Liu Changshun quickly adjusted his tactics, and the assault battalion led by Wang Kaixiang aimed the main target at the remnants of the field detachment, which had become the flank support point of the entire 24th Division. In the face of Wang Kaixiang's desperate assault, Yedi Jiaping was not afraid, and concentrated his remaining forces to fight a wonderful battle with Wang Kaixiang.

The two sides are desperately fighting for a support point. As long as Wang Kaixiang seized a support point of the field detachment, before he could gain a foothold, the Japanese army had already quickly launched a counterattack under the cover of grenadiers and heavy machine guns. Noji Jiaping's desperate counterattack made it extremely difficult for the assault battalion. Almost every support point has to go through repeated battles before it can finally be determined.

In order to maximize the damage to the Japanese army, Wang Kaixiang replaced the vanguard company with all submachine guns and fast and slow machines, and equipped each person with six grenades. Use a large number of automatic firearms to fight the Japanese in close combat. Once the Japanese support point was captured, the Japanese counterattack was encountered, and after the Japanese army was heavily wounded with a dense rain of grenades, the Japanese troops who tried to fight a white-knuckle battle with the attacking troops were killed and wounded by concentrating their submachine guns.

Although the Japanese counterattacked fiercely, Wang Kaixiang fought very hard. However, under the full cover of the follow-up mortars and several heavy machine guns, and with the support of the flares fired by Liu Changshun regardless of the cost, Wang Kaixiang's progress was still quite large.

Although Liu Changshun mobilized all the artillery he could mobilize to support Wang Kaixiang's offensive, the infantry and artillery coordination tactics of the Second Brigade could not be compared with the First Brigade after special hard training. In order to support the attacking force in the immediate vicinity, a mortar company could only draw up capable forces to keep close behind the attacking force to provide fire cover nearby.

Although the 2nd Brigade was not as proficient in infantry and artillery coordination tactics as the 1st Brigade, its artillery skills were not inferior to those of the 1st Brigade. The four 90-millimeter guns that cooperated with Wang Kaixiang formed two artillery groups to cover Wang Kaixiang's attack operations alternately. It ensured that as soon as the Japanese light and heavy machine guns rang out there, the shells would explode there.

Its accurate mortar fire suppressed the light and heavy machine guns of the field detachment, especially the heavy machine guns. After an hour of fierce fighting, after the fierce battle on the front line of General Shi, the only two remaining heavy machine gun squadrons of 16 Type 92 heavy machine guns lost most of them and were forced to withdraw from the battle.

Having lost its heavy machine guns and losing artillery support, the field detachment still resisted toughly, but its confidence was already obviously insufficient. In addition to relying on grenadiers to cause some trouble to the opponent, the field detachment, which had lost a qiē backup and could only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, had already resisted a bit of a strong crossbow.

The fatigue of the Japanese army, which had been slightly revealed, was keenly grasped by Wang Kaixiang. Despite the fact that they themselves suffered heavy casualties under the fierce counterattack of the Japanese army, almost regardless of casualties, two of the four companies had lost their combat effectiveness because more than half of the casualties were lost. However, Wang Kaixiang, who still had two companies in his hands, immediately threw into battle a complete company that had never been used before, and the first battalion and second company with the strongest combat effectiveness of the four regiments, into battle at the first time.

Wang Kaixiang had troops to replace, but under the condition that other Japanese troops were entangled with other units of the Second Brigade and could not divide their troops to support, Noji Jiaping, who was already obviously lacking in support, had no troops to replace. I can only watch my squadron being consumed one by one under the opponent's desperate fight to fight a war of attrition, but there is nothing I can do.

I knew that as long as I held out until dawn, the air force would come over, and I would have hope. But the battle lasted until five o'clock in the morning, and when the sky was already beginning to darken, after having already put the last guard squadron at hand into it, Noji Kahei, who had no more troops to adjust, knew that he had been defeated.

The sky-high fire that ignited on the front line of Junde, even if the communication soldiers shouted out their voices, they were never able to get in touch with the division and regiment headquarters, so that Noji Jiaping knew that the division and regiment headquarters had already had an accident. The accident at the division headquarters also meant that the subordinate units of the entire 24th Division could only fight on their own in the face of the opponent's all-out counterattack. Not to mention supporting each other, it is difficult to even try to cooperate with each other.

After running out of the only troops left at hand and knowing that there was no hope for reinforcements at least for a short time, Noji Jiaping, who had put the last squadron of the field detachment into battle for half an hour, took his wing headquarters and the last infantry squad, left the guard squadron that was still in the hard battle, and quietly disappeared under the cover of the last touch of night on the horizon.

