Fierce fighting was still going on on the river beach, and as more and more Japanese troops crossed the Yalu River by boat, the pressure they put on the 32nd Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army increased. In particular, the defense line of the 32nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment was even more miserable.

In less than an hour, the 32nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment had already lost more than half. Mortars, heavy machine guns and light machine guns were even more lost. This weakened the firepower on the defensive line a lot. And this also made the main goal of the Japanese attack on this section of the defensive line.

"Battalion commander, 3rd Company requests for support. There were only more than 60 people left in their company, and the Japanese artillery fire was so fierce that they could hardly hold on. Deputy battalion commander Captain Liu Hui said.

"Send the guard squad and the reconnaissance platoon. This is already the last reserve we have at hand. If we can't stand the Japanese anymore, then we have to go up. Li Zhenwu smiled a little speechlessly, he didn't expect that this battle would be like this.

"Well, well." Captain Liu Hui nodded.

Immediately, the guard squad and reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd Battalion, a total of more than 60 people, entered the front line through the communication trenches and joined the resistance to the Japanese army. Their arrival temporarily stabilized the front. However, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the casualties of the troops are increasing, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will soon be impossible to hold on.

Although, the losses of the 2nd battalion were significant. But again, they inflicted greater losses on the Japanese army. In front of the line of defense of the 2nd battalion, a thick layer of corpses had already piled up. However, little Japan was extremely fierce, and even though they suffered heavy losses, their morale was not affected in any way, but became stronger and stronger.

"Regiment commander, the position of the 2nd Battalion is about to be untenable, and Li Zhenwu has already filled in all the reserves in his hands. The troops were now losing more than half of their troops, and they had lost a lot of heavy weapons, and the Japanese had completely taken the positions of their battalions as the direction of the main attack. If it continues like this, it will collapse. Said the deputy commander of the 32nd regiment.

"What then? We don't have much reserve left. The positions of the 1st and 3rd Battalions were equally tight, but not as tight as the 2nd Battalion. The artillery fire of those little Japanese was so fierce that our soldiers had to fight against their artillery fire, and most of the casualties were killed by their shelling. Colonel Tan Guoheng said hatefully.

The Japanese concentrated two field artillery wings and two field heavy artillery brigades, a total of more than 140 cannons, which caused great damage to the 3rd Infantry Division. Although, the divisional artillery battalions of the 6th and 7th Infantry Divisions were moving over. However, this will take time, and during this time, the 3rd Infantry Division can only fill it with human lives.

The 32nd Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army was caught in a bitter battle, but similarly, the attacking 7th Wing of the Japanese Army was also fighting hard. It's just that these Japanese soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles have a higher fighting quality and a stronger will to fight, which makes them able to persevere in the face of the strong firepower of the Imperial Army. If it had been replaced by the armies of other countries, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

In terms of the will to fight, the elite armies of East Asian countries are generally much stronger than the armies of Western powers.

To the east of the Yalu River, in the front headquarters of the Japanese army, Major General Toshiyin Matsukawa, commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, and Amano Kiyoshi Daisa, commander of the 7th Infantry Wing, frowned tightly. Although the battle was fierce, the 7th Wing was slow to break through the defense line of the Jilin Army, which was somewhat unexpected by them.

"Baga, how can those people be so tenacious? They have already repelled several attacks by the Imperial Warriors. I believe that their losses must have been great. But why haven't they collapsed yet? Major General Toshiyin Matsukawa roared angrily.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the machine-gun fire of the Chinese is too fierce, even if they suffer heavy losses under our artillery fire. However, it still caused huge casualties to the 7th Wing. I believe that the Chinese have actually reached their limit, and if we send more troops to attack, we will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Chinese people. Kiyodai Amano said.

Major General Toshiyin Matsukawa nodded, he knew that the losses of the 7th Infantry Wing were large. When crossing the river, it was shelled by the Jilin Army and lost a lot of people. After the landing, it was hit by intensive fire from the Jilin Army. After launching many attacks, the three brigades that launched the attack are probably already more than half of the casualties. The reason why he is still able to launch a strong attack is due to the support of the bushido spirit. However, no matter how strong the spirit of bushido is, if there is no follow-up reinforcements, they may not be able to successfully break through the defense line of the Jilin Army. Once the Jilin Army sends reinforcements to the defensive line, the opportunity that the Japanese army has created with great difficulty will be in vain.

