On the position, both the Chinese soldiers and the Japanese army did not sleep all night.

Because the front of the position had just stopped for a while, the flanks jingled all night.

The battle was early in the morning, and the two wings still had no intention of giving up. The Japanese army on the front also couldn't help but launch a counterattack.

It was finally dawn, but the Japanese army lost your ability to turn the situation on the battlefield because the road positions began to exert the power of the day.

The shells landed accurately near the Japanese firepower point, and Zhao Ziming transferred four heavy machine guns and placed them on the position.

The suppression of mortar shells and heavy machine guns quickly made the Japanese army unable to move.

Originally, the Japanese army wanted to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese army during the day, and regain the position in the morning, and consolidate the position.

However, the firepower on the highway position is condescending, and it can achieve precise strikes several miles away.

After dawn, Japanese soldiers hid in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads. As long as they showed up, a few bullets would fly over.

Not to mention whether the bullet can be hit, but the bullet can fly by you at any time. That feeling is more terrifying than being hit directly.

"We have to continue to expand the results of the battle," said Qin Dongsheng. "With the cooperation of road positions, we should launch an attack during the day and turn to defense at night."

Night battles are their strengths, but with the support of highway positions, they can suppress the Japanese army in the trenches and cover the Chinese soldiers to open the breakthrough of Japanese defense.

However, after a night of deployment, the Japanese deployed new artillery positions on the backscene on the east side of the highway position.

The Japanese army deployed curved artillery, and although the caliber was not as good as their field artillery group, it was enough to suppress the firepower and charge of the Chinese army.

Qin Dongsheng asked the flag-speaking soldiers to beat the flag-speaking and told the highway positions that they needed to suppress the left wing and their troops would attack the left wing.

After the two sides had contacted each other, the Chinese army was ready to expand the results of the war to the left and control more Japanese positions.

But as soon as the soldiers left the bunker, the Japanese artillery shells fell down in one go.

The position controlled by the Chinese army instantly filled with smoke. When Qin Dongsheng heard the explosion, he quickly picked up his telescope and observed the position.

However, there was smoke and dust everywhere, and there was no sign of a soldier.

"It's the Japanese artillery position. Didn't we knock down their artillery position?" Qin Dongsheng looked at the position anxiously.

The Japanese army's shelling just now must have caused considerable casualties to their troops.

The casualties at the position were not what Qin Dongsheng was most worried about, but the Japanese army organized a new group of artillery overnight. If Qin Dongsheng and others sent troops to the position, the Japanese army would take the opportunity to shell again, and they would completely stop the subsequent forces that were put into the position.

In other words, during the whole day, as long as Qin Dongsheng dared to organize a systemic force to go to the position, the Japanese artillery bombardment would inevitably cause them great casualties.

Half an hour later, the smoke and dust on the position gradually dissipated and people gradually saw them.

At this time, there was no war on the position, and it was obvious that the artillery fire just now successfully stopped the attack of the Chinese army.

But the Japanese army did not fight back, because the firepower on the highway positions was indestructible by their artillery fire.

"What's going on the position now? Does anyone know?" Qin Dongsheng asked loudly.

The staff in the command center looked at each other, and they didn't know how many casualties were on the positions and whether the left-wing troops still had troops.

"Report, frontier observation post report, our troops were completely suppressed by the Japanese firepower and could not continue to attack. The counterattack troops suffered huge casualties and may have lost their combat effectiveness."

Zhao Ziming's troops on the highway position could see every move on the Japanese position, and the Japanese also arranged observation posts on the mountain, so they could also see the every move of the Chinese army on the position.

When the Japanese observation post found that the Chinese army had left the bunker and was about to launch an attack, they immediately called for artillery fire to cover it.

Without shelter, soldiers leaving the shelter were either sacrificed or seriously injured, and lost their ability to attack in just a few minutes.

"Old man!" Qin Dongsheng gritted his teeth, "We need to dig a traffic trench, dig from our fortifications to the Japanese's position, and make it into a zigzag shape!"

If sending troops to the position on the surface will be completely exposed to the nose of the Japanese observation post, which is equivalent to telling the Japanese artillery.

If you do not transport troops to the position in time, there will be any fire vacancies at any time, and then the Japanese army will seize the opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Since they could not transport troops from the ground, they could only dig traffic trenches and provide cover for the troops as much as possible.

"Brig Commander, our fortifications are more than 800 meters closest to the Japanese position. It may take several days to use a zigzag fortification bunker."

When digging a traffic trench that can be transferred by soldiers, it is naturally about two meters deep, and one meter below this land is a large number of rocks, which is very difficult to dig.

Moreover, many officers were optimistic that the battle would end in another day or two, and there was no need to spend manpower and material resources to dig traffic trenches.

"We have to dig, and we have to dig day and night. First, dig one meter deep. The troops can crawl forward, and then we dig a little deeper."

If there were no artillery positions redeployed by the Japanese army, Qin Dongsheng also believed that they could end the battle in one or two days and completely open up the road to the highway position.

But a little change on the battlefield will cause unexpected difficulties for the attacking troops.

Qin Dongsheng directly arranged a battalion's troops, three companies were rotated and three shifts were in service. People could rest, but the fortifications could not be stopped.

The Artillery Regiment and Zhu Hongsi also heard about the front line being attacked by the Japanese army's intensive artillery fire.

Judging from the sound of artillery, it was not the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army, but the Japanese artillery run and the 75 mm caliber hill cannon.

"By various data calculations, the Japanese artillery positions were deployed on the other side of the highway position, and on the backscene surface, I'm afraid our artillery fire will not hit them."

Through a series of data calculations, the artillery regiment's staff analyzed the approximate location of the Japanese artillery positions.

"This is troublesome. We cannot hit their artillery positions, but their artillery fire can strike us at any time."

The firepower of the reverse slope is the most troublesome, and this is also a very big advantage of the curved artillery.

"There is only one way to destroy the Japanese artillery positions, which is to send a commando team to it."

"Assault team? Before the battle started, a battalion of the Third Brigade tried to enter the mountain, but was discovered by the Japanese post. According to their experience, Japanese posts were ambushed everywhere in the mountains. I dare say that the commando entered the mountain and was caught in the ambush of the Japanese before they even arrived near the Japanese artillery position."
