    In the evening, the Japanese attack still showed no sign of stopping.  Xia Yang even needs to take the soldiers of the guard regiment to provide support everywhere.

    But at this time, the Japanese army was at the end of its strength.

    They organized several large-scale attacks, but they failed to achieve any more results, and they could not even break through the first line of defense of the Fourth Army again.

    The reason why they can no longer make progress is that their military consumption is very huge.

    This kind of attack, which has almost no tactics at all, will put a lot of defensive pressure on Xia Yang and his soldiers from the front.

    But similarly, this desperate attack will also reduce the number of their soldiers at an extremely fast rate.

    Coupled with the air forces of the Fourth Army, after annihilating the Japanese fleet, they chose to return.

    They reloaded their ammunition urgently and then took off again to provide support to various parts of the battlefield.

    The Japanese army organized several large-scale charges in the afternoon. Even before they reached the defensive positions of the Fourth Army, the formations were blown to pieces by bombers and fighter jets in the air.

    Not only that, the frontal firepower of the Fourth Army was also a barrier that the Japanese army could not break through.

    During the morning attack, these Japanese troops were also able to use limited tanks and armored vehicles to carry out coordinated infantry and tank operations.

    This did bring a lot of trouble to the Fourth Army.

    But their tanks and armored vehicles were quickly exhausted.  In the end, even trucks were used by the Japanese to cover infantry charges.

    Of course, this crazy combat method has achieved almost no combat effect.  It was just corpses dropped one after another in front of the Fourth Army's defense line.

    At the same time, the Shanxi region also mobilized a lot of reserve troops, which were transported to the battlefield on transport aircraft as front-facing supplementary forces for the Fourth Army.

    Most of them are militiamen who have received a certain degree of military training. Although they have not experienced the baptism of war, they know basic combat skills and tactical coordination on the battlefield.

    Some militia units led by veterans can even perform circuitous tactics on the battlefield to flank the Japanese assault troops, causing considerable trouble.

    The Japanese attacks came to a complete halt after nightfall.

    At night, every move of the Japanese army was within the observation range of the Fourth Army.

    All soldiers who want to get close to the defensive positions of the Fourth Army will be clearly seen by infrared night vision devices.

    Lily Ogawa also knew that her last attempt had failed.

    But at the military meeting, she was still planning the next day's attack with her officers.

    In this day¡¯s attack, the number of Japanese casualties was close to 30,000.

    Compared with the Fourth Army, the exchange ratio is almost three to one.

    Their military strength can no longer withstand further consumption.

    Because when they attacked the front of the Fourth Army, General He also led a large number of Eighth Route Army troops to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese flank.

    Although they blocked the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, there were still two brigades that were pinned on the flanks by the Eighth Route Army and unable to move.

    "The enemy's cavalry division has also begun to take action. One of our brigade groups left here has tried its best to monitor the enemy.

    But the enemy's cavalry division seems to be bypassing our defense line and directly cooperating with the Eighth Route Army troops to attack our flanks.

    If the enemy's cavalry division reaches this position, we will be completely surrounded.  "

    In the Japanese military headquarters, a Japanese military staff officer analyzed the current situation with a calm voice.

    Behind him, many Japanese commanders had cannon fodder and even blood on their faces.

    Their eyes were filled with a little sadness.

    During the fierce attack during the day, they only advanced less than two kilometers, but paid a heavy price with nearly 30,000 casualties.

    And the width of this battlefield is less than fifty kilometers.

    Such a tragic situation reminds people of the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Verdun during World War I.

    These two famous battles are like meat grinders.

    When the fighting was at its fiercest, more than 50,000 soldiers would be killed or injured on both lines of defense in just one day.

    "Weif we can't wait for reinforcements, I'm afraid?Only failed.  "

    A division commander of the Japanese army said.

    What he said was true, but when everyone heard it, they all sighed secretly.

    Lily Ogawa looked at the map coldly, and then said: "Everyone, we will launch another attack tomorrow morning.

    If this attack still fails, you can choose to surrender to the enemy, and I will commit suicide.  "

    Hearing this, the commanders were stunned for a moment.

    Then someone jumped out and shouted: "What are you talking about? We are the Imperial Army of Japan, how can we surrender to the enemy?"

    "Yes!! What you said is shaking the morale of the army!!"

    Someone started to denounce Lily Ogawa.

    Ogawa Yuri smiled faintly, pointed to the map and said: "Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto Isoroku sent me a telegram, saying that his four divisions have been intimidated by the enemy's attacking troops to the extent of less than two meters in this area.  An area ten kilometers wide.

    If nothing else happens, they will all be annihilated here within three days at most.

    There is no danger to defend this area. When the enemy's armored troops arrive here, it can be said that there is no obstacle.

    Our situation is slightly better than that of Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto Isoroku, but it is only temporary.

    Because the enemy's troops have almost completed the encirclement of our army.

    But we don¡¯t have the ability to break through the enemy¡¯s encirclement.

    Even if we break through the enemy's encirclement, where can we go?  "

    With that said, Lily Ogawa pointed in the direction of the sea and said, "Are you planning to jump into the sea and swim back to Honshu Island?"

    ¡°Obviously, these Japanese officers did not intend to swim back to Honshu Island.

    ¡°Then we have to fight to the death!!¡±

    A Japanese division commander shouted.

    "Yes, even if we all die here, we are not willing to surrender to this despicable nation."

    Lily Ogawa said coldly: "A despicable nation? We have only surpassed this nation in the past few decades.

    Have you forgotten that for thousands of years, it has been like a lion sleeping next to us?

    We just bit off a few pieces of meat from the lion when he was sick. Do we think that this lion will be killed by ourselves?  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
