That night, gunfire from both sides continued all night, and small-scale conflicts broke out one after another, but the main generals of both sides were busy reorganizing their troops to deal with the subsequent battle.

The consumption of troops on the battlefield was too great on this day. The Liefeng people believed that "the squadrons were reduced from 1230 before the war to 6070, and some squadrons had only 230 people..." In fact, there were even some squadrons with all their troops except for a few personnel, and each brigade barely maintained a system.

The losses of Liu's army were also terrifying. Sima Kancheng said: "The casualties of the troops have reached more than one-quarter, especially the casualties of the front-line combat companies are even greater, and we are waiting for reinforcements!!!"

Although he suffered such huge casualties, the attack spirit of Liu's army did not weaken at all. According to the middle and lower-level officers, "The Liefeng Army is indeed stronger, but as long as their reinforcements are one hour late, we must ensure that they will be wiped out! Our 17th Division has never suffered any defeat!"

The Liefeng Army also received reinforcements from a total of fifteen infantry brigades. With the cavalry, artillery and special forces under their jurisdiction, the Liefeng Army increased to nearly 30,000 people. Facing the friendly forces that were severely damaged, the reinforcements said: "Please forgive me! Our army's reinforcements are late, and we will definitely avenge your army tomorrow!"

On the first night of the third Hebei Battle, it was amid the constant adjustment of the troops of both sides, merging the establishment, burying corpses, robbing the wounded and fighting the night battles. Soon the morning of June 5th arrived.

Both sides had the idea of ​​launching an attack. Before five o'clock, just dawn, Sima Kan stood on the high ground and looked down at the battlefield, asking, "Where has the reinforcements been?"

"The telegram said that it will arrive in three hours!"'

Sima Kan clenched his fists: "Okay! As long as we win this battle, we can counterattack north along Jinpu Road!"

The big cat in Sun Jinchen's arms asked, "Which division is Lai Yuan?"

Sima Kan replied: "It's Commander Su Xue's 23rd Division!"

Sun Jinchen said with some disappointment: "It's a woman's army!"

Sima Kan scolded without hesitation: "I don't know, I am the wife of the division commander! Besides, the 23rd Division has outstanding military achievements, and is longer than our 17th Division in history! When you guarded Caozhou, I led this army to defend Dezhou with me, and Chen Yunjie used dozens of times the troops to open Dezhou..."

Sun Jinchen immediately said nothing. He defended the siege of Yue Zhonglin's army in Caozhou with a reinforcement battalion of the Republic of China, which had been ten times more than a dozen times. However, the Republic of China was a gathering of swordsmen and generals in Guanzhong, not to mention that he had the cooperation and restraint of Liu army on the periphery. It was not as good as Sima Kan's achievements in defending Dezhou alone.

"The division commander is not bad to us. I know that this 23rd Division is my old leader and can fight! Well, we can open up a situation and completely resolve the battle after Commander Su and his team enter the battlefield!"

As he was speaking, deafening sounds of cannons sounded across the opposite side, and countless shells were drawing beautiful arcs and began to bombard the Liu army's front. The Liefeng Army actually attacked before the Liu army.

There was still fog on the battlefield, and after this round of dense shelling, there was even black smoke everywhere. Sima Kan opened his eyes wide, but could not see anything. He shouted loudly: "Our 17th Division cannot lose to these Fiery Feng troops. Pass on your orders with all your heart! Prepare to attack!"

In fact, there is no need for Sun Jinchen to convey the order. The brigade of the brigade of the brigade had already rushed up roaring.

Chen Tianming saw the crowds in front of him and couldn't help but shout: "It's so spectacular..."

The Liefeng Army used all its troops, and all twenty-five infantry brigades were put into battle. Nearly 30,000 infantry launched another assault. Soldiers who had experienced the Guide Civil War could not help but say, "This is the second Guide..."

For the two divisions on the battlefield, their total strength was only over 30,000, and some of the teams had not arrived at the battlefield. The battle cost was even more huge yesterday, and the available forces of the entire army are only 20,000. The Liefeng Army immediately launched a square formation of twenty-five battalions, with nearly 30,000 troops.

