When all the Japanese troops entered the fireside range of the two wing positions, the two wing positions opened fire respectively under the control of the main peak position. The Japanese troops who were attacking the main peak were suddenly deceived by the firepower coming from behind. The Japanese soldiers who were suffering from the firepower were immediately in chaos. The soldiers retreating down met the people attacking upwards. The 13th Japanese Regiment (Kumomoto) Regiment, which suffered major casualties in the chaos, saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so they could only temporarily retreat back to the starting position.

Seeing that the side firepower of the two wing positions failed to make his troops' offense fail, the furious Masao Kanda directly connected the radio call to the 18th Division and the 32nd Division. Two division commanders, Shintanaka Ichi and Ideto Ichizo, made excuses because the troops had not yet reached the designated attack launch position and were unable to restrain the attack.

Kanda Masato was so mute that he couldn't tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis at this moment. He knew the reason and had to finish the call after shouting and venting.

Although the attack on the 6th Division's attack on the main peak was frustrated, its subsequent troops had already stabilized the positions at the corner of the mountain. Because the artillery on the main peak position was deliberately hidden and stood by, the Japanese army determined that the Chinese defenders lacked artillery fire according to previous practices, so Japanese soldiers unscrupulously conducted public activities outside the range of the defenders' rifles.

Because the 6th Division's snatching merits destroyed the previous agreement of the three division commanders, Kunming was like a huge cake in front of the three division commanders. He was expected to attack Chongqing and must first capture Kunming to ensure the smooth flow of logistics. Facing the isolated Kunming defenders, what they have to consider now is how to defeat Song Yuhang, an old opponent who became famous as the ancients, which shamed the Burmese Front.

Although the 6th Division's attack in the morning hit the iron plate, the two division commanders of Shintanaka Ichi and Ideto Ichizo stubbornly believed that since the main peak's defense power is very strong, the two wings will inevitably be the weakness of defense.

From 1:00 p.m. on the 15th, the 18th Division and the 32nd Division launched tentative attacks on the left and right wing positions of Taiping Mountain. The 11th Division, which defended the left wing positions and the 12th Division, which defended the right wing positions, fought steadily under the supervision of Cui Zhijun, the commander of the infantry of the 200th Mechanized Brigade, and Luo Jiaxiang, the director of the brigade's political department.

After carefully observing the positions of the Chinese defenders, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth after the captain of the 55th Infantry Regiment of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army.

After an afternoon of tug-of-war, in the evening, the 18th Division of the Japanese army suddenly launched a fierce attack on the General Ridge, the key point of the left-wing position. The 34th Regiment of the 11th Division, which served as the defense of the General Ridge on the left-wing position, was stunned by the sudden attack of the Japanese army. With the influx of Japanese troops, after a short hand-to-hand combat in the trench assault, the General Ridge's Windward Line was lost.

Cui Zhijun, who discovered the crisis in the General Ridge, realized that the so-called attack of the Japanese army in the afternoon was actually to cover the transmission of troops to the perspective breakpoint under the steep slope! The tug-of-war in the afternoon actually allowed the Japanese army to lurk the forces of two brigades under his nose. The Japanese army occupying the Wind-Winging Line position without waiting for the follow-up troops to stabilize the position, and took advantage of the victory to rush towards the Second Battalion of the 34th Regiment, which was guarding the second position. The Second Battalion of the 34th Regiment did not expect that the Japanese army would break through the first line of defense so quickly, and the second battalion, which was caught off guard, suddenly became precarious.

Cui Zhijun decisively picked up the phone and asked Song Yuhang's central command post to directly access the heavy artillery battalion directly under the brigade to provide short firepower coverage on the frontier of the Junling Mountains, cooperate with the Second Battalion of the 34th Regiment and the Third Battalion launched a counterattack, and regained the Windward Line position in one fell swoop.

After receiving a request from Cui Zhijun, Song Yuhang hesitated for a moment. Although this heavy artillery battalion was built, it was actually an American heavy artillery regiment that was not fully equipped. This large American heavy artillery battalion was the key to his guarding of key points outside Kunming City. The heavy artillery battalion exposed its strength prematurely was not Song Yuhang's original intention. However, if the key points of the left-wing position portal were lost on the first day of the battle, it would also be a major blow to the morale of the army.

Three minutes later, Song Yuhang temporarily handed over the command of the heavy artillery camp directly under the brigade to Cui Zhijun. Time is life. Cui Zhijun immediately ordered the heavy artillery camp to fire two corrective bombs at the previously preset secret location!

With two long howling sounds from afar, two huge fire balls burst out from the crowd of Japanese soldiers. Then more than ten meters of smoke pillars rose into the sky. The earth was covered with the earth, and the stones mixed with broken bodies fell from the sky.

All the Japanese soldiers in the mainland were bleeded by the ears and noses for dozens of meters near the bounce point. They were all shocked! They were holding a telescope and smiling, and were smiling. The pupils of the 55th Infantry Corps, Genta Morigi, suddenly shrank. This was the first time he had seen such a powerful shelling! A sharp and uneasy thought arose.

The roaring sounded throughout the world! Five rapid fires at the 200th mechanized brigade heavy artillery camp covered the Japanese attacking troops indiscriminately.

The artillery shells fell down one after another and shook the General Ridge. In the instant of the explosion, the earth and rocks flew across the ground and the mountains were shaken. The smoke of gunpowder completely obliterated the Japanese attacking troops.

