    Soon, the ammunition stocks of each brigade were reported. Sure enough, as Zhang Xian said, the 18th Brigade and the 118th Brigade were basically out of ammunition, and all the ammunition reserved in the division headquarters had been distributed. The only thing left was some.  Only the 11th Brigade remained. Because this brigade served as a reserve for the reorganized 11th Division and guarded Nanmacheng, it did not fully engage with the Communist army, so it still had some inventory.

    Hu Congjun immediately called for Brigadier Yang Tao and asked him to take out all the ammunition of the 11th Brigade except a small amount and distribute it to the other two brigades that were facing the enemy head-on.  Brigadier Yang happily accepted the order and sent the ammunition of the 11th Brigade to the 18th Brigade and the 118th Brigade respectively.  Although the Air Force's ammunition airdrops continued during the day, the ammunition dropped was only a drop in the bucket, and it was only enough for each unit to fight for more than two hours at night.

    Faced with the dilemma of having no ammunition, both Hu Congjun and Zhang Xian were very anxious and could only try their best to collect bullets.  Hu Congjun also collected the ammunition of the troops directly under the division headquarters and sent it to the front line. At the same time, he ordered all those who were not directly fighting to collect the ammunition in their hands. Even the few ammunition carried by the command troops at the headquarters were ordered to be handed over.  When they came out, they were able to gather them into a pile and send them to the front line.  Hu Congjun also informed the three brigades that according to this method, ammunition should be replenished to the front line to the maximum extent.

    The most intense night of the 19th passed like this. At dawn, fighting was still going on everywhere. The 18th Brigade lost several more positions. Gaozhuang once faced the Huaye Nine Columns.  A direct attack, and two companies attacked the west of Gaozhuang. However, under the personal leadership of Brigadier Qin, the counterattack was successful and the Communist troops were driven out of Gaozhuang in the early morning.  The battle was so fierce that it worried Hu Congjun and everyone in the division headquarters. It was not until they heard that Gaozhuang had been recaptured that everyone heaved a sigh of relief.  However, positions such as Tianzhuang and Nanbu East Village in the west of Gaozhuang were occupied by the Communist troops.

    The communist army on the southern front was still entangled with Captain Qiao Shuqiang's company and was unable to conquer the strong siege; although the 52nd Regiment in the west also lost several positions, the entire regiment was under the leadership of the regiment commander.  , fought very tenaciously and kept the formation stable, and did not show a defeat. On the contrary, the besieging Communist troops laid thousands of corpses between the fort and the dangerous peak. At dawn, they had to postpone the attack.  .

    Although the Huaye Second Column to the east finally captured the Shagou position, it took two days and two nights and suffered heavy casualties.  At this time, Wujiaganzhuang, the main position of the 118th Brigade, has become the front line, but the defense there is stronger and more complete than that of Shagou. If the People's Liberation Army fought at the Shagou position for two days and two nights, then Wujiaganzhuang is afraid  It costs twice as much.

    Originally, the Lishan direction to the north should be the easiest position to defend in Nanmacheng. After all, there is only one pass there. Guarding that pass means guarding the north gate.  However, the battle for Mount Li reached a fevered pitch at this time. On the night of the 19th, the First Division of the Huaye Nine Columns once captured the top of the mountain. However, after dawn the next day, thirty of the 118th Brigade  Under the personal supervision of regiment leader Xu Haibo, the third regiment rushed to the top of the mountain and captured the position again.  On the evening of the 20th, although the battle between the two sides was still fierce, the position was still in the hands of the 33rd Regiment and was never lost again.  At this time, for other directions that could not be conquered for a long time, the People's Liberation Army also adjusted its deployment and regarded Lishan as a breakthrough, because if Lishan was captured, Beima would also be in the bag; Beima was South  The two places are closely connected with the barrier of Ma. If Beima is lost, it means the fall of half of Nanma city.

    The 33rd Regiment of the 118th Brigade was responsible for the defense of Lishan. At this time, the regiment commander Xu Haibo was already struggling. Zhang Xian and Hu Congjun discussed it and felt that the focus of the Communist Army had shifted from the south and west.  Moving to the north, this is a critical time. If you survive, victory will not be far away; if you slack off in the slightest, I am afraid that in the end, all your efforts will be in vain!

    "Teacher, I think it's better for me to go to Lishan to supervise!" Zhang Xian suggested to Hu Congjun.

    Hu Congjun thought for a moment, nodded, and told him at the same time: "Our reinforcements have arrived at Matou Gu in the south and are in the middle of a fierce battle with the enemy. As long as we hold on for two more days, I think we will definitely win this battle."  Coming! Ah Xian, when you go to Lishan, you must preach my words to all the soldiers and ask them to fight hard again!"

