Chu Zhengyang led the 881st Regiment to attack the core of the village under the opening of the chariot, and under the bombardment of indiscriminate covering artillery fire, it was also a ruin, and the Japanese army did not have any organized resistance, only some sporadic cold guns. Such a cold gun could not inflict many casualties on the 881st Regiment. Seeing that the Japanese army had basically lost the power to resist, Chu Zhengyang ordered to clean up the battlefield.

The first battalion and the second battalion of the 881st Regiment were ordered to scatter to clean up the battlefield, and the third battalion was responsible for guarding. ”

When Chu Zhengyang heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said, "Let's go, go and have a look." After a while, Chu Zhengyang came to an open space under the leadership of Tang Xi, and a collapsed grass house behind the open space was still smoking, and the soldiers were still carrying the corpses of Japanese soldiers in the broken eaves. There were already several corpses of Japanese officers in the open space, the first of which was Lieutenant General Maruyama Masao, the commander of the 2nd Division, who was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, and next to him was the brigade commander Matsui Kiichiro, who was wearing a major general's uniform.

After confirming the identity of the deceased again, Chu Zhengyang said to the guards beside him: "Immediately send a report to the brigade, report that the brigade has completely annihilated the Japanese Second Division, and killed the commander of the Japanese Second Division, Lieutenant General Maruyama Masao, Major General Matsui Kiichiro, the brigade commander, and the two captains of the Osa. The guard saluted and turned to send a telegram, and Chu Zhengyang said to Ma Jiangsheng, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion beside him: "Battalion Commander Ma, the battle here is basically over, and the guard battalion is still blocking reinforcements from Hanoi, how about your reconnaissance battalion go to support the guard battalion?"

Although Ma Jiangsheng's reconnaissance battalion belongs to the troops directly under the brigade headquarters, the highest rank is now Chu Zhengyang, the colonel commander, and besides, there is indeed no reconnaissance battalion on the battlefield now, Ma Jiangsheng replied: "Commander Chu, the guard battalion has the support of the 880th Regiment, and the problem is not big, but the brigade is weak in the county seat, so I will lead the reconnaissance battalion back to the county seat first." Chu Zhengyang was right when he thought about it, the brigade was only in the county seat with the 882nd Regiment by his side, and he had to beware of the Japanese troops withdrawn from Beijiang City, and the number of troops was a little less, so he did not object to Ma Jiangsheng's proposal.

Wei Erxi was sitting in the county town of Beining, and before receiving Chu Zhengyang's telegram, he was directing the third battalion of the 882nd Regiment to reinforce the defense line of the first battalion, because a reconnaissance group reported that more than 2,000 Japanese troops were coming to the county town of Beining in the direction of the Beijiang River. After Wei Erxi received the telegram, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Good fight! This can be regarded as revenge for Pingxiang." Then Wei Erxi asked people to send a telegram to the division to report the victory, and he put his energy on blocking the enemy from Beijiang.

When the 881st Regiment surrounded and annihilated the 2nd Division, the 462nd Brigade also officially launched a general attack on the enemy in Bac Giang City. After several days of attacking, the 462nd Brigade not only eliminated a large number of Japanese soldiers guarding the city wall, but also had a clear understanding of the situation of the defenders in the city. If it weren't for the 463rd Brigade's attack on the 2nd Division, the 462nd Brigade would have been able to capture Bac Giang City a few days ago.

After knowing that the 463rd Brigade had encircled the 2nd Division and was about to attack it, Tang Longzai also ordered Li Changwu's 462nd Brigade to launch a general attack on the Japanese army in Beijiang City, and asked Wang Haitao to assist with the heavy artillery brigade. Regarding Tang Longzai's decision, Wang Haitao will naturally hold it, and Wang Haitao is also a little anxious because he has waited for a few days.

In the morning, while the 463rd Brigade launched an artillery bombardment on the outskirts of the 2nd Division, two heavy artillery battalions of the Heavy Artillery Brigade and two self-propelled howitzer and artillery battalions of the 93rd Division also launched an artillery bombardment on Bac Giang City. It took only a few rounds of heavy artillery to collapse the crumbling city wall of Bac Giang City, and then the artillery fire extended into the city, and the 877th Regiment of the 462nd Brigade almost rushed into Bac Giang City following the landing point of the shells.

The Japanese troops in the city of Bac Giang had long been in fear, and they were worried every day that the Chinese army outside the city would launch a general attack. Naoki Kawaguchi's daily telegram for help flew like snowflakes to the headquarters of the 16th Army in Hanoi, but he either replied that the reinforcements would arrive soon and ordered him to hold on; After a few days, Naoki Kawaguchi was also cold.

The troops under his command are all patchwork left-behind troops, and their combat effectiveness is already very poor, and the expected reinforcements have been delayed, presumably because of the Chinese army's resistance, the Chinese army outside Beijiang City is strong and has fierce firepower, and it is not something that these rabble under his command can stop. Therefore, Naoki Kawaguchi had already arranged for two of his cronies to be near the South Gate, and once the Chinese army entered the city, these two brigades would protect themselves from Bac Giang City.

