Fierce fighting was raging at this time on the mountainside, not only Lu Hai and them were looking for an opportunity to shoot at the bottom of the mountain, but also the troops of the second company opened fire with all their strength under the order of Zhao Jianying, two Hatch Chase and seven or eight Czech-style guns plus hundreds of rifle firepower suppressed the Japanese army and couldn't move, at the same time, Zhang Chong also rushed over quickly after stabilizing the troops.

At this time, on Yuwang Mountain, the soldiers who were still resting had already woken up, and according to Zhang Chong's order, they strictly guarded the defense line to prevent the Japanese army from taking the opportunity to make any moves.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side also knew that they were exposed, so they simply beat out their plaster flags and planted them in the position, and there were gunshots on both sides, and Zhang Chongyou, who was looking at the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides in front, looked at the position in front of him and frowned for a while.

The Japanese soldiers who mixed into the battle line had a squad of only fifty or sixty people, but they occupied the favorable terrain, and once they attacked their own casualties, the casualties should not be underestimated, and at this time, Yuwang Mountain was full of battle lines, once the artillery was fired a slight error, the shells would be smashed on the heads of their own people. Zhang Chong is not worried about what kind of storm this group of Japanese troops can set off now, the only thing he is worried about is how to reduce his own casualties, after thinking about it, Zhang Chong thought of two points, one is to let the soldiers use sandbags as a cover, the main and secondary advances, so that it can effectively avoid the Japanese shooting, but the Japanese army is condescending, the sandbags move slowly, not to mention, and it is easy to roll down, it is difficult to go up, and it is also difficult to roll left and right, the military quality of the Japanese army is excellent, it is difficult to avoid casualties.

After thinking about it again, Zhang Chong turned around and said, "Call Sun Yang and Li Fan over!"

"Yes"!

After a while, Sun Yang, Li Fan and a few artillerymen rushed over, and Zhang Chong directly handed over the telescope and said, "You two see, can you beat them with mortars?"

Li Fan took the binoculars and looked at them for a moment, frowned and said, "Division commander, the positions of the two sides are staggered, and there is a slight carelessness... I'm not absolutely sure"!

"Were you sure you were there when you bombarded the hill before"? Zhang Chong asked.

"No...

"Then give me a bang, but you have to measure accurately, you made a mistake and injured our own brother"! Zhang Chong continued.

Seeing this, Li Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes"!

Immediately, Li Fan and Sun Yang quickly ran back to their positions, set up four 82 mortars, and carefully corrected the azimuth coordinates through binoculars. After doing this, Sun Yang said: "It's all ready, do you want to open fire"?

"Open fire"! Li Fan ordered loudly.

"Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom"

There were four crisp sound of discharge, and the position in front of it also roared violently, but the bullet into the enemy position was accurate, a light machine gun position that was firing to suppress Lu Hai was directly hit by a shell, and the machine gunner who was opening his mouth and a few Japanese soldiers who were shooting were directly blown away by the shells several meters high and smashed down, and even the plaster flag that the Japanese had just raised was hit by the shells, and at this moment, Li Fan ordered again: "Two rapid fires, release"!

As soon as the words fell, the four mortars followed closely, and the entire small Japanese position instantly turned into a sea of fire, and many Japanese troops were blown up.

The place Zhang Chong was referring to was not elsewhere, it was the deep pit headquarters where the Japanese squad leader was hiding, Li Fan looked at it and said, "Yes, I will personally operate this artillery"!

Saying that, Li Fan walked down and quickly revised the coordinates of a cannon, picked up the binoculars and looked at it, stretched out his hand to pick up a cannonball, and loaded it directly, in the command center, the Japanese squad leader was anxiously commanding the troops who had suffered heavy casualties, and scolded Baga angrily, they are all elite soldiers drawn from the Banyuan Division, and their task is actually to lurk in the army and cooperate with the large army to attack the mountain during the day. However, they were only seen through this cooperation between the inside and the outside, and the Chinese army on the opposite side not only did not mobilize large forces to attack them, but bombarded them with mortars on this staggered position, but the problem was that this mortar was inevitably too accurate, and almost every shot was smashed on their position with great accuracy, and now the position was already ten or seven or eight losses, and in a few minutes, they could all go to see their emperor.

Just when the captain of the Japanese squad was shouting with a katana, the cannonball fired by Li Fan also smashed directly and accurately from the sky in a parabola.

At the same time, the remaining three mortars were also bombarded in an expanded range, and the entire Japanese position was full of fire, Zhang Chong looked through the telescope and said happily: "If you want to touch my night snail (the meaning of sneak attack), Lao Tzu will kill as many as you want!" Tell the infantry to charge and quickly clear out the remnants of the enemy"!

