After nightfall, the Japanese army began to continue to approach the position of the Eighth Route Army, and the defeat of the first brigade of the independent mixed brigade obviously stimulated the arrogant Japanese army, and the Japanese army, which thought it was invincible in the world, was angered by the instructor, and everyone in the Japanese army gritted their teeth and vowed to annihilate the instructor tonight to wash away the shame of the day's defeat.

In particular, all the officers and men of the 12th Division, the 12th Division, also known as the Kurume Division, almost all of its soldiers came from the Kurume area. Although the Kurume Division is not famous, its real strength is completely outside the prestigious Sendai, Kumamoto, and Hiroshima divisions, and their infantry establishment is no different from other divisions of the Japanese army, but the heavy artillery brigade it has is not available to most divisions and regiments, and most other divisions and regiments have a field heavy artillery wing, which is already very powerful, but the heavy artillery brigade of the 12th Division has two field heavy artillery wings, one field artillery and one mountain artillery wing.

The Kurume Division has four artillery wings in just one heavy artillery brigade, and in addition to the heavy artillery brigade and regiment, the division also has a heavy artillery wing, an anti-aircraft artillery wing, a tank wing, and a vannished flying team.

The 12th Division has such a large establishment, which is very rare in the Japanese army, although their reputation is not obvious, but the 12th Division and the whole regiment think that they are the most powerful division in Japan, if it is not for the base camp to let them stay in the rear, their reputation will definitely surpass that of the Sendai and Kumamoto divisions.

The instructor of the Eighth Route Army is also considered by the Japanese military circles to be the most powerful army in China today, and now the two strong meet each other, and the strongest against the strongest, which makes the adrenaline of all the officers and soldiers of the 12th Division soar sharply.

At the same time, on the instructor's position, the large force of 40,000 men of the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Brigades was already in a strong position that had been constructed, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Japanese army.

All the actions of the Japanese army were seen through by Zhang Cheng, and after losing air supremacy, the Japanese army would most likely truce during the day and attack the instructor at night.

However, like the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army, which was born in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, had the same tradition of fighting at night, and in the southern Jiangxi Soviet area, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army generally chose to fight at night in order to avoid being hit by the planes and heavy artillery of the Kuomintang Army.

As for the direction of this war, Zhang Cheng has basically felt the pulse of this battle after some careful consideration, and the Baotou Blocking Battle will officially start tonight, with the strength of more than 40,000 troops in the four brigades, the Japanese army will undoubtedly hit its head and bleed.

Zhang Cheng was also happy to accept this situation, intending to let the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th brigades hold back the main force of the Japanese army and constantly consume the living force of the Japanese army.

According to the battle plan, 40,000 troops of the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Brigades would repeatedly resist the Japanese army on the Donghe position and start a positional battle with the Japanese army. At that time, the Japanese army's rear road was cut off, and they were attacked by the instructor back and forth, Zhang Cheng thought that they would have no second result except for being completely annihilated.

Lieutenant General Uemura Seitaro decided to divide the troops into three routes, with the remnants of the 1st Brigade and 10,000 puppet Mongolian troops to attack the instructor's left flank position, and then the 11th Brigade and 10,000 puppet Mongolian troops to attack the instructor's right flank.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, through the observation of the positions of the Chinese Army, we can find that the middle position defended by the instructor is the most solid, with more than 20,000 soldiers coming to defend us, we might as well concentrate our forces to attack the weak left or right flank of the Chinese army, so as to disrupt the troop arrangement of the instructor, so that they can not take care of it and are exhausted." A Japanese staff officer suggested to Lieutenant General Kiyotaro Uemura.

"No, no, no, the people of Shina are weak, we are strong, and there is no need for the strong to consider the way the weak play, this battle should be dominated by me, and our powerful Kurume Division should break through from the front, crush the enemy with the most powerful force, destroy the enemy, and let the enemy know what a sad end it will be to oppose our Kurume Division."

Lieutenant General Kiyotaro Uemura was as arrogant as ever, and did not take the 40,000 instructors in front of him seriously, and in his opinion, after the instructors lost the superiority of the air force, their combat strength would inevitably be vulnerable.

"The courage of His Excellency the division commander is really admirable, the strong do not need to consider the thoughts of the weak, what a brilliant remark, I think this sentence can be placed in our Lu Shi's textbook for all students to study." The staff officer next to him pouted sensitively.

As the most powerful division of the Imperial Army, we should crush the enemy from the strongest defense, not only to destroy their bodies, but also to destroy their spirits, so that the people of China know that our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible!"

Seeing this, the other officers also made a big splash of praise, and for a while, the entire division headquarters was full of sycophants, which made Lieutenant General Uemura Kiyotaro extremely useful, and he almost felt fluttering.

"Yo Xi, what you said is very reasonable, how can the vulnerable Shina people be the opponent of our Imperial Japanese Army? Our opponents should be the Soviets, the giant bears of the north, and the Mi people on the other side of the Pacific, and the small people of China are just a small stone on the way of our imperial army. In the midst of the sound of sycophants, Kiyotaro Uemura became more and more arrogant, as if he had trampled the Soviet Union under his feet and was about to rule the world.

Finally, after this disgusting and numbing touting event ended, Lieutenant General Kiyotaro Uemura officially issued the order to attack; "The warriors rested for half an hour after dinner, and the heavy artillery brigade took the lead in destroying the positions of the Chinese people with the most powerful firepower, and then with the chariot wing as the vanguard, the whole army assaulted, broke through the positions of the Chinese people in one fell swoop, and killed all the Chinese people, leaving no one behind."

In Uemura Seitaro's view, with the strength of the heavy artillery brigade, there is no opponent in the whole of Asia, as long as the heavy artillery brigade is dispatched, the so-called defense line of the Shina people will be razed to the ground, and then the chariot wing will launch a surprise attack, and the victory in this battle will be even more secure.
