    The Japanese army responded quickly, but Xue Yue was not slow either!

    Since he knew that the situation on the southern front was very tense at this time, and both Guoyang and Guide were in a dangerous situation that could collapse at any time, Xue Yue did not dare to delay even a minute.

    On the morning of the 30th, Xue Yue moved the headquarters forward again, directly to Quxing Town, ten kilometers west of Sanyi Village.

    The arrival of Xue Yue greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers on the front line, and the intensity of the attack increased again, which put huge pressure on the Japanese army.

    In order to eliminate Dofeihara's troops as soon as possible, Xue Yue even sent the chariot battalion of Gui Yongqing's troops to the front line.

    The two sides fought desperately around a few villages that were not fighting. When the battle was the fiercest, the chief officers of both sides personally left the field and sat on the front line.

    Even Doihara, who had always been relatively calm, became red-eyed. When the battle was at its most intense, he walked out of the headquarters with a sword in hand to supervise the battle in person.  The Chinese army entered the town, and Doihara immediately organized chariots and cavalry to launch a counterattack until the Chinese army retreated.

    However, the Chinese army was also jealous. Both sides received death orders. One side was determined to annihilate the Doihara Division, and the other side was fighting desperately to survive. Everyone was fighting desperately. The positions changed hands repeatedly, and the battle was abnormal.  intense.

    Unlike in the past, where the fighting was stop-and-go, both sides seemed to have suddenly turned into war puppets who were neither afraid of death nor tired. The battle was going on non-stop, and neither side would stop to rest for even a quarter of an hour.

    ??The two sides have been fighting for nearly thirty hours since the early morning of the 29th. Often, an attack by the Chinese army was repulsed, and after a short rest, a second charge would be launched. The Japanese army counterattacked again, fighting until the sky was dark, and both sides were panting.

    At this time, under the wall of the main position of Sanyi Village and beside the ditch, the village was covered with gray and yellow corpses, with broken limbs and arms everywhere. The blood turned the dry land red, and there were often piles of dead people among them.  The wounded who were not dead could still be seen struggling, but no one could care about them now. Both sides were waiting for the last trembling.

    By the afternoon of the 30th, the Chinese troops on the front line had once again lost more than 8,000 troops, and the two divisions had been beaten to the point of losing their combat effectiveness. The Japanese troops in the encirclement had lost more than 3,000 troops, and their strength was once again weakened.

    At this time, Doihara only had more than 4,000 troops left. If the North China Front Army Headquarters had not airdropped more than 300 grassroots officers to them in time, Doihara's division might have collapsed.

    After several days of bloody fighting, all the tanks used by the Doihara Division to show off their power were lying down. The reason was that there was no fuel and the ammunition was exhausted. More than 300 tanks were destroyed, and all the remaining tanks were destroyed.  Nestled in the front line of Sanyi Village.

    In the headquarters, Doihara's expression was a little depressed, and his chapped lips were covered with white blisters. The past few days of battles had exhausted the fifty-year-old veteran, and the dangerous battle situation made him anxious.  .

    "Sano-kun, how is the situation now?" Doihara said in a deep voice.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Liujiazhuang was captured by the army this afternoon. The third brigade suffered more than half of the casualties. The brigade captain Sato Tamaki has now withdrawn. There are still 8 villages still under the control of the imperial army, and the remaining  Everything below was captured by that army!" Chief of Staff Sano Tadayoshi replied in a deep voice.

    "How many troops are left?"

    "There are more than 4,000 people, and there are another 2,000 seriously wounded people in Sanyi Village. However, due to the lack of medicine, many of these wounded people die every day due to ineffective treatment."

    "idiot"

    Doihara couldn¡¯t help shouting a classic Japanese curse, but soon stopped saying anything. At this time, he really didn¡¯t know who to scold.

    The 14th Division was so high-spirited when it went on the expedition. The entire division had 28,000 men. Even after a bloody battle for more than half a year, when it crossed the Yellow River south and entered eastern Henan, the army still had 22,000 men. However, in a short time  In just over ten days, only more than 4,000 people were left in the main force of the unit, and the rest were either killed in battle or became wounded.

    This made Doihara feel very aggrieved, but he had no choice but to do it. This was an order from the front army headquarters and base camp. He was just a small lieutenant general division commander, and had no other choice but to execute the order.

    "Sano-kun, where are the reinforcements now?"

    ¡°I¡¯m reporting to you, the troops on the eastern front have arrived outside Guide City, the troops on the southern front have arrived in Woyang, and the 10th Division and the 13th Brigade have arrived in Bozhou!¡±

    "When did it happen? When can they arrive at the main battlefield?"

    "It was a telegram sent this afternoon. However, although reinforcements had arrived near the battlefield, they were met with support/??The army's crazy blockade is now blocked at the front line of Guide, unable to move even an inch"

    "Baga, the imperial army on the eastern and southern fronts has five divisions plus two mixed brigades. How many armies are there in front of us? Why can't they advance even an inch!"

    Facing Doihara¡¯s roar, Chief of Staff Colonel Tadayoshi Sano could only show a wry smile. He really couldn¡¯t answer this question.

    For a long time, Doihara could only restrain his temper and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send a report to the front army headquarters, saying that our army is now out of ammunition and food and is isolated and helpless, and may be surrounded and annihilated by that army at any time. Please ask the headquarters to urge reinforcements immediately.  If reinforcements cannot arrive within one day, please write a memorial to the more than 20,000 souls of our 14th Division!"

    "Hai!"

    Although these were Doihara¡¯s angry words, that¡¯s what he really thought in his heart.

    After these days of fighting, Doihara has felt Xue Yue's strong determination to encircle and annihilate them, and judging from the situation on the battlefield, the army has shown all its trump cards, including cannons, tanks, etc.  came out, and even several fighter planes came yesterday afternoon to coordinate operations.

    This is a rare situation. It can be seen that the army is working hard!

    The most important thing is that there are too many Chinese troops on the periphery. According to the situation reported by Tigaoke, the army in front of them is far more than ten divisions, but no less than 20 divisions.  One hundred and thirty thousand people.

    Even though they have suffered heavy losses in the past few days, they still have dozens of times their strength. If they continue to fight, the result will inevitably be the annihilation of their entire army.

    After the Doihara Division's request for help telegram was sent to the North China Front Army Headquarters, it once again aroused the anxiety of Touichi Terauchi and others. So far, their North China Front Army has been attacking cities and plundering territory with overwhelming force. They have always been encircling and annihilating the Chinese army.  , there has never been any incident of Chinese troops encircling and annihilating them.

    In the ten months since the war started, except for a transport brigade that was surrounded and annihilated by Tubal Road at Pingxingguan, no imperial army has been wiped out at the organic level, not to mention division-level, brigade-level, regiment-level units, squadrons.  Not even at the first level.

    And now a field division is about to be surrounded and annihilated, which puts you, Shouichi Terauchi and others under tremendous pressure.

    ¡°Subsequently, Juichi Terauchi once again sent a message to the troops on the Guide Front, strictly ordering them not to shirk their duties and to break through the enemy¡¯s positions within 24 hours, otherwise they would be severely punished.

    At the same time, Terauchi Shouichi sent a report to the 10th Division and the 13th Brigade that had arrived at the Bozhou front line, ordering them to attack Bozhou immediately, and then cooperate with the 16th Division to attack Guide.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
