Before five o'clock in the morning, the second and third battalions of the first regiment of the first brigade of the first field division of the Chinese army, plus the two battalions from Kitakyushu Castle, led by Xuan Jianzhang, had all entered the designated position, completed the encirclement of the Japanese emperor's janissaries, and the attack was immediately launched.

The Chinese army threw grenades while building temporary positions, and the distance was kept perfectly, and at the same time, the traces caused by the explosion of the grenades could also guide the artillery in Kitakyushu Castle more accurately.

The ability of the Chinese army to coordinate and cooperate with various arms of the armed forces has become more and more perfect, and in particular, the major divisions of the Chinese army have never stopped fighting, constantly replenishing, and constantly growing in the war, and this is the fastest way to temper the army.

The temporary camp of the Japanese Emperor's Praetorian Guard instantly became a sea of fire.

From the battlefield outside Kitakyushu Castle to the base camp of Yama Prefecture Aritomo on the north side of Shimonoseki Castle, in fact, it is less than 50 miles apart, and the sound of artillery can be faintly heard.

Youpeng in Shan County was just sleepy, and waited for more than an hour, the Chinese army never moved, and he thought that this was the end of tonight, but when he heard the sound of cannons, he sat up from the bed in surprise, and quickly ran to the outside of the barracks, and asked urgently: "Where is the artillery?" ”

"General, it seems to be in the direction of Kitakyushu Castle!" The staff officer on duty replied.

Youpeng in Shan County was shocked, "Could it be that this time the Chinese army is different from the past?" Didn't pounce on my base camp? Didn't look for the two divisions on the outskirts of Kitakyushu Castle? Instead, go directly to fight the Emperor's Praetorian Guard? ”

Youpeng's brain seemed to be instantly ossified, and he felt that he had not made a wrong step in every step, but it seemed that no matter how he fought, he was restrained by the Chinese army.

All of Xuan Jianzhang's deployments have been put in place, and it is still the same as the original encirclement point to send reinforcements, but in a different way, in the past, it was used to attacking the backward troops of the Japanese government army, but this time it was to directly attack the advance troops of the Japanese government army, and to attack the most well-equipped troops of the Japanese government army.

Youpeng in Shanxian County paid attention to the protection of weak links, and felt that he had done a good job, but now he found that the army was once again divided by the Chinese army, and in front of him was only an empty Xiaguan City left by the Chinese army.

With only one battalion of troops, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army intercepted the 40,000-strong army of Youpeng in Yamaguyama on the other side of the river in Kitakyushu Castle.

The Chinese army attacked the Japanese Emperor's Praetorian Guard with four battalions, and the two divisions next to the Emperor's Guard tried to help, but were dragged by a battalion in Kitakyushu Castle and could not move.

On the intricate battlefield, the Chinese army easily used two simple positions to mobilize the Japanese government troops completely according to their own ideas, once again forming a small-scale advantage.

The four battalions of the Chinese army have more than 2,000 troops, and a division of the Japanese Emperor's Praetorian Guard is only more than 5,000 people, and the division-level establishment of the Chinese army is 20,000 people. The Chinese army not only has a brigade level, but also usually has additional artillery battalions and cavalry battalions below the brigade.

At this time, the Emperor's Praetorian Guard in the hands of Oyama Iwa was blown up by the Chinese artillery battalion in Kitakyushu Castle!

"Don't panic, defend desperately! We have the advantage of troops! The weapons are not much behind the Chinese army, remember, we are the most effective army under the emperor! Dashan Yan shouted in danger, he was already panicking, but he kept shouting to tell his subordinates not to panic.

2000 to 5000, 2.5 times the difference in numbers, for the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, it is a piece of cake, the Chinese army launched a fierce attack, step by step to narrow the encirclement of the Japanese Emperor Guard, the Emperor Janissary can be said to have no ability to fight back.

"These stupid people, they rushed to the base camp just now and obviously made a feint, and the main forces are on the side of Kitakyushu City, and now it's over!" Dashanyan's face was pitch black, all of them were blown up by the Chinese army's anti-aircraft artillery, and he was also wounded in many places, gritting his teeth and directing the battle.

"What now? Checkmate? Hurry up and ask for reinforcements to let people break out. The adjutant said loudly.

