Since the Great Wall War of Resistance, the 25th Division has formed a good tradition, that is, the troops in the main positions are rotated every 24 hours, so that the troops on the front line will not be tired and always maintain the fullest morale, which is very important for long-term position wars.

On the night of the 22nd, the Third Battalion of the 145th Regiment replaced the First Battalion on Hupi Mountain; because the Second Battalion was on the flank and on the 22nd, they were only bombed and not attacked by Japanese infantry head-on, the Second Battalion continued to defend its existing positions.

In the early morning of the 23rd, the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack with cannons and tanks as cover. Explosions were heard everywhere on Tigerpie Mountain, and smoke was shrouded everywhere. The Japanese infantry team did not care about their possible casualties. They followed the explosion point to launch a cruel wave charge towards the Tigerpie Mountain position.

The Japanese soldiers were fearless and the hillsides of Hupi Mountain were filled with yellow figures. The Third Battalion took over the position last night, and the enemy took the killer as soon as they came up, which caught them a little off guard. The Hupi Mountain position was in danger!

On the one hand, the 145th Regiment strictly ordered the battalion commander of the Third Battalion, He Peide, to lead the troops to survive and die together with the positions. On the other hand, he urgently ordered the guards of the east side of Hupi Mountain. The 6th Company of the Second Battalion in the northwest corner of Banbudianzi to attack the left side of the Japanese infantry, and then ordered the first battalion and company as a reserve team to raid the right side of the Japanese infantry.

After receiving the urgent order, Wu Cheng, the acting battalion commander of the Second Battalion, led the 6th Company to attack the left side of the Japanese, leaving the trenches outside the village for Li Qinglin's fifth Company to defend.

The Japanese infantry had already rushed to the top of the slope, and the defenders of the third battalion on the mountain were still suppressed by the enemy's artillery fire and could not raise their heads. In order to attack the enemy as soon as possible, the 6th Battalion had to take the form of group charge. The 6th Company was in the Czech style with submachine guns, and others followed closely behind. They rushed towards the dense areas of the enemy.

The Japanese army, who were attacking upward from the northern slope of Hupi Mountain, were suddenly attacked sideways, and they suffered heavy casualties and retreated one after another. In order to cover their infantry retreat safely, the Japanese artillery fire began again. The unblocked sixth company was exposed to the enemy artillery fire. More than half of the company's casualties were killed and half. Wu Cheng was also seriously injured, and life and death were unpredictable.

In order to increase firepower to the Sixth Company, Li Qinglin allocated half of the Czech style of the Fifth Company to the Sixth Company, so the firepower on the position plummeted.

The Sixth Company left, the position of the Fifth Company was lengthened, the density of the defenders decreased, the troops were stretched out, and the firepower was significantly weakened. The small group of Japanese soldiers who were feinting attacks in front of the Fifth Company's position immediately seized the fighter plane, and they turned feinting attacks into strong attacks.

After several attacks, more than a dozen Japanese troops rushed to the front of the position, and dozens of subsequent Japanese soldiers were rushing in. At this time, only hand-to-hand combat could solve the problem.

Li Qinglin shouted, "Brothers, if you have an enemy, you will be invincible, kill me!" Then he rushed out with a bayonet rifle.

Fortunately, it was arranged on the east side of the Tiger Sie Mountain, the regiment-owned mortar company next to the Fifth Company's position noticed the dilemma of the Fifth Company. The 82mm mortars promptly supported the Fifth Company. The shells fell into the subsequent Japanese formation, and the group of Japanese were blown away.

Li Qinglin's fifth company was never afraid of face-to-face assassination. In addition, the subsequent Japanese were blown away by mortars. These ten Japanese who rushed to the position were surrounded by the fifth company. After a desperate fight, the small group of Japanese were quickly destroyed.

This time the offense and defense were extremely dangerous. Li Qinglin's fifth company suffered more than a dozen casualties. Although the sixth company successfully attacked sideways under Wu Cheng's leadership, more than half of the casualties in the entire company were killed or injured.

Wu Cheng, who was in a coma, was carried down by a stretcher. At that time, a Japanese shell exploded beside him, and shrapnel exploded several holes in his body. The soldiers carried him down on the stretcher and carried his stretcher all the way down the ground with blood dripping.

Li Qinglin looked at Wu Cheng's young and pale face, held his hand, and shouted, "Brother, hold on! You are not a soft boy, you have to get better, we will fight the Japanese together in the future."

Wu Cheng was injured, and the regiment urgently sent a captain and staff to act as battalion commander of the second battalion. The remaining soldiers of the fifth company retreated, and the fourth company joined hands to the original sixth company's hillside position. Li Qinglin's fifth company continued to return to the Banpudianzi to hold on.

At noon, fierce gunfire suddenly broke out from the side of the 145th Regiment. It turned out that while the Japanese attacked head-on, they sent a large group of troops to detour to Aishanxi, with the purpose of cutting off the connection between Aishan and Hupishan from the side.

At this moment of crisis, Liu Shimao, the commander of the 149th Regiment of the 75th Brigade of the 25th Division, did not wait for the superiors to order. He immediately commanded the main force of the regiment to take the initiative, plagiarized the enemy's retreat from the enemy's side and launched a fierce attack. The Japanese detoured troops were caught off guard and suffered major casualties. The enemy was defeated.

The Japanese Isogata Division failed twice in a row within a day, and they became much more honest in the afternoon and did not launch an attack.

In the evening, a team of engineers came to the position. They carried a large number of mines on their backs and buried mines at the front of the position. The 25th Division's division judged that the Japanese army's attacks were continuously frustrated during the day. With the Japanese army's vengeance, they were very likely to attack at night. The engineers of the 25th Division brought some mines to the Xuzhou battlefield. These mines were not useful in the Taierzhuang battle. This tactical defensive weapon could just prevent the enemy's sneak attacks at night. Therefore, the division ordered all mines to be buried on the frontier positions.

In order to prevent the defenders from being careless, the division also ordered all troops not to take off their clothes and keep guns away, and reserve night lighting objects such as torches and fires in front of the position. If the Japanese army really attacked, they would use it as a shooting lighting.

During the rest of Luoyang, the fifth and sixth companies had conducted many night sneak attacks and anti-sneak attacks. In order to defeat the other side, the soldiers and soldiers of the two companies were familiar with this kind of battle. The division notified them to prevent sneak attacks, and they did all the instructions from the above, but they also made some other preparations.

At two o'clock in the morning on the 24th, the Japanese army came to attack.

Since the War of Resistance Against Japan, the national army has rarely used landmines. This time, the mine buried by the 25th Division in the frontier positions was beyond the expectations of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army attacked quietly touched the frontier, a landmine was accidentally stepped on by the Japanese soldiers, and the mine exploded!

The explosion of the mine awakened all the defenders, and the officers and soldiers lying in the trenches immediately entered the battle position. Torches were lit one by one and then dropped to the front of the ground. The fires that had been prepared were lit one by one, and the flames were blazing, and the figures of the Japanese ambushing troops were fully exposed.

The machine guns on the 25th Division's position were fired, the submachine guns were fired, the box cannons were fired, and the rifles were fired, and dense rain of bullets shot towards the sneaky figures at the front of the position. In order to avoid the rain of bullets, the Japanese rushed to the ground, which instead detonated more landmines, and more Japanese soldiers were killed and injured.

The Japanese who failed to attack began to retreat, and the show prepared for them by the 5th and 6th companies began to take place.
