At the same time, a few shots from the depth of the Eighth Route also landed accurately on the artillery positions in front that were working hard to support the attack. A few shots* blew up the Japanese artillery that was caught off guard, not to mention the heavy casualties, and one shell also detonated the mountain artillery shells that the Japanese army had piled up on the artillery position so brightly.

The Japanese army, which had been led around the mountain by Li Ziyuan, did not tell the former Kwantung Army that all the mortars carried by Ikeda's troops were lost when the entire army was destroyed. And after fighting for so long, not a single shell was fired on the mountain, except for light and heavy machine guns and a limited number of grenadiers.

There was no artillery on the Tuba Road to fight back, which made the artillery invested by the Japanese army very bold to unpack the spare shells and pile them on the artillery position in order to save trouble. Especially the artillery of the Japanese army, which was led by Li Ziyuan and armed for a few days, carried heavy artillery and shells during this time, and was almost exhausted.

If you don't shoot all the shells at this time, do you still wait for the time to retreat, and then carry it back and keep it to exhaust yourself? It's just that what these Japanese soldiers didn't expect was that there was indeed no artillery on the Eighth Road on the mountain. The captured mortars, because no one would use them, were buried directly. But the Eighth Road has already arrived from the periphery, but there is an artillery company.

As a result, one of these rapid fire shots landed directly on the Japanese mountain artillery positions, and the piled up shells that had been equipped with fuses and ready to be fired at any time. Of course, these Japanese troops were all transported by animal power, and it was impossible to carry too many shells.

Combined with the nearly 100 shells consumed during this time, the number of remaining shells is actually not much, but at least the mountain artillery positions that destroyed the Japanese army are still rich. This shot, which fell into the pile of fused shells, was like throwing a torch into a warehouse full of gasoline, directly turning the Japanese mountain artillery position into a brilliant firework.

Two or three hundred shells exploded violently, blowing up several mountain guns on the Japanese artillery position. The entire Japanese mountain artillery position was full of artillery parts that had been blown up, as well as artillery parts that had desperately fired shells at Li Ziyuan's stubborn hill in order to reduce their own burden.

Not only did the mountain artillery units carried by these two Japanese troops, except for a 41-type mountain artillery and more than 60 shells used to block the flank, the entire mountain artillery unit participating in the battle was completely destroyed, and even the 92nd infantry artillery position in front was implicated. The barrel and frame of a Type 41 mountain gun that had been blown up into the sky were directly smashed into the position of a Type 92 infantry gun.

Although there were no shells to detonate the 92 Infantry Gun, this barrel and artillery frame weighing hundreds of kilograms could not be carried by those Japanese artillery who were hiding in Tibet. A few unlucky guys were directly stoned to death by the cannon barrels and large racks that fell from the sky.

Several machine gunners in a Type 92 heavy machine gun position were also stoned to death by a gun wheel that fell from the sky, and several of them were knocked unconscious. The infantry assembled in the rear also suffered, and nearly 100 people were killed and wounded. There were even a few Japanese soldiers who were stupefied by the fragments of corpses that fell from the sky.

An unlucky Japanese soldier received a gift from the sky at the time of the explosion. However, the gift made of this artilleryman who fell into his arms and wore a steel helmet directly scared the recruit crazy. This * inflicted serious damage on the entire battlefield, except for the Japanese puppet army on both flanks, most of the Japanese troops.

The violent explosion made them lose most of their artillery. The troops left behind suffered heavy losses and fell into a certain amount of confusion. Only the two Japanese 90-millimeter mortars carried by the mixed forces of the Japanese puppet army on one side did not suffer in this martyrdom.

These mountain cannons, which were still very arrogant before, immediately completely dumbfounded. At the same time that several * fell into the positions of the Japanese artillery and provoked almost catastrophic consequences. Several rapid fires from at least two other mortars smashed more than a dozen shells on the backs of the Japanese troops who were attacking the hill.

The Japanese army, which was preparing to carry out a decisive blow, was directly defeated by the shells that came from behind before the offensive began. After detonating the mountain artillery position, several mortars that had previously fired at the artillery position also turned around at this time. Without stinging with shells, they smashed the heads of the Japanese soldiers and their machine-gun positions.

The Japanese troops in front were riveted with all their strength, and before the attack they were preparing to launch was launched, they were crushed by * that fell from the sky. The Japanese troops in the back, who were directly under the attack of the surrounding eight directions and were taken by surprise, although in the shortest possible time, recovered from the state of the blindfold and tried to stabilize their positions and resist.

But the Japanese army, which lost all its heavy machine guns in the first place, was in vain under the strafing of those heavy machine guns that turned their muzzles. The entire command system was disrupted, and the internal system was also plunged into chaos, and the Japanese army, which could not stabilize the situation, was beaten and retreated.

The bundle* that was thrown into the Japanese army headquarters sent almost all the lieutenants and above and most of the officers of the squad leader level to the western sky of the Japanese army, which was holding an operational meeting at that time. Although the level of non-commissioned officers in the Japanese army was also very high, it was difficult to control the resistance of so many troops in the event of a sudden blow by relying solely on non-commissioned officers.

