    It was just three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Japanese brigade commander Shuichi Kusanagi realized that these enemies were more terrifying than they imagined.

    And the latest intelligence shows that the enemy's troops are recirculating from both wings, apparently wanting to go around their sides and rear and surround them here.

    So Shuichi Kusanamoto sent a telegram to his division commander, hoping that the troops behind him could send two regiments of troops to assist them in their defense. Otherwise, it would be difficult for their troops to hold on for twelve hours.  time.

    The Japanese army obviously knew about this situation, so Okamura Neji immediately agreed to his request.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Nominally two regiments of troops came to support, but in fact it would be good to make up one and a half regiments.

    After all, the continuous battles at the front, coupled with the raging plague bacteria, caused the Japanese army to suffer from serious combat attrition.

    The two regiments were fully prepared, but they still had less than 4,000 people.

    And before the support of these two regiments came over, the second wave of attacks had already started again on the front.

    Another tank regiment directly took over the offensive tasks of the previous troops and launched another fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

    By this time, their artillery units were in place, especially the howitzer regiment, which had successfully moved their position forward more than ten kilometers. At this time, the Japanese blocking position was already within the bombardment range of the howitzer regiment.

    The intensive bombardment almost bombarded the Japanese position from beginning to end.

    But even so, they still did not choose to abandon their position. Instead, they hid in the dug trenches and foxholes, waiting for the shelling to end, and then continued to block the advancement of the Fourth Army.

    Artillery shells roared, and countless Japanese soldiers died under the bombardment.  On their position, many corpses that were blown into pieces soon appeared. These corpses often had their heads removed, and even body parts such as fingers and calves were scattered in unknown places.

    Under this situation, the Japanese brigade commander issued a death order. Even if everyone was killed on the position, they could not retreat.

    After the bombardment ended, the tank regiment troops attacked again.

    Their attack this time became more fierce than before, and they had already circled back to the Japanese flank troops and began to put offensive pressure on these Japanese troops from the flanks.

    Some companies of the Motorized Infantry Regiment began to attack the Japanese position from the rear.

    At this time, the Japanese troops on that position really realized what it meant to be surrounded on all sides.  On all sides of them were the attacking troops of the Fourth Army.

    This is what the Japanese army did not expect. Their original assumption was that the enemy's flanking troops would at least detour back to their rear after their reinforcements arrived.

    But these Japanese troops obviously underestimated the mobility of the motorized infantry regiment. They used motorcycles and even horse-drawn carriages to take the lead in maneuvering to the rear of the Japanese army.

    The second wave of attacks lasted for more than an hour.

    This time, the Japanese troops still held on tenaciously, implying that the casualties they paid were greater than before.

    Just under the intense shelling, the Japanese army suffered more than 300 casualties.  And under subsequent attacks from all sides, they suffered thousands of casualties.

    In the end, the Japanese death squads kept firing the cluster grenades on their bodies and counterattacked frantically, forcing the tank troops back.

    Seeing this scene, He Changxing didn't feel any regret.

    Because they originally used this kind of wheel warfare to continuously consume the Japanese army's energy and strength.  Now it seems that their tactics have been very successful.

    The Japanese army had already suffered nearly half of its casualties in these two waves of attacks.

    According to the battlefield, their current troops can actually withdraw from the battle.  But they cannot choose to retreat and can only continue to hold on here.

    So He Changxing could already feel that if the Japanese reinforcements did not arrive, their next wave of attacks would be able to knock down this position.

    However, things did not go as expected, and the two regiments supported by the Japanese army arrived here and helped them hold on to their position.

    After the third wave of attacks, although the Japanese army still suffered heavy casualties, they successfully held their position.

    Okamura Neji gave them the order to hold on for twelve hours.  And these three waves of attacks are overAfter that, only eight hours had passed.

    They still have four hours and need to hold on.

    But these four hours are actually not really four hours.

    Because they need to hold on until Licheng County is attacked, as long as the passage to Licheng County is not opened by their troops, then they need to continue to hold on here.

    ??Don¡¯t say it¡¯s four hours, it¡¯s possible if we stick to it for another day.

    The troops pursuing the Japanese army began to gather more and more in front of the Japanese army's positions.

    Relying on the absolute advantage of the troops in his hands, He Changxing began to order some cavalry troops, motorized infantry regiments, and infantry regiments to bypass the Japanese position, detour from both wings to the rear of the Japanese army, and began to pursue the Japanese troops.

    At the same time, these troops were divided into two regiments, and a position was also set up behind the Japanese blocking position.

    That position was designed to surround the Japanese army and at the same time block the Japanese reinforcements from continuing to reinforce this position.

    "Otherwise, the Japanese army will keep adding troops to this position and guard this opening, and it will be difficult for their armored troops to pass through.

    In Changzhi City, the street fighting was still going on. Xia Yang's troops, already composed of two divisions, began to carry out rotating attacks.

    This kind of attack is carried out day and night, even at night, the attack is still continuing.

    In order to prevent the Japanese troops from sneaking away, Xia Yang even asked some soldiers from the special reconnaissance battalion to be stationed on the city wall.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
