The Qianjia Guard Company commander gripped the Type 38 rifle's barrel with his left hand, initially to prevent Squad Leader Si Yuquan from snatching it away.

But after the latter leaped back, abandoning the rifle and jumping away…

He could only steady the rifle, trying not to let it fall to the ground.

Because any tremor of the rifle now would cause him excruciating pain.

Only the bayonet of the gun was currently lodged in his chest.

The main body of the rifle, still outside, was long and heavy.

This made it very difficult for the Qianjia Guard Company commander to support it.

His left hand trembled, and his chest throbbed with intense pain.

In fact, the Qianjia Guard Company commander was in even greater mental anguish.

He couldn't tell if it was the physical pain or the mental suffering that was worse.

The Qianjia Guard Company commander was filled with regret: he had been impulsive!

He had never imagined that his desperate attempt to drag the opposing Special Forces soldier down with him…

Would fail.

The Qianjia Guard Company commander waved his right-hand command saber futilely, staggering forward two more steps.

His left hand could no longer support the Type 38 rifle; it was too strenuous.

At this moment, Squad Leader Si Yuquan rushed over, grasping the rifle's stock with one hand.

With a light twist and pull, the Qianjia Guard Company commander could no longer wield his right-hand command saber.

His body slumped forward powerlessly.

The Qianjia Guard Company commander had originally intended to set an example for all the surviving Japanese soldiers with his life:

As long as they weren't afraid to die, they could trade their lives for those of the charging Special Forces soldiers.

But he had failed, setting a bad precedent for all the Japanese soldiers.

Setting a poor example.

Instead, the soldiers of the first squad were all like Squad Leader Si Yuquan.

Agile, powerful, and relentless when fighting the Japanese.

Their shots hit the Japanese soldiers' vital points every time, leaving the Qianjia Guard Company soldiers unable to defend themselves.

Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei watched from afar as the Qianjia Guard Company charged into the Special Forces' position.

He watched as the Qianjia Guard Company soldiers engaged in close combat with the Special Forces officers and soldiers defending the position.

Ten minutes later, only Special Forces soldiers remained on the opposite position.

Not a single soldier from the entire Qianjia Guard Company was left standing.

This scene left Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei dumbfounded; he couldn't believe his eyes.

Company Commander Kouchi Yushō loudly requested: "Battalion Commander! Let our company go!"

Although they couldn't see the situation on the front lines in great detail from their position,

He could still get a general idea: the Qianjia Guard Company had been completely annihilated in close combat.

This wasn't the kind of battle that imperial warriors should be fighting.

It must be that the Japanese soldiers of the Qianjia Guard Company had been slacking off in their training.

Company Commander Kouchi Yushō's request snapped Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei out of his thoughts.

He sensed that the defending troops on the other side were not the same as the defending troops in the previous positions.

This time, Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei didn't immediately agree to Company Commander Kouchi Yushō's request.

Instead, he first reported the unfortunate news of the Qianjia Guard Company's annihilation to Regiment Commander Katagiri Kurō.

Regiment Commander Katagiri Kurō was also very surprised to hear this news: a ten-minute close combat, and an entire company of imperial warriors was wiped out?

This time, he couldn't help but report to the brigade commander.

When Brigade Commander Kusayama Tatsumi received this news, he finally stopped hesitating and reported to the division commander.

Division Commander Nakajima Kaneshiro of the Sixteenth Division pondered for a moment and ordered: "Increase the intensity of the attack and continue the offensive."

Without comparison, there would be no harm!

Yesterday, the Eleventh Division had suffered losses and achieved nothing.

Today, his division had a very good start.

Now they had only encountered some slight resistance, and although they had lost a company,

They had already captured two of the enemy's hilltops.

And had received praise from Commander-in-Chief Yan Junliu of the Central China Expeditionary Force.

Now was the time to press on and advance triumphantly.

At this time, they must not flinch; they must remain steady.

Division Commander Nakajima Kaneshiro ordered: "We must capture Yeshan and complete the orders issued by the division commander on time."

The Sixteenth Division had nearly ten thousand troops on the entire Tangshan front line, and at this time, the troop strength was sufficient.

He believed that what the Nineteenth Brigade lacked now was morale.

The morale of the entire brigade to dare to fight and dare to go to war was insufficient.