But the Liu army was no longer different from the 17th Division on the Guide battlefield, and their troops and weapons were more.

Hundreds of cannons roared, and the shells drew countless beautiful arcs and fell into the enemy's formation. The formation of the Fierce Wind men was immediately covered by smoke. Like the bloody battle of Guide, you can also see that many places were torn apart, and the officers and soldiers cheered suddenly.

History repeats itself again, and the formation in front of us was neat and neat, and there was no sign of any damage, but the sharp-eyed veteran found that the formation in several places had actually become a bit broken.

In fact, the Liefeng Army could only silently bear all this, especially the several infantry brigades that were broken yesterday, which was even more miserable. A brigade lost half of its troops in yesterday's bloody battle, and another half of its troops in today's artillery bombardment.

But for the Liefeng Army, which had been in the 96th year of Republican Republic, their soldiers were very excellent and were world-class in terms of individual soldiers. They were silently enduring all this.

"Get the bayonet!" The formation of the Liefeng Army was like the sea. The veterans of Guide had long experienced this. The shelling could only bring out a few waves. However, this time the shelling was not like Guide, just a wave, but vowed to smash the formation of the Liefeng Army to pieces.

Individual units suffered even more blows, a shell that exploded in place could almost knock down a squadron, and the squadron leader and all officers groaned in pools of blood...

According to statistics from the Liefeng people, before the two sides officially caught fire, nearly 3,000 people were injured and killed in the shelling, including a wing captain, four brigade captains, and sixteen squadron captains. The Liefeng Army called it "the most terrifying shelling ever!"

But after suffering huge casualties, the Liefeng Army finally approached a hundred or two hundred meters in front of the Liu Army Front, and the morale of the soldiers suddenly rose. The middle and senior officers immediately issued an order loudly: "Impact!"

But what Liefengjun did not expect was that someone in the opposite position shouted: "Charge! Charge!"

According to incomplete statistics, at least six companies took the lead in the charge that day, and even the Liefeng Army recorded this: "Some enemy troops launched a counter-charge before our army charged. The morale of the enemy and the strong attack were actually the strong enemy of the Imperial Army, and the sea of ​​corpses and blood were not unique to the Imperial Army!"

In fact, the Liefeng Army was also shocked by the opponent's courage. Two disproportionate teams collided together at the first time, killing sounds shook the sky, and the advantage of military strength was offset by this time. All that was left was courage and thorn fighting skills. The front row of the Liefeng Army was soon broken through by the courageous Liu Army.

Li Jianshuang, who was watching all this on the high ground, had to admit: "This is the Seventeenth Division..."

The two sides fought together, and the casualties they paid were almost the same. People fell to the ground at any time, but the bayonet counterattack of Liu's army won the most precious time for Sima Kan. Liu's army, who was under the bombardment of the Liefeng Army behind the position, began to shoot intensively.

Rows of soldiers fell in the formation of the Liefeng Army, and the formation was hit by dense shells and scattered guns, but they quickly rushed up again on the bodies of friendly troops.

The artillery that Liu Jun had always been proud of showed its greatest power in the battle. The artillery commander at the scene admitted: "Their formation is so dense and so close, it is impossible for us to escape the target." Two grenades whistled away. They crashed directly into the formation of the Liefeng Army, like a big hammer smashing a big hole on a wall. Where the shells passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere! Blood, brains, and shattered limbs splattered on the people around them, but the officers of the Liefeng Army shouted in the screams of the injured, "Fill in this hole! You are Liefeng Warriors, don't stop!"

The Liefeng Army was extremely brave. Moreover, their artillery was indeed performing well. Tens of thousands of shells were fired within two hours. Before the battle officially began, the Liu army in three companies was forced to withdraw from the battle. Many artillery pieces were destroyed in the shelling, but the Liu army's artillery was more active, and all artillery fired at the fastest speed. The shells that exploded over the Liefeng Army sprinkled countless deadly shrapnel on the crowd, causing huge casualties.

However, in this case, the Liefeng Army continued to attack forward one after another and tore up the front lines in many places. In order to regain the position, the Liu army launched several company-level bayonet counterattacks, and the casualties of the battle became increasingly serious. Moreover, the artillery of the Liefeng Army also occupied the position with the advance of the infantry. Their shooting also caused huge losses.

