"But how easy is it to attack Guishan Fortress directly?" Stilwell said, "The mountains on the northern foot are steep and narrow, and the troops are difficult to expand. It would be good if there is naval support in the eastern foot. Unfortunately, the Japanese Navy was blocked at this time and could not reach Wuhan in a short time. The western foot is attacked from both sides, and the southern foot is even worse!"

Zhong Yi smiled and shook his head: "But Fujita Jin probably won't think so."

"Why?" Stilwell had the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the whole story.

"No reason." Sun Liren suddenly said, "The Japanese have made a choice!"

"Huh?" Stilwell looked up quickly when he heard this, and indeed saw the dense Japanese infantry starting to roll forward and crush towards the northern foot of Guishan Mountain.

At this moment, Stilwell said: "The Japanese army really intends to attack Guishan and choose the northern foothills?"

Zhong Yi said, "It seems that this Fujita Jin is really as honest as the legendary one, hey!"

Sun Liren nodded and said, "Zi Ren, then I will go to the northern foothill first. Although the terrain of the northern foothill is dangerous, I only set up an infantry battalion there. I am worried that something will happen!"

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Go!"

...

On the northern foot of Guishan Mountain, the defensive position of the 1st Battalion of the 112th Regiment of the Anti-Smuggling Corps.

The entire Guishan Mountain is moving north and south, and looks like a giant turtle lying at the mouth of Sanjiang River. The northern foot of the giant turtle is at the tail of the giant turtle. The mountain is steep and narrow!

After inspecting the terrain on the northern foot of Guishan Mountain on the spot, Zhang Yuandong designed three lines of defense.

The first line of defense is at the foot of the mountain on the northern foot of Guishan Mountain. It is a trench half-surround Guishan. In the middle of the trench is mixed with heavy machine gun fortifications reinforced with concrete, and there are tunnels that connect to the mountainside and fortifications on the top of the mountain. When necessary, reinforcements from the top and mountainside can go down the mountain to reinforce from the tunnel!

The second line of defense is located on the mountainside on the northern foot of Guishan Mountain. This line of defense is composed of four bunkers, which are supported by each other, and there are tunnels connected to the semi-circular trench at the foot of the mountain, and the main fort at the top of the mountain is also connected to the tunnels.

The third line of defense is located on the top of the mountain on the northern foot of Guishan Mountain. It is an extremely sturdy five-story bunker! The three layers of this five-story bunker are hidden underground, and the two layers are exposed on the surface. There are tunnels below to the main fortress at the bottom of Guishan Mountain's main peak, and there are also military facilities such as hospitals, dormitories, command posts, and ammunition depots.

The first line of defense guarding the foot of the mountain was the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 112th Regiment of the Anti-Smuggling Corps.

Looking at the Japanese slowly approaching the wilderness ahead, Liu Laohang couldn't help but feel a little nervous because he was still a new recruit!

After being ordered to rebuild the Anti-smuggling Corps, Sun Liren absorbed more than 5,000 veterans from the former Tax Police Corps and added some veterans from other troops, but the new recruits also added a lot.

Liu Laohuan was the anti-smuggling corps that he participated in at this time.

Although he has been trained for three months and has trained all kinds of military skills, even the instructor praised him for his talent in shooting, and said that he will definitely become an excellent sniper in the future.

But the new recruits were new recruits after all. Looking at the Japanese approaching the wilderness ahead, Liu Laohuan was so nervous that he was almost breathless.

At this moment, a strong hand was placed on Liu Laohang's shoulder.

Turning back a little bit, Liu Laohan saw that at some point, the platoon leader Hu San was already standing beside him.

"Old Hang, don't be nervous." Hu San smiled slightly and said, "The Japanese are actually humans, and they also carry their heads on both shoulders. If you shoot them, they will die!"

"Yes!" Liu Laohuan nodded a little bit, but in fact he didn't listen to anything at all.

Hu San didn't say anything more. He also came from the recruits. He knew that everything he said was unnecessary at this time. After the battle, as long as Liu Lao Hang survived, he would understand everything.

Soon, the Japanese had entered within two kilometers and began to build attack positions.

Then, a thin cloud of smoke rose from the horizon in the distance, and then, a short and harsh whistle sounded in the sky, and the Japanese began to shell the gun!

"Anti-cannons are being fired, the Japanese are bombarding!" Hu San immediately roared at the top of his lungs.

While roaring, Hu San rushed to an anti-aircraft hole not far away, then stopped after running for less than two steps, and then looked back and saw that Liu Lao Hang was still standing in place like wood.

Hu San quickly turned back, grabbed Liu Laohan and ran forward.

Running to the anti-aircraft hole, Hu San first pushed Liu Laohang forward vigorously, and then bent down and got into it.

Almost as soon as Hu San got in, the Japanese shells fell down. Then, clouds of smoke rose up at the foot of the mountain on the northern foot of Guishan Mountain!

"Boom!" A shell landed outside the trench and exploded violently, causing a large amount of boiling sand and soil to splash in the sky.

"Boom!" A shell landed directly in the trench. The air waves generated by the explosion instantly collapsed the solid trench seven or eight meters long. The cement debris and sand and gravel were even like bullets, shooting around the trench. One of them was rubbed against Hu San's nose. Almost, Hu San's nose tip was no longer safe!

During the continuous violent explosion, another shell fell into the circular trench, and it happened to land in front of an anti-aircraft hole. The large number of fragments produced by the explosion instantly shot two veterans of the National Army hiding in the anti-aircraft hole into sieves. However, before being shot into sieves, the two had already fainted by the air waves generated by the explosion.

Therefore, the two veterans of the national army did not feel any pain before their death.

The Japanese shelling lasted for a full half hour and threw nearly two thousand shells!

Half an hour later, the Japanese began to shoot the depth of the Guishan position. The screams of shells and explosions gradually faded away, and the veterans of the 1st Company emerged from the anti-aircraft shelter.

Liu Laohan also followed Hu San's butt and crawled out with his thorny brain.

Seeing Hu San lying skillfully in front of the trench, Liu Laohan also fell down.

Soon, the smoke and dust that filled the position began to slowly dissipate.

Then Liu Laohan's pupils suddenly shrank because he saw that less than a thousand meters ahead, at least one hundred Japanese had opened the sparse scattered line and rushed towards their positions.

Except for a few Japanese officers holding sabers, most Japanese soldiers were carrying 38-shaped covers with bayonets. Under the sunset, cold lights reflected from the bayonets, making people dizzy.

Liu Laohan was so dizzy that he couldn't even concentrate!

Then, Liu Laohan found that his legs began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and at the same time, an indescribable fear also rose from the depths of his heart!

ps: I would like to pay tribute to the deceased veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Song!
