    As for the Japanese mountain artillery, many of them were destroyed.  After a round of shelling, the remaining mountain artillery pieces of the Japanese army were severely damaged and lost their combat capabilities.

    Seeing that the Japanese artillery bombardment was over, the soldiers of the Fourth Army who were originally hidden in the civil fortifications climbed out of their positions and set up machine guns on the trenches.

    Those Japanese infantrymen saw the explosion coming from the rear and the stopped artillery fire from their own side, and they probably knew that their artillery position had been destroyed by the enemy.

    So these Japanese troops launched an attack directly. Under the leadership of the commander, they launched a fierce attack directly on several positions near Gushan.

    When these Japanese troops stormed these lonely mountain positions, other Japanese troops directly chose to retreat along the highway.

    Xia Yang was at the height of Gushan, watching the large Japanese troops retreating northward on the road below.  There was a sneer in my heart.

    The Japanese cavalry brigade at the forefront had not been running on the road for too long when bursts of explosions came from the road.

    The various types of landmines that Xia Yang and the others had planted there were detonated by the Japanese cavalry.

    ¡°Boom boom!!!¡±

    Accompanied by bursts of explosions, the more than ten cavalrymen of the Japanese brigade rushing forward were all dead and injured.

    They had to stop, and then reported the situation encountered at this time to Seishiro Itagaki in the rear, planning to send engineering troops to detect mines in the front.

    This is what Xia Yang wants to see. As long as the Japanese army detects mines, the Japanese army will have to slow down its retreat.  In this way, Xia Yang's pursuit troops in the rear could rush over and complete the encirclement of the Japanese army.

    But what Xia Yang didn¡¯t expect was that Itagaki Seishiro actually issued an order for the Japanese cavalry brigade to continue advancing.

    Itagaki Seishiro realized that if they were worried about people being killed or injured by landmines, they would waste a lot of time clearing mines.  In this case, the result is that the rear defense line covering the retreating troops is broken through by the enemy's main force.  And they are besieged at the foot of the lonely mountain, and they will only suffer more losses by then.

    The Japanese cavalry captain, after receiving the order from Itagaki Seishiro, looked at his cavalry with a solemn face and shouted: "Time is running out and we cannot let the engineers detect mines. We rush to the front to help the troops at the rear."  Find a passage."

    Shouting like this, he raised the saber in his hand high and rushed towards the road ahead with his soldiers.

    Xia Yang was also very surprised to see the Japanese cavalry brigade charging forward regardless of the mines planted on the road.

    "Order the machine guns lying in ambush on both sides of the road to fire immediately to block the Japanese army's retreat to the greatest extent. The ambush troops in the north also try their best to block the Japanese army's northward retreat." Xia Yang immediately ordered.

    ¡°Boom boom!!! Boom boom!!¡±

    A violent explosion came from the highway.  Mixed in were the neighing of war horses and the screams of injured cavalry.

    Behind the Japanese cavalry, tens of thousands of the main force of the Japanese fifth division retreated northward, stepping on the corpses of the horses that had been killed and injured.

    But at this moment, the light and heavy machine gun positions on the hillside on the side of the road began to fire violently at the Japanese troops below.

    The intertwined firepower network covered the road in the blink of an eye.  The Japanese troops rushing forward were blocked there in an instant, leaving behind large swathes of corpses.

    The situation ahead soon reached Itagaki Seishiro's ears.

    He was very determined to retreat and had no intention of getting entangled with Xia Yang.

    "Order the trucks to drive to both sides of the road to form temporary positions to suppress the enemies on both sides with firepower. The other troops pass through the passage in the middle of the trucks and try their best to retreat north. Don't be reluctant to fight!!" Itagaki Seishiro  ordered.

    Japanese trucks, a large number of motorcycles, and even many carriages carrying baggage arrived at the front.  As a temporary position for the Japanese army on the highway.

    A large number of Japanese soldiers, relying on trucks, horse-drawn carriages, and motorcycles, fiercely fought back against the soldiers of the garrison on both sides of the road.

    The Japanese mortars, grenades, and some small-caliber mountain artillery began to violently bombard the positions on both sides.  This is used to suppress enemy firepower on both sides of the position.

    Itagaki Seishiro's tactic soon came into effect.  Although the heavy machine gun firepower on both sides of the positions was fierce, because of the JapaneseWith the cover of the vehicles, the Japanese troops of the Fifth Division passed the ambush zone with relatively small losses.

    But the corresponding price is that their trucks and baggage were abandoned in the Gushan area.

    Xia Yang looked at the Japanese troops desperately fleeing north, and couldn't help but marveled: "Itagaki Seishiro, this old devil, is really decisive. He chose to retreat, and he retreated regardless of everything. He didn't want to fight at all."

    Xiao Yuebing, who was standing next to him, said, "Military seat, what should we do?"

    ??

    "Order the cavalry troops to immediately pursue the retreating Japanese troops, bite their butts, and bite off a piece of meat if you can!" Xia Yang immediately ordered.

    At this time, at Yima Ridge in the rear, the two Japanese brigades had blocked the main force of the Fourth Army for more than three hours.

    To say that this Japanese army is really tenacious, their entire blocking position has been bombarded to pieces by the artillery artillery and rocket nest systems.  However, they still relied on bomb craters and a large number of foxholes to resist tenaciously.

    Because of the narrow attack area, Ma Siyuan's Second Division, Independent Regiment and New Regiment organized three attacks in succession, but the number of troops they could invest in the front was limited.

    Although these two Japanese brigades suffered heavy losses, they still held on to their positions.

    But their destruction is only a matter of time, because the fourth round of attack has begun again.

    Under the airtight artillery fire, these two Japanese brigades have lost more than half.  In the fourth round of attack, they could no longer resist.

    Looking at the troops of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army pressing over the mountains and plains, those Japanese troops who stood firm on their positions finally felt a sense of despair.

    The battle at Gushan lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.

    The two Japanese brigades in the rear responsible for covering the retreat of the main force were all annihilated.  As for the Japanese troops responsible for containing the Gushan position, only one integrated regiment of more than 2,000 people was completely annihilated.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
