    As soon as his order was given, more than ten incendiary bombs were thrown into the small hole next to the machine gun hole.

    These simply made incendiary bombs are not filled with liquids such as gasoline or alcohol, but napalm that Xia Yang and the others synthesized themselves.

    The Japanese demolition troops still below were originally supposed to carry the bodies of their comrades who fell from above, and to rescue those who were injured.  But at this moment, bottles of incendiary bombs were thrown down.

    These glass bottles filled with napalm were smashed directly after landing.  The moment it shattered, burning napalm splashed everywhere, landing on the bodies and clothes of the Japanese soldiers.

    "Stay away from the rock wall!! Stay away from the rock wall!!" the Japanese commander shouted.  Who knows what will be thrown down from above to kill them.

    Just as he finished speaking, another bunch of unknown objects were thrown down from above.

    This time it is an explosive package that has undergone a delayed explosion. Its explosion is more powerful and its damage range is larger.

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    With a loud noise, some Japanese soldiers who had not had time to evacuate were blown up by explosive packs and their bones were gone in a blink of an eye.

    In just a few minutes, more than half of the Japanese army's demolition troops were lost.  Dozens of people were blown to pieces, and some were even killed.

    The failure of the demolition force basically meant that the attack of this force also failed.  The Japanese troops halfway up the mountain felt too uncomfortable being suppressed and had no choice but to retreat.

    This time the Japanese attack failed again, leaving hundreds of corpses on the hillside.

    Itagaki Seishiro's face was already very ugly. He had known that Xia Yang was good at attacking and defending, but he didn't expect that this person would build the bunker so solidly, and the layout of the fire network was also very troublesome.

    Itagaki Seishiro thought about it and decided that only night attacks and poison gas bombs could play some role.  But during the day, they could only try to use heavy artillery to bombard the enemy's position to see if they could create a gap.

    As for the aviation units, they also began to take off from the airport at this time.  They would bombard the enemy on the reverse slope while bombarding them with artillery shells.

    The reason why he dared to come out for bombing was because Itagaki Seishiro believed that the enemy's anti-aircraft weapons would not be able to play any role in such a dense artillery bombardment.

    This time, the Japanese bomber formation was indeed not shot down under the cover of artillery fire.

    They were not carrying high-explosive bombs, but incendiary bombs.  It was mainly used to burn the positions stationed by the Fourth Yi Division and the surrounding vegetation.  At the same time, they also want to use this method to suffocate the enemies in the bunker. The thick smoke produced by the incendiary bombs can also cause suffocation to a certain extent.

    During several hours of repeated bombing by artillery and bombers, the hillside outside the bunker group was flattened by almost half a meter.  The color of the soil and stones above also turned into burnt black.

    In the soil on the outside position, as long as you grab a handful of soil, you can see the shrapnel left by several artillery shells inside.

    The Japanese shelling continued into the afternoon. Some soldiers were unable to even eat due to the violent shock waves of the shells.

    While the artillery of the Japanese Fifth Division was bombarding the Sanchuling position frantically, the Japanese attack in other directions had also begun.

    In the direction where the 122nd and 124th brigades are stationed, they are located at Scorpion Ridge and Tianmen Valley.  The Japanese Eighth Division, under the leadership of its division commander Honda Masakai, focused its main attack direction on Scorpion Ridge. Due to the complex terrain of Tianmen Valley, the Japanese army only dispatched one regiment of troops to conduct a tentative attack.

    This Japanese coalition took the lead in conducting a tentative attack in Tianmen Valley. After testing, they believed that this place was indeed not suitable for attack.

    Scorpion Ridge is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, but compared to the disgusting terrain of Tianmen Valley, the terrain here is still acceptable.

    The main force stationed at Scorpion Ridge is also the main force. Li Cheng's 124th Brigade and a regiment of the 122nd Brigade, plus an air defense battalion that Hao Shiwen shamelessly asked for from Xia Yang, are all stationed here.

    The Eighth Division did not move as quickly as the Fifth Division, mainly because the terrain here was more complex than Sanchong Ridge.  Moreover, there are only a few small roads on the mountain road, and they are also overgrown with weeds and thorns.  They had to use two brigades of troops specifically to open roads and clear away weeds.

      But even so, their vehicles are still unable to enter here, and all supplies and artillery can only be transported by mules and horses.

    Facing the Chinese army, Honda's political figures have a kind of arrogance in their bones.

    In fact, not only facing the Chinese army, but also other units of the Japanese army, the elites of the Kwantung Army also carried a kind of aloof arrogance.  After all, the Japanese Kwantung Army is known as the "Flower of the Japanese Imperial Army" and is the elite among the elite. It has sophisticated weapons and equipment, and the quality of its soldiers is very high.

    He is just a commander, not like the Japanese commanders on the North China and South China battlefields, who have very rich command and combat experience.

    Akira Watanabe, chief of staff of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army, frowned as he looked at the topographic map of Scorpion Ridge that the reconnaissance troops simply drew after yesterday's survey.

    "Division Commander, the terrain of Scorpion Ridge is very complicated, with overlapping mountains everywhere. And the reconnaissance force has confirmed that every small mountain here has enemy defenders. In other words, every time we take a step forward,  , you need to conquer a large number of enemy positions." Watanabe Akira said.

    Honda political material said with some disapproval: "What do you think, Mr. Watanabe, how should we attack?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