The most important thing is that this sneak attack of the Eighth Road, where it came from, and how many troops they have, is still unknown to these Japanese troops. The loud military trumpets sounding in the three directions at almost the same time, as well as the mortars and heavy machine guns that fell on the top of their heads, and the gunfire and shouts of killing all over the surrounding mountains directly told them that this was the main force of the Eighth Route that had killed them.

There were really some Japanese troops who couldn't bear the back, so they could only resist the two remaining squad leaders and the non-commissioned officers under the command of each other, and then retreated to the west. Without its unified command, the Japanese army retreated so quickly that even the Eighth Route, which launched an attack in front of them, was somewhat unexpected.

Facing the eight roads on the mountain, the accuracy is quite high*. The two mortars of the Japanese army and the only surviving mountain gun just wanted to fight back, but they were stunned to find that the infantry covering had been defeated, and a group of eight roads had rushed into their positions because the pursuit speed was too fast.

With the exception of a few pistols, most of the Japanese artillerymen, who did not even have guns, were able to withstand the onslaught of this new force, and in just a few minutes they lost their guns and joined the ranks of the infantry in retreat. Even the fast artillery did not have time to destroy, and the entire remnants of the Japanese artillery were crushed.

Two Japanese Type 97 90-mm mortars, a Type 41 mountain gun, as well as more than 200 rounds* and 60 mountain artillery shells, all fell into the hands of the rushing Eighth Road. The key is mortars and shells, it doesn't matter if they all fall into the hands of this eight-way group.

But the problem is that the poison gas bombs that fell on Li Ziyuan's position before were fired by these two mortars. In addition to more than 200 ordinary shells, the remaining 100 rounds of poison gas shells were also left. And it didn't matter if they withdrew, but it directly exposed the back of the Japanese army in front of them.

At this moment, the Japanese soldier who commanded the former Kwantung Army and considered himself the most elite in the Japanese Army was also somewhat at a loss in the face of the current situation. A dozen rounds landed in the artillery position, blowing up almost half of his artillery, leaving him with most of his fire support capability.

Almost at the same time, he smashed on his head, and more and more * clearly told them that this Eight Ways that came out of their backs was definitely not an ordinary Eight Roads of Dirt. Just like those colleagues on the battlefield in Kannai said, they are all fucking old eight. The collapse of the allies behind him in such a short period of time was also quite unexpected.

Although he was arrogant, this Japanese commander was not stupid after all. The surrounding friendly forces were routed in a short period of time, and it was quite dangerous to stay here alone with the enemy's situation unknown. Moreover, after a small half-day attack, although he inflicted heavy damage on the eight roads on the mountain, his own casualties were not small.

The last attack, the dozen or so shots* that came over, were enough to kill and wound half of the squadron. Combined with the loss of some of the troops in the shell explosion, he had nearly half of the casualties at hand. The friendly troops around him all retreated, and if they didn't retreat, they wouldn't be surrounded by the eight roads that rushed over.

Looking at the eight roads that were still stubbornly resisting in the front, looking at the mortars that were constantly exploding around, and the dense gunfire showed that the opponent had a large number of machine guns and sufficient ammunition, the Japanese commander adhered to the principle of being a hero not to suffer immediate losses, and finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat on the whole line.

At least gather the friendly forces over there that don't know why they collapsed so quickly. And find out how many troops the opponent is coming, so that you can decide what to do next. Although it is a little unpleasant to retreat like this, it is not the style of the Kwantung Army on the battlefield. Compared with the situation that has taken a turn for the worse, the issue of face can also be put on the back burner.

Compared with Yamashita, the Japanese puppet army quickly withdrew for fear of being surrounded by the Eighth Route counter-encirclement. Li Ziyuan on the mountain was relieved at the moment. For the Japanese puppet army who was busy retreating under the mountain, he judged the situation very much and did not carry out the pursuit action. Instead, all the troops that could move were concentrated and a send-off action was taken.

It's not that he doesn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of some more Japanese troops. It's because of this reinforcement that comes, and he knows too well what the strength is. The trumpets of the reinforcements blowing from the mountain were not just a bluff and an order to attack. It is also a disguised means of communication to tell the troops on the mountain who the reinforcements are.

From the unique interruption in these blowing horns, Li Ziyuan immediately heard that this was his own troops. And judging from the charging horns around him, the reinforcements who rushed over were probably just such a regiment, because he didn't have the horns of other troops.

Although the Japanese army attacking itself at the bottom of the mountain at the moment began to retreat, it was definitely not a rout. Not to mention the Japanese troops who retreated in front, the Japanese troops in front of them wearing puppet army uniforms were the whole army advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, covering the integrity of the troops, and there was no confusion when retreating.

Despite the loss of half of the heavy machine guns, the fire interception behind the rear was always maintained under the cover of light machine guns and grenadiers, as well as a 92 infantry gun that was taken away. This Japanese army was not really defeated on the battlefield, but was implicated in the defeat of other Japanese troops behind them, and they did not want to be exposed to the enemy, so they planned to evacuate quickly.
