It was already August, and the battle of Songshan had been going on for more than two months, and the Jin-Burma Highway had been gradually opened. The weather is a little clearer, and the planes can also deliver supplies to the Longling siege troops. The logistical supply of the 11th Army improved somewhat.

Since the end of July, the troops have recovered their combat effectiveness after about half a water rest, and Song Xilian has urgently begun another offensive against Longling.

In order to strengthen his command, General Song moved the command post of the group army to Hetou, which was closest to the front line.

Song Xilian redeployed: 3 divisions of the 71st Army attached to the mountain artillery battalion of the 5th Army to attack the enemy in the strongholds of Laodongpo, Fengfengpo, and Guze Mountain; The new 39th Division attached the 1st Company of the Mountain Artillery Battalion of the 5th Army, and the enemy attacked at Sanguanpo; The two regiments of the 1st Honor Division were ready to join the attack on the Longling city at any time as reserves; The 2nd Army continued to attack Pingga and Xiangda in order to contain the Japanese army.

The focus of this attack was on the east side of Longling Castle, where several Japanese strongholds were close to each other, and if these strongholds could be taken, the siege obstacles would be eliminated from the front.

On August 14, after several days of rain, the sky finally cleared. Fourteen Allied fighters and 24 bombers flew over Longling at the same time.

At this time, there was a roar of planes in the sky, it was the Allied fighter planes, and it was obvious that the headquarters and General Stilwell had coordinated and called in the US fighter jets to support the attack on Longling City, so there would be so many fighter groups in the sky for a while.

I heard the sound of bombs falling from the sky and cutting through the air. Suddenly, the Japanese position was in flames, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and soon the Japanese firepower was suppressed.

"Retreat ......" Nakajima saw the air raid of the plane, and had no choice but to order all the devils around him to retreat, but it was too late, not only the troops in front were attacked by the air, but the mortar team behind was also buried in the bomb explosion, and the entire Longling City fell into a sea of fire....

The whistling bombs fell among the devils who had no time to hide, making a violent explosion sound, and with the explosion that shook the earth, the corpses of the little devils were swept into the air, and it took several seconds before falling to the ground, surrounded by the corpses of the devils, but the bombing did not stop because of this, and at the same time that the sky swept through the air and left a non-stop whistling sound, the bombs rained down on the ground.

Many little devils didn't even have time to escape, they were already surrounded by the crowd of explosions, and it was hard to describe the scene as they watched their bodies and their companions being blown apart.

At this very moment, a bomb fell from the sky and landed in front of Nakajima and Okamoto, and the devil soldiers around them immediately lay down in all directions when they saw the bomb, and no one dared to get up, and Okamoto and Nakajima were no exception, because they both knew very well that if the bomb exploded, none of them would survive.

However, the bomb did not go off, which brought them a hint of luck, but at this time, the Allied planes also withdrew due to the completion of the bombing mission, and the bombs that kept falling in the air also stopped, but this did not bode well, and the bombs stopped, replaced by the sound of submachine guns fired at intervals, which was the Chinese army charging them and were killing them in their direction.

Come on! With the cooperation of powerful air force and artillery fire, the siege troops intensified their attacks on the targets.

The 87th Division, under the leadership of Division Commander Huang Yan, conquered Zhoujiazhai, Sansheng Temple, Shangliuyuan and other strongholds.

The new 28th Division, under the leadership of Wang Zhixi, led the anticline of Xiaotuan Mountain and the old eastern slope.

The arduous battle for the position was still stagnant on those difficult hills, the Japanese army had been stubbornly resisting on the basis of strong fortifications, and the enemy and us repeatedly fought in front of the battle, and in front of the strongholds such as Laodongpo, Sanguanpo, and Guoditangpo, Song Xilian's attacking troops paid heavy casualties and failed to seize the position.

On 16 August, General Song had to use reserves to join the attack with two regiments of the Honorable 1st Division.

In front of the old Dongpo position, the new 28th Division took over the exhausted 88th Division, and under the cover of artillery fire, the new 28th Division occupied the 1st part of Xiaotuanshan in the 82nd Regiment of the left flank attack team. The 82nd Regiment, which had just gained a foothold, planted a large number of mines in the forward positions that night. Early the next morning, the Japanese army began a fierce counterattack again.

With four main bombing points and nearly 100 mines of all kinds, a feast of mines is waiting for the enemy to become denser and denser, and it is best that when the Japanese army charges out, it will explode with joy.

More than 200 Japanese troops lined up in several rows. Koji Otake was full of confidence and wanted to use this surge charge to capture the enemy's position in one fell swoop and open the way to the north and south corners of Longling.

Guns rang out, the enemy shouted, and one line of attack charged along the hillside to the top of the hill, with great momentum and spectacular.

300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters......

The four detonator handles were slammed down, "Boom! "Boom!" "Boom!" …… Deafening explosions rang out one after another, the earth trembled, the smoke filled the air, and the slopes and feet of the mountains were like a sea of fire and purgatory within a thousand meters. The main detonation point detonated the sub-detonation point, which in turn triggered a more branched mine. Rubble and shrapnel flew in the air, like a storm of death.

In this storm of death, a large number of Japanese soldiers screamed and wailed in the smoke, and wolves rushed to the pigs, and they were overturned and knocked down like scarecrows. In particular, around the two main explosion points, there were fallen pieces of enemies, and the corpses were riddled with holes, some of which were beaten into sacks.

On the surface, these two main explosion points are two huge rocks weighing several hundred pounds, but under the boulders are dozens of kilograms of explosives. When it explodes, the broken iron and sharp stones that are pressed under the boulder will fly away in all directions under the pressure of the boulder, just like a gate knife that can sweep the surroundings around! In principle, this kind of mine, which is not a mine, is similar to an anti-infantry directional mine.

Some grenades explode in the air, leaving the enemy without even a dead spot to dodge; Some fell to the ground and rolled in smoke, exploding under the terrified cries and gazes of the enemy.

Not only did the Japanese troops who rushed to the storm suffer heavy losses, but also the standby troops that were preparing to attack in the back were also affected. The devil infantry artillery, which was accustomed to bombardment in close proximity, was blown up by grenades flying indiscriminately in the air, and the shells that had been loaded with fuses were detonated, which not only destroyed the artillery and killed and injured the devil artillerymen, but also caused even greater confusion and panic.

A grenade flew into the sky like a little black eagle and smashed down hard, knocking several enemies to the ground in the rising smoke.

However, the 1st Regiment of the 84th Regiment of the right-wing attack team made a detour back to the side of Hill No. 6 and was also attacked by Japanese mines, suffering heavy casualties. The regiment commander could only order the troops to build fortifications on the spot and look for opportunities to fight again.

From August 14, the new 28th Division fought fiercely with the Japanese army for six days and nights, and each fortress captured was repeatedly fought for in a see-saw manner, and the battle was very hard, and Chen Mingren had to order the 262nd Regiment of the 88th Division to enter the battle again. The two forces cooperated and finally completely occupied Datuan Mountain on the 19th.

In this battle, the troops paid a heavy price. A regiment of the new 28th Division had more than 1,000 officers and men in front of the attack on the mountain, but at the end of the battle there were only more than 200 officers, and most of the officers and men died heroically.
