The ten-row army was incredible within these three days.

"Yoxi!" Lieutenant General Xiong Yuan, the commander of the 108th Division, who was personally in charge of Licheng, was also happy after receiving the front-line battle report.

For this person, this battle in Southeast Jin was first of all, an opportunity for him to avenge his previous shame.

The 921st Division is an old rival of the Japanese army in Southeast Jin. Half a year ago, the Battle of Niangzi Pass was a 109th Division, which was responsible for assisting the 20th Division to attack Niangzi Pass, in Qigan Village. After the New Year, the battle of Shentouling even beat the 108th Division to be miserable.

However, as a second-line division, the 108th Division is mainly used to defend the county towns of nearly 200 kilometers in the long line of Handan. It is difficult to gather all the main forces and the 921st Division to fight to the decisive battle.

This time, with the determination of the commander of the front army, he, the division commander, gathered the four main infantry corps under his command for the first time. Although the veterans of two of the infantry corps suffered huge losses and supplemented a large number of baggage troops, their combat effectiveness was still there, and he was fully confident that he would have the wrestle with the 921st Division.

Secondly, it is more important. This battle is also his last chance to save himself.

When the new commander of the North China Front Army of Japan, Shan Shanyuan, told him with a cold face that since the Army Base Camp could replace a general, it would be easier for a lieutenant general to be removed from office.

He hopes that he must save his reputation and the 108th Division!

The Japanese army saw that it was a ten-way army, but in fact it was divided into four main roads, east, west, south, and north. The 108th Division was responsible for the South Road. The South Road was mainly composed of four infantry regiments under the 108th Division, and attacked north in two directions. One was from Changzhi to Xiangyuan to attack Liao County, and the other was from Tunliu Jingbi County to attack Wuxiang.

In order to ensure the strength of the troops, each Japanese army is composed of two infantry corps and some auxiliary troops, with a force of up to 10,000 people.

Such troops, let alone a Chinese infantry division or an infantry army, the Japanese army will not be afraid of such forces at all.

The powerful force and firepower guarantee made the early stage of the battle as expected by the Japanese generals. All the resistance of the Chinese army was like a blow-up and snow that was defeated. In just three days, it invaded the core garrison of the 921st Division.

Even if the 921st Division escapes, the Chinese mountain people in these places cannot escape! Destroying their homes, destroying daily necessities, and even killing all the population on the spot, turning these confidants into white land is already in front of you.

Whether strategically or tactically, the 109th Division is almost approaching victory.

You said, how is Xiong Yuan, a Japanese lieutenant general, not happy to show off his face?

However, after only 24 hours of joy, Xiong Yuan's face became gloomy.

His southern army was unstoppable, but the other three sides encountered trouble on the afternoon of the third day. The Chinese actually deployed a second line of defense based on the mountains.

And this time, they never retreated again.

The elite troops were like the 16th Division, among which the army used more than 50 artillery pieces and 12 fighter jets to assist. It took a day to go forward, but it only took 3 kilometers.

The Chinese who had been retreating continued to fight to the death. Even though more than 3,000 corpses were left on the broken line of defense, there was actually a second and third line of defense behind.

The fierce artillery fire never stopped, the entire mountain was burning, but I don’t know how many Chinese were still shooting in it, and then shooting again until they died.

The 16th Division unit also broke more than 1,500 officers and soldiers in this service, and the one-to-two-killing loss ratio was shocking.

Compared with the slow progress of friendly forces in the beginning of stubborn resistance, the 108th Division encountered a more headache-inducing problem than stubborn resistance.