In the end, they were still afraid; they were afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

After all, the example of a brigade being wiped out yesterday afternoon had really frightened these Japanese soldiers.

However, Division Commander Nakajima Kaneshiro was encouraged by the two small victories he had achieved this morning, and believed that the Special Forces soldiers here in Tangshan were definitely not the same troops as those in Dangtu.

At this time, they needed to take advantage of their weakness and launch a strong attack.

Try to open a gap here.

As a division commander, he also had ambitions.

Of course, Division Commander Nakajima Kaneshiro wanted to complete the task assigned by Commander-in-Chief Yan Junliu of the Central China Expeditionary Force.

Laying the foundation for his future development.

It was because of this idea that he wanted the Nineteenth Brigade to fight this battle well.

Brigade Commander Kusayama Tatsumi of the Nineteenth Brigade received the division commander's instructions.

He immediately ordered Regiment Commander Katagiri Kurō of the Ninth Infantry Regiment: "Attack Yeshan immediately and capture the Yeshan position this afternoon."

The tasks were added layer by layer, and when they reached Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei.

Company Commander Kouchi Yushō's request to fight was immediately approved.

This time, Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei was still the same as last time, first giving the Yeshan position a twenty-minute rain of artillery shells.

Only then did he allow the Japanese soldiers of Kouchi Yushō Company to launch an attack.

For Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei, this was the maximum he could do.

However, this time, it was still a bit different from the last time.

Behind Kouchi Yushō Company, he also dispatched Asahi Takuya Company to follow behind to provide support.

This time, he was afraid that Kouchi Yushō Company would encounter the same situation as the Qianjia Guard Company.

If they really encountered that kind of close combat situation, the Asahi Takuya Company following behind could immediately rush up to support them.

This could avoid the regret that his battalion's Japanese soldiers were out of reach during the last close combat.

Company Commander Chou Yushan of the Fourth Company did not expect that the First Platoon would repel the attack of a Japanese company.

Of course, he was happy in his heart.

When the Japanese bombed Yeshan again, the Fourth Company Commander also sent reinforcements to the First Platoon.

Second Platoon Leader Wan Hongyang led the team quietly out of the tunnel behind Yeshan.

They detoured to the outside of the First Platoon's position and waited patiently.

They waited until the Japanese artillery bombing stopped.

Only then did they rush out from the left side of the First Platoon's position.

At the same time, the First Platoon also rushed out of the air-raid shelter, they were going to rush out to defend against the Japanese charge.

The artillery bombing had just stopped, and the Japanese soldiers of the Kouchi Yushō Company also began to charge.

Company Commander Kouchi Yushō had learned the lessons of how the Qianjia Guard Company was completely annihilated last time.

He believed that there was absolutely no problem with the Qianjia Guard Company's initial charge.

Well, even the subsequent close combat was not a problem.

The problem was just that the Qianjia Guard Company's assassination skills were too low, and they couldn't even beat the Special Forces soldiers.

This time, Company Commander Kouchi Yushō planned to do the same as last time: charge with all their strength and engage in close combat with the defending Special Forces.

Yokoe Yōsuke's squad was the vanguard of the entire Kouchi Yushō Company.

As soon as the artillery bombing stopped, he led his squad and tried to rush out.

The Japanese soldiers of Yokoe Yōsuke's squad only took twenty seconds to cover the distance of two hundred meters, and they had already rushed to a position only thirty meters away from the position.

Squad Leader Si Yuquan of the First Platoon also summed up his experiences and lessons after killing a Japanese company.

He believed that the reason why the First Platoon's speed was slow was because the heavy machine gun was the first to come out after the artillery bombing stopped.

This time, as soon as the Japanese artillery bombing stopped, the soldiers holding machine guns and the soldiers holding rifles rushed to the front.

Squad Leader Yu Heya of the Second Squad rushed to the front of the position and saw that the fastest-charging Japanese soldiers had already arrived in front of the position.

There were still many Japanese soldiers not far away.

Without hesitation, he first detonated the directional mine deployed in front of the position.

Then, he jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers of Yokoe Yōsuke's squad who had already rushed to the front.

Company Commander Kouchi Yushō never expected that:

The Japanese soldiers in his company had not yet charged to the Yeshan position.

The well-planned close combat had not yet begun, and it was interrupted by several loud noises.

After the directional mine exploded, the Japanese soldiers of the entire Kouchi Yushō Company, except for the twenty or so who were at the front and were not injured.

