In the first half of the night, the supreme commanders of China and Japan on the battlefield in Xiaobanhe received their reply from the top of the mountain to send telegrams to them some time ago.

Lieutenant General Huang also received a reply from General Chen, informing his reinforcements that they had set out and could arrive within three hours, and asked Lieutenant General Huang to end the battle as soon as possible. If the Japanese reinforcements came up, all their efforts would be wasted.

Major General Sasaki received two calls from the Tokyo Base Camp, and the other was sent by his immediate superior Lieutenant General Nakajima Imao, the commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

After reading the above two callbacks, Major General Sasaki came to a conclusion that in tomorrow's battle, the 30th Brigade could receive full support from the Army Air Force, but reinforcements would not be available in at least these few days.

In the telegram, Lieutenant General Nakajima Atsugo also revealed a piece of news. Because the 14th Division was in a very difficult situation in Lanfeng, the base camp intended to let the main force of the 16th Division advance quickly to Henan, rescue the 14th Division first, and then turn around to rescue the 30th Brigade.

In Major General Sasaki's opinion, if the Tokyo Base Camp really implements this plan, it would be like a 30th Brigade to survive on its own. Through today's battle, Major General Sasaki knew very well that the fate of the 30th Brigade could not be changed by the few fighters and light bombers of the Army Air Force alone.

At this time, Major General Sasaki felt a little desperate about his future and the 30th Brigade. However, Major General Sasaki was a soldier after all, and even at the last moment, he still had to fight.

At midnight, after three or four hundred casualties, the Japanese army's ring defense circle on the east coast had basically been built. However, the area of ​​this sanitation circle seemed too small for more than 3,000 Japanese troops, and compared with the original firepower control range, it was a huge reduction in fire.

Magistrates his position. Since receiving a call from the base camp and the division headquarters, Major General Sasaki, who was in a very heavy mood, was even more emotional when he saw his troops being squeezed into such a narrow area.

An army that once proud of his attack power was trapped by the other party in this small land that was only 600 meters long and 500 meters wide. On average, each soldier was assigned to the area where he was inhabited was no more than 100 square meters. Faced with this dangerous situation of his troops, Sasaki had to admit that the 30th Brigade was about to end his foot. However, the major general did not give up. He still had a trace of luck in his heart. At least the attack power of the Chinese army in front of him was not very good, and he still had no choice but to do anything to himself. Maybe he and his 30th Brigade could support the moment when the division's main force came up.

Major General Sasaki was lucky at this time and hoped that a miracle would appear. However, he was never lucky on the battlefield. As for miracles, if miracles often occur, they would not be called miracles!

Major General Sasaki couldn't know that just as he was patrolling the position, the three brigades of the Central Army, 9,000 troops of 6 regiments of the Central Army arrived at the Western Front battlefield and were assigned to Lieutenant General Huang's direct command. At the same time, a large amount of ammunition was transferred to the front line from the Suxikoukou Central Army. (The ammunition discarded by the Suxikou Central Army was everywhere.)

After communicating with Cheng Jiaji on the radio, Lieutenant General Huang knew that the battle on the West Bank had basically ended. In addition to the chariot brigade, the remaining Japanese troops were either wiped out by the troops of the independent 100 brigades or were defeated by the people of Xiaoxian, or they were separated from the large army during the battle and disappeared on China's land forever. (In areas like Xiaoxian, where the civilian customs are strong, the Japanese troops who were left alone often die miserably, and most often become burnt pigs.)

In short, there are no Japanese troops (including squadrons) above the size of squadrons in Xiaoxian County. After knowing this situation, General Huang ordered Cheng Jiaji to pull all his troops to the bank of Xiaoba River and use various weapons to shoot with the Japanese army to cooperate with the main force's full-scale attack on the Japanese army.

At the same time, the three brigades of the Central Army were urgently taking over positions from local troops. Although the Japanese front-line troops noticed it, they did not pay attention to it. (They believed that the Chinese army was just transferring the reserve team, and did not realize that they were going to face an army of another style. This negligence would immediately bring disaster to the Japanese.

