The 55th Division of the Japanese army launched a six-day attack, and its combat loss rate reached two-thirds. There was no way, a brigade of the 22nd Division of the 3rd Army of the Japanese army came to join the battle. The 20th Division, which was the right wing attack on the Zhangbei defense line, was also injured more than half, and the entire Japanese army that was the attack on the Zhangbei defense line, showed pessimism. The key is that such a battle loss had a huge mental blow to the Great Japanese Imperial Army. Although the Japanese soldiers still fought bravely, their desire for confidence began to shake.

At night, in the Japanese camp, the soldiers drank wildly, especially this kind of life-threatening tactic. In order to prevent the soldiers from feeling war-weary, the officers allowed the soldiers to indulge in war. At this time, the Japanese soldiers were full of ugly things around the bonfire. Some danced desperately, some drank in big mouths, and some were singing loudly. Each of them was very clear that only Amaterasu knew whether the attack would come back alive tomorrow. For the heavy price they paid, the senior Japanese commander comforted his subordinates, and the Chinese army suffered even more casualties. They had become the last of their strength, and the Japanese Imperial Army would soon break through this line of defense.

The Japanese soldiers who were very disciplined naturally believed in the words of the superiors. Especially the battleground of the Songhu battlefield made the Kuomintang army retreat step by step. This huge spiritual pillar was a magic weapon to support the Japanese soldiers to launch a desperate attack. However, in the middle-level Japanese officers, especially the middle-level Japanese officers who knew the Chinese defense line, they lost confidence in breaking through the defense line and occupying Chahar. They clearly saw that the losses of occupying Chahar would be unprecedented. I am afraid that the First Front Army would be able to fill the hole of Chahar if they were filled in.

At this time, the captain Yamura, who was sitting alone by the campfire, looked at the crazy soldiers sitting there blankly. In the meantime, he remembered the hometown of Tokyo, the small rivers in his hometown and the quiet village. Especially before going out from the local area, his wife led the children and the white-haired old lady to stand at the entrance of the village to see him off. Their figures were shaking in front of him. Yamura felt very painful, but his expression could not tell anything.

At this time, a soldier sang a song from his hometown. The sad tune quickly infected people around him, and many people sang it. Yamura calmed himself for a moment, as if he remembered something. He took out a diary and wrote in the fire: Tomorrow I will launch an attack as the first echelon. The soldiers only have one belief to break through the defense line of the Chinese defenders. Their determination to fight for the emperor can move Amaterasu and bless them to rush bravely. Maybe this is my last stroke, a Japanese warrior's last stroke!"

Yamura looked at the starry sky in the direction of Japan and wrote with some hesitation: "Mother, my closest relative. Kade! My most lovely wife. If I am loyal to the Emperor, don't be sad for me. You must take good care of your mother and child. When our son grows up, I hope he joins the imperial army and continues to fight for the Emperor. Please Kade." At this time, the soldiers' singing stopped, and suddenly a soldier cried loudly.

Yamura walked up and roared, "Bastard, Japanese warriors will not shed tears." The Japanese soldier stood up in a hurry and stopped crying. Yamura replied, "We are for the sacred war. Japan's future is placed on our shoulders. Even if the jade is broken, we are the bravest warriors." "Swear to be loyal to the emperor and for the great Japanese jade is broken!" The soldiers around him raised their chests and raised their heads and shouted loudly. Yamura nodded with satisfaction and walked away with great strides.

In another wing, also by the bonfire, a wing captain was writing a battlefield report. The wing captain wrote in the report: "Whether there is any problem with our strategic goals in the Battle of Chahar. Such cruel consumption is a trap of the Chinese. You must know that even if the two Chinese people exchange for us, we may not be able to afford it. We recommend that the general report to the headquarters to re-examine the plan to occupy Shanxi...."

The next day, Yamura launched an attack as the first echelon. Soon he was hit by a shell and completed his mission without leaving a complete body. The corpse leader handed over the report the next day. As of the evening, he was removed from his post and then escorted to the rear. Until the end of the war, he did not enter the front line to fight. Fortunately, he saved his life and returned to his hometown to reunite with his relatives after the war.

There were also bonfires burning in the defensive positions of the Chinese army. Outside a tunnel, a group of people sat around the bonfire, drinking and eating meat. At present, every night at the front line of the position, every meal was beef, mutton and soy wine. On the first line of the prairie was colder in the autumn, and on the other hand, it was necessary to let the soldiers fighting on the front line eat and drink well. Perhaps everyone was used to the cruel battle, or perhaps they no longer cared about the god of death. The bright moon in the sky was hanging high and the stars were everywhere, and the soldiers were enthusiastic discussions.

"Damn it, it's said that the Japanese are extremely fierce, and I think it's just that. Our buddies are living with Japanese here, and they know that they are afraid. They run happily than rabbits when retreating," said a soldier. Another soldier echoed: "I was so scared when I first got on the position, especially when I saw the black Japanese rushing upwards. I'm sure you'll see this scene. My calves are skewed and my brain is almost blank. But when a brother next to me was shot, the bullet shot from the edge of the helmet into my eyebrows. Suddenly, my fear was gone, and anger rose in my heart, and I shot the angry bullet at the Japanese dynasty."

