    When the battle for Chihe Town was in full swing, the Japanese Chongteng Detachment and Lu Zhanwu¡¯s troops also fought outside Dingyuan City!

    Although the Chongteng detachment suffered heavy losses after being put together by Lu Zhanwu. A reinforced brigade of more than 7,000 people now only had more than 3,000 people left, and all three of the most elite infantry brigades were annihilated.  This aroused Chiaki Shigeto's anger even more.

    At dawn, the Shigeto detachment, which had been fighting all night, only took a temporary rest for more than an hour to have breakfast. Then Shigeto Chiaki ordered the troops to launch another attack on Dingyuan City.

    However, Lu Zhanwu¡¯s troops, who had been well prepared, did not panic at all and relied on solid defenses to resolutely fight back.

    Since most of the elite members of the Chongteng detachment were annihilated, although the artillery and other technical arms were almost unaffected, the attack power of the front-line troops with only more than 2,000 infantrymen remaining was seriously insufficient.

    Even when the battle reached noon, the Chongteng detachment had temporarily stopped the attack because of too many casualties!

    At this time, Shigeto Chiaki had realized that it was almost impossible to capture Dingyuan City with just the two or three thousand men in his hands, so he had no choice but to report the situation on the front line to the headquarters.

    On the eastern front, the Japanese 13th Division was once again blocked by the defenders on the Xiaolinchang front line. After a morning of bloody fighting, they finally defeated the opponent and the troops continued to move forward.

    Originally, according to Tanaka Shizuichi's estimation, after conquering the front line of Xiaolinchang, the troops should soon be able to advance to the Daoguangming front line, but it turned out that he really thought too much.

    Although the terrain became gentle after passing the small forest farm, the defenders still did not allow them to pass easily. Mines and various blocking positions were everywhere along the way, so the 13th Division had not seen Guangming City until night.

    However, Tanaka Shizuichi did not have any doubts about whether Guangming City could be conquered. Although the defenders fought tenaciously, Tanaka Shizuichi could see that the defenders were not defending to death, but were using their defense to consume their strength.  .

    In just three days, their 13th Division lost two to three thousand people. Although the absolute losses were not that much, and a large part of them were wounded, it still made Tanaka Shizuichi feel the crisis, so in the next  The battle wasn't as crazy as before.

    It is said that when Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the Japanese Ninth Division and the commander-in-chief of the Bengbu front line, arrived at the front line of Chihe Town, it was already noon. He originally planned to arrive at Chihe Town before ten o'clock, but there was an accident on the way and he was delayed for two days.  hours of time.

    By the time he arrived at Chihe Town, although Fuji United's attack was still continuing, it was no longer as crazy as before!

    The entire morning's attack directly caused the Fuji Regiment to lose two infantry brigades. The heavy casualties far exceeded the expectations of the senior Japanese commanders on the front line!

    Originally, many people planned to watch Captain Fuji slap Kazuo Isa in the face today, but everyone found that Captain Fuji seemed more like a fool at this time. The Fuji United team proved with bloody facts that what Isa Kazuo said last night was correct.  .

    But at this time, no one dared to show this expression on their faces. After all, the murderous look on His Excellency¡¯s face seemed to be looking for a way to vent, and no one wanted to become His Excellency¡¯s punching bag!

    After watching an attack by the 35th Regiment at the forward headquarters, Yoshizumi Ryosuke decisively ordered the Japanese army to stop the attack!

    As a commander with rich combat experience, Yoshizumi Ryosuke could tell at a glance that the Fuji Alliance had been weakened. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to defeat the opposing defenders.

    ¡° Moreover, Yoshizumi Ryosuke also discovered that there were no tank troops on the front line today, nor did he see coordinated operations by aviation units. Obviously, this was not a reflection of the strongest combat power of the imperial army.

    Therefore, he decisively ordered the troops to stop the attack, and then asked the front-line troops to withdraw to eat first, and then eat and drink enough!

    While the front-line troops were eating, Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately ordered people to get in touch with the front army headquarters in Nanjing. He said that his headquarters was tenaciously blocked by the main force of the Chinese army in Chihe Town. The opponent relied on the defensive positions that had been built to fight to the death.  Blocking the attack, the imperial army suffered heavy casualties and was in urgent need of aviation support!

    The Central China Front Army Headquarters also responded promptly, saying that the aviation force can attack at any time!

    Since the infantry were eating and resting, Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately made an appointment with the headquarters for the aviation team to coordinate operations on the film battlefield in two hours.

