A regiment that received the order quickly entered the second line of defense and was ready to respond to the brothers in front of him at any time. Bookmark: A slalom bullet was constantly shooting towards the direction of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's corpses gradually began to increase. Some Japanese army began to crawl forward, after all, this method could effectively reduce their casualties. Both sides started shooting back and forth, and Wu Peilin looked at the Japanese army with an ominous premonition. If this continued, the losses of his soldiers were not as good as those of the Japanese army, but the losses of the Japanese army were reduced to a limit.

As long as they keep approaching the frontier positions, hand-to-hand combat will inevitably be inevitable, but hand-to-hand combat is what Wu Peilin least wants to see. Such casualties are the most unacceptable to the 318th Army. This happened once, but they had the city walls that were the most supportive, and the losses were also quite heavy in the end. However, this time there was no city wall. Once the Japanese army fought with their own troops, the biggest losses would probably not be the Japanese army, but themselves.

Looking around, the Japanese army had at least 20,000 troops, and this group of Japanese troops was just their vanguard. Wu Peilin had sent 3,000 people at this moment, almost half of his troops. Wu Peilin immediately said to the messenger beside him: Tell the brothers in front-line positions that the Japanese army must not fight with them in close combat in hand-to-hand combat. Let them prepare grenades and carry out effective counterattacks on the Japanese army close to the position. In addition, let heavy machine guns temporarily stop firepower output, and when the Japanese army launches a charge, we will deal with them.

After receiving the order, the frontier positions also had a twelve-point spirit. Now it is less than an hour before darkness, as long as they survive this hour, they will win. Judging from the current situation, the losses of the Japanese army are not small, at least they have lost nearly a thousand people. However, compared with the overall number of the Japanese army, the losses of thousands of people are nothing in Miyamoto's eyes. Miyamoto was even prepared to sacrifice most of the troops. His only goal is to break through the defense of Tongcheng.

The battle between the two sides continued, but the Sixth Division at the Dongcheng Gate did not launch an attack unexpectedly, which made Yao Ziqing and others a little confused. The Japanese army usually attacked together. Why did only two city gates in the north and south attack suddenly? Yao Ziqing didn't dare to be careless and confronted the Japanese army opposite. Fujita Jin's thoughts Yao Ziqing naturally didn't know that the attack of the two city gates in the north and south is now in full swing. Do you dare to be careless?

Fujita Jin was to consume the willpower of the East Gate defenders and keep them nervous at all times. In fact, Fujita Jin seemed to have thousands of people gathered to prepare for the attack, but in fact they were all done. The real attack killer weapon is the Niushima Manta Brigade, which is currently resting and preparing to attack at night.

Generally speaking, the 318th Army has also formed a habit, and the Japanese army will stop attacking at night. They have never expected that the Japanese army will launch an attack at night. The confrontation between the two north and south city gates has entered a white-hot stage. In front of the northern city gate, the Japanese army finally launched their charge about ten minutes before the sun ends.

With the strong defense of the 318th Army, the attacking crowd of Japanese soldiers continued to fall, and Miyamoto's expression began to distort at this moment. The Japanese army's attack continued. The number of Japanese troops was too large, and the sky began to get a little dark. The Japanese army took advantage of this interval and finally began to face the defenders of the 318th Army.

The frontier positions are now full of bayonets fighting sounds. The forces of a regiment defending the frontier positions have begun to quickly reduce their troops, and the regiment that supports them has quickly joined the battlefield. The addition of new forces has boosted the momentum of the original defenders and began to fight with the Japanese army. Some die with grenades, some bite each other, and some shoot the Japanese army. At this moment, the frontier positions are like the arena of ancient Rome, and both sides are fighting for survival.

However, after all, the 318th Army was more brave. The troops rushing behind the Japanese army were harvested by heavy machine guns, and the casualties of the Japanese army continued to increase. The Japanese army fighting with the 318th Army in front gradually felt isolated. After more than two hours of fighting, more than a thousand Japanese troops were finally broken on the frontier positions at the north gate of the 318th Army. At this moment, the Japanese army had already received an order from the command center to retreat. The Japanese army also began to retreat in their own direction while the night was shining.

The Japanese army suffered about 2,500 people, which only took less than five hours. But what made Wu Peilin feel uncomfortable was that the entire 318 Army suffered more than 1,000 people. If this continues, how could they defend against the Japanese attack? In fact, there is no way to do so. After all, the number of Japanese troops is too large. Even if the 318 Army has a great advantage, it seems a bit unsatisfied in the fight against life in the Japanese army.

