Xiao Liuzi and his entourage, who retreated with Tan Zhenbin on their backs, were running away in embarrassment, more than a dozen people changed to carry Tan Zhenbin on their backs, and the rest of the people were running away with their heads in their feet, and the pursuing troops of the devil soldiers were behind, chasing after them with their butts, and they had to run if they wanted to live.

"Who? Hold it! The fleeing group was stopped by the roar of the people in front, and the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun rang out,

"We are from the engineer battalion of the 3rd Division, the position has been occupied by the Japanese, our battalion commander is unconscious, and there are only so many people left in the battalion. What part of you are? Xiao Liuzi hurriedly shouted,

"We are from the 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment, and we have been ordered to reinforce you." A platoon of sharp soldiers came out of the forest in front of them,

"What's the situation? Why was the position lost in two hours, and there were only a dozen of you left? The platoon commander who took the lead asked,

"There are too many devils, there is enough of a brigade, and they directly launched a wave attack!" Although Xiao Liuzi didn't know what a wave attack was, the words he heard from the battalion commander were to grab it and show it.

"Ahh So many devils? The position is still lost? Then our battalion will be in vain! A few brothers to help! Come with me! The platoon commander beckoned a few brothers, got a stretcher, and ran behind Tan Zhenbin with him.

"Battalion commander, that's how it is; How? Camp Commander Tan hasn't woken up yet! The platoon commander asked the battalion commander,

"Let's go, go back to the incense burner mountain first. It's not far off anyway! The battalion commander led the team back to the incense burner,

On the incense burner, the regimental headquarters of the 13th Regiment, Wang Zhaohua frowned and listened to the report of the first battalion commander, knowing that the first battalion commander had no choice, there was no artillery cover, and it was daytime, and a battalion was sent to death to capture the position occupied by a brigade of the Japanese army, Wang Zhaohua shouted directly,

"Signal soldier, give me the division headquarters!"

"Commander, the phone is on!" The Signal Soldier shouted,

"Hello, I'm Wang Zhaohua, I'm looking for the teacher!" Wang Zhaohua shouted,

"Wang Zhaohua, haven't your reinforcements been sent out yet?" Zhao Xitian couldn't suppress the fire, and roared directly,

"Division commander, the reinforced battalion met more than ten remnants of Battalion Commander Tan Zhenbin on the way, the position has been occupied by devils, there is enough strength of a brigade, not to mention my battalion, even if our thirteenth regiment is all pressed up, we may not be able to take the position!" Wang Zhaohua said,

"Well, got it; Gather troops and wait for orders! Zhao Xitian put down the phone,

"Commander of the first battalion, inform the whole regiment to assemble and be ready to go at any time!" Wang Zhaohua ordered,

"Ahh Commander, then we don't guard the incense burner mountain? Do you want to inform the artillery battalion of the 16th Regiment, they are still on the mountain? The commander of the first battalion asked,

"Don't use it for the time being, let's see what orders the division headquarters has!" Wang Zhaohua said,

At the headquarters of the Eighth Army, the communications corpsman took a telegram and reported,

"Commander, telegram from the 3rd Division!"

"At 12 noon on July 25, in the left rear position of Yaque Mountain, although the engineer battalion of the 3rd Division of the defending army stubbornly resisted under the command of the battalion commander Tan Zhenbin, it suffered heavy losses and did not retreat. Now how the 3rd Division will defend the front line of Yaque Mountain, please ask the army commander for instructions! ”

After reading the telegram, Li Yutang climbed on the map and saw the captured position, Xianglu Mountain, Li Yutang pointed heavily,

"Call back, order the 13th Regiment of the 3rd Division stationed at Xianglu Mountain to counterattack the Japanese and take the position on the left rear flank; Ensure the safety of the rear roads of our Eighth Army! The heavy artillery units of our group army will shell the Japanese positions on time at one o'clock in the afternoon, and there is a Japanese bombardment hovering over Jiujiang, so the shelling time will not be very long, and I hope that the 13th Regiment will seize the fighters! ”

"Division commander, the military headquarters calls back!" The communication soldiers of the third division headquarters did not dare to slack off with the telegram, and immediately handed it over to Zhao Xitian.

