The Japanese army only had one regiment of troops on this line of defense. Nearly half of them had been lost in the fierce bombardment that lasted for several hours.

The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division had deployed two mechanized infantry brigades to attack.

How could they, more than a thousand people, stop them?

More than a hundred tanks, with the assistance of multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles, smashed the entire line of defense into pieces in one round.

The battlefield was full of gunfire.

The Japanese had no power to fight back.

However, the Japanese suicide attack caused some trouble.

Although the Guardian tanks were thick, the bottom armor was only 30 mm.

Under the crazy attack of the Japanese, three tanks had been destroyed and two Guardian tanks had their tracks blown off.

The damage to the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles and multi-functional armored personnel carriers exceeded 6.

Although the number was not large compared to the entire 3rd Division, the Japanese lacked anti-tank power, and all were caused by suicide attacks.

It also shows how crazy these Japanese were.

After these casualties, the offensive of the two mechanized infantry brigades became much more stable.

The remnants of the Japanese army in Yingkou saw the scene on the defense line and did not dare to rush out.

Besides, the artillery fire has extended to them.

They are in a difficult situation, so how can they care about this side? In just two hours, the Japanese troops on the entire defense line were almost cleared.

It cost only more than a hundred people to take down this defense line.

The battle loss ratio reached a terrifying 1 to 30.

Although this ratio is exaggerated.

But the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division is a pure mechanized infantry division.

The Japanese are not good at defense, the terrain is also in the coastal plain area, and there is a lack of anti-tank power.

It is actually normal to have this battle loss ratio.

After taking this defense line, the entire Yingkou was exposed to the front of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division.

However, Xie Ning did not rush to attack.

Instead, he chose to rest and surround Yingkou first.

The artillery also adopted a grouping mode and took turns to bombard Yingkou.

The reason why Xie Ning did this was to put great pressure on the 38th Mixed Brigade defending Yingkou.

Then he asked him to go to the Kwantung Army Headquarters for help.

See if the main Japanese divisions in Anshan and Benxi can be mobilized.

In this way, the hidden 4th Armored Division can give them a fatal blow.

This is one of the reasons why Xie Ning asked the 4th Armored Division to hide.

Brigade Commander Koga Dentaro did call the Kwantung Army Headquarters directly.

However, it was not a call for help, but a farewell call.

Because he knew that even if the 10th Division came, it would be useless.

Yingkou has no defense at all. No matter how many troops there are, they can't withstand the impact of the armored forces.

There is no advantage in manpower, equipment, artillery or even in the air.

It is meaningless to reinforce Yingkou.

But Anshan and Benxi are different.

Anshan is on the edge of the Changbai Mountains and has a certain geographical defensive advantage, which can limit the performance of the armored vehicle units to a certain extent.

It must be said that Koga Dentaro is still very sober and rational.

After all, being able to become a brigade commander requires some ability.

The two bigwigs of the Kwantung Army Headquarters also remained silent about this.

They tacitly agreed with Dentaro Koga's approach. At nightfall, one Japanese soldier after another rushed out from the direction of Yingkou.

Under the cover of darkness, they were like silent beasts, with fierce and sharp eyes, as if they were choosing their prey.

However, Xie Ning had dealt with the Japs so many times, so how could he not be on guard against night attacks.

He was very surprised by the actions of the Japanese army.

He immediately understood that he was afraid that his plan would fail.

But it didn't matter.

Since the plan failed, just attack directly.

"Annihilate them, occupy Yingkou tonight and cut off the South Manchuria Railway."

Although the darkness limited the firepower of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division to a certain extent.

But the flares flying all over the sky provided a certain field of vision.

Although it was not as clear as during the day, it was enough.

Guardian main battle tanks were lined up in a row.

Soldiers also appeared behind the tanks.

Intensive firepower shot at the remnants of the Japanese army.

Tracer bullets formed dense and unclear ammunition chains in the night sky.

After being exposed, the Japanese army also launched a crazy attack.

But their bodies seemed so fragile in front of bullets.

The huge Japanese army fell in groups like cutting wheat.

In the rear, self-propelled mortar vehicles also joined the battlefield.

These mortar vehicles are based on multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles.

Equipped with heavy mortars of 120mm and 160mm calibers, with semi-automatic loading systems.

The charge of more than 3,000 Japanese troops did not posed any threat to the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division.

Just after an hour, the gunfire stopped.

No Japanese soldiers were standing in front of us.

But the ground was covered with layer after layer of Japanese corpses.

The blood even soaked the entire land red.

The growth of this piece of grass will definitely be very gratifying next year.

Yingkou was easily captured.

In the underground brigade headquarters in the city, Xie Ning also saw corpses all over the ground.

Among them was Koga Dentaro who shot himself.

It’s a pity that the regiment flag and information were all burned.

I don’t know when I can bring back a complete regiment flag to present to the commander.

He has talked about it more than once.

Xie Ning still cares about this matter very much.
