At the front, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, have already found themselves surrounded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The officers and men of the two infantry regiments began to build an improvised defensive line. Because of the urgency of time, it was too late to dig trenches. Many of the soldiers dug just a foxhole.

The machine-gun firing point was also directly made of sandbags.

In order to strengthen the defense, the remaining tanks of the 2nd Panzer Brigade also had to be dispersed for use. Tanks and armored vehicles were put into the front line and used as fixed fire points. Once attacked by the Japanese army, these tanks and armored vehicles could inflict unimaginable casualties on the Japanese army with machine guns and even tank guns. After all, machine-gun fire on tanks and armored vehicles is undoubtedly extremely threatening to flesh and blood.

"Lao Yan, Lao Ding. The attack of the Japanese * himself is about to begin. This time, we may face a bloody battle! No one expected that Ri* himself would hide the main force south of Lake Tonsari. All our intelligence proves that the Japanese * himself is east of the Mekong River. Major General He Zheng, commander of the 2nd Armored Brigade, said.

"Brigade Commander, Ri* himself is indeed very powerful this time, and he has played all of us." Colonel Yan Jian'an, commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment, said.

"Even if the day himself played a conspiracy, but what can it be? It's not that easy to eat us. Our two infantry regiments are ready, plus we have the support of armored units. If they want to eat us, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so. Colonel Ding Yuhai, commander of the 22nd Infantry Regiment, said.

"Haha, that's right. If they want to eat us, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so. Our more than 10,000 brothers are enough to make these days* myself pay an unimaginable price. Major General He Zheng laughed.

"Report, the air force dispatched fighters and knocked out the artillery of the Japanese * himself. They don't have much artillery left. A staff officer reported.

"In that case, I don't have to worry about it these days. Without artillery, what will they do against us? Colonel Yan Jian'an smiled.

"Order the ministries, get ready. For us, this time it's a back-to-back fight. If we can't keep it, then we're dead. Follow-up reinforcements are on their way. At most, we will be able to arrive at dawn tomorrow. Major General He Zheng said.

Colonel Yan Jian'an and Colonel Ding Yuhai both nodded their heads again and again. There was no problem with the Japanese army's plan this time. The only loophole is probably that these days* themselves overestimate their strength. It is not so easy to eat one armored brigade and two infantry regiments of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. If they can't eat it, then they will inevitably pay an unimaginable price.

Before the start of the Japanese attack, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were ready. All the officers and soldiers were also ready for a bloody battle with the Japanese army. As everyone knows, this time they were surrounded by Japanese troops, and in all three directions except for Lake Cave Sari to the north. Therefore, if they want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to resist the attack of the Japanese army. There is no other way.

The 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, which were surrounded by the encirclement, were indeed in a formation of fighting against the odds. With their backs to Lake Tonsari, they built a defensive line five kilometers wide and ten kilometers long. The 19th Infantry Regiment was responsible for the frontal line, while the 22nd Infantry Regiment was responsible for the flanks. Three tank battalions and two mechanized infantry battalions of the 2nd Armored Brigade, which served as reserves. In addition, a lot of tanks and armored vehicles were put into the front-line positions to increase the firepower of the front-line positions. Only when the Japanese army launched an offensive would they know how powerful the firepower of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was.

Lieutenant General Nakanaga Taro, commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, also jumped into a rage when he found that his artillery had almost been destroyed. Without artillery support, they would have had to let their soldiers attack with their own flesh and blood.

"Humph! Damn the Shina people, can they defeat us by putting on a posture of fighting against the odds? It's just delusional. Kawada-kun, Aida-kun. Your respective troops, attack the left and right flanks of the Chinese people. Leave the frontal attack to our 18th Division. This time, we must wipe out all those Shina people. Lieutenant General Taro Nakanaga ordered.

"Hey!" Neither Lieutenant General Kawada Mataro nor Major General Shunji Aida raised any objections. Anyway, their offensive task this time is very tight. It would be great if one armored brigade and two infantry regiments of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army could be eaten in one fell swoop.

"The attack begins, destroy the China." Lieutenant General Taro Nakanaga immediately gave the order to attack.

The 18th Division, the 31st Division and the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army launched an attack on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the encirclement. Because of the urgency of time and the reason that the reinforcements of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were still on the way, the Japanese army directly invested the main force in the attack.

On the frontal battlefield, the Japanese 18th Division directly engaged two infantry wings, namely the 55th Wing and the 56th Wing. On the battlefield on the left flank, the 24th Brigade Regiment was also directly engaged in three infantry brigades. You know, there are only five infantry brigades in the entire brigade. On the battlefield on the right flank, the Japanese 31st Division also invested two infantry brigades, namely the 58th Infantry Wing and the 124th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army.

It can be said that in the first attack, the Japanese army invested more than 17,000 people, which is equivalent to the total strength of the encircled Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. And this, naturally, also brought great pressure to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Fire!"

As soon as the Japanese army attacked, the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army began to bombard fiercely.

The 19-mm artillery of the 18th Infantry Regiment of the Artillery Battalion, the 22-mm 18 of the 75-mm Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Armored Brigade of the 18-mm 105-mm self-propelled howitzers, as well as the infantry guns of the battalions below, mortars of various calibers, began shelling.

For a time, dense shells smashed at the attacking Japanese troops.

Shells rained down and exploded in the ranks of the Japanese attackers. Japanese soldiers were constantly bombed into the air, leaving blanks in the queue. However, the Japanese army behind immediately filled the gap.
