Wu Ziqiang, carrying a rifle, personally came to the front line and continued to boost the morale of the troops.

Not long after, fighting started on the north side of Yangpo Village.

After the First Infantry Battalion of the Moon Army approached, the two Type 92 heavy machine guns deployed there started firing in conjunction with the Jin-made light machine guns of the infantry squad.

A series of light and heavy machine guns hit the reflective helmet. A little Japanese was hit and fell to the ground.

Soon, a 90MM mortar also started firing.

The grenades were shot out one after another. Those grenades fell into the Moon Army, which also caused casualties to them.

After the firepower was exposed, the First Infantry Battalion of the Lunar Army immediately launched suppression.

They assembled light and heavy machine guns and grenade-laden infantry artillery to counterattack.

Intense bullets and artillery shells continued to fire towards the position. Do the Moon Army troops have absolute advantages in numbers and weapons?

Under such circumstances, the position was suppressed by firepower.

A large number of Japanese soldiers with rifle legs were advancing there rapidly. However, due to the steep road, it was very difficult for the Moon Army to advance.

As they advanced along the road, the riflemen opened fire, and they also began throwing leg grenades.

One leg grenade fell on the road along the high ground, and with the sound of explosions, the Moon Army troops were hit.

At this time, the firepower of Bu Nao's position was exposed, and the Moon Army assembled a large number of weapons to counterattack and suppress it.

Soon, the Type 41 mountain cannons also launched a bombardment.

Yangpo Village began to be attacked by a concentrated force of the Yue army, and the troops commanded by Wu Ziqiang were under great pressure.

The battle lasted until 11:30, and Wu Ziqiang had to call Chen Ziyun again.

It was at that time that Chen Ziyun ordered Liang Guoping's artillery unit to launch an artillery bombardment.

Zhou Wenbo's observation team provided accurate shooting data, and two field guns and six mountain guns gathered fire to attack the Yue army on the north side of Yangpo Village.

Grenades were fired one after another, and deafening explosions came one after another.

The First Battalion of the Moon Army Infantry was attacked intensively by six Bofors Mountain Cannons. Their troops were forced to stop advancing and dispersed and hid.

The twelve Type 41 mountain artillery pieces of the Moon Army's artillery brigade were also attacked from a distance by two Liao-made field guns.

Even though the Little Japanese artillery had established a position, the Moon artillery would have suffered casualties if they had built field artillery in the Liao Dynasty to attack the east.

Eight artillery pieces launched a powerful rush to Yangpo Village. The Moon Army troops on the north side were bombarded and forced to stop the attack.

Two infantry companies and one machine gun company commanded by Wu Ziqiang in Fou Yangpo Village continued to fight and were attacked one after another.

At this time, their combat strength totaled more than 400 people.

Some of the seriously wounded were quickly transported away by heavy troops for treatment, while the lightly wounded remained in their positions and continued to fight.

The fighting in Suohe Town was fierce, and the Japs continued to attack.

Colonel Harada repeatedly observed the map at the Jinshan detachment headquarters, and he continued to mark based on frontline reports.

It should be known that although the Second Battalion entered the outside of the town in groups, it was unable to annihilate all the defenders outside the town.

Colonel Harada's face was full of anger, and he couldn't help but yelled loudly.

"It's just a bunch of idiots, with more than a thousand troops, but they haven't been able to deal with the Suohe garrison."

"How did the Second Battalion carry out the operation? They were ordered to withdraw their troops from Suohe Town, and the First Battalion of Mountain Artillery carried out shelling."

"Tell the second brigade what's going on in Bulong. They all want to completely take over Dongsuohe Town before one o'clock in the morning!"

"There are troops outflanking from the north. They are trying to break through the high ground of Yangpo Village in the shortest possible time."

Harada Dazu had a serious expression on his face, and he immediately gave the battle order.

At twelve o'clock at midnight, the Second Brigade withdrew from Suohe Town. Immediately afterwards, Type 94 mountain artillery began to continuously bombard Suohe Town.

Deafening explosions continued to sound, and at that time, trains began to set off along the Tongpu Railway, traveling directly to the south-east.

The reconnaissance force of the Buluozhang Armed Cavalry Company quickly discovered the train and quickly reported it.

After Zhang Wu got the news, he immediately found the guard company commander Chu Yu!

"Commander Chen Dongda gave an order before, begging them to pay close attention to the railway situation."

"Now that trains are starting to appear, can they be military trains that transport combat supplies?"

"Captain Chu, please do we immediately launch combat operations to attack the Moon Army's columns!"

After Zhang Wu saw Chu Yu, he asked with a serious expression on his face.
Chapter completed!