Most of the Japanese soldiers behind had already fallen to the ground.

Only a small number of Japanese soldiers were left standing in place.

They didn't know if they should continue to charge or turn back.

Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei saw the explosion on the Yeshan position from a distance.

He was anxious in his heart, and he immediately ordered: "Asahi Takuya Company, attack!"

Before his order could be issued, Company Commander Kouchi Yushō had already issued the order: "Charge!"

Although there were now less than forty Japanese soldiers in his company who could still fight the Special Forces with bayonets,

Company Commander Kouchi Yushō still had no intention of retreating.

Because he knew that there was support from the Asahi Takuya Company behind him.

The officers and soldiers of the First Platoon once again engaged in close combat with the Japanese.

This time, there were too few Japanese soldiers, and Company Commander Kouchi Yushō did not expect that:

When the Japanese soldiers of the Qianjia Guard Company were fighting with bayonets last time, it was not that they were too weak,

It was really that the Special Forces soldiers were too strong.

Company Commander Kouchi Yushō watched as the Japanese soldiers under his command quickly decreased.

Especially the Yokoe Yōsuke Squad, which was at the forefront, the entire squad had more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

They were not injured by the bombs at all.

But they were almost wiped out in the close combat just now.

Squad Leader Yokoe Yōsuke also did not expect that the Special Forces soldiers who rushed up on the opposite side were so fierce.

It was very difficult for him to even parry the rifle that was stabbed out.

He couldn't hold on to the second stab.

He was still a squad leader, and his combat skills were slightly stronger than those of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Most of the other Japanese soldiers in the Yokoe Yōsuke Squad were stabbed to death by the soldiers of the First Platoon with one knife.

The battle progressed very quickly, and Second Platoon Leader Wan Hongyang had not yet entered the position with his team.

He could already see that the First Platoon had completely gained the upper hand and did not need his help at all.

Those Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards the position in the distance had to be stopped.

The heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and mortars of the Second Platoon all opened fire.

The Japanese soldiers of the Asahi Takuya Company had just launched an attack and had not yet rushed into the Yeshan position, when they were stopped by the fierce rain of bullets.

This made Company Commander Kouchi Yushō very uncomfortable.

His current situation was very dangerous:

The company, which originally had nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers, now only had twenty left to protect him.

But he couldn't escape.

Not to mention the Special Forces soldiers who were staring at him from the front, and not to mention Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei, who was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield from a distance.

Just the team that suddenly appeared on the Yeshan position,

Kouchi Yushō Company Commander did not dare to be too far away from the Special Forces soldiers on the front.

He believed that as long as he left these Special Forces soldiers by fifty meters, the rain of bullets from above would definitely hit his body.

The reason why he and the entire Kouchi Yushō Company had not been attacked by the rain of bullets was entirely because the two sides were already entangled together.

The other side was throwing rats for fear of breaking the vases!

However, there were more than forty Special Forces soldiers fighting in close combat with the Kouchi Yushō Company.

There were only twenty Japanese soldiers under his command now.

The most worrying thing was: looking at these Japanese soldiers under his command, none of them could be an opponent.

They were all giving away dishes!

Every single Japanese soldier, when they were training, when they were in Nanjing City.

They always looked like they were showing off their power and were invincible.

When they were training, they always looked like they were the best in the world.

But he believed it, he had always believed that the assassination skills of the Kouchi Yushō Company were very strong.

It was only on the battlefield that he realized that he was wrong, terribly wrong.

Squad Leader Si Yuquan knew that the Second Platoon was reinforcing him from behind, and he heard the gunfire from the Second Platoon.

He also saw the Japanese soldiers who were rushing to the ground in front of the position in a panic.

He loudly ordered: "Hurry up and eliminate these Japanese soldiers."

Si Yuquan rushed towards Company Commander Kouchi Yushō.

The Japanese commander was holding a command knife in his hand and was urging the Japanese soldiers under his command to come forward.

In fact, at this time, there were less than ten Japanese soldiers in the entire Kouchi Yushō Company who could still fight.

There were only two or three small shrimps that Kouchi Yushō could command.

Even so, he still insisted on commanding these Japanese soldiers to charge.

Suddenly, when he saw Squad Leader Si Yuquan rushing over.

He was so frightened that he urgently ordered: "Come back! Come back!"