    After doing this, Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately called a meeting of all front-line officers at the captain level and asked them to re-formulate an attack plan and continue to attack the opposing garrison position two hours later.

      At around two o'clock in the afternoon, after a simple recuperation, the Fuji Regiment was temporarily withdrawn due to too many casualties. The 19th Infantry Regiment, personally ordered by Yoshizumi Ryosuke, was responsible for the main attack.

    Compared with the 35th Regiment, the 19th Regiment is very low-key, but it is also the infantry regiment with the smallest losses in the entire Ninth Division after repeated battles. It is also the only veteran in the Ninth Division with a retention rate of 50  % or more of an infantry regiment.

    After receiving the order from the division commander, the captain of the 19th Regiment saw Colonel Hidezo and did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered the troops to assemble, and then took over the Fuji Regiment and stationed in the front-line position.

    The national troops on the defensive position were a little surprised when they saw that the Japanese army had changed the main attack force, but they didn't care. Anyway, in the eyes of all the defenders, the little Japanese were all the same.

    However, Gao Hu found that the new Japanese infantry regiment seemed different. This unit was more calm than the previous little devil regiment, and was not impatient at all. In terms of momentum alone, it seemed that it was not as good as the previous infantry regiment.  team, but actually gives it a more dangerous feel.

    Gao Hu did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the troops to strengthen their alert. A large amount of ammunition was sent to the front-line positions, and the reserve teams were all ready to go, ready to reinforce the front-line trenches at any time.

    At half past two, the Japanese attack began again. As the Japanese troops opened fire, two reinforced squadrons of infantry rushed towards the defenders' positions.

    This was a tentative attack by the 19th Regiment. It lasted only ten minutes and then withdrew. The casualties on both sides were not large!

    After seeing that the firepower of the defenders was not weakened at all compared to the morning, Colonel Hidezo Hitomi knew that a force attack would definitely not work, and immediately ordered the troops to follow the tactics of the 35th Regiment Takeda Battalion, which was to enter the front-line position and then engage in confrontation with the Chinese army.  attack.

    In the morning, as a bystander, Colonel Hitomi Hidezo saw that this offensive method was more effective. Although the Takeda Battalion was eventually defeated by the Chinese army on the opposite side, the other side seemed to be having a hard time. Through the telescope, he saw the opponent's position.  The stretchers carrying the wounded never stopped, and obviously the casualties were not small.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and and the defenders on the opposite side think that after a whole morning of consumption, all their elite troops should have been consumed. At this time, the opponent should be at the end of their crossbow. As long as he keeps calm, he should be able to defeat the opponent!

    I have to say that this person has a very unique vision when it comes to seeing Xiuzan. After a whole morning of consumption, the losses of the national troops on the front line were indeed very heavy. More than 1,500 troops were killed directly in the battle, and even more were injured.  To be honest, the casualties were no less than those of Fuji United.

    After all, Fuji United is stronger than Takatora Division in many aspects such as firepower and soldier quality. The biggest reason why Takatora Division can persist is these solid defenses. It is already possible to achieve such a record.  It's a miracle.

    As the 19th Regiment adjusted its tactics, the casualties of the defenders suddenly increased sharply, and the situation began to become difficult!

    Especially at around three o'clock in the afternoon, when more than thirty Japanese fighter planes flew to the battlefield to coordinate operations, the situation of the defenders took a turn for the worse. By six o'clock in the afternoon, the casualties of the defenders had exceeded 3,800.  , the overall casualties have reached 60%.

    Most importantly, most of the fortifications on the defender's position were destroyed by the powerful Japanese artillery fire. The Japanese army rushed into the town twice, but was eventually repelled by the defenders. Today's battle ended immediately.

    But in view of the heavy casualties of the troops, after reporting to the brigade headquarters, Gao Hu quietly led people to evacuate from the front line of Chihe Town that night!

    Early the next morning, the Japanese army discovered that the defenders had withdrawn without grace, and immediately sent troops to occupy Chihe Town. The battle for Chihe Town was over.

    ps: Brothers, I¡¯m really sorry. I haven¡¯t been in good health these past two days, and I also encountered the training for new members of the Inner Mongolia Writers Association. As a new batch of members this year, the author has to attend the training, so I have been in a state of confusion these past two days.  It is running at high speed and cannot be updated.

    Fortunately, the training is over today, and I should be able to go home and resume updates tomorrow!

    Another thing to report is that the author is now a formal member of the Inner Mongolia Writers Association, and now he is no longer wild!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
