    Suematsu Shigeshi knew clearly that according to the enemy's impact speed at this time, if he continued to hesitate like this, he would lose more than just the two outer lines of defense.  Their four lines of defense outside the city wall may all be lost in the hands of the enemy.

    ¡°As soon as you discover the presence of enemies, shoot immediately, regardless of whether there are still our soldiers beside these enemies.¡± Shigeshi Suematsu shouted.

    At this time, he could only choose the method of a strong man cutting off his wrist to protect the other two lines of defense on their periphery.

    After receiving the order, the Japanese commander at the front chose to give the order directly.

    "Everyone, when you see the enemy, fire immediately. Even if there are our people next to the enemy, you must choose to shoot without hesitation." The Japanese commanders shouted on the position.

    Soon, the Japanese soldiers who were chased by cavalry and infantry were driven to the rear.

    Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their position, they thought of their own position, even if they were back home.

    But what they didn¡¯t expect was that because the enemy was chasing too closely behind them, their comrades¡¯ guns were already pointed at them at this moment.

    "Fire!!!" the Japanese commander yelled immediately.

    With their shouts, a dense firepower network spread out in front of the Japanese position.

    ¡°Dudududu!!! Da da da da!!!¡±

    Those Japanese soldiers who were still fleeing had no idea that their own people would fire on them, and they were defeated in the blink of an eye.

    The cavalry and infantry who were chasing behind them were very surprised to see that the Japanese soldiers actually shot at them.

    But they did not stop, but continued to charge forward.

    "Mortar!!!" The Japanese commander was determined to stop the enemy's advance at all costs.

    The Japanese mortar troops in the rear also began to fire dense artillery shells at them.

    With machine gun fire and mortar fire, the charging cavalry were unable to withstand it.

    Although they charge very fast, they are also very large.  The continuous firepower of the Japanese heavy machine guns will cause great damage to them.

    "Order the frontline troops to suspend the pursuit and consolidate the occupied Japanese positions!!" Xia Yang ordered through the walkie-talkie.

    At this time, a green signal flare was launched into the air.

    Seeing the green signal flare, the soldiers who were still chasing chose to withdraw to the occupied Japanese positions and began to consolidate their positions there.

    The commander on the Japanese position saw the enemy retreating like a tide, and then ordered his soldiers to stop shooting.

    But at this time, in front of their position, countless retreating Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by their bullets.

    In front of the position, the groans of wounded Japanese soldiers could be heard everywhere.

    ¡°Treat the wounded immediately!!¡± the Japanese frontline commander shouted.

    "Subsequently, on the Japanese position, those Japanese soldiers who had just fired at their comrades jumped out of the position and used flashlights to look for wounded soldiers among the corpses.

    The most ridiculous thing is that most of the wounded Japanese soldiers were killed by their firepower.

    In the second half of the night, both sides kept silent with a tacit understanding and did not launch any more attacks.

    The Japanese army was busy consolidating the last two peripheral defense lines, while Xia Yang and the others were busy consolidating the Japanese positions they had just occupied.

    As for Xia Yang, their attack tonight basically went according to plan.

    But the fly in the ointment is that they failed to take advantage of the situation and knock down the remaining two lines of defense of the Japanese army.

    Suematsu Shigeshi was also decisive enough to directly order the troops on the front line to open fire on the Japanese troops who had not yet retreated.  Even if one of your own soldiers is accidentally injured, the enemy must be blocked outside the defense line.

    Otherwise, Xia Yang and the others would pursue the victory and even take advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army to directly break through their last two lines of defense.

    As dawn gradually arrived, a large number of corpses of soldiers were still dumped between the positions of both sides, unable to be transported back.

    The firepower of both sides in that area can be covered. At this time, they are red-eyed and don't care about anyone who is unhumane.

    Anyone who appears within their range of fire, even those who pick up corpses, will be targeted by both sides.

    &nbsp"Last night, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were directly killed in action. Coupled with the number of injured, the casualties were very heavy.

    Originally, they were only attacked by the three attacking regiments.

    But after the three regiments were defeated, their third line of defense on the periphery was broken up.  This allowed the originally solid third line of defense to be directly captured by the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army that followed closely behind.

    In just two days, the two outer lines of defense were lost, which Suematsu Shigeshi did not expect at all.

    He thought that a line of defense could last at least two or three days.  But now it seems that everything is no longer going as he expected.

    The situation began to become critical for the Japanese 114th Division.

    If the subsequent two directions are also broken through, then they will only have one city wall left.

    In the face of the heavy artillery equipped by the Fourth Army, these city walls are naturally vulnerable. A cannon bombardment can directly destroy the city wall.

    The situation in Hunyuan County is now over and it can no longer hold on.

    So the last two lines of defense are almost equivalent to the last underpants of the Japanese 114th Division.  If these two pairs of underwear are gone and only a city wall is left, then Matsushige can directly choose to withdraw from the battle.

    After capturing the Japanese third line of defense, Xia Yang and his troops did not choose to rest.

    In order to ensure the intensity of the attack, Xia Yang directly rotated the troops, replacing the troops who participated in last night's attack from the position, allowing them to rest in the rear and recharge their batteries.

    The troops that had not participated in the battle before came to the front and side battlefields, intending to launch another attack on the Japanese positions.

    Just as Xia Yang's troops launched a fierce attack on Hunyuan County occupied by the Japanese army, intensive artillery fire was ravaging the Japanese army's positions in Jincheng City in southern Shanxi.

    After the artillery bombardment ended, a large number of soldiers began to charge towards the Japanese positions.

    There are so many of them that they cover almost all directions of Jincheng.

    There is only one regiment of Japanese troops stationed here.  Facing simultaneous attacks from four directions, they had to divide their forces to defend.

    The result of this is that their defensive strength in each direction is only five or six hundred people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
