On May 5, at 15:32 in the afternoon, the Japanese 112th Infantry Wing launched an attack on the nameless heights despite the support of the following and grenadiers of the artillery and grenadiers.
Due to the small angle of the southern slope, the hillside extends no more than 100 meters, after several successive assaults failed, the Japanese artillery group immediately implemented the barrage Xu, the Japanese soldiers went crazy and rushed violently, the first line of defense of the Chinese defenders into the perimeter was soon shaken under the onslaught of the Japanese army, because the positive slope was bound to bear the direct fire of the Japanese army, the Chinese defenders also suffered heavy casualties while bravely killing the enemy.
Gradually, the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army also arrived at a suitable position and began to suppress the fire on the top of the hill, the Japanese infantry broke through the first line of defense in one fell swoop, the fierce desperate fighting and huge casualties between the Chinese and Japanese sides attracted everyone's attention to the breakthrough on the southern slope, from the Japanese 112th Infantry Wing launched an attack in less than an hour, the Japanese army already had a brigade and two squadrons were forced to withdraw from the battle because of more than 80 casualties, The unusually brutal battle turned the southern slope of the Nameless Heights into a meat grinder, with shouts of killing, gunfire, explosions, and dying groans mingling together, and blood flowed from the corpses that had been thrown to the ground and seeped into the dirt beneath the blocks.
A few minutes after Zhang Hua, the commander of the Second Mountain Infantry Brigade, left, Zhang Tiansheng received a call from He Tingren, chief of staff of the Second Brigade.
"What kind of dignified brigade commander personally went to the front line, pulled him down for me, pulled him down for me" Zhang Tiansheng's last sentence almost roared.
Due to the tacit understanding and unity of the brigade command squad, He Tingren did not report to Zhang Tiansheng that the first and second battalions of the left flank position were in danger of being divided and surrounded by the Japanese army, and he believed that Zhang Hua would naturally understand when he reached the front line, and when the time came, the retreat would be a matter of course.
Zhang Tiansheng wanted to pass Zhang Hua's call, but was interrupted by the sound of artillery fire without saying a few words, Zhang Hua said that he was just going to the position to see the situation in person, and after hesitating for a while, Zhang Hua expressed the concern of Chief of Staff He Tingren, and immediately redeployed if necessary.
Zhang Hua's words shocked Tiansheng into a cold sweat, and the operational staff officers immediately marked the location of the three infantry wings and the two mixed brigades of the 55th Division, the main attack force of the Japanese army, according to Zhang Hua's dictation.
According to the observation points on the main forward position, the two infantry wings of the Japanese 18th Division appeared to be moving in the direction of Naba.
"This is simply Xiang Zhuang sword dancing in Peigong" Zhang Tiansheng broke out in a cold sweat, obviously the Japanese army had successfully attracted all their attention to the offensive and defensive battle on the south side of the nameless heights, he had always felt that the Japanese troops on the south side were too much, it turned out that the real purpose of the Japanese army was to break through the first line of defense of the defenders at the same time to send a force to cut off the connection between the two battalions of the second brigade of the mountain infantry that were deployed close to the railway line and the nameless heights, After cooperating with the two wings of the 18th Division to block between the city of Naba, the Japanese mixed into the 1st Regiment could take advantage of the situation to eat the two battalions that were isolated and helpless and attacked on all sides.
Zhang Tiansheng understood the true intentions of the Japanese army.
They're plucking peanut shells.
In order to be able to quickly capture the nameless heights.
The most effective way for the Japanese army to do this was to cut off the flanks of the Unnamed Highlands and cut off the connection between the city of Naba and the Nameless Highlands.
Cut off all support.
Zhang Tian was anxious to contact the two battalions in front of the 2nd Mountain Infantry Brigade.
In the end, it was Zhang Hua who contacted the ground.
Zhang Hua arrived at the front line.
Zhang Tiansheng directly ordered: "Dahua should immediately withdraw the troops to Naba, and it must be fast."
The army is preparing to encircle you."
Zhang Hua held the communicator tightly and didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhang Tiansheng is the governor of his place. and like his big brother.
Nominally he was an adjutant.
But in life, Zhang Tiansheng always took care of him.
Just come and marry his wife, A-Ning is the old head of the old regiment who runs the door.
There was a long pause.
In Zhang Tianshengdi's constant call sign.
Zhang Hua came back to his senses.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Old Leader."
A large number of Japanese troops have appeared between our headquarters and the unnamed heights.
It's even more impossible to go back to the city.
At least two wings of Japanese troops have formed a defensive line between our headquarters and Naba. ” "Hold your ground.
I will send the Third Brigade to support you.
Break through the Japanese resistance.
You also take advantage of the situation to break through" Zhang Tiansheng was a little incoherent.
He served as a company commander, and Zhang Hua served as a guard.
He was the regiment commander, and Zhang Hua was the guard company commander.