"Eguchi-kun, let your troops attack, and you will definitely tear through that man's defense." Major General Toshiyin Matsukawa ordered. As long as they can successfully break through the defense line of the Jilin Army and establish a solid beachhead, the Japanese army will be able to cross the river in a steady stream. Then it will be very easy to expand the results on both sides and defeat the Jilin Army.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." The commander of the 19th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Masashi Eguchi, nodded.

Ten minutes later, the 19th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army launched an attack, and all three brigades under its jurisdiction were dispatched, taking more than 100 small boats, and quickly rowed to the west bank of the Yalu River.

Now, the Jilin Army, which the 7th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army has already beaten, is in great pain, and as long as they go up and launch the final blow, they will definitely be able to defeat the Jilin Army.

It's just that little Japan thinks everything too well. In the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the Jilin Army also began to deploy troops. The divisional reconnaissance battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division was ordered to reinforce the 32nd Infantry Regiment. After their arrival, the reserves in the hands of Colonel Tan Guoheng were abundant, and more reinforcements could be sent to the front. The first to be replenished was the 2nd Battalion, which was caught in a bitter battle. The divisional reconnaissance battalion was put into this place, making the originally crumbling defense line even stronger.

Not only that, but the divisional artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Division finally arrived. When they arrived, they did not have time to rest, so they immediately began to join in the artillery battle. Their arrival reversed the artillery forces of both sides. Although, in terms of the number of artillery, it is not yet possible to compare with the two field artillery wings and two field artillery brigades of the Japanese army. However, the comparison of the two sides in the number of artillery pieces of more than a hundred mm caliber has undergone a radical reversal.

In the previous artillery battle, the artillery battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division had lost more than a dozen 105mm light howitzers. But again, the losses they inflicted on the Japanese were more than that. A field heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army was directly annihilated. The remaining field heavy artillery brigade is also struggling to support. Together, more than a dozen 75-mm field guns of the two field artillery wings of the Japanese army were destroyed.

After the artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Division joined in, thirty-six 105-mm light howitzers immediately began to pour artillery fire on the positions of the Japanese field artillery wing. The remaining field heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army, the artillery battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division, was able to suppress it. The divisional artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Division launched an attack on the Japanese field artillery wing, and was more able to support the infantry fighting the front line.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Clusters of crimson flames shone in the muzzles of the guns, and one after another shells whistled towards the Japanese field artillery positions east of the Yalu River. On these positions, Japanese artillery was firing at the positions of the 32nd Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army with Meiji 31-year 75-mm field guns, and it was their heavy shelling that inflicted heavy losses on the 32nd Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army.

"Shelling! Take cover! ”

The officers of the Japanese field artillery wing changed their faces one by one after hearing the sharp howling sound coming from the sky.

The Japanese artillerymen, who were operating the artillery, also immediately fell to the ground.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense shells exploded on the Japanese artillery positions, and the powerful air waves generated by the explosion raged on the positions, and the Japanese artillery were directly swept away, just like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. The field guns were directly blown into scrap metal.

On one of the field artillery positions of the Japanese army, a squadron was deployed, that is, six field guns. When the explosion was over, none of the six field guns on the position survived. And the artillery of the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.

The divisional artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army had already turned its fire to another Japanese field artillery position.

Under the blows of the divisional artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Division, the Japanese field artillery was attacked one after another, which caused huge losses to the Japanese field artillery. Together, their artillery bombardment of the 32nd Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army was also greatly affected.

The Japanese artillery bombardment weakened, which was undoubtedly good news for the 32nd Infantry Regiment in the midst of hard fighting. They no longer have to worry about shells falling from the sky killing them. This allowed them to devote themselves to the fierce battle with the Japanese army.

The 19th Infantry Wing, which was crossing the river, was hit by mortar fire from the 32nd Infantry Regiment. Although, because of the fact that the 7th Infantry Wing was in the front, their losses were not large. However, there were still quite a few Japanese troops who were wiped out when they crossed the river.

After crossing the Yalu River, the Japanese 19th Infantry Wing threw itself into a fierce attack on the 32nd Infantry Regiment, which put the 32nd Infantry Regiment under even greater pressure. However, after the Japanese field artillery was suppressed, the 32nd Infantry Regiment was able to give full play to its combat effectiveness, and they were like a nail, firmly nailed to the position, so that the Japanese could not move forward.
