The Japanese small artillery did little damage to the charging chariots, but it still posed a certain threat to the infantry who followed closely behind the battlecar, so these small cannons of the Japanese army also became the primary target of the self-propelled howitzer and artillery regiments. The chariots that rushed out of the smoke were also constantly bombarding a small cannon with a door that was spitting out shells with its vehicle-mounted artillery. The infantry behind the chariot pulled the skirmish line a little wider.

Behind the four infantry regiments, the large and small-caliber mortars gathered by each regiment were also constantly firing shells at the Japanese positions, and their task was to cover the infantry's charge, so the machine gun fire points on the Japanese positions became the key targets. Under the blow of this intensive artillery fire, the Japanese troops on the position suffered terribly, and even Takada Toshisada Daisa, who commanded the battle, felt a kind of despair.

Under the cover of the chariots, the Chinese troops in the four directions approached the Japanese position step by step, and the Japanese troops on the position tried their best to block the approach of the Chinese army in the hysterical roar of the officers, but the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and the Japanese troops on the position were constantly destroyed under the blows of various Chinese artillery, and these firepower points were lost.

Seeing that the Chinese tank was only a few dozen meters away from the position, Takada Toshisada called over to one of his subordinates and ordered: "Yours, immediately report to His Excellency the division commander that the Chinese army is about to break through our army's position, please leave immediately Your Excellency the division commander, and I will lead the soldiers on the position to make a decisive assault on the Chinese army." The subordinate stood up and replied, "Hey, please take care!" and bowed deeply to him before turning to leave.

Seeing this subordinate leaving, Takada Toshisada took a deep breath, slowly pulled out the command knife on his waist, and shouted to the people around him: "The time has come to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and the warriors will attack with me! The subordinates around him also shouted at the same time, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Itaya!" and then rushed out after Takada Toshisada Daisa.

Outside the fortifications, Takada Toshisadada's escort squadron was ready, and immediately escorted him to the front of the position after Takada Toshisada rushed out of the fortifications. The roar of the guards alarmed the Japanese soldiers on the position, and seeing that Takada Toshisada Osa personally led the guards to attack, these soldiers also grabbed their bayonet rifles and launched a charge with a roar.

The Chinese soldiers who were attacking forward were still attacking step by step, and they saw the Japanese troops on the position pouring out of their nests and starting a counter-charge, although they were somewhat unexpected, but they were not panicked. They were all battle-hardened soldiers, and they reacted naturally without the command of their commanders. The chariot ignored the onrushing infantry and ran forward with on-board machine gun fire. The infantrymen, who were advancing with the chariots, slowed down, took their weapons in their hands, and met the Japanese countercharge with a rain of bullets.

Under the command of the officer, the Japanese soldiers still rushed forward under the dense bullets, and after giving way to the frontal chariots, they finally met the Chinese officers and soldiers in close combat. So on this wasteland by the Gan River, more than 10,000 soldiers on both sides roared and fought together. The blood of both sides stained the earth red, and the screams before death were endless.

When the Japanese launched a counter-charge, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo knew that time was running out for him, and he asked his men to signal the gunboats in the river and order the gunboats to force the shore. On the orders of Lieutenant General Tetsuzo Ide, a small gunboat forced its way to the shore.

Before the gunboat could be stopped, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo asked the soldiers to take the springboard, leaving Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi to command from the shore, and he was the first to step on the springboard. Behind him was the Chief of Staff Eijiro Yoshida and his own guard. The small gunboat was so small that it was difficult to find a place to stay on the ship after the guards had gone up for the halfway point, and the captain, Lieutenant Yoshio Yamada, looked at the waterline with fear, and his face became more and more ugly.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo gave the order to sail in time, and Lieutenant Yoshio Yamada hurriedly instructed his men to open the boat, and the small gunboat slowly left the river bank and swayed towards the center of the river. Large gunboats were difficult to dock and could only be transferred by two small gunboats, which greatly delayed the time to get on board. Listening to the gunshots and shouts of killing getting closer and closer, the anxious look on the face of Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi, who remained on the shore, became more and more obvious.

The captain of the guard, Taro Ikeda, who was standing beside him, saw the anxiety of the division commander and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, I request that you lead the troops to withstand the attack of the Shina people, and I also ask Your Excellency the division commander to board the ship immediately. Shunjiro Takeuchi listened to the words of the captain of the guard, and his heart ached. His chief of staff has already gone to the front line to command, and now the captain of the guard is going to go up again, how many people will be left in his 116th Division after this battle? But under the current situation, the guards will not be able to get on the ship if they do not go up to the top, and they can only let them go to work hard.

Shunjiro Takeuchi couldn't help but bow to the captain of the guard and said, "Ikeda-kun, please!" Ikeda Taro said no more, gathered the guards and turned around and rushed towards the front line. At this time, the chariots had already broken through to the Japanese position, but due to the limitation of the terrain, they could not reach the riverside for a while. Although the Japanese army is at a disadvantage in all aspects, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and it is impossible for the Chinese side to eat these thousands of Japanese troops if they want to.

