Chapter 134 I am Li Xiuhe, squad leader of 1st platoon, and we are also called Lan Fang!
Xu Zhenhua was very fast, and the soldiers following him were even faster. A small team rushed down the mountain without looking back.
There will be no problem if the southeastern defense line is handed over to Zhang Zhigang. The biggest difficulty in defending Pingnan is the lack of heavy firepower. There are only two 107 launchers and several 120 mortars left in the machine repair company.
The weapons used by the guard troops were also eliminated from the original reinforced battalion, mainly Springfield rifles and supplemented by Thompson submachine guns.
This was also the reason why Xu Zhenhua rushed back in such a hurry. In addition, the mall was out of money and could not afford to buy a large number of rockets. The dozens of packages he brought back were all filled with grenades...
On the other side, at the forefront of the southeastern defense line, the Gui army's scattered artillery fire hit the mountain ridge...
A large group of bandits, mixed with the Gui army, rushed up the hillside and were about to reach the top...
Inside the trench, the farewell voice of a woman on the walkie-talkie made all the soldiers' eyes turn red. In an instant, rifle bullets rained down the mountain like they were free.
At the same time, orders from the front-line commander came over the walkie-talkie.
"Remove restrictions on weapon use and immediately initiate a full-scale counterattack..."
The detective platoon soldiers stationed at various defense lines reacted the fastest, first switching their 81 rifles to burst fire. Several guards nearby set up their Thompsons, while the rest desperately threw grenades down the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, rows of automatic fire formed a visible barrage of bullets. Grenades rained down, many of which exploded mid-air. Groups of bandits fell in an instant...
In the distance, at the Gui army's temporary command post, Sun Shuming held up his binoculars, completely unable to believe what he was seeing. The surging force from several directions seemed to have hit a solid wall, instantly crumbling...
Impossible, impossible, how could Pingnan have so many light machine guns? How could there be so many grenades?
"Quick! Order the artillery to destroy the machine gun position on the mountain. Order the supervision team to intensify the attack of the main force. We must tie up the main force of Pingnan now to create an opportunity for the surprise attack!"
"Yes!" Before the signalman could move, he saw two rows of flames suddenly rising in Pingnan City.
Sun Shuming looked up at the sky, confused. Was it a flare? Or a signal flare?
The next moment, he knew what it was. He saw the flames disappear in the distance, followed by a deafening explosion...
"Report! Chief of Staff, two of our artillery positions were bombarded by the enemy, and all our troops were wiped out..."
What? Sun Shuming was stunned. Pingnan actually had such a powerful weapon? And they could actually hit their own artillery battery with such precision in the darkness, with just a single salvo...
The night in early May was still a little chilly, but at this moment, cold sweat broke out on Sun Shuming's forehead. He had fought for so many years and had no battlefield sensitivity. He didn't know how many times he would have died.
Not good! Pingnan has so many machine guns and such terrifying heavy firepower, but they have been hiding it to no avail. There must be some conspiracy. In just a moment, Sun Shuming felt like retreating...
At this time, another signalman ran over.
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, the observation post detected a violent explosion at Pingnan North Peak. It may be that the 2nd Regiment succeeded!"
Sun Shuming was at a loss when he heard this, not knowing whether to continue fighting or retreat. Suddenly, two bright spots appeared in Pingnan City again, and soon disappeared into the attacking forces...
Sun Shuming immediately made a judgment that Pingnan did not have many of this kind of heavy firepower.
"Pingnan is getting anxious after this powerful attack. The more anxious they are, the more critical the moment. Order the troops to continue the all-out attack. Join forces with the 2nd Regiment to attack from both sides and take Pingnan down in one fell swoop. Also, charge forward with the reserves..."
"Yes, sir!"
-------------
The fighting on the southeastern front was fierce, but Xu Zhenhua couldn't focus on it. He was furious. His truck was stuck near the ancestral hall. The road was blocked by a large number of refugees who had been resettled at the Black Temple. The fierce gunfire scared the ordinary people, who fled southwest along the road...