    Zhang Xian nodded, but there was a wry smile in his heart. Since yesterday, the reinforcements have arrived in Matougu. After a fierce battle all night, they have not broken through the Communist army's blockade. Don't be like Changde back then, who spent two days in two days.  Drag it until the end, drag it until the city is broken.  Of course, this was a worry in his heart, but he also knew that in this Jiaoguyan, such words could not be said. If he said it, it would definitely affect morale greatly.

    &nbsDark, and when night is approaching, they also need to take a rest, because their main battle is still at night. After ten o'clock in the evening, that is when their battle really begins again.

    Looking at the corpses scattered from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Zhang Xian couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He looked at Xu Haibo beside him and couldn't help but asked: "Old Xu, do you still remember the scene when we fought in western Hubei?  "

    "Of course I remember!" Xu Haibo nodded, that battle has been engraved in his mind for the rest of his life.

    Zhang Xian looked back at him, laughed miserably, and said: "At that time, we faced thousands of Japanese, and we didn't feel it was very difficult while we were fighting. At that time, I was still thinking, if I really had to die in the battle,  What a glorious thing it would be to be on the battlefield!"

    "Yes!" Xu Haibo also sighed. At that time, he was fighting against Japanese invaders. In the face of alien invasion, of course he had to risk his life, but now

    As if he guessed what he was thinking, Zhang Xian turned his head back. He didn't want to bring up other issues, which might undermine everyone's confidence.  No matter it was then or now, as a soldier, he is actually just a tool. Thinking about more profound truths will make his thoughts a bit burdensome. It is better to faithfully perform his duties!

    The evening breeze blew slowly through the mountains, but it carried a stench everywhere.  The corpses in the mountains have not been disposed of yet, and the two sides are still in the middle of a fierce exchange of fire. It is midsummer, and although the heavy rains in the past few days have brought a bit of coolness, the temperature has risen immediately after the rain. Those who were already  Bodies soaked in rain naturally decompose very quickly. This stench comes from the bodies of those who died in battle!

    Lishan Mountain is a branch of Lushan Mountain. In addition to this mountaintop guarding the pass to the north of Nanma, there are several mountaintops in the northwest direction, but they echo here. In the past few days of competition, those mountaintops have already  Captured by the People's Liberation Army, Lishan was also captured by its opponents, but fortunately it was recaptured by Xu Haibo.

    At this time, Zhang Xian and Xu Haibo were in the observatory in front, holding telescopes and looking at the mountains in the northwest. When they saw the People's Liberation Army moving intensively over there, Zhang Xian couldn't help but frowned.  .

    "What, did you find anything else?" Xu Haibo has been working with Zhang Xian for a long time, and he has already guessed something from his movements.

    Zhang Xian nodded, handed the binoculars to Xu Haibo, pointed to the mountain in the northwest, and said to him: "Look over there, the enemies are gathering again. I think there will definitely be another heavy battle tonight!"

    Xu Haibo saw the same scene as Zhang Xian in the telescope. Of course he knew the pressure he was under. He put down the telescope in his hand and suggested to Zhang Xian: "I think it's better for us to bombard them with heavy artillery first to give them a disincentive!"  "

    Zhang Xian nodded in agreement.

    Soon, the heavy mortars were in place, and the 106-caliber grenades hit the opposite mountain without any miss. The People's Liberation Army on the mountain scattered to avoid, and soon hid, looking at the enemy in the telescope in embarrassment.  Xu Haibo couldn't help laughing.

    Zhang Xian reminded him: "Old Xu, we must save our shells!"

    Xu Haibo nodded and then ordered the bombardment to stop.  When he turned his head, he suddenly thought of something and said to Zhang Xian: "By the way, A-Xian, there is one thing I almost forgot to tell you!"

    "Oh? What is it?" Zhang Xian asked quickly.

    Xu Haibo said: "During the day, I received a call from Chen Daxing on his walking machine. They are in Yutai Village at the foot of Lishan Mountain, very close to us!"

    "What did Chen Daxing say?" Zhang Xian immediately became energetic and asked immediately.

    "That boy led his search team to do something very remarkable. He actually encouraged a group of communist troops to rebel, and he also rescued a group of our captured people. He planned to retreat to Lijiang when it got dark.  Shan, wants me to pick him up!"

    Zhang Xian was stunned and suddenly felt something strange. He couldn't help but frowned again and fell into deep thought.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
