Chapter 1378 Above the Lone Peak

The Japanese army actually had no good way to capture this small mountain peak.

Mountain artillery and infantry artillery were hitting the Northeast Army's positions, so there was no need to specially transfer the artillery to fire a few shots just for so few Chinese soldiers.

The Japanese army didn't know what kind of terrain the top of the mountain was, so they used grenades to shoot up the grenades until smoke and dust rose up.

However, whenever Japanese soldiers tried to get close to the mountain, they were shot at from the top of the mountain.

To say that the shooting was by no means that intense, it was even completely covered up by the firepower of their Japanese army.

But the shooting was very accurate, and the dead people of their Japanese army were real.

Naturally, the Japanese army didn't know how to use the human wave tactic. Just imagine that every time they attacked the mountain, there were only twenty or thirty people. But when the opponent's rare but deadly gunfire rang out, seven or eight of them would fall every time. When the time comes, do the rest of them still have the confidence to rush to the top of the mountain?

You must know that every time a person falls, he is beaten to death before he reaches the foot of the mountain. If we attack from the foot of the mountain, and people cannot hold guns and have to hold on to rocks, trees, and bushes, wouldn't that be a problem? Will more people die?

Seeing that the sunset was almost setting in the mountains to the west, the Japanese army decided to launch the last attack of the day.

Their squadron concentrated all the grenades and aimed at the top of the mountain for a good beating.

Even if a Japanese squadron had six grenades, and even if one grenade fired only twenty grenades, the momentum would be terrifying enough!

Just like setting off firecrackers, the movement of a single small whip will definitely not be able to keep up with Erkiji and Mareizi.

But if there are enough small whips and they are hung together, they will sound extraordinarily loud, just like every Chinese family is scrambling to be the first to whip the whip before midnight on New Year's Eve!

The smell of gunpowder smoke that had just become thinner in the air became strong again, and just as the bombardment ended, dozens of Japanese troops launched attacks on the mountain peak from all directions.

At the same time, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns discharged bullets on the peak again. Even the Japanese squadron leader concentrated all the telescopes in their squadron, and everyone responsible for observation stared at them. On the top of the mountain, I hope to find the opponent's sharpshooter and kill him with one shot.

To the surprise of the Japanese army, there was no gunfire on the top of the mountain this time, and the Japanese soldiers who gathered from all directions successfully reached the foot of the mountain.

So what's the hesitation? Attack the mountain!

The Japanese soldier held a rifle in one hand and climbed up the mountain holding a rock or a wormwood bush with the other hand.

And then something happened that made them both surprised and worried.

Surprisingly, there were no shots fired at the top of the mountain this time, but there were many rocks bouncing, bouncing, and splashing down from the mountain.

So what's the worry? Of course they were afraid of those stones hitting them.

Speaking of these stones, they are really not that big.

Just imagine if the stone weighed 5,678 pounds, that person would always have to show up on the top of the mountain to throw the stone down.

There is no need for those small stones, just reach out and throw them down.

How high is the mountain? It looks like fifty or sixty meters.

But is fifty or sixty miles short? It is by no means short!

Calculated based on ordinary civilian buildings, each floor is only about three meters.

Assuming that the hill is 54 meters high, the vertical distance between the top and the bottom is 18 stories high.

Although there are rocks on the hillside that fall from a non-vertical height, the problem is that the rocks will bounce up and splash down when they hit the mountain, and the force is not that small!

This involves the issue of gravity acceleration.

If a welding rod falls from a height of hundreds of meters, it can directly pierce a person's helmet, nailing the person to death like a toad!

So what does it feel like when a stone weighing more than a kilogram, or even a few taels of stone weighing less than a kilogram, bounces off an 18-story building and hits a person?

Although it is said that the Japanese soldiers cannot be killed directly, it is normal for them to be injured!

And that is exactly what happened.

So the Japanese army climbed up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. Before they climbed very high, soldiers kept getting hit by the rocks and screaming.

If the impact was minor, you might be able to reach out and grab rocks, trees, and grass. This can only be considered a minor injury.

If it is hit hard, it will fall down the hillside.

How could there be so many small rocks on the top of the mountain? The Japanese soldiers began to curse, but then they figured out that these stones were made by them! It was the result of them bombing the top of the mountain with grenades!

If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant. If there are too many grenades, they will also break a lot of the jagged rocks.

It was broken into many pieces, but no big pieces could be broken out. Aren't they just those small stones thrown from the mountain?

The Japanese commander watching the battle from a distance became entangled again. Should he let his men continue to fight? Or withdraw it?

In fact, he also understands that they will never gain any advantage with this kind of attack. In fact, instead of attacking the mountain, it is better for them to surround it like this. After two or three days, they can trap the people on it to death.

What finally made the commander make up his mind to order his men to retreat was that all the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain saw a companion who had climbed to the highest point suddenly screamed, and then fell down the mountain like a sack. Come down.

And his body hit the mountain with another bullet. Although it was soft, it was almost the same as a stone that fell from the mountain.

"Retreat! Retreat!" the Japanese squadron leader shouted.

A huge attack before night ended hastily.

The Japanese soldiers who fell from the mountain were not killed, but only injured. However, they did not want to be there, but some of their legs were broken and injured, so they could only crawl back.

There was still no figure on the top of the steep mountain, and no gunshots were fired, as if the rain of small stones just appeared out of thin air.

It seems that the Chinese army on the top of the mountain has made up its mind to fight them, or it may be said that it is planning to break out in the dark.

There were still gunshots and explosions in the distance, but at least this area was finally getting quieter.

So what is it like on the top of the mountain?

At this time, there was a man on the top of the mountain, with a cover made of shrub branches and leaves on his head, lying down and looking down the mountain. Under the green branches and leaves was Shang Zhen's sharp but slightly dull gaze.

There was a crack in the mountain just a few meters behind his feet, but the crack had been scratched with a rifle used as a wooden pole, covered with branches and leaves, and even some soil was sprinkled on it.

And this is why Shang Zhen and the others were able to save their lives.

The crack in the mountain is deep enough. Even if the Japanese grenade hits it directly, shrapnel will only fly down and will never fall directly to the bottom of the crack.

Although the crack was not large in length and width, it was a natural bunker, and all the people led by Shang Zhen hid in that crack.

Even earlier, when they climbed to the top of the mountain and saw cracks here, Chen Hanwen sighed, the crops would be saved if they didn't die! have a look! God has dug a bunker for us!

At this time, Shang Zhen's eyes were still dull, and nothing could be seen from his expression.

This is not only because he has experienced hundreds of battles, but also because he takes life and death lightly.

At this time, there was a sound behind Shang Zhen. Shang Zhen turned around and saw the heads of two people showing up. They were Chen Hanwen and Chu Tian.

When Chen Han Wenwen and Chu Tian saw that Shang Zhen was fine, they put their heads back, and Shang Zhen did the same.

But at this time, Shang Zhen didn't know how to turn back, but Chen Hanwen whispered to Chu Tian: "What do you think we are thinking about?"

"Who knows, maybe I'm reminiscing about life, reminiscing about many firsts in life." Chu Tian replied.

Chen Hanwen said "Oh" and suddenly chuckled: "Although you are a scholar and I am also a scholar, so far I have one less first time than you."

Chu Tian looked at Chen Hanwen's face, and after a moment he smiled: "Brother Hanwen!"

"Well, brother is here!"

But at this moment, Chu Tian suddenly changed his face and cursed: "Get out!"

Chen Hanwen was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.
