Four days passed, and the news of breaking through the defense line of Fort Weiyuan was delayed by the four divisions of Yano Nobunaga, and Umezu Mijiro urged several times, but Yano Nobunaga always replied that he had found the weakness of the defense line, and he would soon be able to break through the defense line, so angry that Umezu Mijiro stomped his feet.

It has been five days since the siege of Lotus Mountain was not attacked, and there may be variables in waiting, although there are four divisions missing, but he believes that eleven divisions and regiments will have no problem capturing Lotus Mountain under the command of two excellent commanders of the empire. He ordered the continuation of the artillery bombardment of Lotus Mountain, and then launched a general assault on Lotus Mountain on December 5.

After the end of the devil's day's bombardment, Lotus Mountain was left behind with devastation and fireworks everywhere. Qiao Xinyu and Shen Yushan led people to patrol around, boosting the morale of the soldiers, and also told the people in the base area to rest assured that the troops would hold Lotus Mountain.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, this battle is so aggrieved, I have been played by the devil as a prey for four days, and our previous deployment in the northwest has been abandoned, and the devil is put into Lotus Mountain." When Zeng Lingshan inspected Qiao Xinyu and Shen Yushan to the northwest, he was a little grumbling when they met.

Shen Yushan said with a dark face: "Commander Zeng, have you made your old mistake again, what you have to do now is how to stabilize and improve the morale of the troops, and be ready to fight at all times, instead of complaining here." ”

Although Zeng Lingshan was silent, he could see that he was still unconvinced, Shen Yushan was about to get angry, Qiao Xinyu hurriedly grabbed him, and said to Zeng Lingshan: "Lingshan, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." The devils thought that this had weakened the morale of our army, but as everyone knows, we just want to use this mentality of the devils to lead them deeper into Lotus Mountain and outside the eighteen fortresses of Lotus Mountain. If we attack blindly, it will not only increase the casualties of the troops, but also expose our intentions in advance, and we will not be able to achieve the effect of the sudden appearance of the eighteen fortresses of Lotus Mountain and the fatal blow to the devils. ”

Zeng Lingshan has been by Lin Junxiong's side for a long time, and he has never questioned Lin Junxiong's orders, but he is not convinced by Qiao Xinyu and Shen Yushan, and the last time he showed his sword in the garrison headquarters, he annihilated a multi-division devil, which made Zeng Lingshan's pride even more. But last time Qiao Xinyu was in the three verticals and three circles of pseudo-Tonghua, which drew a happy ending to the pseudo-Tonghua battle, coupled with Lin Junxiong's respect for Qiao Xinyu, Zeng Lingshan still didn't dare to make a mistake with Qiao Xinyu.

"Ling Shan, a good commander, to have not only bravery, but more importantly, to understand what the overall situation is, the reason why Commander Lin did not point out some of your small problems to you in person is mainly to let you through the practice of war, self-summary, self-reflection, but in your current situation, it is very dangerous, a little careless, it is possible to bring many brothers who were born and died with you to a dead end, you must know that the devil has arranged eleven divisions around Lotus Mountain with nearly 180,000 people, and we only have two columns of less than 80,000 people."

Qiao Xinyu's words deeply touched Zeng Lingshan's heart, and after a long time, he said guiltily: "Political commissar, chief of staff, I'm sorry, I almost couldn't control my impatient personality in the last battle, but fortunately, Huang Ming reminded the political commissar on the side, this time I almost repeated the mistake again, thank you for the political commissar for waking me up, I must learn a lesson, and when this battle is over, I will go and resign with the commander, I can't bring the soldiers into a dangerous situation because I can't change my temper." ”

Qiao Xinyu said with a smile: "It's good to know that you can change your mistakes, your talent is something we all affirm, don't say frustrating words, command the next difficult battle well, we are waiting for the news of your victory." ”

Shen Yushan walked over, glared at him fiercely, punched him in the shoulder, and then smiled and said, "Do a good job, don't let the commander down, we all believe in you!" ”

Zeng Lingshan touched the shoulder that was hit by Shen Yushan and smirked embarrassedly.

Late at night on December 4, in the northwest of Lion Rock, north of Shizigou Village, Guan Xiaoyu, a commando of the Fifth Column, took five members to hide in a dense wood. The northwest side of Lion Rock is full of steep cliffs, and only one ridge extends down, at this moment, Guan Xiaoyu and the six people are hiding in the woods on the top side of the ridge, and their task is to kill the devil's reconnaissance force.

"Deputy Guan, it's been a few days, we haven't even seen the devil's hair, it's almost eleven o'clock, it seems that there will be no movement today." A commando approached Guan Xiaoyu and said.

"In addition to this ridge in the northwest of Lion Rock, we have to go around more than ten kilometers, as long as we pay attention to the movement of this ridge, the devils will not be able to pass, I don't believe that the devils will go around dozens of kilometers more, and the roads everywhere have been destroyed by us, and if the devils are killed for a few days, our large army will have the strength to turn defense into encirclement, annihilate this group of devils, four divisions have been wiped out, I am excited to think about it." Guan Xiaoyu thought that the four divisions of the devil were wiped out by the fifth column where he was located, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

The commando couldn't help laughing, "Deputy Guan, I don't think there should be any situation, or you go to rest, I'll come."

"Shh Guan Xiaoyu made a silent gesture, holding his ear with one hand and listening carefully, there was a rustling sound from under the ridge.