To Kouchi Yushō's disappointment, the few Japanese soldiers who had just been sent out could no longer return.

Special Forces soldiers had already found these few Japanese soldiers.

Si Yuquan stabbed the Japanese soldier with the rifle in his hand.

Kouchi Yushō quickly grabbed the command knife in his hand with both hands and tried to parry it with all his strength.

He parried the first stab, and his entire wrist was in pain.

The tiger's mouth also popped out blood.

Kouchi Yushō could no longer parry the second stab from the opposite side.

He watched helplessly as the bayonet of the Type 38 rifle pierced into his chest.

He felt the power of the bayonet stirring in his strength.

Then he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Squad Leader Si Yuquan loudly ordered: "Retreat! Go back to the trenches."

In the past, the Special Forces officers and soldiers liked the Japanese command knives very much.

At that time, things were valued for their scarcity.

It was very rare to be able to capture a Japanese command knife on the battlefield.

When the Special Forces won successive victories and killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield.

When these command knives were no longer a rare item.

The soldiers no longer regarded this thing as a good thing.

Just like now, when the squad leader ordered them to retreat immediately, these soldiers would rather pick up a gun.

Tear off the Japanese soldiers' bullet bags, and no one would pick up Kouchi Yushō's command knife.

The First Platoon, which returned to the trench, immediately joined the attack on the Asahi Takuya Company.

Heavy machine guns, machine guns, and rifles fired at the same time.

The current Seventh Regiment was very different from the Seventh Regiment when it was first established.

After two months of training, the soldiers' combat skills were no longer the same.

Now they were all lying in the trenches, aiming at the Japanese soldiers calmly, and then firing.

All the Japanese soldiers in the Asahi Takuya Company immediately lay down on the ground when they encountered an attack, and the entire company dispersed to find cover.

Company Commander Asahi Takuya ordered: "Machine guns and grenade launchers suppress the firepower above."

When the Japanese soldiers of the Kouchi Yushō Company were fighting with bayonets, it did not dare to use machine guns to strafe.

He was afraid of accidentally injuring the Japanese soldiers of the Kouchi Company.

After the Kouchi Yushō Company was completely annihilated, the First Platoon quickly retreated back.

Coupled with the firepower suppression from the Second Platoon, the Japanese soldiers of the Asahi Takuya Company were very uncomfortable.

Now they were even more uncomfortable.

They were attacked on two levels, and the attacks from the Special Forces were simply unavoidable.

And the other side also had mortars, this kind of weapon that completely ignored the cover and could attack vertically, made the Asahi Takuya Company's grenade launchers completely unable to play a role.

Sergeant Niigami Tomoya was carrying a grenade launcher, and he had just fired the first grenade.

It was far away! It was more than twenty meters away from the target it wanted to hit.

Sergeant Niigami Tomoya immediately adjusted and began aiming at the second grenade with the grenade launcher.

At this moment, a mortar shell fell from the sky.

The shell exploded less than five meters away from Sergeant Niigami Tomoya.

The flying shrapnel and air current knocked Sergeant Niigami Tomoya to the ground all of a sudden.

Its second grenade, which had not yet been fired, was also triggered and exploded on the spot.

Situations like this were common in the Asahi Takuya Company.

As long as the company's machine gun fired, a mortar shell would definitely hit them in less than ten seconds.

Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei saw the difficult situation of the Asahi Takuya Company from a distance and had to order:

"Let the Asahi Takuya Company retreat."

The news of the Nineteenth Infantry Brigade's victory greatly stimulated the Thirtieth Infantry Brigade.

Regiment Commander Sasaki Taro led the main force of the Sixteenth Division this time.

The entire regiment's cavalry, engineers, and field-kitchen troops were all assigned to him.

Now Brigade Commander Kusayama Tatsumi of the Nineteenth Brigade had taken the lead.

How could this be tolerated?

Although its 22nd Field Artillery Regiment had just entered the artillery position.

The entire artillery position had just begun to be built.

This could not affect its determination to issue orders.

The 33rd Infantry Regiment under the 30th Infantry Brigade was the vanguard of the attack on Chunhua.

According to the original plan, they were to wait until the 22nd Field Artillery Regiment had bombarded the Special Forces position in Chunhua for several rounds before launching an attack.

In the current situation, if they wanted to achieve results as soon as possible, they could no longer act so step by step.

