In the early morning of 15 October, the main force of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, the headquarters of the 70th Brigade, and the 10th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 14th Mountain Artillery Wing, which were the first to arrive, completed all deployments, and the 10th Heavy Artillery Wing began shelling Taiping Mountain at 3 a.m.
Kanda Masashi launched a fierce attack on the key points of Kunming's barrier defense without waiting for the deployment of the 18th and 32nd Divisions, and he had a preconceived posture.
Kanda Masang's actions angered the commander of the 18th Division, Nitta Nakachi, and the commander of the 32nd Division, Iide Tetsuzo, everyone knew that the Kunming defenders at this moment were weak and could not withstand the onslaught of the three divisions at all, so the three division commanders privately reached a gentleman's agreement, under the premise of not violating the deployment of the base camp, the three divisions and regiments would deploy each other to assist and support each other in the capture of Kunming, and the first credit for the capture of Kunming would be transferred to the Sixth Division, and the spoils captured after the war would be equally distributed among the three divisions.
However, the attack of the 6th Division broke this agreement, and Nitta Chuichi and Iide Tetsuzo had no other way but to scold Kanda Masashi for not being trustworthy.
At 5 o'clock in the morning of 15 October, the sky was very gloomy, black and oppressive dark clouds filled the sky, the Japanese artillery fire that had lasted for nearly two hours began to extend, and the sharp horn sound began to sound on the main position and the positions on both flanks of Taiping Mountain, and a machine gun was dragged from the bunker to the excavated firing bunker, and the chain of yellow heavy machine gun bullets emitted a glittering cold light.
The Yamaguchi Brigade of the 1st Wing of the 6th Division quickly formed a skirmish line and began to move towards the main peak position after the artillery fire was extended As a tentative attack, the Yamaguchi Brigade stretched the skirmish line very wide, and the strength of one brigade almost covered the entire line of the main peak position of Taiping Mountain.
Liang Chao in the main peak bunker repeatedly observed that the sparse attack formation of the Japanese army was entering the range of infantry through the diving artillery mirror, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Tu'an, who was on the side, turned the artillery mirror to observe, and his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Division Commander Liang, order the main supporting firepower points of the forward position not to shoot, hide and stand by."
Liang Chao asked with a suspicious expression: "Is there anything wrong with Chief of Staff Xu?"
Xu Tu'an couldn't be polite anymore, and pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said sternly: "This is the Japanese testing firepower, and it is faster to immediately withdraw the troops on the surface of the position to the tunnel, and it will be too late if it is too late."
Liang Chao quickly picked up the phone, and was just about to call the 30th Regiment of the Front.
Suddenly, a storm of gunfire rang out from the front.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground almost simultaneously.
Under the defenders' machine-gun spray of the fire snake.
The Japanese began to retreat in a panic.
Huang Rende, commander of the 30th Regiment of the 10th Division, excitedly said to Liang Chao on the phone: "Division."
The little devil's attack was repelled by us."
"Bastard, can't you see that this is a Japanese temptation, immediately surface positions, troops to withdraw, quickly understand," Liang Chao snapped and slammed the phone back on the seat.
He didn't get the jackpot, but was scolded violently, and Huang Rende put down the phone with a black face.
The younger brother and a few staff officers who were waiting for the regiment deputy with a smile on the side and said angrily: "Damn."
Walking at night and stepping on stinky dog shit.
Unlucky, I got home, and ordered the troops above the position to withdraw."
At this time.
The forward position of the 30th Regiment was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.
The Japanese ground heavy artillery wing used dense artillery fire to fire three rounds of rapid fire at the defenders' positions.
Later, the mountain artillery unit used a single artillery to cooperate with a heavy machine gun to carry out close and direct aiming.
Destroy the previously exposed Chinese defenders' firing points and bunkers.
When the Japanese stopped shelling.
The smoke and dust from the explosion took a long time to dissipate.
There was silence on the forward positions of the 1st Battalion of the 30th Regiment.
There was no movement in sight, except for bomb craters and severed limbs.
In less than two hours.
It is expected to hold out for five to eight days.
A reorganized and reinforced camp was deployed, and the old slope position was lost.
The 30th Regiment of the 10th Provisional Division, which was in charge of the defensive area, launched three counterattacks in a row.
In the end, because of the fierce blockade of the Japanese artillery fire, the troops suffered heavy casualties.
After learning that the Laopokou position was lost, Song Yuhang braved the danger of the Japanese plane appearing at any time to reach Liang Chao's headquarters, and when Huang Rende, the commander of the 30th Regiment who was tied up by five flowers, was pushed in, Song Yuhang glanced at Huang Rende and sighed slightly, and ordered the guards to untie the rope, giving Huang Rende a chance to make meritorious contributions.
For a temporary soldier over 50 years old, with a wrinkled face and pale temples, Song Yuhang was satisfied that Huang Rende was not frightened by the Japanese artillery and ran away, and was able to launch several counterattacks by the Japanese army in an attempt to regain the lost position.
