On the morning of 5 August, Tanaka Seido learned his lesson, and this time he chose the main positions on the two flanks as the focus of the attack. But he didn't expect that Li Jue redeployed his troops last night, and the Japanese army was fiercely attacked by the forward positions of the 19th Division during the attack, and the devil suffered heavy casualties in a moment.

In terms of combat power, the Japanese army was superior to the Hunan army; In terms of strategy, how can a big Zuo be as good as a lieutenant general who has been fighting all year round.

"I really can't figure it out, the Japanese army has such a rigid way of fighting, and it is forced to occupy half of China."

At the rear headquarters, Li Jue saw the victory again and couldn't help but sigh.

Shao Fei on the side smiled bitterly: "Our playing style is not rigid, and we have to fight for the enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings."

Shao Fei refers to the Jiujiang Defensive Battle, and the Second Army is going to fight with the devils in the four divisions.

At the same time that the 113th Wing and the 145th Wing of the 70th Army and the 106th Division were fighting fiercely at Jinguanqiao, the 4th Army and the 64th Army of Niutoushan and Shilishan also relied on their favorable terrain to attack the 106th Division of Songpu head-on, repelling the Japanese army's crazy attacks again and again.

This is a typical mountain defense battle. Xue Yue arranged defensive positions on various hills with regiments as units, and the three corps left by Zhang Fakui played the Ecstasy Bagua Array with the 106th Division of Songpu. The Japanese offensive was blocked everywhere and did not take advantage of anything.

On the battlefield of Nanxun, good news was reported frequently. The 20,000 men of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army were struggling.

Unwilling to fail, Tanaka Seido shifted the direction of attack to the forward position again, and at the same time came up with a very despicable tactic: poison gas bombs.

At the same time as the Japanese infantry launched a fierce attack, they began to cast poison gas in front of the position. With a dull explosion, puffs of pale blue smoke drifted with the wind towards the forward position of the 19th Division.

"It's poison gas, cover your nose!"

There were officers shouting in front of the position, but they covered their noses and mouths and did not breathe.

The devil infantry took the opportunity to attack, but the 19th Division was caught off guard, and then many soldiers fell to the position with blue faces.

"Shameless!"

For the despicable and filthy behavior of the Japanese army, Li Jue could only scold one sentence, and the defenders had no power to resist the poison gas.

Seeing this, Li Jue urgently ordered the 114th Regiment, which was being withdrawn and resting, to enter the counterattack.

"The position is full of poisonous gas, and if you go up like this, you will be sent to death!"

"Now it's the will to fight, I can't give up the position I have worked so hard to build to the enemy!"

Li Jue ignored Shao Fei's dissuasion and insisted on sending the 114th regiment up.

"Rush~" "Kill~"

The 114th regiment, under the leadership of the regiment commander, rushed into the forward position and launched a fierce fight with the devils in the poisonous gas.

"cough~cough~cough""""......"

The defenders on the battlefield kept coughing, and then slowly fell to the ground with all their weakness, and then were stabbed to death by the devils one by one.

The head of the regiment roared: "Brother stalemate!"

But how can flesh and blood resist modern chemical weapons, this is not something that can be resisted by will alone.

The battle was chaotic for a while, and the soldiers on both sides continued to fight to the death, suddenly "Bang! A shot, a sinful bullet hit the commander of the 114th regiment in the chest.

"Kill~"

The regimental commander clutched his chest and fought until he ran out of life.

The commander of the 114th regiment was unfortunately shot and died, and the officers and men lost command for a while. However, there was no confusion in the position, and the soldiers fought with angry flames.

"Avenge the regimental commander! Kill! ”

A roar of revenge once again boosted the morale of the warriors who were fighting bloodily. They fought bravely in the poison gas with the will of their lives.

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

The clever soldier takes off his gas mask on the corpse of the enemy and puts it on himself, and then continues to fight. Because of the sacrifice of the regiment commander, the battle that turned this side down was variable.

"Wow Wow Wow" "......"

Suddenly, the devil of the 145th Wing of the Japanese Army rushed up, and the form once again appeared in a situation favorable to the Japanese army.

"General, that's enough~"

Shao Fei took down the binoculars, he really couldn't bear to look at it, it was not the main position after all, there was no need to break the net now.

Li Jue exhaled and ordered: "Let the 114th Regiment withdraw from its position and go to the two wings."

After several days of hard fighting, Tanaka Seido finally took the forward position of the 19th Division after paying a heavy price.

Junrokuro Matsuura, who was in the rear, was relieved and decided that the Chinese defenders had lost their combat effectiveness. In order not to give the Chinese defenders a chance to breathe, Matsuura ordered all units to pursue the victory in one go, expand the results of the battle, and sweep away the gloom of successive days of offensive failure.

However, the idea of making Matsuura Junrokuro still too naïve, and Li Jue was desperate to give it a go after learning the news that reinforcements were coming.

Immediately, Li Jue ordered all the reserves to be transferred up to attack the devils in the forward position. Although the forward positions were lost, the positions on both flanks remained, and the two flanks, together with the rear reserves, formed a three-point siege posture.

The ambush troops on several other hills, relying on the favorable terrain, organized countless dense firepower walls, and then inflicted powerful casualties on the attacking Japanese troops. The 113th Wing of Tanaka Seido and the 145th Wing of Ichikawa Yozo were pressed in front of the position and could not move.

"Put!"

"Bang Bang Bang" "......"

The forward position was splashed with fire, flying sand and rocks. At the same time, the heavy machine guns and mortars of the 2nd Battalion of the 110th Regiment on the Jiwo Ridge roared in unison. Countless mortar shells exploded in the enemy's position, and the attacking Japanese troops were suddenly in chaos and retreated in defeat.

The battle between the two sides continued fiercely until the afternoon, and no one would back down from the forward positions. At this time, the decision of Shuangfei's will, if anyone retreats, it means failure.

Both sides have reached the end of the crossbow, and you are fighting for each other in the forward position. Occupied by the Japanese at one time, and recaptured by the defenders at one time, you come and go and fight endlessly. There were mountains of corpses on the battlefield, and the trenches were already full of blood, and the continuous inflow of blood could not be penetrated by the land.

Shao Fei has seen countless tragic battles, but this is the first time he has seen Shao Fei fight with his own will.

The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, they were not afraid of death, they all dared to die. One fell, and the other rushed up and continued to slaughter endlessly.

Shao Fei wanted to turn around and leave the headquarters, but was stopped by Li Jue.

"You can't go anywhere."

"Why?"

"I don't want you to get into this meat grinder right now. I want the head of Tanaka Seido, and this task must be completed by you. ”

Li Jue once again leaked out of last night's eyes, with endless killing intent.

The battle continued fiercely until the evening, when both sides stopped fighting and the whole battlefield was shrouded in the smell of death.

The 19th Division had been fighting for a day and was unable to build positions and dispose of corpses, so Li Jue simply ordered the troops to rest in place and postponed the final decisive moment to the morning of the 6th. He firmly believed that Li Hansoul's reinforcements would definitely arrive at noon.
