At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 12th, the 104th Infantry Brigade of the 108th Division of the Chinese Army launched an attack on time in the east of Binzhou. The 5th, 6th, and 11th regiments of the vanguard army waiting in Caizhai also carried out a head-on attack in accordance with the prior arrangement. The 21st Brigade Regiment, supported by the 5th Division of the Eastern Front, also launched an attack, but was directly blocked by the 5rd and 4th, 8th, 9th, and 10th regiments of the Vanguard Army, which had just been filled.

At the same time, the 10th Division, which was huddled along the Yellow River, suddenly launched a frantic attack, and at this time only the 7th, 12th and 1st regiments secretly mobilized back to defend Jinan were defended. The 2nd Regiment, which had a large number of ordinary people, withdrew to the area around Zhangqiu Zhou Village to maintain law and order, and the vicinity of the main base was still guarded by a seriously understaffed security regiment.

"There's no way for a recruit to go into battle!" Meng Xiang lamented that because of the urgency of the situation, many recruits who have not yet qualified for training and veterans who have just recovered have also been sent to the battlefield, mainly arranged on the eastern front and the north, while although the 12th regiment on the western front is newly formed, the vast majority of them are a combination of clones and recovered veterans. Street fighting requires more experience.

The 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division, which had secretly crossed the river, launched a fierce attack in the direction of Jinan under the cover of more than 30 Type 95 tanks. Accompanying the assist were all the remaining men of Nagase's 8th Brigade. Even the 10th Cavalry Wing was sent to this narrow space by Ryosuke Isoya, and he was already desperate.

"The 108th Division attacked fiercely, not like a feint!" Not long after the battle began, Hu Minghe loudly reported to Meng Xiang and the others that the command had been paying attention to.

"Xia Yuan Xiong Mi is really playing, and there are also fights within the Japanese Kou." Pharmacist Tang smiled.

"The Western Front must implement the half-city plan as soon as possible! Otherwise, the 108th Division in the north may be transformed from a feint to a fierce attack at any time, and the hasty arrangement of the three regiments there may not be able to block it! Fan Chong said. He said that he had a strange temper. Although the 108th Division was ordered to make a feint, the water here was a little larger. After the setbacks of the two elite divisions of the 10th Division and the 5th Division, the 108th Division, which was in the second-rate team, was moved by the heart and intended to get more honor on the vanguard, which was a posture of onslaught from the beginning.

After learning through various channels, the vanguard army that I had roughly transferred and deployed did not expect that the 108th Division would play real from the beginning. Although there was arrangement and vigilance, the hasty arrangement played a limited role, and even if there was a sense of vigilance, the losses were relatively large under the onslaught of the 108th Division as if it had taken medicine.

Also drugged was the 5th Brigade of the 21st Division, which also launched a fierce attack for the sake of honor.

"Don't worry about the dense attack like that day, such an attack that consumes ammunition is only an experiment at most, it is absolutely impossible to do this again and again, even the empire can't afford that kind of consumption!" Major General Toshiji Miura, commander of the 21st Brigade, looked up at the morning glow on the horizon at a 45-degree angle and said confidently.

"Trouble! It's really a bit of a hassle! Huang Huamin also regretted that the two large amounts of ammunition consumption had made the inventory gone, and the ammunition replenished in the past two days had only recovered half. Although the base can be restored quickly, it is not only the Eastern Front that needs ammunition.

The machine gun was still roaring, but already only half of it was roaring. The shells of the 80 mortars, suitable for street fighting, were given priority to the Western Front, and even the 75 artillery shells were given priority to the Western Front, and the ammunition of the Eastern Front, although it was replenished with a part of the large, was not much in the fire. The only ones that were not affected were 8 105-mm grenades and 5 150-mm cannons, as well as 3 203-mm howitzers, among many other large-caliber guns. Relying on the superiority of caliber, it directly bombarded the position behind the 21st Brigade and was entangled with the 5th Field Artillery Wing supported by the 5th Division.

The three mountains around Luoyue Slope are all within the attack range of the 21st Brigade, and under the premise of artillery clearing the road, the hills on both sides have been opened out of two safe passages, and there is no threat of mines, and the devils frequently threaten the mountains on both sides.

"Report, the 1st Guerrilla Brigade found the chariot units and cavalry units of the 5th Division in Shouguang!"

