At noon, Zhong Yi personally rushed to the Pingfeng Mountain battlefield.

At this time, Jiulong Mountain in the front had been lost.

Not only was the Jiulong Mountain position lost, but there were only a few officers and soldiers stationed in Jiulong Mountain.

After the Japanese army changed its tactics, the Coast Defense Corps obviously could not come up with a good response. It was almost noon that there were only more than ten people left in the first company stationed in Jiulong Mountain.

As a last resort, Zhong Yi had to let the 1st Company withdraw from the battle.

After capturing Jiulong Mountain, the Japanese army continued to attack Pingfeng Mountain, Wanzhang Mountain and Weituo Mountain at the same time. Obviously, after tasting the sweetness of Jiulong Mountain, the Japanese planned to reuse the same tricks and apply the tactics of Jiulong Mountain to Pingfeng Mountain, Wanzhang Mountain and Weituo Mountain.

By the time Zhong Yi arrived, the Japanese had just launched the second wave of attack!

Through the telescope's vision, Zhong Yi clearly saw that about half a team of Japanese infantry actually opened the scattered soldiers line that was more than 200 meters wide and rushed over from the northern foot of Pingfeng Mountain.

Behind the Japanese infantry, more than a dozen light and heavy aircraft were mounted from both wings to provide fire support.

The 1st Platoon of the 2nd Company was guarding the foot of Pingfeng Mountain. As soon as the officers and soldiers of the 1st Platoon emerged, they immediately attracted fierce fire from the Japanese machine gun. Faced with the Japanese's brutal machine gun firepower, the 1st Platoon could only use machine guns to counterattack.

However, the machine guns and mortars of the 1st Platoon immediately attracted even more brutal countermeasures.

Grenade launchers three hundred meters away, mortars five hundred meters away, and chariot defense cannons further away, 92 infantry cannons and even mountain cannons fired at the same time, pouring rows of shells onto the position of the first platoon.

In just a moment, nearly half of the machine guns and mortars of the 1st platoon of the 2nd Company were lost.

"Retreat!" Zhong Yi immediately turned around and said to the 2nd Battalion Commander Qin Dingyong, "Retreat all the machine guns and mortars. There are no strong fortifications. Our machine guns and mortars have an absolute advantage in artillery firepower in the Japanese, and can only become living targets, so withdraw them all, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

"Yes." Qin Dingyong agreed and quickly asked the communication soldiers to go down and pass the order.

After receiving Qin Dingyong's order, the remaining machine guns in the first platoon and the only remaining mortar were quickly retreated to the back of Pingfeng Mountain.

However, after losing the support of machine guns and artillery, the situation of the 1st Platoon became even more difficult.

With the support of the Japanese machine gun fire, nearly half a team of Japanese soldiers quickly approached the defensive position.

This time, the Japanese no longer rashly entered the position to fight with the Coast Defense Corps in hand-to-hand combat, but stayed at a distance of about fifty meters and kept throwing grenades.

After throwing the grenade, the Japanese infantry launched a charge again.

Soon, the Japanese infantry broke into the defensive positions of the National Army.

The tragic hand-to-hand battle was staged again at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain.

Through the telescope's vision, Zhong Yi can clearly see that although the second company and the first platoon have the advantage in numbers, he is at a clear disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat.

The reason for this is very simple, the first row has no firepower advantage.

Yesterday afternoon in Jiulong Mountain, the reason why the 1st Company 1st Platoon was able to defeat the same number of Japanese in hand-to-hand combat was mainly because of the firepower advantage of submachine guns. Nearly half of the Japanese had been piled up before they were contacted. But now, the firepower team of the 1st Platoon has evacuated the position, so the 1st Platoon has no firepower advantage.

A few minutes later, the hand-to-hand battle at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain ended.

Nearly thirty Japanese infantry who broke into the position were all stabbed to death, but the first platoon of the 1st Company was basically destroyed. There were at most fifty people left in more than 100 officers and soldiers, and many of them were even on the same table.

The matter was not over yet, and the Japanese soldiers launched another attack.

Almost half a team of Japanese infantrymen bent down from the attacking position 300 meters away, holding the 38th cover with a bayonet, and once again launched an attack on the northern foot of Pingfeng Mountain.

Seeing this, Qin Dingyong said hatefully: "Seat, I will take the second row and exchange the first row for the first row!"

"No need." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "I changed the two rows and it was just about guarding for half an hour. It was useless. The Japanese have changed their tactics, so we must make corresponding changes."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "Tell me the order that the first platoon will resist a little, then withdraw from the position and retreat halfway up the mountain. The second platoon responsible for guarding the halfway up the mountain should not fight with the Japanese. If you resist a little, then retreat to the ridge defense line. Then the third platoon will not fight with the Japanese. If the battle is almost done, give up Pingfeng Mountain."

"What?" Qin Dingyong was stunned, "Give up Pingfeng Mountain?"

Li Weifan, who was born in the officer training regiment, also said in confusion: "Shen Zuo, if you give up Pingfeng Mountain so quickly, it will be difficult to defend Wanzhang Mountain and Xituo Mountain behind it. If Wanzhang Mountain and Xituo Mountain fall again, we will only have one Phoenix Mountain to serve as a barrier, and the situation will be difficult at that time."

"Execute the command." Zhong Yi did not explain too much.

Until now, the Japanese have realized the advantages of their Coast Defense Corps and have also made targeted deployments. However, if the Japanese think that this will defeat the Coast Defense Corps, it would be too naive!

Because the firepower advantages of light weapons can be used in addition to defense, they can also be used in offense!

The real battle has just begun!

...

Nearly evening, the captain of the 21st Japanese Infantry Regiment, Tatsumi Katano, accompanied by Jiro Aso, the captain of the 1st Infantry Battalion, slowly climbed to the top of Pingfeng Mountain.

I saw that there were shells and large pits left after the explosion of aviation bombs.

There are even smoke in several craters, and several phalanxes can be seen in the scorched earth.

In addition to the faint smell of gunpowder smoke, there is also a strong smell of burnt smell and bloody smell in the air.

Most people don't like this smell, but Kazuno Tatsumi is an exception.

He sniffed a deep breath of turbid air full of burnt smell and bloody smell. Kazunoda saw a sigh of moaning from the depths of his throat. The situation seemed to be like a tube of opium just now.

"It's so beautiful." Kanano sighed, "What a magnificent scene."

"Hayi." Aso Jiro said, "Captain, the advancement of the Imperial Army is simply unstoppable. If nothing unexpected happens, you can advance to Camel Town tomorrow evening! At noon the day after tomorrow, you can almost reach the Jiangbei District of Yinjiang. Then in about two days, the battle of Yinjiang will end."

"Joesi." Katano nodded happily, and continued, "But you still can't be careless."

"It's okay." Jiro Aso waved his hand and said calmly, "Before the Imperial Army's new offensive tactics, the Chinese Army could no longer organize effective resistance at all, and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated."

Katano thought deeply and immediately laughed.
