Due to the advantage of artillery fire, the army generally does not take the initiative to fight night battles. During the day, visibility is high. If you want to fight artillery fire, you can fight that. It is not so easy at night. The power of artillery fire is nearly half smaller. But now the board is no longer concerned and attacks overnight, fighting fiercely from Dalizhuang to Zaogoutou, Lincheng North. The update is super fast.

Zhuang Jihua stood at the head of Lincheng, looking at the sky reddened by artillery fire in the north. Itagaki's madness exceeded his imagination. If he was Itagaki, the best strategy at this moment should be to immediately lead troops to the northwest. Before Lin reinforcements arrived, they rushed past the 59th Army's blockade and joined forces with the 10th Division. On the one hand, they split the connection between the Lin squadron and the Teng County defenders, and on the other hand, they could threaten Teng County from the flank. But the current action is obviously not to achieve this goal. They still want to defeat the squadron in the north of the city before the reinforcements arrive, and then fight with Lin's decisive battle with Lin's army.

"Have the 75th Brigade started to take action?" Zhuang Jihua looked for a while and turned around and asked Guan Linzheng.

Guan Linzheng held his hand at the battlement and looked at the flames in the sky: "It will be scheduled to cross at four in the morning."

Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, Pang Bingxun sighed: "Deputy Commander Zhuang, have you sent another army to reinforce the 59th Army from Lin? I'm worried that he may not be able to hold on. If possible, my 40th Army is willing to take on this task."

"Oh," Zhuang Jihua looked at Pang Bingxun with some surprise.

"Legislative Commander!" Wang Shouwu was a little anxious. The remaining 40th Army now has less than 3,000 people, and if they fight again, they will be completely gone: "Although Chen is dangerous, we don't have much strength. Even if we fill it all in, it will not play much role."

Pang Bingxun sighed, but Zhuang Jihua smiled and joked, "I heard that Commander Pang and General Zhang are both suspicious. It seems that the rumors are wrong."

"That's not, we formed a battle in the Central Plains," Pang Bingxun said in a real way, "However, when I was in trouble a few days ago, Chen sent troops to help me without any grudges. Now that he is in trouble, I can't stand by and watch."

Zhuang Jihua showed a smile on his face: "Ten years of civil war, people are suffering from the suffering of life, and it is the shame of our soldiers. Now, resisting foreign humiliation is the duty of our soldiers. All the grievances and grievances of the past should be abandoned. Commander Pang and General Chen should be role models for us."

When Zhuang Jihua said this, he stared at Guan Linzheng. Guan Linzheng's face felt warm and remembered the words and deeds of last night. He felt a little ashamed. But his personality decided that he would no longer admit his mistakes as Pang Bingxun.

"Captain Pang Army. Your 40th Army has tried your best. I think we will let the 73rd Brigade go to reinforce. Deputy Commander Zhuang. What do you think?" Guan Lin used another method to express his attitude to Zhuang Jihua again.

"In comparison, Lin is more important. The 73rd Brigade should stay to defend Lin. Let's go for reinforcements." Pang Bingxun seemed very selfless. More than 2,000 people in other places could help Zhang Zizhong survive tonight.

"Don't fight." Zhuang Jihua interrupted them: "Zhang Chen and Gui Ting can stand tonight. I want to see how Itagaki ends tomorrow."

It is indeed a bit difficult to ride a tiger. The attack in the storm has achieved very little effect. The squadron has fought hard and fought to the death without retreating. Unless all the people on the position die, the resistance will not stop. The battle is until dawn. The Fifth Division conquered Xiaoli Village. The Second Division retreated to Hongjiadian and Tangtun; but the 16th Division on the front of the 59th Army did not make any progress. The Zaogou Head position was still motionless.

At four o'clock in the morning, Sanguan Temple, Ship Shadow Zhongzhong. The 3177th Regiment of the 75th Brigade quietly smuggled across the river. Dozens of boats sailed toward the other side and rushed to the middle of the river. The Japanese police force appeared and fiercely fought. Xu Lijun, deputy commander of the 3177th Regiment, was in the first wave of attack troops. He immediately commanded the troops to launch a counterattack. The artillery fire on the shore also fired violently at the other side.