The commander of Sima Kan's regiment Sun Jinchen's eyes were red. He threw down his beloved cat and roared and fought with the infantry rushing up with his own infantry. The sword in his hand slashed on the body of a Liefeng army. Blood gushed out, dyeing all his military uniform red. He immediately pulled out the sword and rushed into the enemy formation, shouting: "Follow me! I will set an example for the entire regiment..."

Neither side could afford such huge casualties, but no one was willing to withdraw from the battlefield. The bloody battle lasted for a full two and a half hours. At this time, Liu Jun cheered, and Su Xueshi had appeared in the distance.

Su Xue's division arrived at most of the two infantry regiments, six infantry battalions and some artillery soldiers. Su Xue lost her usual elegance. She rode on the horse and shouted: "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! It's time to make achievements!"

Bai Ling personally led a regiment to fight. Liu Jun was very energetic and fought hard. But Liefeng Army did not show any weakness. It actually launched wave after wave of attacks. It seemed that they did not have any casualties and did not take the thousands of cold corpses on the battlefield seriously.

The two regiments threw themselves into the battlefield with thunder and launched a fierce attack. A piece of farmland became the most fierce place for the two sides to compete for. According to Bai Ling's subsequent report, "The dead were lying in rows, just like the queue they had arranged a few minutes ago. The God of Fate never allowed me to witness a more bloody and miserable battlefield than this." Many soldiers who participated in the battle later recalled this battle, thought it was the most tragic battle they had experienced. The soldiers of the liefeng took the bravest and most desperate actions like being possessed, which made Su Xue feel very impressed. They flocked through this farmland, but soon collapsed in the sea of ​​blood.

After Sima Kan urgently called a regiment to launch a side attack, he forced the Liefeng Army to withdraw from the farmland.

A regiment of Li Jianshuang took the opportunity to cross the farmland and launched a counterattack, but soon, hundreds of casualties almost collapsed the regiment and was forced to withdraw to rest. At 10 o'clock in the morning, Su Xue's two battalions and Sima Kan and Li Jianshuang's battalions jointly crossed the cornfield, but the biggest disaster in the battle occurred. In front of them, eight brigades of the Liefeng Army suddenly appeared, and 1,100 casualties were killed or killed in an instant. However, the Liefeng Army also suffered the greatest disaster. After a banyan team crossed the farmland, the entire regiment suffered a devastating blow.

This farmland became a homeless land. A Liefeng soldier later recalled that there were corpses everywhere and people could not step on the ground when they walked over. The battle between the two sides continued until the evening. The Liefeng army returned without success and retreated.

But the next day, a new Liefeng unit of a division appeared on the flank. The Liu army, who had heavy casualties, gave up Hejian County before the Liefeng Army, and with all its equipment, the wounded and prisoners retreated to the second line.

At the end of the third Hebei Battle, the Liefeng Army claimed that they had won a complete victory, but what a tragedy this was. Almost all the participating squadrons suffered casualties from destruction, and the casualties of the wing and brigade were generally more than half.

Within two days, the Liefeng Army and the Liu Army paid 12,000 and 18,000 casualties respectively. In addition, dozens of people were captured, the number of deaths of the Liefeng Army even reached 5,400, and the number of deaths of the Liu Army reached a terrifying 3,800. In addition, 5,000 soldiers from both sides were fatally injured.

After getting the number of casualties, Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but sigh: "If there is hell, I'm in hell now..."

You should know that the three divisions participating in the battle were his most elite direct troops. They suffered such heavy casualties within two days, and were forced to give up Hejian County. This was unprecedented.

Liu Jingxiao said this, not to mention the Liefeng side that claimed victory, the 11th Army that originally formed the battle in Cangzhou was estimated to have suffered one-fifth of its troops, and the casualties on the infantry were even greater. The snowflake-like telegram flew to the Army Province.

In this case, the 11th Army used in Cangzhou was immediately upgraded to the Sixth Front Army. In addition to the 11th Army and the 13th Army, the 6th Front Army also directly under the jurisdiction of two divisions and three mixed brigades.
