The fierce battle started from the early morning until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. It was not until night fell, and the 55th Division of the Japanese army stopped the attack unwillingly.

The extremely ferocious Japanese 55th Division used all his might and attacked continuously for five or six hours. In particular, the 143rd Regiment advanced frantically without regard to the cost of casualties, and launched a close street battle with the third company guarding the city.

After a day of attack, the 143rd Regiment paid a total of 500 lives, destroyed six bunkers and four chasms, and advanced to the center of Yecheng, which was only less than two kilometers away from the western river defense line.

The 112th Regiment, which forced the river to cross the west, also fought hard, and organized no less than 20 strong attacks, causing huge pressure and casualties to He Haimin.

Due to the long defense line and insufficient troops, there is often only one person within a range of 10 or 20 meters. If several nearby soldiers sacrifice one after another, it is easy to leave forty or fifty meters of gaps.

The most dangerous time was that a 50-meter-wide gap appeared in the defense line. As a result, a small team of Japanese soldiers accidentally took advantage of the loophole, stepped on the wooden bridge and rushed to the other side and jumped into the trenches, and met the officers and soldiers of the first company in the trenches.

Fortunately, the Hu Ben Army had strong firepower in melee combat. The soldiers on both sides immediately turned their guns when they saw that the situation was not good, grabbed the Bobosha submachine gun and stood there madly.

The bullets were venting wildly without money. Before the bullets were finished, they fell into a pool of blood. The soldiers behind them then rushed to rush wildly again on the upper right.

After paying more than ten lives, the officers and soldiers of a company finally killed all the Japanese in the trenches.

However, this time it almost turned around, which greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese 112 Regiment on the other side. The attack became extremely fierce in a short period of time. More than half of the casualties were killed in just one hour.

The 112th Regiment of the Japanese was naturally not much better. In one day, the total number of casualties reached more than 750.

The small river outside Yecheng was filled with Japanese corpses. The originally clear river turned into a black red area, and the soil on both sides turned into muddy bloody soil.

After one day, the final battle situation was calculated, more than 1,350 enemies were killed, while the first battalion of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division of the Chinese Hu Ben Expeditionary Force was killed in total, 97 seriously injured, and the remaining more than 100 people were all decimated.

The 55th Division of the Japanese wanted to break through this small seaside town in one breath and spit out the cowardly air he suffered a few days ago, but it was a hard bone that could not be smashed or smashed. The Japanese troops were bleeding.

After nightfall, the noisy sound of gunfire and shouts of killing finally subsided, and the dark sky was still so deep and quiet.

"Grandma, I finally defended it! These Japanese devils are really excited! I'm sending me the order to alert me, don't let the Japanese attack overnight!"

He Haimin sighed deeply, leaned against the mud wall of the anti-cannon hole, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it and started smoking.

He was in a state of high tension and excitement all day. As soon as he relaxed, He Haimin felt weak all over, and all his strength suddenly disappeared, leaving only breathing and smoking!

"Yes, grandma, I almost told you this day!"

Compared with He Haimin, Yuan Jiang, the company commander of the third company, was in similar condition. After fighting for a day, he only ate a few pieces of dry food and drank a bottle of energy drinks. Until now, he was not only weak, but also roaring with hunger.

"This lunch meat doesn't taste good, but it's so delicious now!"

When he was free, Yuan Jiang couldn't wait to pick up the dagger and pry open a box of lunch meat. He didn't care whether it was black or dirty on his hands, and he grabbed the lunch meat and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"Hehe! Your taste is getting more and more confusing, and you even dislike lunch meat!"

He Haimin vomited a cigarette ring for a long time, and then smiled and joked: "I remember when we were prisoners in the National Army and the Shanghai Concession, let alone canned lunch meat, even if we could fill our stomachs with braised vegetables!"

"That's it! I thought that not only did I have to be hungry back then, but I lacked weapons and ammunition, but also had to use my flesh and blood to force the Japanese planes, cannons and tanks. I was not killing Japanese people, but I was simply committing suicide!"

Thinking of the ups and downs of the past, those young faces with unknown names, and the one-sided massacre on the battlefield, Yuan Jiang felt a lot of emotion.

He Haimin sighed: "Yes, if we had such good weapons and equipment back then, and had a chief like a chief who loved soldiers like his sons, they would not have died so cowardly or so unworthy!"

"Oh, the past is gone! What's the use of those, the key is to look at the present!"

After eating most of the box of lunch meat in succession, Yuan Jiang said worriedly: "I really didn't expect the Japanese to work hard like this, it was completely different from that time in Shandong!

I originally thought it would be fine for us to hold on for three days, but now it seems that it would be great if we can hold on for another one more day!"

He Haimin laughed indifferently and said, "I'm afraid of a ball! People die and birds are facing the sky, and I won't die for tens of thousands of years. Today we have killed at least 1,300 Japanese devils, and we'll have already killed enough money! If we can still kill a thousand or eight hundred tomorrow, it's worth it even if we die here!"

"Old He, I don't like to hear what you said!"

Yuan Jiang glared at He Haimin with some displeasure and said in a deep voice: "What you said makes me feel greedy for life and fear of death?

We can live happily until now, be in the hands of the chief executive, and kill so many Japanese soldiers, which is more than a hundred times better than our brothers who left first. What else can I be unable to think about it?"

After a pause, Yuan Jiang said again: "I am just worried that we will not be able to stick to the plan for three days and destroy the military deployment of the General Office. Then we will be responsible for the death!"

"That's true!"

He Haimin nodded lightly, took a deep breath of smoke and said, "People and let the destiny be left to fate. Anyway, people are in the position, and people are in the position. As long as we still have one, we cannot let the Japanese break through our position!"

At this moment, a communication soldier trotted to He Haimin and saluted: "Company Commander, the brigade headquarters urgently sent a message to us to prepare for the evacuation and replacement of the wounded. The helicopter formation will arrive near the Yecheng Fortress at 9 o'clock tonight!"

"What? How can this work? We just fought a day and took us down? We are not raised by the aunt, so we are not that expensive!"

He Haimin was immediately dissatisfied after hearing this. Although more than half of the casualties and his combat effectiveness was severely declining, at least more than a hundred people still have the power to fight. It would be really awkward to replace them directly like this!

"Yes! It is necessary and necessary to let the seriously injured brothers take them down! But if you don't get off the fire line with minor injuries, we who have broken a little skin must not just start with the slightest end!"

Yuan Jiangshen thought it was right, and then said to the communications soldier: "Hurry up and send a telegram to the battalion commander, please tell us about the relationship, at least let us hold on for another day!

No matter how bad it is, we have to wait for us to take back the lost position tonight, right?"
