I rise from the sword

Chapter 154 Devils attack at night, 517 highland falls
After smoking the cigarette in Yang Lin's hand, Yang Lin instructed Hou Meng in front of him: "Mengzi, take some brothers to scout ahead and scout for us. If you encounter any special circumstances, report to us immediately. You can shoot the warning directly!"

"Understood, Battalion Commander!"

Hou Meng nodded to accept the order, and then led a platoon of scouts to explore the way forward.

Yang Lin's caution is not superfluous.

This place is already close to the front line, and the surrounding area is mountainous terrain, with high mountains, dense forests, dark moon and high winds. If you don't do it, you will encounter devils' attacks and interspersed troops.

Therefore, he must be extra careful!
……

10 minutes later.

Yang Lin led his troops to meet Hou Meng who had turned back on the road.

"Report to the battalion commander, there is a situation on the mountain road ahead!"

Hou Meng quickly ran towards the tank.

Yang Lin ordered the special operators who were driving the tank to stop, and then asked, "What's going on?"

Hou Meng took a deep breath and reported back: "Beizhi just found a lot of footprints in the forest on the roadside ahead, as well as a few Japanese-style cans and cigarette butts that were missed."

Wenshuiguan just had a heavy rain this afternoon. If it was the footprints left before, it would have been washed away by the heavy rain.

This shows that the footprints in the forest were left just tonight.

Through footprints, cans and cigarette butts, Yang Lin seems to have deduced the ins and outs of the whole thing.

There must have been a Japanese army that penetrated through the weak points of the Chinese defenders' defenses.

It is not even ruled out that there may be a traitor as an internal response!

Today, the Japanese army that penetrated in is like a sharp knife, piercing the back of the Chinese defenders, and may kill the Chinese defenders of Jiaocheng Mountain at any time!
Thinking of this, Yang Lin ordered Hou Meng again: "Mengzi, you lead the way and help Lao Tzu to find out these little devils who have infiltrated!"

"Yes!"

Hou Meng promised, then turned around and left quickly.

Immediately, Yang Lin ordered to the large army: "Damn it, there is a battle, pass my order, everyone, march forward!"

"Yes!"

As soon as they heard that there was going to be a battle, the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion accelerated their progress as if they were going to meet their unmarried daughter-in-law...

After about 1 hours.

On the way of the Independence Battalion marching and chasing, there was a sudden burst of intense firefighting on a high ground in the northwest of Jiaocheng Mountain.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

……

Ma Gan came to Yang Lin's tank and said to Yang Lin: "Battle Commander, from the sound, it seems to be Height 517!"

"Ok!"

Yang Lin frowned and nodded.

Highland 517 is one of several commanding heights in the Jiaocheng Mountain area.

Once the little devil occupies this favorable terrain, it is equivalent to stabbing the defender in the buttocks.

The Japanese army could use this high ground to pin down the defenders on several nearby high grounds.

Once it was daytime, this group of devils would be assisted by aviation, and it would only become more difficult to take it back.

At that time, the large Japanese army can use the 517 highland as a springboard to launch a full-line attack on Jiaocheng Mountain...

Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately changed his strategy and said: "One company, two companies, continue to speed up!"

"The rest of the ministries will follow closely!"

……

517 Heights.

The Japanese army seems to have obtained the defense map of the defenders.

A piece of artillery shells fell, and before the defenders on the high ground could react, half of them were killed or injured.

"Infantry attack across the board, don't give the Chinese army a chance to react!"

"Kill the chicken, kill the chicken!"

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army launched a full-line attack.

The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army guarding on the high ground saw the enemy's menacing approach, but after a symbolic resistance for a while, they abandoned their positions and fled towards Jiaocheng Mountain.

……

"Damn it, in just a few minutes, Height 517 has fallen! There is a battalion of defenders on the mountain. Even if there are hundreds of pigs, it won't be so fast for the little devil to kill them!"

After running for less than two kilometers, the sound of gunfire in the direction of 517 Heights stopped.

This can't help but make Yang Lin curse in anger.

Ma Gan said: "Battle Commander, what should we do now?"

Yang Lin said with a gloomy face: "There is absolutely no room for loss at the 517 Heights! I'll go to the front to scout, and you will lead your troops to follow up!"

Ma Gan was a little worried and said: "Battle Commander, is it too dangerous for you to be alone, why don't you bring a few more brothers?"

"no need!"

After speaking, Yang Lin left the army, ran forward quickly, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The reason why he didn't bring more brothers was not because he was afraid of being exposed.

In fact, as soon as the gunshot rang out, the defenders several kilometers around must have known it.

Therefore, the little devil must have made preparations for a defensive counterattack.

The reason why Yang Lin was alone was to save a little time.

After he finishes scouting the enemy's situation, the large army will almost arrive, and then he can launch an attack directly.

……

With the cover of night, Yang Lin boarded a small slope one kilometer in front of the 517 highland.

Immediately, he found a suitable position, raised the infrared night vision binoculars in his hand, and began to observe the enemy's situation.

In the field of vision of the telescope, I saw a group of devil soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, and some devil engineers were busy digging trenches, building various bunkers, and field firepower fortifications.

At the foot of the mountain, some little devils are busy burying mines and deploying minefields.

Obviously, this army of devils came prepared.

Yang Lin moved the binoculars slowly, carefully observing the number of devils on the high ground, as well as the firepower equipment carried by the enemy.

……

517 Heights.

A devil major officer, holding a towel in his right hand, wiped the blood stains on the command knife back and forth.

The old devil's face was full of excitement. He licked his lips and said, "I didn't expect that the surprise attack tonight would be so smooth! These Chinese soldiers are really vulnerable! If it wasn't for this damn high ground, I must kill them all!"

The staff officer next to him echoed: "Hahaha! These damn Chinese people must not have imagined that the imperial army would launch an attack at night, let alone that their colleagues had surrendered to the Empire of Japan, so they would relax their vigilance!
But then again, with their unstoppable combat power, even if they knew that the imperial army was coming, they couldn't resist the unstoppable attack of the imperial army!

At best, just stick to it for a few more minutes! "

"Hahaha!"

Major Guizi laughed a few times triumphantly.

At this time, a ghost second lieutenant hurried over. He gave the major a sharp pause and reported: "Report to your Excellency, the communication station has been established, please give instructions!"

"Yo Xi!"

Major Guizi nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered: "Immediately send power to the United Team Headquarters and the Brigade Headquarters, saying that my Seventh Battalion has successfully captured the 517th Highland of Jiaocheng Mountain according to the predetermined plan!"

"Hi Yi!"

Second Lieutenant Guizi paused again, almost turned around, and went back to the command post to send a telegram.