"Got it!" Although Huang Huamin's expression was very calm, his heart was overturned. That area was originally defended by the 1st Regiment, and now it was taken over by the 3rd Regiment, but he had just transferred a battalion to supplement the forces of the other passage, and a regiment of the 10th Regiment there was struggling to face the attack of the frenzied Kunisaki detachment. But I don't want to be equally crazy about the Fifth Division, which also transferred all its troops this time.

The intensive attack that day made Huang Huamin very proud, and he almost didn't take the 5th Division in his eyes. But at this time, he found out that several of his novice regiments were a little worse than the Fifth Division, and the battlefield was not just a competition of equipment. Although it has the advantage of being defensively advantaged, if you are not sure about the specific attack of the enemy, you may have problems if you are not careful.

It is not impossible to hold it, but the only thing to do is with intensive firepower, and there is a shortage of ammunition.

"Two days at most, maybe not even two days enough!" Huang Huamin said worriedly.

He didn't know that Meng Xiang didn't have inventory at all, and it was all produced by the base and directly pulled to the front line, and the production speed of the base could also supplement the general combat consumption. So, as long as it can hold out for two days, the ammunition will be replenished very quickly.

"I had to report it truthfully! Who would have thought that the 5th Division would be so crazy! Huang Huamin shook his head and said.

"I didn't expect the devils to be so crazy. In the end, it took a long time, and it was still a real attack everywhere! Meng Xiang sighed, but there was no panic on his face. They had expected this situation in advance.

"After all, we are still few people! It's too short! Fan Chong let out a long sigh.

"Then let go of the opening on the west side. Give credit to the 10th Division that we have taught us badly, and they will have to remember the gift we gave them when they see us in the future! Meng Xiang smiled again. As for the Shouguang area of the Eastern Front, it is time for the chariot regiment to be dispatched. ”

"Ahh Numata Tazo shouted. He is now full of grievances, why did he encounter the strongest chariot unit of the vanguard army counterattacking when he attacked, and the 33rd Brigade and the 63rd Wing were all retreating infantry while defending?

Nagano Yoshikuma, who is still lying down today, is even more aggrieved, why when he attacked, every meter of advancement, several soldiers had to fall, but the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Brigade attacked all the way to the city of Jinan?

Nagase's last bit of hope was also eroded, and the 33rd Brigade successfully hit the city of Jinan, which showed his incompetence even more than his heavy losses.

While listening to the detailed report of the staff adjutant next to him, he drew his katana and ripped off his kimono. Xue Liang's ancestral katana, which his grandfather used to crush, is also going to sacrifice himself to the emperor today.

The tip of the katana stabbed into the exposed lower abdomen, and the sharp tip immediately cut a small wound, and blood flowed out at once.

As soon as he was in pain, Takehei Nagase suddenly thought of something, the knife in his hand paused, and he looked up at the adjutant staff officer next to him who was the wrong person to intermediate.

The adjutant nodded respectfully and said, "Please muster up courage!" ”

Nagase Takehei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, "Please tell General Isoya, I ......" He suddenly thought of the face of Major General Tahata Eijiro, the commander of the 33rd Brigade, who he usually didn't like, and couldn't help but pause. Then the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled: "I'm going!" As he spoke, he jerked hard. The sharp blade slashed horizontally from left to right in the abdomen.

He endured the sharp pain, thought of the words he didn't finish, couldn't help grinning, and then used force from the bottom to the top, cutting straight into the shape, becoming a cross, reaching the heart.

His knees, which he had tried to keep together, were already a little weak, and his crooked body was carried by the adjutant, and his body, which had lost his instincts, finally fell forward.

"The vanguard army is judged to be two people before and after the defense, beware of the vanguard army's deception!" He didn't say that in the end.

Ryosuke Isoya was also thinking about this problem, although the army had successfully arrived at the city of Jinan, he still remembered the first two defenses and attacks of the vanguard army.

"Fraud?" He paced back and forth in the room. Finally, he shook his head slightly.

Although the losses were heavy, Nagase had already carried it, and the Tadochi brigade attacked the city of Jinan again, and it was not very difficult to break the city depending on the situation. He escaped this time.

"The city is broken!" Outside, the troops cheered in unison.

"Great!" Meng Xiang also jumped up, "It's finally upgraded!" ”
