He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

The command post officers, witnessing all of this, remained silent, taking off their caps and bowing to the fallen soldiers and children.

The next few days were spent collecting the bodies of their fallen comrades, covering a vast area with their corpses. The camp was filled with the suppressed sobs of the men.

……

After a few days of rest, reinforcements arrived, and then a portion of them were sent to support Longling.

"I don't think we should continue with a direct attack; previous attempts have already proven that it's futile."

"Are we really going to abandon this place and go all the way to Longling? Have you considered that if we do that, we'll be attacked from both sides?"

"Alright, stop arguing. Have you ever thought about why we've been only launching frontal attacks against such a huge mountain?"

"We can also attack from the flanks, taking those smaller peaks one by one next to the main peak."

The Japanese strongholds are certainly not as fortified as those on the front lines, and they don't have many troops. As long as we proceed cautiously, we can dismantle them little by little.

"Um"

Based on the previous battles, I have decided:

Our artillery, along with artillery positions on the east bank of the Nu River, bombarded the flank of Songshan.

They requested air support, and then the soldiers, armed with rocket launchers, explosive charges, and other explosives, slowly destroyed the Japanese fortress.

And contact headquarters to replenish weapons and ammunition!

"Yes, Junzuo!"

Therefore, after the order to fight was issued,

A force was left to cover the attack from the flank of Songshan and to contain the Japanese advance.

The other troops moved to the side of the mountain to inspect their weapons and equipment, making prior preparations for the battle.

July, sunny

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

The bomb explosions were even more intense than before, deafening even the soldiers standing at the foot of the mountain, their bodies trembling involuntarily with the earth shaking.

After more than half an hour of cleaning, several fortresses on the side of the mountain peak visibly collapsed.

"Proceed step by step, and don't be greedy for quick success!"

"Okay, everyone can sit."

Upon receiving the order, the battalion and company commanders quickly relayed the battle plan to the soldiers and replenished the explosives.

“Brothers,

We must take this stronghold today to avenge our fallen comrades.

Even if I die, I will have no regrets if I can avenge our children!

"Charge!"

A large number of soldiers advanced up the mountain.

The first wave of soldiers quickly found cover, set up machine guns and fired wildly up the mountain. At the same time, our artillery shells were also fired one after another, hitting the Japanese fortress!

Meanwhile, the troops on the mountain's front also launched an attack, but their main objective was to create a diversion.

The second group of soldiers, some carrying Thompson submachine guns and others holding rifles, quickly ran out of the gaps and up the mountain, finding cover and firing bullets at the fortress on the mountain.

The third group followed the first group of soldiers, bending over as they ran up the mountain. After overtaking the second group, they immediately opened fire on the mountain.

As they approached the barbed wire, the third group of soldiers, under the cover of the first two groups, crawled forward, destroyed the barbed wire, and continued to slowly climb toward the fortress.

The fortress was large and sturdy, built of reinforced concrete, and surrounded by several smaller fortresses, arranged like soldiers protecting a king.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers scattered, some lighting explosive charges and throwing them towards the entrance of the fortress.

Some directly inserted the flamethrower nozzles into the fortress entrance, continuously firing flames.

Some even stood up and fired rockets at the largest fortified entrance.

Some soldiers were also found dead from being machine-gunned by the Japanese.

After destroying one fortress, the warriors immediately climbed to another to carry out further demolition.

The machine gun fire from the fortress immediately subsided, and sporadic explosions could be heard on the mountain peak.

The first and second batches of soldiers immediately stood up, picked up their guns, and charged toward the mountaintop!

"kill"

"Kill!"

"what"

Shouts of battle and screams of pain from being shot echoed across the mountainside.

"idiot!"

Suddenly, a few Japanese soldiers emerged from the fortress and viciously stabbed the soldiers crawling on the ground with their bayonets!

But after being stabbed multiple times, the soldiers endured the pain and stuffed the explosives they were holding into the fortress before closing their eyes with smiles.

"Ah, I want you all dead!"

The soldiers who rushed forward were furious at the sight.

Some soldiers thrust their bayonets at the Japanese soldiers, while others opened fire.

