Morning gradually fell, and the Japanese troops, who had simply rested for a few hours, quickly began to assemble.
They are mainly divided into two parts. One part is the breakout force led by Taro Kawahei, the commander of the 21st Division. The main function of this force is to tear a hole in the blocking front in front.
Behind them is the main force of the Fifth Division led by Itagaki Seishiro. They will be in the rear to block the armored crossflow led by Xia Yang.
Also in the early morning of this day, the main force of the 189th Brigade led by Bai Mingxuan had arrived at the county seat of Yuanping County and sent troops to support the Zhaozhuang defense line ahead.
At this moment, only more than ten miles away from Taiyuan City, Ding Wei's troops were already hiding in the woods and hills.
When morning came, they were like mountain ghosts, fighting out of the woods and hills, and rushing towards the Taiyuan City, which was now defenseless.
This morning is destined to be the morning that changes the entire Shanxi province.
In several major battles, the first to attack was the Japanese army in Zhaozhuang.
At this time, Takeda Junpei looked at the devastated position with a murderous look on his face. In front of the position, there were a large number of corpses they had left behind.
In response to the attack on Zhaozhuang's position, they launched fifteen times in the past three days.
Even at night, they used wheel warfare to carry out non-stop attacks.
Originally, Takeda Junpei thought that such a high-intensity attack, with only 2,000 enemies on the opposite side, would not be able to sustain it for two days.
But now it¡¯s the third day, and they still haven¡¯t been able to defeat this position.
This made Takeda Junpei realize that the group of Chinese soldiers on the opposite side might be stronger than he thought.
"This time the attack must take down this position. I have a vague feeling about it." Takeda Junpei looked at the Zhaozhuang position with a telescope and said.
"We must capture Yuanping County as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to respond to the Fifth Division and the 21st Division. They were already besieged near Fanzhi County last night." Takeda Junpei said.
Wang Wugui next to him was laughing. He couldn't hear Takeda Junpei's meaning at all. He just flattered him and said: "We will definitely be able to defeat this position this time. Don't worry, Taijun."
He doesn¡¯t know whether Taijun is relieved or not, but now Wang Wugui is very relieved.
Because after fully realizing that Wang Wugui¡¯s troops were just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps, Takeda Junpei simply asked him to be the transportation captain and was only responsible for logistical supplies.
At this time, there were basically no puppet troops participating in the attack on the Zhaozhuang position, only the elite troops of the Japanese army.
Gao Changjin, commander of the first battalion, got a basin of water from somewhere and washed his face carefully.
As a person who pays attention to personal hygiene and even has some mysophobia, Gao Changjin must maintain a bright and beautiful personal image at all times.
But the process of washing his face was not smooth. He had just washed it twice when the bombardment by the little Japanese started.
Hearing the roar of cannons, Gao Changjin sighed, thinking that it was all in vain.
With that said, he yelled: "Brothers, stay hidden!!!"
With that said, he dove into the cat's ear hole, with an extra layer of dirt on his face.
Compared to personal hygiene, survival is obviously the most important thing.
The rumbling bombardment of the Japanese army was more of a symbolic bombardment at this time. After several rounds of volleys passed, the Japanese soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and advanced towards the Zhaozhuang position.
At this time, there were less than a thousand combatants left on the Zhaozhuang position.
The first and second battalions both suffered more than half casualties. If it were not for the lack of replacement troops, they would have announced their withdrawal from the battle long ago.
After all, more than half of the casualties basically means that the entire army cannot continue to fight.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers on these positions were supported more by their strict discipline, lofty beliefs, and firm will to fight.
¡°Onboard!!!¡±
Thousands of Japanese troops covered the land in front of their position like a swarm of locusts.
The commander of the second battalion, Zhiqiang, yawned and stuffed bullets into his magazine one by one.
Because of the continuous fighting, I have always been talkative, even when fighting.?, he would be beaten while muttering at the same time. At this time, he also became silent.
Being exhausted both physically and mentally, all he wanted to do now was to have a deep sleep after repelling the Japanese attack.
But sleep at this time is the most luxurious thing for them.
The Japanese troops advanced for several minutes and were already within their firing range.
"Rocket!!!" Gao Changjin yelled.
A string of rockets immediately exploded and bombed the Japanese army.
Seeing the rockets coming from the sky, these Japanese soldiers lay down skillfully on the ground and took a defensive posture.
¡°Boom boom!!!¡±
A loud noise was heard, and after the explosion ended, the Japanese soldiers got up from the ground again and continued to rush forward.
Because there have been too many attacks, they have roughly calculated the gap between rocket nest launches.
The next launch will take more than ten seconds. This time is enough for them to continue to advance a certain distance.
At this time, the light and heavy machine gun firepower on the Zhaozhuang position also opened fire. As for the original Gatling heavy machine guns, only two are left at this time.
The other two Gatling heavy machine guns were directly blown into parts by Japanese artillery fire and could no longer be used.
But even with just two Gatling heavy machine guns, they were a considerable deterrent to the Japanese army. At least on the frontal position, when Gatlin roared, the Japanese troops charging ahead fell down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the Japanese army's grenades, mortars, heavy machine gun fire, etc. also began to pour on the Zhaozhuang position.
