Soul-Calming Pass.

There are two big mountains on the left and right, and this is the only way from Taigu County to Ping'an County.

The mountain is not very high, with an altitude of only about 400 meters, but the mountains on both sides stand on both sides of the road like door gods, just like the Black and White Impermanence, guarding the Yellow Springs Road.

This is how the name of Zhenhun Pass came about.

It was a bare patch, with only some piles of weeds and unknown wild flowers.

A high mountain flanks the right side, and a cliff-like cliff stands beside the road.

On the road, the traces of tank tracks were clearly visible.

There were two Japanese flags flying on two high points.

"Captain, Xiaoshanzi has been notified. Fighting has broken out in Ping'an County. They said a reinforcement regiment will come to Zhenhun Pass for support."

On the high ground to the left of Zhenhun Pass, Wang Jiantang bent over and came to Lin Tianchen's side and spoke in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianchen spread a simple map on the ground beneath his feet.

"Time is running out. The 1st and 2nd Battalions will be on Hill 02 on the left wing and Hill 03 on the right wing. The cavalry company will place half of the artillery shells on horseback on Hill 01 and then wait below Hill 03."

"Let the Japanese get closer and destroy as many of their forces as possible as quickly as possible. The first and second battalions must wait for my order to retreat at any time. When evacuating, do so in an orderly manner. Don't evacuate all at once."

When Wang Jiantang, Li Weiguo and Sun Desheng heard this, the three of them nodded heavily, saluted, and immediately led the team to the mountains on the left side of Zhenhun Pass and the mountains behind it.

"Pillar."

"exist."

Zhuzi straightened his body and looked at Lin Tianchen with a firm expression. If his face might have looked a little honest before, his face now looked resolute.

"Fire all the shells unloaded by the artillery this time. I will be with you later and tell you where to fire."

Lin Tianchen handed a map to Zhuzi. The map was very simple, with the terrain outlined with a few strokes. It was obvious that it had just been drawn. The distance to each location was clearly shown on the map.

This was drawn by Lin Tianchen in the fastest time using a visual map. This map is actually a scale for bombarding the pillars.

"Captain, don't worry." Zhuzi's face was serious. After fighting one battle after another, the soldiers of the artillery company were no longer the rookies they were when they were first formed.

Instead, he was a master gunner who was trained by his experience and trained with one shell after another.

"Go set up the mortar position, on the back side of the hill."

"Yes!"

Zhuzi saluted and immediately left with the artillery company. As each person left, orders were issued one after another.

Apart from Xiao Shanzi and Fang Bailu, there was only Ding Jiaguo from the Third Battalion squatting beside Lin Tianchen, his eyes full of desire. Although he was anxious about the commander's arrangements, he did not interrupt him.

Things have their priorities. Now the Fourth Brigade may arrive at any time, so there is no time to argue. Although he envied the First and Second Battalions for leading the mission, Ding Jiaguo waited quietly, waiting for his order.

"Ding Jiaguo."

"Here." Ding Jiaguo said in a low voice.

Lin Tianchen looked at the soldier in front of him whom he met in Lijia Village. Although he was careless in his daily life, no one in the regiment did not know Ding Jiaguo.

Because they were all soldiers trained by Ding Jiaguo, even when Wang Fu and his team joined the first battalion, they also received special training here for a few days, teaching them some basic combat commands and things that needed attention, etc.

In a word, basically all the soldiers had passed through Ding Jiaguo's hands.

"The Third Battalion will have to hold off these devils at Zhenhun Pass for at least four hours. During this time, they will be supported by a reinforced regiment from the Eighth Route Army. The duration is uncertain."

"I will eliminate as many of the enemy's heavy firepower points as possible, then take the 1st and 2nd Battalions back to support Ping'an County and find a way to annihilate the mechanized troops. We have no choice now. If the Soul-Realizing Pass is breached, the entire regiment will be doomed."