At 2 a.m. on the 25th, the full night attack launched by the Chinese army broke Sasaki's last fantasy.

What the Japanese could never dream of was that the first shot was not the main force of the Chinese army on the east bank of the Xiaoban River, but the Chinese army on the west bank.

The Japanese army on the east coast will launch fire strikes on them on the other side of the Chinese army, and it is not mentally prepared. However, the Japanese army is prepared and prepared. The Japanese position is too narrow and can be penetrated by one shot, so they can't even avoid it. In addition, the Japanese would not expect Cheng Jiaji to stack so many mortars and heavy machine guns directly on the river bank and fire to the east bank at the same time. You must know that there is also within the range of the Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns!

The Japanese army, who focused almost all their attention in front of him, were caught off guard by artillery shells from behind and heavy machine gun bullets fired from behind.

Although the Japanese army has basically transferred its positions to the trenches under the surface, the targets selected by the independent 100 brigades' firepower strikes are "abnormal" for the Japanese army. Cheng Jiaji, who was personally commanded, did not conduct a comprehensive attack on the entire Japanese position, but instead concentrated all the firepower on the Japanese position closest to the river bank for about three minutes. In these three minutes, this position of the Japanese army suffered a firepower strike of unimaginable density. In just three minutes, more than half of the Japanese army in the two squadrons suffered casualties.

When the Japanese army, whose head was covered, turned all the artillery to the west coast for fire revenge, Cheng Jiaji had already led the officers and soldiers who participated in the fire attack to sneak out of the Japanese fire range along the traffic moat that had been dug long ago. The hundreds of Japanese shells only injured the officers and soldiers of the Independent 100 Brigades behind the palace, and wasted a lot of artillery shells that had been very precious to the Japanese army at this time.

Cheng Jiaji was also a little bit worn by a mortar shell from the Japanese army. He touched the wound without taking it seriously and rode away towards Sun Xuzi. He had made an appointment with various princes in Xiaoxian three miles away to discuss important matters. It would be better not to let others wait for the first time when they met.

Before the frustrated Japanese army could turn the gun back, the artillery of the Chinese army on the east coast also came on the field.

The power of the artillery fire of the Chinese army on the east coast is not the same as that of the west coast. Not only does it have a large number of mortars, but it also has a large number of mountain cannons, field cannons, and war defense cannons. It blasted the Japanese army in the encirclement, which made Major General Sasaki feel like crying without tears.

Since the July 7th Incident, the Japanese army has always been under the cover of planes in the sky and heavy artillery chariots underground, relying on powerful firepower to rush around the Chinese territory, and have suffered from the artillery fire of the Chinese army. Many Japanese officers and soldiers were killed and injured by the artillery fire of the Chinese army, especially the various artillery that the Japanese army had just participated in the bombardment of the West Bank were even more destroyed by the artillery fire of the Chinese army because of the exposure of the target. If there were not many trenches to cover the casualties and equipment of the Japanese army.

This was the first time since the 30th Japanese brigade that the 30th Japanese army was attacked by the superior artillery fire of the Chinese army. For a time, the 30th Brigade's morale had fallen even more severely because it was surrounded.

As soon as Major General Sasaki and other Chinese troops stopped artillery fire, they immediately emerged from the cover department. He wanted to guide the commanders on the front line on the positions to adjust their firepower deployment quickly. Of course, going to the front line to conduct tactical guidance to some command centers is just an excuse. In fact, Major General Sasaki was worried that the morale of the army was unstable and went to the front line to cheer up the squadron leader.

In terms of heart, Major General Sasaki may have an overly conservative problem in military command, but he is still a serious and responsible military commander. If he really has only one side, then this is not irresistible. However, Sasaki is also a perverted murderer who is inhumane, which makes the real person a little puzzled! Sometimes, in many ways, the Japanese nation is really a kingdom of madmen that all normal people cannot understand. However, these madmen must never let him enjoy the treatment of patients in mental hospitals. This may be because the animal nature of their bodies is really too much more than that of other people. In a word, the result of incomplete evolution!