After the Chinese artillery bombarded the city wall, Naoki Kawaguchi understood that the Chinese army had launched a general attack, so he ordered an infantry brigade to fight to the death to stop the Chinese army, and at the same time came to the south gate with a few cronies and led two infantry brigades to escape from Bac Giang Castle. The Japanese army, desperately trying to hold back the Chinese army, suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the 877th Regiment, and when the captain asked Kawaguchi Naoki Daisa for help, he found that Naoki Kawaguchi and two infantry brigades had escaped from Bakae Castle. At this time, the Japanese army who was still resisting fryed, and no one resisted anymore, and fled to the south gate in a swarm.

After Tang Longzai heard that the Japanese army had fled in the direction of Hanoi, he immediately ordered the 877th Regiment and the 879th Regiment to clear the remaining Japanese troops in the city, and the 878th Regiment and the two battalions of the self-propelled grenade and artillery regiment pursued the fleeing Japanese troops. After Wang Haitao knew that he had captured Beijiang City and that the 878th Regiment and the self-propelled * artillery regiment had pursued the fleeing Japanese army, he also sent an armored brigade to dispatch 15 light armored vehicles to chase after him.

Four hours later, just approaching the county seat of Bac Ninh, the Japanese squad walking in front found the blocking position of the 882nd Regiment, and the Japanese squad hurriedly stopped and reported to Kawaguchi Naoki Daisa. Naoki Kawaguchi also gasped when he heard the report.

Naoki Kawaguchi learned from the call back from the headquarters that the headquarters had sent all two infantry wings of the Second Division to reinforce him, but a few days had passed, and there was no sign of reinforcements. The Chinese army, which was able to block the attack of the two wings of the Second Division, with more than 2,000 troops in its own two brigades and no artillery support, could it break through the blockade and flee back to Hanoi?

Just when Naoki Kawaguchi was stunned, a captain next to him said: "Your Excellency, there is a Shina army blocking the way ahead, if you want to return to Hanoi, you must break through the barrier of the Shina army, please give an order from Your Excellency the Wing Commander, my brigade is willing to open the way for His Excellency the Wing Commander." Naoki Kawaguchi looked at it, and it was his own cronies who spoke, Ichiro Ono, the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade.

Although Kawaguchi Naoki Osa was a little afraid of the strength of the Chinese army, but he wanted to escape back to Hanoi, the only way in front of him, and the faint sound of artillery in the distance made him more lucky, listening to the sound of artillery, the Chinese army should be fighting fiercely with the second division, then the number of Chinese troops in the frontal position should not be too much, if you can break through the position of the Chinese army, maybe you can flank the Chinese army with the second division, if you can defeat or eliminate the Chinese army in front of you, after returning to Hanoi, the guilt of losing Bac Giang City will be smaller.

Ono Ichiro was still waiting for Naoki Kawaguchi to give an order, but he didn't hear Naoki Kawaguchi speak for a long time, so he looked at Naoki Kawaguchi suspiciously, and saw Naoki Kawaguchi's thoughtful look, and couldn't help but shout again: "Your Excellency Captain ......" Naoki Kawaguchi reacted at this time, and replied: "Yo Xi! I understand Ono-kun's bravery, then please Ono-kun, be sure to defeat the people in front of you and open the way for the wing." ”

Ono Ichiro bowed and replied, "Hey, my subordinates will live up to the expectations of His Excellency the Captain." After saying that, he turned around and ordered his first infantry brigade to take the attack formation and deploy, and the only dozen or so mortars were also ready for shelling. But as soon as everything was ready, the 463rd Brigade gave Naoki Kawaguchi a blow to the head. The 72 Japanese-style mountain guns of the Independent Artillery Regiment bombarded the Japanese troops who were difficult to prepare for the attack.

As soon as Ono Ichiro's infantry brigade launched an attack formation, artillery and shells fell overwhelmingly. Immediately, the Japanese army was in chaos, some scattered to dodge, some ran around, and some lay directly on the ground. Ten minutes of shelling was over, leaving Ichiro Ono's infantry brigade with craters and scattered corpses of soldiers, more severed limbs.

This shelling stunned Naoki Kawaguchi, and at the same time made him sober up. The Chinese army he was facing was by no means something that his remnants of the defeated army could defeat or wipe out. Now behind him is the lost city of Bac Giang, and in front of the county town of Bac Ninh, which is occupied by the Chinese army, and he doesn't even know where to go.

Ono Ichiro Nakasa escaped the shelling, and when he gathered the remnants, there were only about 400 men left in an infantry brigade, and more than 100 were slightly wounded. Now Ono Ichiro didn't dare to say anything like opening up the road, and ran to Naoki Kawaguchi in frustration to plead guilty. Naoki Kawaguchi, the power of the Chinese army's artillery fire just now, also saw it, so he didn't blame Ichiro Ono, but neither of them knew what to do now.

Just when Naoki Kawaguchi didn't know what to do, another captain next to him, Yusaku Takeshita, spoke: "Your Excellency, the subordinate brigade has been stationed in Taiyuan County in the north of this place before, and there is a small road not far from the turn back to reach Taiyuan County, but this path can only be walked by people, and vehicles cannot pass, now can we retreat to Taiyuan County and station?"
