    More than three hours ago, he had received news that their troops had successfully bypassed Changzhi City and began to attack the Japanese army.

    The two armored regiments at the front were already exchanging fire with the two blocking regiments of the Japanese army. At this time, the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle.

    Qiu Guoping planned to use the last line of defense and hold on until dark.  Then all the troops retreated to Licheng County.

    He roughly calculated the casualties and waited until they retreated to Licheng County.  The independent division should still have more than 5,000 soldiers who can continue to fight.

    Qiu Guoping planned to mobilize these more than 5,000 soldiers to use the city walls and barricades in Licheng County to continue a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

    "Master, the enemy is here again." His guards ran over and said loudly.

    Qiu Guoping wiped off the blood on his face, revealed his bloodshot eyes and said: "Tell the brothers to hold on until dark!"

    "yes!!!"

    In front of him, the Japanese troops, illuminated by the setting sun, began to advance again.

    Under their feet was the earth stained red with blood.  There were countless corpses stacked there, covering the land like fallen leaves in autumn.

    The Japanese attacking troops stepped on the corpses left behind by their comrades and moved forward.

    The battle started again, and those soldiers covered in blood continued to fight bloody battles.

    Behind the main force of the Japanese army, two regiments built two defensive positions, located on both sides of the road.

    They connected the two defensive positions into one and controlled the road.  Thus blocking the advance of Xia Yang's armored forces.

    Xia Yang's infantry unit can choose to bypass this position and directly attack the main force of the Japanese army.  But if only the infantry advances forward, it will definitely not take advantage of the Japanese army's numerical superiority.

    Therefore, if they want their pursuit to cause the greatest blow to the Japanese army, they need the coordinated advancement of armored forces.

    The reason why Xia Yang's Fourth Army was invincible against the Japanese army was not only the equipment advantages of infantry weapons, but also the advantages in combat concepts.  The reason is that they have more advanced tank troops than the Japanese army, allowing them to use the torrent of steel to carry out a crushing charge against the fragile Japanese infantry.

    Otherwise, just use infantry to attack the Japanese army.  Even if they can gain some advantages, they will not be able to continuously break through several Japanese defense lines in just a few days like they are now.

    Precisely because of this, they must get rid of these two Japanese regiments and open up this highway.  Let their armored forces advance smoothly.

    After a simple investigation, He Changxing, who was responsible for commanding these troops, issued the combat order.

    The two tank regiments took turns to attack.  The infantry and motorized infantry regiments detoured from the flanks to the enemy's rear and launched a siege on the Japanese positions.

    In this way, they can launch attacks on Japanese positions from two directions at the same time.  In this way, they can maximize their strength and firepower advantages.

    The Japanese troops stationed in these two positions are the Ninth Regiment and the Tenth Regiment.

    Both regiments are recruiting soldiers in the Kyoto area. Many people in the regiments are even neighbors or classmates who grew up together.

    Therefore, the soldiers of the two regiments not only have high cohesion, but also have very strong combat capabilities.

    The person responsible for commanding them is Shuichi Kusanagi, commander of the 42nd mixed brigade of the Japanese army.

    He looked through the telescope at the advancing armored forces of the Fourth Army, and said loudly: "All flat-fire artillery units will enter combat status immediately. Remember, after firing three artillery pieces, change positions immediately. Don't let the enemy's artillery units.  Lock in where you are."

    "yes!!!"

    His soldiers shouted.

    In fact, many of these Japanese soldiers were infected with the plague.  At this time, the number of people able to fight has been reduced by more than a thousand.  The combined number of the two regiments stationed in this position is only over 4,000.

    "Compared with them, this temporary mixed force led by He Changxing can be said to be well-equipped.

    They did not participate in the attack on Changzhi City, but were recharging their strength in the rear.  When Changzhi City had been captured and the Japanese troops in the city could no longer pose any threat to Xia Yang's troops, they received Xia Yang's troops.Following Yang's order, they bypassed Changzhi City and began to pursue the Japanese army.

    Therefore, the establishment of these troops is very complete, and many of their brother troops played a very important role in the battle to attack Changzhi City.

    The regimental commanders and battalion commanders of these troops were also competing secretly, thinking that when they were chasing the Japanese army, they must perform better than their brother troops.  Otherwise, if you go to the military headquarters for a meeting, your face will not be shiny.

    It is precisely because of these that the tank regiment responsible for the first wave of attacks attacked very fiercely at the beginning of the battle.

    Their tanks even rushed directly to the Japanese army's position, rampaging inside and disrupting the Japanese army's position.  Until it was blown over by a Japanese cluster grenade.

    The same goes for the infantry who followed them in the attack, and they fought extremely fiercely with the Japanese army.

    Although the first wave of attack lasted only more than an hour, it caused a lot of damage to the Japanese positions.

    The Japanese army suffered more than 400 casualties in this first round of attack.  If this intensity of attack continues for a few more rounds, more than half of their troops will suffer casualties and they will have to withdraw from the battle.

    If it weren¡¯t for the Japanese artillery unit, they directly chose to cover the forward position and forced the tank regiment back.  Then the Japanese army is very likely to lose half of its position in the first round of the tank regiment's attack.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
