The Japanese army reacted very quickly, and the forward squadron was already on high alert, so they reacted faster.

As soon as the squadron leader ordered, the machine gunner carried a heavy machine gun and rushed to the high ground next to the mountain road. The grenade launcher half-squatted on the ground and raised the grenade launcher to prepare for shooting.

But the National Salvation Army on the Highlands responded faster.

They were ready long ago, and the moment the heavy machine gun fired, the grenade launcher and mortar began to fire.

"Boom..." The Japanese grenade launchers were about to shoot when the explosion rang beside them, deafening.

The moment the black smoke rose into the air, the shells quickly flew around, killing all the Japanese who were standing in front of him.

"Ah...Baga...I'm injured, everyone should lie down..."

The squadron leader soon heard the painful screams of his subordinates. The grenade launchers who were half squatting on the ground suddenly decreased by nearly one-third. Some fell to the ground and screamed, while others lay motionless on the ground, and most of them were dead.

"Boom boom boom..." The firing rate of mortars and grenade launchers was very fast. The first round of explosion had just stopped, and the second round of shells had been smashed one after another.

During the violent explosion, more and more grenade launchers were blown up, and all the living grenade launchers were lying on the ground with their heads in their arms, not even daring to look up, let alone squatting on the ground to operate grenade launchers.

The grenade launcher mounted on the side of the mountain road was also affected, and the machine gunners all lay on the ground with their heads in their arms, not daring to get up and fight back.

On the mound, the first battalion commander Dong Fei never left the telescope.

But he did not observe the Japanese vanguard squadron, but stared at the main force behind him.

Here we gathered a battalion and a strengthening company's troops, equipped with three heavy machine guns, six grenade launchers, and three mortars. Both the strength and firepower of the Japanese vanguard squadron can be suppressed tightly.

If it weren't for the 4,000 Japanese soldiers following the forward squadron, Dong Fei would especially want to pull out his teeth and eat more than a hundred Japanese soldiers in front of him.

I saw the Japanese main force suddenly divided two infantry squadrons, one mortar squadron and the other heavy machine gun squadron, and marched towards the battlefield.

The two infantry squadrons were even more ruthless. They took the initiative to encircle and encircle themselves. The troops divided into two groups and rushed towards the high ground where they were, intending to encircle and annihilate them here.

Dong Fei decisively put down his telescope order: "The troops stop attacking, cover them for a while, and evacuate here immediately!"

The Japanese vanguard squadron leader was lying on the ground and praying: Don't hit the shells fired by the National Savior Army, otherwise the Heavenly King will not be able to save himself even if he comes.

As the shelling lasted for almost a minute, the explosion in my ears finally stopped.

The first reaction of the squadron leader was to fight back immediately, with teeth for teeth and blood for blood.

But when he turned around and saw his subordinates behind him, the idea of ​​counterattack disappeared.

Although the artillery bombardment lasted only one minute, the National Salvation Army fired almost thirty shells and forty or fifty grenades. The vanguard troops were all exposed on both sides of the mountain road. If you are lucky, you can find a pit to hide it. If you are lucky, you will just lie on the ground. If you are lucky, you will be even worse than a living target. For example, the grenade launcher and machine gunner. If you are hit, you will still squat on the ground when the shells are hit, which is no different from a living target.

At this moment, both the grenade launcher position and the heavy machine gun position were blown up in a mess and there was no way to fight back.

At this time, he could only wait until the reinforcements came to fight back.

The reinforcements arrived at the battlefield two minutes later, and twelve mortars fired at the same time. The high ground where the first battalion had just been hiding was instantly flooded by artillery fire.

After the artillery bombed, the infantry assaulted. After nearly ten minutes of tossing, the Japanese from the two squadrons finally rushed to the top of the mountain.

After being hit by hundreds of shells, the mountain, which was already not high, was almost half a meter low by artillery fire.

There was nowhere to be found on the top of the mountain, and it was all overturned by shells. The floating soil that was blown up was half a foot deep. It instantly flooded the ankles when you stepped on it.

Colonel Noda was standing at the foot of the mountain and waiting for the result. When he saw a captain running towards him, he asked in a hurry before he could stand firm: "How many national-savior troops have we killed just now!"

The captain was speechless when asked, hesitating for a long time before reporting: "Sir, calm down, we did not find a soldier in the National Salvation Army on the top of the mountain, and we did not even find a body!"

"The National Salvation Army broke through before we attacked!"

"Nani?" Colonel Noda was furious when he heard this.

He has been stationed in Taiyuan and has heard of the National Salvation Army more than once, but has never been in contact with it.

This was his first time fighting with the National Savior Army. He thought he would win the first battle, but he didn't expect to hit cotton with one punch, and even a single Japanese and puppet army was killed.

For the arrogant Noda, the battle just now was definitely the biggest failure since he joined the army.

After being angry, Colonel Noda did not lose his mind.

Compared with the defeat in front of you, raiding the arsenal of the National Salvation Army is more important.

Squeeze the anger that was rushing out in my heart, holding the command knife in one hand and clenching the fist in the other hand, and commanding: "The troops continue to move forward. As long as we successfully destroy the arsenal, the national rescue army moving around us will not be arrogant because of the shortage of ammunition."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, two planes came to the battlefield under Colonel Noda's anxious waiting.

After hovering over the Japanese army for a few times, they suddenly turned into two eagles that discovered their prey and dived towards the ground with a huge roar.

On the hillside more than 400 meters ahead of the Japanese army, two balls of red smoke slowly rose from the ground, looking particularly dazzling.

The National Salvation Army built a machine gun castle there. Relying on the mountain, half inside the mountain and half outside the mountain, it was built with stones and logs, which was very strong.

Colonel Noda tried to bombard the mountain gun, but it didn't work. In the end, he had to mobilize the plane to support him.

"Woooooooooooooo... rumble..." As soon as the bomb escaped from the constraints of the plane, it flew towards the red smoke with a scream. It lasted for less than two seconds, and the sound of explosions like a rocking mountain sounded.

The strong black smoke quickly rose from the ground, forming two huge mushroom clouds that were thirty meters high.

Just now, the gunfire kept coming, and the castle was silent in an instant.

Colonel Noda did not immediately order the troops to launch an attack. He had to wait for the plane to bomb again and completely destroy the castle before attacking.

In order to win these two castles, the troops suffered a loss of almost one team.

Now with plane cover, he doesn't want to lose another person for the two destined to be destroyed.

Half a minute later, the two planes indeed dived towards the hillside.

A few seconds later, two huge mushroom clouds rose again on the ground.

Colonel Noda no longer hesitated and pulled out the check valve: "Slay the infantry, kill the national rescue army that is still alive on the mountain, and take down two secret castles."