Perhaps the main force of the Japanese army turned north, and the resistance here was not fierce. The first attack wave quickly rushed to the opposite shore, and then led Xu Lijun's troops to quickly conquer Qianqigou, and then launched an attack on Sanhe Street.

The quick knife inserted from behind made Itagaki feel heartbroken. Itagaki was forced to transfer the Xiukou Brigade of the 43rd Regiment of the Reserve Team to Sanhe Street for support, and at the same time ordered the strengthening of the attack on Hongjiadian and Tangtun.

Colonel Li Fan, the captain of the 21st Regiment, personally visited the frontier of Hongjiadian, commanded the troops to attack Hongjiadian in a wave of higher and higher attacks, and rushed into Hongjiadian several times. The fierce hand-to-hand battle was carried out in every corner of the village. The defenders could not stand their feet and were gradually pushed out of the village. Zheng Dongguo urgently dispatched the 18th Regiment of the Sixth Brigade of the Reserve Team to counterattack, driving the Japanese army out of the village again, and the battle north of Lincheng went on again.

The horizon was slightly white. The difficult night was finally over. Zhuang Jihua let out a long sigh, stood up and stretched his waist hard. The battle situation was not too bad so far. Although some progress was made in the attack on the ground all night, even though our front line was shaking, the front line remained continuous.

Zhuang Jihua looked at Chengbei and a sneer appeared on his face. Itagaki, your good life is over.

"Tele to Commander Li of the War Zone, I decided to launch a counterattack and defeat the board within three days." After returning to the command center, Zhuang Jihua's first sentence showed his determination. Before Guan Linzheng and Pang Bingxun spoke, he said again: "Call Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang to come."

Sun Liren arrived in Lin shortly after the counterattack in Sanguan Temple, and Liao Yaoxiang arrived in Lin half an hour after him. Both of them were beaten by Zhuang Jihua.

Up to now, the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division have arrived and rested.

"How is it? Are you having a good rest?"

Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang came in and were about to raise their hands to salute, but Zhuang Jihua waved his hand and asked. Sun Liren immediately understood what Zhuang Jihua meant: "Report, the troops are in good condition, and they have all arrived, so please ask the deputy commander to issue combat orders."

Liao Yaoxiang's face turned slightly red: "Our logistics regiment and heavy artillery regiment have not arrived yet, but the combat troops have all arrived. Please ask the deputy commander to issue combat missions. Our new 22nd Division guarantees to complete the mission."

Zhuang Jihua greeted Guan Linzheng and Pang Bingxun to the front of the map: "Today we started a counterattack against Itagaki. Itagaki has been fighting for two months since it landed in Qingdao, and there has been no rest. In two months, they fought all the way to Qingdao, and it took thousands of miles to go. They made mistakes again. In my opinion, they should have rested for one to two weeks after conquering Jinan, but they did not. Jinan left a brigade, and the whole Jiaodong, and they only left a brigade. Each soldier had to guard at least four or five square kilometers of land. Their rear was unstable. Specifically, he was far away from the northern line. Even if the Japanese army reacted to reinforce him, it would take ten days and half a month to arrive. It can be said that it was an isolated army, unless I let Risuke Isotani give up the offensive."

