These mountainous areas at the southern foot of Lushan are full of trees and grass, similar to a labyrinth, and the mountains are rugged and not parallel, and it is difficult for the Japanese army's heavy weapons and air force to play a great role. Although the attacking 106th Division was attacking the Confucian Temple along the road along the edge of the mountain, what Junrokuro Matsuura did not realize was that the Chinese defenders' continuous killing and wounding were provoking the Japanese army and leading them into the mountains step by step; Up to now, Xue Yue's tactical guiding ideology in the Ninth War Zone has been obvious, that is, to exchange life for life, that is, to fight with devils in the mountains and limit the use of devils' heavy weapons.

After the 106th Division occupied the Jinguan Bridge, it got a dilapidated Jinguan Bridge, the objective terrain situation and arrogant ideas made them not think carefully at all, and were led by the Chinese army to the mountainous areas with dense trees and weeds, and stupidly drilled into the quagmire of the mountains in the ninth war zone, and the next competition was who had the stronger will and who could bear the casualties and consumption in the mountainous areas; Since 1931, Chinese Minzhi has endured in blood and fire for 7 years, more and more fallen comrades-in-arms around him, and more and more fathers and villagers behind him have been slaughtered by the Japanese army......

In addition to the huge craters on the position, there are only communication trenches connected to the craters, the trenches have long been smoothed out, and the anti-artillery holes built against the mountains have also collapsed, and the ninth division of the reserve bravely resisted the attack of the 113th Wing under the command of Zhang Yanchuan. It's just exchanging lives with the devil's infantry, and the Chinese soldiers have never been afraid......

In the daytime offensive on August 6, the reserve 9th Division suffered more than 500 casualties, and the attacking 113th Wing did not take much advantage, which can be maintained at a casualty ratio of two to one;

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A wave of attack by the 113th Wing had just been beaten down by the Ninth Reserve Division, and the artillery bombardment of the devils followed closely, and less than 500 of the remaining brothers entered the anti-artillery holes, and the remaining brothers of the nearly two companies without trenches had no way to dodge at all, so they could only look for the craters and pray.......

In fact, everyone knows that now it is close to dusk, and the devil's infantry should not have time to attack after the devil's shelling, but the division commander Zhang Yanchuan still does not dare to take it lightly, the Jinguan Bridge is lost, and it has become the hub of the entire battlefield.

As the sky gradually darkened, the troops of the Ninth Division, who were hiding from the shelling in the artillery holes, went to the battlefield one after another, and they had to take advantage of the darkness to restore the fortifications on the defensive line, otherwise they would not be able to defend it during the day tomorrow;

After several hours of busyness, with the help of the messy craters, at the request of the officers, the communication trenches and trenches were re-excavated, and the craters were twisted into a curve, and the brothers of the Ninth Division were prepared to sit in the craters and simple trenches and nibble on miscellaneous grain cakes, occasionally drinking a sip of cold water, except for the smoke of gunpowder on the position, the screams of the wounded soldiers could no longer be heard, and Zhang Yanchuan had already sent someone to transport the wounded soldiers;

The 113th Wing, which had set up a defensive line at Lijiashan, did not dare to fight at night in the face of the Chinese defenders who were close at hand, and to the southeast of Lijiashan was the Tiger Pass, on which at least one division of Chinese troops was stationed, and some troops were waiting for themselves to show their flaws at Kongjiashan, a kilometer to the south; At the foot of the Confucian Mountain is the only road in this mountainous area that can be regarded as a great road, as long as they expose their flaws, the people of these two directions can attack their forward positions in just fifteen minutes;

"Boom"

Approaching dusk, the 111th Brigade of the Mountain Major General finally waited for the good news, the 145th Wing that had completed the capture of Jinguanqiao returned, a large number of tank lights shone on the mountain road and moved slowly forward, until it reached the front line of Liujiacun before it was completely extinguished, the brigade headquarters set up in Lijiashan could finally breathe a sigh of relief, today during the day, not only to attack the Confucian Temple, but also to guard against the sneak attack of the people of Kongjiashan and Laohukan, so that the 113th Wing has no way to exert its full strength, Now not only the 145th Wing has returned, but also brought back all the chariots, although the chariots are very dangerous in the attack in the mountains, but if you want to guard the defensive line, the people of China will only have to flee when they encounter the counterattack of the chariots......

The noisy Japanese defense line finally returned to tranquility, and on the position of the Confucian Temple less than a kilometer away, Zhang Chuanyan breathed a long sigh of relief, today's daytime battle not only caused heavy casualties to his troops, but also exhausted the living brothers, if the little devil came to another wave of night fighting, I am afraid that he would have to transfer to the last reserve;

Due to the pressure on the frontal battlefield, the 64th Army has dropped Chen Gongxia's 155th Division from Zhujiashan to Kongjiashan to garrison, preparing to break the corpses to support the battle of Kongjiamiao, and now only a brigade of the 159th Division and troops directly under the division headquarters are stationed in Zhujiashan; The Eighth Army also began to adjust the battlefield deployment, the 15th Division completely took over the Fenghuangzui defensive line, the 16th Regiment was all concentrated in Wujiawa and was ready to face the Japanese troops who broke through the defense line of Confucius Temple at any time, the 15th Regiment was strictly ordered to sit and prepare for the attack at Kongjiashan, and the 18th Regiment confronted the Japanese 113th Wing and 145th Wing across the river on the opposite side of the river, preventing the devils from crossing the Xiaohe and outflanking the Confucian Temple;

In order to ensure the stability of the Confucian Temple front, Xue Yue temporarily transferred the 19th Division of the 70th Army from Ma'anshan to Zhujiashan overnight as the last reserve; Ma'anshan only left He Feng's 16th Division of the 70th Army to defend the entire position; However, Xue Yue is not worried about the Ma'anshan defense line, behind Ma'anshan there are the 4th Army and the 18th Army of the elite descendants of the Central Army, even if the devil doubles his troops, he may not be able to break through the Ma'anshan defense line; The entire Confucian Temple war became the most concerned place in Xue Yue's heart......

After a company responsible for guarding the position at night arranged the night sentry, the two platoons of more than 80 brothers who rested first looked for the crater on the crooked trench by themselves, put the rifle at their feet, and half lay on the edge of the crater to pant for breath......