"This brother said it well. After the training, everyone became cold-hearted!" "That's right, I killed three Japanese devils today, and I felt very satisfied." Everyone talked and started a heated discussion. "Hey! I said, "Plane Commander, why don't you say anything? Look at you, you are a young man from the military academy this year!" The young platoon leader was pondering and heard someone asking and turned around and said, "Brother! You see very accurately. I am a student from Wuyuan Military Academic this year. I entered the position last night and participated in the fierce battle today."

An old veteran asked, "Young man, are you afraid of going to the battlefield for the first time?" The young platoon leader said shyly: "It is a lie to say not to be afraid. After all, after rigorous military training, I am mentally prepared. Since I have chosen to serve the country, I may stain the battlefield at any time. We are all soldiers, especially in this country's crisis. Our soldiers have the responsibility and obligation to throw their blood into the blood and defend the land of the Holy Spirit. Today, when I saw my comrades around me fall down one by one, I soon lost my fear, and all that was left was hatred."

"I'm so good. I deserve to be a graduate of the military academy." "Platform Commander, to be honest, I underestimated you when I started fighting today. I think I am a veteran, but your tactical literacy and calm command are very impressed by me." "Yes, platoon leader! If you hadn't saved me, I would have reported to hell for this skill. At that time, the Japanese army rushed into the trench, and I faced three Japanese devils alone, thinking that it was over. I had only one idea at that time, and I had to pull a cushion before dying. I completely ignored the bayonets and sent a bayonet into the chest. Just when the other two Japanese devils were about to stab my chest, the platoon leader fell from the sky, holding a battle shovel in his hand, and chopped down two Japanese devils very quickly."

Their new platoon leader was floating around, and the young platoon leader felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and left the bonfire, walked to a high point and looked southwest involuntarily. In a word, he came to his mind about going to Taiyuan in Taiyuan, Shanxi. At that time, he had just graduated from Wuyuan Military Academy, and received an order to gather in Taiyuan to prepare to go to the front line. Moreover, all of their military academy graduates would be involved in the front line of Chahar.

He came to Taiyuan without any expectations, and his girlfriend hurried from Xi'an to see him off. That night, his girlfriend opened a room in a hotel in Taiyuan City and took the initiative to give him his body. But the young platoon leader resisted the desire in his heart. He silently hugged his beloved girl for a night, and the girl shed tears for a night. When he saw him off, the girl looked at him affectionately with her swollen eyes. The feeling of separation from life and death was heartbreaking. He held back his feelings and said with a smile: Waiting for me to pass through, the girl nodded solemnly.

At this moment, the young platoon leader silently said in his heart that his beloved girl has been farewell to the future. For the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, for the beloved girl, and for the happier life of yours, I must be ready to sacrifice my life at any time and fight to the last moment! The young platoon leader waved his clenched fist hard, turned around and strode to the meteor to walk to the bonfire and said, "Brothers, rest, welcome tomorrow's battle!"

On this quiet night, the soft moonlight shines on the grassland, and the glory that sprinkles on the earth is a cold mockery. The soldiers on both sides fight face to face, and on the battlefield they become cold-faced killers and cruel bloodthirsty animals. As the sublimation of human nature, does it stump them not like peace? Do they yearn for the reunion of their families and a beautiful life? However, the primitive desires of human beings have shaped another face, the prey of the weak, the law of survival of human beings, and the inherent instincts of animals.

This night, how many parents are worried about their son's safety, how many wives are crying, hoping for their husbands' return, how many infatuated girls are eager to see each other. Men conquer the world and destroy many happy families. Perhaps this is the history of human development, a colorful picture full of blood and cruelty...

At the Taiyuan First War Zone Command, the sound of telegrams continued to rise and fall, and the combat staff entering and leaving were still busy. At this time, Mu Yaping, Peng Dehuai and others were obviously more busy than the beginning of the war. "Commander Mu, we have been in the Chahar defense line for 8 days. For such a fierce battle, I can't stand the heart. The Northern War Zone Command reported that we had suffered major casualties. The Japanese army's 5th Division, 55th Division and 20th Division were all withdrawn. It is obvious that the Japanese army also paid a heavy price. We are not far from the expected purpose."

Mu Yaping said: "But the Japanese army has put the 22nd Division of the Third Army and the 12th Division of the First Army into the Zhangbei Defense Line. I am afraid that the fierce battle will continue." Peng Dehuai said: "The Japanese army has not invested in the new division in the Chahar defense line, which shows that the Japanese army lacks troops. I have a bold idea. The Japanese army's Third Army has removed another brigade of the 22nd Division at the Kangbao defense line. I consider drawing the 2nd Division of the New First Army to the Zhangbei Defense Line to strengthen its strength. The next step is to change the defense line. I suggest that the 1st Division of the New First Army, the 2nd Division, and our 120th Division will all be pulled to the front line. I guess the Japanese offensive will gradually weaken due to insufficient vitality."

Mu Yaping did not say anything. He really couldn't guess Peng Dehuai's next strategic concept. There was no way. This was the gap and he had to listen carefully. Peng Dehuai continued: "The Kant's defense line went deep into the hinterland of the grassland. In fact, the Japanese army was a feint attack from the beginning. Since my powerful cavalry was located on this line, the Japanese army began to invest my troops. However, the Japanese army did not expect that we would have a large number of supplementary troops. The Japanese army had no choice but to draw troops from the Kant's defense line. I suggest using cavalry troops to counterattack and fight on the Kant's defense line, completely disrupting the strategic deployment of the Japanese army, and reducing the defensive pressure on the Zhangbei defense line."