The departure of Wild Land Jiaping put the last remnants of the Field Detachment, which had once resisted stubbornly and once contained Liu Changshun's offensive, into a complete predicament. For the remnants of the guard squadron of the field detachment that resisted at the end, in order to reduce casualties, Liu Changshun directly advanced his mountain artillery battalion and used artillery shells instead of two hours of fierce fighting.

When more than 40 mountain shells, more than 100 infantry shells, and mortar shells tore the remnants of the last squadron of the field detachment into pieces on a small hill where the field detachment was last trapped. As a former formed wing, apart from the capture of more than a hundred seriously wounded who had been incapacitated in previous battles, the field detachment no longer existed.

Before dawn, the main field detachment of the 24th Division's flank covering force was finally completely defeated, and the 1st Division of the 5th Regiment also completed the final division of the rest of the 24th Division. Despite the considerable cost, after being two hours late, the first stage of the combat mission was finally completed. But after Liu Changshun glanced at Wang Xiaoming, he saw the relaxation in the other party's eyes.

The field detachment was defeated, and the remaining baggage soldiers and engineers on the flank of the 24th Division were still stubborn despite resistance. However, lacking heavy weapons, their resistance was rapidly decreasing in the face of mountain artillery and infantry guns fired at close range, and large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns fired at flat fire.

According to the establishment of the Japanese army, the strength of the engineering wing of the original four-unit division and regiment reached more than 700 people, and the number of baggage troops even reached more than 4,000. However, after the July 7 Incident, the Japanese army continued to form new divisions, which made the well-trained officers and soldiers more and more insufficient.

When these new three-unit divisions were formed, not only was the number of wings changed from the original four to three, the cavalry wing was changed to a cavalry brigade, and the artillery wing was also changed from the previous four to three, or even two. The number of troops reduced by the engineer and baggage wings was even higher than that of the field wings. The strength of its engineer wing has dropped to more than 400 men, and the number of baggage troops has dropped significantly.

Not to mention that there is only the main force of the baggage troops here, even if all the strength of the more than 700 people of the baggage wing of the 25th Division is here, the combined strength of the engineer wing is less than 1,000 people. Of these, less than half of them are armed.

An hour after the field detachment, which was the support force of the flanks, was wiped out, the flank defense line composed of baggage soldiers, engineers, and even cremation soldiers, which had lost its main force, and nearly half of them without rifles, finally could no longer hold on. The resistance of these miscellaneous soldiers, who had already killed and wounded more than half of them, finally collapsed after the sky completely brightened under Liu Changshun's attack almost regardless of losses.

Aside from the weak, almost negligible resistance of the partially divided forces. Most of the people retreated all the way to the southern Xinhua line. But he didn't expect that before he could run far, he was blocked by the South Group that swept from south to north led by Ma Chunsheng.

The ** part that ran out was unarmed, and some were even carrying only a branch or a bayonet. Even the few who had guns ran out of bullets in the middle of the night. They are not field wings, and not everyone has guns. The armament of ammunition is not even more in accordance with the standard of one hundred and twenty rounds per infantryman.

Since most of the ammunition was to be given priority to the supply of field wings such as the Forty Wing and the Field Detachment. These sapper wings, which did not have many weapons of their own, could only be treated as second-class, and even thirty rounds of ammunition per person. And the baggage wing guarding Baoshan even issued only fifteen rounds of ammunition per person.

For these Japanese soldiers who are almost empty-handed, Ma Chunsheng will be polite there. The first battalion had a machine gun, and the submachine gun in his hand swept in one go, and the battle was solved cleanly with three strikes and five divisions by two. Compared with the stubborn resistance encountered by Liu Changshun before, these miscellaneous resistances, which had lost all will to fight, could almost be ignored.

After dealing with these miscellaneous soldiers, Ma Chunsheng, who had already received Liu Changshun's urging to go north several times, left a company to clean up the battlefield and take care of the prisoners, and took the main force to take over the Fourth Regiment, which had already suffered more than half of the casualties, before the Japanese planes arrived, and swooped down on the back of the 40th Wing, which was fighting hard with Wang Guangyu. At the same time, a force was used to bypass the first line of the general stone that was fighting fiercely, and rushed to the northeast of Tangyuan to cooperate with the basic regiment of the 1st Division to monitor the 22nd Wing of the Japanese army.

Hit until dawn, the more you fight, the colder it becomes. Tried many times to contact the division headquarters, hoping to get instructions, but to no avail, Komatsuzaki Rio Daisa tried several times to get rid of the opponent and retreat south to get closer to the division headquarters. However, under Wang Guangyu's stubborn fighting, he fought for half the night, and the 40th Wing suffered heavy casualties, but it was never able to get rid of the entanglement of the opponent.

