In this battle, a battalion of Japanese infantry have to hold back a reinforced Chinese battalion. The Chinese objectives are inflicting casualties, clearing the main east-west road, and exiting units. Overconfident from their prior victories, the Japanese decided to defend the whole length of the single map, in three company-sized forces, each with additional fire support from HMGs, infantry guns or mortars. The Chinese split their force in three, a company-sized pinning force on the north and south flanks, and a 3-company assault force in the center. The plan was to use local superiority in the center to smash the Japanese there and secure the road as well as have the available troops to exit eventually. It just required the flanks to sell themselves dearly to keep the Japanese flanks occupied.

The battles on the flanks went very badly for the Chinese, their forces melted away due to losses and demoralization in short order. But the attack in the center overwhelmed the Japanese and left the Chinese in a very strong position to weather attacks from the Japanese flanking forces as they charged into the center to try to stop the Chinese juggernaut there. Massed Chinese HMGs and well-organized company attacks were able to defeat the Japanese in detail, and their force was largely wiped out after three hours. The Chinese achieved all their objectives for a major victory.