He was promoted to division commander and promoted Zhang Hua to brigade commander. also personally chose a family for him.
He has always been in his heart, this little soldier he brought out from his hometown, as his younger brother.
Zhang Huadi's tone suddenly became very serious and said, "Please take the overall situation first, teacher."
I am a member of the National Revolutionary Army.
Fight against external humiliation, and kill yourself to become a benevolent horse.
Anin worshipped Take care of her, help her choose a good family, just say I'm sorry for her, and you can promise me one thing, teacher commander."
As soon as Zhang Hua called Brigade Commander Zhang Tiansheng, Zhang Tiansheng came back to his senses, with the combat effectiveness of the Third Brigade, whether it could break through the resistance of the two wings of the Japanese army in a short period of time, and even if the price paid for the breakthrough, whether it would disrupt all the technical deployment arrangements, Zhang Tiansheng Town hesitated.
He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Say it."

Zhang Hua took a deep breath and said: "The rocket artillery battalion will leave me a chance to fire a salvo, not more than once, but it must be me." ” As soon as Zhang Hua's words came out, Zhang Tiansheng's head buzzed, he knew what Zhang Hua wanted to do, he wanted to stop it but couldn't say it, Zhang Hua's words had already revealed the meaning of goodbye in the next life.
Zhang Tiansheng's nose was one: snorted and agreed, Zhang Hua smiled heartily and said: "Please rest assured, the brothers of our mountain division are all steel and iron bones, and the little devil has to break off a row of his front teeth even if he wants to gnaw it." ” Zhang Tiansheng knew that Zhang Hua would definitely resist to the end, and they would do everything possible to delay the time for the main force of the Japanese army to turn back, but in the case of the extremely disparity between the enemy and our forces, as the division commander, he had no choice but to watch all this happen.
Yokota Ichiro's 1st Infantry Wing was on the way to follow up and prepare for the attack when he suddenly received an order from Hiroshi Akiuchi, and the troops immediately inserted diagonally from the breach, separating the Chinese defenders' positions on the outside of the left flank from the nameless heights.
When the 1st team was interspersed in place, Yokota Ichiro was surprised to find that there was a Chinese defender position on a small hill dozens of meters away from the railway line, and about 2,000 Chinese soldiers were trapped there.
After the joy, Yokota Ichiro also realized his bad situation, there were at least two wings in the direction of Naba City, and whether the trapped squadron broke through or waited for the high ground to respond, the 43rd team must be the first to bear the brunt.
Zhang Hua could still speak to Zhang Tiansheng during the call, but he couldn't laugh after the call ended, and the strength of the Japanese army's three infantry wings of a mixed brigade surrounded his first and second battalions on a small hill on the left flank of the unnamed heights near the railway line.
The original intention of Hua's deployment of troops here was to control the road and block the possible attack of the Japanese army in the direction of Naba, but he never expected that the Japanese would take advantage of this to boldly divide and surround the two battalions he had arranged to go forward.
Under the direct command of Aoki Takuichi, the five infantry brigades of the 1C5th Regiment formed a half-moon shape, and under the cover of the Japanese artillery group, they began to continuously test the defenders, intending to find the fire support points and defensive gaps of the Chinese defenders.
Under the personal leadership of brigade commander Zhang Hua, the two battalions of Chinese soldiers in the defensive position killed and wounded a large number of Japanese stragglers and officers with snipers as the main force, and paid the price of nearly 100 officers and soldiers, but they could not even figure out the firepower configuration of the Chinese defenders.
The Japanese infantry took advantage of the height difference of the railway embankment to use the railway line as an attack position, after crossing the railway line, the Japanese infantry immediately began to disperse under the command of the officer and the military Cao, the Japanese field artillery scattering was still ongoing, but the infantry had already launched a charge, in the Japanese Army, it has become a habit for the officers to ignore the lives of their subordinates, and the strict class system and education made the Japanese soldiers often have amazing obedience and endurance.
The battle began at a fever pitch as the Chinese soldiers fought back against the Japanese artillery fire, while the Japanese soldiers fought against the Chinese defenders' rain of bullets.
The fierce individual firepower of the Chinese defenders made the Japanese suffer, and the Japanese mortars and grenadiers inflicted heavy casualties on the Chinese soldiers in the trenches, and the area of this hill was only a temporary position, and the first and second battalions were only used as mobile defensive forces, and they were not prepared to hold on for a long time, and as the battle continued, a large amount of ammunition was consumed, so that the two battalions under the command of Zhang Hua began to slowly fall into passivity.
The Japanese army was obviously not prepared to let the battle last until the night, under the command of the commander of the Aoki One Brigade, the Japanese army took turns to attack the defenders' positions, Zhang Hua, as the supreme commander of the position, also fought hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese troops who rushed to the position several times, and with their strong individual firepower, the Chinese soldiers repelled the Japanese troops who were several times their own.
At 17:09 p.m., the biggest crisis and test facing the Chinese defenders came:
