On the hilltop high ground on the left flank of Niutouling, Li Hao is condescending and can overlook the entire battlefield.

Whether it is the Japanese army's every move or the battlefield situation, it can be seen clearly.

The blocking battle has lasted for half an hour, and the independent battalion has successfully repelled two attacks by the Japanese puppet army, and the corpses of the Japanese puppet soldiers killed in the battle are everywhere on the mountainside of Niutouling, densely packed.

The remains of many soldiers of the independent battalion were also mixed in, and they were all soldiers who died when the troops fought with the devils at close range.

Without heavy artillery cover, and the heavy machine gun firepower was not as good as the Japanese army, Zhao Wen could only put the devil into the fight, greeted with grenades, and then attacked with close fire, and finally fought bayonets, using the melee pistols that the troops were heavily equipped with to repel them.

"Regiment Commander, a new round of attacks by the devils has begun!" Hong Linfeng stood next to him and reminded, his face full of worry.

"The independent battalion lost more than one company in just over half an hour, and I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand it, so should I order the artillery to open fire and support them."

Li Hao looked at the time and replied: "It's 5:40 now, and it will be dark in an hour at most, and it will be impossible for the little devil plane to come over, it's almost." ”

"Tell Zhao Wen to prepare for a counterattack."

"The special battalion will set off now, touch the flank of the Japanese offensive position, and after the shelling begins, directly launch a surprise attack on the Japanese offensive position, and unite the independent battalion to flank the front and rear to kill the devil attack force."

"If possible, take down the devil's heavy machine gun position and artillery position together."

"The two reinforced companies of the third battalion and the motorized battalion made a feint to attack the main force of the little devils, and all the light and heavy machine guns were used, playing the posture of the two main battalions, forcing the little devils to retreat, so that they did not dare to rescue the attacking troops."

"The reinforced company of the second battalion is ready to break through and retreat, and block the mountain pass at any cost if the little devil wants to break through and retreat."

"When the special battalion and the independent battalion take out the devil attacking troops, they will rush over to reinforce them, and completely annihilate the remaining troops of the Middle Valley Wing."

"The artillery was divided into three, and the heavy mortars with the longest range attacked the assembly of the main forces of the Japanese army."

"Half of the ordinary mortars came out to shell the Japanese attacking troops, and the other half shelled the Japanese offensive positions, destroying their artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions, covering the surprise attacks of the special battalion and the independent battalion, and completely annihilating all the little devil attacking troops."

The assembly place of the Nakatani United, Nakatani Osa had a serious face, and his heart was very complicated.

On the mountains, the Eighth Route Army's will to resist was much stronger than he imagined.

In two consecutive attacks, the Imperial Army's offensive was broken up with melee combat, which the Imperial Army excels at, and then had to retreat.

Nakatani Osa was also very happy, because until the battle had been fought so far, the Eighth Route Army on the mountain ridge had not used any other heavy weapons except for light and heavy machine guns and a few light mortars.

This shows that his judgment at the beginning was completely correct: there was only a guard unit equipped with a small number of heavy weapons on the mountain,

It is true that the main force of the garrison regiment is not here.

As a result, Nakatani Daisa's worries were completely gone, and he directly drew an infantry squadron and two local garrison squadrons from the small main force, adding up to nearly five hundred imperial troops, and launched a third attack at the same time.

The first two defeats were because the attacking troops were too small, and the last battle for bayonets was insufficient, and they were forced to retreat by the Eighth Route Army's superior strength and a large number of equipped pistols.

This time, Nakatani Osa learned his lesson and dispatched three squadrons at once without worries, and launched an attack with the determination to win.

The battle situation was exactly the same as the previous two times, the attacking troops were in a no-man's land, and easily rushed to the foot of the mountain, and then the mountainside remembered the sound of the Eighth Route Army's blocking gunfire.

"The heavy machine gun squadron and the artillery squadron immediately fired to cover the attacking troops, and this attack must take the hills." Nakatani Osa commanded murderously.

As soon as the guns on the offensive position rang out, the blocking guns of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside weakened.

The pace of the assault of the attacking forces increased significantly.

Suddenly, a string of more than a dozen flames splashed in the middle of the attacking troops, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and many soldiers were blown into the sky. Immediately after, the explosion of "booming ......" reached Nakatani Daisa's ears.

"Bageya Road, what are the artillerymen eating, their shells missed, I want them to bomb the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside, not our attacking troops." Nakatani Daisa was furious and roared loudly.

"Boom ......"

Before the words were finished, the same explosions sounded in the offensive positions.

Artillery positions, heavy machine-gun positions, all under attack, fires splashed everywhere, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke was raised.

"Woo woo woo ......" a series of screams followed. As it got closer, the sound grew harsher and harrier.

The artillery staff officer's face quickly turned pale, and he shouted: "Baga, a shell is flying towards us, protect the wing captain and hide!" ”

"Boom ......"

Before they could finish speaking, an explosion rang out, and the nearest explosion point was less than forty meters away from them, and they could feel the air wave coming towards their faces when they were lying on the ground, burning their backs.

"Bageya Road, isn't the main force of the garrison out of the mountain? How can there be such a powerful artillery unit in the mountains. Nakatani Osa lay on the ground, his face was no longer as calm as he had just now, the sound of the cannon became denser and denser, and his face slowly turned white, and then shouted at the top of his voice.

"Sir, this is the artillery unit that attacked us last night." The chief of staff shouted with desperation.

"There are ordinary light mortars, there are large-caliber mortars, the number of which is more than forty."

"The main force of the garrison regiment has not left the mountain at all, and has been moving around, we must have been tricked again."

Nakatani Daisa's face also sank, and he suddenly realized and shouted: "Eight Grid Yalu, the garrison group wants to annihilate us all here." ”

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army on the mountain ridge has begun to counterattack!" Men rushed over under artillery fire and reported.

"Sir, the left flank of the offensive position is being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, with a strength of about one battalion." Another subordinate rushed over and reported with a nervous expression.

"Not good, the attacking troops are in danger." Nakatani Osa reacted quickly and immediately ordered.

"The two Eighth Route Armies launched an attack together under the cover of artillery fire, flanking from the front and rear, which was to eat the posture of our attacking troops."

"Immediately draw a squadron from the garrison and launch a surprise attack directly on the Eighth Route Army attacking on the left flank to cover the retreat of the attacking troops."

"Sir, it's too late." The chief of staff shook his head and replied.

"Da Da Da ......"

Before Nakatani could understand why, the sound of dense gunfire rang in his ears, and then he heard the desperate report of the chief of staff.

"The Eighth Route Army is coming towards us, on both the left and right, and the fire is very fierce."

"They want to wipe us all out here!"

"The terrain here is too unfavorable for us, once we are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, we don't even have a place to defend it."

Nakatani Osa also saw it, and a touch of unbearability and heartache flashed on his desperate face, but it was quickly replaced by firmness, and then he ordered very decisively.

"Let's retreat, get out of here first, or everyone will die here, and the Midvale United can't die at my hands."

"Order the attacking forces to break through and retreat on their own, and then join us."