"Look at it, the Ban troops are scattered in the vast area from Fenghuangling to Zaogoutou, the main force is north of the city; to defeat Itagaki, the main force must be destroyed first, so the main battlefield of this battle is in the north of the city, but I don't want to confront him head-on. My thoughts are as follows. Use the 85th Army to attack Fenghuangling, the 73rd Brigade to cross the river, land in Qiaofang, and cooperate with the 75th Brigade to attack Sanhe Street from the flank; the New 22nd Division immediately reinforces the 59th Army as the main force of the frontal counterattack; the New 38th Division joined the Hedong battlefield and attacked along the river, in Taoyuan, Xiaoguanzhuang right, and detoured from the side and back to the Fenghuangling, and cooperate with the 85th Army to eliminate the Ninth Brigade. This is the first stage of the battle. After this stage is completed, the Japanese army in Hedong will be eliminated, and our Hedong Army will quickly cross the river and attack Itagaki from the rear, which is the second stage of the battle."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked up at Guan Linzheng and others. Guan Linzheng looked at the map and thought about it, "The only thing that the Hemen Army can do to attack Sanhe Street is to attack the 75th Brigade. Once Itagaki appears to be in danger of Hedong, and counterattacking, a brigade may be difficult to stop."

"Mr. Guan is extremely worried," Pang Bingxun nodded and said, "If Itagaki counterattacks with its main force, it will be difficult for one brigade of the 75th Brigade to stop it."

"Itagaki's counterattack is not terrible. The New 38th Division has four brigades, leaving one brigade to assist the 75th Brigade. The other three brigades are enough to cooperate with the 85th Army's attack. Commander Guan, you personally command the 25th Division and the New 38th Division to cooperate with the troops, and be sure to block the counterattack. Commander Pang and the 40th Army are still stationed. They will form a regiment to serve as the entire counterattack reserve. General Zhang Zizhong unified the command of the 59th Army, the Second Division and the New 22nd Division. The counterattack started at 11:00 noon, and the Hedong counterattack was commanded by me personally."

Guan Linzheng, Pang Bingxun, Sun Liren, Liao Yaoxiang, agreed in unison. Guan Linzheng turned around and left first, and then Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang also left one after another.

The outside teams of the city began to adjust their movements. Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division detoured Weijiatun, braved the Japanese Air Force bombing in Jixi Village, Xiao Zhuwu crossed the river and headed to Zaogoutou. Sun Liren's new 38th Division was relatively close. After leaving the city to cross the river, he arrived at Sanguan Temple at around 9 o'clock.

Sun Liren stayed with Zheng Bicheng from the Fourth Brigade to return to China. The Tax Police Corps was the reserve team and attacked Taoyuan with Tan Zhenren of the First Brigade in Huangpu in the third phase; Zhao Maocai from the Second Brigade to return to China in the United States to attack Yubu; Li Hong of the Third Brigade to attack Jiangjiazhuang in the fifth phase.

Itagaki did not pay enough attention to Hedong. At the beginning of the counterattack of Sanguanmiao, Itagaki realized that Hedong was too far from the north of the city war zone and was hanging alone in another place, so he ordered the Ninth Brigade to gradually shrink its forces in the Phoenix Ridge area, and its main forces moved closer to the river. However, Itagaki's adjustment came too late. The attack of the 85th Army made the Ninth Brigade temporarily unable to withdraw from contact and move to the east bank of the river.

Sun Liren's attack was very smooth, and a Japanese brigade could not stop his attack at all. In less than an hour, three brigades successively conquered the targets. The first brigade immediately attacked Xiaoguanzhuang. Seeing that the attack was successful, Sun Liren immediately magnified his courage and attacked Xifang with the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade. After contacting the 89th Division, he immediately turned to Yangjialing to attack.

After Zhuang Jihua asked the 85th Army to change from harassment to attack, Wang Zhonglian let go and attacked Fenghuangling with the main force Chen Daqing's troops along the Jade Emperor Temple, Stone Monument, and Dadianzi. The 89th Division took a detour to Laodun and launched an attack on the flank.

In Hedong, the squadron launched a fierce attack. The two armies went down the mountain like tigers and rushed straight to Fenghuang Ridge. The Ninth Brigade was struggling and tried hard to resist. By four o'clock in the afternoon, the flanks completely collapsed. The New 38th Division completely split the flanks of the Ninth Brigade, and the two squadrons were completely wiped out. The captain of the squadron led the remnants to be surrounded in Lengzhuang. The New 38th Division successfully cut into the rear of the Ninth Brigade.
