After capturing one after another and recapturing the three lines of defense, Yang Chen decisively gave the order to stop the attack.

The participation of the Japanese 10th Division's Engineer Wing, Baggage Wing, and Guard Brigade directly under the division also happened to give the Tiger Regiment an opportunity and reason to stop breaking through.

Otherwise, if the attack suddenly stops at this time of invincibility and momentum, it will not arouse the suspicion of the little devil.

So, just like that, as if agreed, both sides stopped attacking.

On the Tiger Regiment, after recapturing these three lines of defense, they began to repair the fortifications under the leadership and command of their respective battalion commanders.

Prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle.

On the side of the little devils, it was originally to prevent the Tiger Ben Regiment from breaking through, but seeing that they chose to cease fighting, they were not prepared to attack back again.

Anyway, as soon as the vanguard of the 20th Division arrives tomorrow, not to mention the three lines of defense outside the city, even the five or ten lines of defense, they can be easily recaptured.

The only thing to do now is to trap the Tiger Ben in this encirclement, and that will be enough.

Both sides have their own thoughts, and time passes like this.

All night, seemingly peaceful, in fact, there is a hidden murderous intention.

The devil soldiers of the 10th Division were worried that the Tiger Ben Regiment would launch a breakthrough battle again at some point, so they maintained a high level of vigilance all night.

It can be described as physically and mentally exhausting.

Of course, the Tiger Bentuan also did not take it lightly, but compared to the little devils, it was obviously much better.

……

The next day, as soon as the eastern sky turned a trace of fish belly white, the Japanese 10th Division and division commander Ryosuke Isoya summoned a group of devil officers under his command to the division command tent.

Everyone had two big dark circles under their eyes, a tired face, and two yawns from time to time.

After the fierce gaze of the head of the master, Ryosuke Isotani, his spirit was lifted again, and the whole person was also a lot more sober.

"The 20th Division, where is it now?"

"Half an hour ago, the 20th Division sent a message saying that they had arrived at Jihong Town, 40 miles away, and it was expected that they would be here in another hour."

The chief of staff, Causeway, straightened up and responded loudly.

After finishing speaking, his brows frowned slightly, and he asked a little puzzled: "I just don't know, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Tiger Ben Tuan."

Why did you stop the charge and never attack again?

Could it be that this is Yang Chen's conspiracy? ”

"Possibly!"

The leader of the Sewu detachment, Major General Sewuping, nodded approvingly, and continued: "Yang Chen is extremely insidious and cunning, and he often plays cards out of common sense, and ordinary people can't figure out his mind at all.

This is also the fundamental reason why our Imperial Japanese Army has repeatedly suffered defeats against Yang Chen's Tiger Regiment on the Shanxi battlefield.

If it weren't what I expected, the reason why the Tiger Ben Regiment didn't continue to break through overnight was probably to wear down our spirit and will.

I have to say that Yang Chen's conspiracy has succeeded again.

The officers and men of our army maintained a high-intensity vigilance overnight, and this was a great drain on our army's spirit. ”

"Hmm."

All the devil officers nodded in agreement. Because not to mention the imperial soldiers under their command, even themselves, they didn't rest well all night.

The chief of staff didn't pick up the expensive but heard a different question, and his heart jumped violently: "Could it be that the Tiger Regiment is planning to break through at this time?" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled. Because as the sky grew brighter, and after a whole night's suffering, everyone's spirits were exhausted and relaxed.

"Humph!"

The division commander Ryosuke Isoya snorted coldly and shouted: "No matter what medicine Yang Chen's gourd sells, and no matter what Yang Chen's idea is.

Everyone, cheer me up, I must not take it lightly at this most critical time, let it stand out from the encirclement!

An hour later, it's the time of the Tiger Bun's death!

Even if I try my best, I must resist the breakthrough of the Tiger Bun Regiment! ”

"Haya!"

……

Time is like this again, in the suffering of a group of devils, minute by minute.

Finally, an hour later, the vanguard of the 20th Division led by Kawagishi Fumizaburo arrived.

Originally, the old devil Ryosuke Isoya and Kawagishi Bunzaburo were still rivals and competitors; Therefore, although the two did not have much grudge in the past, they did not have any friendship.

At this time, because of the appearance of the same enemy, the two suddenly became close friends.

After learning that Kawagishi Bunzaburo was coming, Ryosuke Isoya took a group of officers under his command to greet him as if he were a distinguished guest.

His face was full of anticipation and hope, as if he was about to see a long-lost relative.

The two sides met, and after a simple greeting, Kawagishi Bunzaburo said a little impatiently: "Isoya-kun, you can quickly tell me about the current situation." ”

"Kawagishi-kun, you have traveled day and night, all the way in a hurry, you should be very tired, why don't you rest first.

Anyway, Yang Chen and his Tiger Ben Regiment have been surrounded by our 10th Division, and they can't escape! ”

"Nope."

Kawagishi Bunzaburo shook his head slowly, as if he thought of something, there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, and his voice was slightly low: "In the first battle of Shanxi, the Tiger Ben Regiment brought endless shame to my front army and the 20th Division!"

I have made an oath that he will use Yang Chen's head and blood to wash away this great shame one day!

Now, I can't wait for a moment!

As for what Isoya-kun said about day and night, this is nothing at all for our Imperial Japanese Army.

So, let's talk about how to defeat the enemy. ”

"That's good!"

Seeing that Kawagishi Bunzaburo had made up his mind, Isoya Ryosuke was no longer reluctant, and this was exactly what he wanted, so he walked side by side with Kawagishi Bunzaburo and began to tell the specific situation of the two days and the current situation.

……

The picture pulls back to the county seat of Tengxian County.

Commander of the Tiger Regiment.

The battalion commanders of all battalions got up early in the morning today, and at this moment they had gathered at the regimental headquarters, ready to listen to the teachings and orders of Yang Chen, the regimental seat.

"Report to the regimental seat, an urgent telegram came from the reconnaissance battalion, the vanguard of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived in Tengxian County, and is in one place with the 10th Division."

"Let the reconnaissance battalion continue to closely monitor the little devil's every move!"

"Yes!"

The Messenger agreed, sat down again, and began to tap the button to generate electricity.

Yang Chen's gaze as sharp as an eagle falcon swept over everyone, and he slowly spoke: "You all know the situation.

Now that the vanguard of the Japanese 20th Division has arrived in Tengxian, it is not surprising that they will soon attack.

I told you what to do about it last night.

Now go back and get ready for battle!

In addition, please note that all battalions must strictly ensure that the communication lines are unblocked, and I will issue new combat orders to you at any time according to the actual situation! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up in unison and said yes.
