Feng Lisan sent several groups of demolition teams to the first battalion to blow up the four heavy machine gun fire points with explosives and powder packs, but because the Japanese firepower was extremely fierce and the road ahead was tightly blocked, several groups of soldiers fell on the road ahead.

Just when Feng Lisan couldn't help but send a blasting team up, the regiment commander Li Chunshan had already seen the situation here, and sent a guard company beside him to carry two 40 bazookas to reinforce him. The arrival of these two 40 bazookas was like a charcoal in the snow. The fighters of the bazooka group looked at each other in a hurry, and fired a rocket from each of the two heavy machine gun fire points*.

Two explosions rang out, and in the smoke of gunfire, the two heavy machine gun fire points were suddenly muted. The bazooka group did the same, destroying two other heavy machine gun fire points. As soon as the Japanese heavy machine guns were silent, the officers and men of the battalion, which had been suppressed for a long time, jumped up and launched a charge against the Japanese positions with shouts. Soon the soldiers rushed to the Japanese positions and quickly cleared the remaining enemy from the positions.

Although the bombardment of heavy artillery caused certain losses to the Japanese army, it was far from the point of breaking the muscles and bones, but the mountainside position was lost so quickly, and an infantry squadron and a heavy machine gun squad were also wiped out, which made the Japanese captain in command very angry. The captain used more than a dozen concealed artillery guns to bombard the lost position, and then sent an infantry squadron to launch a counterattack on the lost position under the cover of mortars.

As soon as the officers and men of the first battalion occupied the position, the Japanese shells flew over, and the soldiers hurriedly hid on the spot, and at this time the Japanese attack began. The Japanese rushed down from the top to the bottom at a very fast speed, and the officers and men of the first battalion counterattacked the Japanese troops who rushed over in the artillery fire, but the Japanese rushed too fast, and after some people fell, more than 100 soldiers still rushed to the position.

In the narrow trench, a hand-to-hand combat began, and the Japanese army's Type 38 rifles did not have an advantage in the trenches, but on the contrary, the officers and men of the first battalion fought more flexibly, with such sharp weapons as rushing guns, sharp guns, and barge guns, and in addition, whether fighting with bayonets or picking large blades, the officers and men of the first battalion had the upper hand, and this hand-to-hand combat ended in more than 20 minutes.

More than 100 Japanese soldiers rushed up were all killed, and the first battalion also suffered dozens of casualties. Just when Feng Lisan had just finished cleaning up the battlefield and sorting out his team, the second battalion came up with reinforcements. Feng Lishan left a platoon to guard the position and take care of the wounded together with the medical guards, and the remaining more than 100 soldiers rushed out of the position with the officers and soldiers of the second battalion without resting and continued to attack on the high ground.

The captain of the Japanese army saw a squadron of infantry rushing up, and the whole army was wiped out without making any waves, and he was frightened before he realized that the Chinese army that dared to attack him on his own initiative was afraid that it was not a fuel-efficient lamp. I still have three infantry squadrons and an artillery squadron in my hands, and it is impossible to counterattack, and I am afraid that there will be insufficient troops to hold the heights of Kuma Mountain.

After taking the Japanese position on the mountainside, the Japanese army still had two positions on the Kuma Mountain Heights, and now the second battalion was facing the second position under the hilltop position. Attacking from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill, the closer you get to the top of the hill, the more difficult it will be, firstly, because the front of the position will become narrower and narrower, and the fire of the defenders will be more concentrated. Coupled with the steeper slope, it is more strenuous to charge upwards.

This is also the case with Kuma Mountain, but fortunately, there are still many objects that can be used for concealment on the slopes, and trees and rocks are temporary shelters for warriors. The distance between the mountainside position and the second line is between three or four hundred meters, and there is only one sheep intestine trail to communicate. This sheep intestine trail has long been blocked by crossfire in several Japanese bunkers, and it is impossible to launch an attack through this sheep intestine trail.

In this terrain, the effect of artillery bombardment was very limited, and Li Chunshan did not ask for artillery support again, but asked the third battalion to carry mortars and the last two rocket launchers to support. Zhou Yuchun, the commander of the second battalion, tried to have the bazooka group shoot a * at the bunker blocking the road, but the Japanese bunker was very strong, and the armor-piercing * hit it, but it only blew a hole in the fort wall, but did not penetrate the fort wall.

The 568th Regiment * is very limited, and it has to be used at a critical time, Zhou Yuchun saw that the effect was not good, so he no longer used * to attack, but discussed it with the commander of the first battalion, Feng Lisan. Don't look at the 90th Army's operations against the Japanese army, most of them were defensive battles, but they did not train for various attacks during training. Mountain attacks are also a regular training sport.

The two battalion commanders discussed it and decided to let the fighters disperse in battle groups and attack the Japanese positions from all directions. As soon as the order was given, the soldiers skillfully formed battle groups. This combat group is basically based on a squad, and the squad leader naturally becomes the team leader. One squad had one light machine gun, four rush and front guns, two barge guns, and six semi-automatic rifles. Both flexibility and firepower can meet the needs.

