    The Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line did not retreat but advanced, making the Second Regiment of the Solitary Brigade, which was originally preparing for a Camel's Hump battle but had been deployed offensively, appear extremely passive.  ¡¾.// As soon as the gunfire rang out, not only did they appear to be in a hurry, but they also almost didn't get caught by the Japanese army who went against the grain and reached the 409 Highlands, which was only one kilometer away from Asahi Mountain in a straight line.

    If it weren¡¯t for the effective artillery support and aviation fire support, the chaotic Second Regiment¡¯s position would have been broken through by the more than 700 Japanese troops who attacked from the Qingshilizi front line like crazy and tried their best to attack Asahi Mountain.  When a battalion temporarily transferred by Sui Changqing and composed of the engineer company directly under the Second Regiment of the Sole Brigade arrived, the Second Regiment, which was caught off guard, stabilized its position.

    After receiving the report from the Second Regiment, Du Kaishan and Sui Changqing could hardly believe their eyes. They did not expect that after the water source along the Chaori Mountain line was cut off, the Japanese army not only did not abandon the Chaori Mountain fortress group.  Judging from the current development situation on the battlefield, they have made a move to shrink all the troops to the front line of Mount Asahi.

    This move of the Japanese army made Du Kaishan and Sui Changqing, two battle-hardened veterans, unable to figure out what the Japanese army's true fighting intentions were for a while.  Asahi Mountain without water source is now a dead place. How could the Japanese army suddenly abandon the Qingshilizi front line, neither breaking out nor clinging to the water source and Qingshilizi, which has the same ammunition and food reserves.  Instead, he desperately tried to counterattack on the Asahi Mountain front line?

    Du Kaishan knew clearly that after the Japanese troops in the Shenghongshan Fortress Group in the north and the Madashan Fortress Group in the south were eliminated, Chaori Mountain, which was not ranked high in the entire Dongning Fortress, became the support point of the entire Dongning Fortress.  and the fortress with the greatest firepower.

    Although the largest caliber artillery in Asahi Mountain is only a 75mm mountain cannon and a 150mm heavy mortar, among the Dongning fortress group that has lost 80% of its power, it has become the one with the strongest firepower, and the fortifications are also the most powerful.  One of the strongest.  But without the water source, how long can they hold on even if they retreat into Asahi Mountain?  Do they really want to die together?

    Although the true intention of the Japanese army's actions was not clear for a while, in Du Kaishan's view, the abnormality of the situation was a monster.  When the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line made such an action, there must be some corresponding tactical arrangement, and it could even be said to be to cover up some tactical purposes.

    After Du Kaishan carefully checked the terrain around Chaori Mountain, he did not find any abnormalities.  But Du Kaishan knew that the Japanese army had begun building fortresses here since 1934 and was extremely familiar with the terrain, mountains, rivers, and hydrology here.  The Japanese army definitely had their purpose in doing this.

    Du Kaishan, who had been thinking for a long time but could not figure out the true intention of the Japanese army, couldn't help but wonder: "Are the words of the Japanese army translator and labor captain a lie? The water source of Chaori Mountain is not only the one in Shenghongshan Fortress, but also another one.  Are there other water sources? The Japanese army transferred the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi line back to Asahi Mountain. Is it because they want to concentrate their forces and continue to hold on to the strongest position currently controlled by the Japanese army? "

    After thinking about it for a while, Du Kaishan gave up the idea.  He has already deployed troops outside Qingshilizi. When the opponent is already under his nose, it is simply impossible for the Japanese army to retreat smoothly from Qingshilizi to Chaori Mountain.  Unless their commander has a headache and uses hundreds of Japanese troops to test how many enemy troops there are on his possible breakout route to facilitate the breakout.  The unusual behavior of the Japanese army puzzled Du Kaishan.

    Although the tactical intention of the Japanese army's move has not been figured out, in any case, the Japanese army broke away from the favorable position with a complete fortification group and forced the front line of Qingshilizi.  It can even be said that retreating to the front line of Chaori Mountain regardless of the cost is a rare opportunity for Du Kaishan.  Although he did not guess the Japanese army's true combat intention, Du Kaishan knew that this was a rare opportunity for him.

    As long as the Japanese army that first eats the Qingshilizi line and forcibly retreats towards the Asahi Mountain line, the remaining Asahi Mountain and Mulu Mountain lines will be alone.  Even if he didn't fight, he would still trap them to death.  No matter what, let's eat this Japanese army first.  After making up his mind, Du Kaishan, in addition to leaving a reinforced battalion to continue besieging the Japanese fortress of Asahi Mountain, strengthened all the forces on hand to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops who broke through Qingshi Lizi.

    Although this Japanese army is powerful, after all, its military strength and firepower are at an absolute disadvantage.  Under the opponent's intensive firepower and siege from all sides, the effective forces quickly consumed the embers.  Only one kilometer after attacking Asahi Mountain, its tough retreat, regardless of casualties, finally came to a halt.  Facing the enemy's siege, the Japanese army, which had almost exhausted most of its combat troops on the road from Qingshilizi to Chaori Mountain, could no longer attack.

