    However, this time the Japanese charge still did not have a very good effect.

    Their infantry units had no heavy artillery cover at all. Although they had a certain advantage in numbers, their frontal firepower was indeed far inferior in a real confrontation.

    Under the firepower of rocket nests and various advanced heavy machine guns, the Japanese infantry could hardly move.

    They paid the lives of dozens more soldiers and retreated in a hurry.

    The captain of the Japanese army decisively ordered the troops to prepare to return to Zhangjiakou City.

    But at this time, the Japanese reconnaissance force discovered the infantry unit of the Kagel Combat Division that was outflanking.

    "Colonel, a large number of enemies have been discovered on the flanks of our army and are moving towards us."

    ¡°Retreat immediately!!¡±

    The Japanese captain shouted, but it was a little late.

    Because the troops on both wings have already intercepted their rear path.  The Japanese army's baggage troops in the rear have even begun to come under attack.

    At this time, the illumination bombs rose into the air from all around the Japanese army.  Light this side completely.

    The captain of the Japanese army did not expect that the enemy would resolve the battle there so quickly and free up his hands to surround them.

    They retreated in a hurry, but their way back was cut off.  Under the light of the flares, their attempt to advance in the dark could not be realized.

    What's more, many of Xia Yang's troops are equipped with infrared night vision devices, which makes the Japanese army unable to hide in the dark.

    The soldiers of the Fourth Army surrounding them began to launch a fierce attack on them.

    This time, the firepower of the Fourth Army was even stronger. More than 3,000 soldiers who turned around used their weapons to violently attack the Japanese troops surrounded by the highway.

    Huaze Qingshan, who had just given up the first line of defense on the outside, soon received a telegram asking for help.

    A brigade they sent out for reinforcements was actually surrounded by the enemy.  Their support is needed at this time.

    But now Huaze Qingshan already feels something is wrong.

    Those security brigades outside the city are a trap.  If I want to rescue them, I don't know how many troops I need to send in.

    Their strength in Zhangjiakou is already this small, but if they add another large group,  He doesn't need to defend here anymore, he can just open the city gate and surrender.

    So Hua Ze Qingshan said, you can break out on your own, we can at most provide some artillery support.

    This plunged the besieged Japanese troops into even more complete despair.

    Chen Linchang actually asked his soldiers to give the besieged Japanese troops some breathing space.  This will attract more Japanese reinforcements to come out of the city.

    This tactic of encircling a point and calling for reinforcements was very effective in wiping out the effective forces of the Japanese army.

    " However, Hua Ze Qingshan is not a fool. He has limited troops at hand and cannot spare so many troops for rescue.

    This siege lasted until dawn, when it was finally declared over.

    At this time, the road southeast of Zhangjiakou was covered with corpses.

    Except for some surrendered puppet troops and some Japanese members of the guard, all other Japanese troops were wiped out.

    Large swathes of crows, smelling the smell of blood, were hovering in the air, ready to peck at the carrion of the corpses.

    Another Japanese garrison that set out through the Tianjin area learned that the Peking garrison had been completely wiped out.

    He immediately turned the car around and returned to the original route.

    I am afraid that if I stay in this area for one more minute, I will be targeted and killed by the enemy.

    By the time dawn arrived, the Japanese positions outside Zhangjiakou had basically been breached.

    The loss of their numbers is also shocking.

    Although Hua Ze Qingshan was well prepared, he knew that his side would suffer heavy casualties in this cruel battle.

    But he did not expect that the casualties would be so high.

    After a simple statistics, he found that their casualties were close to one-half just last night.

    On the battlefield, with such a battle loss ratio, it is basically possible to withdraw from the battlefield, replenish troops at the rear, or even disband the unit.

    But he has no rear to retreat to, and further back is the Pingjin area.

    He doesn¡¯t have any more troops, either.Most of the more than 5,000 people originally sent to support them were wiped out in the fierce battle last night.  Among them, there were still a thousand people who fled away, giving up any intention of supporting this side.

    What Hua Ze Qingshan couldn't accept the most was that he actually sacrificed a whole brigade of troops in order to rescue this mob.

    When dawn just arrived, Hanazawa Aoyama reported the situation in Zhangjiakou to Okamura Neji.

    In the telegram, he described the situation as more serious, hoping to attract the attention of Okamura Neji and send more troops here.

    Okamura Neji didn't sleep well all night. In his dream, he dreamed of the fall of Heitin and the anger of the emperor.

    This made him get up in the middle of the night and sit in front of the map on the wall of the headquarters for a full night.

    When dawn arrived, he finally got the news from Huaze Qingshan.

    His chief of staff read the contents of the telegram to Okamura Neiji and said: "Hanazawa Aoyama's brigade has lost more than half, and all the defensive positions outside Zhangjiakou were lost overnight.

    Although they destroyed a certain amount of the enemy's armor, it was only a drop in the bucket.  The Peiping garrison that supported them was ambushed by a large enemy force on the way and was completely wiped out.

    The Tianjin Security Brigade fled and now has entered the city of Beiping.  The garrison brigade stationed in Peiping also allowed troops to enter the city of Peiping to garrison.  "

    "Really? I thought Zhangjiakou had already fallen." Okamura Neiji smiled reluctantly, then stared at the map and said: "If the enemy breaks through Zhangjiakou, it will only be a matter of time before the Pingjin area is breached. The Kwantung Army at least  There are still two days left, what do you think we should do next?¡±

    After saying that, he looked at his chief of staff.

    If Ogawa Yuri were here, he would definitely ask Ogawa Yuri for her opinion.

    But now Lily Ogawa is busy launching the second wave of attacks in the northern Henan region.

    His chief of staff pondered for a long time, and then said: "I think troops from the Hebei area should be mobilized to support the Pingjin area. We can't lose it there!"

    Okamura Neji actually has this idea in his heart, but he always feels a little uneasy.

    Now the words of his chief of staff gave him a reason to stick to this idea.

    So Okamura Neiji ordered: "Immediately mobilize troops from Shijiazhuang and Baoding areas to assist the Pingjin area. (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
