At the same time, the 55th Wing Headquarters of the Japanese Army, Shiro Yamazaki Daisa, was staring intently at the high ground ahead, only to see that his face was unusually gloomy, and his frown was tightly knit to indicate his bad mood.

The fierce battle between the two sides continued, but after fighting for so long, their own soldiers did not even rush into it for 50 meters, instead... The attacking brigade had already suffered four or five hundred casualties, which was difficult for the arrogant Yamazaki to accept.

You must know that their 18th Division has not tasted defeat since the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, and it is almost invincible in Southeast Asia, beating the British and the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and because it is good at jungle warfare, the 18th Division is known as the king of jungle warfare.

Of course, the people of Southeast Asia call them "jungle demons" because these beasts are still difficult to move in Southeast Asia, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, but I have to say that the combat effectiveness of this army is really strong.

"Let Guangzhi withdraw, send the second team to pick it up, and you must not give the Huaxia people time to breathe." After thinking about it for a long time, Shiro Yamazaki made a new arrangement.

"Hey!" The herald immediately prepared to draw up a telegram.

After observing for so long, Yamazaki can also see a clue, although the Chinese have strong individual firepower, but except for the mortars that shoot from time to time in the rear, there is almost no other artillery counterattack, and they don't seem to have long-range artillery power at all.

And judging from this firepower density, their ammunition consumption must be extremely huge, and although they seem to have an advantage now, if the ammunition supply is interrupted and there is no time to replenish it, their defense line will be useless.

Just when Yamazaki was in a lot of thoughts, the radio soldier hurriedly walked over with a telegram he had just received:

"Report to the wing commander, Eguchi Daisa, sent a telegram, saying that the resistance of the Chinese on the left flank was particularly fierce, and he wanted to ask our artillery for tactical guidance and jointly suppress the enemy's firepower."

"Hmph, didn't Eguchi say that the jungle could be easily taken by their 56th Wing as soon as they rushed through? Why are you asking me for help now? ”

Yamazaki Shiro sarcastically said that at the beginning of the attack, the guy also deliberately boasted to Tanaka Shinichi about Haikou, which provoked the latter to praise him, and the jealous Yamazaki was very unaccustomed to the villain's face.

"Eguchi Daisa said that the Chinese over there had a large number of armored vehicles and anti-aircraft guns, and the enemy's individual weapons were extremely powerful, so they ......," the radio soldier explained.

At the same time as the fierce battle on the 233rd Heights, the left flank position where Chen Jize was stationed was also attacked by the Japanese 56th Wing.

It's just that the left flank position is not in danger to defend, and there is no other terrain that can cover except for the forest behind him, so Chen Jize was not used to the little devil at the beginning, and he was full of firepower

The 37 anti-aircraft guns and 75 mountain guns of the artillery battalion beat hard without reservation, and the armored convoy guarding the two wings drove to the middle from time to time to make waves, directly beating the little devils to the point of misery and not having the slightest temper.

If it weren't for Liao Mingyu's order that everyone should not carry out a counter-charge without receiving the order, Chen Jize's temper really wanted to ask Yuan Li to drive the armored car and run over directly.

The 56 Wing's attack was frustrated, no, it should be said that it was slapped in the face. Wing Commander Eguchi did not dare to report the situation directly to Tanaka Shinichi, and the latter's character was afraid that a scolding would be indispensable for him to cut his head and cover his face, so he could only pull down his face and ask the 55th Wing for artillery support first.

Although Yamazaki was very disdainful in his heart, he also knew that the situation was serious and could not be rash, so he simply agreed to Eguchi's request and pulled the seven or eight Type 92 infantry guns from the wing headquarters.

At this moment, there was a change on the battlefield of the 233rd Heights, the firepower of the Huaxia began to weaken, their mortars almost stopped firing, and the newly entered Japanese Second Brigade was already approaching the edge of the position, and the two sides were less than 30 meters apart, and they had begun to exchange grenades.

Yamazaki hurriedly picked up the binoculars to observe the situation, the Huaxia people were not strong enough, and the Huaxia soldiers were ready to abandon the front line and began to retreat to the second line of defense at the top of the slope.

The reason why the second brigade has not yet attacked is because the dozen or so heavy machine guns on the top of the slope are still exporting firepower, but it seems that it is also the end of the crossbow.

Shiro Yamazaki's eyes froze, and the opportunity finally came: "Order!" The 3rd Brigade immediately attacked and rushed to the enemy's position as fast as possible! ”

"Hey!"

The battlefield suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes, the originally impregnable 233 main position was in crisis, and the fierce attack of the Japanese army seemed to be about to pay off.

As long as you take the 233 heights, you can charge the left flank position from top to bottom, and what can the Chinese people do with the two sides at that time? If you do it well, you will be able to solve the battle today.

Thinking of this, Shiro Yamazaki couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if the 55th Wing succeeded in taking the position, it would be the first unit to break through the enemy's defensive line.

After the order was given, the Japanese responded quickly, and the 3rd Brigade immediately began to organize troops to assault forward, while the 2nd Brigade, which was still fighting hard, also put all its forces into the battlefield.

The two sides had been fighting for most of the day, because the Chinese army had not carried out a large-scale artillery counterattack, causing Yamazaki Shiro to subconsciously think that the other side had no heavy artillery units, and the position of the 55th Wing was higher than that of the other two Japanese armies.

This also enables his soldiers to quickly complete the transition between advance and retreat, as long as the forward is frustrated and retreats, a group of troops can be organized to re-attack at the back, so that the entire offensive line does not pause in the slightest, and also forces the enemy to not have a chance to breathe.

Under the release of the soldiers of the second regiment, the little devil had already rushed into the forward position.

It stands to reason that at this time it is best to launch a wave of counter-charge to push the enemy out of the position, otherwise more and more Japanese troops will rush in, but the soldiers are fighting and retreating, resolutely not entangled with the little devils.

The commander of the first battalion leaned against the wall of the trench to change the magazine, and at the same time shouted to Fan Xiangwu with all his might: "Deputy commander, the devil has begun to attack with all his might!" Shall we still withdraw?? After that, we'll have to give up the whole highland! ”

As soon as the words fell, he plucked up the courage to lean out again, and his fingers were firmly clasped on the trigger of the submachine gun: "Turtle son, be angry!" ”

"Boom bang ......!"

The bullets popped on the sandbags, and the two little devils were just trying to get up and charge when they were hit into a hornet's nest by the dense bullets.

"Wait, hold on!"

Fan Xiangwu didn't know the bottom in his heart, why hadn't the signal come yet.

Not many soldiers fired around, and the soldiers held their breath as their commander ordered not to return fire too much.

The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment have always been strict in their discipline, and although they do not understand why the commander gave such orders, they still carry them out meticulously and conscientiously.

Almost a squadron of Japanese soldiers had already entered the front of the position, and behind them, the main force of the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade were rushing towards the high ground without stopping.

"Damn, I can't wait!" Fan Xiangwu was so anxious that if the troops did not return fire, the entire position would be lost.

Shout......

Just as he was about to give the order, there was a sudden screech of cannonballs across the sky from behind.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Three shells hit the edge of the Japanese attacking team, and although there were no casualties, the little devil was also taken aback by the sudden shelling.

However, now that the arrow had to be fired, the attacking team did not stop at all, and continued to rush towards the mountain.

"The direction of the shooting boundary is to the left, the right is adjusted by five degrees, the shooting angle is negative by two degrees, and it is calibrated again."

At this time, at the top of the hill, a three-person shooting observation team was closely watching the situation ahead, and quickly reported the shooting to the rear position by radio.

"Three rapid fires, let's go!"
