    The soldiers under Lily Ogawa rubbed their eyes and entered the defensive position.

    But the bombardment of artillery shells made it impossible for them to even raise their heads.  Many Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces while they were sleeping, and even their bodies could not be recovered.

    The most miserable thing is the Japanese soldiers who fought fiercely all night last night and their buttocks are still hot.  When they broke through, they experienced a bloody battle.

    At this time, I finally fell asleep, thinking I could sleep peacefully.  As a result, another explosion of artillery shells woke them up from their sleep.

    ?????????? If these Japanese soldiers were not frightened into mental illness by this sudden shock, it would be considered a blessing from the Emperor.

    They had just climbed out of the tent, raised their heads, and saw an enemy fighter plane not far away passing over their heads, making a roaring sound.

    And as these planes flew by, black objects also landed from the sky.

    Soldiers in the East and West Armored Forces are very familiar with them. They are all aerial bombs dropped by enemy bombers.  When they were in Zhaogezhuang, one of them was knocked upside down by these bombs.

    At this time, these bombs fell from above their heads again. This group of Japanese soldiers shouted bad luck and hurriedly looked for bomb craters to hide.

    As for those Japanese soldiers who still didn¡¯t understand the situation, they were blown to pieces by the bombs.

    ¡°After all, these Japanese soldiers had never been bombed by planes on the battlefield in China.  No wonder they have no awareness of preventing air strikes.

    Dive bombers, like hunting eagles, swooped down from high altitudes.  At the same time as the cannon fired, the magazine hatch for dropping bombs was also opened.

    Tons of bombs landed on the Japanese command headquarters and defensive positions amid roaring sounds.

    The Japanese command post, which was placed in the rear, could not survive the disaster.  It has even become the target of key bombings.

    Because the radio station here sends and receives the most signals, it is undoubtedly an important command post for the Japanese army.  Therefore, their bombers focused their bombing on this area.

    Lily Ogawa hid in the trench, watching the planes overhead whizzing by, while dropping various numbers of bombs.

    ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m still careless.¡±

    She said with some resentment.  "Don't these enemies need a rest?"

    At this time, a soldier ran over under artillery fire and said: "Chief of Staff, our two-wing positions have been attacked by the enemy. Their infantry and tank units have begun to advance, and they will launch a formal attack in ten minutes at the earliest."  .¡±

    Lily Ogawa said: "Order the Shimada Regiment and the Nakajima Regiment to immediately support the flanks. Our defense focus is on the front, and the flank protection is weak. The enemy must have discovered this."

    "yes!!!"

    Amidst the sound of artillery fire, the messenger barely heard her order clearly and began to pass it on.

    At this moment, on the flanks of the Japanese front, the troops of the Independent Division had begun to launch a fierce attack on them.

    As soon as the bombardment ended, the infantry troops that advanced to a distance of 300 meters from the Japanese troops began to attack the Japanese positions under the cover of armored vehicles and tanks.

    Many of the soldiers of these independent divisions are veterans who participated in the battle to recapture Shanxi.  They have fought against the Japanese army many times and are very familiar with whether they are attacking or defending against Japanese attacks.

    With the order to attack, they roared and advanced.

    Behind them, fighter jets and bombers flew past.  From the flanks of the Japanese positions, bombs were dropped at low altitudes, while machine guns were used to straf the Japanese positions below.

    Under the cover of such ferocious firepower, the soldiers of the Independent Division advanced very smoothly and hardly encountered any strong firepower suppression.

    Until within a hundred meters, their fighters and bombers were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, so they could only stop bombarding the Japanese positions.  The Japanese army's firepower, which had been suppressed on the position, began to roar.

    It has to be said that although the Japanese position suffered double firepower from the ground and the air, it still maintained the integrity of its organization.

    Their fire defense was rebuilt in a short period of time.  These Japanese soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades, and even used the corpses of their comrades as sandbags and piled them above the trenches.

    The bloody battle began, and the firepower network of both sides intensively exchanged fire onTogether.

    At the same time, fighter jets and bombers are also doing their best to help the ground troops attack.

    After these fighter planes ran out of ammunition, they immediately returned, then refueled, loaded ammunition, turned around, and flew here again from Shanxi.

    The troops on the Japanese flanks encountered great offensive pressure at the beginning.

    In the elapse of time when the battle just started, the two lines of defense of the Japanese army on the flanks were broken through.  The Japanese troops of the two regiments were almost completely wiped out in their positions.

    But Yuri Ogawa reacted very quickly. She directly ordered the troops to use the terrain to build a second line of defense less than 500 meters behind the defense line.

    At the same time, she sent a telegram to the Japanese divisions in the rear, asking their cavalry units to support them as quickly as possible.

    Even if these cavalry units cannot participate in the attack on the enemy, they can still act as a deterrent.

    Soldiers from both sides once again started a brutal fight on the second line of defense on the Japanese flank.

    In just over two hours, the front of the defense line was already piled with corpses.  On the Japanese positions, the number of corpses would only be greater.

    Because they were attacked not only from the ground, but also from the air.

    ¡°Just a rough count, more than a thousand of them were killed by enemy bombers and fighter jets in this battle.  As for the injured, there will be more.

    Their battle lasted until noon.

    The Japanese defense line shrank three times before it finally stabilized its position.

    The troops of the Independent Division took advantage of the gaps between the Japanese positions and boldly carried out roundabout tactics to encircle and annihilate multiple Japanese positions.

    The biggest feature of this method of combat is that it can annihilate enemy troops at an extremely fast speed and tear through the enemy's defense line at the same time.

    Qiu Guoping is too familiar with this tactic.  When they attacked Changzhi City before, they repeatedly used such tactics against the Japanese army.

    "The Japanese army was in a passive defensive state and could only be led by the nose.

    The attack started early in the morning and lasted until about eleven o'clock.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
