The Japanese troops who attacked the position of the second battalion failed to escape, and were either stabbed to death in the position or knocked down in front of the position, and the battlefield advantage obtained by the Japanese army disappeared completely, and the soldiers of the reserve battalion of the second battalion to reinforce took the initiative to take on the task of supplementing the defensive line.

He Kun quickly entered the recaptured position with three reinforced platoons, and the Japanese troops visible in front of the position shot at each other.

As soon as the position of the second battalion was restored, Zhang Wei ordered the heavy machine gun that suppressed the shooting to return to the original heavy machine gun position, so as to prevent the retreating Japanese troops from the second battalion's position from threatening the position of the preparatory battalion.

Needless to say, the Japanese troops who directly attacked the positions of the preparatory battalions did not launch a second assault after they suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese troops who fought with the first battalion did not have many troops, nor were they able to overcome the positions of the first battalion, and the main Japanese forces attacking the positions of the second battalion were lost, and the Japanese troops in front of the entire defense line almost did not make great progress.

The attacking Japanese troops continued to retreat, only the infantry guns and light and heavy machine guns were still firing normally, after hand-to-hand combat and the heavy damage of the preparatory battalion, most of the sharp energy of the attacking Japanese army had been consumed, and the Japanese officers who commanded the attack could only unwillingly collect the troops while continuing to open fire on the positions of the defenders, and the two sides fired at each other for a short while, and the Japanese commander knew that he could not make a big breakthrough, so he could only order the attacking troops to retreat.

Zhang Wei observed in the trenches, the Japanese offensive has declined, this attack, basically can be said to have ended in failure, suddenly, the Japanese infantry artillery began to fire fiercely, regardless of accuracy, it was completely covering the shooting, one by one the shells did not have the right head to explode inside and outside the defenders' trenches, heavy machine guns and grenadiers also cooperated with the fire, the soldiers who resisted in the trenches in an orderly manner have bent down to avoid the shelling, Zhang Wei also squatted down, the Japanese infantry shells are not high, they all fell inside and outside the trenches, and the damage to the troops is not large, But it also affected shooting.

A loud "boom" came from the right-flank position, and when I looked up, I saw that thick smoke had risen from the position of the first battalion of friendly troops on the right flank.

"The devil wants to retreat!" Someone shouted on the position, only to see that all the Japanese troops in front of the position retreated, clearly to retreat, just hit the position of the first battalion was the 41 type mountain artillery directly under the Japanese wing, obviously also to cover the retreat of the attacking Japanese army, the first battalion of friendly troops on the position of the 75 mountain shells constantly fell near the position, the power of the mountain artillery shells was much greater than that of the 92 infantry, the first battalion of the shells suffered some casualties, the firepower on the position was also greatly weakened.

"Pass the word, hide the main thing, don't patronize and lose your life!" Zhang Wei shouted at the top of his voice, the Japanese artillery bombardment was too loud, and the surrounding soldiers passed Zhang Wei's orders in turn, and now the attacking Japanese troops had to withdraw, and the covering fire was extremely fierce, and there was no need for the preparation battalion to fight to the death with them, and it was not worth it to lose their lives for this group of retreating Japanese troops.

Although the wing artillery squadron of the 59th Wing only had two mountain guns left, it was now firing suppressive fire, not attacking the firing point, and the two guns opened fire violently in a rapid manner, and a large number of falling shells quickly covered the positions of the two battalions.

The Japanese infantry artillery and the rear wing belonged to the 75 mountain artillery to provide artillery cover for the retreating Japanese army, and the attacking Japanese infantry left a squadron of troops to cover the retreat of the others, and at the same time left two heavy machine gun squads behind the hall, with the infantry squadron of the cover, suppressed the shooting of the defenders' positions, it has to be said that the Japanese retreat was quite organized, the main force of the infantry retreated first, the infantry artillery also began to retreat after firing together with the wing artillery for a period of time, and the last cover was the Japanese squadron that strengthened the four heavy machine guns, The positions of the defenders were suppressed with light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and the various units of the attacking troops retreated one by one, alternating cover.

At this time, the battle basically entered a useless time, under Zhang Wei's order, most of the people were mainly hidden, a small number of soldiers looked for an opportunity to shoot machine guns at the Japanese army, knocking out individual Japanese soldiers, the position continued to fire and shoot only a company of grenadiers, the grenadier group did not need to be exposed, just squatted in the trench and threw grenades, after a while, the last Japanese squadron that served as cover was killed by a grenadier A light machine gun, and more than a dozen corpses were dropped, and then under the cover of artillery fire, quickly disengaged from contact.

After the artillery bombardment, the gunpowder smoke filled the entire defense line, and the Japanese shelling continued for another five minutes after the infantry withdrew, until there was no longer any living person in front of the defenders' position, and the shelling stopped.

As soon as the Japanese shelling stopped, out of insurance, everyone did not dare to act rashly, and they all stayed in the trenches honestly, except for the sound of coughing, the shouts and scolding of individual soldiers.

Zhang Wei patted the soil on his military uniform, stood up, and saw that there were no Japanese troops in the position, only the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and the weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Japanese army, which showed that the Japanese army had retreated, and judging from the intensity of the battle just now, the Japanese attack should be temporarily stopped, and there will be no large-scale counterattack in a short time.

"Don't nest up, fix the fortifications, count the casualties!"

After repelling the Japanese attack and determining the safety, the soldiers in the defense line began to prepare fortifications, count the battle casualties, and the things in the position were well arranged.

Zhang Wei walked to the traffic ditch leading to the 82 mortar position, walked along the traffic ditch to the mortar firing position, and walked to the traffic ditch of the mortar position, Zhang Wei's feet were all loose sand, and at first it was the floating soil that was blown out after the shelling, and in the battle just now, the mortar position was solidly shelled, first it was directly bombarded by the 92 infantry artillery attached to the Japanese infantry, and then the wing artillery of the rear of the Japanese army was put into the shelling of the position, and the mortar position in the rear was afraid that it was also shelled.

In the current situation, this mortar platoon is the only artillery support fire on the entire defense line, and Zhang Wei has to take a look at this, there is still smoke in the mortar circular firing position not far away, and it seems that it has been blown up lightly.
