The Japanese army rarely engages in night battles, and the war lasted for seven years. In addition to being in a desperate situation, the Japanese army has not yet taken the initiative to launch overnight battles. On the contrary, during the war, the Chinese team often launched night battles, approaching the Japanese positions at night, and suddenly launched an attack. Now, Masazo Kawabang asked Shinichi Tanaka to launch a night battle, which made Shinichi Tanaka not angry.

Even though he was angry, the order had to be implemented. Tanaka Shinichi urged the 78th Division to come and meet as soon as possible, and ordered Mizushima to concentrate its troops in Taipingji to launch an attack.

Mizushima called the three brigade captains to his command center and briefly told them the command of the division commander and the situation facing the division. There was constant gunfire around. The Chinese team only used firepower to interfere and did not take the initiative to launch an attack, nor did it interfere with Yoshikawa Squadron's action to seize the hill on the right.

Mizushima simply conveyed the orders of the division commander to the three brigade commanders, and then told them seriously: "The division commander ordered us to open the passage in front, and it must be tonight. As soon as the sky dawns, the Chinese Air Force will definitely arrive. It will be even more difficult to break through at that time."

"Gao Shujun, concentrate the entire brigade to launch an assault on the front. You must take down the hills on the front and open the road for the entire army!" Mizushima stared at Gao Shu with a stern look. Gao Shu was expressionless and held the command knife tightly in his left hand. Mizushima added in silence: "No artillery preparation, no artillery support. Gao Shujun, please!"

Mizushima was in a very heavy mood at this moment. The troops did not have much ammunition, especially the shells. Now each cannon only has three shells and must be kept for use at the most critical moment.

Gaoshu did not hesitate at all and focused on Mizushima. Mizushima turned his head and ordered Qingya to concentrate the troops of two squadrons, handed them to Gaoshu, and ordered Kurachi to concentrate the two squadrons, handed them to the wing as a reserve team, and the rest of the troops strengthened their defense.

After this deployment, Mizushima asked the three brigades to return to the troops and began to attack ten minutes later. After Gao Shu returned to the brigade, a few minutes later, two squadrons of Qinggu Brigade rushed over. Gao Shu summoned six squadrons together without any nonsense, and immediately deployed an attack plan. The two brigades of Qinggu Brigade were distributed on both wings to attract and restrain the defenders on both wings. He personally led the four brigades of the brigade to attack the Chinese positions in front in waves.

"You guys, this may be our last battle, the last battle for the empire, and your majesty. I ordered that we should use bayonets when charging. The officers must rush in front of the soldiers, and all soldiers in the brigade must be put into the attack! The heavy machine guns secretly move to a position three hundred meters in front of the enemy's position, and after the bullets are exhausted, they must also be put into the attack! Everyone, please do our samurai accusations! Goodbye to Yasukuni Shrine!"

The night was noisy and quiet. Bullets passed through the night, and there were traces burning in the air. Mahjong Cai was lying in the cold trenches and stared calmly below. There was an abnormal quietness in the darkness. This silence made him smell danger. He turned his head to look at the brothers in the trenches. Their expressions were a bit nervous. Aside him was a Mark core heavy machine gun. The advantage of this heavy machine gun was that it had good protection for machine gunners. The baffle in front could block the bullets on the opposite side. The disadvantage was that it affected the firing circle, so he had to be equipped with an observer.

Cai Mahjong is a veteran who joined the army for 38 years and has not received any military academy education. He participated in all major battles of the 47th Army since the Second Battle of Jinpu Road. He was injured four times and received two Blue Sky and White Sun Medals. In the Battle of Wuhan, he still stood firm while the entire company was killed and won the highest medal, the Guoguang Medal, a combat hero who is renowned for the entire army. This time, the most important pass to defend the entire battle, and the division commander Xiao Xiaoze personally ordered his company to put his company in this position.

In order to strengthen his vitality, battalion commander Yuan Lie drew three heavy machine guns from the battalion's machine gun company and handed them to Cai Mahjong. All the 82 mortars of the battalion's machine gun platoon were used to support him. The 47th Army knew from top to bottom that if the Japanese army wanted to break forward, this small hill would be called the key to the entire battle, so they spared no effort to strengthen the defense here.

What troubled Xiao Xiaoze, the commander of the 169th Division, was that the hill was not big and it could accommodate only one company of troops, so he transferred Cai Mahjong, the entire civilized army, to here. Cai Mahjong used the period before the war to build a circular position on the hill, and placed two rows on the hill, and the third row was used as a reserve team and placed behind the hill.

In the darkness, the gunshots around covered up some suspicious sounds in the night. Apart from the gunshots and explosions, Cai Mahjong heard no sounds, but the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.

"Detect two cannons, five hundred meters." Cai Mahjong held the signal light in his hand and ordered the artillery sign.

Two 60 mortar shells exploded five hundred meters away. Cai Mahjong raised his hand and fired a flare. The flares were floating in the air. Under the bright light, there seemed to be nothing in the telescope, but Cai Mahjong seemed to see something. He thought about it and shot another flare.