Many soldiers fired at the fortress and rushed toward it, throwing their explosives at it.

More and more soldiers rushed up the mountain, destroying the fortress with explosives while simultaneously encircling and annihilating the Japanese troops.

This continued for a whole day, from morning till night, until finally the Japanese devils were wiped out.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers on the main peak may have discovered the situation and fired a lot of shells at this place. Many soldiers did not have time to retreat and sacrificed themselves in their joy.

After a day of rest, the soldiers continued their advance towards the forward outpost!

"Tell the East Coast Artillery Regiment: don't fire shells in swathes, I want to concentrate my fire on one spot!"

Subsequently, artillery fire from the east bank and artillery from the rear concentrated on bombarding the stronghold's fortifications.

"Come on!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

When the soldiers rushed to the stronghold on the mountaintop, they found that Japanese soldiers were already waiting with bayonets.

When the Japanese soldiers saw someone rushing up, they immediately raised their bayonets and stabbed.

The soldiers who rushed up quickly engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese soldiers.

Because the Japanese bayonets were longer, the soldiers immediately suffered a disadvantage.

"A man who fears death is no man!"

"I'll be a hero again in twenty years!"

"In my next life, I would like to be a child of the Great Xia again."

"Mother, your child has come to find you."

Many soldiers who were seriously wounded by the Japanese soldiers completely abandoned all defense and only wanted to hug the Japanese soldiers, rushing towards the cliff on one side.

Although the soldiers outnumbered the Japanese.

However, the Japanese soldiers were more skilled with bayonets, and sometimes they couldn't even take down a one-to-one match.

Gradually, fewer and fewer soldiers charged forward, while the Japanese soldiers fought with increasing ferocity.

At this moment, a soldier clutched his stomach, waved his hand towards the opposite side of the mountain, and shouted:

"fire"

"Fire!"

"Fire at us!"

The commander, with tears in his eyes, gave the order to bombard the enemy through his binoculars.

With that, we've captured another stronghold!

November

After reuniting with the other two platoons, Leyou went to the designated stronghold according to the telegram he had received.

"Report! Intense gunfire has erupted on the mountain ahead, but the telegram says it has already been captured by our side!"

"Oh no, the Japanese are launching a sneak attack."

Everyone immediately provided support.

"Fire mortars at the enemy's rear first, and notify your teammates!" Le You hurriedly said to the messenger.

"Boom boom boom"

An explosion rang out behind the Japanese troops.

But afterwards, only a few sporadic gunshots were heard from the mountain, along with a large number of faint "bang" sounds.

Leyou said to the correspondent with a serious expression:

"Immediately warn command that this stronghold may have been captured by the Japanese, and that most of the soldiers inside have likely been killed!"

"Understood, Company Commander Le!"

"Set up all the mortars and give them a good blast! The rest of you, get ready to charge!"

After saying that, Leyou picked up a light machine gun and led the soldiers to sneak down to the foot of the mountain, waiting for the shells to come down.

"Boom boom boom"

A barrage of shells rained down from the sky, exploding on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

"Brothers! Follow me and kill!"

Leyou, carrying a light machine gun, charged rapidly up the mountain.

They opened fire on the mountain, and the soldiers behind them followed closely, launching attacks in waves.

The seamless transition of the attack caught the Japanese off guard, and by the time they came to their senses, Leyou had already advanced 200 meters.

"Da da da"

This is the Japanese soldiers firing heavy machine guns from inside the fortress at Leyou.

"Take cover, find cover, back row fire, front and middle rows retreat!"

After saying that, Leyou hid behind a tree and kept firing at the fortress.

Just then, several bombs exploded in front.

"Boom boom boom"

The hilltop fortress was bombed.

Just as Leyou was wondering what was going on, another group of soldiers rushed up from the foot of the mountain; they were the reinforcements.

With reinforcements, we must launch a strong attack while the Japanese are weakened; otherwise, it will be much more difficult to defeat them tomorrow once they replenish their forces.

While ordering the mortars to continue bombarding, Leyou led his soldiers and reinforcements in a dispersed charge up the mountain!