When Regiment Commander Yamai Seiji of the 33rd Infantry Regiment received the order to attack.

He immediately ordered: "The 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji! Attack immediately. Attack from the front.

The battalion of Tooyama Kawashu! Attack from the left.

We will capture Chunhua today."

Zhen Danxiao never thought that the Japanese soldiers, who were initially cautious.

Suddenly became so bold: they directly sent two battalions to attack in two directions.

Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi was uneasy. He had attended the analysis meeting last night.

It was clearly agreed that they would adopt a steady and steady strategy. Why did it suddenly change all of a sudden?

Why did it become so radical?

As a front-line commander, Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi could not understand this contradictory combat plan.

However, as a front-line commander, he certainly knew: military orders were like mountains! If you understood it, you had to execute it, and if you didn't understand it, you also had to execute it! Now he was executing the orders from Regiment Commander Nodari Go even though he didn't understand them.

The Ninth Regiment of the Special Forces finally received the long-awaited call: the Fifth Regiment called and requested two rounds of artillery fire coverage on Area 47 and Area 78.

In the past few months, the Ninth Regiment had divided all the areas that Chongran could reach into areas according to Lin Fan's orders.

Labels were made, and when the front line needed artillery support.

They only needed to report the area code, and the Ninth Regiment could provide support according to the previously adjusted firing parameters.

This artillery bombardment directly skipped the test-firing process.

From the beginning, it was all-round bombardment.

The Japanese soldiers of the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji were still advancing.

They could see that there were fortresses built by the Special Forces five hundred meters ahead.

The distance of five hundred meters was still a bit far, and the defending troops on the opposite side did not fire.

The 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji also did not fire at the fortresses in front.

Their battalion had infantry artillery, and they could already fire at this distance.

Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi only ordered the four infantry artillery pieces of his battalion to set up artillery positions here.

Ready to suppress the firepower of the defending fortresses in front at any time.

The infantry of the entire battalion continued to advance.

Originally, at this time, there should have been artillery fire support from the 22nd Field Artillery Regiment.

But now, the 22nd Field Artillery Regiment had not yet set up its position.

Just when Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi was thinking about artillery fire.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the air.

The Japanese soldiers who had been on the battlefield knew what this sound was: the sound of artillery shells falling.

"Disperse! Disperse!" Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi shouted loudly.

What he wanted was for his own artillery shells to bombard the Special Forces soldiers on the opposite side.

He did not want the artillery shells to bombard him.

Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi had ten thousand animals running through his mind.

Next, he personally experienced what it was like when ten thousand animals ran through, and the ground trembled.

The artillery shells were exploding, and the ground was trembling.

The entire ground was like a pool of spring water rippled by the wind, and it actually had the rhythm of waves.

The Japanese soldiers of the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji did not have such feelings at this time.

All they had were feelings of nausea, vomiting, and wanting to die.

In fact, there were not many Japanese soldiers who had such reactions.

The sudden attack of 150mm howitzers, and it accurately hit the middle of the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji.

The Japanese soldiers of the entire battalion suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

According to Regiment Commander Zhen Danxiao's request, Hui Jianming bombarded the two targets without any discount.

Each target was hit by two rounds of artillery shells.

According to the number of heavy artillery in the Ninth Regiment now, there were 66 150mm howitzers and howitzers.

The Japanese soldiers of the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji suffered 132 150mm artillery shells.

Such intensive bombardment was delivered in two minutes.

It simply did not give them a chance to refuse and escape.

Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi was knocked down by shrapnel that flew in from nowhere.

He fell to the ground and had a deeper understanding of the earth's tremors. His entire body was trembling with the earth.

The artillery bombardment came and went quickly.

Battalion Commander Goshono Hiroshi stood up and saw the huge crater not far away.

He was shocked, except for shock, he was still shocked.

Such a big crater could not be made by the mountain artillery of the ordinary regiment's affiliated mountain artillery regiment.

It was completely made by the artillery of the heavy artillery brigade.

What he did not know was that the bombardment that the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji had just suffered was about to be repeated on another battalion.

Regiment Commander Nodari Go did not follow the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji to act together.

But it was closely watching the performance of the two attacking teams behind.

When it received the news that the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji was bombed by the Special Forces artillery, it did not show much surprise.

After all, the Special Forces had been deployed in Chunhua for three months, and it was impossible not to have any preparations.

