    After Captain Sato withdrew, he learned that the order to stop the attack was not given by Captain Yamada, but by the division commander Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro himself.

    Since the Yamada Regiment is not very far from the division headquarters, when they were busy attacking, the division headquarters had already followed them.

    After joining the Yamada unit, Kimura Hyoutarou took over the command of the unit!

    When Sato's troops attacked, Kimura Hy身taro watched it. When he learned that the person in charge of the attack on the front line was only a captain's adjutant, Kimura Hy身taro was also surprised.

    Although Sato＊s troops suffered heavy casualties, in terms of tactical command, they were very good and remarkable!

    ※I can honestly say that among the dozen or so captains in the 32nd Division, not many have such courage and level.

    The reason why they have been unable to capture the defending positions is that on the one hand, the first brigade has limited troops, and secondly, the firepower level is not strong enough.

    Of course, their opponents were far more difficult than imagined, so Sato's fierce offensive was neutralized by the defenders!

    Maybe Captain Sato himself didn＊t know all this, but Kimura Hyoutarou and the other generals of the 32nd Division who were watching the battle could see it clearly!

    And the results of the first brigade are not small. After more than half an hour, the firepower on the opposite position has obviously weakened.

    Coupled with the continuous shelling by the artillery unit, most of the machine gun positions on the opposite side were destroyed, and it was obvious that the damage was serious.

    Seeing that Sato＊s troops were no longer able to fight anymore, and it was almost noon, Kimura Hyoutarou issued an order to stop the attack and wait until the afternoon to continue fighting.

    After the troops withdrew, Hy身taro Kimura immediately ordered someone to call Captain Sato over!

    Looking at the young soldier in front of him, Kimura Hy身taro nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Sato, now in the name of division commander, I promote you to the rank of Army Major, and appoint you as the first captain of the Yamada Regiment. In addition, I will  I will give you two complete infantry squadrons and replace all the lost weapons and equipment, and then let Zhang Sang＊s Imperial Alliance Army mobilize a regiment of troops to coordinate your attack. I hope you can seize this opportunity!"

    "Hai, thank you very much for the cultivation of the division commander. I will definitely win the position on the opposite side, even if I have to pay for it with my life!" Captain Sato said firmly.

    "Yo Xi, these are the real soldiers of the Japanese Empire!"

    "Thank you very much for the compliment, Division Commander. I will go and organize the troops now!"

    "There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's almost noon. You should take your troops to eat and rest first, and then fight again in the afternoon!" Kimura Hy身taro said.

    "Hai!"

    It is said that after the Japanese army retreated, Gao Hu immediately ordered people to count the casualties and treat the wounded.

    Statistics were soon compiled. In one morning, they lost more than 400 people, including 275 killed and 188 wounded, accounting for about one-third of the total strength.

    Although compared with the results achieved, this casualty is still acceptable. You must know that the little devils abandoned more than 500 corpses in the forward positions alone, and this does not include the wounded who retreated and the puppet soldiers who died in the battle.  , if all were added up, there would be at least 1,300 casualties.

    ? Nearly three to one casualties, such a record can be justified anywhere!

    But Gao Hu knew that the headquarters' strength was limited. Even though the army had expanded a lot of new recruits this time, the strength was still far less than that of the invading Japanese army. If they could not kill a large number of the Japanese troops, the subsequent battle would be even more difficult.  beat.

    Order the soldiers to send the wounded to the field hospital behind, while the others continue to defend their positions, waiting for the commander's orders!

    ※Maybe it was because the sun was too dazzling, so the little Japanese did not move throughout noon. It was not until after two o＊clock in the afternoon that the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain made any movement.

    In the Japanese Army Command Headquarters!

    Looking at Captain Sato who had recovered a lot of energy, Kimura Hy身taro said in a deep voice: "Sato, the defenders in front of you are the main force of Li Guoyao's troops. They are a hard nut to crack. They are both challenges and opportunities for you. As long as they are defeated  On the other side, I will personally ask for credit from the Corps Headquarters and the Front Army Headquarters, and I hope your troops will not disappoint me!"