In fact, by dawn, Komatsuzaki Rio Osa could no longer fight. The attack on the first line of General Shi by the 40th Wing, which had been put into the attack with the field detachment a few days ago, certainly caused extremely heavy casualties to Wang Guangyu, and almost wiped out the old foundation of the first brigade.

However, it also suffered heavy casualties under the stubborn resistance of its opponents relying on favorable terrain. In addition to the two brigades of the field detachment, which were disabled, the second brigade of the 40th Wing, which was successively put into the attack, also suffered more than half of the casualties and completely lost its combat effectiveness. The 1st Brigade also suffered nearly a third of the casualties.

Only the 3rd Brigade of the Forty Wing actually remained intact. In addition, he was transferred to serve as the guard unit of the division and regiment headquarters and the guard unit of the rear baggage base. By the time Wang Guangyu launched a full-front counterattack, less than half of the 40th Wing's troops were actually available.

Only half of the troops were entangled by Wang Guangyu, although he knew that the opponent was launching a counterattack on all fronts, but Komatsuzaki Rio Osa could not mobilize a single soldier to deal with his flank. Even the opponent had already penetrated into the depth of his position, nailed to his heart like a nail, and the two companies that were relying on life and death were powerless to destroy.

After dawn, more than half of the living forces at hand were already consumed, and he could only give up the attempt to block the breakthrough opened by the opponent and completely shrink the position. At this time, after a fierce battle with Li Mingfeng in the middle of the night, the third brigade was almost about to defeat Li Mingfeng, who was stuck in the breakthrough. But under the fierce artillery fire and desperate resistance of the opponent, he suffered one and a half squadron casualties.

The last two remaining squadrons, Rigeo Komatsuzaki, really didn't dare to add to it. This is already the only mobile force left in the 40th Wing, and after losing him as the commander of the wing, he will become the commander of the light pole. Attempts to re-block the breakthrough opened by the adversary can only wait for the arrival of the daybreak air force.

Although he already knew that his opponent had the kind of artillery that would blow up and blow up in pieces, Komatsuzaki hesitated for a long time and still shrank all his troops into one place. In his opinion, as long as the sky is bright and the aviation arrives, the opponent will not dare to open fire in order to save the artillery. Under the cover of aviation, he can get rid of the entanglement of his opponent and retreat to the south with all his might.

It was the first time that Rio Komatsuzaki, who had survived almost a sleepless night, looked forward to the appearance of the extremely cute figure of the air force in his eyes for the first time.

In fact, Komatsuzaki didn't know that he was going to order the Third Brigade to persist even one more offensive. It is very likely to defeat Li Mingfeng, who is now unable to gather even a company of defensive forces, and has almost exhausted all the ammunition he carries. And Wang Guangyu, whose vital strength has almost been exhausted, can no longer send a single soldier to support Li Mingfeng.

If the breakthrough opened by Wang Guangyu is re-blocked, and the two companies that broke through into the depth of the 40th Wing are eliminated, Wang Guangyu, who is already at the end of his rope, can only stop the offensive. At the same time, because the strength has been depleted of embers, only two companies that are not satisfied with the formation of the defense, the huge general stone line, is likely to be captured by the 40th Wing.

Once the general stone line is lost. Under the condition that the sky was already bright, the 40th Wing relied on the favorable terrain and under the cover of a large number of air forces, and Wang Guangyu, who was actually exhausted from fighting, had almost no possibility of recapturing it.

At that time, Komatsuzaki Tsukio, who occupied the first line of the general stone of the Luobei portal, could break north into Luobei, where the army was already extremely empty. The retreat can rely on the favorable terrain on the front line of the general's stone, stubbornly defend under air support, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. At least you can be invincible when the time comes.

But the balance of victory was sometimes a little bit closer, and Komatsuzaki gave up on resealing the breach opened by his opponent and gathered his troops together, although it was safe for the time being. However, he completely surrendered the initiative he originally occupied on the battlefield.

And the 40th Wing, which has been entangled with Wang Guangyu's department, wants to shrink, how can it be so easy. Although he still blocked the opponent's offensive in the end, under the opponent's stubborn play and similar to the next three indiscriminate plays, the shrinking position was close to the opponent, not to mention, and the opponent hit a lot of nails.

The entangled defensive line with the opponent not only made the 40th Wing always have to defend against mortar shells and machine gun bullets from the opponent from time to time. It also tires the air force and cannot let go of its hands to support the ground offensive......
