    "Da da da"

    The exploratory attack of the Japanese army was quickly repelled. The defenders did not even use one-third of their firepower to defeat the Japanese team. In less than five minutes, the Japanese team was defeated.  The number of troops was reduced by two-thirds, with less than twenty people withdrawing.

    Then Captain Yamada once again sent an infantry squadron to participate in the attack. At the same time, the Japanese artillery that had not been used began to show off its power. More than a dozen large-caliber mountain cannons continued to bombard the defenders' positions. The shells fell from mid-air like hailstones.  Fall down, and then blow up the defending soldiers one by one.

    However, what makes the little devils angry is that no matter how they fight, the defenders rely on a few firepower points to block all the entrances to the mountain. No matter how they charge or shell, the defenders remain unmoved.

    In the second round of the attack, the Japanese army only lasted for fifteen minutes and could no longer sustain it. They had to retreat. After the little devils withdrew from the position, more than a hundred Japanese corpses had been abandoned in front of the position. Counting the withdrawal,  Among the wounded who came down, the Japs suffered more than 150 casualties in less than twenty minutes after the battle began.

    In the next two hours, Yamada Yokogi organized 6 group attacks, but without exception, they were all repelled by the 7th Division.

    The thick stone bunker has no other place to attack the soldiers in the bunker except the machine gun shooting holes. The thick bluestone is a natural bunker, so it is not afraid of the Japanese artillery fire at all, unless the enemy brings it to the field.  Heavy artillery, otherwise the Type 92 infantry cannon and the 75mm caliber mountain cannon alone will have no effect at all.

    However, the little devils also knew that the top to bottom part of Xigu Mountain was the only one with more dangerous terrain, which meant that as long as they took the entrance, they could take over this mountain. Therefore, even if the casualties were high, the Japanese army never gave up.  the meaning of.

    After six consecutive attacks, even an experienced commander like Yamada Yamada couldn't help but feel a headache. Those bunkers were just that. The most frightening thing was that the terrain here had a great impact on the attacking troops. Each time they could only place at most  Use a squadron of troops, otherwise even if there are those bunkers, as long as you are willing to use human lives to fill them, you can always conquer them.

    But even if the Japanese army tried their best, it was useless. Yamada Yokogi sent a squadron of soldiers to attack each time, but in fact they were far from capable of conquering the bunker. He could only watch the troops being killed and injured by the Chinese army.  , became a testimony to the achievements of the Seventh Division.

    In just one morning, the Yamada Regiment suffered more than 800 casualties, accounting for almost one-third of the total strength of the Shangcun Regiment.

    Around 2 p.m., after more than an hour of rest, a new round of Japanese attacks began.

    This time the Japanese army had a new way of fighting. Soldiers from two squadrons rushed towards the bunker group without fear of death. Behind these soldiers were followed by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers holding giant explosive packs. They braved the temporary 7th Division bunker  The group fired wildly, and then rushed towards the bunker group. It seemed that they wanted to blow up the bunker group with explosive bags.

    However, their idea was too naive. Under the machine guns of the 7th Division that spewed steel bullets, the Japanese fell in pieces, and the Japanese army lost several commandos in a short time.

    But the little Japs were not afraid of death at all. When a Japs fell down, the Japs soldiers behind them quickly made up for them. Then they used the corpses of their dead companions as bunkers and continued to advance towards the group of bunkers where the defenders were stationed.

    Looking at these crazy Japanese soldiers, Zhang Tengjiao, Wang Zhanhai and others who were in charge of the battle in the direction of Xigushan were very impressed. Even from a hostile perspective, they had to say that these Japanese soldiers were indeed fearless of death, which showed that they were not afraid of death.  The heroism of soldiers.

    In this regard, the national army is indeed inferior to the little devils, and this is a shame.

    Zhang Tengjiao, who was climbing halfway up the mountain to watch the battle, put down his binoculars and said to Wang Debiao, the deputy brigade commander next to him: "The little devil is really made of damn iron, and he is not afraid of death!"

    "Who says it's not the case? They actually use the corpses of the dead as a cover. What a damn beast!" Wang Debiao said in a deep voice.

