    ¡°It¡¯s what I expected. I told him that the two brigades returning from Wuxiang County will immediately enter the front to provide them with a certain degree of support.

    At the same time, he told him that we must find a way to rescue the soldiers trapped in the enemy's encirclement. We can no longer suffer such terrible losses of troops.  "Okamura Neji said with serious eyes.

    There was a little helplessness in his tone.

    Although Honda Ligen last night was unable to withstand the violent offensive of the four armies.  But he also knew that even if Honda Ligen was replaced by someone else, the result would not be better.

    The situation of the enemy's advance last night was not only reported to Honda Ligen, but also reported to him.

    Every time the Fourth Army captured a position, Okamura Neiji would mark it on the map based on the telegram of the position's fall.

    He originally thought that the enemy¡¯s attack on the four towns would last at least two days.

    But last night, he watched the messages flying over like snowflakes, the rapidly falling positions, and the continuous markings on the map.

    Okamura Neiji then realized that the enemy's combat capabilities seemed to have improved qualitatively after the previous training in northwest Shanxi.

    Their collaborative combat capabilities have become more powerful, even invulnerable.

    The pace of the attack is also suffocatingly fast.  Okamura Neiji looked at the intelligence, put himself in Honda Ryumoto's position, and then imagined that he was the frontline commander at this time. How should he command this battle and how to mobilize troops to delay the enemy's advance to the greatest extent?  footsteps.

    But in his mind, after some deductions, Okamura Neji desperately realized that it was almost impossible.

    Unless he is given an army of 100,000 men, all piled up on the front lines.  Otherwise, the more than 20,000 defensive troops would not be able to withstand the furious advance of the Fourth Army just a few towns away.

    He knew that Honda Ligen had done the best he could.

    Faced with the equipment owned by the enemy, even their back line will not be raided or fall into chaos.  So, even if the frontline troops want to use the fortifications built in less than half a month, they will not be able to stop the attack of the enemy's armored vehicles.

    It¡¯s nothing more than a delay of a few hours in defeat.

    At this time, under the fierce attack of the Fourth Army's "pincer offensive", they were besieged between three towns.

    On their two wings, front and rear, were Xia Yang's troops.

    At this time, the two Japanese brigades that were divided and surrounded in this area were a Japanese regiment that was surrounded between Cilin Town and Bayi Town.  There were two Japanese regiments surrounded between Bayi Town and Yincheng Town, and two Japanese regiments between Yincheng Town and Baichi Town.

    A total of five Japanese regiments and more than 10,000 elite troops were besieged here.

    Although they were besieged here, they did not fall into chaos immediately.

    Because during the battle last night, they were stationed in dozens of positions, and the positions they were stationed in were basically outside the attack range of the Fourth Army yesterday.

    Therefore, their establishment is relatively complete. After a brief exchange, the two brigade leaders formulated a rough plan.

    They reported this plan to Honda Ligen, hoping that their artillery could also provide some support.

    This plan is not very complicated. The five regiments under their command are dispersed to break through.  However, they are mainly concentrated in five places, and these five breakout positions require Honda Ryumoto, who is holding on to the outer defense line of Changzhi, to launch a decent counterattack.

    Such a counterattack is not to defeat the temporary defense line constructed by the Fourth Army, but to create several gaps of several hundred meters in the defense line.

    When the time comes, these regiments will rush out through the gaps created.

    Although doing this, some Japanese troops may be destined to stay on this land forever.  But in order to preserve its main force, this is already the best plan.

    "The Japanese army may launch an assault on our defense line during the day today. They think that the night will be long and the dream will be long. When our encirclement is completely stabilized, there will be no chance." Xia Yang said.

    He Changxing said: "And according to the intelligence, the Japanese troops who were driven to the outskirts of Changzhi by our army also seem to be making moves. It seems that they want to cooperate with the besieged Japanese troops inside and outside."

    Xia Yang smiled lightly.? Said: "In order to cooperate with the outside, we think that if our army falls into a two-front battle, it will be in the embarrassing situation of insufficient troops and firepower, and at the same time being attacked from both sides.

    ¡°These little devils, after fighting our Fourth Army for so long, they still think that conventional tactics can take advantage of us.  "

    Wei Xing next to him said: "Let me tell you, these little devils will not shed tears until they see the coffin. If they choose to break out in small groups now, they can really run away a lot.

    ¡°After all, our fishing net can catch big fish, but it¡¯s hard to catch small fish.  "

    "Life! You always have to try different things. Otherwise, how would they know which path doesn't work? It's just that this time, they have to pay the price with their own lives."

    Having said this, Xia Yang ordered: "Order the frontline troops to immediately build defensive positions. At the same time, the armored troops and tank troops, with the cooperation of the cavalry troops, launched an attack on the besieged Japanese troops. Troops in other areas began to  Encircle these besieged Japanese troops from all sides and strive to annihilate them all within one day."

    "yes!!"

    Everyone responded in unison and immediately began to make strategic arrangements according to Xia Yang's orders.

    The soldiers who fought all night, after resting for more than five hours, were once again preparing for a new battle with high morale.

    The soldiers of the infantry regiment also built a line of defense on the outer defense line of Changzhi.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
