    Seeing that the Japanese army began to retreat, Xia Yang immediately ordered: "The troops stopped shooting, started transporting the wounded, and checked the ammunition."

    After receiving the order, the soldiers began to stop shooting.  Only some recruits were still aiming their rifles at the retreating Japanese troops below, wanting to try their luck with a few more shots, but basically these bullets had no way of hitting the enemy.

    After repelling the first attack of the Japanese army, a burst of cheers came from the position.  But those who cheered were basically the new recruits, while the veterans were checking their weapons and equipment to see if there were any wounds on their bodies.

    When people are in fierce battles, because their brains are highly excited, sometimes they may not even know they are injured.  Therefore, these experienced veterans, in addition to checking their weapons and equipment, will also check whether there are any injuries on their bodies.

    Those veterans knew very well that this attack by the Japanese army was more of a test, and the next round of attacks would be a targeted and violent attack.

    The people from the stretcher team had already rushed up at this time and began to put the sick and wounded on the position and transport them through the path to the temporary field hospital in the rear.

    If the injured are seriously injured, they need to be briefly treated in the temporary field hospital and then transported to the general hospital in the ancient city of Mongolia to receive better treatment.

    The Japanese army left dozens of corpses on the hillside, and some corpses were taken away by the Japanese army when they retreated.  On the battlefield, the Japanese army generally would not discard the bodies of their comrades unless the enemy's firepower was too fierce.

    On Xia Yang's side, more than ten people were killed and dozens were injured.  More than ten of them were seriously injured and needed to be transferred to the general hospital in the rear, while the rest were temporarily treated in a temporary field hospital.

    A considerable number of them will return to their positions after being simply bandaged, and then continue fighting.  Their personnel are not that sufficient, and it is definitely not just talk about not being able to get out of the line of fire with minor injuries.

    After their first contact with the Japanese army, the recruits grew up a lot.  Some soldiers even began to boast proudly in the trenches about how many little Japs they had just killed.

    However, there are also many soldiers with very solemn expressions on their faces, because in the battle just now, some of their comrades were injured or even killed directly.  This made them worried, and at the same time they felt great sadness for the misfortune of their comrades.

    It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and Xia Yang estimated that the Japanese army would launch the next attack before evening.  Their attack will continue until night. After nightfall, the Japanese army still has the possibility of sneak attack on them.

    Therefore, Xia Yang ordered his soldiers not to slack off, immediately prepare their positions, check weapons and ammunition, and be ready for the next battle at any time.

    Just as he thought, the Japanese army's second attack was launched again at four o'clock in the afternoon.

    And compared to the first attack, their attack this time was more targeted.

    They have prepared a lot of bombardiers at this time, and they want these well-trained bombardiers to throw grenades directly into the shooting holes on the bunker.

    In addition to these bombardiers, this time the Japanese army also prepared a lot of explosive tubes, which can be connected and then extended from the mountainside to the bunker firing holes on the side.

    After the first attack, Yamada Teijiro had realized that if they could not get rid of the bunker groups on both sides, they would not be able to break through the enemy's defense line no matter how large their numbers were.

    Before the infantry began to attack, there was a routine artillery bombardment by the Japanese army.  There were still three hours before dark. According to Yamada Tetsujiro's plan, even if this attack could not occupy the enemy's position, they would still find ways to clear out several shooting holes on the nearby rock wall.

    The bombardment lasted for half an hour, but it still had no impact on the bunkers on the rock walls.

    The Japanese infantry once again charged from halfway up the mountain. Under the cover of heavy machine gun and mountain artillery fire, their charge this time was more ferocious than the previous one.

    When the attack reached a place dozens of meters away from the bunker's firing hole, the Japanese grenadier began to throw the grenade in his hand toward the shooting hole over there.

    But the shooting holes are only so big in total, and they are dozens of meters away from them. It is really difficult to throw them in.

    Many grenades basically hit the rock wall and then exploded in mid-air.  A blackened mark was left on the rock wall.?.

    They threw hundreds of grenades over and over again, but only one grenade was successfully thrown into one of them.  But even so, with so many shooting holes, just solving one shooting hole is really a drop in the bucket.

    What's more, although the machine gunner in the shooting hole was killed by a grenade, someone immediately took his place and continued to operate the heavy machine gun to fire violently at the Japanese troops diagonally below.

    The most important thing is that the Japanese grenadiers suffered a horribly high casualty rate.  Because Xia Yang discovered the movements of the Japanese army, he ordered two heavy machine guns to shoot at the positions of the grenadiers. As soon as the little Japs showed up, they would immediately start shooting.

    But it was during this period that the little devil's blasting tube was almost connected.

    "Smoke bombs! Smoke bombs! Block the enemy's sight."

    The Japanese demolition man shouted, and then the Japanese soldiers next to him began to throw more than a dozen smoke bombs to block the sight of the machine gunner.

    After the smoke formed by the smoke bombs blocked the sight of the machine gunners in the bunkers, the Japanese blasters began to rush forward, reaching the position closest to the bunkers, and then began to move the blasting tubes toward the firing holes.

    They need to wait for the smoke to dissipate slightly before they can accurately find the location of the shooting hole.  However, before that, due to the influence of smoke, the machine gunner was unable to strafe the area where the demolitionist was located. Even strafing was an aimless attack.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