"Isn't it an animal, hehe, brothers can fight tooth sacrifices."

"Shhh, it's such a cold day, where will there be any animal, look carefully, there is a faint flashlight light, maybe it's a scout of the devil, quickly inform the brothers to hide and erase the traces we left."

Guan Xiaoyu led the team members to hide and wait for the faint flashlight to slowly approach. Sure enough, it was a devil, more than a dozen devils pressed the flashlight very low, groped their way forward, and stopped when they arrived at the location where Guan Xiaoyu and they were just now, and sat down to rest after a careful inspection.

After a while, the six devils continued to search towards the top of the ridge, and the rest of the people continued to rest in place. A commando whispered: "Deputy Guan, now is the best time to kill the devil, hurry up and give the order!" ”

Guan Xiaoyu thought about it and said with a smile: "Wait!" ”

Half an hour later, the six devils who went out to search came back, and one devil was full of excitement and muttered to the leading devil, and the devil stood up excitedly, and saw that the other devils who went to search were all nodding excitedly, and the leader immediately called the communication soldier.

"Deputy Guan, if you don't attack, the devil will send out the information here!"

"Hehe, the devil thinks he should succeed, but he doesn't know that Huang Que is still behind, Wang Er, you are fast, hurry back and tell Hu Xiansheng Divisional Commander, and ask him to send troops to the back of the ridge to set up an ambush before dawn, if this ambush battle is well fought, it will be our turn to counterattack in the fifth column."

"Deputy Guan's clever plan, what about this gang of devils?"

"It's better to lure them than to kill them. Keep them, and when the devil's army reaches the bottom of the mountain, we will kill them again and retreat. ”

After several days of attacking, not only failed to break through the defense of Fort Weiyuan, but also lost two divisions, Yano Nobunaga lay on the bed tossing and turning and could not sleep, and he jumped up excitedly when the communications corps sent him the information of the northern reconnaissance team.

"Let Kojima-kun come to see me immediately!"

Yano Nobunaga arranged for the Kojima Division, which was rarely good at night in the Kwantung Army, to rush to Lion Rock overnight, and as long as the defense line of Fort Weiyuan was broken through from there, the new army would fall into passivity and victory would soon beckon to him. In order to cover the Kojima Division, Yano Nobunaga decided to concentrate his forces on attacking Tayama again the next day.

In the early morning of December 5, a strange thick fog shrouded Lion Rock, but it excited the Kojima Division and Hu Xiansheng behind the ridge of Lion Rock. After the Kojima Division arrived at the foot of the mountain, the news from the reconnaissance team on the mountain was still normal, and he imagined that his division suddenly penetrated the Weiyuan Fort defense line and appeared behind the fifth column of the New First Army, and the soldiers of the New First Army were surprised.

And Hu Xiansheng was excited that if one more devil division could be eliminated, the five verticals would annihilate the four devil divisions from the direction of Fengtian, and it would soon become a fact.

"Report, Yano Nobunaga has transferred all troops to the vicinity of Tower Hill."

Diao Yongyun and Yun Dong looked at each other and smiled, and then ordered: "Order Liu Erlong to lead the reserve to hold Tashan for two hours, Hu Xianqiang's 109th Division will go around the back of Yano Nobunaga's troops at full speed, and the troops everywhere will implement the encirclement and annihilation plan in two hours." ”

When Guan Xiaoyu arrived at the foot of the mountain, he immediately led five commandos to quietly solve the reconnaissance team of more than a dozen devils, and then quickly dealt with the scene and retreated.

The high and steep Lion Rock scattered the devils into many pieces, and when the island and the troops finally arrived at a gentle place to rest, there was a violent explosion sound all around, and for a time the mountains and rocks splashed, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the island was killed instantly.

The small island division that lost its command began to flee in a panic, Hu Xiansheng ordered the troops to open fire, and the panicked devils were even more panicked under the fierce firepower, and a wing of more than 1,000 people was forced to the cliff, and many people were pushed off the cliff by their own soldiers in the panic.

The battle lasted less than an hour, and the island division had all collapsed, and the remaining soldiers who had fled in all directions could not organize any counterattack at all, and the new army was chasing and killing devils all over the mountains.

After Liu Erlong on Tashan resisted the devil's five attacks, it was a little difficult to face the devil's attack and defense, and his 118th regiment suffered heavy casualties in the battle a few days ago.

The devil came up again, Liu Erlong hurriedly ran to the front to command the battle, but this time the devil divided his troops to the left and right sides for the main attack, and the two sides were quickly broken through by the devil, Liu Erlong was in a hurry, and took the lead in rushing out of the trench to the devil in front.

The devils on the front didn't expect that the defending New First Army would dare to rush out of the trenches and fight back desperately, but Liu Erlong's bravery with the guard company of the 118th Regiment was completely beyond the devil's expectations, and soon the devils couldn't resist the rout and retreated. But the devils attacking on both sides quickly retreated and surrounded them, and Liu Erlong and more than a hundred soldiers were surrounded by thousands of devils.

Liu Erlong led the soldiers to fight hard in the encirclement of the devils, and in less than half an hour, hundreds of devils fell, and there were less than twenty people left around Liu Erlong. There was a rumbling artillery fire from the bottom of the mountain, Liu Erlong smiled, and the general attack of the Five Columns on Yano Nobunaga's troops began.

Liu Erlong roared loudly and rushed towards the devil with nearly twenty soldiers who had forgotten their lives.