"You don't need to participate in the battle in the early stages. Once you evacuate, you will take over the Soul-Suppressing Pass."

Lin Tianchen's tone was still very calm. Someone was needed to block this battle, and he also knew what this blockade might mean.

Even if the heavy firepower was eliminated and the greatest casualties were inflicted, it would be impossible to annihilate the 4th Brigade in a short period of time when fighting in the wild.

That means that the Third Battalion will face a charge from an enemy about ten times its size. Although there are natural barriers, the difference in numbers is still there.

"Commander, no soldier is immortal. You said this yourself. This order should be given to our third battalion. The first and second battalions can only charge. It is just right for me to be in charge." Ding Jiaguo's tone was full of seriousness, but there was decisiveness in the depths of his eyes.

"Survive, you have to bring as many soldiers as possible to survive. I said, you have to lead them to fight the Japanese on their homeland." Lin Tianchen said too much and opened his hands.

Ding Jiaguo understood, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately opened his arms to hug.

"Take care." Lin Tianchen let go, said heavily, then turned and left.

Several people nearby looked at Ding Jiaguo deeply, said nothing, saluted deeply, and then quickly followed.

"Captain, we will definitely attack the Japanese mainland."

Ding Jiaguo looked at Lin Tianchen's back, muttering to himself, his smile slowly fading, his expression gradually becoming serious.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Gaojie City not far away.

"Gaojie City, assemble the entire camp!" Ding Jiaguo stood up and said in a low voice.

Suddenly, figures began to appear on the slope behind Hill 01.

The sky was clear and the warm sun shone on each soldier.

The heights are different, but the direction we are looking in is the same.

"Report, all 658 members of the Third Battalion are here. Please give your instructions."

Gao Jie stood at the front of the team, saluted, and then stood aside.

Ding Jiaguo looked at the figures in front of him and a smile appeared on his round face.

"The regiment commander ordered that our third battalion be responsible for blocking the enemy, and the minimum time is four hours. Didn't you want a mission? Now that the order has come down, everyone, tell us what you think." Ding Jiaguo glanced at everyone one by one.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the soldiers froze.

"What else can I think? The captain said four hours, and I won't give him a penny less." Gao Jiecheng said without hesitation.

"Yes, the captain said four hours, so that's four hours..."

"Captain, you've misjudged us. Are we afraid of death? I've already chosen a location in the back hills of Black Cloud Village."

"That's right. When we went to worship, the location was already chosen. The commander's order was to fill it with my life, and I had to carry it out to the letter."

As the voices rang out, a smile appeared on Ding Jiaguo's serious face.

"The order must be carried out, but the regiment commander said that he wants us to stay alive as much as possible because he still has to take us to the Japanese homeland..." Ding Jiaguo smiled heartily.

After saying this, without any hesitation in his tone, he turned and looked at Gao Jiecheng.

"Gao Jie City!"

"To!"

"Take the First Company to Hill 02, the Second Company to Hill 03, and the Third Company to hold the position. You still have a little time to set up defenses. You can ask the First and Second Battalions to help. It takes a thousand days to train an army, but only one moment to use it. This is the time to test our Third Battalion. All companies must perform at full strength. No matter how difficult it is, we must hold the line for four hours."

"Yes."

Gao Jiecheng's face was serious. He straightened his body and led all the soldiers of the first company to the first battalion's 02 high ground, while the second company went to 03 high ground...

For a while, the people of the third battalion were scattered at three high points, and Ding Jiaguo brought some people and some explosive packs to bury explosives on the cliff below the 03 high ground.

In the entire Zhenhun Pass, there was no other sound except the sounds of digging trenches and building positions, except for the sound of wind around everyone.

Everyone was busy until Fang Bailu's flag signal appeared. All the soldiers in the regiment quickly stopped what they were doing, lay down on the battlefield, and looked at the road below with wolf-like eyes.
