At four o'clock in the morning, the 55th Regiment divided into three groups, one of which attacked the flank of Guanli Town along the Yanqing Highway, and the other one of which directly attacked Guanli Town in the south. The third route feinted the strongholds of Yang Chu and Bi'e in the southeast, trying to create a situation of striking the east and attacking the west. Gaoqiao Town also sent the combat plan to the adjacent 57th Regiment, hoping that the 57th Regiment could attack the Shewobo and Guocheng on the east line, and at least it would contain the Zhong*** team on the east line.

After the 57th Regiment, the 57th Regiment, Suwa Nobuyi landed from Longkou, he did not station the Xiada Base Camp in the suburbs north of Yantai until 8 o'clock yesterday. After the troops of the 57th Regiment gathered one after another, they were assigned to Yazi Town west of Wendeng Prefecture for preparation. Suwa Nobuyi abides by the orders of the division headquarters and temporarily stopped moving, but his troops were close to Longkou, and the baggage weapons were first fully allocated. At the same time, even the heavy artillery brigade was assigned to Wendeng Prefecture to gather.

The Dawn Assault Plan of Takahashi Town was sent to Suwa Nobuyi's headquarters at 1:00 a.m. Although this plan violated the headquarters' combat plan, as a radical young soldier, he was willing to teach the Chinese a lesson as soon as possible. So at three o'clock in the morning, he ordered his Takemoto Infantry Brigade, Matsumoto Infantry Brigade and Kuroda Artillery Brigade to press forward to the eastern defense line of Laiyang Prefecture.

Nobuyoshi Suwa knew that he was just a role in attracting the enemy's attention, so he deliberately launched an attack in advance to gain more space and time for the 55th Regiment.

The news in Wendeng County quickly reached the Laiyang County headquarters. It was almost four o'clock in the middle of the night. In addition to the staff officers on duty, many officers had already rested. After Sun Ji arrived directly at the news, he hurried to the staff room to find out the situation.

"The 57th Japanese Regiment is advancing towards the Guocheng defense line, with about 2,000 troops and artillery troops." The staff officer on duty quickly told Sun Jizhi what he received.

"At this time?" Sun Jizhi said with a frown. He had just launched a night attack a few hours ago. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army recovered so quickly. "I informed Guocheng's Fourth and Fifth Regiments to be prepared."

Suddenly, the phone rings from the communications office. The correspondent picked up the microphone and talked, then turned his head and shouted to the staff room: "Secretary, Guo Cheng is fighting!"

Sun Jizhi quickly walked to the communications office and picked up the phone. There were a lot of cannons on the other side of the microphone.

"I am Sun Jizhi, how is the situation with you?"

"The division seat... the little *** has a cannon and is bombarding our position. However, the situation is under control. Please rest assured that the division seat is our unit must stick to the position." said the leader of the Fourth Regiment.

"Very good. If you need artillery fire support, please contact the Third Artillery Battalion directly." Sun Jizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, the teacher, the little ***'s offensive is not tenacious, and their artillery fire is nothing more than that..."

"Don't say it's too big to me. It's snowing now that the Japanese artillery hasn't caught up yet. You'll know how to be in trouble. Listen to me, don't underestimate the enemy, do you understand?" Sun Jizhi warned loudly.

"Don't worry, the teacher will do his best."

When he hung up the phone and returned to the staff room, He Yingqin also arrived here, and Sun Jizhi briefly explained the situation.

"Although Guocheng is the farthest stronghold in our Laiyang defense line, there are 4th and 5th regiments and two regiments there, there is also the second mixed brigade in the west, and the firepower support of the artillery battalion, even if it is more than enough to deal with a small *** unit. The situation should be fine." Sun Jizhi added.

"However, why did the Japanese army launch an attack at this hour?" He Yingqin asked strangely.

"Maybe I want to raid while we relax our vigilance at dawn." Sun Jizhi said guessingly.

"Even so, just two thousand troops are too shabby!" He Yingqin said.

At this moment, the phone ring from the communications office rang again, and a few minutes later a communications soldier ran out.

"Master's seat, Guanli Town is attacked!"

Sun Jizhi and He Yingqin looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically. Sun Jizhi rushed to the communication room and grabbed the phone and asked, "What's going on over there?"

Dai Anliang, the commander of the First Mixed Brigade stationed on the Western Front, said hurriedly: "The division is not good. The entire 55th Regiment of Xiao***'s army attacked and surrounded Guanli Town. I was trying to find ways to send reinforcements, but the situation was not ideal. Xiao***'s all the people were blocking between our troops and Guanli Town. I wonder if Guanli Town can hold on!"

Sun Jizhi was shocked and immediately said, "What's wrong? Is there no warning at all for the enemy's big moves? Just let them surround Guanli Town?"

Dai Anliang said in a deep depression: "The incident happened suddenly, it was too sudden. Guanli Town may be careless. Our troops lost contact with Guanli Town, and I don't know what the specific situation is!"

Sun Jizhi said seriously: "No matter what, the Japanese army cannot be allowed to occupy Guanli Town. I will immediately draw the sixth Preparatory Regiment to support it."

