Although the dark night and light rain made the mountain road slippery and muddy, it also provided excellent cover for the brothers moving in the direction of Golden Dragon Terrier.
A group of brothers quietly found their way into a ravine at the foot of Jinlonggan Mountain and hid themselves, but the little Japs on the mountain didn't notice at all.
The black and steep mountains are as majestic and majestic as standing giant beasts. The brothers looked up at the silent mountains, quietly hidden at the bottom of the ditch.
The deputy battalion elder, Yanqiang, wrapped the bayonet with a strip of cloth several times before hanging it in a convenient place. The flower machine gun on his back and the bulging magazine made him feel inexplicably confident.
The thirty commando brothers were all carrying bayonets, short rifles and grenades. Rainwater flowed down the brim of their helmets. They quietly tightened their weapons and ammunition and made final preparations.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the regiment leader Zhang Handuo patted Lao Yanqiang on the shoulder. Lao Yanqiang understood and took the brothers he selected along the southeast corner of the mountain.
The heavy rain soaked the mountains, and the soil under their feet became soft and slippery. Lao Yanqiang grabbed the bushes and grass with both hands and climbed up the mountains silently.
The brothers followed suit, most of them were veterans with rich combat experience, trying to make as little noise as possible.
Fortunately, the sparse woods and lush shrubs provided them with excellent cover, and the pattering of light rain obscured the noise caused by occasionally stepping on dead branches.
The Japanese built several machine gun bunkers on the mountain road in front of Jinlonggan. The muzzles of the black hole were pointed at the bottom of the mountain.
Although the number of Japs stationed at Jinlonggan and Zuoyunling is not large, they can provide fire support to the Japs at the main Minshan position at any time, posing a great threat to the flanks of the attacking troops.
If we can capture these Japanese strongholds now, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the frontal offensive troops, and at the same time allow their troops to gain a firm foothold based on these mountains.
The mountain breeze mixed with the cool drizzle. Lao Yanqiang and the others were soaked to the skin. Their thin clothes stuck to their backs, and they also felt a slight chill.
They tiptoed toward the top of the mountain, and each black shadow looked like a ghost.
The little devil probably wouldn't have expected that in such bad weather, Lao Yanqiang and the others would sneak up and attack at night.
The Japs usually attack during the day and switch to defense at night, because their vision is limited at night and their firepower advantage cannot be used.
The endless mountain rain made the little Japs suffer too. Lao Yanqiang and the others followed the southeast corner and quickly reached the top of the mountain. Only then did they find two Japs sentries in raincoats leaning against a big tree and talking softly.
Talk.
Lao Yanqiang stopped behind a dark bush, gently patted the shoulders of the two brothers on his left and right, and touched the necks of the two Japanese sentries.
The two brothers understood, and one on the left and one on the right took advantage of the cover of the woods and darkness to get behind the Japanese sentry.
"Who!" A Japanese soldier was very alert. Hearing the strange noise coming from the darkness, he hurriedly picked up the rifle hanging on his shoulder.
Before the Japanese sentry finished speaking, a black figure still jumped out of the darkness beside him, and the shining bayonet had already stabbed his neck with a clang.
A stream of warm blood spurted out from the bloody hole in the white flesh, splashing on the face of the other Japanese soldier.
The Japs were horrified. He pulled the bolt of his gun and prepared to shout, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a big hand came from behind and covered his mouth tightly, leaving only his whining sound.
A sharp bayonet was inserted into the back, and the bloody tip came out from in front of the Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier struggled in severe pain, and soon his body became weak and collapsed.
The two brothers quickly eliminated the Japanese sentries. Although they made some noise, it was covered up by the drizzle and mountain wind.
When Lao Yanqiang saw that his brothers had succeeded, he waved his hand without any hesitation, straightened up and continued to touch.
The brothers behind him were also divided into fighting groups of three, and they filed out of the dark forest.
There were not many sentries placed by the Japanese troops on the periphery, but they were all wiped out by Lao Yanqiang and the others, allowing them to reach the core of the Japanese positions without any risk.
However, there were quite a few Japanese soldiers stationed here. There were Japanese soldiers stationed at a certain distance in the trenches. The Type 92 heavy machine guns covered with raincloths were so intimidating that Lao Yanqiang and the others did not dare to move rashly and hid themselves on the spot.
