    But he could not issue an order to stop the attack, because once it stopped, the enemy would immediately use its superior armor strength to launch a counterattack against them, and they would suffer greater losses by then.

    More Japanese soldiers were still charging forward after passing through the intensive artillery fire.

    ¡°But the vast majority of them have become living targets under the intensive firepower.

    Under the firepower of a large number of light and heavy machine guns and rifles, most of these Japanese troops could not even get closer than 20 meters to the blocking position.

    There were also some blocking positions where the Japanese troops successfully penetrated the blocking positions.

    But they often just occupied the position, and within a few minutes the artillery fire arrived, killing and wounding them directly on the position.

    The counterattack troops will arrive immediately and drive the stunned Japanese troops from their positions again.

    The fighting between the two sides lasted from about ten o'clock in the morning to about four o'clock in the afternoon, and then gradually subsided.

    This time the battle was extremely fierce. Several artillery regiments under Xia Yang even had some artillery pieces exploding directly because of the continuous firing of shells, which caused the barrel temperature to be too high.

    And the area where the Japanese troops originally gathered has now turned directly into the surface of the moon, and huge craters bombarded by heavy artillery can be seen everywhere.

    Between these craters, you can still see dense craters left by small-caliber artillery shells.

    On a piece of charred land, the body organs and minced meat of Japanese soldiers that had been blown into pieces could be seen everywhere.  A burnt smell, mixed with the smell of blood, filled the burning air around him.

    The noisy chirping of cicadas once again became the background sound in this land, instead of the crackling explosions and dense gunshots.

    The Japanese soldiers were collecting the bodies of their comrades.

    Both sides had a tacit understanding of a brief truce, and no one launched another attack.

    Xia Yang felt very uncomfortable when he saw many wounded soldiers being transported by trucks to the field hospital in the rear.

    But he knew that the Japanese casualties were definitely much greater than theirs.

    In these areas with almost no cover, their dense artillery fire coverage was enough to cause these Japanese troops to pay extremely heavy casualties.

    Hao Shiwen said: "Reporting to the military, the armored forces are ready. When will we start launching an offensive at night?"

    Xia Yang looked at his watch and said: "Don't worry. Let them all bring the equipment for night fighting. This is the time when we have an absolute advantage.

    With advanced night combat equipment, we can inflict the heaviest blow to the Japanese army at the minimum cost.  "

    Hao Shiwen nodded and said: "We have already informed everyone, but I don't think the little devils will be willing to accept it. They will most likely break out and escape while it is dark tonight."

    "I know this. The shelling during the day today is enough for these little devils. They dare not continue the stalemate, otherwise, the entire army will definitely be annihilated." Xia Yang was quite confident.

    He had a general understanding of the situation of the Japanese army at this time.

    But what Xia Yang didn't know was that the situation the Japanese army was experiencing was much worse than he had imagined.

    ¡°In Seishiro Itagaki¡¯s temporary headquarters, Taro Hirakawa, who had his arms and shoulders bandaged, stood opposite him with a serious look on his face.

    "Are you injured?" Itagaki Seishiro raised his head and asked.

    "The shrapnel from the enemy's shell has been removed, and nothing's wrong." Taro Hirakawa said, the muscles on his face twitched, as if he was suppressing the pain from the wound.

    Although Itagaki Seishiro was not injured, he looked quite embarrassed now.  The whole person was ashen and disgraced, and he didn't look like a commander on the battlefield, but a coal miner who had just come out of the coal mine.

    "Report on the situation of your 21st Division." Itagaki Seishiro said.

    Taro Hirakawa took a deep breath and said: "Our troops successfully advanced one kilometer and broke through the enemy's two lines of defense.

    But the casualties were very heavy, with casualties reaching one-third.  The most important thing is"

    Having said this, he pursed his chapped lips with some difficulty and said: "We don't have much ammunition. Each of us has less than fifty rounds of rifle ammunition. The ammunition reserve for light and heavy machine guns is also limited. The average mortar ammunition is  Down, not even a base.¡±

    ListenAt this point, Itagaki Seishiro said: "I will have people allocate part of the ammunition from the 5th Division to your 21st Division, but the current situation is grim and the enemy's firepower is too fierce.

    If we follow the breakout speed during the day today, I am afraid that we will be completely wiped out by the enemy in less than three days.  "

    "Then what should we do?" Taro Hirakawa asked eagerly.

    Even if he knew it, Itagaki Seishiro couldn't come up with any better ideas.

    But now Itagaki Seishiro is his life-saving straw. No matter whether this straw can save him or not, he has to reach out and grab a handful.

    "Tonight, we will disperse and break out, enter this mountainous area, and then gather towards the Taiyuan area." Itagaki Seishiro said.  "Use small teams as units and act individually so that the enemy has to divide his forces to stop the attack. In this way, we can let more people out at the minimum cost."

    Hearing this, Taro Hirakawa's expression became even more solemn.

    In his view, Itagaki Seishiro's plan was obviously not a brilliant combat plan.

    After all, if you choose to do this, there are some guerrilla tactics similar to the enemy, breaking them into pieces and fighting independently.

    But one problem they have to face is whether their troops will have strong enough independent combat capabilities when they are dispersed in the mountains and forests.

    And if the troops are scattered and cannot be brought together, what is the difference between it and being annihilated by the enemy?

    The enemy can ignore them and go south to attack Xinzhou, and then attack Taiyuan.

    As for them, they have become a piece of loose sand and can no longer pose any effective threat to the enemy's main force.

    "If we do this, wouldn't we become a piece of scattered sand?" Kawaheitaro directly said what he was thinking.

    "Butif you don't do this, and use a large group to break out, the enemies will gather together and annihilate them.

    They have tanks and armored vehicles, a large number of trucks and motorcycles, and can quickly surround and intercept our main force.  "Itagaki Seishiro said, his eyes already bloodshot.

    He is at the end of his rope. The battle plan mentioned at this time, even if he will lose a lot, is still better than being completely annihilated by the enemy in this ghost place.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