"Yes"!

Without waiting for the order to be delivered, Lu Hai at the bottom of the mountain saw that the Japanese army position was full of fire, and the fire was basically not at the firing point, and his own artillery position obviously did not mean to open fire, and said to more than a dozen people around him: "Rush with me"!

Speaking, more than a dozen people quickly assaulted the position on the hillside, a wounded Japanese soldier raised his gun and was about to fire when he was killed by Lu Hai who rushed up, and a soldier next to him was about to shoot and was directly stabbed to death by a soldier rushing up with a bayonet, and the remnants of a dozen Japanese soldiers on the entire position were either shot to death or stabbed to death by bayonets, and the battle ended in just two minutes, Lu Hai then made a gesture towards the opposite position, and a moment later, Zhao Jianying came with a platoon of soldiers to clean up the battlefield and change positions.

In this battle, more than 50 Japanese soldiers were killed, and four machine guns, 40 rifles, a command knife and some other miscellaneous trophies were captured. Although there were no casualties among the troops who attacked them, but there were more than 100 people who were killed by the sneak attack before, how to count them as suffering a big loss, Zhang Chong personally walked up to the position, looked at the Japanese corpses that were mixed together, and said: "After dawn, these Japanese corpses have taken off their clothes for me and thrown them down the mountain, telling those bastards that this is the end of the sneak attack, and the dead brothers are all recorded in the register, so that they can be buried alive!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Chong looked at Lu Haidao: "The deputy commander of the second battalion died, from now on you will be the deputy commander of the second battalion, I will try my best to replenish the lost soldiers, if the Japanese army is touching in, I will personally kill a few of your officers!" ”

After saying that, Zhang Chong left directly, Zhao Jianying looked at Lu Hai on the opposite side and smiled bitterly, and said: "Why don't I garrison this defense line now, how do you see if you defend the previous position of a company?"

"You don't have a few soldiers in your hands now, so let's shrink the defensive line, and we won't defend this position!" Lu Hai frowned.

"Don't keep it? It's the brigade headquarters from here, and we won't keep it"? Zhao Jianying was puzzled.

"I said that there is no need to defend the troops, we will move the position to the rear and the two sides and let go of the position here, leaving only one squad of firepower, but this position is in our crossfire, and I will plant explosives on these positions, I will let them have no return"! Lu Haidao.

Hearing Lu Hai say this, Zhao Jianying also understood Lu Hai's purpose, now their second battalion has lost more than 100 people, obviously insufficient troops, and now the strength of the entire 60th Army is overstretched, I am afraid that the division commander has no extra troops to send over, they can only consolidate the defense line in this way, otherwise once the Japanese army attacks here, they will not have enough troops to defend, and the consequences can be imagined.

If the defense line is retracted and retreated to the second line, and all the positions here are turned into powder fields, then there can be a surprise effect, and even if the Japanese army attacks here, the condescending firepower on their second line of defense can stabilize the defense line.

Just do it, the forces of the first and second companies are shrinking to both sides, and they are starting to dig new trenches and connect the previous two positions, this is to do it at dawn, and by dawn all the trenches have been dug up, and even a large area of the city, the hollow place is almost all traps, as long as the Japanese army arrives, there will be no bones.

After dawn, the entire 60th Army also looked nervous and prepared, ready to respond to the Japanese attack at any time, but this was enough until noon, the Japanese army did not come to attack, and even some scattered positions outside Yuwang Mountain did not see any traces of the Japanese army coming to attack, and the whole battlefield was quiet instead of normal.

From the time they participated in the war, basically fought hard for days, every day had to pay huge casualties, the Japanese army was either aircraft artillery or infantry artillery with the tank charge on the plane, and the first two days of coming to Yuwang Mountain was unexpectedly calm, except for the night battle, there was basically no big battle during the day, but the location of Yuwang Mountain was extremely important, the Japanese army must take Xuzhou here, the quieter it was so hidden that the danger was probably greater.

It's like a fist is accumulating and contracting, ready for a more powerful blow.

On this day, the soldiers on the entire Yuwang Mountain are digging the soil and stone under their feet, trying their best to dig out a few anti-artillery holes and cat's ear holes, and on the other hand, they are strictly guarding and ready to face the attack of the Japanese army at any time, although the excavation on Yuwang Mountain is quite difficult, but the Japanese army did not make a big move for two days, but gave them a golden opportunity to breathe.

But this was only short-lived, on this night, the storm still came, at ten o'clock in the night, Zhang Chong received a direct call from Lu Han of the forward military headquarters: "The forward sentry report, a brigade of the Japanese army, and a cavalry brigade, eight tanks, and more than a dozen mountain artillery guns are coming over...
