The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2380 A thankless job.

An hour later, Shang Zhen, Xiao Boji and the others came out from behind the mountain with weapons. They had to perform their duties as the supervisory team, but the speeches of the two people just now were still fresh in their minds!

"We are willing to accept defeat, and we can only blame our bad luck!
I say it again, there is no way out of the attack on Houer Pass this time. Either we take down Houer Pass and the rest of the people can survive. Or we cannot take down Houer Pass and the rest of the people can only be executed by military law!

I will lead the charge with everyone!" This was what the first person said in front of all the soldiers in the battalion. That person was the third battalion commander of the 223rd Regiment and the one who rolled the dice at the end.

What does it mean to be willing to accept defeat? Did the third battalion commander really accept defeat? Of course not! If you lose the bet, you have to take your own people to fight against Houer Sai. Do you dare not go? There will be military law behind you!
And this involves the second person's speech, which was spoken by the commander of their 223rd Regiment.

"Either we capture the monkey, or we all die on the way to the attack. It will be impossible to come back!
If three of your battalions are wiped out, the remaining two battalions can draw lots and go up again. If those two battalions are wiped out, I will lead the regiment headquarters and go up!
See them? They are the supervision team. This time they even brought heavy machine guns. Anyone who dares to run back or pretend to be dead will be brought to justice!"

After the two commanders of the first battalion of the regiment finished their speeches, the third battalion commander led the people of his battalion and went forward first. Shang Zhen and his men watched the officers and soldiers of that battalion walk past them. Not only did they have to face the cold eyes of the entire battalion, but they even "received" a lot of "Pah".

The job of supervising the battle team is really hateful!

"Damn it, these bastards in the division headquarters don't want to offend anyone, so why do they give us this wicked and shameless job!" Under the cover of trees, Xiao Boji cursed as he walked.

This job was assigned by their regiment commander Zhou Jingyong, but Xiao Boji knew that he could not scold Zhou Jingyong no matter what, so he could only scold the division headquarters.

"If you ask me, it would be better for us to charge forward!" Hu Chengzi muttered in a low voice.

"You are so stupid!" Lao Gu and Liu Lao Yao scolded him at the same time.

Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji are sworn brothers, so the people they each bring with them can be considered their confidants, and naturally everyone is familiar with each other.

Lao Gu and Liu Laoyao both scolded Hu Chengzi for being normal, but Hu Chengzi remained silent.

Can it be the same if others charge forward or if you charge forward yourself?

The terrain of Houersai is right in front of us.

The mountain is nearly a thousand meters high. The Japanese army set up their positions halfway up the mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As the attacking party, there is really no shortcut to take. A real attack is the only way. There is no shortcut at all. Surprise attack will not work here at all.

There is a Japanese squadron of more than 223 people above. God knows how many casualties the rd Regiment will suffer if they want to capture those people.

It turned out that their division had also sent troops to attack Houersai, but they were beaten back by the Japanese army.

If we don't take Hou'ersai back, the Japanese army's attack will never end. It seems that the division commander has made up his mind this time.

"Now let's see if I was wrong in forcing you to fight the Japanese?" Xiao Boji spoke again.

When Xiao Boji said this, Liu Laoyao said quickly, "You are very wise!"

"Fuck!" Little Blowing Trash was so angry at Liu Laoyao that he laughed!

Xiao Boji kept forcing the veterans in their company to fight the Japanese. They also suffered some casualties, but so what? After all, their results were greater than their losses, and most of their soldiers survived the battle.

This time, Xiao Boji and his men returned with another unexpected surprise. Originally, their company had a battle with the Japanese army after crossing the saddle on the side of Qingfeng Mountain, and only two platoons were left. The remaining platoon was either missing or killed in the battle, and the survivors could only think so.

But this time when they came back they were pleasantly surprised to find that half of the original platoon of veterans were miraculously waiting for them in the regiment and had actually met up with them!
How did those veterans survive? They simply climbed up trees or the steep mountain walls and hid there. The mountain was so big and there were so many trees that the Japanese army could not search every corner.

Among the soldiers who returned, there was one who tied himself to a tree while hungry and endured it for three days and three nights!

Therefore, in order to survive, human beings have unlimited potential!
Now Xiao Boji brought up the old topic again, because if they had not taken the initiative to attack the Japanese army and motivated other officers and soldiers of their regiment to fight against the Japanese army and achieved good results, how could they have known that the task of attacking Houersai would not have been assigned to their regiment this time?

You have to know that among the three regiments of their division, the 224th Regiment is the main force regiment and has made heavy sacrifices in defending Qingfeng Mountain.

This time when we attack Houersai, the division cannot send the 224th Regiment. The division commander cannot kill all the elite troops, right?

The reason why the division sent Xiao Boji and his group, which can also be called an elite supervision team, this time is probably because the idea is the same as when Xiao Boji forced the old soldiers to fight against the Japanese.

That is, leave no way for the soldiers to retreat, and make them fight to the death. Of course, the premise is that we don't know how many soldiers will die, either at the hands of the invaders or at the hands of the supervision team.

Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji led a platoon of soldiers to advance slowly under the cover of the terrain and vegetation. Occasionally, they would see the towering peak of Houer Pass in front of them through the gaps in the trees.

They needed to walk a few hundred meters away from the foot of Houersai Mountain, and then there would be a relatively flat bush in front of them.

The 223rd Battalion of the rd Regiment would rush across such an open area to attack the Japanese troops in Houersai, while they were hiding on this side of the bushes, pointing their guns at their own people!
"Brother, do we really have to shoot at our own people then?" When all of them were bending over and about to enter a pile of rocks, Xiao Boji asked Shang Zhen.

After Xiao Boji asked this, the others simply stopped.

Yes, did they really have to shoot at the retreating people of the 223rd Battalion of the rd Regiment?

"Do you even need to ask?" Shang Zhen replied without comment.

After Shang Zhen said this, Xiao Boji stopped grinning, because he already knew what Shang Zhen meant.

But just because he understands doesn't mean others understand.

"Captain, what do you mean?" This time Hu Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"I don't have the habit of shooting at my own people. They are just retreating, not surrendering." Shang Zhen finally made it clear.

Although Shang Zhen also dislikes the old soldiers in this division who have a sloppy style, it does not mean that he will shoot at the retreating soldiers!
Upon hearing Shang Zhen say this, everyone else couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't think too much. If we really can't take down Houersai, and the higher-ups force us to do things we don't want to do, I will take everyone back to Shandong." Shang Zhen said again.

Shang Zhen had no intention of being a supervisory team at all. Even though he and Xiao Boji only brought a platoon, they still brought a full range of weapons. They even brought a heavy machine gun and several grenade launchers.

Shang Zhen certainly wouldn't lead everyone to charge, but he was still prepared to provide fire support to the soldiers attacking Houersai in front.

After stating their intentions, Shang Zhen and his companions continued to move forward. They did not notice that someone had heard their conversation behind a large rock about ten meters away from them. That person was none other than the battalion commander of the 223rd Battalion of the rd Regiment.
