The Mushroom Ridge position was captured, which was extremely terrifying news for the 110th Division of the Japanese Army.

The broken back means that the supplies, ammunition, supplies, etc. of the Japanese 110th Division have become extremely scarce, and it is difficult to engage in high-intensity battles.

The Japanese army swept half of China, in addition to its strong combat power, its strong logistical support is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

What is the war?

The one who fights is logistics!

The three armies went ahead before they moved their food and supplies, and there was no sufficient supplies and ammunition, so let's just fuck them!

For a moment, all the senior officials of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army were panicked.

"Your Excellency the division commander, let's see if Colonel Aida's 211th Regiment and Erino's artillery can regain the Mushroom Ridge position!" said the Chief of Staff of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army anxiously.

"Um!"

Upon hearing this, the division commander Yoshio Kimura nodded heavily.

With the battle situation to this level, Yoshio Kimura no longer expects to annihilate the 512th Brigade. He now has to take back the Mushroom Ridge position, and then the entire division quickly evacuated the four places in Shu Prefecture, otherwise he will face a big defeat!

If the 110th Division is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable!

By then, not only will the Japanese army be in trouble for the large-scale mobilization of Hebei, but the Japanese army in the entire North China will also have a sharp drop in morale.

"Our army has failed on the Shandong battlefield, and the Hebei battlefield cannot fail no matter what!"

The development of the situation has reached the most urgent moment!

~~~~~~

At 3 pm that day, the 211th Japanese Army Regiment, together with part of the Artillery Regiment, immediately launched an attack on our positions when they arrived in the Muguling area.

"This battle must not be defeated. We must regain the Mushroom Ridge position, otherwise our division will lose all the way!"

The captain of the regiment, Colonel Xiangtian, roared: "Transfer my order and order Tencent Brigade to attack the Qingpishan position with all its might;

Order Ozawa Squadron to attack the pheasant mountain position with all its might;

The rest of the troops will overwhelm the main position of Mushroom Ridge!”

"Hi, Mr. Captain!"

A group of Japanese officers responded loudly.

After the deployment was made, the wing captain, Colonel Suda, set his sights on Katsuo Echino on the side.

"Mr. Zhino, your artillery will play a crucial role in whether you can regain the Mushroom Ridge position this time. Please!"

After saying that, the team leader Saita Kota Katsuo Okino, bowed to the end, with an extremely respectful expression.

Katsuo Eino is also a colonel, so how could he bear Colonel Aida's courtesy?

He immediately pulled it up and said, "Aada, it's all for the empire!

Don't worry, this time my artillery corps will fully cooperate with your actions. We will definitely be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army and regain the Mushroom Ridge position."

The battle begins!

Japanese artillery fired together, and shells that exploded out kept exploding on our positions.

A huge ball of fire rose into the sky!

The gunpowder was covered with smoke from our army.

The big trees around were burning with fire, and the soil on the ground had long been blown into scorched earth.

Faced with the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, our soldiers could only curl up in the trenches and passively resist, and bursts of artillery fire rumbling in their ears kept coming.

Although the Japanese artillery fire was fierce, the fortifications of the Mushroom Ridge position were strong, and the soldiers did not suffer any major casualties except for their aggrievances.

However, there were some who had no eyesight and were torn to pieces by the artillery fire.

"Damn the Japanese, are you still fucking endlessly?"

"We just took their position, and we didn't sleep with his mother, so what about?"

"Don't say this, I'm still sleeping with him? You kid probably haven't even touched a woman's hand."

The soldiers joked with each other without a trace of panic.

What is the 512th Brigade?

That is the most capable team among the entire Eighth Route Army!

I don’t know how many storms and waves have seen. The soldiers really didn’t take this artillery offensive too much.

Command post of the New Second Regiment.

Commander Ding Wei said to Yang Zhihua: "I said to Commander Yang, although we are condescending and have strong fortifications, it is not a big deal for us to be beaten passively.

"That's it!"

Deputy regiment commander Long Weng echoed: "As the saying goes, it is impolite to come but not come. Are our artillery also showing off and giving the Japanese a little ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhihua shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Captain Ding, Deputy Commander Long, our artillery regiment has come in a hurry this time. The number of artillery carried is not large, only 4 mortars, 2 mountain cannons, and 2 infantry cannons. If we take action now, it will be like exposing our artillery!"

"Oh? That's it!"

At this moment, Ding Wei and Long Weng both showed solemn expressions.

They finally understood why Yang Zhihua had been slow to fire!

Although the new Second Regiment, which occupied the Mushroom Ridge position at this moment, has a large number of people, with more than 2,000 people, in the current situation, they cannot have reinforcements!

In contrast, the Japanese army will continuously mobilize troops to launch a fierce attack on the Mushroom Ridge position.

At this critical moment, if our army uses artillery, it will indeed cause great casualties to the Japanese army, but if the shells are gone, the subsequent battle will be even more difficult.

"Therefore, our artillery can only be fired when the position is most critical, so that our artillery fire can be maximized!"

Yang Zhihua said in a deep voice.

The 211th Japanese Army Regiment launched an attack since 3 pm and attacked for several hours in a row, launching as many as 14 attacks, but failed to shake the Mushroom Ridge position.

For a moment, the Japanese wing captain, Colonel Suzuda, was anxious.

The captain of the artillery regiment, Katsuo Erino, also had a gloomy face.

"The terrain of Mushroom Ridge is too dangerous. Our artillery fire extends and it is difficult to cause fatal damage to it. If we do not adjust our strategy, let alone not being able to take down Mushroom Ridge today, we will not be able to shake it even if we give us two more days."

Katsuo Echino said coldly: "Aada, I suggest that we should report to the division immediately and request heavy troops to come!"

After the words came to an end, the captain of the regiment, Colonel Suzutan, was extremely unwilling.

It is a great shame for him and the entire Japanese 211 Regiment.

He really didn't want to ask the division commander for help, but the battle situation reached this point, and he knew that this was no longer something that he could solve in his corps.

Finally, the regiment commander, Colonel Xiangtian, even though he was extremely unwilling to accept it, he still asked the 110th Division for help.

Brigade Department of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhao Gang said in a deep voice: "The key now depends on whether the Japanese will continue to increase their troops to the Mushroom Ridge area!"

"That's right!"

Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao said: "Once the Japanese division continues to increase troops to Moguling, then their troops in Pingshun, Licheng and Lucheng will definitely be reduced. At that time, we can launch an attack on the empty areas of their troops and further compress the Japanese army's living space."

Now the Japanese army has broken down, there are only two ways to go.

First, we worked hard to defend Shexian, Pingshun, Licheng and Lucheng, and waited for the Japanese army outside Handan to come to rescue;

Second, we mobilized troops from other places to attack Mushroom Ridge and opened up contact with Wu'an County.

"hehe!"

Liu Tongluo smiled and said, "No matter which road it is, it is fatal to the Japanese army!"

Ouyang nodded and said, "It seems that I should add some pressure to the Japanese!"

Adding pressure?

At this moment, Ouyang immediately used the radio station to issue orders to the leading detachment.

"Longtou Detachment, dispatch immediately and send troops to Handan City!"
Chapter completed!
