The confrontation between China and Japan in the town of Hung Yen did not last long, and as the other two regiments of the 271st Brigade also moved into the town, the situation immediately tilted in favor of the Chinese army. The 271st Brigade is a unit started by Wang Haitao, and it has the best weaponry and the quality of individual soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is also one of the best in the entire 90 th Group Army.

The three heads of the regiment got together and immediately had a plan. The 542nd Regiment still served as a frontal attacker, with no or less use of heavy weapons, and the main goal was to kill and injure the Japanese troops. The 543rd Regiment took the battalion as a unit and outflanked the Japanese from the left and right flanks. The 544th Regiment bypassed the Japanese position, cut off the Japanese retreat, and wiped out all the Japanese troops who resisted in the town.

Just when the three regiments were preparing to split up, the eight light armored vehicles sent by Wu Jianzhou to support drove up, although there were no vehicle-mounted artillery on the light armored vehicles, but the two vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns on each vehicle would also be very strong support firepower, plus it could form a cover for the infantry's attack, and it was still very useful. The 542nd Regiment and the 543rd Regiment were each assigned four of the eight armored vehicles, and the 544th Regiment was not assigned to them after they had to outflank the enemy's position.

With the support of the fraternal regiments, Liu Yunfei, commander of the 542nd Regiment, separated the troops according to the company's structure, and armored vehicles were used on the two main streets to cooperate with the companies to attack. This kind of street fighting has been used since the Battle of Songhu, and it is now very mature. Soon the Japanese troops in the town who were holding back the Chinese attack could not withstand such an attack, and retreated step by step under the siege on three sides.

The 544th Regiment used the fastest speed to penetrate in the direction of the north gate of Xing'an Town, and along the way, there were also small groups of Japanese troops who tried to stop them, but they were quickly wiped out by them. As soon as the 544th Regiment occupied the area of the North Gate, it saw the Japanese troops in the town retreating in the direction of the North Gate. The regiment commander Wei Hai also had no time to let his subordinates build positions, so he ordered his troops to immediately seize the advantageous position on the spot and launch a blockade against the Japanese army.

There were more than 2,000 Japanese troops who had withdrawn, and excluding those who had been killed, most of the troops of the 116th Division's engineer wing and baggage wing were here. When the withdrawn Japanese troops saw that there were Chinese troops blocking them at the north gate, they immediately became confused. The Japanese troops in the town also panicked at the supreme commander, the wing commander of the engineer wing, Yoshida Moritaka Osa.

Seeing that the troops were surrounded on all sides, Yoshida Osa could only order the troops to break through in the direction of the north gate, but the troops under his command were not only poorly armed and equipped, but also the quality of the soldiers was not good, how could they be the opponents of the wolf-like 544th Regiment. The 544th Regiment repelled two Japanese attacks in a row with very few casualties, and Yoshida Osa was completely desperate.

Looking at the troops with more than 1,000 people left under his command, and then looking at the Chinese troops besieging from all sides, Yoshida Osa could only reluctantly abandon his weapons and surrender. The Japanese army was so vulnerable that the three regiment commanders who attacked had a feeling of having nowhere to go, and after Brigade Commander Tang Yiqun also entered the town and interrogated Yoshida Daisa, they realized that these Japanese troops in the town were organized by auxiliary units such as engineers and baggage soldiers.

The gunfire in the town stopped, which made Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi, who was already in a very poor situation, feel even worse, he was never able to break through the blocking position of the Chinese army in front of him, and the Chinese army behind him would rush over immediately, and all the men and horses on his side together were less than 5,000 people.

When the 271st Brigade encircled and annihilated the Japanese troops in the town, Wang Haitao and the main force also arrived outside Xing'an Town, and Tang Yiqun, who remained outside Xing'an Town, hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation to the division commanders Tang Yikuan and Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao is not worried about the question of whether the remaining Japanese troops can be wiped out, but it must be completed before dawn, otherwise the Japanese army will definitely use planes to rescue the 116th Division after dawn.

Wang Haitao said to Tang Yikuan: "Yikuan, the 271st Brigade has just taken Xing'an Town, let them clear the remnants of the enemy in the town, and let the 272nd Brigade complete the attack on the remaining Japanese troops, and then let Lao Wu's armored brigade send tanks to cooperate with them." Tang Yikuan immediately replied, "Yes, Commander." I'll arrange it right away!" Tang Yikuan went to Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 272nd Brigade, to arrange the task, and Wang Haitao said to Su Zuxin beside him: "Old Su, let's go to the town first, and the headquarters will be temporarily set up in the town first." ”

Soon the 272nd Brigade began to move, and they were accompanied by a heavy tank company and a heavy armored vehicle company sent by Wu Jianzhou. As soon as the 272nd Brigade set off, Wang Haitao entered Xing'an Town with his headquarters and guard troops, while the 211th Division and the rest of the troops set up camp outside Xing'an Town. The troops also included the heavy artillery brigade that had not yet been able to fire its strength and the 24 captured Japanese heavy guns.

