Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 34 The Heroic Spirit of Xiaogushan II

Neither Qian Xiaobao nor Kono Harue moved.They all know that if they move, they will die faster.

Besides, both of them could see that the people rushing out of the woods were wearing Japanese military uniforms.

Now that Harue Kono is here, what are you afraid of?
Seeing the two standing and sitting with a calm demeanor, the Japanese soldiers who surrounded them were very surprised.

They have never seen Chinese people who can be so calm when dozens of guns are pointed at them.

"Come here!" Harue Kono said in Japanese, pointing to the leading military officer.The words carry the meaning of order.

The sergeant hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the donkey cart.

Harue Kono put down his cigarette stick and took off the padded cotton shoe on his right foot, took out a certificate from inside the shoe and handed it to the Japanese military officer.

Sergeant Cao looked at Harue Kono in disbelief after carefully reviewing the documents repeatedly.

"Which unit are you from?" Kono Harue asked in Japanese.

"The Crusade Team of the Fourth Division is carrying out its mission." Sergeant Cao replied.

Seeing Sergeant Cao's expression of disbelief, Harue Kono said impatiently, "What? Do you need your division commander Kiyoshi Imai to personally confirm you before you believe it?"

"Don't dare" Sergeant Cao said and handed back the certificate to Harue Kono.

"Lanbang Mountain is in front of you. According to the intelligence, the Anti-Japanese Federation is hiding there. Are you going to take action again?" Kono Harue asked, pointing to the mountains ahead.

Sergeant Cao did not answer.He couldn't tell the old woman in front of him about the military action because he couldn't confirm the identities of the two of them.

"Since you are also going to the front, let's go together on the same road." Jun Cao said.

Before their identities were confirmed, they could neither be released nor offended, so they could only take the two of them away together.

Kono Harue obviously understood what Sergeant Cao meant.She didn't object.And it's safer to walk together in the mountains.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers drove along the mountain road with a donkey cart between them.

Along the way, Japanese soldiers continued to join the team.The last major led more than 200 cavalry also appeared in front of the road.

"The Xing'an Army is here. It seems that there is a big move." Kono Harue said in Japanese.

The sergeant who had been following the donkey cart now believed more and more that the woman who looked like an old Chinese lady in front of him was a Japanese intelligence agent.

After receiving the sergeant's report, Shao Zuo ordered: "Immediately send a report to the division to confirm the identity."

Qian Xiaobao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.In the past, he had encountered Japanese crusades many times, and he had killed the Japanese and almost died at their hands several times.

After nightfall, the entire army still had no intention of camping.The clatter of horseshoes sounded on the mountain road.

The Japanese often take sudden action at night.

Qian Xiaobao could even conclude that there were probably other Japanese crusades nearby.

Several teams surrounded and attacked the target.Otherwise, it would be difficult to eliminate a team in the Wanda Mountain, where the mountains are rolling and overgrown with trees and weeds.

Major took out the map every once in a while to check the road to identify the direction.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, Major pointed to the map and said, "Cross the open area in front of you and enter the dense forest, and you will arrive at the encirclement site of Lanbangzi Mountain. You must arrive at the destination within the appointed time!"

When the team of more than 400 people came out of the mountain, their eyes suddenly brightened.A few hundred meters away from the open land stands a lonely hill.

Behind this hill is the road for the crusade team to enter the dense forest.

Seeing that it was an open field, the soldiers of the Xing'an Army got on their horses and rushed forward one after another.

Two hundred Japanese troops followed closely behind.

When the cavalry of the Xing'an Army had just rushed to the foot of the mountain, several gunshots broke the silence of the night.

Four or five Xing'an Army soldiers turned over and fell off their horses!

"Machine gun ready!" The major shouted, drawing out his command knife.

The hill is neither high nor steep.It is only because it blocks the road leading to the dense forest that the position is very important.

The major believed that with the help of a few machine guns and grenade grenades, the Xing'an army would soon be able to capture the hill.

But the facts surprised everyone.

Although there were few gunshots on the hill, the gunshots were accurate!

Under the cover of machine guns, the cavalry of the Xing'an Army rode along the gentle slope and charged towards the mountain. Almost every time a gun was fired, one person fell off the horse!

The several charges launched by the cavalry of the Xing'an Army were repelled by the people on the hill.

"Listening to the gunshots, how many people do you think are on the mountain?" Harue Kono asked Qian Xiaobao.

"I don't know!" Qian Xiaobao replied with a livid face.

"I guess there will be no more than twenty people. They won't last much longer," said Harue Kono.

The lack of gunfire is not only due to the lack of people, but also the lack of bullets to shoot as much as possible.

Kono Harue heard it, and so did Qian Xiaobao.

It will be difficult for the lonely mountain man in front of him to defend on it.Until all the people above are lit up.

Maybe those who guarded the pass on the mountain never thought of leaving here alive.

Two hours passed, and the cavalry of the Xing'an Army hadn't captured the hill yet.Dozens of Xing'an Army and Japanese soldiers were killed or injured.

It's hard to see people's faces clearly in the dark.If you shine a flashlight on Qian Xiaobao, you will definitely find that his face is ugly.

Already he could hear the gunshots on the hill becoming thinner.It should be that there are not many bullets and few living people.

"Go up! Go up!" several Japanese soldiers shouted.

Against the background of the white snow, the black shadows of several people and horses approached the top of the mountain along the gentle slope.

"Little Japan, let's go on the road together!"

With a shout, two grenade explosions sounded.The cavalry of the Xing'an Army who rushed to the front were blown to the ground.The cavalry behind hastily retreated again.

Two more shots were fired, and the two soldiers who fled down the mountain were knocked down on the hillside.

"It's been three or four hours! You have three or four hundred people, but you can't even deal with a small anti-Japanese army of more than a dozen people! You have already missed the encirclement time, and now charge up with all your strength!" Kono Harue sternly reprimanded the major.

All the Japanese soldiers looked at the old lady who reprimanded their chief in surprise.Looking at the attire, she is still an old Chinese lady.

"Hi!" Shao Zuo stood at attention and replied with a slight bow.

"Follow me with the machine gun!" shouted the Major.

More than 200 Japanese soldiers and Xing'an Army soldiers, including machine gunners, rushed up the mountain desperately.

Compared with the rain of gunfire from the Japanese army, there were only sporadic gunfire on the mountain as a counterattack.But after almost every sound, a Japanese soldier or Xing'an Army soldier fell to the ground!

Qian Xiaobao also admired the accuracy of marksmanship of the people on the mountain.

If they had more bullets they would be able to hold out longer and even retreat.

"Down...!"

There were shouts from the hills and then three or four explosions of grenades.

"Dozens of people died just for such a small hill!" Kono Harue said.

Qian Xiaobao looked pale and bowed his head in silence.

　Whenever I see the deeds of the Anti-Japanese War like Li Haifeng in Xiaogushan, I can't help being excited.
