After all, in terms of frontal firepower, their 59th Wing had an overwhelming advantage. Tokimori Takuno was even confident that under the first round of artillery fire, 50% of the firepower points in the city would be removed.
Banishi Yiliang nodded, he also had the same confidence.
The Japanese troops advancing in the direction of Jinpu Road have frequently reported good news. Their attack hardly encountered many obstacles, except for some setbacks when attacking Daming City.
Banxi Yiliang was equally confident that he could attack the entire city at the fastest speed.
As for Xia Yang, he would die from the intensive artillery bombardment of their 14th Division, or his head would be chopped off by the saber in his hand.
"Get some rest early! The battle at Nanjuma River will be fierce tomorrow. We are the vanguard and we must not make any mistakes." Ichiro Sakanishi told Takuno Tokimori.
Tokimori Takuno asked Banishi Ichiyoshi: "Aren't you going to rest?"
Banxi Yiliang rubbed the corner of his eyes and said: "I miss Ciliang a little, I will go to rest later." After saying that, he once again turned his attention to the direction of Baoding City in the north.
Tokimori Takuno looked at his back and knew that if Xia Yang was not killed, Ichiro Sakanishi would never be able to open his heart.
He sighed and walked towards the bottom of the city wall.
Early the next morning, the news that the Japanese army had captured Rongcheng and was advancing on Nanjuma River had spread throughout the city.
Hearing that the Japanese troops were coming, many people in the city began to panic. Many people began to walk out of the south gate of the city with their families and ran towards Henan.
They finally became homeless and wandering refugees just like the people in the refugee camps outside the city.
Of course, some people choose to stay in Mancheng. Some of them are because they are old, and some are because they are not willing to go back and forth. They think that this little devil is here. At worst, they have to be obedient people. How can the little devil not let them live?
There are also some people who choose to believe in the national army stationed here and believe that they can hold on to Baoding City. This also includes refugees all over the city and outside the city.
They have fled thousands of kilometers and don¡¯t want to run away anymore. It would be better to stay in Mancheng and fight side by side with the soldiers of the fourth regiment.
Xia Yang was quite moved by these refugees who chose to stay. However, he still advised these refugees to continue running south, because he knew that only their 29th Army and 59th Army were stationed in Baoding City, and it would be difficult to resist a frontal attack by the Japanese army. Eventually this will become a fallen area.
But the refugees all identified the Fourth Regiment and Xia Yang and were unwilling to leave here. Many of them even took the initiative to sign up to help the Fourth Regiment carry supplies and dig trenches, which can be regarded as playing some role.
Xia Yang also knew that he could not persuade these people to leave. He was moved, but worried about their future fate.
If the Japanese army captured Mancheng, what would be the fate of these refugees? He didn't know.
After receiving the news that the Japanese army was about to attack Baoding City, Xia Yang speeded up building defense lines throughout the city.
The refugees also took the initiative to join in, helping Xia Yang and the others carry wood and dig trenches. Some people from all over the city also joined in, and together with Xia Yang's four regiments, they guarded the homeland where they lived.
On the outskirts of Mancheng, Xia Yang did something very simple, which was to cut down all the woods outside the city wall. This ensures that those little devils have no place to hide.
If the Japanese army charges, they will only be able to march on that flat land, completely exposed to the firepower of Xia Yang and others.
At the same time, Xia Yang also asked craftsmen to reinforce the walls throughout the city. This work started not long after Xia Yang entered Mancheng.
Almost every day, hundreds of people are busy on the walls of the city to make the walls more stable.
But Xia Yang knew that no matter how hard he reinforced the city wall, it would eventually collapse under the fierce Japanese artillery fire.
So Xia Yang¡¯s second line of defense is the barricades built throughout the city.
In this month, Xia Yang turned almost the entire city into a huge fortress. On almost every street corner, he had soldiers build shooting fortresses out of reinforced concrete.
If the city wall is lost, the machine gun fire will be immediately transferred to these shooting fortresses with stable shooting.
At the same time, he also connected the barricades through tunnels and roof passages. No matter whereIf there is a problem with the barricade, he can immediately send mobile troops to support that barricade.
In this way, even if the Japanese army can finally capture Mancheng, Xia Yang can ensure that the Japanese army pays maximum casualties. At the same time, it can also be delayed for a longer period of time.
Once the order to retreat is given, Xia Yang can choose to retreat from the west gate or the south gate. By retreating to the south, he could enter the Henan region, and by retreating to the west, he could enter the Taihang Mountains.
Xia Yang will not leave no escape route for himself. After all, the war of resistance will last for a long time. If he hangs here casually, how will he use his fists in the future?
But what surprised Xia Yang was that County Magistrate Zhang did not leave Mancheng.
He originally thought that this old guy was finally brave, but he didn't expect that this guy was reluctant to part with his share of the family business and was unwilling to leave Mancheng no matter what.
Ten barrels of gelled gasoline have been put into wine jars by the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment. There are hundreds of napalm bombs, which will definitely be enough for these people to drink when the little devils rush up.
In addition, in the next few days, he asked his soldiers to stop training and instead began to conduct military exercises throughout the city.
The content of the exercise was nothing else but how to resist the Japanese attack.
In addition to protection against shelling, there is also protection against air strikes. At the same time, Xia Yang also worked with He Changxing, as well as several other commanders and staff members in the regiment, to imagine various ways of attack by the Japanese army and how to deal with them.
There are also various plans for street fighting with the Japanese army on the barricades after the city gate is lost.
Although these plans may not work as expected when the real battle comes. But planning is something that always puts people at ease.
After all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, who knows what the little devil on the other side is thinking. Even if they suddenly bare their buttocks and wear white pants and perform a banzai charge, it wouldn't necessarily be possible.
Xia Yang and He Changxing have considered so many plans and imagined various possibilities. When they arrive on the battlefield, they will make adjustments according to the battlefield situation.