Yamada Zour led nearly 2,000 Japanese troops to fight together, and the role of these 2,000 Japanese troops was only to prolong the time of the defeat of the Japanese army. No sooner had Ikeda and his guards rushed a few hundred meters than they were met by a chariot that had rushed into position. The ground along the river was soft, and there were many fortifications repaired by the Japanese army, so it was very difficult for the tanks to move, and after the two heavy tanks fell in a row, the tanks did not dare to approach the riverside again, and only the armored vehicles were still slowly moving forward.

When Ikeda saw these armored vehicles slowly moving towards the river, he secretly said, "Oh no!" If these armored vehicles were allowed to move to the shore, not only would the remaining soldiers on the shore be destroyed, but even the gunboats in the river would be in danger, so Ikeda Taro immediately targeted these armored vehicles. As the division commander's guard, Ikeda's team was not only strong in combat but also well-equipped, although there were no artillery, there were four mortars, and there were many grenadiers. Taro Ikeda asked the soldiers to prepare the clusters* and explosives and medicine packs, while the mortars immediately opened fire to bombard the tank.

The appearance of this squadron of the Japanese army had already attracted the attention of the fighters on the tank, and as soon as the mortar fired, the artillery fire and bullets that returned fire immediately flew over. Not only the armored vehicles were returning fire, but also the tanks that did not move forward were also returning fire with on-board artillery and heavy machine guns. The four mortars fired only three salvos before they were destroyed by the return fire, although the three salvos still damaged two light armored vehicles.

Seeing that only a few moments later, all four mortars were gone, Ikeda Taro was heartbroken, picked up an explosive and medicine bag, and personally rushed towards the nearest armored car. He took the lead, and his soldiers rushed forward one after another, and the soldiers who did not have explosives, medicine packs, or clusters* even grabbed a mortar shell.

The chariots rushed into the Japanese position, but the infantry behind them were fighting with the Japanese and did not keep up. This also gave Ikeda's guards an opportunity, and no matter how strong the chariot firepower was, there were dead ends, and some Japanese troops rushed up and pulled off bombs, pill packs, or clusters*. In this sortie, Taro Ikeda and his guards were completely wiped out, but four light armored vehicles were also blown up, and three heavy armored vehicles and two light armored vehicles were damaged.

This loss was not small, and all of a sudden, the regimental commander Zhao Wujun, who commanded the chariot, became nervous. These tanks are the commander's treasures, and if you lose one, you will have one less, and there is nowhere to replenish them. Zhao Wujun hurriedly ordered the chariots to stop advancing and form a defensive formation to prevent any more Japanese troops from rushing over and blowing up the vehicles. However, he did not expect that as long as he rushed forward for another 200 meters, he could see the Japanese troops boarding the ship on the shore and the Japanese gunboats parked in the river, and at that time, the vehicle-mounted artillery could completely strike at the gunboats and the Japanese troops who boarded the ship.

Time passed little by little, the battle between the two armies had come to an end, and the Japanese troops on the shore had basically boarded the gunboats, and Vice Admiral Iide Tetsuzo, who was the first to board the large gunboats, had already commanded the gunboats to go down the river. When the Chinese basically annihilated the Japanese troops on the shore and rushed to the river, they only saw the figure of the Japanese gunboat in the distance and a black smoke that gradually dispersed, which made the several regiment commanders who commanded the battle feel angry, and Zhao Wujun was even more complained for a long time.

The report was sent to Wang Haitao, who did not blame the Japanese high-level for fleeing, but attached great importance to his own battle damage. From the report, Wang Haitao saw that although most of the 116th Division and the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army were wiped out in this battle, the losses of his own side were also not small, not to mention the consumption of ammunition and fuel, and the attrition of the soldiers also reached one-third.

The battle in Tugboat Port Town is not over, but it can be imagined that the losses of the Jurong Independent Brigade will definitely not be small, and it is not easy to defend against the two-sided attacks of the two divisions of the Japanese army with an infantry brigade without heavy artillery cover, and it is certain that the casualties will not be small. Wang Haitao immediately ordered to leave part of the troops to clean up the battlefield, and the heavy artillery unit and the rest of the main force immediately rushed to the tugboat port town to reinforce the Jurong Independent Brigade.

However, as the troops approached the tugboat town, the gunfire in the tugboat port town gradually stopped. Soon Wang Haitao received a report from Huang Guizhong that all the Japanese troops outside the town had retreated. Wang Haitao understood that this was Commander Isamu Yokoyama, seeing that it was no longer meaningful to attack the tugboat town, ordered the Japanese army to retreat. Now his own troops are also in urgent need of rest, and they are also powerless to attack.

At this point, the battle in Jiangxi was over, and Wang Haitao sat in Zhangshu City, arranging for the troops to take a comprehensive rest while waiting for the opportunity to attack Nanchang again. But before he could take a breath, Tang Renxin's urgent telegram from Vietnam and Tang Renli's urgent telegram from Longzhou were successively sent to Wang Haitao's desk, and these two urgent telegrams made Wang Haitao unable to sit still in Zhangshu anymore.
