Such an order surprised Takeuchi Renage. What he never expected was that the division commander would give up his position so decisively.
In fact, if he stood on the top of the city at this time, looking at his bombarded position and the ferocity of the four armies' attack, he would know that Suematsu Shigeshi's decision was correct.
The first to be breached was the flank of the Japanese position.
Almost all of their light and heavy machine gun firepower here was suppressed by snipers, and they were unable to effectively resist the charges of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Many Japanese infantrymen had just finished shooting the bullets in their magazines, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers had already rushed into their faces with bayonets drawn.
These Japanese troops were also fierce. When they saw enemies several times their size rushing forward, instead of retreating, they took the initiative to rush forward.
The soldiers from both sides collided in the blink of an eye. Like two wild beasts, they started biting each other on the battlefield filled with flames of war.
There was a problem with the side position, and Takeuchi Renage knew that their position could basically be abandoned.
He looked at the enemy troops charging forward, and immediately shouted: "The troops take turns to cover and withdraw from the position!!"
Hearing this, the soldiers who were holding on to the front came out of the bunkers and trenches and retreated to the rear.
It was at this time that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army, who were attacking from the front, had already rushed to the top of the position.
Takeuchi Renage¡¯s troops on the front have withdrawn from their positions, but their soldiers on the flanks have been bitten and cannot withdraw from the battle at all.
He was very decisive and ordered the main force fighting in the front to ignore the forces on the flanks and continue to retreat backwards.
At this time, the hundreds of Japanese soldiers fighting fiercely on the flanks have become abandoned.
Soldiers from the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army had surrounded them all in a short time.
Although this Japanese army has been abandoned, it still fights to the death.
They are all elites of the 114th Division. They are basically veterans of the Japanese army and have a strong will to fight.
Faced with the siege of soldiers from the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army, these Japanese troops could be said to have unleashed their final fighting capabilities, fighting everywhere.
However, their number was too small after all. Surrounded by layers of enemies, they were quickly killed without leaving any trace behind.
After this morning's battle of the Takeuchi Regiment, the original more than 2,000 soldiers of the Regiment had lost thousands of casualties. Basically, it lost its combat capability and could only temporarily retreat to Hunyuan County in the rear for repairs.
In other positions of the Japanese army, casualties were equally heavy.
It was only one morning, and the Japanese army had already lost more than a thousand people on the frontal position.
Suematsu Shigeshi felt a pang of pain when he looked at the statistics of casualties.
He had known that a fierce battle with Xia Yang's troops would inevitably cause very serious losses. But he did not expect that his troops would be wiped out by the enemy at such a speed.
Suematsu Shigeshi planned to change his strategy. He could not just defend passively, otherwise the enemy's heavy artillery alone would be enough to cause them heavy casualties.
"Order the commanders of each wing to come to the headquarters for a meeting. We can't just defend so passively." Shigeshi Suematsu said to Saburo Isoda.
Isoda Saburo immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, the division commander."
After the fierce fighting in the morning, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not start fighting again.
The Japanese army was busy deepening trenches and building more civil fortifications to withstand heavy artillery and napalm bombardment. Xia Yang's troops, on the other hand, were busy reinforcing the positions they had already occupied and using them as new springboards for attack.
"Tonight, we are going to launch a night attack. We have an absolute advantage in night fighting. It would be a pity if we don't take advantage of it." Xia Yang said to everyone.
Everyone in the headquarters also agreed with this plan.
"It's absolutely possible. We have night vision devices and rich experience in night fighting. We are good at making detours and dividing and encircling them." Ma Siyuan said confidently.
Li Yunlong also said: "Our independent regiment is best at intervening and roundabout operations. This task of intersecting the Japanese army's flanks and rear can be left to us."
???will assist you in combat.
Once a gap is torn out in the enemy's line, they will immediately advance in depth, and then the Eighth Route Army troops will penetrate from the sides to divide and surround the Japanese troops. "
At this time, Ma Siyuan said: "Military, what do you think if the little Japs have the same idea as us and want to attack us at night?"
Hearing this, Xia Yang clapped his hands and said: "That's good. It saves them from hiding in the position like a turtle. We are the best at night melee."
At this moment, in the headquarters of the Japanese 114th Division, Suematsu Shigeshi and his commanders were also planning the same thing.
They are also thinking about launching a surprise attack on the enemy's newly occupied position at night, and then outflanking and outflanking it.
Night is gradually falling. On the woodlands and plains outside Hunyuan County, the troops of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army are already preparing to attack on the flanks and frontal positions.
Like them, at this time, a large number of soldiers had also completed their assembly on the Japanese army's position.
In this night attack, the Japanese army assembled three regiments of troops, intending to regain the previously lost positions in one fell swoop.
If all goes well with the attack, they may even want to attack the camps of the Fourth Army and gain greater results while the enemy cannot figure out their actual strength in the dark.
But what Suematsu Shigeshi and the others didn't know was that at this moment, the soldiers of the special reconnaissance battalion were already watching their every move in the night vision goggles.
After confirming the Japanese troops, they will launch a night attack on them. Xia Yang immediately ordered his troops to deploy defenses on the flanks and frontal positions, and then launched a counterattack against the Japanese army after repelling the Japanese attack.
Dark clouds began to cover the night sky, and the originally dark moonlight was now so dark that it was hard to see even one's fingers.
The first autumn rain is about to come, and with this autumn rain comes the first night attack launched by the Japanese army.
At this time, the three Japanese regiments had quietly approached the positions occupied by the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army from the two wings and the front.
The autumn raindrops began to drip on the ground. It is conceivable that there will be a lot of fallen leaves on the ground tomorrow morning.