Diane Liang sighed and said, "Master, I can only do my best!"

Sun Jizhi shouted angrily: "This is an order."

Diane Liang had no choice but to respond: "Yes!"

He Yingqin was waiting for the phone call, and his face suddenly changed, and he was amazed: *** people are really capable. After suffering a night attack, they actually shot a shot in just a few hours! This time it was unexpected! Thinking of this, he immediately asked Sun Jizhi: "How should I fight this battle?"

Sun Jizhi calmed himself down and said analyzingly: "Although Guanli Town is not an important position, it is the closest defense line to Laiyang County on the western front. It can be said that it is the only outer position in the northwest direction of our county. If Guanli Town is lost, the Japanese army will be able to advance a long distance, and their artillery will be enough to cover Laiyang County by then. So I think we have to fight anyway!"

Although He Yingqin is the chief of staff of the division headquarters, he is not very adapted to the strategic analysis and has only some experience in tactical use. Now when he heard Sun Jizhi's analysis, he felt it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Then do it this way, let the Sixth Regiment support the past immediately."

On the outer positions of Guanli Town, several front-line trenches have collapsed.

Han Liansheng lay in the second floor tunnel, watching the whole scene anxiously. It was too sudden for him. The soldiers in the battalion thought they could sleep peacefully, but unconsciously relaxed their vigilance. When the gunshots sounded, the *** army had already surrounded them from several directions. With the position for a while, they barely supported them, but unexpectedly, there was another urgent report from the rear that a small Japanese army detached along the Yanqing Highway to the south of Guanli Town.

"Battery Commander, the town is lost, the artillery company is broken up." A communications soldier hurriedly ran along the trench and reported to Han Liansheng in panic.

"What? Let the third company go to the back to set up defenses!" Han Liansheng said hurriedly.

"The Third Company has gone. Battalion Commander. If the reinforcements don't come yet, we really can't hold on."

"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on!" Han Liansheng yelled.

Guanli Town gradually divided and occupied the Japanese army, and Han Liansheng Battalion only had this position in the suburbs. With the fall of the town, the logistics supply was completely interrupted, and the artillery company was probably wiped out. The Japanese encirclement was only about a hundred meters short, and it was impossible to break through. Once it left the trenches, it would be a living target.

"Hold it down!"

"There are enemies in the tunnel on the left, and brothers should use bayonets..."

"Give me the shotgun, hurry, hurry! Ah!"

"Grenade, lie down!"

The war on the position became more and more intense, and the shouts of shouts and the sound of pain rolled up thick smoke, presenting an extremely tragic scene. The gunshots were like huge waves, and the explosions seemed to be everywhere. The whole snowy night melted in such a war.

Han Liansheng saw that his only position was shrinking seriously, and even the shouts of the people could be clearly heard here. Within a few minutes, the war spread from the front line to the second line trenches, and several shooting points were in a situation of close combat. Fortunately, the soldiers of the National Defense Army had received good sting training in the special training camp, and the carbine's short advantage in the tunnel, and the shotgun's close range and large-scale killing, they were finally able to compete with the Japanese army.

However, the Japanese army continued to pour into the trenches, with one less Chinese soldiers killed, and the prospects for the battle were not optimistic.

After half an hour of hard work, the casualties on the positions became more and more serious, and there were almost no wounded. Any seriously injured soldier who could not move could only be abandoned as the position gradually collapsed. However, Japanese soldiers could not leave a living mouth during the battle after catching up, and they would stab them to death with bayonets. The bloody wounded chose to pull the grenade and die together with the Japanese army, or lie on the ground and raise a gun to fight to the death.

Han Liansheng had to concentrate all the remaining soldiers on the last line of defense in the main position, and use one of the few heavy machine guns and light machine guns to organize defense.

"Clog the tunnel for me, come, set the light machine gun here, and kill one by one!"

"Sir, this gun has no bullets. Take this one!"

"The enemy is coming again, so many are coming to the west!"

Han Liansheng was holding an automatic rifle, his face was already full of blood and sweat. He looked at his subordinates gathered around him, with only less than a hundred people left. There were all bullets and grenades, and the shouts of Japanese soldiers were getting higher and higher.

Are you going to die here today? He felt a little sad. He thought he could compete with the *** people and strive to establish great achievements, but he didn't expect that the fight would only be a day...

"Brothers, listen well. If it were the civil war in the past, I would have let you run away. But today is different. We are fighting against the invaders who invaded the Republic of China! People live to make a sigh of relief. Today we should not only be willing to make a sigh of relief for ourselves, but also to make a sigh of relief for the country. Let the little *** see, we Chinese men have no cowards!" After gritting their teeth, Han Liansheng shouted loudly at the top of his throat.

"Battleman, we will never surrender and fight with the little *** to the end!"

"Let them know how powerful we are, killing one is counted as one, killing two is earned one!"

"For the sake of the country, we die without regrets!"

The soldiers around them were moved and shouted and responded. For a moment, a tragic atmosphere gradually spread in the last trenches. The soldiers all looked firm and determined to look at death.