"Pick me up the Thirteenth Regiment!" Zhao Xitian said after reading the telegram,

"I'm Wang Zhaohua!" As soon as Wang Zhaohua heard the phone ringing, he immediately grabbed the receiver;

"The military headquarters ordered the divisions and regiments to launch a counterattack, and the heavy artillery of the group army will shell the Japanese positions on time at one point, so that your troops can seize the opportunity to recapture the positions in one fell swoop and hold on!" Zhao Xitian said on the phone,

"Yes, division commander, I'll set off with the thirteenth regiment, what should I do if it's just the position of Xianglu Mountain?" Wang Zhaohua asked,

"You don't care, I will immediately order the Eighteenth Regiment to send a battalion to defend the Incense Burner Mountain." Zhao Xitian said,

"Yes, Commander!" Wang Zhaohua hurriedly put down the phone,

"Grab the radio and go with me!" Wang Zhaohua said to the signal soldiers at the regimental headquarters,

The communications corps of the regimental headquarters immediately began to disassemble the radio station and pack the necessary items, Wang Zhaohua hurriedly walked out of the headquarters and came to the foot of the incense burner mountain, the 13th regiment had been assembled,

"Brethren, the heavy artillery of a little army group will shell the position on the left rear that has just been lost, and the division headquarters orders us to take the position after the shelling; Now I command: the first battalion shall immediately proceed with me, and the second battalion shall follow; The third battalion set off together with the regimental headquarters' logistics, baggage, and communications squads, so be sure to keep up! Walk! Wang Zhaohua roared,

There is a mountain road of about 3 kilometers from the incense burner hill to the position of the engineer battalion, and the first battalion must reach the front line of the attack in half an hour, and the road must be hurried......

"Hurry up, keep up!" The commander of the first battalion stopped from time to time to urge the troops who could not keep up the speed, and Wang Zhaohua had already taken the lead in running ahead......

"Brethren, you can't let the regimental commander attack alone! If you have an egg in your crotch, run the for me! Wang Zhaohua looked at the team and scolded directly......

It's a man who is afraid of being told that he has no eggs, and the team, inspired by this sentence, has increased their speed, and it is obvious that they can keep up with the pace of the regiment leader......

At 1 p.m., the brothers of the 1st battalion arrived with great difficulty at the place where they met the brothers of the engineer battalion in the afternoon, and the distance was less than 1 kilometer, hoping that they would be in time.

"Quick, run, go 200 meters and rest!" Wang Zhaohua is cheering everyone up......

"Chirp!" The sound of heavy artillery shells whistling through the sky,

"Boom!" The heavy artillery of the 29th Regiment began to bombard the positions on time to provide artillery support for the attack of the 13th Regiment......

The roar of the heavy artillery exploded like rolling spring thunder across the hill, and the air torn by the shells let out a piercing whistling.

"Boom, boom, boom......" It is said that the heavy artillery units of the national army are bombing their own positions, and there are fixed coordinates, and the artillery skills are still very accurate......

Xiaoshan Liang, the devil's heavy machine gun was directly blown into parts and floated in the sky, Xiaoshan Liang was completely flipped over under the bombardment of the heavy artillery, and the crater several meters square was covered with bloody and charred black soil.

"Only that man heavy artillery, retreat!" The devil captain shouted and ran down the mountain......

The Japanese devils are still human, knowing that heavy artillery can't resist with willpower, and the embarrassed Japanese army equipment is gone, so they run directly down the mountain, and if they run slowly, they directly hold their heads with their hands and roll down the mountain......

Unlike the shelling of the Japanese army's 75mm mountain artillery, the heavy artillery shells, no matter what cover you have, are devastating and rotten, the defense line built by the Japanese army is like paper paste, which is torn to pieces in an instant, and the smoke and dust cover the sky, as if it is dark.

Wang Zhaohua, who was squatting on the ground 800 meters away, held a telescope and looked at the fragments of Japanese corpses and gun parts flying in the sky, laughing,

"Haha, little devil, you also have today! Let you bombard me! It's time for the end of it! ”

"First battalion commander, let the brothers prepare, after the shelling is over, let's go up the mountain to build a position, I guess there is nothing left on the mountain!" Wang Zhaohua said,

"Commander, don't worry, you are guaranteed to rush up the mountain as fast as possible!" The commander of the first battalion said,

"Yay! Why didn't it blow up? How many shots have you made? Is there any ten rounds? Wang Zhaohua muttered,

"Rush me!" Seeing that the shelling had stopped, the commander of the first battalion did not care about the regiment commander who was in a daze, and rushed towards the mountain with a wave of his hand......