Speaking from his heart, Song Yuhang thinks that Huang Rende is a hundred times stronger than those runaway generals who are insiders in civil wars and laymen in foreign wars, at least he is a man with enthusiasm.
Since the fortifications of the Laopokou position had been completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, Song Yuhang terminated the night attack planned by Liang Chao, and he realized from the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army that the Japanese army was trying to win quickly, so he ordered the 30th Regiment to shrink the defensive front, so as to highlight the positions on both sides, although this defensive practice increased the difficulty of the defense on both flanks, if the Japanese forced to attack the main peak position.
Then it will be heavily killed by the side-fire from the extended positions on both sides.
The Japanese troops who had seized the Laopokou position did not stop, but concentrated a wing of ground forces to launch a concentrated attack on the main position of the 30th Regiment located halfway up the main mountain.
At the forefront of the Japanese troops, more than 200 Japanese non-commissioned officers stripped off their shirts and rushed to the front with rifles with bayonets, while the defenders used light machine guns to organize mobile fire to concentrate on strafing the Japanese death squads.
Blood was splashing indiscriminately, and the Japanese soldiers who had been shot kept falling down the hillside.
From time to time, rolling down the corpse will cause a flurry.

The Japanese daredevils maintained a firm pace, completely disregarding life, lined up in a straggler formation to meet the bullets fired by the Chinese soldiers.
Driven by the demonstration of the daredevils, although the Japanese soldiers fell under the rain of bullets from the Chinese soldiers, the Japanese still managed to reach within 50 meters of the defenders' position.
Within a distance of 50 meters of death, the Japanese forced a second assault and all ended in failure, and then the Japanese began to use the terrain to entangle with the Chinese defenders, many Japanese soldiers piled up the bodies of their companions as a bunker breastwall, and the Japanese grenadiers and mortars intersected in the air with the grenades thrown by the defenders.
The trenches defended by the 30th Regiment were constantly hit by Chinese soldiers in the fierce fire, and the Japanese mountain artillery and grenadiers inflicted a large number of casualties on the Chinese soldiers.
Huang Rende brandished the Stuart submachine gun in his hand and shouted loudly, brothers, resist me In the face of the fierce battle, Huang Rende's legs had already begun to tremble, but as soon as he remembered Song Yuhang's sentence of either dying in front of the battle or dying in military law, he immediately cheered up again.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling approached, Huang Rende felt that he was hit hard by something, and he was dug out of the soil by several staff officers, and then he found that the regimental deputy who was crawling on his body was already bloody and fleshy.
"Dezi Medic, where the fuck are the medics," Huang Rende shook desperately as he shook his blood-stained and broken body Huang Rende, who was dragged to the bunker by the confidential staff officer, saw the corpses of the medic who had fallen in the trench in a trance, and one of the girls was still looking at the sky with a pair of unwilling big eyes.
Huang Rende turned on the confidential staff officer, and yelled at a lieutenant and combat staff officer sent by the 200th Mechanized Brigade before the war: "Transfer all the troops directly under the third battalion and the regiment, Lao Tzu and the little devil of the dog day are fighting."
The combat staff officer, whose face was mixed with gunpowder smoke and blood, replied loudly with a stop Czech ZB light machine gun: "No one is allowed to transfer reserves without an order from the division headquarters."
"Lao Tzu, I'll kill you," Huang Rende waved impulsively, and the submachine gun in his hand was stopped by the confidential staff officer again Huang Rende, who realized that he had lost his temper, was stunned for a moment, and then said to the dozens of lightly injured people waiting to be transferred in the bunker: "Brothers, look at today's posture, our masters can't go, just now my younger brother Dezi has already taken the first step, today the country hates the family hatred, I want to calculate all the little devils, die in front of the battle, it is a hero who tells stories on weekdays, for the country and the people, retreat and let others be beaten to death is a bad seed, and if you die, you are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave to let the little devils see the power of our red rice town."
Dozens of wounded soldiers rushed to the position with their weapons and screaming under the instigation of Huang Rende, and a dozen seriously wounded people rolled from the position to the Japanese charging queue from the position with a bundle of grenades.
A veteran soldier who had a leg broken by the explosion gasped and said to a young soldier next to him who was blinded by a grenadier explosion: "Niuzi, help Uncle Me, push me into the position" The young soldier had just pushed the veteran into the field, and several vicious bullets pierced his chest, knocking the blind cow to the ground, and the cow, who had been shot in the shoulder, groped for a while on the corpse of the veteran, and finally found the bundle of blood-stained grenades.
The cow who held the fire ring in his hand hesitated for a moment and then suddenly roared, turned out of the position and rolled towards the Japanese army, and after more than ten seconds, a loud bang accompanied by the broken weapon rose into the air
