The front line, the 2nd Armored Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Rescue, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment, they have been surrounded. The officers and soldiers of the two infantry regiments have begun to build simple defense lines. Because of the urgent time, there is no time to dig the trenches. Many soldiers have only dug a foxhole.

The machine gun fire point is just made of sandbags.

In order to strengthen defense, the remaining tanks of the 2nd Armored Brigade had to be dispersed and used. The tanks and armored vehicles were put on the front line and used as fixed firepower points. Once attacked by the Japanese army, these tanks and armored vehicles could use machine guns or even tank guns, causing unimaginable casualties to the Japanese army. After all, the machine gun firepower on tanks and armored vehicles was undoubtedly extremely threatening to the flesh and blood.

"Lao Yan, Lao Ding. The attack of Japan* himself is about to begin. This time, we may face a bloody battle! No one expected that Japan* himself would actually hide its main force south of the Lake of Dongsaree. All our intelligence proves that Japan* himself is east of the Mekong River." Major General He Zheng, the commander of the 2nd Armored Brigade, said.

"Brig Commander, Japanese* himself is indeed very powerful this time, and he fooled us all." said Colonel Yan Jianan, the commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment.

"Even if Japan himself is conspiring and tricking, what can it do? It's not that easy to eat us. Our two infantry regiments are ready, and there are also support from armored troops. If Japan himself wants to eat us, it depends on whether they have the ability." Colonel Ding Yuhai, the leader of the 22nd Infantry regiment, said.

"Haha, that's right. If I want to eat us, it depends on whether they have the ability. Our more than 10,000 brothers are enough to make these Japanese* myself pay an unimaginable price." Major General He Zheng laughed.

"Reported that the air force dispatched fighter planes and knocked off the Japanese artillery. There were not many artillery left in them." A staff officer reported.

"Since that's the case, I don't have to worry about these days. Without cannons, what will they use to deal with us?" Colonel Yan Jian'an smiled.

"Order all departments and be prepared. For us, this time it is a battle of back and forth. If we can't defend, we will die. The subsequent reinforcements are on the way to come. At most, they will arrive at dawn tomorrow." Major General He Zheng said.

Colonel Yan Jian'an and Colonel Ding Yuhai both nodded repeatedly. The Japanese army's plan this time was no problem. The only loophole was probably that they were overestimating their strength these days. It is not so easy to eat an armored brigade and two infantry regiments of the Anti-Japanese Rescue **. If they can't eat it, then they will inevitably pay an unimaginable price.

Before the Japanese attack began, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment were already ready. All the officers and soldiers were also ready to fight the Japanese army. Everyone knows that this time they were surrounded by the Japanese army. Except for the Dongsari Lake in the north, the other three directions were Japanese. Therefore, if they wanted to survive, there was only one way, that was, to resist the Japanese attack. Apart from this, there was no other way.

The 2nd Armored Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Rescue, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment, which was surrounded, did form a formation of a battle against the water. They leaned against the Dongsari Lake and built a five-kilometer-wide and ten-kilometer-long defense line. The 19th Infantry Regiment was responsible for the front line, while the 22nd Infantry Regiment was responsible for the two wings. The three tank battalions and two mechanized infantry battalions of the 2nd Armored Brigade were used as reserves. In addition, a lot of tanks and armored vehicles were invested to the front line position to increase the firepower of the front line position. Only when the Japanese army attacked, they would know how powerful the firepower of the Anti-Japanese Rescue was.

Lieutenant General Nakata, the commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, was furious after his artillery was almost destroyed. Without the firepower support of the artillery, they could only let the soldiers attack with their flesh and blood.

"Hmph! Damn the Chinese, can they defeat us by posing as a stance to fight back? It's simply delusional. Kawada-kun, Aida-kun. Your respective troops will attack the left and right wings of the Chinese. The frontal attack will be handed over to our 18th Division. This time, we must destroy all the Chinese." General Nakanagata ordered.

"Hi!" Neijing General Kawada Shirota and Major General Aida Shunji did not raise any objections. Anyway, their offensive mission this time was very tight. It would be great if they could eat one of the armored brigades and two infantry regiments that were fighting against Japan and rescued ** in one fell swoop.

"The attack begins and eliminate the china." Nakayakata immediately issued an order to attack.

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, the 31st Division and the 24th Brigade of Independents, attacked the anti-Japanese and rescue forces in the encirclement. Because time was tight and the reinforcements of the anti-Japanese and rescue forces were still on the way, the Japanese army directly invested in the main force during the attack.

On the front battlefield, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army directly invested two infantry brigades, namely the 55th Regiment and the 56th Regiment. On the left wing battlefield, the independent 24th Brigade also directly invested three infantry brigades. You should know that the entire brigade only has five infantry brigades. On the right wing battlefield, the 31st Division of the Japanese Army also invested two infantry brigades, namely the 58th Regiment and the 124th Regiment.

It can be said that during the first attack, the Japanese army invested more than 17,000 people, which was equivalent to the total force of the surrounded anti-Japanese and rescue forces. This naturally brought great pressure to the anti-Japanese and rescue forces.

"Open fire!"

As soon as the Japanese army attacked, the artillery soldiers who fought against Japan and rescued the ** began to attack violently.

The 18 75mm field artillery of the Artillery Battalion of the 19th Infantry Regiment, the 18 75mm field artillery of the Artillery Battalion of the 22nd Infantry Regiment, the 18 1o5mm self-propelled howitzers of the 2nd Armored Brigade, as well as the infantry artillery of the battalions below, and mortars of various calibers, all began to bombard.

For a moment, dense shells smashed towards the attacking Japanese troops.
