If according to the strength of the three battalions of the 152nd Regiment in peacetime, attacking a small high ground of the Japanese army is not much of a problem normally, but the Japanese Jiuxiantang defenders are responsible for covering the retreat of large troops, and it is very difficult to resist.

In addition, it was the autumn rainy season, and the mountains were drizzling and foggy, which also greatly increased the difficulty of attacking.

The main thing is that the enemy's point of fire is difficult to determine, the fire of the machine gun is a little more recognizable, it can be confirmed from the sound and the brightness of the continuous fire, but the rifle is almost elusive, it is difficult to dodge and lock.

Under the difficult situation of advancing and retreating, the Eighth Company had to conceal itself in a dead end, and the two sides of the battle were in a state of stalemate for a time.

The front of the 196 heights is narrow, and the troops cannot be used, at most the width of a platoon, and the several heights on the side are also guarded by the enemy, and other brother units are also encountering the same problems as the third battalion.

It lasted until 7 October, when Li Tianxia, commander of the 51st Division, received information that the 170th Regiment of the 57th Division had repelled the Japanese troops entrenched in the villages north of Shangfu, and there was no trace of defeat in the Shangfu area.

Based on this, Division Commander Li judged that the main force of the 106th Division was rapidly retreating in the direction of Fengxin, and the Japanese army in Jiuxiantang was only responsible for covering, and there were almost no reinforcements in terms of troops, and they did not dare to boldly counterattack on a large scale.

In this case, what is there to be afraid of, besides, he has to take this place as soon as possible and pursue the Japanese army who are about to flee, so he further increased the attack force and put the 151st Regiment into the battlefield.

The strength was doubled, and so was the firepower, and the Japanese army in Jiuxiantang immediately couldn't stand it, and the three battalions, under the command of Sangou, began to attack at night.

Anyway, it was rainy and foggy during the day, so it was better to fight directly at night, at least without the help of Japanese planes and artillery bombardment.

At night, the sight of the Japanese troops on the mountain was the same as that of the people under the mountain, and the third battalion was again engaged in nine companies, two companies divided into six places, one platoon in each place, under the cover of mortars and heavy machine guns, touched the 196 heights.

When he broke up, he was desperately counterattacked by the Japanese army, and the attack was blocked for a time.

In the past, most of the Chinese army of Sangou was on the defensive, and during this time, they often attacked out, just one Gao'an, and attacked several times.

Now attacking the highlands occupied by the Japanese army, there are more new recruits in the troops, and they are not very experienced in attacking the highlands in this kind of highland attack, so they can only fight behind the veterans.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Sangou was so anxious that he ran to the machine gun company, and shouted not to save bullets and shells, Jiuxian Tang is the base of the Japanese army's military station, and it will be replenished on the spot when it is hit, and there will be as many as you want.

The bamboo pole personally went to the field, operated the mortar, and hit the exposed light and heavy machine gun fire points of the Japanese army, and when the fire points were dumbed one by one, the brothers of the eighth and ninth companies shouted slogans and began to rush up.

The Japanese army threw down the grenades like rain, and the foot of the mountain exploded, watching a large number of soldiers fall, the three dogs were angry, and they pulled away the heavy machine gun shooter in front of them, and personally operated the gun, and fired continuously at the Japanese position.

The 250 rounds of ammunition were finished in a while, and the two ammunition men next to them, holding a cartridge cloth full of bullets, were waiting for it, and after the shot, they were connected to the bolt and continued to fight, and the other ammunition soldiers also carried the whole box of bullets.

The water pipes of Maxim's heavy machine guns were steaming hot, and the machine gunners in asbestos gloves kept the spare barrels filled with water next to them, ready to be replaced.

Seeing that the battalion commander himself had opened fire, the other heavy machine guns also fired desperately in bursts, and the six heavy machine guns poured thousands of rounds of heavy sharp bullets on the Japanese army's high ground positions under the leadership of tracer bullets.

Six heavy machine guns fired bullets from different angles at night, like a molten steel production line in a steel plant, and the six strips of molten steel were fanned out and sprayed intensively at the Japanese positions.

Those devils who wanted to throw grenades with their arms raised were either broken to pieces by heavy machine gun bullets, or their arms were broken into several pieces, or they were hiding in the trenches, and they were also killed in the trenches by heavy bullets that pierced through the dirt and sandbags.

Such a dense heavy machine gun bullet was also the first time that Sangou had ever fought, and the machine gun hose was hot after a while, so he changed the barrel and continued to fight.

The soldiers of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company, under the cover of such powerful and dense firepower, rushed upwards in a frenzy, and as soon as they plunged into the Japanese trenches, they immediately engaged in close combat, and the machine guns on the side of the machine gun company stopped.

There was only one squadron of Japanese troops on the mountain, and now it was not full, and many people were killed in battle, and once they were pounced on by nearly 300 people from the two companies of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company, they were obviously at a disadvantage in numbers.

After the hand-to-hand encounter, the terrain advantage of the Japanese army disappeared immediately, and now it can only fight with the Chinese army for manpower, once it is time to fight for manpower, the third battalion has not been afraid of devils.

Especially the Eighth Company, under the leadership of the Doglegs, a gang of murderous devils, are all very excited, and now they have finally caught the opportunity to face the devil, can they not be happy.

In the trenches of the Japanese army, short-hit weapons such as shell guns and broadswords quickly prevailed, and with the large number of people, a squadron of Japanese troops could not hold it for a while.

The devils did not dare to flee in the direction of Jiuxiantang, because the Japanese troops there would shoot them with machine guns, and they were also told to defend the 196 heights.

Therefore, many devils were forced to be helpless in the end, so they knocked their grenades and died with the Chinese soldiers, and the squadron leader of the Japanese army also picked up the saber and committed suicide by disembowelment.

The 8th and 9th companies of the 3rd battalion paid the price of more than 100 dead and wounded, and finally took the 196 heights, but also annihilated a squadron of Japanese troops, at least nearly 200 people.

When the Seventh Company kept up with the cleaning of the battlefield, when encountering the corpse of the devil whether it was dead or alive, it was a shot, and it was checked after the gun and knife were replenished, and the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company were on standby at any time in addition to building 196 positions.

The Japanese army is indeed not a lot of troops, and it is only to cover the retreat of the large army, and now the 196 heights are occupied, and no one has been sent out to fight back.

The occupation of the 196 Heights, like a domino trigger point, immediately began to spread to the entire Nine Immortal Tang battlefield.

Seeing that the 3rd Battalion had taken the 196 Heights, Liu Guangyu, the commander of the 152nd Regiment, immediately ordered Battalion Commander Luo Zhicheng to send troops to the heights on both sides to expand to both sides, expand the results of the battle, and at the same time provide assistance to the brother troops.

Sangou ordered the 7th Company to guard the 196th Height, the 8th Company and the 9th Company attacked from the left and right respectively, and the machine gun company immediately carried mortars and machine guns to the 196th Height, and supported the lateral attack of the 8th and 9th Companies.

Some of the brave local people volunteered to be porters and stretcher bearers of the troops, and at this moment they also helped the machine gun company carry machine guns and mortars, as well as ammunition.

Now the relationship between the military and the people can be said to have reached the best period, the people are simple and lovely, and in the face of the bandit-like Japanese army, it is natural to help the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed to protect them.

Everyone knows very well the truth of interdependence, and besides, the current Chinese army, especially the 74th Army stationed in this area, can be described as a model army.

Who doesn't love such an army?
