    Itagaki Seishiro shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, an armored vehicle is just a few armor plates welded together, and then equipped with heavy machine guns and cannons. We can't let the armored vehicles drive in, can't we let the armored plates be transported in?"

    Hearing this, Nishimura Rion suddenly realized, and then said: "Are you planning to use steel plates to make bulletproof plates, so as to block the enemy's heavy machine gun fire on the flanks, so that soldiers can enter the enemy's front to fight?"

    "Yes, notify the troops and transport some steel plates in immediately. Make these steel plates into shields to withstand the enemy's flank fire. As long as we can transport five hundred infantry into the blind spot of the enemy's flank machine gun firepower point, we can then attack the enemy's firepower on the hillside.  If you launch an attack on the position, you will have a high probability of taking down the enemy's position." Seishiro Itagaki said confidently.

    "Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Said Nishimura Riwen, and quickly began to notify the rear, looking for enough steel plates from the warehouse, and transporting them here via mules and horses.

    It was dawn at this time. After receiving the order, the Japanese army's logistics and warehousing troops hurriedly got out of bed and began to collect a large number of steel plates.

    The Fifth Division also dispatched a brigade of troops, using mules and horses to transport these steel plates.  This ensures that they will transport these steel plates to the fifth division's camp tonight.

    Since they could not blow up the bunker group and the enemy had abundant means to prevent night attacks and poison gas bombs, they could only try this method.  Otherwise, if we attack forcefully, we don't know how many casualties it will take to capture that position.

    More than an hour of fighting in the latter half of the night made Xia Yang and his soldiers exhausted.

    After testing the air, they determined that the poisonous gas in the air had almost dissipated, so they took off the gas masks that made them sweat and took a breath of the air mixed with the smell of blood.

    The Japanese troops suffered heavy losses in this attack, but the soldiers of the Fourth Army also suffered heavy losses.

    In just over an hour of high-intensity fighting, hundreds of soldiers lost their ability to fight, and more than fifty of them died directly on the battlefield. Many others were sent to field hospitals in the rear for surgery and treatment.  , remove the shrapnel bullets from the body.

    The militia regiment was responsible for supplementing the troops and began to arrive on the mountains of the first line of defense.  They had been hearing intensive gunfire for the past two days, but they had not seen the real battle here.  When I arrived at the position here, I saw the stumps of the Japanese troops scattered below, as well as the dense craters left on the position, and then I realized the intensity of the battle.

    The defense line here has limited space, and the number of positions available for combatants is limited to two thousand.  Therefore, the number of people in the first line of defense has basically been maintained at about one regiment.

    On the third day of the Japanese attack, the entire position was surprisingly calm.

    What Xia Yang didn't expect was that the Japanese army did not choose to attack them today, but instead recuperated below.

    Xia Yang naturally knew that Itagaki Seishiro must be preparing something else.  So he ordered the special agent battalion to conduct reconnaissance on the Japanese army's transportation routes and camps to see what the Japanese army was doing.

    In the other direction of the three lines of defense, the troops led by Ma Siyuan were in the mountains northeast of Taibai Mountain. The commander of the 125th Brigade, Chang Ran, was standing on a high place observing the mountains in the distance.  of Japanese troops.

    On the flank of the 125th Brigade is the guard regiment directly under the Ma Siyuan Second Division.  On the other side, there are the troops of the First Guard Regiment and the Second Guard Regiment.  As well as Zheng Fei's cavalry regiment that had just been transferred.

    At this time, the Japanese troops advancing in front of them were Yoshika Ryosuke's 9th Division and Shimoi Zuoichi's 3rd Mixed Brigade.

    "How's it going, Lao Chang?" Ma Siyuan asked.

    Chang Ran put down the telescope and said: "The information from the spy camp is that the Little Japanese's third mixed brigade is acting as the vanguard and is still rushing forward. And there is no intention of waiting for the ninth division behind.  "

    Ma Siyuan asked: "What is the distance between the two troops?"

    Chang Ran said: "It takes about three hours to climb the ten kilometers of mountain road."

    Ma Siyuan said: "Let the 125th Brigade continue to retreat and prepare to block this enemy force at our last line of defense. At the same time, the Guard Regiment, as well as the First Guard Regiment, move closer to the two wings. The Cavalry Regiment and the Second Guard Regiment circle around this enemy force.  Behind the Japanese army."

    "Making dumplings?" Chang Ran asked.

    Ma SiyuanThe head said: "Yes, this little devil is going deep alone. We have enough opportunities. And you can see where they will be in a few hours."

    As he spoke, he pointed to the military map of Taibai Mountain.

    "This is Guanhegou. The main force of their brigade will arrive here in two hours. Our third line of defense is set up in Guanhegou. Their troops on the flanks are two brigades of 2,000 people.  The main force is three thousand people in the center, but there are no troops arranged to rear up. The forward troops of the Ninth Division are more than three hours away from them." Ma Siyuan said, pointing to the rear of Guanhegou.

    "Look here, Cangyun Peak, we have two very hidden bunker groups here. The Japanese troops have not discovered this place yet. If our Second Guard Regiment can occupy this place, it will be enough to withstand the vanguard of the Japanese Ninth Division.  The impact of the troops." When he said this, Ma Siyuan's fingers moved to Guanhegou.

    "At that time, the Japanese third mixed brigade will be surrounded in Guanhegou and its two flanks. We will first cut off the connection between the flanking troops and the central troops through the bunker groups and machine gun bunkers set up in these areas, and then focus on attacking the central part of the Japanese army.  Troops." Ma Siyuan said.

    Hearing this, Chang Ran nodded and said: "If this is the case, then our first guard regiment and the guard regiment on both wings will be attacked by enemies from both sides at the same time. They were simultaneously mixed into the center of the Japanese third brigade.  Can the army and the two brigades on both wings withstand the attack?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
