Okamoto brought 8000 soldiers and rushed to Qilin Gate. The 26th division of the attacking army also received a telegram from the headquarters.
"Everyone, His Excellency General sent a message to our troops saying that the bomber incident might be Ye Song's doing. He asked us to investigate. In addition, Okamoto is bringing people to support our army."
"This is impossible! It was absolutely impossible! No matter how prominent Ye Song was, he couldn't possibly mobilize such a large number of bomber planes, not to mention that there weren't any Chinese!”
As soon as the Japanese 16th Regiment Commander Nakajima Kingo finished speaking, Noda Takeshi, who had lost an arm, said angrily with red eyes. Obviously, other than the old fox, Shoufu Tani, no one on the Japanese side would believe such shocking news.
"Okamoto, you came at the right time."
When Okami and his men arrived, they received a warm welcome from the 16th Regiment Commander, Nakajima Kinsaigo. After such a huge blow, the 22000 strong division only had 7,000 men left. With 8,000 men, the 15,000 men were more than enough to deal with the current situation.
" You're welcome, Mr. Nakajima. We're all here for the Empire's victory."
"Nakajima, hurry up and tell me about the current situation."
After Okami settled the troops, he immediately asked the commander of the 16th Division about the situation on the field. Obviously, he was confident that he would win this battle. After sorting out his thoughts, Gui Zi Nakajima slowly said,
"Excluding the casualties of our empire, the Chinese army of 4000 should have lost more than half by now."
"However, the Chinese have completely retained their heavy firepower, while our army is temporarily unable to send out heavy firepower to attack. It can be considered a stalemate."
Okami's face was a little uncertain.
"Is this Song Ye really that powerful? You made my Empire's soldiers suffer such humiliation!"
Okami, who was far away from the front line, naturally did not understand the combat strength of the Central Army. His understanding of Ye Song was probably only a little stronger than the average army. Hearing this, Nakajima quickly said,
"Okamoto, don't underestimate your enemy. Although I don't believe that he was the one who did the aerial bombardment, he was able to repel the assault of our Empire's soldiers several times. This person is not to be underestimated."
"If Ye Song is really like what Nakajima said, then I will pay attention."
The few lieutenant generals who had fought with Ye Song had different opinions. Lieutenant General Tani Shoufu felt that Ye Song was unpredictable and illogical, while Lieutenant General Nakajima Kinjago was slightly afraid but not afraid. Finally, Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu could not recover from the blow.
Although the three of them had different reactions to Ye Song, their attitudes were similar. Ye Song was not an ordinary person, and the Central Army was not an ordinary national army. Okami did not take it to heart and only replied indifferently. After a detailed discussion with Nakajima, they decided on the second battle plan.
"Regiment Commander, according to the scouts, the Japanese have sent reinforcements. There are about 7,000 to 8,000 people."
In the Qilin Sect's command center, Zhou Weiguo was reporting to Ye Song about the enemy's movements.
"It's fine. With our current number, we can defend the Qilin Sect. However, if we want to seek a breakthrough, we need a detailed plan. Let our brothers prepare first to prevent the Japanese from attacking."
Ye Song did not care about the reinforcements from the Japanese. After the first battle of attrition, he transferred another 2,000 soldiers from the system to maintain the number of people guarding the city at around 4000.
According to his calculations, 4000 people would be enough to coordinate with the defense of this place. However, if he wanted to take down the 16th division of the Japanese, he would have to think of an exquisite plan.
At the same time, the Japanese side began to move forward for the second time. This time, the Japanese did not move forward with most of their troops. Instead, they first allocated 6000 people as the front line, with 2000 people in a square formation and a total of three infantry square formations.
The three phalanxes were separated by 200 meters, and each phalanx was divided into two small phalanxes. Each small phalanx was arranged in 5 rows and 20 columns. The small phalanxes were separated by 50 meters and moved forward in a vertical formation.
This method could be used to effectively retreat, charge, and cooperate with each other. It was obvious that the 16th division of the Japanese had changed their tactics after the battle just now. They had changed to a more conservative and cooperative approach.
"Bang!"
When the gunshots started, the first row of trenches of the central army would be used as the corresponding point. Once both sides entered an effective attack range, they would start fighting. At the same time, the Japanese troops behind would stop and set up a fire suppression point.
"Kill! Kill!"
The Japanese moved forward in a vertical formation, and they could coordinate quickly with each other. Once the front row soldiers fell, the rear would immediately fill the gap. Although it was not a large-scale advancement, it was slow but stable. At this moment, the Japanese were slowly approaching the central army's position.
