    Zuo Wen stood up from the trench and looked at the burning south bank of the Yellow River, with a smile on his lips.

    "Commander Xia is quite interesting. He said at the military meeting that we can just call in the air force for fire support. You're welcome."

    The result is true. As long as they say hello, their air force will be able to support them immediately.  "

    Zuo Wen said.

    The soldier next to him said: "It feels different to have a plane protecting us."

    "Of course, but this is just to delay the attack of the Japs. Tell the brothers to repair the position immediately and prepare for the next wave of enemy attacks."

    "yes!!!"

    The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army shouted, stopped cheering, and began to repair their defensive positions that had been ravaged by Japanese artillery fire.

    During this process, they saw a large number of Japanese soldiers who had been burned to coke and died along the Yellow River.

    They were the Japanese troops originally used for the second round of attack. They did not expect that before they could charge, they would be killed and injured by napalm bombs, and countless people were burned to death.

    Their commander, Masao Tsurutagawa, crawled out of the foxhole and wiped his face.

    At this time, the whole body was blackened by gunpowder smoke.

    There was not much hair, but some of it was curled by the high temperature.

    Not only him, but the soldiers next to him were also in bad condition.

    Although they were lucky, they were not engulfed by the flames just now.

    But now, they look really embarrassed, like mine workers who have just crawled out from the depths of a coal mine.

    ¡°Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!!¡±

    Tsurutagawa Katsuo shouted.

    At this time, a man with a face covered with soot stood in front of him. Only when his eyes were opened, he could tell that this was still the face of a person.

    "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, what's going on?"

    Tsurutagawa Shengo looked at him for a long time before reluctantly recognizing that he was his chief of staff.

    But Tsurutagawa Katsuo didn¡¯t know that his appearance at this time was almost the same as that of his chief of staff.

    Both looked very embarrassed, just like their soldiers.

    "Immediately count the number of casualties and assess the casualties."

    "yes!!"

    He shouted, and when he turned around, he turned back, looked at Masao Tsurutagawa, and solemnly reminded: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I think you should use clean water to wash your face last."

    Hearing this, Tsurutagawa Shengo said to him very solemnly: "I think you should clean up too."

    After a while, the Japanese troops who had been bombarded by napalm bombs were regrouped.

    All Japanese troops gathered along the Yellow River suffered very heavy losses.

    "However, the Japanese troops further back did not suffer too many losses during this process.

    However, the casualty rate of those troops near the river bank exceeded 30%.

    They lost more than 4,000 people in just that round of enemy air force bombing.

    A considerable number of them were severely burned or burned alive.

    In addition, there are more than 2,000 people with minor injuries.

    Although these people were slightly injured, they also lost the ability to continue fighting.

    The wounds left by the napalm bombs contained many germs and toxic substances.  If not treated in time, these lightly wounded people will become casualties.

    After conducting a simple assessment of the troop casualties.

    The three Japanese brigades serving as the vanguard on the banks of the Yellow River announced that they had basically lost their combat capabilities.

    There is no other way. Tsurutagawa Shengo can only temporarily reorganize these three brigades, and at the same time dispatch the other two brigades to the front line.

    But this time, Tsurutagawa Katsuo no longer allowed his troops to concentrate excessively.  Instead, they were dispersed into different areas.

    Only after the official attack is launched, they will enter the predetermined combat position.

    At noon, the Japanese army launched another attack on the positions along the Yellow River.

    This time, it will be a real bloody battle.

    At this time, more than ten kilometers away from here, Wu Xinchuan held his handThe troops below were engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

    Now, they are engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and both sides want to gain control of a position.

    And for this position, soldiers from both sides have fought over and over again.

    At this time, it is already the fourth time to compete for this position.

    In attacks from both sides, the Japanese often relied on mortars to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army's positions, and then took advantage of their strength to directly attack the positions.

    But they had just rushed forward and before they had time to build a defensive position, the Eighth Route Army would immediately organize a counterattack.

    Then drive those Japanese troops out of the position.

    The two sides went back and forth like this, engaging in a tug-of-war.

    And in that position of less than one square kilometer, new corpses were piled on top of the old corpses, layer by layer, until they turned into a hill.

    The soldiers on both sides were fighting over and over again in the area between them, and no one was willing to retreat.

    Jiro Montenegro also realized that they must engage in such a fight with the enemy.

    Because only in this way, the enemy's air force will not dare to carry out large-scale bombing of the forward offensive forces.

    After all, the accuracy of aircraft bombing, unless it is dive bombing, is not even as accurate as artillery, and it is easy to cause accidental damage.

    However, the current situation was something that Jiro Kuroyama did not expect.

    He originally thought that with their superior strength, they could quickly penetrate the enemy's positions in front.

    But now, the two sides have entered a stalemate.

    At the same time, in front of them, the attack of the two Japanese divisions supporting them was also hindered.

    The sudden napalm bombardment delayed the launch of the second round of the Japanese attack by nearly three hours.

    For Jiro Montenegro, these three hours were enough for him to lead his soldiers to the other side of the Yellow River.

    At this moment, Watanabe Jiazen suddenly ran over in a hurry and said: "It's not good, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief."

    "What's wrong? So panicked."

    Jiro Kuroyama turned his head and looked at his chief of staff, Watanabe Yoshizen, and asked.

    Watanabe Kazen said breathlessly: "Our troops in the rear discovered a large amount of smoke and dust in the distance.

    We suspect that it is the trace of the enemy's large-scale armored force marching.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