Cai Mahjong pushed away the heavy machine gunner. Under the pale light, the machine gun sprayed a rain of bullets, and the bullet hit the ground, hitting some gray stones on the road. After Cai Mahjong stopped shooting, he turned his head and asked, "Is there any movement?"

"No." The heavy machine gunner replied without hesitation, with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.

Cai Mahjong frowned and returned the heavy machine gun to the machine gunner. Deputy company commander Fan Xingzhong hurried over: "Company Commander, something is wrong with the Japanese."

Fan Zhongxing is also a veteran, a veteran who joined the army in 1941. He is a graduate of the Sulu War Zone distribution department of the Central Military Academy. At this moment, he looked a little nervous. The Japanese army's actions were indeed abnormal. The gunfire on both wings was not fierce. Only fierce gunfire was heard in the direction of Longquan Mountain in the distance. They didn't believe that the Japanese would wait until tomorrow to attack.

Cai Mahjong nodded: "Tell your brothers that no one is allowed to sleep. If you find any news that is suspicious, you can shoot before reporting it."

The order was conveyed quickly. Fan Zhongxing supervised the battle at the first row of positions, and Cai Mahjong supervised the battle at the second row of positions. The three heavy machine guns divided by stress were divided into three places, blocking the slope in front of the hill from the left and right directions. The slope was actually not steep and not very long, and it was at most forty or fifty meters.

Gao Shu lay nervously in a depression. He practiced his orders. The officer rushed forward. His current position was in front of the entire brigade, but while crawling forward, more than a dozen soldiers surpassed him.

Without artillery fire preparations, Gao Shu knew that he could only rely on attacks to rush up the hill, but the attack had to be unexpected. Obviously, this did not exist now. The Chinese team must be prepared. His only hope was to use the darkness to quietly approach the Chinese position, shorten the impact distance, and then rushed up the hill with one go.

The entire brigade began to crawl forward a thousand meters away, quietly touching the Chinese position thousands of meters away. For two hours, the entire brigade, plus two reinforcements, crawled on the ground, slowly climbing forward step by step.

A trace of blood came from the air. The soldiers in front were hit by the machine gun just now. The soldiers fell down without a sound. Five or six soldiers hit by shells bit their hands tightly without making any sound.

Gao Shu climbed a few times and climbed to a soldier. A flare suddenly rose in the sky. He shrank his body tightly. The soldier did not dare to move. He bit a towel in his mouth, and blood flowed out of his body, flowing gold into the land.

When the sky became dark again, Gao Shu climbed to the soldier and pushed him gently. The soldier was motionless, still biting the towel in his mouth, and his eyes were still staring at the dark hills hundreds of meters away.

Gao Shu continued to crawl forward without any indication. There was a rustling sound from behind. The troops began to squirm forward slowly. Four hundred meters and three hundred and fifty meters. Gao Shu became more and more nervous. The Central Team seemed to have noticed something. In just fifty meters here, the defenders on the hill fired two flares and machine guns fired once.

Gao Shu swallowed his saliva, pursed his tongue on his lips, and his dry lips turned around and looked at it. It was dark behind him. He didn't know if any soldiers died in the shooting just now. Now the injury is almost equivalent to death.

The darkness came again, and the rustling sounded again. The tall trees struggled forward, three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, and the hills became clearer and clearer.

The sense of danger in Cai Mahjong's heart became stronger and stronger. This feeling has allowed him to survive several times in the past six years, but there is nothing outside, and the gunfire around him is still strong. The Japanese have been attacking the hills on both sides, and the gunfire in the direction of Longquan Mountain in the distance is even more intense. He is very confused. Could it be that the Japanese really don't attack forward?

"Bang!" Another flare took off. Cai Mahjong grabbed the telescope and stared at the ground under the light. It seemed nothing. The flare gradually went out. Cai Mahjong was about to put down the telescope when it suddenly solidified, and felt something was wrong.

"Put another one! Closer!" Cai Mahjong shouted, and another flare took off, which was about fifty meters closer than last time. The light was concentrated between 100 and 120 meters. Cai Mahjong stared at the piles of stones.

"All company! Get ready for battle! The Japanese are coming!"

"The artillery fires! A distance of 100 to 150 meters! Fires!"

Before the war, Mahjong Cai personally inspected the area in front of the hillside. Although he couldn't tell the truth about every grass and tree in this area, he was very clear about the place in front. There could only be two rows on the hill. He wanted to deploy one row in front to enhance the depth of defense, but the distance in front was too smooth, so he gave up in the end, so he was familiar with this distance. Why did there suddenly become a few piles of stones on the road?

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Several consecutive shells exploded in the crowd. Gao Shu immediately noticed that he had been discovered. He immediately pulled out his command knife, held it up, and shouted with all his strength: "For the chamber pot! Kill!"! ~!
