    Hearing the report of the reinforcement fleet, Toshishiro Obata and Yoshijiro Umezu were stunned at first, then furious, and then there was no more. The North China Front Army asked the Kwantung Army to attack across the sea because of the lack of troops and was unable to launch an attack from the road.  Who would have imagined that this group of Tubalu would suddenly have such a powerful sea force, such as gunboats with fierce firepower, torpedo boats equipped with two-ton heavy torpedoes, and undetectable sea mines I am afraid that those few old warships in Lushun Port would all be destroyed.  Even if the Kwantung Army can continue to fight back regardless of losses, those navy red deer will definitely not be buried with them.  So apart from pinching their noses to admit the fact that the Eighth Route Army occupied Yantai and Weihai, these two army giants really couldn't think of any other way.

    The Japanese army gave up the counterattack, but the Jiaodong Eighth Route Army did not stop there. After capturing Yantai and Weihai, the Japanese army only left Qingdao in the Jiaodong area. At this time, there were only 4 infantry brigades and 3,000 marines in Qingdao.  The team and more than 10,000 puppet troops do not have many troops. As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Monk Xu will naturally not let this opportunity pass.  The city was handed over to the local troops and navy for garrison, and all the twelve armies were led southward, and they went straight to Qingdao in three routes.

    The three divisions of the 12th Army are all newly victorious divisions, and their morale is high. It took only three days for the soldiers like tigers down the mountain to reach the outskirts of Jiaozhou Bay.  The millimeter cannon was blasted into pieces, and the Japanese army inside either surrendered voluntarily, or were blown into the sky along with their Tuwangba.

    Then the 36th Division madly attacked Jiaozhou. Facing the violent bombardment of the 122, 130, and 152 pipes, the slamming of the 62-type tanks and the 63-type armored vehicles, a Japanese brigade and more than 1,000 puppet troops in Jiaozhou City, even  After failing to defend for 3 days, they were defeated by the 36th Division. More than 700 Japanese troops and nearly a thousand puppet troops became dead under the guns, and the rest became prisoners of the Eighth Route Army.

    While the 36th Division was attacking, the 37th and 38th Divisions also launched a fierce attack on Chengyang from the northeast and northwest.  Except for half of the two Japanese brigades in Chengyang who fled to Qingdao when the city was broken, the remaining devils were either killed or captured. As for the brigade of the Imperial Association Army, they took the initiative to  "Anyway".

    As soon as Chengyang came, the gate of Qingdao opened, and then the 37th and 38th divisions continued to attack south without any modification, with nearly a hundred tanks from the two armored battalions.  Like a huge steel arrow, with the cooperation of the artillery regiment belonging to the division, it took only three days to break through the three Japanese defense lines of Baisha River, Laoshan River and Licun River, and advance to the outskirts of Qingdao City.

    But the next battle was not so easy to fight¡ª¡ªQingdao has been one of the important ports in northern China since the end of Qing Dynasty.  In addition to Haibao Fort, a complete line of defense was built on the outskirts of the city with Taiping Mountain, Qingdao Mountain, and Chushui Mountain as the core. Among them, the Qingdao Fortress on Qingdao Mountain is a solid mountain fortification group that is comparable to the Lushun Fortress.

    The Japanese army snatched Jiaozhou Bay from the Germans and regarded it as a bridgehead to attack Shandong. In addition to expanding the urban area and stationing heavy troops, they also rebuilt a complete defense system on the outskirts of Qingdao. After more than ten years, before and after  With the hard work of more than 300,000 Chinese laborers, Qingdao finally formed a huge defense line from Jiaozhou Bay in the west to the Yellow Sea in the east, with a length of more than 50 kilometers and a depth of about 5 kilometers.  With permanent fortifications and a well-established network of trenches, the Japanese army also hollowed out all the natural mountains such as the North Neighborhood, Shuangshan Mountain, and Fushan Mountain on the defense line, and built mountain fortifications that can be called fortresses inside.

    In these mountain fortifications, there are only 68 heavy artillery with a caliber of 150 mm or more. Lieutenant General Kamio Mitsuomi, the first commander of the Qingdao Garrison who presided over the construction of the defense line, once said: "In terms of scale and firmness. The Qingdao defense line  Far surpassing Lushun Golden Mountain, it is the strongest barrier of the empire in **."

    Since the line of defense was established, there has never been a war again, so no one knows how strong the line of defense is, but the facts are not absolute. Now the soldiers of the 37th and 38th divisions of the Twelfth Army are coming to test it.  The Japanese became the defense line of Qingdao's fortress. Is it as strong as in the legend?

    Facts have proved that Lieutenant General Kamio Mitsuomi is not boasting. The 37th and 38th divisions have nearly 40,000 people, more than 400 cannons, and more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles.  Minefields, densely packed permanent fortifications, trenches extending in all directions, heavy artillery in mountain fortifications, and dense shells fired by warships on the sea have all become huge obstacles to the progress of the soldiers. Those who have nowhere to go?No matter how many landmines, bright and dark firepower that may appear at any time, and huge naval artillery shells, they also caused major damage to the troops. Although they were protected by body armor, a large number of soldiers fell forever on the road to attack. The more serious  Yes, the heavy artillery in the mountain fortifications made tanks and armored vehicles no longer invincible. After three days, a total of 8 Type 62 tanks and more than a dozen Type 63 armored vehicles were shot by 150mm tanks during the attack.  The heavy artillery hit directly, and together with the crew inside, it turned into a burning fireball.

    It is no exaggeration to say that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have to pay the price of blood every time they lay down a firepower point, blow up a bunker, or even take a step forward.

    On the fourth day of the battle, the two division commanders teamed up to find Monk Xu, and said eagerly: "Commander, we can't continue fighting like this. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid even if we break through this defensive line, there will be no more of us left."  How much!"

    'I didn't expect the little devil's line of defense to be so difficult to crack. The two divisions, hundreds of artillery pieces, and more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles actually broke their teeth!  Monk Xu felt distressed when he saw the shocking number of casualties, and immediately said: "Well, let's (remember this website: www.hlnovel.com)
