The battle continues.

The little devils of the 3rd Division launched several charges in a company throughout the morning, but under the stubborn resistance of the allied officers and soldiers, they all ended in failure, leaving only corpses all over the ground, and they were unwilling to retreat.

The little devils withdrew, and the coalition forces were all relieved and relieved.

The little devils suffered heavy casualties, and they couldn't be the same.

Although the casualties of the little devils are almost twice as many as them, because the strength is far inferior to the little devils, the combat effectiveness at this moment is still far inferior to the little devils.

If it weren't for the geographical advantage, with the strength of the officers and soldiers of the coalition, they really didn't have the strength to fight with the little devils.

The temporary tranquility is only paving the way for the next storm, and the withdrawal of the little devil does not mean defeat, just to take a break.

Yesterday the whole day failed to break through the enemy position, and there were also heavy casualties, Matsuyama Yoshimasa and Murakami Takeyoshi had been severely reprimanded by the division commander Fujita Shinto.

Today is another morning, and we still have not been able to break through the enemy lines.

The division commander, Fujita Susumu sent another telegram, severely reprimanding Matsuyama Yoshimasa and Murakami Takeyoshi.

In order not to disappoint the division commander Fujita Shin, and for the sake of the Wusha on his head, Matsuyama Yoshimasa and Murakami Takeyoshi had decided to break through the enemy's position before the sun set and lead the army to occupy Linhuai Pass.

……

In several other battlefields, the fighting was almost as fierce as the battlefield where the new regiment was located.

In particular, the position held by the 114th Division of the 51st Army as the main force was almost captured by the Japanese army several times.

If it weren't for the 51st Division's division of troops to support, it's really hard to say whether it would be able to hold the position.

The 114th Division has suffered serious attrition, and its casualty rate has reached two-thirds from yesterday to today.

And now, there are even less than 2,500 officers and soldiers who still have the strength to fight a war.

The casualties of the rest of the divisions were also extremely heavy, and in the case of the 51st Division, its casualty rate was also close to four layers.

The casualties of the allied officers and soldiers were so high, and the casualties of the Japanese army can be imagined.

When these battle conditions were transmitted back to the ears of the commanders of the Japanese divisions on the south bank of the Huai River, the three division commanders almost hated each other, and there was no longer the past to be invincible.

Disgrace!

This battle was definitely the greatest humiliation for their divisions, and even for their entire Japanese Empire, after they officially attacked China.

Entering the Northeast, occupying Beiping, breaking Shanghai, and stepping on Nanjing, which time did the number of Chinese officers and soldiers not be several times that of their Imperial Japanese Army? However, even so, their divisions together did not suffer such casualties.

And now, just a small Linhuai Pass has caused them heavy losses, and almost all the casualties of each division and regiment have exceeded two-thirds.

Even if there are heavy casualties, the most critical problem is that they have not broken through the Linhuai Pass so far.

This does not make Fujita Susugu, Yoshika Ryosuke, and Ogisu Tatsu angry.

If, if this matter reaches the ears of His Excellency the Commander and returns to the Japanese Empire, even if they are not held accountable, I am afraid that they will not have the face to continue to be the commander of this division.

Shame must be washed away with the blood and lives of the enemy!

The three Fujita were almost carried away by the defeat in front of them, and after the three met again, they all made a decision firmly.

At any cost, we must also completely annihilate the officers and soldiers stationed at Linhuai Pass on the north bank of the Huai River.

Now they are no longer here to complete the tasks assigned to them by His Excellency the Commander, but to wash away their shame and maintain their dignity and glory!

With the order of the three people, the little devils of the divisions who rushed through the north bank of the Huai River once again launched a charge against the coalition positions after a short period of rest.

The battle began again, and it was another afternoon, and from twelve o'clock until the sun set, the gunfire of the entire section of the Huai River in Linhuai Pass hardly stopped.

It's just that over time, the intensity of the gunfire has gradually decreased.

The weakening of the gunfire does not mean that the intensity of the fighting has decreased, it is only because the number of people participating in the battle has been decreasing over time, nothing more.

In front of the entire Linhuai Pass, the north bank of the Huai River is almost full of strong smell of blood and unpleasant gunpowder smoke for dozens of miles, and it cannot be blown away at all by the river breeze.

At the beginning, the little devils also treated their own wounded, but as the battle continued and the number of wounded increased, the little devils no longer cared about their wounded, but left them to lie on the battlefield and fend for themselves.

On the coalition side, because of the increasing number of wounded, the medical staff is far from enough.

Not only are there not enough medical personnel, but even the necessities needed to stop bleeding and dressing wounds, such as gauze, are almost all depleted.

Many wounded officers and men could not receive timely medical treatment, and in the end they could only die on the battlefield because of excessive blood loss.

Both sides were red-eyed, and by now, no one had the energy to care for the wounded.

The little devils are simply too lazy to take care of it, but the coalition side is forced by the strong pressure given by the little devils, and they don't have the ability and energy to manage it at all.

The wounded don't have the energy to care, let alone the corpses.

Whether it was the battlefield in front of the coalition officers and soldiers, or on the positions they were on, there were almost all the bodies of the dead everywhere.

By now, there are far more corpses than living people.

The two sides who killed the red eyes now have only one goal left in their eyes, and that is to annihilate all the enemies that can be seen.

Finally, as the night came, the intensity of the battle between us and the enemy finally decreased a lot.

One is the reason for physical strength, the other is the reason for the excessive consumption of ammunition, and the reason why the Japanese army does not want to fight the coalition forces in the dark night.

After two days of fierce fighting, almost all the units of the coalition army, except for the new regiment, moved their families to the front line of the battlefield, whether it was the 51st Division or the 51st Army.

The 51st Army, in particular, distributed almost all the ammunition and there was nothing left.

And the ammunition distributed to the officers and soldiers can last for a day at most, and this is still because the fighting continues at any time, and the attrition of the little devils is also very serious.

If it were the most intense time of the battle, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold out for even three hours.

This is the reason why last night, taking advantage of the night, the officers and soldiers of the coalition collected a lot of trophies from the battlefield.

Otherwise, I am afraid that even if the 51st officers and men still have ammunition in their hands, there will definitely not be much left.

This is true on the part of the coalition forces, not to mention the little devils.

And this is one of the most important reasons for the slowdown in the pace of combat.

You must know that after these little devils crossed the Huai River again, they had not received logistical supplies from the division and regiment headquarters.

If it weren't for picking up the ammunition of the dead comrades on the battlefield, these little devils would have run out of ammunition long ago......