    The fact that the Japanese army can no longer attack does not mean that Du Kaishan will give up.  After the Japanese army stopped attacking and prepared to stay on the spot, Du Kaishan mobilizedThe team quickly attacked.  After an hour and a half of hard fighting, the last 200 or so remaining Japanese troops were compressed into a ravine.

    It¡¯s just that this Japanese army is very stubborn. Although they are compressed into a ravine with extremely unfavorable terrain and can almost be called a dead place, they are still resisting desperately.  At this time, the Asahi Mountain Fortress, which had been firing desperately at the slightest sign of trouble, was completely different from before, appearing unusually silent.

    When the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line reached five kilometers away from Chaori Mountain, their firepower gradually weakened.  When the Japanese troops in Qingshilizi made their final desperate resistance, they were completely silent.  Although the two Japanese troops were only one kilometer apart in the end, the Japanese troops in Asahi Mountain sat back and watched as their friendly forces were consumed little by little without any support or coordination, not even artillery support.

    It turned out that the Japanese army on Asahi Mountain, which could be described as an army of grass and trees, changed their previous approach after the friendly forces were already under their noses.  Not only did they not send troops to respond, but they sat back and watched the friendly forces being wiped out without firing a single shot. Even the original artillery support was stopped. This unusual behavior left Du Kaishan puzzled.

    Whether it was on the battlefield of the Guan Civil War or after being captured in the Northeast and joining the Anti-Japanese War, Du Kaishan had a lot of dealings with the Japanese army.  He knew that although the Japanese army often adopted the tactic of cutting off the tail of a gecko and abandoning part of its troops to block attacks when the battle situation was unfavorable, they would never leave the enemy alone.

    When Du Kaishan, who was thinking repeatedly but failed to understand their true intention, looked a little distracted, his eyes fell on a small river in front of his headquarters that should have originated from Chaori Mountain, but now had dried up.  Suddenly he was startled: "It's broken, the Japanese troops in Chaori Mountain have escaped."

    Looking at Du Kaishan's frown, Sui Changqing said with some confusion: "Commander, what's wrong? Seeing that the battle on the front line of Dongning Fortress is about to come to an end, why do you look so sad instead? Is it Wang?  What's the problem, Commander?"

    Hearing Sui Changqing's inquiry, Du Kaishan pointed to the dried river in front of him with a wry smile: "Old Sui, why didn't I think of it? The underground passages built by the Japanese in the central areas of each fortress group are not only connecting  It is more likely that an underground passage leading to other directions will be built around the fortress."

    "Why do you think I'm so stupid? We found tens of thousands of workers' bones in just a labor cemetery in Laochengzigou, Daduchuan. The Japanese secret documents seized in Dongning County also clearly show that the construction of the entire Dongning  The Japanese army used more than 170,000 laborers in the fortress, and now, apart from a few who were silenced by the Japanese army during our attack, and the tens of thousands of people we rescued, at least nearly 100,000 are still missing.  ¡±

    "It is impossible to say that all these workers were killed by the Japanese army after the fortress was completed. In other words, most of the workers' skeletons were built for the entire Dongning Fortress Group and were brutally enslaved to death by the Japanese army. So many people died.  , I¡¯m afraid we still have only a few words about this Dongning Fortress Group.¡±

    "How many underground fortifications are there in the entire Dongning? How many external tunnels and secret passages are there and where they lead? We simply can't find out in a short time. After these days of fighting, I even have the feeling  Feeling. This will be a mystery that no one else can figure out except the Japanese builders."

    "I only thought about the tenacity of the Japanese, but I forgot that the Japanese are not stupid, let alone stubborn. They will run away when the situation is unfavorable and nothing can be done. And if they really want to run away, then  His escape skills are quite superb.

    "First, the Japanese 29th Division ran away under No. 3's nose, and then the 12th Division played a trick on Wang Xiaoming and ran back around the Soviet Union. With so many lessons learned before me, I chose  Selective forgetfulness. Too careless.¡±

    "Old Sui, please report the situation here to the Commander of the Second Column and Chief of Staff Ma Chunsheng. And telegraph our troops left behind in Muling to be on alert at the junction of Muling and Dongning to guard against this wave of attacks.  The Japanese troops rushed into Muleng territory, and they also sent me a message to all troops heading south to be careful about their rear."

    At this point in Du Kaishan's words, Sui Changqing understood what he meant based on his experience, but he was a little shocked and said: "Commander, you said that there is a secret underground passage leading to the outside world in Chaori Mountain. And the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line suddenly went crazy.  , just to attract the attention of our army and cover the secret retreat of the Japanese troops in the Asahi Mountain Fortress? Is this impossible? "

    "This area of ??dozens of miles is now in our hands. If the Japanese army retreats through secret underground passages, they will have to withdraw directly to the Hunchun line. And from here to Hunchun, it is nearly a hundred kilometers away. This placeHow big of a project will it take to build the underpass and how much time will it take?  "

    "You must know that it is an extremely difficult project to excavate a tunnel of more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers underground without destroying the surface features. If it is as you guessed, then the entire Dongning  What we know about the fortress group is really not even superficial. Judging from what we know so far, the entire underground of Dongning may be dug into a spider web by the Japanese army. "
