    "The Eighth Route Army's firepower is still not enough, and the little devils are attacking. Chief of Staff Tan, you go and order the artillery battalion in the rear to fire a base number of shells for them, specifically to bombard the buttocks of the Japanese charging troops." Chen Shiliang said.

    Hearing this, Tan Zijun immediately said: "Yes!! Master!!" Then he immediately used the walkie-talkie to convey Chen Shiliang's order.

    The two artillery battalions in the rear immediately began to adjust their muzzles after receiving the order.  Aimed at the rear of the charging Japanese troops.

    ¡°Boom boom!!!¡±

    A violent explosion suddenly came from the rear of the Japanese army.  The troops behind them suffered heavy artillery bombardment.

    This surprised the captain of the Japanese army who was commanding the troops at the front. What he did not expect was that the enemy on the opposite side also had such fierce artillery fire.

    With the explosion of artillery shells, the Japanese troops in the rear looked for places to hide, and did not dare to climb out easily.

    At this time, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were fighting hard with the Japanese army were very surprised when they saw the intensive explosions coming from behind the Japanese army.

    Because they have always been the one being bombarded.  At this time, they actually had artillery fire support, which naturally made them overjoyed.

    "Brothers, the artillery support from the friendly forces is strong enough. We can't let the friendly forces underestimate us and beat us to death!!" Lin Daqiang shouted loudly, and fired continuously with his pistol at the Japanese troops charging below.

    The morale of the Eighth Route Army soldiers above the position was greatly boosted, and they began to shoot fiercely at the Japanese troops below.

    Those Japanese soldiers who finally rushed to the top of the hillside suddenly encountered a fierce blockage and could only temporarily stop the attack.  Waiting for the rear troops to arrive, but behind them, the prepared troops were blocked by artillery fire and unable to provide support to them at all.

    And these Japanese troops on the mountainside could only endure the firepower of the Eighth Route Army overhead.

    "Is this the Eighth Route Army? When did their firepower become so powerful?" The captain who was directing the Japanese attack from the front thought very depressedly.

    Although they paused their advance, the Eighth Route Army firepower above them never stopped for a moment.

    A large number of bullets began to pour into their charging team.  Japanese soldiers continued to be killed and wounded by fire from above, turning into corpses rolling down the hillside.

    But the troops in the rear could not arrive for a long time.

    The Japanese captain knew that if the situation continued like this, they might all be beaten to death on this hillside.  Then he immediately shouted loudly: "Come forward together!!"

    They were desperate and charged upwards at all costs.

    But the firepower above was extremely fierce.  The firepower network formed by various light and heavy machine guns and rifles covered the Japanese army in the blink of an eye.

    At this time, there were only more than two hundred Japanese troops left on the hillside, and their impact capabilities were seriously insufficient.  Not long after he stood up, he was suppressed by fire again.

    At this time, Kusaba Tatsumi looked at the charging troops cut off by artillery fire, and knew that continuing to attack forcefully would only increase the casualties of the troops.  So he immediately issued an order to retreat.

    The Japanese troops who were suppressed by firepower on the hillside in front immediately chose to retreat after receiving the order from Kusaba Tatsumi.

    The Eighth Route Army soldiers on the position fired at the Japanese soldiers again, but after they escaped a few hundred meters, they put down their guns.

    This defeat of the Japanese attack boosted the morale of the Eighth Route Army soldiers in both regiments.

    They stood above the position and cheered loudly.  Some Eighth Route Army soldiers began to walk towards the corpses left by the Japanese soldiers below.

    They want to pick up all those weapons and equipment. For the Eighth Route Army, the guns in their hands are basically seized from the Japanese army.

    On other positions, the Japanese attack lasted for more than three hours.  It was not until near noon that this round of Japanese attacks was declared over.

    Throughout the morning, the Japanese army did not make any progress on the front, but only lost the lives of hundreds of soldiers in vain.

    Kusaba Tatsuki also knew that the enemy had already established a foothold in this area. If they wanted to break through the Wangzhuangbao Town in front of them, they would need more troops and more ferocious firepower.

    After this round of attacks by the 114th Division ended, the entire Japanese army stopped attacking them.  Instead, he sentA large number of scouts began to conduct large-scale reconnaissance on the surrounding mountains.

    On the one hand, they hope to find a path to go around.  On the other hand, it is to control more information about the enemy on the opposite side, and at the same time, wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

    At this time, two Japanese independent mixed brigades far away in Taiyuan had completed their assembly and began to march towards Wangzhuangbao Town.

    These two Japanese mixed brigades totaled more than 10,000 people. Adding the strength of the 114th Division, the total number was nearly 50,000.

    When the Japanese army was dispatching troops and generals, the guard battalion, garrison regiment, and cavalry regiment had already arrived at the foot of Gushan before the Japanese Chahar sent a brigade to garrison at the Gushan position.

    The lonely mountain in front of them is where they want to attack.

    By knocking down Gushan, they can block the retreat of the Japanese Fifth Division and surround them in the Yimaling area.

    Xia Yang has a huge appetite. He wants to eat the entire fifth division.

    Itagaki Seishiro naturally saw Xia Yang¡¯s intention.  He immediately ordered Chahar to dispatch a brigade to hold the position no matter what.  At the same time, he mobilized a brigade of about 1,000 troops to support the Japanese defenders on Gushan.

    The Chahar dispatch brigade is not full, with only about 4,000 people in total.  At this time, with the addition of a supporting brigade, the Japanese army's strength on Gushan had reached 5,000.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
