    They simply built a position before, but since Lingqiu County was captured, they have been building positions every day.  Because Itagaki Seishiro knew that after Lingqiu County was captured, the enemy would definitely attack Gushan and completely cut off their retreat.

    Not far from Gushan, the camps of the Fourth Army were brightly lit.  The soldiers in the camp are all gearing up and preparing for tomorrow's attack.

    Xia Yang and his artillery regiment have also moved their artillery positions to the flanks of Yima Ridge.  On the new artillery position, their two artillery regiments were enough to bombard the Japanese army's position on Gushan.

    Itagaki Seishiro does not plan to retreat at this time, because in his opinion, only the 114th Division and the two divisions supported by Taiyuan are enough to help him relieve the siege.

    At that time, they can launch a counterattack and kill all the enemies who enter the Lingqiu County area.

    That would definitely be a big victory, and at this time, the Japanese army was suffering successive defeats, so it needed such a big victory to boost morale.

    Yoshio Shinozuka, who is far away in Datong, also has the same idea.  He even planned to dispatch two more brigades and even a reorganized division from the troops in southern Shanxi to support the battle in northwestern Shanxi.

    "Our artillery firepower can already directly support us. Moreover, the Japanese artillery positions have been locked by us. We should be able to remove them directly tonight." Hu San pointed at the map and said to Xia Yang.

    Xia Yang rushed to the camp in front of Gushan overnight, because the battle on Gushan was crucial and would affect subsequent combat deployments.  If they cannot defeat Gushan and complete the encirclement of the Japanese Fifth Division before the Japanese army breaks through the Wangzhuangbao position, then their initiative on the battlefield will be completely lost.

    "Tomorrow morning, I don't want to hear the roar of Japanese artillery again." Xia Yang said to Hu San.

    Hu San immediately saluted Xia Yang very solemnly and said: "Don't worry, military commander, I promise to complete the mission!!"

    Xia Yang continued: "How many troops are there in the surrounding guerrillas that we can mobilize now?"

    Hu San thought for a while and said: "With less than two thousand people, they are not large, but they have a lot of teams. If they want to attack Gushan, they may not be able to do it."

    Xia Yang shook his head and said: "It's not to let them attack Gushan, but to let them tire out the enemy."

    With that, he said to Hu San: "Go and call together the captains of these guerrillas and give each of their teams some weapons, equipment and ammunition. Let them attack the Japanese army from all directions every night.  Launch a feint attack from the position on Lone Mountain."

    "Wagon battle?" Hu Sandao said.

    Xia Yang said: "We attack during the day and let them attack at night. Don't let the Japanese troops on Gushan have any time to rest. I will attack the Japanese positions within five days."

    Xia Yang has already planned an attack on Gushan. Their attack will be divided into three waves.

    The first wave was an attack by the main force during the day, with the guerrillas conducting feint attacks at night. During the blank time, the artillery regiment conducted irregular shelling.

    This kind of attack wave will last about three days.

    Hu San just thought that Xia Yang's arrangement was to tire out the Japanese army to the greatest extent and thereby lose their ability to resist.  Little did he know that Xia Yang actually had a more sinister idea.

    The brigade commander dispatched by Chahar is Gao Shen, followed by Gao Shen.

    His troops have been stationed in the Chahar area for a long time and have basically not participated in any large-scale battles.  At this time, he was suddenly faced with an attack by nearly ten thousand people. The young Japanese brigade commander was also very nervous.

    But Gao Shenci also knew that this was the time when he needed to step forward.

    The task entrusted to him by Itagaki Seishiro was not too heavy.  Hold the Gushan position until reinforcements arrive.

    At this time, Gao Shen's second-ranked troops were not only well-equipped, but also had sufficient ammunition.  The soldiers were very active and energetic because they had not participated in the attack for some time.

    In addition, although the height of Gushan is not high, compared with the surrounding plain areas, the terrain is definitely dangerous.  After holding on here for more than a week, Gao Shen and others are confident enough.

    He has already completed the defensive deployment on Gushan.  Not only were a large number of trenches dug, a large amount of barbed wire was pulled up, and some minefields were set up.  A large amount of light and heavy machine gun firepower, as well as mortars, combat artillery, etc., are deployed in every corner of the position.

    The Japanese position on Gushan Mountain is said to beBeing armed to the teeth is not too much.

    The lonely mountain in the night is very quiet.  The soldiers from Chahar's dispatched brigade were also taking the time to rest.

    But Xia Yang obviously did not intend to let them rest well. The guerrillas, who had just replenished their weapons and ammunition, began to launch sporadic attacks on the Japanese positions on Gushan.

    Their attack was not too violent, but the few mortars Xia Yang supported them made a lot of noise.

    When these Japanese soldiers from the Chahar dispatch brigade heard the sound of gunfire from outside, they woke up from their sleep, picked up their rifles and got into the position.

    Just when these Japanese troops thought that the enemy would launch a fierce attack on their positions, nothing happened.  Under the light of the flares, they stared at the hillside in front of the position with their eyes wide open. After waiting for half an hour, they did not see anyone rushing up.

    This made the Japanese army think that they were being played by the enemy.

    But Gao Shenci was very cautious. He ordered all the soldiers not to enter the tents to sleep anymore, but to rest in the trenches.  In this way, once the enemy actually launches an attack, they can immediately join the battle.

    Those Japanese soldiers had no choice but to wrap themselves in blankets and sleep with their rifles in the trench.

    But less than ten minutes after the darkness returned to silence, the fierce sound of gunfire was heard again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
