At the same time that the 13th Regiment launched an attack on the Kimura Brigade of the Hatian Detachment, the 106th Division in the north also began to advance towards Xianglu Mountain, in a vain attempt to occupy Yaque Mountain in one fell swoop, cut off the rear route of the Eighth Army, outflank the 27th Army from the rear, and annihilate the main force of the Nationalist Army in this area.

At 1 p.m. on July 25, the 111th Brigade learned that the Botian Detachment had captured the position on the left rear side of Yaque Mountain, and as long as the 106th Division could capture the position of the Zhina Army on Xianglu Mountain, the Eighth Army would fall into the encirclement of the Botian Detachment and the 106th Division......

"Brigade commander, the Botian detachment called, the people of China have drawn a regiment of troops from nearby to counterattack the position on the left rear side of Yaque Mountain, and now the battle is fierce, I am afraid that the Botian detachment will not be able to reach Yaque Mountain in a short time to attack." The brigade staff officer took the telegram from the communications corpsman and said,

"Hehe, don't panic, there are at most two divisions of the Chinese Army in the Yaque Mountain area, and my 111 Brigade can completely deal with it, order the troops, speed up, we must launch an attack on Xianglu Mountain at two o'clock, and I will surround Yaque Mountain on all sides tonight." The brigade commander, Major General Shan Di Gan, ordered,

"Hay!" The devil staff began to give orders loudly,

"The 147th Wing increased the pace of the march, and the brigade commander ordered that the attack must be launched before two o'clock!"

"Hay!" The commander of the 147th Wing, Yoshio Sonoda, immediately ordered his subordinates to speed up,

"The mountain artillery squadron attached to the wing will follow the infantry forward, and the field artillery wing of the brigade will build a position next to the road to support us, warriors, show your bravery with your combat exploits! My bayonet will make the people tremble! ”

The devil's tactics have always been simple and clear, that is, the mountain artillery bombarded the infantry charge, if the official business was not destroyed by the mountain artillery, then the heavy artillery bombardment or aircraft bombardment, and then the infantry charged; If you can't attack it, then bomb and bomb the infantry again, and then charge, China's defense industry is backward, there are basically no heavy weapons, a pitiful little heavy artillery is still purchased from abroad, and the shells are even less pitiful, and it is basically impossible to launch a counterattack in the face of the Japanese army's shelling, so these few axes of the devil have captured half of China, and they are still very good;

The arrogant Devil's Mountain Artillery Squadron directly set up an artillery position less than two kilometers away from Xianglu Mountain, which was convenient for supporting the infantry nearby......

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, after the artillery position has been constructed, have you raised the artillery observation balloon to shell the position of the Chinese people?" The artillery squadron leader reported,

"Yo Si! Raise the observation balloon, wait for the 1st Brigade to arrive at the attack position, wait for the order to start shelling! Yoshio Sonoda ordered,

"Hay!" The commander of the devil's artillery squadron immediately ordered to start raising the artillery to observe the hot air balloon,

If you want to capture Xianglu Mountain, you must first attack the outer positions of the 18th Regiment, otherwise at the critical moment of the attack, the 18th Regiment will attack from the flank, and the Japanese devils who attack these attacks will be miserable......

"Regiment commander, a brigade of devils is pressing towards our forward position, and the devils have already set up an artillery position two kilometers behind them!" The sentry of the Eighteenth Regiment ran to Zhu Binqiu and reported,

"I'm Zhu Binqiu, I'm looking for the division commander!" Zhu Binqiu shook the phone and said,

"I'm Zhao Xitian," Zhao Xitian said on the phone,

"Division commander, a large battalion of devils pressed towards my position, accompanied by artillery and a large number of infantry. Request support! Zhu Binqiu yelled directly, he didn't want to lose his position and be scolded,

"Zhu Binqiu, let me tell you, there is no support, the 13th Regiment is attacking, the 15th Regiment is in Phoenix Mountain, and the 16th Regiment is the reserve force of the entire division. You have to hold the line! Zhao Xitian ordered,

"Division commander, there is no infantry support, so it's good to let the artillery battalion of the 16th Regiment give some artillery support! It would be better to be able to knock out the mountain artillery position of the devil! Zhu Binqiu pleaded,

"You contact He Jianye directly about this, I think he will give you artillery support when the time is right, but don't give you too much hope, after all, He Jianye's shells are so pointed, and they have to be used at a critical time! Do you understand? Zhao Xitian said with a deep groan,

"Master Xie, I understand." Zhu Binqiu put down the phone,

"First battalion commander, show me the devils on the opposite side, the devils are not allowed to fire if they do not enter 200 meters! Get ready to be shelled by devils! Zhu Binqiu ordered,

"Yes, Captain!" The commander of the first battalion immediately bent down and ran to the forefront of the position, with a telescope in his hand;

Zhu Binqiu looked out from the binoculars and found that the Japanese troops on the opposite side had begun to stop 800 meters away, and began to unload backpacks, excess ammunition and other things on the grass......

"Signal soldier, pick me up He Jianye of the 16th Regiment." Zhu Binqiu looked at a devil brigade that was slowly preparing for the attack, but there was continuous support from artillery fire on the opposite side, and his own battalion might not be able to withstand it, so he had to let He Jianye artillery support, or knock out the Japanese army's mountain artillery position;

"Commander, it's connected." The communications soldier handed over the phone,

"Commander He, I'm Zhu Binqiu of the Eighteenth Regiment." Zhu Binqiu picked up the phone and said,

"Oh, Commander Zhu, at this juncture, you don't have to worry about how to repel the attack of the Japanese devils, why did you call me?" He Jianye asked suspiciously,

"Commander He, brother, a battalion is facing an attack from a brigade of the 106th Devil Division! There is artillery in the back, and it may not be able to hold it! I can only ask my brother for help! Zhu Binqiu said,

"If you have anything to say, I won't say what you have; The brother who can support supports absolutely supports! He Jianye frowned and said, thinking that if you are looking for support, you should find the division commander! How did you find me? Do you want my artillery to support you?

"Brother, brother doesn't want much, can you give me dozens of artillery support? Or you can knock out the mountain artillery positions of the Japanese army on the opposite side! Zhu Binqiu said unceremoniously,

"Well, Commander Zhu, you know what the consequences will be once our artillery positions are exposed! Do you think that the 4 mountain artillery squadrons directly under the same brigade should pay such a price? He Jianye asked,

"Brother He, if you have any ideas, tell me quickly! Seeing that the Japanese devils are about to start shelling, the hot air balloons are all raised! "Zhu Binqiu is anxious,

"I don't have any ideas, wait a minute, I will let the artillery observers go to your various forward positions, my goal is to overshadow the mountain artillery wing of the Japanese 106th Division, otherwise it may not be realistic for our third division to hold Yaque Mountain, so Commander Zhu, you only have to work hard to hold the position yourself, when will the Japanese mountain artillery wing come up, when will I order the artillery to fire and directly end the mountain artillery wing on the opposite side!" Do you understand? He Jianye said,

"Brother thinks far! Understood, rest assured, I will protect your artillery observers when they come to me! I can't do that! Zhu Binqiu put down the phone after speaking;

"Brothers, let me go into the bomb hole, and leave only the observers! Prepare to die with the devil today! Zhu Binqiu roared,
