    He even thought arrogantly that if the enemy's defensive force in this direction really only had such a regiment, it would not be that difficult for his troops to advance to Lingqiu County before dawn.

    But the prerequisite for doing this is that the enemy's troops in other directions need to be contained.

    So before the attack even started, Shizuzo Sukegawa sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, hoping that he could command other troops to launch night attacks in the other two directions at the same time.  On the one hand, this is to contain the enemy so that they have no mobile troops to come to the north to support the 189th Regiment.

    Another aspect is that if a night attack is launched in other directions and an opportunity is found to break through the enemy's defense line, then their attack will be more fruitful.  This will increase the number of holes in the enemy's defense.

    Yoshio Shinozuka agreed to Seizo Sekawa's plan, and at the same time began to order the Japanese troops in the east and west, as well as the troops in the north, to coordinate the time of the night attack and launch attacks on the enemy's positions at the same time.

    Sukegawa Shizuzo is full of confidence. He thinks that the enemy's troops are already somewhat stretched.  Although the small groups of enemy troops hiding behind them were harassing them, it was extremely disturbing.  But as long as the Lingqiu County town in front of them is captured by them, these people will no longer be a threat.

    But what he didn¡¯t expect was that on the day they arrived in Lingqiu County, the Eighth Route Army actually dispatched an independent regiment to support Xia Yang¡¯s battle.  And this independent regiment was an important force that caused changes in the entire war situation.

    The Japanese army's operation began to be officially implemented around ten o'clock in the evening.

    The two Japanese regiments in the north had a combined number of nearly 6,000 people.  In addition, the Japanese artillery unit will also focus all its firepower in this direction.

    When Shizuzo Sekawa took the 38th Regiment and the 3rd Task Force Regiment into action, Japanese troops in other directions also began to take action.

    The Japanese artillery bombardment is always the first to arrive.

    Fortunately, Xia Yang had arranged his soldiers in advance to prepare them for shelling.  In addition, the reconnaissance troops of the guard battalion also began to concentrate in this direction, accurately capturing the movements of the Japanese army.

    "There is no movement on the enemy's position. We can launch an attack." The staff officer of the Japanese 38th Regiment said to Sekikawa Shizuzo.

    Sukegawa Shizuzo looked at the pitch-black field, and then said: "Tell the artillery troops to concentrate their firepower in other directions. We must do our best to prevent the enemy from discovering our actions and approach their positions quietly.  Then break through its defenses.¡±

    After saying this, he began to order the troops to prepare for a sneak attack.

    Speaking of which, today was a good day for a night attack, because there were no stars or moon in the night sky at this time, and there were only large patches of dark clouds hanging over their heads.

    Heavy rain is coming, and dark clouds cover the moonlight, just enough to cover the Japanese army's actions.

    In such a situation where you can¡¯t see your fingers without the help of night vision devices, it is indeed difficult to detect the Japanese sneak attack.

    ¡°But the guard battalion is equipped with night vision devices, and they are very advanced night vision devices.  Through this night vision device, they can achieve almost the same vision as during the day.

    In the field in front of the 189th Regiment¡¯s position, bomb craters and corpses left by the Japanese army can be seen everywhere.

    At this time, the Japanese troops quietly approached the position of the 189th Regiment from this wilderness.

    The soldiers of the 189th Regiment are ready.  But it was not preparation for battle, but once the Japanese onslaught started, they immediately made preparations to retreat along the predetermined route after a few symbolic resistances.

    This tactic of pretending to retreat places high demands on the discipline of the executing troops.  Otherwise, it might be a fake show, and the troops would really be defeated.

    But fortunately, the soldiers of the 189th Regiment are very disciplined, and they have received corresponding instructions before the battle begins.

    The Japanese troops were not advancing very fast. It took more than ten minutes for their leading troops to reach a place about thirty meters away from the 189th Regiment's position.

    Further forward, they could already see the barbed wire fence in front of the 189th Regiment's position.  In front of the barbed wire, you can still see some Japanese corpses hanging on it.

    Those were the corpses left in front of the position by the Japanese troops who managed to get here in the previous battle.

    When they got here, they began to crawl forward.

    The Japanese engineers with sabotage pliers in their hands were at the front of the team, responsible for cutting off the barbed wire fences.?The troops behind charged to open a passage.

    These engineers slowly crawled to the front of the position, and then used pliers to cut off the barbed wire fence section by section.  This process lasted for about five minutes before some passages were opened for the soldiers in the rear.

    After the engineers broke down the barbed wire fence, the Japanese soldiers in the rear began to follow.  Directly entering the inside of the barbed wire fence, it was less than ten meters away from the position.

    The Japanese soldiers who rushed in immediately fired a flare into the air.

    With a roar, the prostrate Japanese soldiers in the rear immediately began to roar and charge.

    On the position of the 189th Regiment, dense gunfire also began to appear, blocking the advance of the Japanese army.

    Those Japanese troops closest to the position jumped directly into the trenches with 38-meter gai in their hands, and started hand-to-hand combat with the garrison in the trenches.

    And the firepower in the trench was limited by the Japanese troops who rushed up to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and it was difficult to pose much threat to the charging Japanese troops.

    The Japanese troops attacking from behind were very fast.  Without firepower to stop them, their attack was overwhelming. In just ten minutes, hundreds of people had successfully rushed into the 189th Regiment's position.

    "Retreat!!! Retreat!!"

    From the position of the 189th Regiment, there were shouts and shouts, and the soldiers withdrew from their positions one after another and began to run towards the rear.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
