    The Japanese aircraft, artillery and tanks impacted their defense line again and again.  The national army officers and soldiers stationed here often use their own blood to block their progress.

    Xia Yang wiped the blood from his face and began to turn over the corpses one by one on the city defense position.

    "Everyone who is alive should take a breather!" Xia Yang said loudly while turning over the corpses.

    The Japanese attack had just ended, and many wounded soldiers on the position had not had time to be transferred.  Other soldiers died directly in the trenches, with no possibility of being rescued.

    The walls of the city.  It had been turned into a small mound under the intensive bombardment of Japanese artillery fire.

    Xia Yang used the bomb craters left by the Japanese army and asked soldiers to connect these craters with trenches, and rebuilt a defense line with a depth of more than fifty meters.

    Even though Ichiro Banishi's troops had been attacking for a week, they still failed to capture Mancheng.

    Outside Mancheng, nearly two thousand Japanese soldiers had died.  Although the Fourth Regiment, the Second Regiment, and the Independent Battalion of the Third Regiment stationed here successfully blocked waves of Japanese attacks by virtue of their geographical advantages, they also suffered huge casualties.

    When the second regiment first came to support Mancheng, there were more than 800 people in the regiment. After a week of fierce fighting, only more than 400 people remained.  There were only about 200 people left in the independent camp.

    As for the fourth regiment, there were more than 1,300 people in the group, and only more than 800 people were left at this time.

    Xia Yang made a rough estimate and found that the battle loss ratio between them and the Japanese army was about 1:15.

    In other words, for every person their group sacrifices, they can replace 1.5 little devils.

    This battle loss ratio is already very impressive, especially when the Japanese army still has superior artillery support and air force support.

    They were able to rely on temporary fortifications to fight to the death with the Japanese army on top of the city. It was not easy to achieve such an impressive record.

    In fact, simply looking at the battle loss ratio of this battle cannot tell how powerful Xia Yang and his troops are.

    But if you make a horizontal comparison, you can see the results achieved by the troops of the Fourth Regiment after they were equipped with better individual equipment and more systematic training than the Japanese army.

    On the Songhu battlefield, the Chinese army and the Japanese army fought fiercely for more than three months.  The number of casualties of the national army reached 300,000, while the number of casualties of the Japanese army was more than 40,000.

    The battle damage ratio is basically equal to eight to one. Eight soldiers of the national army were sacrificed to replace one little Japanese.

    Even in the victorious Battle of Taierzhuang, the number of casualties of the Chinese army reached more than 50,000, while the defeated Japanese army lost more than 20,000 people in that battle.

    A battle loss ratio of five to two is already a very proud record.

    Therefore, if Xia Yang can achieve such a battle loss ratio, he can really brag to his colleagues.

    Although the positions in Mancheng are still there, the defense lines in Baoding City and Shangbei County are not so lucky.

    Half of the Beicheng District of Baoding City has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.  However, the 59th Army and the 29th Army passed through the barricades built in Baoding City and still resisted the Japanese attack there.

    Shangbei County was even more unbearable. The railway station heavily guarded by the 178th Division turned out to be the main target of the Japanese attack.

    The two sides fought repeatedly around the Shangbei County Railway Station.  At least more than 4,000 soldiers from both sides died here.  The entire train station was almost covered with corpses from both sides.

    Neither the Japanese army nor the Chinese army had time to collect the bodies of their comrades.  They stepped on the layers of corpses and continued to charge.  Or simply use the corpse as a sandbag, and mount a machine gun on the corpse to shoot at the enemy.

    The so-called idiom "blood flow drifts and paddles" can be used here without exaggeration.

    The fierce Japanese artillery fire turned half of Shangbei County into ruins.

    The soldiers of the 178th Division were fighting with the Japanese army on such ruins.

    The entire division has gone through hard fighting for more than a week, and the casualties have reached half.  If the 29th Army hadn't deployed another two thousand people to support them, Shangbei County might have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.

    It was already evening. Xia Yang carried a soldier whose body was blown away by a grenade and placed him on a stretcher.

    His body will be dragged all over the city for cremation, and the ashes will be collected after the cremation.  The reason why we choose cremation is because too many people have died;It was too troublesome to dig a pit and bury her, so she had to be cremated.

    If you continue to fire, the burning is clean, there is a box of ashes left. Although there are some hasty, but in this environment, it is already good to be cremating.

    "Tuanzuo, you are injured." At this time, Hu San, who was following him, reminded him.

    After more than a week of fighting, the beard on Hu San¡¯s face became thicker and thicker.  Because there was no time to wash their faces, every soldier's face was stained with three layers of dust almost every day, and even Xia Yang was no exception.

    Hu San can still recognize Xia Yang at a glance, which is not easy to get there.

    Xia Yang followed the direction of Hu San's finger and saw that his elbow had been scratched by a bomb fragment at some point.

    He was so exhausted that he didn¡¯t even notice that the splinter had scratched the skin of his elbow.

    This kind of wound can't kill him, but if it is not treated properly on the battlefield, the wound will become inflamed, which will still greatly affect the battle.

    What's more, Xia Yang is the supreme commander of Mancheng. If something happens to him, Mancheng's precarious defense line will be even more dangerous.

    "I know, where's the car? I'm going to the field hospital." Xia Yang said.

    Hu San looked around, then pointed at the bombed-out jeep in the driveway: "Tuanzuo, where's your car?"

    Xia Yang took a look and then remembered that he forgot to park his jeep in the air raid shelter, so he parked it behind the position.

    It turned out that its luck was not as good as Xia Yang's. One of the kid's cannonballs hit its body directly, turning it into a burnt blackened iron frame in an instant.

    "Forget it, let me walk there! It's not too far away! You and your brothers will be on guard at the top of the city and be careful of little devils attacking at night." Xia Yang asked Hu Sandao.

    Hu San waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. The little Japs attacked at night two days ago and were discovered by our night vision binoculars. As soon as they touched the front of our position, they were beaten by the automatic rifles of our security company and fled. This time if they  If they come here again, they will definitely have no chance of coming back.¡±

    Xia Yang smiled, wiped the cannon fodder from his face, and walked to the field hospital.

    A few days ago, the little devil wanted to sneak over in the dark and attack Xia Yang's position.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