More importantly, the Japanese army chose to attack too cunningly. Although the Japanese army was not good at night fighting, it was difficult for their own army to exert their strength in the night. The night has been used to the extreme by the Japanese army. They may have thought of this level a long time ago.

However, now the night has come, and Wu Peilin breathed a little relieved. The Japanese army generally cannot attack in the dark. However, Wu Peilin did not dare to be careless. On the frontier position, Wu Peilin urgently transferred 500 people to join the defense. Now it is time for them to clean up the corpses. The Japanese army's corpses must also be cleaned. However, they are piled together and placed outside the frontier position. In order to compete for the corpses of their companions, the Japanese army also have to invest some of the troops. Obviously, the role of the night is generally used to transport corpses.

The Japanese army still carried their companions' bodies back as usual, which was almost an unwritten rule. Of course, the Japanese army usually fired cold guns when restraining their bodies, but they did not dare to do this when facing the 318th Army. If they did this, they would probably not even be able to grab a corpse hair in the future. So the 318th Army piled up the Japanese corpses in a mess and waited for the Japanese to take them. Since it was dark, Wu Peilin naturally would not cause any more trouble. Wu Peilin felt that it was obviously too disgrace to be unable to get along with the Japanese corpses.

A strange smile appeared on Miyamoto Chao's face. He was quite satisfied with the attack this time. He destroyed at least more than a thousand Chinese troops. If he continued to consume this, he knew that it would be only a matter of time before he took down Tongcheng.

Now Miyamoto Chao's main purpose is to prepare for his night attack on the Chinese army. You must know that in the future, the night attack will definitely not be as effective as today. The Chinese army is obviously very tired. And he still has a group of fresh troops who have just rested. However, he is restraining his own body at this moment. Miyamoto Chao decided to wait until nine o'clock to launch another raid on the Tongcheng defenders.

Although the night attack seemed to be the weakness of the Japanese army, it was unexpected to attack them. Two other regiments of the 13th Division began to gather secretly. At this moment, the frontier positions of the 318th Army were also being taken seriously. After all, the Japanese army is now collecting their bodies, so we must pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army.

Miyamoto Chao's mind flashed, and then called Chief of Staff Kai Yamamoto and said: Now our army is carrying the bodies. Can we send more people and pretend that the bodies are lying on the frontier positions of the Chinese army? At that time

Yamamoto Kai said in a little embarrassedly: Although this method is good, the Chinese army can send back the bodies of our army. If we use this matter to make a fuss, the Chinese army will probably never send back the bodies of the imperial warriors to us in the future.

Miyamoto Chao disagreed: These warriors in the empire are loyal to His Majesty. If their bodies can bring victory to the empire, then they will naturally be able to rest in peace.

Seeing Miyamoto-Super's decisive look, Yamamoto Kai shook his head helplessly. He knew Miyamoto's temperament very well. Since he could think of it, he would do it naturally. Discussing with him was just a formality. Miyamoto-Super called the commander of the attack, Nakagawa's brigade commander, and then gave him a face-to-face explanation. Nakagawa understood it and walked out.

The number of Japanese troops transporting corpses suddenly increased, but this did not attract enough attention from the 318th Army defenders in the front. After all, this was not the first time that the Japanese troops had transported their companions' bodies. If they still thought about recapturing their bodies in the future, it would be better not to do anything with the 318th Army, otherwise it would cause Wang Mingyu's anger. It would be unlikely that the Japanese army would want to get their bodies back in the future.

Miyamoto looked at nearly 500 Japanese troops crawling in the frontier positions of the 318th Army with satisfaction, and sneered in his heart. This time he captured the frontier positions of the 318th Army with great confidence. Now it was his first step. The subsequent battle was becoming more and more cruel. He really wanted to see the panicked expression of the 318th Army losing its position.

Fujita Jin did not attack at all, and Yoshika Ryosuke did not participate in the night attack plan. At this moment, the two city gates in the southeast were silent, while the north gate was a bit like a storm. Yoshika Ryosuke lost about 1,500 people in this attack, while Zhang Deen's first division in Tongcheng did not lose more than 400 people, which was a considerable victory.

Compared to them, Miyamoto's trick was much more beautiful. But what annoyed Fujita later was that Miyamoto's body was used to make a fuss, and Wang Mingyu later refused to transport the body for the Japanese army. However, now, a conspiracy against the North City Gate quietly unfolded.