The situation of the Japanese frontier positions was much more than Sasaki Kitao thought. When he arrived at the front line, many areas of the Japanese ring defense circle were already crowded with soldiers of the two armies who were tragic close combat.

Although Lieutenant General Huang had a regular Central Army of eight regiments in his hands, he did not rely on his large-scale charge like yesterday morning. Instead, he still used the afternoon tactics to use eight regiments to dig the trench from three directions to the Japanese positions while blasting forward. While the fire that was so fierce that the Japanese could not lift up, the Chinese troops from all directions took the opportunity to extend the trench and the forward position forward for dozens of meters (mainly through explosions, the Chinese army had fewer medicines at this time.), and finally, before the medicine was used, the position was pushed to a place less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese ring defense circle.

As soon as artillery fire stopped, the Chinese army jumped up from all directions and launched an offensive like a tiger as it went down the mountain to the Japanese defense line.

Faced with the attack from the Chinese army, the Japanese army did not take the Chinese soldiers rushing towards them seriously at the beginning. In the Japanese army, they imagined that the Chinese army was just a little more crowded, and in terms of attack power, it would be very poor and there was nothing to be afraid of.

When the Chinese army braved the rain of bullets shot from the Japanese position and rushed to the front of the Japanese army one after another, the Japanese army realized that these troops were not the troops that were about to collapse in the morning. Not only did most of the troops in this army have the same style as their opponents in Shanghai and Nanjing, but the combat style is much stronger than the troops in the morning, and they can actually fight with themselves.

The Japanese trenches were very narrow, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to move inside. They squeezed into so many battles and were unable to use them. The soldiers on both sides did not retreat. They could not use them if they could not use guns. If they were not easy to use bayonets, they would use bayonets. If they were not easy to use, they would then use pinch, kick and bite with their teeth. The battle would enter a white-hot state at the moment of the beginning. The blood flowed out of the feet of the soldiers of the two countries who fought desperately in the trenches quickly, and the blood flow of the soldiers of the two countries who died in battle was flowing along the trenches. As time passed by one minute, the blood flow gradually reported into streams, and the low-lying terrain of the trenches covered the soldiers' ankles.

"Go to four more regiments and let the 97th Independent Brigade and the 333rd Brigade go up and tell Yang Dingbang (brigade commander of the 97th Independent Brigade) and brigade commander Liu of the 333rd Brigade that if their troops collapse, please ask them to commit suicide!" Lieutenant General Huang, who was usually gentle and elegant, had long since thrown his style to the point of not knowing where he stood red with his eyes and his face was a little distorted, and he was standing in a large pit less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position and loudly issued a combat order.

He was anxious! Eight regiments went up and rushed into the Japanese position, but an hour later it was too late to develop into the depth of the Japanese army. Among these eight regiments, six of them were elite Central Army troops, and more than 10,000 people couldn't see the Japanese defense line. The war ahead was so cruel that even the wounded could not be withdrawn. If he dragged it down, he would not say how many casualties would be. Finally, if the Japanese finally got to fight, it would be a pity. There were not many shells and medicines. How much would it cost to rush again? He couldn't even think about this question!

In order to defeat the Japanese defense line earlier, even though he knew that there were already crowds of people in front of him, he still had to send four more regiments up.

At the same time, Major General Sasaki was also anxious. The courage and tenacity shown by the Chinese army in this charge made Sasaki understand that if he could not defeat this Chinese army in a short period of time, then the 30th Brigade would definitely be the loser in such a long-term high-consumption flesh-and-blood battle.

Just as Major General Sasaki wanted to fill in his last reserve team (composed of wounded and non-combatants). The gunshots from the West Bank attracted Major General Sasaki to look back. After a closer look, Sasaki immediately let out a howl full of despair.

Behind the Japanese army, in the darkness, there were countless shadows of the Xiaoban River. The ship was rushing towards the Japanese positions on the east coast.
