At the same time, Colonel Yamazaki Shiro was staring at the high ground in front of the 55th Regiment of the Japanese Army. His face was extremely gloomy, and his frown brows expressed his bad mood.

The fierce battle between the two sides continued, but after fighting for so long, his soldiers did not even rush in 50 meters. Instead... the attacking brigade had four or five hundred casualties, which made Yamazaki, who was arrogant, difficult to accept.

You should know that their 18th Division has not been defeated since the Battle of Shanghai. It was almost invincible in Southeast Asia, and it made the British and Chinese Expeditionary Forces run away. Because it is good at jungle warfare, the 18th Division is called 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, they burn, kill, loot and do evil, but it has to be said that the combat effectiveness of this army is really strong.

"Let Hiroshi withdraw and send the second brigade to take over. Be sure not to give the Chinese people some time to breathe." After thinking for a long time, Shiro Yamazaki made a new arrangement.

"Hi!" The messenger immediately prepared to draft a telegram.

After observing for so long, Yamazaki could see some clues. Although the Chinese soldier had strong firepower, there was almost no other artillery fire counterattack except for the mortars that were fired from time to time in the rear. They seemed to have no long-range artillery power at all.

Moreover, with such firepower density, their ammunition consumption must be extremely huge. Although they seem to have an advantage now, once the ammunition supply is interrupted, their defense line will be useless.

Just as Yamazaki was thinking, the radio station soldiers hurried over with a telegram he had just received:

"Reporting to the wing captain, Colonel Jiangkou sent a telegram, saying that the Chinese on the left wing were particularly fierce in resistance and wanted to ask our artillery to provide tactical guidance and jointly implement firepower suppression on the enemy."

"Hmph, didn't Jiangkou say that their 56th team could easily win the jungle by rushing through it? Why do you still have to ask me for help now?"

Shiro Yamazaki said sarcastically that at the beginning of the attack, the guy even boasted to Shinichi Tanaka, which made the latter praise him. Yamazaki, who was very jealous, couldn't stand the villain's successful face very much.

"Col. Jiangkou said that the Chinese people over there had a large number of armored vehicles and war defense artillery, and the enemy's individual weapons were extremely firepower, so..." the radio soldier explained.

While fighting fiercely on the 233 Highlands, the left-wing position stationed by Chen Jize was also attacked by the 56th Japanese Army Regiment.

However, there is no danger to guard the left wing position, and there is no other terrain that can be covered except the forest behind him, so Chen Jize did not spoil the Japanese, and the firepower was fully activated.

The 37th war defense artillery and 75th mountain artillery of the Artillery Battalion kept beating them without reservation. The armored convoy protecting the two wings also drove to the middle from time to time to make a wave, directly defeating the Japanese and had no temper at all.

If Liao Mingyu hadn't ordered everyone not to charge backwards before receiving the order, Chen Jize's temper would have really wanted Yuan Li to drive an armored vehicle and run over.

The 56th Regiment's offense was frustrated, no, it should be said that he was beaten in the face. The gang leader, Eguchi, dared not report the situation directly to Shinichi Tanaka directly. The latter's personality is afraid that he would be sarcastic, so he could only let down his face and ask the 55th Regiment for artillery support first.

Although Yamazaki felt very despised, he knew that the situation was serious and could not act voluntarily. He simply agreed to Ekou's request and pulled all the seven or eight Type 92 infantry artillery of the corps headquarters over.

At this moment, changes occurred on the battlefield of the 233 Highlands. The firepower of the Chinese began to weaken. Their mortars almost stopped firing. The newly launched Japanese Second Battalion was approaching the edge of the position. The two sides were less than 30 meters apart and they had already started to rush grenades to each other.

Yamazaki quickly picked up the telescope to observe the situation. The Chinese people were not strong enough. The Chinese soldiers were ready to give up the front and began to retreat to the second line of defense on the top of the slope.

The reason why the second team has not yet attacked is that the dozen heavy machine guns on the top of the slope are still outputting firepower, but they look like they are at the end of their power.

Yamazaki Shiro's eyes narrowed, and the opportunity finally came: "Order! The third team attacked immediately and rushed to the enemy's position as fast as possible!"

"Hi!"

The battlefield suddenly changed drastically. The originally impregnable main position of 233 was in crisis, and the fierce attack of the Japanese army seemed to be about to be rewarded.

As long as you take down the 233 high ground, you can charge from top to bottom to the left-wing position. What else can the Chinese people turn over when they attack on both sides? If you do it well, the battle will be resolved today.

Thinking of this, Shiro Yamazaki couldn't help but secretly feel happy. If the 55th Regiment successfully took the position, it would become the first unit to break through the enemy's defense line.

After the order was issued, the Japanese army responded quickly, and the third battalion immediately began to organize troops to attack forward, and the second battalion, which was still fighting hard, also put all its troops on the battlefield.

The two sides had been in war for most of the day, because the Chinese army had not launched a large-scale artillery counterattack, Yamazaki Shiro subconsciously thought that the other side did not have heavy artillery units, and the position of the 55th Regiment was higher than that of the other two Japanese troops.

This also allows his soldiers to quickly complete the advance and retreat. As long as the forward is frustrated and retreats, a group of troops can be organized to launch a new attack immediately, so that the entire offensive line will not be paused at all, and forces the enemy to get no chance to breathe.

Under the release of the soldiers of the Second Regiment, the Japanese had already rushed into the frontier positions.

Logically speaking, it is best to launch a counterattack at this time to push the enemy out of the position, otherwise more and more Japanese troops will rush in, but the soldiers will fight and retreat while fighting, and will never get entangled with the Japanese.

The first battalion commander leaned against the trench wall and changed the magazine, shouting loudly to Fan Xiangwu at the top of his lungs: "Deputy Commander, the Japanese have begun to attack with all their might! Are we still going to retreat?? We have to give up the entire high ground in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he mustered up the courage to poke his body out again, and his fingers tightly on the trigger of the submachine gun: "Son of Turtle is so angry!"

“Haosh…!”

The bullets hit the sandbag and made a thud. Two Japanese soldiers just wanted to get up and charge, but were shot into a hornet's nest by the dense bullets.

"Wait a little longer, hold on!"

Fan Xiangwu was not sure, why hasn't the signal arrived yet?

There were not many soldiers around him firing, and the soldiers were holding their breath because their commanders were not allowed to fight back too much.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment have always been subject to orders and strict discipline. Although they do not understand why the superior issued such orders, they still carried out meticulously and conscientiously.

Almost one squadron of Japanese soldiers had entered the front of the position, and behind them, the main force of the second brigade and the third brigade were rushing towards the high ground without stopping.

"Damn, you can't wait!" Fan Xiangwu was anxious. The entire position would be lost if the troops did not fight back.

call out……

Just as he was about to give the order, a sharp whistle came from behind with the shells slashing across the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three shells hit the edge of the Japanese offensive team. Although there were no casualties, the Japanese were also startled by the sudden artillery bombardment.

But now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. The attacking team did not stop at all and continued to rush towards the mountains.

"The direction of the shooting boundary is left, adjust the right five degrees, and the shooting angle is negative two degrees, and calibrate again."

At this time, on the top of the highland mountain, a three-person shooting observation team was closely watching the situation ahead and quickly reported the shooting elements to the rear position through radio.
