    "Why is the little devil not moving?" Hu San looked at the Japanese position below with some strangeness.

    "I want to retreat." Xia Yang said, pointing to the rear of the Japanese camp and said: "Did you see that the logistics troops of the Japs have already begun to march outside Mount Wutai. The ones who stayed behind were the combat troops of the Japs.  Responsible for the rear."

    Hu Sandao: "My dear, these bastard little devils really want to retreat, so do we want to pursue them? Master."

    ??

    Hu San then asked: "Then when will we pursue?"

    Xia Yang said: "It's very simple, at night. Even if the enemy's tens of thousands of troops want to retreat, they can only retreat one unit at a time, otherwise they will fall into chaos and become a rout. At this time,  The troops staying behind are our targets."

    "Aren't you going to eat up the 114th Division?" Hu San said, looking at the Japanese camp below.

    Xia Yang slapped Hu San on the back of the head and said, "Eat shit, can we eat it? Aren't we afraid of stretching ourselves to death?"

    Hu San said: "We can eat it, so what are we afraid of?"

    Xia Yang said: "Okay, go back and notify the troops to prepare for combat."

    Other units of the Japanese army did not start to retreat to the rear during the day like the logistics troops.  They were waiting for nightfall. At that time, the enemy could not figure out their movements and it was safest to retreat.

    But this is basically useless for Xia Yang and the others, because they have very rich night investigation methods.  Every move of the Japanese troops below Xiongfeng Ridge was basically under their control.

    In the evening, the Japanese army began to lay mines in front of Xiongfeng Ridge.

    They laid mines very intensively in order to block the pursuit of Xia Yang and his troops to the greatest extent.  Xia Yang had also anticipated this, so they had already sent the troops to pass through the steel cables on the cliffs on the flanks of Xiongfeng Ridge, descending along the cliffs, bypassing the Japanese minefield, and attacking them from the flanks.

    However, the number of troops descending from the cliffs on both sides was limited after all, only about 2,000. They could only entangle the Japanese troops at the rear and eliminate as many of them as possible.

    So in addition, Xia Yang also began to have the artillery troops prepare to use artillery shells to directly detonate the mines that hindered their progress.  When the time comes, people will be able to chase the Japanese army, which will save a lot of energy.

    Suematsu Shigeshi took one last look at Xiongfeng Ridge in front of him. In the dark night, the back of Xiongfeng Ridge was like a giant standing there.

    "I will cross there again!" Suematsu Shigeshi thought, put down the telescope in his hand, mounted his horse, followed his guard and left here, walking along the mountain road into the distance.

    Behind him is a regiment responsible for the rear. They will evacuate in the middle of the night and catch up with the main force.

    But these people didn’t know that at this moment, on the hillside of Xiongfeng Ridge, the enemy on the opposite side was not sleeping and resting, but was already gearing up and preparing to pursue them.

    Xia Yang looked at the time on the watch. The hour hand slowly came to ten o'clock.

    "The enemy still has one regiment of troops left. Should we start a pursuit?" A soldier ran over and asked loudly.

    ??

    "Yes! Master." The soldier shouted.

    At this time, nearly a hundred artillery pieces on the Fourth Division artillery position a few kilometers away from here were ready for bombardment.

    Their targets were minefields and Japanese camps.

    "Start the bombardment!" Cai Heyuan said loudly.

    With his order, the soldiers skillfully stuffed the shells into the barrel, and then fired them directly with loud noises.

    With the sound of howling, the soldiers of the Fourth Division and the Eighth Route Army had already walked out of their positions and came to the hillside of Xiongfeng Ridge to prepare for a charge.

    And at this moment, shells flew over their heads and landed directly a few hundred meters in front of them.

    There are minefields laid by the Japanese army, and there are Japanese minefields further back.The camp was also threatened by artillery at this time.

    “Boom, boom, boom!!!”

    A violent explosion came from in front of them.  When the artillery shell landed on the ground, it not only exploded on its own, but also detonated many landmines laid by the Japanese army through the explosion.

    The fire caused by the explosion almost illuminated the entire night.  In the Japanese camp, the Japanese troops, who had originally entered a blocking position and were ready to block the soldiers rushing down from Xiongfeng Ridge, were suddenly bombarded. They did not expect it at all.

    For a time, the screams of soldiers after being injured could be heard throughout the entire position, mixed in with the roar of artillery.

    “The enemy is about to attack, be prepared to block, don’t let the enemy threaten our main force.” The Japanese 115th Regiment was responsible for blocking, and its captain Yazaki Setuzo was shouting at this time.

    The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes, and the artillery fire covered the entire Japanese camp and the minefield.

    The minefields that the Japanese army spent several hours laying out basically had no effect before they were detonated.  Those shells were like iron plows plowing the ground, turning over the entire minefield.

    "Start charging!!" Xia Yang shouted.

    The soldiers who had been waiting on the hillside immediately began to charge down the mountain.  At the same time, dozens of flares also rose into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky brightly.

    At the moment when the soldiers charged, the heavy machine gun positions built on the hillside also began to fire at the Japanese camp below.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
