    Because they knew that the food might be poisoned.  They wanted to do everything possible to reduce the possibility of being killed by the Japanese army.  Little did they know that the virus had already begun to spread among them.

    They have begun to slide towards hell.

    Zeya stood in the distance and said: "Don't worry, these foods are not poisonous. If I want to kill you, why do I have to spend so much effort? Just eat with confidence. I will let you leave here in two days."  of."

    As he said this, he showed a sunny smile.

    The tarpaulin was covered again, and the Japanese soldiers who went to deliver food to these people were immediately sprayed with large amounts of disinfectant by the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops to ensure that no plague germs remained on their bodies.

    Those common people could not understand the behavior of the Japanese army at this time.

    Most of them have been to the farthest place, which is Changzhi City.  I have never seen much of the world, so I naturally cannot understand what the Japanese army did.

    ??Every common person here does not know that they are all destined to die at this time.  Before death, they will be used as weapons and dropped on the battlefield.  Cause greater losses to the Fourth Army.

    Time passed by little by little, and the first wave of attacks by the Fourth Army on the front slowly unfolded under the cover of artillery fire.

    It was Wei Xing's troops who were responsible for the first wave of attacks.  His troops had been recuperating for many days and had not participated in the frontal attack in the past few days.

    ¡°Looking at our brother troops, we annihilated a Japanese regiment today and killed a Japanese brigade commander yesterday.  They are naturally greedy.

    When the military headquarters held a meeting, Wei Xing, who always talked the most, had no face to speak anymore.  They could only huddle in the corner and listen to He Changxing, Si Yu and others bragging about how many little Japs their troops had killed and how heroic and invincible their troops were.

    And Wei Xing could only stand aside, turning his head away, pretending that he couldn't hear those words.

    So after the early morning military meeting of Wei Xing's Third Division, all the soldiers and commanders were holding back their energy.

    They decided to advance two kilometers forward in the first wave of attack. Otherwise, it would be unjustifiable.

    Although the Third Division was the main attacking force, in order to cooperate with its attack, Xia Yang also deployed three tank regiments, four motorized infantry regiments, and two cavalry regiments.

    Therefore, the actual offensive strength is enough to cover the entire battlefield.

    The artillery bombardment arrived in an instant, and a large number of artillery shells landed on the Japanese positions, covering the entire front line in flames and smoke.

    After the shelling lasted for an hour, the armored and infantry units began to advance in an orderly manner on the long front.

    Soldiers from both sides launched a large-scale advance on a front that was dozens of kilometers long.

    Because the terrain outside Changzhi City is relatively flat, Xia Yang's armored troops can be said to have a lot of use.

    The Japanese troops did not have any advantage in terrain and could only rely on the defense lines they had built before to barely resist.

    To say that these Japanese troops are fierce enough, even the previous consecutive battle failures did not have any impact on their morale.  On the contrary, their resistance became more fierce and frenzied.

    Tens of thousands of Japanese troops began to launch suicidal charges again and again under the instigation of their commanders and brainwashing by the spirit of Bushido.  Trying to destroy those armored vehicles and tanks.

    But this method of fighting with human lives has been proven to be completely unfeasible in Fanzhi County.

    Especially at that time, the defense width of Fanzhi County was less than ten kilometers, while the defense range outside Changzhi City was dozens of kilometers.  This kind of defense line that relies on human lives is destined to not last long.

    After the first three hours of bloody battle, the Japanese troops began to show their defeat.

    The loopholes in the defense line began to expand.  It can no longer be filled by adding more lives.  In the end, Ryumoto Honda had to abandon the outermost direction of the front and shrink all the troops to the second line of defense.

    On the second line of defense, they built more permanent fortifications and concrete bunkers that could withstand heavy artillery bombardment.  These built bunkers will become a powerful obstacle to their enemy's advance.

    Wei Xing's third division successfully proved that its combat effectiveness was no worse than other troops.  HeIt took only one afternoon for the troops to advance a full five kilometers, and they stopped advancing only when they reached the second line of defense.

    In fact, after completely occupying the outer Japanese defense line, they tried to attack the Japanese second line of defense.

    But the Japanese defense fortifications on the second line of defense were obviously stronger than they imagined.  After a round of artillery bombardment, these Japanese fortifications were almost unscathed.

    Relying on the artillery equipped in the fortifications and a large amount of machine gun firepower, they successfully blocked the furious advance of the Third Division.

    As night fell, Honda Ligen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy troops on the opposite side had all retreated into the trenches and no longer came out to attack their positions.

    Because if the enemy continues to attack, although they have very strong fortifications, the fatigue caused by the soldiers' continuous fighting will also increase the risk of their defense lines collapsing.

    "Order the troops to start repairing the position. If the enemy's troops advance again, we must ensure that the second line of defense can sustain for about two days." Honda Ritsuhiro ordered.

    After saying this, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

    "By the way, let Zeya come." He looked at the staff officer and said.

    "Yes!" the staff officer said, then looked at Honda Ligen and said, "General, I think you should probably wear protective clothing or something like that." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
