The night was hazy, and it was pitch black all around, but there were constantly fires here in Fengming Mountain, and the fierce battle was still continuing.

Qin Yashang, the commander of the independent mixed Fifth Brigade directly under the North China Front Command, watched the battle with a telescope, his face turned iron blue, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.

The 15th and 16th Independent Infantry Brigades had launched seven or eight group charges, but they had not taken Fengming Mountain for a long time.

Qin Yashang's old face turned red, anger appeared in his eyes, and the independent regiment held its position, which was tantamount to slapping him hard.

Thinking of the battle before twelve o'clock that he had said before, Qin Yashang felt that his cheeks were hot, and he gave the order again.

The independent 19th Brigade, which had been serving as a reserve, was thrown into battle by Qin Yashang, and the Japanese army invested more than 3,000 troops from three independent brigades to storm Fengming Mountain.

The officers and men of the Independent Regiment were holding their positions, and even though there were constant casualties around them, none of them fled from their positions.

Qin Xianliang and other company commanders played a key role at this time, even though their troops suffered heavy casualties, they always stuck to their positions.

The fear of death had long been forgotten by them, and all they wanted was to kill as many devil soldiers as possible.

Sun Weiguo kept shooting with a rifle, and a famous ghost soldier was shot by him.

Yang Tiezhu and other snipers are even more powerful, and they have to kill a ghost soldier with every bullet.

It was only a matter of time before the Japanese army broke through the Fengming Mountain position, but they would pay a heavy price.

The four infantry guns of the artillery company had already been destroyed by the Japanese mountain artillery, and Li Jiaxin and other artillery officers all participated in the battle with rifles.

At the current position of the battle, the troops of the independent regiment have almost been completely disabled, and the strategy of the Japanese army to completely annihilate the independent regiment is about to be realized.

"Boom, boom." Explosions began to come from the west side of Fengming Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a fierce sound of gunfire from the west side of Fengming Mountain, and in these fierce gunshots, the sound of rushing and killing could be faintly heard.

"It's reinforcements, it's reinforcements that have arrived, everyone holds their positions." Sun Weiguo shouted loudly.

Whether reinforcements arrived or not, Sun Weiguo wanted to use this to boost the morale of the troops.

When the officers and soldiers heard Sun Weiguo's shout, they shot harder, and the charging devil soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

At the foot of Fengming Mountain, on the position where Qin Yashang watched the battle.

Hearing the sound of gunfire behind him, Qin Yashang's face became solemn.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Beilian Village was attacked by an unidentified Chinese army, the brigade headquarters was attacked by a surprise attack, the chief of staff has been killed, at present, this Chinese army is marching towards Xishan Village, their weapons and equipment are not excellent, but their combat effectiveness is very strong, at present, the 17th and 18th Independent Brigades are resting, with their strength, I am afraid it is difficult to resist the attack of this Chinese army."

A Japanese captain hurriedly ran in front of Qin Yashang, and he reported in a solemn tone, his face full of worry.

The brigade headquarters of the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army is set up in Beilian Village, two kilometers away from Fengming Mountain, and at present, only one infantry squadron serves as a guard unit.

The defense here is very empty, Qin Yashang felt that Shouyang County was a Japanese-occupied area, and it was safe here, but he didn't expect that he would be raided here.

Entering Shouyang County to meet Sun Weiguo's independent regiment were the 120th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 715th Division and the 716th Regiment.

The 120th Division was reorganized from the Second Front Army, the three main forces of the Red Army, and the two regiments of the 358th Brigade were reorganized from the Second Army Corps, which was also the commander of the Second Front Army.

After the 716th Regiment received the order, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers quickly detoured to the rear of the Japanese army under the leadership of Commander Song.

Commander Song planned to fight behind the Japanese army and attract the main force of the Japanese army, but he did not expect to accidentally end the brigade headquarters of the Japanese army.

If Qin Yashang hadn't temporarily decided to go to the front line to supervise the battle in person, I'm afraid he, the lieutenant general brigade commander, would have been killed.

After the Japanese brigade headquarters was eliminated in Beilian Village, the main force of the 716th Regiment quickly marched towards Xishan Village, because they reconnoitred and learned that there were Japanese wounded here.

Xishan Village was about to be attacked by the troops of the 716th Regiment, and there were only two options in front of Qin Yashang's eyes.

The first choice is to immediately give up the attack on Fengming Mountain, and the main force of the brigade will quickly reinforce Xishan Village, but if he does so, it means that the independent regiment troops will break through, and he has a second choice, that is, ignore the Japanese army in Xishan Village, and the main force of the brigade will continue to storm Fengming Mountain, but if he makes such a choice, it means that the two independent brigades in Xishan Village will be completely annihilated.

The two independent brigades resting in Xishan Village were almost crippled by the independent regiment, and they wanted to withstand the attack of the 716th regiment, which was obviously difficult.

Qin Yashang's brows furrowed tightly, and for a while he didn't know what choice he should make.

The three independent brigades of the Japanese army were still storming Fengming Mountain, but the independent regiment troops on the mountain were holding their positions and never retreated.

The casualties on both sides were very heavy, and it was a blink of an eye for the Japanese army to wipe out the independent regiment.

But seeing his two independent brigades being wiped out, Qin Yashang couldn't do it.

He looked towards Feng Mingshan, with a solemn expression on his face, and finally he gave the order.

The 15th and 16th Independent Brigades, which attacked Fengming Mountain, immediately reinforced Xishan Village, and the 19th Independent Brigade, which had recently been engaged in the battle, continued to attack.

Two infantry brigades were sent to reinforce Xishan Village, but the 19th Independent Brigade of the Japanese army Liu Xunai was a fully staffed infantry brigade, with more than 1,000 people.

However, after all, the Japanese troops were transferred from the two infantry brigades, and the pressure on the independent regiment was instantly reduced a lot.

"Deputy regiment commander, there are only more than 90 people in the army who can fight, and the Japanese troops have decreased a lot, let's cover you to break out."

The first battalion commander Sun Ziyuan and the second battalion commander Yin Jin came to Sun Weiguo, and they looked at Sun Weiguo with solemn eyes.

"It should be the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army who are coming, otherwise it is impossible for the Japanese troops to leave, let the brothers hold on for a while, and I will take everyone to break out together. If you two are here, I'll kill myself to save my personality. Sun Wei said solemnly in Chinese.

Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Sun Ziyuan and Yin Jin couldn't help but glance at each other, but they didn't dare to come here.

The two infantry battalions of the Japanese army immediately left Fengming Mountain, and the 19th Independent Brigade attacked vigorously under the cover of artillery.

At half past three in the morning, the 19th Independent Brigade attacking Fengming Mountain caught fire behind them, and hundreds of troops of the Eighth Route Army appeared behind them.

At the same time, Qin Yashang's position to watch the battle was also attacked by hundreds of troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the command system of the Japanese army became chaotic for a while.
