    Li Kunfeng was lying on a mountain peak, looking at the reinforcements of the two Japanese regiments advancing towards the blocking position on the mountain road below, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

    "The Japanese army still has one kilometer to arrive, be ready for battle." He took out his walkie-talkie and reported to the troops in the rear.

    Bai Mingxuan was responsible for this blocking battle. They set up blocking positions on the peaks on both sides.  If the Japanese army wants to support Cangyun Peak, they need to break through their defense line.

    Bai Mingxuan's 189th Regiment plus Bai Zhipeng's battalion had a blocking force of 2,500 people.  Moreover, they have sufficient ammunition and artillery units in the rear to provide them with sufficient fire support.

    Therefore, Bai Mingxuan was very confident in blocking the Japanese attack.

    Ishikawa looked at the peaks on both sides of the mountain road ahead, feeling a little uneasy.

    He was troubled by being attacked and ambushed by small groups of enemy troops for several days in a row.

    "Order the forward troops to dispatch two squadrons of troops to search and advance from the ridges of the peaks on both sides. Once the enemy's whereabouts are discovered, report them immediately." Major General Ishikawa said to the staff officer next to him.

    His order was passed on, and soon two Japanese squadrons climbed up the peaks on both sides.

    The soldiers of the 189th Regiment were covered in camouflage clothing made of branches and green leaves. They were lying in the dense jungle and bushes, making it difficult to be spotted.

    The two squadrons of the Japanese army dispersed to the mountains on both sides, trying to climb the ridge, and then search along the ridge.  Clear the way for the main force in the rear.

    But this idea is a bit fanciful, because Bai Mingxuan never thought about letting the Japanese army climb the ridges on these two wings.

    The soldiers who were ambushing on the hillside were holding their breath as they watched the Japanese squadron climbing up from the bottom of the mountain.

    There are also some soldiers who simply tied themselves to some towering trees.

    These giant trees have grown for hundreds of thousands of years and are so big that two or three people cannot hug them.  Many soldiers were hidden in the canopies of these giant trees, looking down at the mountain road below.

    The searching Japanese troops formed a line of skirmishers several hundred meters long, slowly advancing towards the mountain peak.

    Li Kunfeng, who was in charge of commanding the forward position, looked at the distance of the Japanese army and took the lead in using the Mosingana rifle in his hand to aim at the head of the Japanese squad leader who was walking at the front.

    "boom!!"

    As soon as a gunshot was heard, the birds living in the woods immediately flew away.

    Almost at the same moment, other soldiers who were ambushing in the mountains and forests also opened fire, shooting violently at the Japanese troops below.

    The Japanese squadron at the foot of the mountain was immediately suppressed by the fierce firepower and was unable to raise its head.  Their squadron leader picked up the telescope and found that the entire mountain peak was full of firepower points. For them, there was no difference between charging and dying.

    After a simple attack attempt, they dropped more than a dozen corpses and withdrew again.

    The gunshots in the jungle confirmed Major General Ishikawa's guess.

    And judging from the intensity of the gunfire, the enemies ambushing the mountains on both sides of the front this time are definitely not the small troops that harassed them before, but more than one regiment.

    "Order the troops to immediately launch an attack from both wings. The field artillery releases smoke bombs to cover the advance of the infantry." Ishikawa immediately ordered.

    He didn¡¯t want to waste too much time anymore. At this time, their location was less than three kilometers away from Cangyun Peak.  Only by assisting the Ninth Division in occupying Cangyun Peak can their transportation line be opened up again.

    If the delay continues like this, the Ninth Division may not be able to survive for a few days.

    However, Ishikawa underestimated the firepower of the 189th Regiment. Their four squadrons had nearly a thousand troops. After the first round of offensive attempts, they realized that without the assistance of heavy artillery, they would not be able to destroy the enemy's attack on the top of the mountain.  Heavy machine gun and mortar positions.

    Those heavy machine gun and mortar positions are enough to block their progress.

    Especially those soldiers of the 189th Regiment who tied themselves to trees to fight, which frightened the Japanese army even more.

    Behind the dense canopy, someone could shoot you at any time.  They will even wait quietly for your men to rush under their tree, and then throw grenades from above to your feet.

    But those soldiers who tied themselves to trees and fought tended to have the highest casualty rate.

    Because once the Japanese army determined that a certain tree was onIf there are people, they will hit the fire and shoot.  The fierce firepower of the heavy machine gun sometimes even breaks many branches directly.

    When Bai Mingxuan inspected the position in the evening, he saw many soldiers putting down those soldiers who had been tied to trees and fought until they died.

    There are often dozens of bullet holes in the bodies of those soldiers, all left by the Japanese army.  Many times they were unable to determine whether the 189th Regiment soldiers on that tree had been eliminated, so they would shoot continuously at a tree.

    Most of these soldiers died in miserable conditions, and even Bai Mingxuan, a veteran who was used to seeing bloodshed, couldn't bear to look at it.

    The Japanese army was doing their best to attack, and the soldiers of the 189th Regiment and Bai Zhipeng Battalion were doing their best to defend.

    The two sides fought fiercely on both sides of this mountainous area less than two kilometers long for a whole day, and they did not even stop until midnight.

    The Japanese army attacked fiercely, but apart from leaving more corpses under the hillside, they were unable to break through the 189th Regiment's defense line.

    Yoshika Ryosuke and the others were bombarded by napalm bombs again, which he was somewhat used to.

    He felt that the bombardment by the enemy's artillery regiment was not a big deal. The biggest thing was that the two regiments supporting him were blocked by enemy troops.

    And what¡¯s blocking them this time is not landmines and guerrilla attacks, which seemed a bit shoddy tactics to Yoshika Ryosuke, but serious combat troops.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