The battle to attack the rest of the Japanese army was led by Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 272nd Brigade, as the former enemy commander, and more than 5,000 Japanese troops who had lost their heavy weapons and whose morale was low to the bottom did not pose much of a threat to elite troops like the 272nd Brigade, but Zhang Lingfu also understood that the lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, and the rabbit was in a hurry to bite people, not to mention the more than 5,000 Japanese troops who had not laid down their arms.

As soon as it crossed the town of Hung Yen, the road immediately narrowed, and the 272nd Brigade encountered the Japanese army at the narrowing of the road. As the two heavy tanks in front of them were moving side by side, the figures of Japanese soldiers appeared under the headlights, and then the bullets fired from the Japanese machine guns clanged the armor of the tanks.

The commander of the heavy tank at the front was He Erhu, the commander of the first company of the second battalion of the heavy tank regiment. In the light, you can see that the Japanese army also temporarily set up a defensive line here, and there are no fortifications on the so-called position at all, and the Japanese army is only using the stones and trees on the side of the road to shoot covertly.

The tanks ignored the bullets fired by the Japanese troops, but the ferocious fire of the heavy machine guns on the vehicles made it difficult for the Japanese to dodge, coupled with the targeted bombardment of the large-caliber guns on the vehicles, the whole battle was stress-free. The Japanese held out for only ten minutes before they had to leave behind dozens of corpses and flee backwards, and the heavy tanks did not hesitate to chase after them.

Having already encountered the Japanese army, the troops had to be deployed in battle formation, but limited by the width of the road, Zhang Lingfu could only send four heavy tanks and four heavy armored vehicles to open the road, and then arranged for the first battalion of the 546th Regiment to follow the combat vehicles. The road winds and turns, and at night the visibility is not good, and on such a road, the tank does not dare to drive fast, but only maintains a speed of ten kilometers per hour.

The sound of gunfire on the road alarmed Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi, who was at a loss, and he said to Major General Uzawa Shoshin beside him: "Uzawa-kun, listening to the gunshots, the Shina army has crossed the town of Xing'an, and now we have no way to retreat, so we can only rush through the defense line of the people in front of us in one go, otherwise all the jade will be shattered here." In order for the 116th Division to break through, show the courage of His Majesty the Emperor and charge forward!

How did Major General Uzawa Naosin not understand his current situation, and seeing the division commander behaving like this, he also said to Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi: "Your Excellency the division commander, my subordinates are willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" After speaking, he also bowed deeply to Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi and turned to leave. Soon after, Major General Uzawa Shoshin personally led the remaining 3,000 men of the 130th Brigade and launched a decisive charge against the positions of the 3rd Regiment.

On the short road, the Japanese troops lined up infantry phalanxes, and at the front of each phalanx were several commanders, who rushed up to the positions of the three regiments with the slogan "His Majesty the Emperor!" However, this kind of mental deterrence did nothing for the officers and men of the Third Regiment, and in the previous battle, the Second Battalion had already passed the test of the Japanese army's "pig rush" attack, and the numb officers and men no longer had a sense of nervousness.

The first company of the second battalion of the third regiment blocked in front had just rested for about 20 minutes, and after a little relief, the Japanese attack began again, and the first company commander looked at the Japanese troops who were lining up to attack, and scolded in a low voice: "A group of stupid X., shouting slogans and lining up are not afraid of bullets? I'll send you to see that bullshit emperor now!" He shouted: "All fire!"

Just when more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns on the position were harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers with dense bullets, the three battalions arranged on the hills next to the road also joined the ranks of shooting, and at the same time, dozens of mortars used by the three regiments behind the position to support the position were no longer kept and threw shells into the Japanese ranks. Under the blows from several sides, the flesh of the Japanese army could not compete with the metal bullets after all, and a large number of Japanese troops fell and the remaining Japanese troops were confused.

When Major General Uzawa Naosin also fell under the bombardment of shells, there were few soldiers left in the 130th Brigade, and these soldiers no longer shouted slogans to attack, but scurried around like ants on a hot pot in the dark night. When the roar of the chariot engine and the sound of machine guns came from the rear, he knew that the 116th Division was at the end of the road, and he might not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.

An hour later, all the guns and artillery stopped fighting, and the last few thousand men and horses of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army were all wiped out on the road less than two kilometers, not only the road was full of the corpses of Japanese soldiers, but also floating in the Xiangjiang River There were countless corpses of Japanese soldiers who fell into the river and died, which also brought some trouble to cleaning up the battlefield and counting the results after the war, but the Japanese army's attack on Guangxi this time was more than 30,000 troops, and Wang Haitao's next step was to recover Quanzhou, and then rush out of Guangxi, and the Japanese army occupying Hunan to fight high。
