Looking at the dozens of devils who fled back in embarrassment, the brothers of the company were a little annoyed, after all, it was a few times just now, but the devils didn't love to fight, and ran away directly......

The mountain artillery squadron, which received the approximate firing position and defensive line of the Shina Army, continued to fire under the orders of Wing Commander Yoshio Sonoda.

"Boom, boom"

This time, the shells landed on a much more accurate spot, and many shells exploded directly next to the individual bunkers, and the brothers of the second battalion and the first company squatted in the individual bunkers and did not dare to raise their heads at all, and kept bombing and praying for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas......

"Boom" A single bunker was directly hit by the devil's shell, and the three brothers inside didn't run away, and were directly killed by the shell......

For a long time, although the Japanese mountain artillery squadron was trying to carry out artillery bombardment, but on such a wide front, the devil's shells did not have a tracking function, so the probability of directly hitting the individual bunker was still small and pitiful, and after a long half an hour, the devil launched another attack, this time the devil attacked two squadrons, and there were a large number of mortars behind......

"The devil is coming up, order the first battalion and the second battalion to fire together and kill and wound the devil as much as possible." Zhu Binqiu had already seen the black devils assembling from the telescope, and immediately ordered the heralds;

"The guard company is ready, ready to strike at any time!" Zhu Binqiu shouted as the brothers of the guard company assembled in the trenches, preparing to reinforce the area that was attacked by the devils......

At the same time that the 18th Regiment was attacked by the 106th Division of the Devils, the Phoenix Mountain in the south also exchanged fire with the Devils, and it was also the 136th Brigade of Major General Aoki Seiichi from the 106th Division of the Devils, and the attack was a brigade under the 123rd Wing led by Oza Kijima; The 15th Regiment had already suffered heavy losses in the Quanshuilong area, and the attack on a brigade on the opposite side was difficult to hold the line under the favorable location of the battle base and the repeated reinforcement of fortifications;

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the staff officers of the headquarters of the Eighth Army and the chaotic headquarters of the Eighth Army were busy, nervously marking the operational map, the telephone of the communication company rang non-stop, and the telegraph operator kept going to the chief of staff to report with the telegram......

"Chief of Staff, urgent telegram!" The telegraph operator came with a telegram in his hand and said,

When Zhu Xilin looked at the content of the message, he was in a cold sweat! ran directly to Zhao Xitian and said,

"Army commander, the 29th Group Army is calling, it's not good! Look! After saying that, he handed over the telegram,

"At 10 o'clock, the Japanese army landed at the foreign oil factory and launched an attack in the direction of Shazitan. At 14 o'clock, the Japanese landed again at Koikekou, and the defending reserve 9th and 119th divisions were now resisting. The Japanese Botian detachment and the 106th Division had already occupied the Sun Temple and attacked the Jiujiang city from the north. At the same time, under the cover of Japanese aircraft, the Japanese marines forcibly landed and stormed the city from the eastern suburbs of Machang Lake and Yangyouzhan, and were repulsed by the 64th Army of the 29th Group Army, and then turned to attack the first line of Balipo, the 128th Division was negligent in defense and was successfully attacked by the Japanese army, and now the Japanese army has occupied Balipo. ”

Li Yutang looked at the telegram in his hand, while holding a small flag on the sand table, and looked at it in a flash, the third division has been formed a semi-encirclement by the devils, and if this continues, if the Japanese army occupying the sun view continues to advance and occupy Miaozhipu, the entire third division will fall into a heavy encirclement!

"Is there a new order issued by Commander Zhang of the Second Corps?" Li Yutang rubbed his forehead and asked,

"Not yet!" The chief of staff said,

"Order the 3rd Division to hold the existing defensive line, the 13th Regiment to stop the attack, return to Xianglu Mountain, there can be no more problems in the area of Yaque Mountain, otherwise Jiujiang will not hold out tonight!" Li Yutang ordered,

"Yes! Captains! "The Chief of Staff immediately gave the order, which was sent by radio to the 3rd Division......

At the headquarters of the Third Division, Li Yutang looked at the telegram sent by the military headquarters, sighed long, and said,

"Order the Thirteenth Regiment to withdraw to the Incense Burner Mountain and ensure the line of the Incense Burner Mountain! Inform He Jianye to prevent the Botian detachment from sneaking up on the left rear flank! Li Yutang ordered,

"Yes, Commander!" Chief of Staff Zhu Xilin immediately ordered the communications squad to issue the division commander's order by phone,

On the entire defense line of Yaque Mountain, most of the Japanese Botian Detachment and the 145th Wing of the 106th Division attacked the urban area, and now the Kimura Brigade attacking the left rear side of Yaque Mountain did not dare to go deep alone, and did not dare to advance an inch in Xiaoshanliang, and the 147th Wing besieging Xianglu Mountain could not break through the outer defense line of the 18th Regiment and did not dare to directly attack Xianglu Mountain, and the 123rd Wing was firmly blocked by the 15th Regiment in Phoenix Mountain, and Yaque Mountain has not received an attack for the time being......

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the offensive had already begun for three hours, and the Japanese 106th Division was still unable to advance in front of the Yaque Mountain defensive line, and the mountain artillery squadron attached to the Japanese wing could not destroy the field fortifications of the 3rd Division at all, and a large number of artillery shells did not achieve any results except for a large number of casualties among the 15th and 18th Regiments......

"Your Excellency, the current situation is obvious. The Chinese people in this area must be the main force of the Eighth Army, should we continue the offensive or wait for the other troops to occupy Jiujiang and encircle Yaque Mountain? The staff officer asked cautiously,

"Yaga! Ordered the 113th Wing of Iino Kenten to attack directly towards the incense burner mountain, and the rest of the wings involved a large number of Shina troops, so that the Iino Wing must capture the incense burner mountain in one battle, so that Phoenix Mountain will not stand down, and Yaque Mountain will also be in the pocket of my division! Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura ordered,

"Your Excellency, Xianglu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I'm afraid that with the mountain artillery squadron of the 113th Wing, it will be difficult to break through the position of the Zhina, this may be a place where there will be a large number of casualties among the imperial soldiers!" The staff officer worried,

"Order the 106th Wing of the Field Artillery of the Mother Bag Junzhong to support the attack of the 113th Wing, and give me a flat incense burner mountain! Ichikawa Yozo Nakasa's 106th Cavalry Brigade is ready to attack at any time, and once the Shina people retreat from the incense burner mountain, they must immediately pursue and kill the situation, and capture the main position of the Shina people in Yaque Mountain in one fell swoop! Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura ordered fiercely,

"Yes, Your Excellency! I'll let the Signal Soldier deliver your orders! The staff officer said,

"Inform the mother bag Jun Zhongzuo, bring special ammunition, once the attack does not go well, allow the use of special ammunition to attack, there is only one target, before tonight comes, we must take Xianglu Mountain, and encircle the main force of the Eighth Army in Yaque Mountain!" Junrokuro Matsuura slammed his fist on the table and said,

"Hello!" The staff officer quickly walked towards the communications corps......

In the afternoon battle, the attack launched by the 13th Regiment was all repelled by the Japanese army, and even the Kimura brigade launched a counterattack......

The 13th Regiment had just arrived at Xianglu Mountain, and the 3rd Battalion of the 18th Regiment immediately handed over the defensive line, and the regiment commander strictly ordered the 3rd Battalion to immediately return to the defensive line, and the 1st and 2nd Battalions at the foot of the mountain guarded the 600-meter-long jungle defense line, and constantly engaged in a war of attrition with the Japanese devils......
