    "Old Li, the latest information from our reconnaissance team is that the Japanese Fifth Division is less than four hours away from here." Chen Shiliang pointed to the location of the Japanese army on the map and said to Li Yunlong.

    Li Yunlong yawned and asked, "No, don't fool me, Old Li. How could the main force of the Japs advance so fast?"

    Chen Shiliang said: "They they threw away all their baggage and only carried some dry food and ammunition. It was basically a light march, so the speed was much faster than we expected."

    ¡°We don¡¯t need any equipment or baggage, we just want to survive! This is the first time we, Old Li, have seen this little devil in such a mess, and he is from the fifth division known as the ¡®Steel Army¡¯.¡± Li Yunlong said.

    Then he raised his head and asked Chen Shiliang: "What does Commander Xia mean?"

    Chen Shiliang said: "Let us seize the time to attack Sanchongling. If we really can't attack it, we can harass the retreating Japanese troops on the flanks and avoid being flanked by the Fifth Division."

    After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately said: "Organize the troops immediately and storm Sanchongling. Take out all our guys and don't give the Japanese army a chance to breathe!!"

    His order was quickly issued, and the Independent Regiment and Chen Shiliang's Fourth Division immediately organized an offensive force of more than 2,000 people and began a full-scale attack on Sanchong Ridge.

    Nagano Yuichi stood on the Triple Ridge position. The previous position here had been completely destroyed when they blocked them.  At this time, the positions where the Japanese troops were stationed were rebuilt on the basis of the previous positions.

    The Japanese army used stones and concrete to build many machine gun bunkers.  Outside the bunker, there are a large number of barbed wire fences and infantry trenches.

    These Japanese soldiers, under the command of Nagano Yuichi, focused on the construction of the position after capturing Sanchong Ridge.

    He used gasoline barrels and previous bulletproof panels to build strong machine gun positions and trenches.

    Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang used binoculars to observe the Japanese position.  We know that the enemy's defensive forces here are not weak.

    "Order the mortar and rocket nest troops to take the lead in bombarding the Japanese positions. Then the troops on both wings will launch an attack." Chen Shiliang said.

    With his order, the mortar troops and several sets of rocket nests they carried began to violently bombard the Japanese army.

    They carry a lot of mortars, but the number of rocket nest systems is limited.  In addition, the artillery regiment troops were still in the rear at this time and could not provide fire support to them.

    Therefore, their bombardment power is incomparable to the bombardment when the Fourth Army attacked the Japanese 43rd Regiment a few days ago.

    And even with the kind of fire bombardment that attacked the Japanese 43rd Regiment, it took more than two hours to capture the Japanese position.

    Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang both knew that it was difficult to capture Sanchong Ridge, but they had to give it a try.

    ¡°Then if this position is defeated and blocks the fifth division¡¯s retreat route, wouldn¡¯t it be a bloody gain?

    With this idea in mind, after more than ten minutes of bombardment by mortars and rocket nests, their infantry began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions from both wings.

    Nagano Yuichi knew that this was a hard battle and went to the front line personally to direct the battle.  At the same time, the defense forces from the two mountains behind were also mobilized, with the purpose of holding on to this first line of defense.

    The densely packed charging troops began to charge towards the Japanese army from halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye.

    Soldiers from the Independent Regiment and the Fourth Division fought side by side and launched charges against the Japanese from both wings.

    The soldiers of the 11th Regiment, unlike the 43rd Regiment that fought continuously, had been recuperating here for more than a month and basically did not participate in too fierce battles.

    It is precisely because of this that most of the Japanese soldiers stationed here are lively and energetic. When they go into battle, each one is more excited than the other.

    The intensive sound of gunfire echoed above Sanchong Ridge again after a month.

    It is this time that the positions of the two sides have been exchanged. The troops that were originally attacking have now switched to defense, and the troops that were originally defending have begun to attack.

    The obstacles Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang encountered here were definitely no less than the obstacles the Japanese army encountered when they attacked Sanchongling.

    When their soldiers were halfway up the mountain, they encountered crazy firepower from the top of the mountain.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The interweaving firepower composed of heavy and light machine guns and artillery made it difficult for the soldiers under Chen Shiliang and Li Yunlong.

    The position of the Japanese 11th Regiment is not as simple as that of the 43rd Regiment, but is very solid.  Even if an artillery regiment is mobilized for bombardment, it will be difficult to cause huge damage to their positions.

    After an hour of charging, Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang had already concluded that it was almost impossible to attack the Japanese position on Sanchong Ridge in a short time.

    At this time, they could only choose the second option Xia Yang left for them, setting up ambush positions on both wings to delay the retreat of the main force of the Japanese Fifth Division to the greatest extent.

    After deciding on the policy of the battle, they immediately dispersed their troops, from the regiment level to the battalion level.  Each battalion entered the mountains and forests and began to think of ways to harass the retreating Japanese Fifth Division.

    Their purpose was not to annihilate the Japanese Fifth Division, but to consume them to the greatest extent and at the same time delay their retreat.

    Originally, Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang were worried that if all the troops were divided into battalion-level combat units, the number of soldiers would be too small.

    ¡°As a result, it was not until more than two hours later, when they saw the Japanese troops fleeing in panic, that they realized that their worries were completely unnecessary.

    Because the Japanese army at this time was just retreating and did not carry any heavy weapons, so the threat to them was really limited.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
