"The Japanese army has launched a full-scale attack on our Nanlinpo position. The positions of the 8th and 9th companies of the 3rd battalion have been broken through one after another. Only the 7th company is still defending!"

"With such a fast speed, two positions were lost?"

Hu Lian was furious: "The two company commanders who lost their positions were dismissed on the spot and told Qiu Shichang to go to the 7th company's position and defend it for me!"

"Yes! However, the 8th company commander has been killed in action."

"Understood, let Qiu Shichang be prepared to die for his country."

"clear!"

"Are you really not ready to leave?"

Hu Lian turned around and his eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan.

"Shaoyuan's mission has not been completed yet, and we still need to stay in Shipai."

Meng Shaoyuan replied calmly: "Besides, in order to defend Shipai, the commander has deployed all his troops to various positions. There is no mobile force left. Even the division headquarters only has one squad that can be mobilized.

The commander has placed the command headquarters here a short distance from the front line, which means he has made up his mind to become a benevolent person. Shao Yuan still has more than 300 people in his hands, who are well-armed and can be used as a reserve team when necessary!"

Hu Lian looked gloomy: "In war, people will die!"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Sir, although success is uncertain, success is determined, and Shaoyuan is determined to succeed!"

"Okay, okay." A smile finally appeared on Hu Lian's face: "It's rare to have a spy like you who is not afraid of death. No wonder Dai Yunong sent you here. Meng Shaoyuan!"

"arrive!"

"From now on, you and your people will act as a reserve team, under my direct command!"

"yes!"

…

Artillery shells roared day and night.

The bright light from the shell explosion even blocked the moonlight and stars.

The earth is trembling.

Behind it is a stone sign.

Behind the ship sign is Chongqing.

The soldiers of the 11th Division had no way to retreat.

This is a death place!

Desperate place of death!

The positions of the 8th and 9th companies on Nanlinpo have been lost.

Qiu Shichang, commander of the 3rd Battalion, personally took command at the 7th Company position.

The 7th Company is equipped with a mortar platoon and a machine gun platoon, and is the best equipped in the entire battalion.

From now on, they will be firmly set in Nanlinpo like a nail!

May 28.

After the crazy bombing, the Japanese troops rushed to the 7th Company position like a tide!

"Hit me!"

Following Qiu Shichang's order, all light and heavy firepower in the 7th company position opened fire at the same time.

The Japanese troops at the front fell in large numbers like wheat.

However, there were too many Japanese troops and they still swarmed up in layers.

The mortar platoon began to show off its power.

The artillery shells roared out one after another, making deafening roars among the Japanese rear-line troops, cutting off the communication between the Japanese troops to the greatest extent.

As a result, the Japanese troops who rushed too far were immediately isolated.

At this time, the light and heavy machine guns on the 7th company's position roared even more crazily.

At this point, the battle to defend Shipai has entered a fierce stage from the beginning!

…

"airplane!"

Suddenly, Li Zhifeng shouted excitedly: "It's our plane!"

Meng Shaoyuan raised the telescope.

Five planes roared overhead and charged directly at the Japanese troops.

Three of them are very unique aircraft.

On the nose of the aircraft is a logo showing a huge shark with a huge mouth.

That's the U.S. 14th Air Force!

Chinese and American allied air forces are dispatched!

At this time, the strength of the Chinese Air Force has been greatly improved.

In terms of early warning aircraft, it has been strengthened.

In terms of fighter jets, it even had an advantage over the Japanese army.

This is unprecedented since the Battle of Songhu.

Not only that, the Chinese and American allied air forces have shifted from a defensive state to an active offensive!

Japanese ships on the river were often bombed by the Chinese air force.

The main mission of the Chinese Air Force is to cut off the Japanese supply lines.

Japan's air force advantage is gone!

Meng Shaoyuan put down the telescope.

In the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese Air Force was defeated.

But now, our air force is soaring in the blue sky again.

1943 was the most difficult year of the Anti-Japanese War.

But this is also the year when hope begins!

"Sir, we just received the news that Company 7 is holding its position."

Su Junwen rushed over: "The Japanese army failed to account for the corpses and fled in a panic."

There was no smile at all on Meng Shaoyuan's face.

Yes, the Japanese army was repulsed.

But a more brutal battle is still to come.

Li Zhifeng was obviously dissatisfied with staying here all this time: "Sir, when can we go up?"

"It's almost, it's almost." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze.

…

The 7th Company successfully held its position.

Within one day, they repelled more than ten Japanese charges.

Fighting hand to hand, the valley was covered with a thick layer of dead bodies, and blood flowed along the bottom of the valley like a stream.

At dusk, the follow-up troops of the 3rd Division arrived and launched a frantic attack on the 7th Company's position.

Fight to the death for 7 consecutive days without retreating.

They are like a small boat in the sea, facing strong winds and waves. They seem to be sinking at any time, but they remain standing!

However, this is just the beginning.

Early the next morning, the Japanese army dispatched five aircraft, mobilized five heavy artillery pieces, and began to bombard the 7th Company's position indiscriminately.

The top of the mountain has been flattened, the trees have been broken, and everything that can burn on the top of the mountain is burning, even the stones are hot.

All the positions built by the 7th Company were blown up, the entire mountain was overturned by artillery shells, and a new layer of soil was laid.

There were twenty-three shrapnel in a tree that one person was holding!

In order to completely capture Nanlinpo, the Japanese army spared no expense!

The bombing finally stopped.

The Japanese troops with bayonets in hand rushed forward in dense numbers again.

They thought that all the 7th Company had been killed, but they did not expect that the soldiers of the 7th Company came out of the soil, shook off the dust from their bodies, raised their guns and started shooting.

The Japanese army, which was caught off guard, was swept away in large numbers again.

"Beat me, beat me to death!"