The third battalion led by Yang Ling took the lead, followed closely by the troops of the first and second battalions, opening up the skirmisher line, and under the cover of the night and rain, they poured over the mountains and plains towards Jin Longgan.
"call out--"
When Yang Ling and the others were about to approach the Japanese position, a lighting lamp rose into the sky amidst the roaring sound.
Under the pale light, the dark mountains and trees suddenly became clear. Yang Ling and others wearing helmets and holding bayonets made the pupils of the Japanese sentries at the front shrink rapidly.
"Chinamen, Chinamen attack!"
A Japanese sentry looked horrified and screamed miserably.
"Bang!" Yang Ling quickly pulled the bolt of the gun, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder and pulled the trigger. A dull gunshot sounded, and the Japanese stumbled to the ground, and the screams suddenly stopped.
The dull sound of gunfire broke the silence of the rainy night, and countless bullets flew towards the Japanese machine gun positions at the front.
"Puff-puff--" Those Japanese soldiers who had just stood up and rushed towards the machine guns had countless blood holes all over their bodies, and they fell down unwillingly in the blood mist.
"Everyone spread out! Rush up!" Yang Ling waved his hand, passed over the still warm corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the ground, and quickly led the team towards the top of the mountain.
Behind Yang Ling, heavy and dense footsteps sounded, and the brothers began to charge towards the top of the mountain with all their strength. The earth-shaking shouts swept through the mountains like a tsunami.
This kind of siren, originally used by Japanese soldiers for air defense, has become an alarm device for army troops encountering enemy attacks because of its penetrating sound and ease of use.
The Japanese soldiers who were sleeping deeply got out of their tents one after another and rushed to the trenches under the officers and scoldings. Halfway up the mountain, intensive gunshots and one after another explosions were heard.
"Fight!" Lao Yanqiang and the others had already penetrated into the core position of the Japanese. When they heard the gunshots rang out from the bottom of the mountain, they began to attack without hesitation.
While Lao Yanqiang was yelling, he suddenly straightened up from behind the bush and fired a hail of bullets at the dozens of Japanese who were coming towards him.
The flower machine gun in his hand sprayed out a series of bullets and swept into the group of Japanese soldiers.
The brothers behind him also pulled the triggers and opened fire. Under the violent firepower attack, dozens of Japanese soldiers fell into the trench in an instant.
Lao Yanqiang and the others rushed forward and shot or nailed the Japanese soldiers to the ground who were still alive. They had fought many battles with the Japanese and knew how cruel the Japanese were, so they did not show any mercy.
The reaction speed of the Japanese soldiers was very fast. When the Japanese machine gun clamped on a ridge saw the Chinese soldiers who suddenly emerged, it quickly fired a bunch of bullets at them, causing mud on the ground to splash.
Lao Yanqiang rolled over and dodged, then raised his hand and threw a grenade.
"Boom -" The flames of the explosion rose up mixed with gunpowder smoke, and the Japanese machine gunners wailed and were thrown away by the blast of air.
"Everyone spread out and attack with all your strength!"
Lao Yanqiang changed the magazine again, said hello to his brothers, divided the arrows into countless small streams, and inserted them deep into the Japanese positions.
Although the shell guns in the hands of the brothers did not have a far range, they had a fast rate of fire. They could gather together and shoot together. The firepower was so dense that the Japanese had no time to react.
The Japs' position was like a leaky sieve, with countless holes torn open by Lao Yanqiang and the others. Although the Japs' rifles were accurate, their speed was slow and the taunting firepower could not stop the wolves and tigers like Lao Yanqiang and the others.
.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
But the Japanese soldiers were better because they were well-trained. Even though the surrounding areas were turned into a mess, they still shot in a half-crouched position in an orderly manner.
The brothers had just blown up a heavy machine gun and had just rushed forward when a row of bullets swept over them in the darkness. Four or five brothers rolled down covered in blood.
"Damn it!" Lao Yanqiang cursed, a hail of bullets passed by, and the brothers also threw grenades.
Those Japanese soldiers who were squatting and shooting were immediately blown to pieces. When Lao Yanqiang and the others rushed over, only the ones with broken legs were still twitching and moaning on the ground.
The entire mountain range rang out with intensive gunshots, the light machine guns firing wildly, and the mutilated limbs thrown into the sky amidst the roaring explosions and flames were clearly visible.
