    Overnight, the Japanese army suffered thousands of casualties.  Among them, more than 400 people were killed and more than 600 people were injured.  This is the heaviest casualty the 114th Division has suffered since it entered Mount Wutai for more than half a month.

    Their previous battles were all with guerrillas.  Although those people are difficult to deal with, there is no way to cause such huge casualties to them.  This can be regarded as the only defeat Suematsu Shigeshi has suffered in more than half a year.

    But these casualties are actually minor matters, and the loss of the ammunition depot is what makes him most distressed.  After all, the combat consumption of a division is very huge. Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, there is no telling when supplies will be delivered.

    The heavy snow has stopped, but the heavy snow last night made the snow here thicker, and it can completely cover the soldiers' ankles.

    For the Japanese army, they can be happy because the snow can delay the attack of the Fourth Division and the 386th Brigade.  It can also buy them more time.

    In a night of fighting last night, most of the more than ten small positions of the Japanese army were lost. The main position did not reveal any flaws because the troops were stationary. On the contrary, it was safe and sound.

    But Xia Yang and General Chen have achieved their goal. Through last night's attack, they have determined that the Japanese army is seriously insufficient.  Otherwise, they would have supported the positions that were attacked last night instead of watching those positions being captured one by one.

    "It seems that the enemy's previous ferocious attack was just to cover up their weakness at this time. The damage caused to them by our poisoning was greater than imagined. They lost at least one-third of their combat strength because of this.  With such a huge loss, if it were on a conventional battlefield, this unit would basically be able to withdraw from the battle." Xia Yang analyzed based on the movements of the Japanese army last night.

    General Chen said: "That's right. The Japanese army is weak now, and it's time for us to step up the attack. Otherwise, if we wait a few days, the poisoned soldiers will slowly recover, and it may not be so easy for us to attack again."

    Xia Yang said: "That's right, and the enemy's 114th Division has already arrived at Xiongfeng Ridge. The good news is that the independent group's raid last night destroyed the Japanese ammunition depot, which should be able to delay the Japanese 114th Division's offensive.  It can buy us longer time. Moreover, our defense is also very successful in the peripheral directions of Zhaojiagou and Taiping Town.

    The Japanese army has now invested all its troops in Mount Wutai, and there are not too many troops on the periphery. We have much more time than before.  "

    General Chen said: "How about we start attacking the Japanese army tonight? With those night fighting instruments and equipment, we fight at night and are at an advantage over the Japanese army."

    ??

    On the main Japanese position, some Japanese soldiers who had just recovered had to run up to the position to defend their division headquarters.

    Although these soldiers are able to move, they are still very weak.  The low temperature weather for many days and the heavy snowfall last night made it difficult for many wounded Japanese soldiers to survive.

    The number of soldiers the Japanese army can fight now is only about three-fifths of its peak. Although the situation is better than the previous day, it is still in a very critical situation.

    The most important thing is that Xia Yang and the others have now figured out the details of the Japanese army through last night's attack.

    Nakajima is currently patrolling the trenches of the position. At this time, the Fourth Division and the 386th Brigade have already determined the basic policy.  A part of the troops were dispatched to surround the 30th Brigade, and then the main troops were hit to encircle and annihilate the isolated and helpless Japanese 16th Division headquarters.

    Through reconnaissance and reconnaissance, the Japanese army also grasped some of their movements and knew what Xia Yang's intentions were now.

    But he did not allow such a thing to happen. The Japanese 30th Brigade still had thousands of troops to participate in the battle. Nakajima Jingo wanted to use the opportunity tonight to have the 30th Brigade join him and complete the defense line.  The contraction of military forces and the concentration of military forces.

    There are many advantages to doing this. At least it can hit the only troops, as if the five scattered fingers gathered together into a clenched fist.  The power that this fist can exert is greater than that of five fingers.

    Another aspect is that the contraction of the defense line allows them to concentrate more troops to defend key positions.This made the attack of the Fourth Division and the 386th Brigade more difficult to gain more time.

    But doing so also carries great risks. Once the actions of the 30th Brigade are known, and the enemy sets up an ambush directly on the route of the 30th Brigade at night, the 30th Brigade will suffer huge losses.  This could hasten their destruction.

    But in order to delay the enemy's attack, Nakajima has no choice but to do this.  He must concentrate all his power in his own hands, so that he can have the capital to continue the game with the enemy.  Otherwise, with the few thousand people left in their command, it would be difficult to withstand them for too long.

    "Has the flag message been sent?" Nakajima Jinmao asked Nakazawa Sano.

    Mitsuo Nakazawa stepped on the snow and said: "It has been sent. There is no problem with the 30th Brigade. The enemy mobilized troops last night, which resulted in some weak defenses in the middle of our two units.  If we can cooperate inside and outside and break through the enemy's weak defense point, we can achieve convergence."

    Nakajima Jinmao said: "Okay, tonight's action must be concealed. The enemy wants to annihilate us in one fell swoop and continuously mobilizes troops, but it reveals some flaws. We must seize this opportunity." (  Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
