    The remaining tributary of the Hutuo River is relatively shallow and can be crossed by infantry on foot.

    On the other side of the river, there are more Japanese fortifications and a more rigorous defense system.

    At the same time, there are also many defensive fortifications on both wings of the position.  The purpose is to prevent Xia Yang and the others from making a roundabout attack.

    Originally, the brigade commanders of the Japanese Fourth and Ninth Brigades hoped to use these solid defenses to resist the advance of Xia Yang and his troops.

    But the positions along the Black River have helped them prove that this kind of defense cannot withstand the enemy's attack well in the face of the enemy's extremely fierce firepower coverage.

    Even the Natsume River Alliance did not have the problem of being attacked from the side and rear.  It is also difficult for them to resist a frontal attack.

    After crossing the Heihe River, Xia Yang asked the armored troops to disperse first.  This can prevent too much concentration and being bombarded by enemy artillery.

    At this time, their location was only dozens of kilometers away from Fanzhi County where the Japanese troops were stationed.

    After completing the crossing, they kept moving forward and did not stop until the last river.

    After completing this, their troops set up camp here, and at the same time began to dispatch more reconnaissance troops to both sides of the Hutuo River.

    Behind them, in the mountains and forests on both sides of Pingxing Pass, two Japanese brigades have completed their assembly.

    They are quietly waiting for the order to attack.

    These troops, composed of Japanese veterans, have been psychologically prepared for all of them to be killed in Pingxingguan.

    The leading Japanese army at this time was an experienced Japanese army captain - Xiaolu Nagachuan.

    At this time, he was hiding in a forest with his soldiers, eating lunch.

    The first news to come was that the enemy had successfully crossed the Heihe River and defeated the Natsume River Regiment and the Ji Huweita Regiment that stood there.

    If nothing else happens, starting tomorrow, they will launch a fierce attack on the positions along the last river.

    According to Itagaki Seishiro's request, they need to cooperate in frontal combat.  To occupy Pingxingguan, you only need to wait for the order to be issued.

    Their troops can capture Pingxingguan at any time at this time.

    Because Xia Yang and his troops are basically moving forward.  There was only one company of troops stationed at Pingxing Pass.

    There are more than 2,000 of them. Even with saliva, they can drown a company of troops.

    By occupying Pingxing Pass, they will block the enemy's logistics supply channels.

    For the tens of thousands of troops Xia Yang assembled in Fanzhi County, logistics is their lifeline.  If there is a logistical problem, feeding, drinking and eating for tens of thousands of people will be a huge burden.

    ? Looking from the mountains on both sides of Pingxingguan to the road below.  You can see the continuous supplies being transported to the front line by carriages and trucks.

    "When the order to attack is given, one brigade will go to capture the Pingxing Pass. The other brigade will ambush the enemy's transport troops below and seize all the materials they transport.

    This time we traveled a long distance and carried limited supplies.  The materials transported by these transport teams are our supplies.  "Xiaolu Changchuan said to several Japanese commanders under his command.

    Their tactics are actually very similar to those of the guerrillas.

    He carries very few supplies, and the rest is snatched from the enemy.

    They are still waiting patiently, waiting for the battle ahead to enter a fierce stage.

    As Itagaki Seishiro expected, Xia Yang and his troops eagerly launched an attack on the Japanese positions along the river early the next morning.

    Unlike the last battle across the river, this time Xia Yang and his troops' attack was no longer based on infantry.

    Instead, infantry-tank coordination tactics are carried out, with tanks and armored vehicles as the forerunners, leading the infantry forward.

    Because at this time, this tributary of the Hutuo River was very shallow, and the infantry could cross it on foot.  Tanks and armored vehicles are no exception.

    They only need one charge, and the barrel of the tank gun can poke into the shooting hole of the Japanese bunker.

    The Japanese army was also well prepared, and an entire brigade was devoted to this defense.

    At this time, behind them, the Japanese armored forces had also begun to attackCompletely prepared.

    They will not directly confront the enemy's armored forces on the front, but choose to use their mobility to maneuver to the enemy's side and rear with their infantry.

    Itagaki Seishiro actually learned this move from Xia Yang.  Lure the enemy deep and then outflank them from behind.

    Eventually an encirclement will form, and the besieged enemy will be attacked from all sides.

    Itagaki Seishiro looked at the Japanese soldiers standing on the tank, picked up a bowl of sake, and then shouted: "I will drink this bowl of wine for you.

    When you return home in triumph, I will get drunk with you and then we will rest!  !  !  "

    "Onboard!!! Onboard!!!"

    The armored soldiers shouted.

    They have gathered hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles here, as well as nearly 10,000 elite infantry.

    This is Itagaki Seishiro¡¯s trump card. He believes that as long as this force can successfully complete the roundabout encirclement and trap the enemy¡¯s armored force, which is alone and deep, between Heihe and Fanzhi County, this victory will belong to them.

    At this moment, the roar of cannons came from a distance.

    Itagaki Seishiro turned his head and looked towards the distance that was slowly filled with gunpowder smoke.  I knew the enemy's attack had begun.

    It has been a long time since Seishiro Itagaki had seen such intensive artillery bombardment.

    "The enemy has begun to attack, let's go!!" Itagaki Seishiro said.

    Afterwards, the armored vehicles and tanks, as well as a large number of infantry, began to set off, bypassing Xia Yang and the others from both sides.

    On the front, the Japanese positions along the river have been submerged in a barrage of artillery fire.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