Did they not even build permanent fortresses?

The next message from the signal soldier was what surprised it: "The entire 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji suffered heavy casualties, and less than 200 Japanese soldiers can stand up now.

And blood is overflowing from the mouths, ears, and noses of these Japanese soldiers."

This was not surprising. Many soldiers suffered artillery fire on the battlefield.

Although there was nothing to show at the time, many things happened two days later when they suddenly died.

This situation was caused by the internal organs being injured by the shock during the heavy artillery bombardment, and the injuries could not be seen from the outside.

But today's situation was obviously that the internal organs were seriously injured.

"Order the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji to retreat!"

Regiment Commander Nodari Go ordered.

Fortunately, the 30th Infantry Brigade was assigned two field hospitals.

Now was the time for those doctors and nurses to show their skills.

At this moment, another signal soldier came to report: "The battalion of Tooyama Kawashu encountered the same bombardment.

The result was the same as the 5th Battalion of Noshino Daiji.

The entire battalion was almost wiped out, and less than 10% of the survivors remained."

"Let the two field hospitals be responsible for one battalion each." Brigade Commander Sasaki Taro ordered loudly.

The sudden attack made it a little overwhelmed.

It finally understood one thing: the Special Forces were different from the surrendered soldiers of the National Army who it arbitrarily killed in Nanjing City.

The destruction of two battalions in a short period of time made Division Commander Nakajima Kaneshiro feel a bone-chilling cold.

It just wanted to perform better than Division Commander Yamabo Munetake.

It did not expect the attack to come so quickly.

It was still a mature commander after all, and it suffered heavy losses on the attack on Chunhua.

It immediately notified the 19th Brigade, which was attacking Tangshan, that it had encountered unprecedented obstacles in the attack on Chunhua.

The defending troops on the opposite side had heavy artillery, not only had it, but it had a lot of it, and it had already caused heavy casualties to the 30th Brigade.

Brigade Commander Kusayama Tatsumi immediately understood.

It immediately ordered: "The entire army will temporarily stop the attack."

Anyway, it had already captured two hills in this direction, and it could rest today.

And when attacking the Yeshan position, its troops had also suffered casualties of 500 Japanese soldiers.

Battalion Commander Tanaka Taisei could finally take a breather.

Just now, it was preparing to invest all the remaining forces of the entire battalion into the next attack.

Now it could rest.

Regiment Commander Katagiri Kuroo obviously thought more.

It believed that the Tanaka Taisei Battalion had taken the lead in attacking two hills today, and it had already made military achievements.

Later, it suffered heavy casualties in the battle to attack the Yeshan position.

It decided to transfer the Tanaka Taisei Battalion to the rear for rest as the reserve force of the entire regiment.

The two hills that were captured today were taken over by the Omiya Jiro Battalion and the Miki Taiji Battalion.

The Omiya Jiro Battalion took over Shizishan, and the Miki Taiji Battalion took over Jingshan.

While it was still early, the Japanese soldiers of these two battalions quickly completed the takeover task.

In this way, Brigade Commander Kusayama Tatsumi could finally rest assured.

Regiment Commander Katagiri Kuroo personally went to the Shizishan position and carefully inspected the position set up by the Special Forces on this mountain.

The characteristics of these trenches and fortifications were too obvious.

They could only defend against attacks from the Nanjing direction.

If they attacked from the side, these trenches and fortifications would have obvious loopholes.

This could explain why the Special Forces' defense was so easily disintegrated this morning.

However, Regiment Commander Katagiri Kuroo was very interested in the five air-raid shelters set up by the Special Forces on the position.

These air-raid shelters were dug deep and wide.

Each cave could accommodate a company of Japanese soldiers without feeling crowded.

From the perspective of their protection effect: even 150mm howitzers would not cause damage to these air-raid shelters.

Obviously, Battalion Commander Omiya Jiro was also very satisfied with these air-raid shelters.

It reported: "Report to the Regiment Commander! I have already ordered all the companies to rest in the air-raid shelters.

I have also set up a machine gun to guard at the entrance of the cave."

This was very good.

Originally, these air-raid shelters were connected to the trenches.

Even if the Special Forces soldiers broke into the trenches during the attack.

The air-raid shelters would become strong fortresses.

Regiment Commander Katagiri Kuroo had forgotten at this time: why did the Special Forces not use such a good location this morning?

