The artillery bombardment of the 5th Division was intermittent and continued into the night, and the defensive line of the 4th Division, which was on the east side, was not tested much. The leaders of the division headquarters judged that it was obvious that the artillery of the Chinese army was deployed to the west. They are ready to attack from there.

The commander of the Masaro Baba Division, who had just held a meeting at the Yamashita Headquarters, had seen the firepower of the 5th Division, and he felt that at this time, it was not appropriate to be too ostentatious and to avoid irritating the frontal enemy. He asked the troops to reduce the movement of positions and not to launch any offensive against the enemy. From the reports sent from the front, it appears that only a small number of enemy movements were observed in front of the 4th Division, during the whole day, and that the enemy clearly had no intention of attacking from his defensive zone, otherwise he should first occupy some commanding heights directly opposite the defensive line, but the enemy did not act in this regard. The smoke from the kitchen in the rear of the enemy also revealed that the enemy in front of him did not have many troops, which was about one division, and the number was determined to be the 205th Division.

This is in line with the scale of the firepower that falls on your own position. No matter how powerful Chu Tingchang is, it is impossible to maintain the same powerful firepower in every area, and if they mobilize artillery to their side, at least 48 hours later, they must first build roads with sappers.

When the 6th Division of Sekigahara suffered defeat on the Burma-Thai border, the horse farm was at the headquarters, and he knew that Chu Tingchang's set of mysteries and falsehoods that the attack would inevitably have a priority, and fortunately, the 4th Division was not on its main offensive route at present.

As night fell, the attack of the artillery units of the 205th Division continued, and the division had only 75 artillery and 60 artillery shells running away, without heavy firepower. The Japanese army observed and judged the enemy situation during the day, and there were almost no mistakes, and Chu Tingchang only deployed a light division here that was not too strong. But during the night, the 200 Division quietly entered positions and advanced towards the enemy-controlled hills. This attack required a very high covert engagement of the enemy, and it was necessary to sneak close to the enemy's main positions.

Of course, the enemy is firing flares all the time, and it is still difficult to get closer to the top of the mountain at a distance of 100 meters at a time. So it was necessary to be a very experienced unit, with repeated cover from artillery, in order to accomplish such a task.

The two main battalions were commanded by Xu Chong and Ma Qiang, and the troops advanced according to the observed route, while Lu Qingshan acted alone, responsible for observation and overall command.

Before it was completely dark, the troops were carefully camouflaged. The 200th Division was a reorganized unit based on veterans who fled all the way to India from northern Burma, and was Chu Tingchang's most experienced jungle warfare unit. During the day, Chu Tingchang did not launch an artillery bombardment here, because he was worried that the Japanese counterattack would destroy some of the jungle vegetation in the starting position and hinder the first step of action.

The troops set out and advanced towards the enemy-controlled hills, and this attack did not have the usual way of capturing the secondary heights on the flanks of the main highlands, which would have easily revealed their intentions.

The troops moved to the starting position at the foot of the mountain. The shooting of the 105 running group began. Hit directly to the position of the enemy on the top of the hill. The shelling was fierce and short, designed to get the enemy out of position and into the trenches.

Sure enough, the drone observed that most of the enemy troops quickly retreated to the inclined position tunnel, and a small part escaped through the surface position tunnel, and he estimated that there might be a hidden bunker or something on the front of the hilltop.

Lu Qingshan gave Xu Chong and Ma Qiang instructions to act. He coordinated the entire operation in the rear alone, relying on the drone's thermal imager's field of view, he could observe the movements of a small number of enemy forces on the position, and almost no one could escape the eyes of the thermal imager. But from the bottom of the hill to the front of the position, it is impossible to act secretly, it is impossible to do it overnight, it is necessary to cover the approach of the troops by several shellings. It was through this process that he observed the speed of the Japanese army's reaction.

The troops climbed slowly upwards, and some steep sections had to be used hand and foot. It must be said that the Japanese are very good at using the terrain to choose defenses. The 6th Division took the initiative to shrink the defensive line, abandoning some of the high ground, but retaining the most dangerous parts. The mountain terrain here is very difficult to climb with a stick during the day, not to mention carrying a heavy weapon at night. If the offensive is launched in the usual way, the losses will certainly be very large.

The shelling ended. Lu Qingshan did not immediately stop the troops, but observed the speed at which the Japanese troops came out of the tunnel. He noted that the enemy quickly emerged from the six main tunnels, but there were not many of them, and it was clear that the enemy was not prepared to deploy too many men and horses in the main position. He gave Ma Qiang and Xu Chong a signal. The walkie-talkie was deployed to the 200 division at the platoon level, and the order was carried out quickly, and all the people of the two battalions lay on the ground.

The Japanese also wondered why the artillery fire suddenly intensified, and they were also worried about the enemy's night attack. So the two squadrons of Japanese troops immediately fired flares after re-entering the position, but the 200th Division was still far away from them, so nothing was found.

The action of firing flares immediately provoked a second round of heavy shelling, and the Japanese were forced to move the tunnel again. Here, Lu Qingshan issued an order, asking 1,000 attacking soldiers to quickly move up.