    "Hai, please rest assured, division commander, if you can't take that person's position, you don't need to be punished by the division commander, because your life will definitely be left on the position!"

    "Yo Xi! I will let the field artillery unit provide fire support for your troops for half an hour, and I will also let the second largest army??Attack the flanking position of that unit and get ready!  "Hyoutaro Kimura said.

    "Hai!"

    When the Japanese troops gathered here, Gao Hu and others knew that the Japs' attack was about to begin again!

    This time Gao Hu did not order the troops to enter the trenches immediately. The lessons learned in the morning were still fresh in his mind. Anyway, they would not be able to rush up in a short time. Therefore, he only left more than 20 observation posts on the position, and even all the light and heavy  The machine guns were also withdrawn.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The Japanese artillery bombardment began, but this time the Japanese artillery bombardment lasted exceptionally long, and it not only bombarded the forward trenches, but also extended firepower to the back of the position.

    Those soldiers of the national army who had withdrawn relatively recently suffered a disaster. They had obviously withdrawn from their positions, but they still could not escape the shelling.

    Fortunately, the number of such unlucky guys is limited. If the Japanese army's firepower extends to a wider range, the losses of Gao Hu's troops will be great.

    The Japanese bombardment lasted for more than ten minutes. Not only was this bombardment long, but the firepower was also quite fierce. Shells continued to fall on the position.

    In the face of the fierce Japanese artillery fire, the already shaky garrison positions and various fortifications were destroyed one by one like paper.

    Ten minutes later, the shelling slowly stopped, and by this time the little Japanese infantry had already entered a distance of more than 200 meters in front of the front line!

    As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, Gao Hu immediately organized his troops to enter the position and prepare to counterattack.

    However, when the troops entered the position, everyone was shocked. The originally intact position was now reduced to huge foxholes, with sandbags flying everywhere.

    There was only one seriously injured person left in the guard posts left on the position. Most of the soldiers could not even find their bodies. Gao Hu was frightened after seeing this.

    ※If I hadn＊t caught the opportunity early, I would have probably completely scrapped the army now.

    At the same time, this also reflects from the side how powerful the Japanese army is. Even if the combat effectiveness of these sons of bitches has been greatly weakened, they are still not something that the Chinese army can contend with.

    Seeing that the Japs were coming up, Gao Hu immediately ordered his troops to fight back!

    At this time, there is nothing else to worry about. As long as the troops enter the trenches, they will open fire!

    "Da da da"

    As gunshots rang out from the defenders＊ position, the little devil＊s advance suddenly slowed down!

    But what Ling Gao Hu didn't expect was that this attack was just the beginning, and gunfire rang out from the side positions that had been quiet.

    This made Gao Hu's heart sink. The little devil was determined to take over this position, which forced him to work hard to deal with it.

    In fact, the Japanese commanders at the front were even more depressed than Gao Hu. It had been almost two years since the war of aggression against China. There had been not only 1,000 but also 800 large and small battles. The Japanese had always been attacking, so the little devils  I still have a lot of experience in fighting difficult battles.

    In their understanding, although the Chinese military is remarkable in defensive operations, it cannot last long.

    No matter how powerful the opponent is, whether it is the Central Army or the local army, as long as the Imperial Japanese Army concentrates its firepower to attack one point, as long as one point is broken through, the Chinese army will be defeated across the board, without exception. This was done even when they captured Nanjing.  method.

    If the front can＊t be broken through normally, then they can make a detour from the side. In the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Wuhan, they achieved victory by using large detour tactics.

    But Hyoutarou Kimura did not expect that they could not break through even though they were attacking a small hilltop, forcing them to invest a large number of technical troops and even conduct roundabout operations. They were speechless.