In fact, even if there were Japanese soldiers who raised such questions.

There was only one explanation: the National Army could give up even the national defense fortifications that were built with a lot of money.

What was there that they could not give up! The situation on Jingshan was similar to here.

Regiment Commander Katagiri Kuroo did not go to inspect it personally.

It only went back to its headquarters in the rear after inspecting Shizishan.

Now the Japanese soldiers who were attacking in the Tangshan direction needed to wait for the order of Division Commander Nakajima Kaneshiro of the 16th Division.

They decided to stop temporarily.

Regiment Commander Zhen Danxiao strictly ordered the officers and soldiers on the front line not to rush out to clean up the battlefield 500 meters in front of the position.

Although there were already thousands of Japanese corpses lying on the battlefield.

However, Regiment Commander Ding Zimin of the Molingguan received the news that the Japanese soldiers who came to attack Molingguan had stopped on General Mountain.

They had stopped in place for two hours without advancing.

Regiment Commander Ding Zimin received the latest battlefield report: the Seventh Regiment had wiped out 500 Japanese soldiers in Yeshan.

The Fifth Regiment did not fire a single shot on the front line of Chunhua, but it just made a phone call.

It easily guided the Ninth Regiment to bomb two battalions of Japanese soldiers, killing at least 2,000 Japanese soldiers.

Lin Fan was quite satisfied with such a result.

He knew that the Japanese soldiers stationed in Nanjing would attack his territory sooner or later.

According to the habits of the Japanese soldiers: they were bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

As long as the Special Forces could make the Japanese soldiers feel pain this time, and make them afraid to even think about revenge.

These Japanese soldiers would not attack again, but would instead propose peace talks with him.

This was also the historical performance of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and they had always been like this.

If they could not defeat them, they would recruit them. If they could not recruit them, they would not provoke them! Of course, it was impossible for Lin Fan to accept the Japanese soldiers' recruitment.

But the Special Forces' base in Jiangnan also needed a peaceful environment, and the Special Forces' battlefield was not only these places now.

What Lin Fan needed was to break the claws of the Japanese soldiers reaching out to his territory, and prevent them from having such thoughts from now on.

In this way, he could lead the Special Forces to a wider world to fight the Japanese soldiers.

Otherwise, he would always have to worry about the safety of the base, making it impossible for the Special Forces to fight too far away.

This was obviously not in line with Lin Fan's thoughts.

The Ninth Regiment's four rounds of bombardment immediately made the staff officers in the ambitious Headquarters of the Central China Expeditionary Force feel the pressure.

They had never thought that there would be such a powerful team on this land.

It could actually bomb remotely, and in just five minutes, it annihilated two battalions of the Empire.

Commander-in-Chief Yan Junliu of the Central China Expeditionary Force was already furious at this time.

It fiercely ordered: "No matter what method you use: I want you to occupy Jurong before 6:00 p.m. on March 5."

Now it was so angry that it could not describe it.

A new official takes office with three fires: was it not just to establish its authority when it just took office?

To show its ability?

Why was the first fire so difficult to burn?

In this situation, it was completely stealing a chicken but losing the rice.

Not only did it not take back the territory next to Nanjing, but it also lost the soldiers who the Empire was now very short of.

Thinking about the achievements of the past two days, 13,000 Japanese soldiers of the 22nd Brigade were promoted yesterday, plus 1,000 Japanese soldiers of the 11th Naval Battle Team.

Today, it lost two battalions, plus 500 Japanese soldiers.

Calculated in this way, Commander Yan Junliu felt a darkness in front of his eyes and almost fell to the ground.

If the old man Matsui Iwane knew about this.

Would he not laugh at it for not knowing how to lead troops?

For turning a good hand into a bad hand.

Thinking of this, it finally came to the staff headquarters again and said to the staff officers it had brought over with red eyes:

"Gentlemen! You all know the situation on the front line.

We must occupy Jurong no matter what.

Please!"

It bowed deeply.

This made the staff officers under its command feel extremely moved.

These staff officers decided to die to complete the commander's request for such a courteous commander.

It immediately advised: "Withdraw two divisions from Jiangbei, and then withdraw the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade."

Was the other side not having heavy artillery?

Let us also withdraw the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade.

Specially used to fight the Special Forces' heavy artillery.

In addition, a staff officer denied this proposal.
