With Du Haifeng's order, heavily armed soldiers drilled out of several anti-artillery holes, and they followed behind Du Haifeng, bending down along the traffic trench, dodging the exploding shells, and rushing towards the trenches, sandbag bunkers, and bunkers at the same time. Du Haifeng also quickly rushed into a bunker.

Standing in front of the shooting hole in the bunker, Du Haifeng raised the telescope, in which a large number of Japanese troops were gathering, judging from the scale, there should be an infantry brigade. On the position where the infantry brigade assembled, the 92 infantry guns and mortars were lined up, and in front of the artillery was a heavy machine gun position composed of more than 10 heavy machine guns.

Du Haifeng muttered while observing: "***, there are a lot of people from Little Japan this time, and now I can beat these Little Japan." A squad leader beside him continued: "Battalion commander, it's time for me to speak with the heavy machine gun in my hand this time." Last time, there was no shot, and little Japan fled back. ”

Du Haifeng didn't reply and said: "What's the hurry, Tuanzuo said, put Little Japan closer and then fight." Just listen to my orders. The squad leader replied: "Yes, battalion commander, listen to your order and then open fire." "An infantry brigade of the Japanese army was also assembled at this time, but they attacked along the road, and they couldn't line up any offensive formation, so they could only pull a little distance from each other, and an infantry brigade pulled the old man on the road.

The Japanese soldiers who walked in front did not advance quickly, because there was a female wall in front of the position, and the Japanese soldiers could not see the defenders behind the wall clearly, so they had no shooting target. When the Japanese soldiers at the front had already crossed the bombed-out barricades and barbed wire, the Japanese troops at the back left their positions, and the whole team pulled out more than 200 meters.

With the experience of striking mines, the Japanese army did not dare to leave the road, and the road was full of bomb craters, and the Japanese soldiers walked one foot deeper and one foot shallow. Such a road surface would not be able to move quickly, let alone launch a charge. When the Japanese troops at the front were only less than 100 meters away from the women's wall, Du Haifeng's order to open fire was finally given, and countless bullets rushed at the advancing Japanese troops from the shooting holes of the women's wall on the position.

The Japanese soldiers in front of them fell one after another, and the Japanese soldiers who reacted a moment later began to return fire. Heavy machine guns and artillery in the distance, light machine guns and grenadiers in the distance, and for a time the women's walls and bunkers were full of sparks from bullets and shrapnel. After firing on Du Haifeng's position, Gao Guangshi's second battalion also opened fire on his position, and the two positions formed a crossfire network, and the Japanese troops on the road suffered more casualties.

In the face of the crossfire from the two positions, the Japanese troops did not care whether they were still on the road, and the soldiers left the road one after another and formed a skirmish line in order to confront the two positions. Just leaving the road that had been shelled, the mines planted on both sides of the road were useful, and the mines on both sides of the road were mainly anti-infantry jumping mines, and these mines were all tripping mines.

In the fierce firefight, how could the Japanese still notice the tripwire under their feet, and on this trip, there would be a jumping thunder flying into the air, and then an indiscriminate covering strike within 14 square meters. Under several blows, the attacking Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and an infantry squadron at the front was almost completely annihilated. However, they also paved the way for the Japanese troops behind them, and the Japanese troops attacking behind them no longer had to worry about mines.

In the battle, the Japanese heavy machine guns were not very useful, after all, the shooting hole was too small, and the possibility of a bullet passing through the shooting hole and hitting the target again was very small. But artillery still played a role. The shells of the Type 92 infantry cannon can also explode a piece on the female wall when it hits the female wall. The mortar was also adjusted at this time, and the shell flew over the female wall and exploded on the ground.

Most of the defenders behind the female wall were shooting from standing, in which case they were more likely to be hit by shrapnel from artillery shells. Seeing that the soldiers under his command continued to fall, Du Haifeng was also anxious, organized four heavy machine guns, and fired directly at the Japanese artillery position 500 meters away. However, after fighting for a while, Du Haifeng found that the location of the Japanese artillery position was very ghostly, behind a small hill. Hit with a heavy machine gun from your side, and the bullets will only fly over the heads of the artillerymen.

At this moment, the sound of artillery on the 386 Heights rang out, and the shells of the Japanese-style 75 mountain guns and 120 heavy mortars flew from the 386 Heights and flew directly into the Japanese artillery position, and in the sound of explosions, these 92 infantry guns and mortars used by the Japanese army to support the infantry brigade flew into the air together with the artillery on the position, and in just a few minutes, this artillery position ceased to exist.

Having eliminated the artillery positions, the artillery on the heights adjusted their muzzles and turned to heavy machine-gun positions and attacking infantry. This shelling caused confusion among the Japanese troops, and the wing commander Yago Sun Er hurriedly gave the order to retreat. By the time the Japanese infantry brigade withdrew, more than half of its soldiers had been lost.

When Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu, the commander of the division, heard the report, he exclaimed, "Nani?, the people still have artillery on the mountain?" Honma Masaharu hurriedly called the commander of the 27th Field Artillery Wing, Seiichi Murakami, to the headquarters. When Seiichi Murakami told Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma that because of the height of the mountain, it was impossible to directly detect the artillery positions of the Shina army, so he was not sure that he could destroy the artillery positions of the Shina people, Honma Masaharu was also silent.

If you don't want to destroy the artillery positions of the Shina army on the hill, it will be impossible to attack the positions on both sides of the lower road, and Honma Masaharu knows this very well. If you want to destroy the artillery position on the mountain, you can only send troops to attack the mountain, and judging from the last attack, it is not ordinarily difficult to capture the mountain. This incident gave Masaharu Honma a headache.

After thinking about it for a long time, Honma Masaharu felt that the only way to destroy the artillery position of the Shina army on the hill was through the bombing of aircraft. So Honma Masana immediately sent a telegram to Commander Okamura Ninji, requesting Okamura Ninji to send an aircraft to support. Commander Okamura did not shirk it, and immediately decided to send a flying team to support the 27th Division.

On the morning of the next day, a Japanese flying squadron of 24 bombers, under the cover of eight fighters, flew in the direction of Yuexi County. The peaks of the Dabie Mountains are continuous, and the vegetation is dense, and it is really difficult to distinguish which one from the air. After the Japanese planes flew to the 27th Division according to the guidance, they also saw Shangong Jianshan, but the mountains were full of trees, and there were no artillery positions to be found at all.

The two brigade commanders, Tang Longzi and Zhu Gangwei, were both experienced in combat, so how could anyone not know the might of the Japanese planes? Therefore, the air defense of the positions on both sides, like the artillery positions, was quite in place, and not only were camouflage nets installed on the top of the positions, but also there were anti-artillery holes on the mountain walls.

Before the little Japanese planes arrived at the place, the movement came, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion transferred all the artillery into the anti-artillery holes, and even the heavy artillery positions of the heavy artillery regiment under the mountain were also prepared for air defense. The Japanese planes circled around the two hills for a long time, but did not find any artillery positions, so they could only drop a batch of bombs indiscriminately.

These bombs did not work at all, not even the edge of the artillery position. There are also planes that want to fly to the position below the mountain to drop bombs, but when they fly down, they see that this position is close to the mountain peak, and they cannot dive and bomb, otherwise they will not have time to pull up the plane, and they will crash into the mountain. In desperation, he could only drop the bomb at a high altitude.

Most of these bombs exploded in the fields and roads outside the positions, and only a small part of them were dropped into the positions, and the power of the bombs was not small, but they did not fall directly on the bunkers and anti-artillery holes, so they did not bring much damage. The Japanese bombing was very unsuccessful, and Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu did not dare to attack again.

Soon after the plane flew back, a telegram from Commander Okamura Ninji to the commander of the Honma Masaharu Division arrived, and the telegram asked Okamura Ninji to send a small elite force to the top of the hill to find the artillery position of the Shina army, and then when the plane arrived, guide the plane to destroy it.

After Masaharu Honma saw the telegram, he called the Wing Commander of the Third Wing, Osamu Ono, who read the telegram sent by Commander Okamura Ninji and said to Masaharu Honma: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, my subordinates are willing to send people to complete this glorious task. Honma Masaharu said with a smile on his face: "Yo Xi, this task will be handed over to Ono-kun's third wing to complete, for the victory of the imperial army, please Ono-kun." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the command post of the Third Wing, Osamu Ono and more than a dozen junior officers under his command were there, Osamu Ono said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to destroy the artillery position set up by the Shina army on the top of the mountain, it is necessary to send a unit to secretly sneak into the opposite hill to find out the artillery position of the Shina people, and give guidance for the aircraft bombing tomorrow morning. Your Excellency the Division Commander has entrusted this task to our Third Wing, and which of you is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"

After these men were silent for a while, one of them stood up and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinates are willing to lead a team to complete this task. Osamu Ono saw that it was the captain of the second brigade under him, Hidesawa Yamada. I know Yamada Hidesawa Osamu Ono very well, this Yamada Hidesawa is his fellow countryman, who once studied at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany for three years, and is an excellent imperial ** official in all aspects.

Now that Hidesawa Yamada can take the initiative to stand up, Osamu Ono is also very happy. Osamu Ono asked the others to step back, leaving Hidesawa Yamada alone. After the two of them were in the command post for a long time, Osamu Ono sent Hidesawa Yamada out of the command post. Hidesawa Yamada then began to select players throughout the Third Wing. Two hours later, sixty members of the team gathered in the camp.

Hidesawa Yamada selected the soldiers and began to choose weapons and equipment for them, and the Type 38 rifles and "crooked" light machine guns that were usually used were not used, but 10 Type 96 light machine guns, 20 Southern-style submachine guns, and 6 Type 97 sniper rifles, and the rest used Type 44 carbines. In addition, a lot of equipment such as walkie-talkies, radios, high-explosive grenades, and grenadiers were also prepared.
