    He Changxing said: "Then we have made a huge loss?"

    Hearing what He Changxing said, Xia Yang suddenly felt happy.  Then he said: "Okay, Lao He, you have learned to care about everything. If it were you before, you would definitely say that for the party-state and the resistance to Japan, not to mention two base number of artillery shells, but ten base number of artillery shells.  It can be given to the county seat of Shangbei County."

    He Changxing slapped his head and said: "This is not what I have learned from you. Fighting a war is the same as doing business. Everything must be calculated. Wei Xing and Lao Liu are also like this."

    Xia Yang sighed and said, "It's not a plan. Otherwise, where would we go to get these four mortars and the equipment of this regiment?"

    He Changxing also sighed. They had not received material assistance from the rear for many days.  The little wealth of the 59th Army and the 29th Army was basically exhausted in more than a week of fighting.

    The situation of the defenders in the city is actually the best, because they have Xia Yang, a commander who can do magic tricks.  As long as Xia Yang is around, their arsenal of ammunition and guns seems to be endless.

    Without logistical support, it¡¯s impossible not to worry about everything.

    The autumn rain on this day was like the halftime of a football match.  People on both sides are recharging their energy during the intermission.  And next, is the battle in the second half.  The second half will only be more intense than the first half.  The Japanese army will definitely try its best to attack the defense line of Baoding City.

    At this time, the atmosphere inside Kenji Doihara's division headquarters was depressing.

    Every company commander and brigade commander dared not speak.  He was afraid of offending the commander-in-chief and becoming the target of his anger.

    In the very center of the division headquarters is a huge sand table.

    This is the defense line around Baoding City built by the Japanese army, which includes the main urban area of ??Baoding City and the two surrounding important defense fulcrums - Mancheng and Shangbei County.

    On this sand table map, it can be clearly seen that the Japanese army has occupied less than half of Shangbei County and Baoding City.

    Although it seems that we are still in a stalemate at this time, without the city wall, the Japanese army's advancement speed during street fighting is definitely faster than when attacking the city wall.

    It seems that most of Shangbei County and Baoding City are still in the hands of the Japanese army.  But it is only a matter of time before the main urban areas of these two cities fall.

    But on this sand table map, there is still an area that is still completely under the control of the Chinese army.

    That place was none other than Mancheng where Xia Yang was stationed.

    The Japanese army continued their offensive there for more than a week without making any substantial progress.

    Although they flattened the walls of the city, they blew almost every building in the city to pieces.  However, they still failed to break through the outermost defense line of the city's defenders.

    "The latest news is that our brother division, Itagaki Seishiro's 20th Division, has moved outside Laiyuan County. In three days at most, they can take over the source county. But we are still  Here, entangled with the local armies of these two armies!! It is simply a shame and a great humiliation!!" Kenji Doihara said.

    "I think the 59th Regiment should be blamed for this matter. Their offensive across the city has made almost no progress. If they could have made a little progress, they would not be like this." A Japanese Army's Journey  Chang said.

    At this time, Ichiro Banishi immediately retorted: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I think you can lead your two regiments to attack Mancheng, but I want to see if you can do better.  Or worse than us."

    The other two captains who attacked Mancheng with Ichiro Banishi also jumped out at this time to help Ichiro Banishi speak.

    The two of them fought in collaboration with Ichiro Banishi. At first, they naively thought that the reason why the 59th Regiment did not attack Mancheng was because Ichiroshi Banishi was incompetent.

    But after a week of assisting Ichiro Banishi in attacking Mancheng, they were fully aware of it and realized it thoroughly.  Banishi Yiliang is not an incompetent person, and the soldiers under their command are not just a ragtag group of people.

    It¡¯s because the troops guarding Mancheng are so powerful!  !

    They not only have an airtight line of defense, but also have the most heroic and capable commanders who are good at strategy.  Not only that, except for the lack of artillery support and aviation support, the four regiments in the city were able to easily suppress them with frontal firepower.

    These defendersNot only are there plenty of ammunition, but most people's marksmanship is also very accurate.  At the same time, these people are good at hiding, unlike other Chinese troops who expose most of their bodies when shooting. Their shooting postures are very non-standard, and their shooting accuracy all depends on luck.

    In addition to these, these Chinese defenders also have many powerful weapons.  They even have anti-aircraft weapons, so now aviation fighter jets are afraid to fly at low altitudes in the direction of the city.

    "Captain of the brigade, I think you can go to Mancheng battlefield to take a look. Or organize your soldiers to conduct a heroic charge in Mancheng. I want to see if the heroic soldiers in your hands can  Tear a gap in the city's solid defense line." Noguchi Ogawa, captain of the 5th Regiment, said loudly.

    "That's enough!!" Kenji Doihara said, slapping his palm on the table.

    But he stared at Banishi Yiliang and the others without saying a word.

    ¡°If it were him a few days ago, he would have scolded Ichiro Banishi and the other two captains, looking for excuses for his cowardice and failure.

    ¡°But he went to inspect the positions in Mancheng the day before yesterday, and personally organized and directed the battle that day.  After a day of fierce fighting, they dropped hundreds of cold corpses outside Mancheng, and used artillery to lower the city's head by half a meter.

    But this was their only result. Under the fierce firepower of the defenders all over the city, they had to make huge sacrifices every time they took a step forward.

    Therefore, Doihara will not blame Ichiro Sakanishi and the other two captains.  Because he knew very well in his heart that these three alliances really couldn't defeat them.

    Their only way is to slowly consume the city's defenders until they run out of bullets and all their combat soldiers.

    "Arguing can't solve any problems." Doihara Kenji sighed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