These battle groups coordinated with each other, supported each other, and slowly infiltrated the Japanese positions using various formations that could cover themselves. The Japanese troops on the position were a little panicked, there were enemies everywhere in front of them, and they would be attacked everywhere, although they had two squadrons of troops, they felt that they were not enough. In particular, the attacking Chinese soldiers avoided the blocking and firing of the machine gun fire points, and without the support of the machine gun fire points, the firepower of the 38 rifles in the hands of the soldiers in the trenches was thin.

On the other hand, although the number of attacking Chinese troops was small, the firepower was very fierce, not only machine guns but also automatic weapons such as rushing and front guns, which were very difficult to block. Half an hour later, these battle groups were forced within a hundred meters of the Japanese position. However, at this distance, because the front of the Japanese position narrowed, the attacking battle groups had to move closer to each other, and the formation was also dense.

The Japanese finally seized the opportunity, and not only did the blocking fire at various machine gun fire points have targets, but more than a dozen mortars on the top of the hill also have targets. The casualties of the 1st and 2nd Battalions continued to increase due to machine-gun strafing and artillery shelling, and the fighters could only temporarily hide and stop attacking. Feng Lisan and Zhou Yuchun didn't have anything to think of, so they could only stabilize their positions first.

At this moment, Li Mingshan, the commander of the third battalion who came up, saw that the first and second battalions were suppressed, and called Liu Jie, the commander of the heavy firepower company, and asked: "Liu Jie, can you judge the location of the Japanese mortar position, and then use the mortars we brought up to kill them?" Liu Jie stared at the direction where the Japanese mortars were flying, calculated and replied: "Battalion commander, I can judge that all the Japanese mortars are not far from ten, and I am not sure that I want to destroy all the Japanese mortars, but I am still sure that some of them will be destroyed." ”

Li Mingshan said excitedly: "It's okay to knock out some of them, always reduce the pressure on the first and second battalions, I will hand over all the mortars to you to command, and strive to give little Japan a good taste." Liu Jie answered, turned around and went to the mortar. This time, the number of mortars carried by the three battalions was not large, only 12, but these 12 mortars were all 100-caliber heavy mortars, and the power was still not small.

Liu Jie commanded the artillery to set up twelve mortars, calculated the position of the Japanese mortar position again, and then instructed the artillery to aim at the target according to the direction he calculated. Seeing that the twelve mortars were ready, Liu Jie shouted: "Three rapid fires, release!" A series of thirty-six* roared towards the top of the mountain in tens of seconds, and then a series of explosions sounded, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke rose from the top of the mountain in the distance.

After the shell exploded, the Japanese mortars fell silent, and Li Mingshan shouted: "Fight beautifully!" and then asked Liu Jie to command the artillery to fire at the Japanese positions to cover the charge of the first and second battalions. The Japanese troops on the position could not even lift their heads under mortar and heavy machine gun fire, and many machine gun fire points were also taken care of by the shells.

* Although the bunker of the Japanese army could not be blown up, the smoke from the close-range explosion seriously affected the sight of the military machine gunners, and the blind machine guns did not pose a great threat to the attacking soldiers, and the soldiers of the first and second battalions rushed out of their hiding places one after another, rushing to the Japanese position. When the mortar bombardment stopped, the attacking fighters were only thirty meters from the Japanese position.

At this time, the soldiers took out the grenades and bullets on their bodies and threw them at the Japanese position, and in the explosion of grenades and bullets, the soldiers rushed to the Japanese position. There were only a number of corpses of Japanese soldiers on the position, and the rest fled to the top of the mountain. Even several heavy machine guns in the bunker were taken. After the third battalion also came up, the three battalions of the 568th Regiment on this position of the Japanese army arrived, and the number of them exceeded 1,000.

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions felt tired after successively conquering the second position of the Japanese army, but when they thought that the Japanese army only had one hilltop position, as long as they captured this position again, the heights of Kuma Mountain would be completely occupied by themselves, and the soldiers came back to their strength. However, Li Mingshan proposed that the third battalion should be the main attacker in the rear attack, and the first and second battalions would take a break and cover the third battalion with artillery artillery.

Feng Lisan and Zhou Yuchun did not object when they heard this, the first battalion captured the mountainside position, and the second position was the main attack of the second battalion. Li Mingshan also understood that the two battalion commanders would not disagree, so he mentioned it. Now Li Mingshan commanded the three battalions of soldiers to rush out of the position first.

This second line of positions is only less than 300 meters away from the hilltop position, and from here, not only is the terrain steeper, but the trees are also sparse, and from here you can clearly see the movement of the Japanese troops on the hilltop position. The Japanese troops on the hilltop position could clearly see the movements of the attacking soldiers, which made the attack of the third battalion more difficult.