Genta Morimu suddenly became dumbfounded, and the telescope in his hand actually fell to the ground. Genta Morimu looked at the direction of the shelling with a desperate look. When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, the Chinese soldiers on the second line burst into shouts, but all the yellow figures before were lost. The combat staff standing beside Genta Morimu was surprised to find that the legs of the corps captain were trembling unconsciously!

As soon as the rapid and violent artillery fire stopped, the counterattack troops of the 34th Regiment took advantage of the situation to drive the Japanese army, who had been blown away from their positions, and recovered the lost positions in one fell swoop.

After the failure of the Japanese 18th Division's attack, the 32nd Division of the Japanese army made no achievements in the attack on the right wing. What made the leader of the Jingtuo Tiezang Division feel very shameful that he suffered nearly 100 casualties and did not even understand the main defense direction of the Chinese army.

The three division commanders who were frustrated in the offense not only did not intend to unite, but were still using their own wishful thinking!

In the early morning of the 16th, the Sixth Division, who had been resting for a night, launched a fierce attack on the main peak position of Taiping Mountain. In order to echo the attack, Masako Kanda not only used all the artillery he had, but also made a request to the front for aircraft to assist in the war.

While the Japanese 6th Division was fighting in full swing, the positions of the 18th Division and the 32nd Division were extremely quiet. When the 6th Division was frustrated and fell into a dilemma, the 18th Division and the 32nd Division on the left and right wings launched attacks one after another.

Xu Tuan reported the strange performance of the Japanese army to Song Yuhang. Song Yuhang immediately realized that the Japanese attacking force this time was likely to lack a unified command organization. He did not think that the Japanese Burmese Front Commander Masasa Kawabian made such a low-level strategic deployment mistake.

At noon, the 6th Division requested the assisted aircraft not to find the ground guidance flag of the 6th Division. Instead, it bombed and strafed according to the ground guidance flag of the 18th Division. Kamikazu Kanda almost cursed. Although the plane arrived, it discovered the ground guidance flag of the 6th Division, it accidentally dropped the bomb halfway up the mountain due to time differences, and the Japanese army that was attacking was sobbing.

For this reason, Kada Masato directly attacked the lawsuit to the Front Command. At this time, Kawabian Masato learned about the chaos ahead. After scolding all relevant personnel, Kawabian Masato ordered the three divisions to cooperate and urged the 60th Mixed Brigade, which was responsible for the safety of supply, to effectively ensure the supply of materials, weapons and ammunition in the front.

In the early morning of the 17th, after emergency consultations by three division liaison officers, the total attack time was set at 4 a.m. This is the most exhausting period of the human biological clock. I believe that after two days of fierce battles, the Chinese army serving as defense must be very tired, and the darkness before dawn can effectively cover the mobilization of Japanese troops.

At 4:00 a.m., the Japanese army concentrated all artillery fires from the 6th Division, the 18th Division, the 32nd Division and the 10th Artillery Regiment from three aspects to start to carry out continuous artillery blockade on the positions on both wings of the main peak of Taiping Mountain.

The fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army woke up Song Yuhang from his sleep. When he learned that the Japanese army gave up the main peak position and attacked the positions on both wings, Song Yuhang's expression changed. What made him puzzled was what the Japanese wanted to do? Song Yuhang stood in front of the sand table and stared at the terrain on the sand table. Could it be that the Japanese army wanted to eliminate the side firepower of the two wings of the main peak? Occupying the positions on both wings has no value or significance to the Japanese army, because the main peak of Taiping Mountain can completely block the Japanese army's threat to Kunming with its unique geographical advantage.

The 18th Division and the 32nd Division of the Japanese army put the most elite corps into battle as soon as they came up, and they still maintained artillery strikes on the defending positions during the attack. The 11th Division served as the temporary defense of the two wings. This time, the 12th Division thoroughly witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. The casualties of the troops suddenly increased in geometric numbers. The fierce battle was 11 noon, and some officers and soldiers on the front line were shaken. At this time, Song Yuhang was deployed in various regiments, and the military police supervision team of the battalion played a role. After shooting dozens of officers and soldiers who tried to retreat on their own, they immediately stabilized the battle situation. The Japanese army, which had achieved some results, relied on their tenacious fighting spirit to fight with the defenders with the help of the terrain, and thus continuously compressed the defenders' positions.

At 12 noon, the Japanese artillery fire suddenly made adjustments and launched violent artillery bombardment on the main peak position. The Japanese army focused the artillery group on the fortification group halfway up the mountain. With the sky and earth cracking in more than half an hour, the fortifications located halfway up the main peak had basically been destroyed. The broken limbs and broken arms of Chinese soldiers could be seen everywhere, and many Chinese soldiers were shocked to death in the anti-aircraft artillery holes.

After the Japanese artillery attack, the locust-like Japanese troops jumped up in dense crowds and swarmed up with slogans. At this moment, the two companies of the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Regiment, which were guarding the fortifications on the hillside, were almost gone. More than a dozen surviving soldiers dug out a large anti-aircraft artillery hole under the leadership of a platoon leader.

The platoon leader with a baby face, regardless of the blood on his face, and with several soldiers, he used his hands to dig the hot earth and rocks with his hands. Even though his hands were cut into several holes by shrapnel, he was completely unaware.
