"Don't be careless! Immediately deploy! Take out all your weapons and prepare to fight!”Li Congjing ordered with a serious expression.
When Luo Tong saw this, he immediately stood at attention and saluted,""Yes, don't worry, sir! We can't lose the position at the small sharp mountain!" Then, he turned around and left.
Li Congjing, on the other hand, was lying on the observation port of the machine gun bunker, observing the mountain from time to time.
"Da Yong!"
Li Congjing turned to Wei Dayong and said,""Your 1st Battalion will occupy the position at Grass Shoes Ridge. From a high vantage point, you must coordinate with the position at Small Sharp Peak and defend the mountain pass! They would ruthlessly attack the incoming enemy! This enemy army consisted of the Imperial Association Army and the Japanese Army. They should have come from Pinglu County!”。
"Understood, sir! The position of the Grass Shoes Ridge was not impregnable, but it was still not a problem to hold on. Moreover, the reports from the secret sentries said that the surprise attack force made up of the Imperial Association Army and the Japanese Army didn't exceed a thousand. "Attacking my Black Cloud Stronghold with this amount of troops is simply courting death.”Wei Da Yong laughed coldly. He already knew the number of enemy troops. The number of troops on his side stationed at the Grass Shoes Ridge, the Small Sharp Mountain, and the mountain pass was more than 1,200. It was not a problem for him to easily block the enemy troops.
"We can't be careless!" Li Congjing said solemnly. Carry out the order!"
"Yes, sir!" Wei Da Yong saluted and left hurriedly, personally commanding the 1st Battalion to seize the opportunity to prepare for battle.
Li Congjing waved his hand and ordered the third battalion commander, Lin Dahai, who had rushed over from the main peak of the Black Cloud Stronghold,""Dahai, command the three battalions to move out. Immediately circle around the mountain entrance and wait for orders in the forest on both sides. When the battle starts, circle around the enemy's retreat! At that time, they would attack the enemy from both sides and try to wipe them out.”。
Once the battle started, this battalion would be able to outflank Ichiro's Japanese troops!
After all the arrangements were made, all the Tiger Troop soldiers in the Black Cloud Stronghold were alarmed. According to Li Congjing's deployment, they entered an emergency battle position. Fortunately, the Black Cloud Stronghold's terrain was dangerous. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Without a spy, it was impossible to take down the Black Cloud Stronghold.
Moreover, there were less than 800 people under Ichiro Hirata's command. Ichiro Hirata relied on his surprise attack, and Li Congjing and the others of the Black Cloud Stronghold did not know that he was coming. He thought that he could successfully break through the Black Cloud Stronghold in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, Li Congjing had a premonition and actually made a mistake.
At this moment, Ichiro Hirata was commanding the military police and the Imperial Association Army under Lei She. They were using the light of the night to step on the fallen leaves on the quiet mountain road and rush towards the Black Cloud Stronghold.
After the hidden sentries of the Tiger Troop discovered him five miles away, Hirata Ichiro had yet to realize that his surprise attack had already been discovered.
"Sir, that's the only mountain pass into the Black Cloud Stronghold! However, according to the testimony provided by the two bandits of the Black Cloud Stronghold, they could climb up from the cliff at the back of the mountain of the Black Cloud Stronghold! However, the drop of the cliff was a hundred meters. If one was not proficient in mountain climbing, it was impossible to climb up!”Taki Jiro pointed to the front and said to Hirata Ichiro. It was already dark, and they could clearly see the fire at the entrance of the Black Cloud Stronghold. It was a bonfire placed under the mountain pass of the Black Cloud Stronghold to prevent the enemy from attacking the mountain pass at night.
Ichiro Hirata nodded and ordered the troops to stop moving forward and wait for orders. He, Lei She, and Tian Qi Jiro moved forward stealthily and took out binoculars to observe.
"Taijun, the left side is the Grass Shoes Ridge, and the right side is the Small Sharp Mountain. The low place between the two mountains was the mountain path that led to the main peak of the Black Cloud Stronghold. Behind the mountain path was a mountain path that was more than 400 meters deep. On both sides of the mountain path were cliffs, and behind it was the main peak of the Black Cloud Stronghold! The main peak was the Black Cloud Stronghold's stronghold!”One of Xie Baoqing's bandits pointed at Hirata Ichiro in a trembling voice.
Ichiro Hirata looked on and nodded from time to time.
"Eight Geya Road! No wonder Xie Baoqing was able to hold his ground against the imperial army's encirclement. So this was where his nest was! It was indeed a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Going from the foot of the mountain to the mountain pass was a feint, and the slope was at least 50 degrees! Baka, it's a little difficult to fight!" The corner of Hirata Ichiro's mouth twitched. He had underestimated the terrain of Xie Baoqing's lair, the Black Cloud Stronghold.
It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they did not launch a surprise attack, the few of them would not be enough to suppress the few machine guns on both sides of the mountain pass.
The adjutant, Tanaki Jiro, also had lingering fears." Sir, if we alarm the enemy, I'm afraid we'll have to fight a tough battle! I'm afraid our troops are not enough!”
"Since we're here, we'll take it as it is!"
Ichiro said in an ancient language with a firm expression,"Before the enemy discovers us, get ready! Lei Sang!"
Seeing Hirata Ichiro's cold gaze flying over under the night sky, Lei She, the idiot, quivered and immediately said in a low voice without hesitation,"" Yes, Mrs. Hirata!"
He turned around, and Lei She's face turned bitter. He was really destined to be cannon fodder.
Ichiro Hirata did not relax. He sent a group of people to hold the line and directly supervised the Royal Association Army of the Lei She Division to attack the mountain pass and the small sharp mountain position on the side.
Lei She and his nephew, Lei Kou, braced themselves and brought the 400 people of the Imperial Association Army to quietly hide at the foot of the mountain.
"Camp Leader, it looks like the defense is lax. They probably did not expect someone to attack the Black Cloud Stronghold at night!”After observing for a while, Lei Kou whispered to Lei She.
Lei She was an old fox. He observed the Grass Shoes Ridge, the Small Sharp Mountain, and the mountain pass. Although he could vaguely see the drowsy looks of the Tiger Troop soldiers stationed behind the fortifications at the mountain pass, Lei She, the old fox, still maintained his vigilance.