Looking at the main road that was completely blocked, Xu Zhenhua was anxious...
Pingnan was short of troops, and there was no problem with Zhang Zhigang's deployment. The northwest side, where the defensive pressure was the least, was handed over to the 2rd Company of the 3nd Battalion of the Guards, a company composed of female soldiers.
When this women's combat company was first formed, there were actually many internal disagreements, but they were all suppressed by Xu Zhenhua. The reason was simple: the instructor said that women hold up half the sky.
Also, during the conscription on the 3rd, there were dozens of young women among the young people who came to apply. Xu Zhenhua did not intend to disappoint them, so he incorporated them all into the militia. As the militia was upgraded to a guard force, the women's team was also expanded to the size of a company.
Now, although the women's company had lost the North Peak, they lived up to their military status. Not a single female soldier in the second platoon surrendered, and some even fought to the last man, detonating the explosives on the North Peak and perishing alongside the enemy...
Just now, the front reported that the North Peak has been lost. There are more than two battalions of regular enemy troops outside the mountain pass. The nearby militia has been temporarily recruited and has rushed to support...
...
At this time, Xu Zhenhua had already abandoned the vehicle and was moving forward on foot. However, facing the huge crowd, this small team, the only one moving against the flow, could not move fast at all...
At this moment, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and it was a calm female voice!
"Reporting to headquarters, this is the 2st Platoon of the 3rd Company of the 1nd Battalion. The machine gun position on the high ground of the North Peak opposite our platoon has been destroyed. The enemy has launched a ground attack. Our platoon is determined to defend the machine gun position on the west side to the death. Requesting support immediately..."
...
Xu Zhenhua looked toward the north. In the darkness, a flash of fire suddenly erupted from the machine guns across from the North Peak. It died down after a moment, and then an explosion echoed down the mountain pass.
After a while the machine gun opened fire again...
Xu Zhenhua understood instantly that the North Peak opposite the 1st Platoon had been occupied by the enemy. They were firing at the machine gun position of the 1st Platoon from a high position. The North Peak was dark and there was no trace of the enemy. The 1st Platoon could not even cover the machine gunners.
The female soldiers opposite Beifeng could only rush out of the fortifications one after another, using their flesh and blood to withstand Beifeng's bullets and snipe at the enemy on the ground, buying time for the main force...
In just a moment, Xu Zhenhua's cheeks were moist. He had visited that company before and met all the female soldiers. They were in the prime of their lives, and yet they resolutely joined the army at the best age...
To be honest, in terms of combat effectiveness, they were indeed much weaker, but Xu Zhenhua could see at that time that this army was also determined to defend the country.
The walkie-talkie called again, it was another female voice, as sweet as wind chimes.
"I'm Xu Cuihua, a soldier from Squad 1. Tell my mother, I'm an unfilial daughter!"
The electromagnetic noise died down, and the distant machine guns lit up again. Not long after, explosions were heard again at the mountain pass...
At this moment, Xu Zhenhua suddenly understood, and his teeth were about to break. In order to prevent their bodies from occupying the machine gun position, those female soldiers jumped towards the enemy troops below the mountain with explosive packs before dying...
...
Xu Zhenhua, blocked by a large group of refugees, had eyes that seemed to be spitting out anger. He saw many young men with faces that were either numb or panicked...
He then ordered the squad to continue moving forward, while Xu Zhenhua turned and ran towards the town government radio station!
Shortly after!
Pingnan Radio was activated at the same time, and huge curses resounded throughout the streets.
"Damn it! I'm Xu Zhenhua, the mayor of Pingnan County. To all the men in Pingnan City, I'm asking you, feel the mess in your crotch. Are you still there? Damn it! A bunch of women are bleeding and sacrificing their lives up front..."
After a while, a live call came from the broadcast system...
"I'm Li Xiuhe, squad leader of the first platoon. We all call you Lan Fang! Long live Pingnan!"
Soon, another flash of fire appeared at Beishankou...
