Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 441 Chapter 440, Come in, it's a death
"Here..." At the southern exit of the Line of Sky, Captain Matsushita looked at the cliff that was only a few meters wide but dozens of meters high, and at the sky that was only a strip above his head, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a masterpiece of nature! Such a place can't be found in our country! So, we came here to conquer this place and make it our territory!"

"However, in order to prevent the loss of too many lives of the imperial soldiers, I have decided to send out a reconnaissance team as our vanguard! Suzuki? Take your team and attack forward, point out the direction for the main force, and investigate the enemy situation ahead!"

"Ha Yi!" Suzuki Jiro was called, bowed, and led his team into the valley of the thin sky. The thin sky is not straight like a knife or an axe, it is curved. So, after only advancing more than 30 meters, Suzuki Jiro and his team disappeared from the sight of many Japanese soldiers.

As time went on, the mountain wind whistled through the narrow gap, bringing with it the shouts and footsteps of Suzuki Jiro and his men, and even the sound of bayonets rubbing against the cliff. But soon, the sound became smaller and smaller, until only the humming sound of the mountain wind blowing against the cliff remained.

Bang... Bang... Crack... About 20 minutes later, a burst of gunfire came from the valley, and in between, there were screams amplified by the echo of the cliff. Soon, four Japanese soldiers ran out from the narrow gap, holding the straps of their backpacks in their hands, and the straps were tied to Suzuki's body.

As for Suzuki himself? He was limp at this moment, with a long trail of blood extending from the depths of the narrow gap. As the devils got closer, the blood line also got closer.

"Report to the captain, we were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the valley. There are only five of us left in the squad, and the squad leader is also seriously injured!" A Japanese soldier reported, gasping for breath.

"It's not five people, it's four! Your squad leader has died for his country!" Squadron Leader Matsushita looked at the silent Suzuki and asked, "Tell me about the situation inside!"

"Hayi! This valley is very narrow for the first two or three hundred meters, just as wide as the valley entrance. There are towering, almost vertical cliffs on both sides, and it is impossible to climb up! Then after a distance of more than three hundred meters, the valley gradually widens, just like what is said in the Chinese article called "Peach Blossom Spring", it becomes wider and wider, and the cliffs become more and more sloping..."

"Speak to the point!" Captain Matsushita suspected that the soldier was deliberately prolonging his speech out of fear and cowardice.

"The point is, after 400 meters, the Line of Sky is no longer there. Instead, it becomes a trumpet-shaped valley. The further you go in, the wider it is! And our squad encountered a position set up by the Eighth Route Army when we were about 100 meters past the Line of Sky. There were 6 heavy machine guns set up on the commanding heights, and a series of strafing shots killed most of our people." The Japanese soldier lowered his head after he said this.

"It's just an ordinary valley ahead, but there are 6 heavy machine guns..." Matsushita muttered the devil's words, his mind racing. It's obvious that there is only one platoon of Eighth Route Army soldiers on the Yixiantian side, and some of them have been sent to stand guard at the medical station. Compared with this side, the defense force on the valley side is obviously much stronger, so important...

"Yo, now that we have investigated the terrain of the Line of Sky clearly, let's attack! Signalman, connect the telephone line to the artillery team, we need some artillery reinforcements! Go and tell the artillery to use this position as the coordinate point and look north... Start bombing at 500 meters and extend it to 800 meters." Panasonic said.

The phone line was quickly connected, and the Japanese artillery squad leader frowned when he heard it! In the past, they had fought over several kilometers, but most of them were in plains. Now they are fighting in the mountains, the height in front is obviously much higher than their side, and there are hills in the middle to block them. How can they accurately fire the shells?
However, the captain of the artillery squad did not raise any objections, but told Panasonic that they would have a 5-minute artillery bombardment and asked Panasonic to pay attention to the time.

Soon, the two Japanese mountain guns started the blind firing mode! There were no accurate coordinates, no clear reference points, and no artillery observation balloons for observation. What else could they ask for? Just explode... So, the shells flew over the thin line of sky, and exploded in the north of the thin line of sky with a bang, and the landing point... was random.

"What are the Japanese doing?" On the northern defense position, the soldiers looked at the random artillery shells exploding on the mountain, and they were confused. Is there such a thing? So the soldiers raised their heads and watched the artillery shells explode one by one, just like setting off fireworks for the New Year.

Of course, the soldiers also knew that under such circumstances, the battle would soon begin! So, the veterans wiped their hands on their clothes, the machine gunners once again raised the grip of the Min 24, and even Li Yunlong raised his box gun, intending to fire a flat shot and sweep.

The rumbling sound of explosions reached the medical station not far from the valley entrance. At this time, more than an hour had passed since Li Yuexuan's operation. At this moment, Xu Hongying's operation was completed, and Li Yuexuan was treating another wounded person.

Hearing the sound of the explosion, Li Yuexuan's heart tightened a little, but with strong willpower, he controlled his trembling fingers and carefully sutured the wounded. Now was not the time for him to fight; now was the time for him to fight...

In the narrow valley, two squads of Japanese soldiers were 200 meters apart and approaching the north quietly. The Japanese soldiers listened to the explosions, held their weapons, and bent their bodies, fearing that a string of bullets would hit them head-on. But looking down from above, they looked like a string of shrimps on skewers waiting to be put on the grill.

Why is there a perspective from above? ? There are people on the narrow gap! Didn’t the special forces soldiers and the first company soldiers go up there in part? They also prepared a lot of grenades on the mountain. Now there are people watching the advancing team of the Japanese.

"Send a message to the regiment commander and the company commander. There are only 107 Japanese soldiers who have entered the narrow gap, and the rest are still outside the narrow gap!" On the top of the cliff, Tianchuan held a tree trunk with one hand, glanced at the valley floor below, and whispered to the soldiers beside him.

"Understood..." The soldier made a gesture, then quietly left the cliff, ran to a position where Li Yunlong and his friends could see him, and waved the red flag in his hand.

"Only a few Japanese soldiers got in? They are really careful..." Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said decisively: "Tell them to blow up! Don't leave any alive!"

Soon, the soldier who went to deliver the message came to Tianchuan and told him the order.

"Everyone..." Tianchuan's voice was not loud, but it could be heard by the people around him, and then it spread from person to person to dozens of people on both sides.

When everyone looked at Tianchuan, they saw him make a gesture, then take out two grenades from the box, pull the rope hard, and throw them into the canyon with a whoosh.

Seeing Tianchuan's actions, everyone followed suit and threw two grenades each... Then, amid the roar of the Japanese artillery fire, a series of explosions were heard at the bottom of the valley in the northern section of Yitiantian.