After the shelling stopped, the enemy seemed a little hesitant to resume their positions again, and Lu Qingshan observed that they were a beat slower than the last operation. The enemy entered the position again and did not rush to fire flares, because they really did not see the possibility of the Chinese troops coming up on a large scale, and what they were worried about was actually only a small group of reconnaissance troops taking advantage of the artillery fire to come up to reconnoitre. The enemy hesitated for a moment, still feeling unsafe, so he fired two more flares. Almost immediately, a barrage of artillery fire was incurred.

Lu Qingshan just wanted the Japanese to form some kind of conditioned reflex, so that they knew what would happen when they fired flares, which was similar to training dogs. The 4th Division is a difficult unit, and unlike those who like to fight to the death, he is very good at learning and adapting, and the best way to deal with such a clever enemy is to take him to the ditch.

Sure enough, the third return of the enemy was not only slower, but also did not fire flares for a long time. They also found a cannonball that looked like a madman on the other side, and had some connection to the flare. So I just shone a flashlight downward, and of course I didn't find anything.

The stalemate lasted an hour. The shelling fell again to the top of the hill, and the Japanese troops withdrew in order. According to the observation of the drone's field of vision, in the entire three shells, 1,500 shells were fired, and no more than 60 enemies were eliminated. It must be said that the enemy is shrewd and cunning, and they are maintaining an effective defense at the lowest cost, but this time, they will have to suffer.

This time, it was 155 mm heavy artillery that joined the attack, and the shells fell all the way to the anti-slope, chasing the Japanese army into the tunnel.

The fighters of the 200th Division, who were still 150 meters from the main position, no longer hiding, began the last charge, this time they were going to seize the commanding heights in front of the Japanese and then crush the enemy below. But on this side of their attack, there are no roads, but barbed wire. Probably in front of the trench, there were also bunkers and *. However, there are well-established roads on the slopes of the enemy's rear, so the attack must not be dragged through mud and water.

The artillery fire did not last long at the top of the hill before extending towards the enemy's slope in order to be able to blow up the entrance to its passage, which of course depended on some luck. Underground facilities often have a lot of access and are reinforced.

The enemy hiding in the mountains also wondered how the enemy's firepower could beat him here. This shows that the enemy's artillery fire should be deployed at the front line, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a curved trajectory.

Chu Tingchang's 155 heavy artillery was indeed on standby at the front, and after attacking the 5th Division, these heavy artillery pieces were transported to the preset positions here non-stop, and the actions of the sappers to build roads and strengthen bridges were carried out at night, and the enemy did not observe them. Once the battle drags on into daylight and the hill cannot be reached, these heavy fires may be observed by the enemy who has reoccupied the summit and will be destroyed by artillery fire.

The attack of the troops was very difficult, although there were many dangers, and they were all seen through the telescope under the mountain during the day, but when they actually attacked, they found that even if there was no enemy on the top of the mountain, it was not so easy to go up. Let's say there is a machine gun on the hill, which can almost stop the entire attack of a thousand people. With both hands and feet, the soldiers who went up the mountain could not raise their heads and fight back. And the last leg before approaching the position, completely unobstructed, as long as there is a flare to cooperate, the attacker and the target are almost the same.

The machine gun rang out, and the bunker near the top of the hill finally discovered the approaching enemy situation with the help of the fire of the shell explosion, and began to strafe. The troop offensive immediately stopped.

A squad leader approached from the flank, and at a reluctant angle, attacked the side of the bunker with Bazooka. The recoil of the bazooka made the squad leader unsteady on his feet and rolled down the mountain.

*Shoot into the dirt near the bunker and blast this hidden machine gun bunker open. Several soldiers used *, completely destroying it. But the few * that rolled down also injured a lot of their own people.

The Japanese troops in the tunnel behind the mountain heard the gunfire and realized that something was wrong, and no matter how hard the artillery was outside, they had to go out. Lu Qingshan could see that the Japanese army was like headless flies, coming out from behind the mountain. He ordered the last firepower to be used to block the enemy.

Eight 203-mm guns, which had been in concealment, began to fire. They are left at the last moment, and the enemy is deterred from retaking the hill by fire.

Before the fleeing enemy had time to disperse, a dense barrage of shells fell on their heads. Among them, there are many big guys like 155 and 203. For a time, the enemy's flesh and blood were blown up behind the mountain, and even if the enemy's tunnel was only about 20 meters away from the top of the mountain, it was impossible to go up for a while. The Japanese army was completely blocked by the fire falling from the sky.

In the end, dozens of Japanese troops broke through the artillery blockade and rushed to the top of the mountain, and they found that the artillery fire of the Chinese army did not cover the top of the mountain, which obviously did not bode well, and only indicated that the enemy infantry was almost there. Without waiting for them to fire flares, the flares of the Chinese army fell first. In a blinding white light, 40 Japanese troops encountered 150 officers and men of the 200th Division who had already occupied the mountain. The battle lasted a minute and a half, and the Japanese army was completely annihilated.

Xu Chong ordered the second echelon to hurry up, lest the enemy counterattack, and the upper echelons were short of manpower and were driven down again. He ordered the troops to bring *. It is expected that the enemy near the top of the mountain will not be honest and will use the tunnel to sneak attack, and they must be suppressed. But in reality, the enemy hiding behind the mountain could not get out at all. Their tunnel exits were only reinforced with wooden piles, and most of them had been collapsed by 203 heavy guns.