"Where are the reinforcements? The only ones we can count on are the two divisions next to us, and the troops around Shimonoseki City must have been divided by the Chinese army! To organize a breakout of the troops at the battalion level, we must let the two divisions around us move closer to us! Oyama Yan ordered.

"Yes, General." The adjutant agreed, and hurried to make arrangements.

But under the strong firepower of the Chinese army, where will the Japanese be given a chance to break through, and it is useless to stand out, the two divisions of the Emperor's Praetorian Guard were completely out of temper when they were beaten by a cavalry battalion of the Chinese army, where to rely on.

The battle lasted for an hour, and the Emperor's Praetorian Guard had already suffered more than a thousand casualties, and Oyama Iwa panicked and ordered: "Break through to the west, all to the west!" Open a gap and escape south around Kitakyushu Castle! ”

Da Shanyan didn't even bother to say anything about retreating, he didn't bother to cover it up, and directly used the word fleeing for his life, and the group of officers around him were even more panicked.

Every squad of the Chinese army is equipped with mortars, and there is also a war defense artillery battalion in Kitakyushu Castle, with hundreds of medium-sized war defense guns, and so far, the Chinese army has not even launched a charge, all of them are artillery bombardment, coupled with the continuous shrinking of the encirclement, the grenades of the Chinese army are like eyes and fall to the side of the Japanese emperor's janissaries.

At the same time that the Japanese Emperor's Praetorian Guard would be completely annihilated by the Chinese army at any time, more than 40,000 Japanese government troops under the command of Yama Prefecture Aritomo began to frantically launch a fierce attack on the position of the first battalion of the first brigade of the first brigade of the first field division of the Chinese army.

More than 40,000 people launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the position of the first battalion of the first brigade of the first brigade of the first field division of the Chinese army, which was only more than 500 people.

"Division, if the enemy attacks like this, it will take at most an hour to break through our defense." Xue He shouted in the walkie-talkie for his life.

Xuan Jianzhang knew that Xue He was really in a hurry, otherwise, Xue He, the first batch of domestic slaves of His Majesty the Chinese Emperor, and a general who had been in battle for a long time, would not have lost his temper like this until he had to, "You resist, our side is about to settle the battle, I will give you two hours, if you can't stand it after two hours, you can take the initiative to evacuate the battlefield, now to the table, it is 7:18." ”

"7:18, two hours!" Xue He repeated it loudly on the walkie-talkie.

"Yes, I'll let half of the artillery fire support you now, you must hold on! I don't want to fight the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, so I can only kill them with artillery fire, so I'm sorry for you. Xuan Jianzhang explained.

"Don't worry, Shizuo, we will definitely complete the task, it's a big deal to hand over my life here." Xue He said heavily and firmly.

Xuan Jianzhang didn't say anything and hung up the phone, and immediately shook the headquarters of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army in Kitakyushu City, "Let the division's artillery battalion immediately divide half of the artillery fire to reinforce the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion!" ”

"Yes, Master!" Immediately there was a voice of promise on the phone.

Xuan Jianzhang hung up the phone and said to several officers of the 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army beside him: "Charge while covering with grenades and mortars!" Pay attention to reduce casualties and settle the battle as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, Master!" A few people agreed, and ran away from Xuan Jianzhang with a crooked body.

In order to reduce casualties, Xuan Jianzhang did not use the method of charging white-knuckle combat against the Emperor's Praetorian Guards until now, mainly because he knew that this Japanese army had a strong fighting will, most of them were samurai, and white-knuckle combat was a strong point.

The Japanese wanted to fight with a white knuckle, but the Chinese army did not give them a chance, so they would have fought for more than two hours, otherwise, the Japanese army of more than 5,000 small units would not be enough for the four battalions of the Chinese army to fill the gaps.

"Rush me at all costs, and you must break out of a gap." Da Shan Yan's eyes were red, and the short battle of more than two hours made him feel as if he had entered hell with one foot.

Boom Boom!

Da Shanyan's words were instantly covered by a row of artillery fire falling beside him, who didn't know to rush? Now the Japanese Emperor's Janissaries, whose positions are getting smaller and smaller, have already been killed one by one, and they only hate that the firepower of the Chinese army is too strong, and the accuracy of their shooting is much stronger than theirs.
