Annihilating the attacking forces of the little devils, Li Hong did not give the order to continue the attack.

The security regiment has no heavy artillery and no aircraft cover, and if it is necessary to storm and take the forward position, the defensive line will suffer heavy casualties.

Even if the position is recaptured from the enemy, the devil machine guns and artillery on the other side of the river can easily hit the defenders of the position.

Li Hong only transferred three companies to guard the second line of defense, and now one battalion of the security regiment has a staffing of ten companies.

The second line of defense is a buffer zone of tug-of-war between the two sides, which can neither be left undefended nor guarded by too many soldiers.

The 8th Wing of the Devils was basically disabled, the heavy artillery positions were also destroyed, and the enemy could not make any big waves, and could not organize an effective offensive at all.

The battle in the north of the city ended, and a system prompt sounded in Li Hong's ears.

System Prompt: Congratulations, the host slashes and kills a devil, rewards Bofors with a 75mm mountain cannon, rewards five boxes of shells, adds 20 points to luck, rewards 70 points for experience, and 80 points for meritorious service.

System prompt: Congratulations, the host slashes and kills a devil captain, rewards two MG-34 machine guns, rewards 30,000 bullets, rewards 35 experience points, and rewards 40 merit points.

System Prompt: Congratulations, the host has received a team bonus, rewarding 2000 XP points and 2000 merit points.

……

Li Hong looked around the battlefield that had just ended, and didn't care much about what equipment the system exploded.

Soon after, Zhao Dashan, the commander of the 18th Brigade, personally found Li Hong.

"Advisor Li, Commander Sun's phone!"

"Let's go, let's go back to headquarters!"

Li Hong didn't even bother to wipe the blood stains on his body, and soon, they hurriedly ran back to the brigade headquarters.

After entering the headquarters, Li Hong took the phone from the communication soldier, and Sun Liancheng's voice came from the opposite side.

"Hey, Li Hong, I heard the gunfire in the north of the city stopped, how is the battle situation over there?"

"Chief Sun, the situation in the north of the city has stabilized." Li Hong replied, and then said: "Chief Sun, don't worry, the second and third lines of defense are still in our hands. ”

"Okay, that's good, if there is no Brother Hong to help tonight, I'm afraid that the defensive position in the north of the city has already fallen into the hands of the Japanese army......" Sun Liancheng said with relief.

Li Hong said confidently: "Chief Sun, you and I are sincerely united and work together to fight the enemy, I believe that the little devil will definitely not be able to conquer Taierzhuang!" ”

Sun Liancheng learned about the situation outside Beicheng, and then hung up the phone. With Li Hong's security regiment guarding the position, he was finally able to rest assured.

After hanging up the phone, Li Hong arranged defensive tasks for his subordinates, as well as repairing and strengthening defensive positions.

Because he was worried about the lack of guards in the city, he was afraid that the other two divisions of the devil would take advantage of the weakness, so as soon as Li Hong finished explaining the task, he returned to the city with the cavalry battalion and the fourth infantry battalion.

Li Hong dared to withdraw two battalions from the position outside the north city, leaving only the 3rd battalion to guard the position, that was because he saw through the negative tactics of the 8th Wing of the devil, and it can also be said that the little devil was completely scared.

If the little devil was really determined to capture the Beicheng position, the enemy would have already increased his troops and launched another attack, and if he attacked with the combat strength of the 4th Division, the three battalions of the Security Regiment would not be able to withstand the enemy here.

After returning to the city, Li Hong re-armed the city and outside the city.

……

Japanese Army, 4th Division Command.

The commander of the 8th Wing of the Japanese Army, Nakajima Sandwich, had just sent a telegram to the division headquarters to report on the battle situation on the front line and the casualties of the troops.

In the battle north of the city tonight, the 8th Wing of the Japanese Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and most of the devils have been killed.

At such a cost of casualties, it can be said that the Japanese 4th Division has never lost a battle.

The officers and generals of the 4th Division were all shocked when they learned of the casualties of the 8th Wing, and when they heard that the security regiment had joined the battle, their expressions showed a little fear.

Yuzaburo Matsui, commander of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, put down the telegram, gritted his teeth, and said: "Everyone, the forward position in Beicheng is still in our hands, but the security regiment has already participated in the battle, how should we deal with such a strong enemy?" ”

After listening to the words of the division commander, the devil officers in the command headquarters were all silent.

The security regiment is like an invisible mountain in front of the 4th Division, and the strength of the security regiment and the strength of the soldiers are not at all something that the 4th Division can defeat.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army is not a brutal attacker, and when they encounter a strong enemy, they will never be arrogant like other troops, hitting stones with eggs and looking for their own death.

In just one battle, the 8th Wing was already crippled by the Security Regiment, which deeply shocked the 4th Division of the Japanese Army and also let the devil know how powerful the Security Regiment really was.

The devil officers were silent for a moment, and the devil's chief of staff slowly said to all the officers: "Everyone, with all due respect, the security regiment is like a ravine that we can never cross, if our 4th Division increases its troops to fight for the Beicheng position, even if we take the position, I am afraid that our 4th Division will pay several times the price tonight......"

None of the devil officers present refuted the words of the chief of staff, Kojiro Nohara, because what he said was indeed the truth, and the security regiment was so strong that they did not have the courage to win at all.

Using the cost of nearly 10,000 casualties of the division to fight for the defensive position in Beicheng was unbearable for the 4th Division.

Then, Nohara Kojiro, the chief of staff of the devil, spoke again: "Everyone, although my words have affected the morale of the army a little, I am speaking with facts, the security regiment is so powerful that it is beyond our imagination, and I don't want the officers and soldiers of our 4th Division to die in vain......"

Nohara Kojiro's words have been made very clear, and he does not agree with continuing to increase troops to fight against the security regiment in the north of the city.

"We agree with the chief of staff's suggestion, and we will not stop the 5th and 10th divisions from making meritorious contributions, but our 4th division cannot let our subordinates be cannon fodder for this kind of meaningless war."

All the devil officers in the command did not approve of the increase in troops and the re-fight of the security regiment.

As the commander of the division, Yuzaburo Matsui didn't want to fight with the security regiment anymore, and the key battle had no benefits.

Besides, the forward position in Beicheng has been occupied by the 8th Wing, and compared to the other two divisions, it can be regarded as a bit of success, and the headquarters can also make a difference, so why provoke the tiger of the security regiment again?

Immediately, Yuzaburo Matsui sent a telegram to the Japanese North China Command in the name of the 4th Division, reporting the results of tonight's battle and casualties.

The devil's telegram exaggerated that more than 2,000 people were killed or wounded, and they reported nearly 5,000 casualties, and they reported occupying two defensive fronts, even though they only occupied one defensive position.

After Yuzaburo Matsui sent a telegram to the headquarters, he gave another order to the 8th Wing, in which he ordered the 8th Wing to hold its ground and not to take the initiative to provoke the security regiment......