    Zhang Tengjiao looked at Wang Debiao and said: "This is nothing on the battlefield. War is cruel and inhumane. We are brothers when we are alive, but it doesn't matter if we die. If one day I die in battle, and it happens that  My body can help the brothers block the bullet holes, so you¡¯re welcome, just use it!¡±

    Wen Debiao was stunned and looked at Zhang Tengjiao with a speechless expression.

    "Brother, you were born in the regular army of the National Army and are a direct descendant of our Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. You don't know what suffering is. If you really get to that point, you don't care about the body or not. As long as you can win, you can use any means.  Use it!" Zhang Tengjiao said.

    ? ??Lao Zhang, what should we do now? If the little devil gets close to the bunkers, the consequences will be disastrous!  "Wen Debiao did not dwell on this issue, but changed the subject.

    "It doesn't matter, don't we still have artillery? We can let them fire!"

    Wen Debiao nodded, turned around and said to the guard who was following him: "Inform the artillery company that they can fire, and ask them to move their positions immediately after the attack. Never give the little Japanese artillery a chance to counterattack."

    "yes!"

    Following Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s order, the artillerymen lurking on the mountainside quickly removed the camouflage net, then adjusted their shooting at Zhu Yuan, and then shelled the Japanese troops down the mountain.

    "Bang bang bang"

    After several dull sounds in succession, several mortar shells fell on the narrow front line of the battlefield, blasting the little Japs into panic.

    After the artillery test firing, the Chinese artillery began to fire rapidly. A large number of artillery shells fell from the sky and exploded on the Japanese position.

    With the artillery counterattack, the Japanese death squads on the frontline suffered heavy casualties. When the artillery fire stopped, dozens of Japanese death squads suffered all casualties, and no one survived.

    There is no way, who makes these guys not afraid of death? They carry so many explosive bags on their bodies, and setting off one at will is enough to smash these guys to pieces.

    Seeing that the attack failed again, Yamada Yokogi was really a little desperate. This mountain was a hard nut to crack.

    ?? If the fight continued like this, it would be impossible to capture this mountain even if his entire regiment was wiped out. In desperation, Colonel Yamada had no choice but to send combat guidance to Shigenori Numata behind him, asking for instructions.

    In fact, Numata Shigetori watched every attack of the Yamada United team.

    From a tactical point of view, the Yamada Alliance's performance in this battle was quite satisfactory. The reason why it was fought like this was mainly because the enemy was too cunning. They chose the battlefield in such an unfavorable place and forcibly fought an encirclement and annihilation battle.  It is a war of attrition, and it is also a war of attrition under the very unfavorable refueling tactics.

    "Gentlemen, everyone has seen Yamada's telegram, what should we do now?" Numata Shigenori stared at the several assistant officers in the headquarters and asked in a deep voice.

    At this time, the captain of the 116th Regiment, Colonel Haraguchi, immediately said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, I believe that if we continue to attack by force, the consequences will be very bad. Even if the imperial army can capture the mountain in front of us, the casualties will exceed  Imagine, so I suggest you change the direction of attack."

    "Change the direction?"

    "Well, the support/that person has obviously made defense preparations here. We will die if we go up there. Anyway, this mountain is not small. There is no way it is just a place where you can climb. Just look in other directions.  Maybe there is still a place suitable for attack." Haraguchi said three times.

    "Yo Xi, then send a search team to look in other directions!"

    "Hai!"

    Half an hour later, a combat staff officer rushed into the headquarters and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, the search team found a gap on the right side of the mountain. Although it is a full five or six meters away from the ground, it can be accessed through ladders and other tools.  Climbing up can be used as a new attack point!"

    Numata Shigetori was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Hey, Haraguchi-kun is indeed a top student at the Imperial Army University. If we can take this mountain and capture Li Guoyao alive in this battle, you should be the first to take credit!"

    Colonel Haraguchi was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, Brigade Commander, for your cultivation. I will be grateful for my humble position for the rest of my life!"

    "Haraguchi-kun, send a brigade from your 116th Regiment to rush out the gap. Success or failure depends on this!" Numata Shigenori said loudly.

    "Hai, I am humble enough to go to the front to supervise the battle in person and ensure that the gap is captured!" Haraguchi Iz¨­zo said hurriedly.

    "Yo Xi, please!"
