At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese troops began to concentrate the troops of the 2nd Brigade of Independent Combat Vehicles to counterattack the troops of the Provisional Ninth Army.

The troops of the Provisional Ninth Army were already ready, and they deployed anti-tank gun positions with anti-tank guns and successfully destroyed eight Japanese Type 97 tanks.

At half past ten o'clock in the evening, the headquarters of the 22nd Army began to issue orders, and the commander of the 22nd Army, Lieutenant General Hashimoto Group, began to deploy the troops of the Japanese 16th Division in Lingshan County to the south of Pubei County.

At the same time, the 57th Division occupied Lingshan County with one part and took over the defense of the 16th Division.

The Chinese troops gathered two corps and six divisions to launch a key attack on the area south of Pubei County, and the Hashimoto group was worried that the Chinese troops would break through here, so he deployed two divisions here, while the troops of the 57th Division were responsible for the defense of Hengxian and Lingshan counties, but the heavy 9th Brigade strengthened a heavy artillery wing to the 57th Division, as well as the 1st Brigade of Independent Combat Vehicles, and Hashimoto's Group was still assigned to the command of the 57th Division.

When the troops of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army began to move collectively and quickly advanced towards Shi'an Shi Town, Sun Weiguo, who had received the report, immediately contacted the troops of the Third Cavalry Army.

Sun Weiguo asked the troops of the Third Cavalry Army to quickly advance to Hengxian, find loopholes in the 57th Division, and strike at the troops of the 57th Division.

This night was destined to be extraordinary and noisy, the Japanese 16th Division and the Guards Division fought fiercely with the 46th Army and the Provisional Ninth Army in the area of Pubei County.

At half past one o'clock in the morning of the 22nd, the troops of the 201st Division of the Third Cavalry Army, with the cooperation of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division, carried out a surprise attack on the position of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Independent Field Siege Heavy Wing, and after the troops of the Third Cavalry Army destroyed the six 150mm howitzers of the 13th Heavy Wing of the Japanese Army, the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Independent Tank Regiment and the 52nd Wing of the 57th Division of the Japanese Army quickly reinforced, and the troops of the 3rd Cavalry Army immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese troops, and the number of Japanese tanks was superior. After all, the 1st Armored Regiment of the 201st Division only had 60 tanks when it entered the battle this time, and with the operation in Qinzhou, the 1st Armored Regiment lost 5 tanks, and there are only 55 tanks at present.

However, the units of the Third Cavalry Army were equipped with a lot of anti-tank guns, and they fought calmly in the face of the seventy tanks of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Independent Combat Vehicle.

With a "boom", a 57mm anti-tank gun began to fire, and the armor-piercing shells quickly shot out.

The armor-piercing bullet hit a Japanese Type 97 tank directly, and then the Japanese Type 97 tank was penetrated.

The fierce battle began, and the two sides began to fight around the position of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army, the 1st Cavalry Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division, respectively, under the leadership of division commanders Huang Gang and Huang Yongsheng, attacked the 52nd Wing of the Japanese Army.

The units of the 3rd Cavalry Army engaged the Japanese troops until more than 3 o'clock in the morning, and in the end the Japanese had to quickly withdraw from the battlefield after losing twenty tanks.

At this time, the Japanese 52nd Wing was completely surrounded by two cavalry divisions, and their losses had exceeded 2,000 troops, and after the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Independent Tank lost 15 tanks again, their remaining 25 tanks quickly withdrew, but the 52nd Wing could not continue to evacuate.

At five o'clock in the morning, the 52nd Wing of the 57th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, and the 13th Wing of the Japanese Heavy Wing was completely wiped out after 15 howitzers were removed, and the remaining dozen howitzers became the trophies of the Third Cavalry Army.

After this victory, the troops of the Third Cavalry Army immediately began to withdraw from Hengxian, and they had to continue to wait for the fighters.

At seven o'clock in the morning of the 22nd, Sun Weiguo again issued an order to the front-line troops, Sun Weiguo transferred the new 19th Division of the 46th Army and the new 11th Division of the Ninth Army to quickly march to Lingshan County.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the new 11th Division and the new 19th Division entered Lingshan County, and the connection between the troops of the 57th Division of the Japanese Army and the 16th Division and the Guards Division was completely cut off.

After capturing Lingshan County, Sun Weiguo ordered the Ninth Army and the 46th Army to immediately break away from the battle with the Japanese troops, and the 170th and 175th Divisions of the 46th Army quickly advanced to Lingshan County.

Qinzhou, the headquarters of the 22nd Army of the Japanese Army.

Hashimoto was still staring at the map at this time, and he was hesitating to send the 18th Division and the Indochina Dispatch Army to directly pursue the troops of the Third Cavalry Army.

But when he hesitated, the chief of staff, Wakamatsu Zhiichi, hurriedly came to the Hashimoto group, and he didn't even salute the Hashimoto group, but quickly made a report.

"Your Excellency Commander, the mobile unit of China raided the position of the heavy 13th wing last night, and now there are only fifteen howitzers left in the heavy 13th wing, and the 1st Brigade and the 52nd Brigade of the Independent Tank quickly reinforced the past, but they were attacked by the mobile forces of China, and the 1st Brigade of the Independent Tank lost five tanks, and the 52nd Wing was completely annihilated."

Wakamatsu glanced at Hashimoto, and he reported in a heavy tone.

Hearing Wakamatsu Zhiyi's report, Hashimoto Group's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he almost couldn't believe that he looked at Wakamatsu Zhiyi.

"What the hell is going on, how did the commander of the 57th Division, Lieutenant General Ito Zhigang, command the troops to fight, our troops occupy such a big advantage, but they were surrounded and annihilated by an infantry wing by the Chinese troops again, Ito Zhigang is simply a stupid pig." Hashimoto shouted angrily.

"Your Excellency Commander, in addition, this morning the Chinese troops concentrated more than 10,000 troops from two divisions and began to attack Lingshan County, Ito Zhigang judged that the Chinese troops might be trying to encircle and annihilate the 117th Wing of the 57th Division stationed in Lingshan County, so he immediately ordered the 117th Wing to withdraw, and at present, Lingshan County has also fallen into the hands of the Chinese troops."

Hashimoto's angry rebuke had just ended, and Wakamatsu Zhiichi reported again with a helpless expression on his face.

Hearing Wakamatsu Zhiichi's report, Hashimoto's eyes became cold, and he slammed the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Eight Ga Ya Road." Hashimoto roared loudly.

"Immediately order the 18th Division, Indochina to send troops, let them immediately reinforce Pubei County to fight, be sure to capture Lingshan County, and send a telegram to the commander of the 57th Division, Lieutenant General Ito Zhigang, so that he must hold on to Hengxian, and the troops of the 57th Division are not allowed to do any action except for defense."

Hashimoto directly gave the death order, he knew the importance of Lingshan County, so he had to take it back.
