    "This afternoon, the enemy broke through the city wall and entered the city. Until about 11 o'clock in the evening, there were no more gunshots in the city. It can be judged that the fighting in the city has ended. The troops stationed in Yangqu County were almost  All were wiped out. Only two regiments retreated back to Qinglong Town.

    In addition, the enemy's main force also arrived in Yangqu County at ten o'clock in the evening.  The enemy's tank troops even approached our army's forward positions and used searchlights to provoke our army.  "Japanese military staff reported to Takeda Shunpei.

    Takeda Junpei rubbed his bloodshot eyes and said: "How many people are there in the enemy's troops?"

    "A conservative estimate is that there are 30,000 people in front of our army's Qinglong Town position at this time." The Japanese military officer said.

    "At least 30,000 people, maybe more than 30,000." After Takeda Junpei said this, he took a deep breath, seeming to suppress the panic in his heart.

    "In three days, we must stick to Qinglong Town for three days to help Taiyuan City behind and win more defense preparation time." Takeda Junpei said.

    "We will try our best, but the enemy is fierce, I'm afraid" The staff officer saw the power of Xia Yang's armored forces. He originally had five points of confidence, but now he only had less than three points left.

    Takeda Junpei glared at him and said, "Do you think this is consistent with your status as a samurai?"

    "I'm sorry, Chief of Staff, I'm going to prepare right away." The staff officer said, then turned and walked out of the headquarters.

    Watching the staff officer leave, Takeda Junpei exhaled a thick breath.

    He walked out and looked at the sparse starry sky above his head, suddenly feeling a sense of frustration and disappointment in his heart.

    ¡°Can we really persist in this war to the end?  Thinking like this, he felt melancholy for a while.

    When morning came, Xia Yang looked at the three positions of the Japanese army in the distance, his brows furrowed together.

    "The three positions of the little devils are carefully arranged. They are built according to the naturally formed terrain. It is difficult for our armored vehicles and tanks to charge upward. The infantry charge needs to be attacked by enemies from two directions at the same time.  , it¡¯s not easy to fight.¡± Xia Yang said.

    Hao Shiwen said: "The military commander is right. I have also observed the terrain here. However, I have an idea, which may have better results."

    "Tell me about it." Xia Yang asked.

    Hao Shiwen said: "According to the report of the reconnaissance team of the Guard Regiment that went deep behind enemy lines a few days ago, Qinglong Town has a higher terrain and it is difficult to get water. They need to get water from a canal in the rear.

    This canal is connected to the Fen River flowing through Taiyuan City.  Although our armored forces cannot pass directly through the mountains on both sides, the infantry has no problem.  "

    "You mean, the infantry will go back to the rear of Qinglong Town, surround them here, and then cut off the water source and other supplies?" Xia Yang immediately understood what Hao Shiwen meant.

    Hao Shiwen nodded and said: "That's what I mean, military commander. What do you think?"

    Xia Yang thought for a while and said, "I think it is feasible."

    After saying that, he looked at Ma Siyuan and said: "Commander Ma, please contact Commander Ding Weiding. His troops once detoured from the mountains on both sides to the foot of Taiyuan City. Ask him to send some guides to guide you.  The troops detoured from the two flanks of the mountains to the rear of Qinglong Town to cut off their connection with Taiyuan City."

    "Okay, I'll go right away." Ma Siyuan said.

    At this time, Ding Wei's new regiment and troops were resting and reorganizing in Xinzhou City in the rear.

    Their troops have been fighting continuously and are indeed very tired.

    After receiving a call from Ma Siyuan, Ding Wei said without hesitation that he would directly dispatch a combat company to serve as a guide for their second division.

    A company of soldiers were transported directly from Xinzhou City to Yangqu County by truck two hours later.

    After assigning these soldiers to various units, Xia Yang told Ma Siyuan to let them carry out operations at night.

    During the day, Xia Yang's troops will launch a tentative attack on Qinglong Town from the front, attracting the enemy's attention here.

    By then, Ma Siyuan's four main infantry regiments, plus an infantry brigade under Chen Shiliang's Fourth Division, totaling 13,000 people, will directly bypass the two wings and return to the rear of the Japanese army.

    Qinglong Town is not that big, so they took a detour to the rear of Qinglong Town, and one night was enough.

    In order to cooperate with Ma Siyuan and the others' actions, Xia YangThen let the howitzer troops in the rear carry out intensive bombing of the Japanese positions.

    Then they organized armored troops and infantry to conduct a tentative attack on the Japanese positions.

    The resistance of these Japanese troops was very fierce, because Xia Yang's troops captured Yangqu County in one day, which really scared them.

    But after fierce resistance, these Japanese soldiers discovered that their reaction seemed to be a bit excessive.  On the contrary, many hidden firepower points were accidentally exposed.

    The enemy¡¯s attack just now seemed to be just a tentative one. After encountering some fire resistance on the hillside, they turned around and ran away.

    The key is the enemy's armored vehicles and tanks. In the terrain outside Qinglong Town, it seems difficult to spread them on a large scale, and it is impossible to carry out the tactics that were implemented in Yangqu County before.

    The Japanese staff saw clearly from the position that it was difficult for Xia Yang's tanks and armored vehicles to rush up their hillside.

    This made the originally very depressed Japanese military staff seem to see a glimmer of hope.

    Because of the rapid fall of Yangqu County, they had an inexplicable sense of fear towards Xia Yang's troops.

    But when they saw it today, they seemed to see hope again.

    They began to analyze the real reasons for the decline of Yangqu County.

    The main reason is that Yangqu County is located in a plain area with a wide defensive surface. It is easy for enemy armored forces to spread out in such terrain.

    But the terrain of Qinglong Town is relatively complex, and there are three natural defensive positions.  It is difficult for their armored vehicles and tanks to deploy, so the attack will not be as smooth as yesterday.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
