In the short time when the two armies fired at each other, the Japanese commanders behind them were also judging the situation on the battlefield.

The Kuomintang army on the opposite side looked very calm. The heavy machine guns of the defenders seemed to have been knocked out, and the firepower equipment of other light weapons seemed to be compliant. In most cases, the guards of the Kuomintang were often very panicked in the early stages of resistance, and the Japanese commanders who fought with the Kuomintang army many times were very impressed by this. Judging from the tentative attack in the morning and the current attack, the opponents facing the Japanese army looked so stable that they looked like a long-standing battle formation force, which was beyond his expectations. This was also the reason why he had been careful today.

But what is strange is that the only artillery fire supported on Mount Tailing Mountain was mortar and heavy machine gun. Some time ago, the large-caliber howitzers that had been killing the Japanese army had not yet opened fire.

Did their main force retreat? The Japanese commander was shocked by his sudden idea.

If the main force of the national army has retreated, and the one who is attacking on his own is a small number of cover troops.

The Nankou Battle has ended, the 20th Division of the North China Qutun Army has been freed up, and the commander Xiangyue Qingshi has decided to wipe out the 14th Army. If the opponent really retreats quietly and he has not noticed that the opponent has retreated, the commander's plan will be lost. The commander, the battlefield commander, has a huge responsibility.

Is the opponent's main force still in Fengli Mountain? It can be tested with just one full attack. If the support point at the foot of the National Army can be captured and the firepower on the mountain is still the same, it means that the main force of the 10th Division has long been withdrawn. Thinking of this, the Japanese commander ordered: "Attack with all your strength!"

With the commander's order, all the Japanese infantrymen who were lying on the ground had taken action. The Japanese commander's judgment was indeed correct. The Second Battalion was short of personnel and was stretched everywhere. The platoon's troops were insufficient. In addition, it had just been knocked out by Japanese cannons and grenade launchers, and the firepower density of the defenders plummeted. The Japanese army quickly reached the starting point of a one hundred meters charge.

After another round of suppression of artillery and grenade launchers, the Japanese carried the 38th cover with bayonets and shouted "onboard" to rush towards the national military positions.

At this moment, there were only a dozen intact officers and soldiers left on the position. The Japanese were getting closer and closer, and they were still insisting on shooting.

One hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters, fifty meters! The ferocious faces of the Japanese became clearer and clearer, and the cold bayonets in their hands became more and more dazzling.

"Brothers, withdraw!" The platoon leader gave the order.

Because the division had already transferred almost the wounded and baggage in the early stage, the task given to the 527th Regiment was actually to delay the Japanese army for one day. The regiment commander had been in the army for many years and knew that orderly retreating was a weakness of the national army. Therefore, when announcing the mission in the morning, he said that it would delay the Japanese army for one to two days. The regiment commander doubled the task. On the one hand, the longer the time was, the more beneficial it would be for the main force to retreat. On the other hand, it would lengthen the time and prevent the lower-level officers from taking their own initiative. At that time, they would retreat by themselves.

Since it was delayed by the Japanese army, dragging time was the biggest task of the 527th Regiment. Relying on the positions to resist at layers of layers is the established policy of the 527th Regiment. For the small positions at the foot of the mountain, the regiment commander gave the defenders the order to defend as long as they could, and if they really couldn't do it, they would give up. Therefore, when the Japanese army attacked with superior forces, the platoon leader ordered the retreat.

The soldiers quickly retreated from the fortifications with their wounded comrades on their backs. During the retreat, the firepower on the mountain gave them the greatest support. The Japanese army that attacked the positions might have wanted to gain a foothold and did not send troops to pursue them.

The Japanese soldiers who occupied the position "Victory" cheered loudly, and the "Onboard" sounded in full swing. But they were too happy, and suddenly, huge explosions threw them into the air.

This position is very important to both sides. When the platoon leader realized that he would not be able to defend, he ordered the soldiers to lay explosives in the trenches, and the explosives were distributed in multiple points, connected together with long fuses, which were also led out of the fortifications. When the Japanese rushed into the fortifications, the platoon leader on the way to retreat lit the fuse.

The continuous and huge explosions blew the first batch of Japanese rushing in, and a large number of injured Japanese wailed. The subsequent Japanese only saw the explosions in front of them. They didn't know what was happening in the fortifications, and they all lay on the ground at a loss.

The explosion stopped and the smoke slowly dissipated. The Japanese plucked up their courage to enter the fortifications, and they finally truly occupied this support point.

The defenders covered in dust and smoke finally retreated to the main position of Fenglishan. Looking at the group of tired officers and soldiers, Li Qinglin thought to himself that it will be his turn next time.

This attack was successful, and the Japanese commander confirmed that the main force of the national army had withdrawn. While reporting the battlefield situation to his superiors with a radio station, he dispatched troops and prepared to eliminate the defenders in the shortest time. Because only by annihilation or defeating the defenders on Mount Tai, his troops could pursue the main force of the 10th Division.

The 527th Regiment's delay tactics were effective. The Japanese worked hard for a whole morning before occupying the positions at the foot of the mountain. Now the Japanese are nervously preparing for the next round of attack, but there are many things to prepare for a battle, and the Japanese are unable to organize an effective attack for a while. As soon as twelve o'clock noon, the cooks brought food, and the Japanese are still busy at the foot of the mountain. Li Qinglin and the others finished their lunch with peace of mind.

Platoon leader Wu Cheng seemed to be a little better now and had a little lunch at noon. The battle at the foot of the mountain was very fierce. He had seen what fighting was throughout the whole process. After experiencing the initial panic, he began to slowly adapt to this kind of life.

Seeing that Wu Cheng seemed to have recovered his yang energy, his body was no longer so stiff. However, he had no expression on his face and pale face. He was still a long way from becoming a normal person. Seeing that he was like this, Li Qinglin said to the soldiers who were guarding him: "When I get a rifle for the platoon leader, the Japanese attack will begin soon."

Li Qinglin did this reason. Only when scholars like Wu Cheng were asked to pick up the gun and kill the enemy with their own hands on the battlefield can he overcome psychological barriers and become a real warrior.

The Japanese at the foot of the mountain have never been idle. They are very "hardworking" and "hardworking". They keep transporting ammunition from the rear and transferring soldiers. After a period of combat preparation, at 1:00 pm, the Japanese attack on Mount Yushi officially began.

The Japanese army, who had figured out the details of the defenders on the mountain, were not polite at all. This time they did not even conduct a tentative attack, and the first attack was carried out on the defenders on the mountain.
