    The east has turned white. The brigade commander sent more people to join the guard team. Taking advantage of the fact that there is still some time before dawn, he quickly arranges for the soldiers to take a nap. Mine clearing cannot begin until the sky is completely bright.

    The Japanese who had been busy for most of the night lay down and fell asleep. The Japanese soldiers who were on guard looked around with vigilance. When they had time, they looked enviously at their sleeping companions underground. It would be dawn soon. There would probably be no one like them.  It's time to change the guard.

    "Company commander, why are the Japanese sleeping again?" A soldier asked his company commander in a ditch more than 100 meters away from the roadside.

    "Of course the Japanese fell asleep when they were dozed off. You won't sleep when you are dozed off." Erga, the reconnaissance company commander, glared at the soldier angrily.

    "The Japs fought with us most of the night. How could they sleep?" This soldier was quite talkative. He chased Erga and asked questions before he finished.

    "That's because there are so many Japs. They don't care how many of them die. Everyone is like a kid like you. After fighting all night, they are still energetic and can't sleep. Ah" Erga opened his mouth and shouted.  Yawned.

    "Heh, company commander, please stop pretending. I think you are the most energetic in our company." The soldier curled his lips. He seemed a little dissatisfied with Erga pretending to be sleepy in front of him.

    Actually, let alone the two of them. Inside and outside the ditch, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company are more energetic than the other. Especially the company commander Erga. His eyes are brighter than usual during the day.

    "It's almost dawn. We should change places after giving the Japanese one last greeting." Erga put the rifle loaded with bullets on the edge of the ditch. "Inform the soldiers. Listen to the sound of my gun and shoot together. Each of them will shoot two  Fire bullets and retreat quickly."

    "Yes." The soldier next to him agreed and went to deliver the order.

    Erga was holding his rifle and looking for targets in the group of Japs. Aiming at this, aiming at that. Everything seemed good. Why were all the Japs standing with guns? There were only two shots. Erga hoped to kill a Japs.  officer.

    "Company commander, all the soldiers have been notified." The messenger came over and reported. He climbed to the side of the company commander holding his rifle.

    "You can only shoot two shots. Hurry up and retreat with me after the shooting." Erga warned the messenger. His eyes did not stop looking for the target for a moment.

    ????????????? Just when Erga put his index finger on the trigger and was already planning to find a Japanese soldier and shoot him, a Japanese suddenly stood up next to a fire.

    The distance is a bit far. The sky seems bright and not bright at all. When the night is darkest, you can see the clearest thing by standing next to the fire in the dark; let alone under the sun during the day. What is the best thing to see with sufficient light and visibility?  We all know it; the sky has turned white at this moment. We can vaguely see some spots around us, but we can't see clearly. The people standing by the fire can't see clearly in the middle of the night.

    Erga couldn't tell whether the Japs standing up were officers or soldiers. He just saw that the guy didn't have a rifle in his hand. Moreover, the two alert Japs next to him nodded at the guy as if to say hello. Who cares?  Whether it's an officer or a soldier, it's up to you.

    "Pah." The clear sound of gunfire cut through the silence of dawn. The Japanese who was targeted by Erga fell down. "Pap, pah, pah." Countless gunshots followed. The gunshots sounded like exploding beans in an instant.  It resounded throughout the battlefield.

    Erga¡¯s second shot hit a standing Japanese soldier casually. It felt as if the Japanese soldier also fell down. He was no longer interested in checking the results of the battle.

    "Hurry up." He growled at the messenger. Erga raised his feet and walked away. The messenger had finished shooting two bullets. He grabbed his rifle and followed the company commander, and ran forward quickly along the ditch.

    The sound of gunfire came and went quickly. Three minutes later, under the order of General Matsuno, the Japanese army stopped shooting. The surroundings fell into silence again. There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and the occasional painful sound of gunshots from the ground.  It reminds people that a fierce battle just took place here.

    The casualty figures have been calculated. The Matsuno detachment has sacrificed another reinforced team, and there is also an additional team of wounded. In comparison, what is more unacceptable is that the commander of the 69th Division Miura Chujiro was regarded as  Friendly assistance. The captain of the 118th Independent Battalion, Major Shota Akahoshi, was sent over. Unfortunately, he became a god in the attack before dawn.

    General Matsuno could already imagine Miura Chujiro's angry expression. None of the senior officers who were being helped died. But the top commander who came to help died first. This is too unpleasant to say. But there is nothing we can do about it. This is  On the battlefield, no one can guarantee that he will not die.

    You have to blame. You can only blame the Major Akahoshi Shota himself. You said it was not good for you to just lie there and sleep. Why did you stand up if nothing happened? Matsuno O Katsaki has already found out. Major Akahoshi suddenly stood up.  I wanted to check the status of the guard soldiers. As a result, the first bullet fired by the attacker hit the major's abdomen and penetrated his liver. Shota Akahoshi was lifeless at that time.

    "Send a report. Inform the commander of the 69th Division Miura Chujiro and the captain of the 118th Independent Infantry Battalion that Major Akahoshi Shota is not"Killed in action."

    Commander Matsuno's brigade was as dark as a pot. This telegram was sent. Miura Chujiro didn't know how to scold him yet. If he complained, he would definitely not be able to escape. When this battle is over, he would have to go back to ask his acquaintances and find someone.  Guan Guan filed a lawsuit with Lieutenant General Miura.

    Why is there so much trouble in a good fight? It¡¯s better to just fight to the death this time and not go back. Matsuno O Katsaki cursed himself hard in his heart.

    "Start mine clearing." Since Lieutenant General Miura of the 69th Division is definitely going to be offended, let's just offend him severely. Major General Matsuno's attitude towards the mine clearing team suddenly changed. His tone of voice also changed from pleasant to harsh.  .

    The engineers of the mine clearance team had been exhausted, frightened and frightened by the overnight attacks. The engineers did not have much resentment towards Major General Matsuno's bad attitude. Lieutenant Muto and the engineers were like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.  Without saying a word, I took out the minesweeper and started the day's work.

    The engineers had to stop once they were clearing mines. Attacks were always intermittent. Although General Matsuno had tried his best to protect the minesweepers. When the Matsuno detachment passed through dozens of kilometers of roads covered with mines, they saw Han Valley.  It was already the evening of the third day when the gate was closed.

    Twenty-five kilometers and three days of walking. This kind of marching speed made Major General Matsuno O Katsaki completely unable to get angry. However, when the Matsuno detachment lost its troops and was exhausted, it went through all kinds of hardships and reached the foot of Hangu Pass.  At that moment, the major general was greeted by nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the 500th Division of the 500th Army, with their arrows already in the bow and their swords unsheathed.

    There are eight brick-and-stone defensive fortresses built on both sides of the gate, four on each side. There are red flags fluttering in the wind on the hills on both sides. Obviously, the top is also occupied by the defenders. This is a heavily guarded fort.  Three-dimensional defensive fortress.

    "Get ready to fight." Commander Matsuno brigade pulled out his command sword and shouted. He encouraged himself and his Japanese soldiers. We are already here. We can't just turn around and go back. Let's fight.
