong crab, the artillery regiment is undoubtedly the left claw of this crab, and the Tank Company is the right claw of this crab.

But now that both big claws are out of place for use, this battle is difficult to fight.

In an instant, a fine cold sweat oozed out of the foreheads of the brigade commander and Wang Ye.

"Xiao Wang." The brigade commander felt his mouth dry and said in a difficult tone, "If you join the Second Detachment now, can you stop the main force of the 28th Division?"

"The brigade commander is no longer possible." Wang Ye said, "The Japanese have deployed heavy troops on the commanding heights on both sides of the pig-killing mouth and have built firepower points in advance. At this time, it is futile to try to intercept the main force of the 28th Division. They will only be massacred by the Japanese heavy machine gun firepower on the two commanding heights."

After all, the Japanese military camp is not far from the commanding heights on both sides of the pig-killing mouth.

There was only a gap of less than one kilometer, and the Second Detachment penetrated further, and it was completely exposed to the range of the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points on both sides.

The brigade commander sighed when he heard this.

Actually, he knew it wouldn't work.

The brigade commander said: "We can only fight the battle against the high ground."

While speaking, Wei Dayong brought Duan Peng in panting.

Wang Ye's fire came up and kicked Wei Dayong to the ground with one kick.

"Wei Dayong!" Wang Ye was obviously angry and called his name directly without calling it a nickname. "Does your mind be covered in mud? Om?"

"The Japanese deployed heavy troops on the commanding heights on both sides,"

"You don't even report such an important military situation?"

"Om? Are you blind or stupid? You're still a fucking special forces captain, embarrassing!"

After cursing for a few words, Wang Ye still felt unhappy and kicked Wei Dayong a few times.

Wei Dayong lay on the ground without saying a word, but the brigade commander rushed up to stop Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, don't do it."

At this time, Duan Peng knelt in front of Wang Ye with a thud and said tragically: "Captain, you can shoot me quickly."

"Duan Peng, what are you doing? Get up." Wang Ye said with a dark face, "Get up quickly, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"No, captain, it's all my fault." Duan Peng shook his head, "The monk told me before leaving, asking me to closely monitor the Japanese infantry on the commanding heights on both sides. Although the Japanese on the mountain returned to the camp in the evening last night, the monk was afraid that they would not return to the camp tonight, so he asked me to keep an eye on it. If the Japanese did not withdraw from the military camp after nightfall, I would report him immediately, but I..."

Speaking of this, Duan Peng said with guilt: "But in the evening, I saw two Japanese men quietly entering a discarded tunnel, and followed them from behind. Unexpectedly, one of them was actually a rabbit husband. The two Japanese men touched the tunnel to do that disgusting thing..."

Wang Ye scolded: "Stop talking about these useless things, just tell me the key points."

"Yes." Duan Peng responded and said, "I took down those two Japanese devils, but just as I was about to return along the same route, I happened to encounter a unit from a division to fight back."

"A of the shells fell at the tunnel entrance by chance."

"That tunnel collapsed once, but it was dug up later."

"And it was not reinforced with wood, but as soon as the tunnel fell down, the tunnel collapsed again."

"Then I was blocked inside and couldn't get out, so I could only use a bayonet to dig out desperately."

Speaking of this, he said, "When I finally dug it out, it had already been a pot of porridge outside. I quickly report to the monk, but..."

"Fuck!" Wang Ye cursed for a while.

I endured the next half sentence and went back to death.

At this moment, Wang Ye really felt Zhuge Liang's feeling in the upper valley.
