    But their main force is still there, and in another hour, several of their main divisions will be here.

    ¡°Coupled with the 34th Division, the 36th Division, and the 3rd Tank Brigade, their troops outside Tamtsag Prague will reach more than 100,000 people.

    On the other hand, the number of soldiers stationed in Tamchagbula, even including Xia Yang's troops, is about 20,000.

    Itagaki Seishiro used a telescope to observe the defense situation of the entire Tamtsag Prague at this time.

    After Xia Yang's troops were stationed here, they quickly began to dig positions there and build firepower points while the Japanese troops were retreating.  Xia Yang and the others moved flat-fire cannons and heavy machine guns out of the weapons depot and placed them on the front and flanks of the defense line.

    This is specially designed to deal with Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. With these flat-firing guns, the power of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles will be greatly weakened.

    Their tanks are notoriously light, and their armor thickness is very impressive. They cannot withstand the bombardment of Soviet flat-fire artillery from the front.  Even heavy machine guns with larger calibers can penetrate the frontal armor of their armored vehicles.

    Seeing the layout of those horizontal cannons and firepower points, Itagaki Seishiro also had a headache.  He made a rough deduction in his mind.

    If his armored forces attack from the front again, most of the armored vehicles and tanks will be destroyed by those flat-fire cannons.

    When Xia Yang arranged the position, he tilted the positions on both sides inward to form a "V" shaped defensive position.  If the Japanese troops rush into it, they will be bombarded by flat-fire artillery from the front and both sides at the same time.

    If they attack from the flank, they need to make a circle, and the opponent will definitely respond in advance.  Their casualties are still inevitable, and they will most likely fail in vain.

    Itagaki Seishiro slowly opened his eyes and ended the deduction in his mind.

    He must now wait for the main force to arrive before he can launch another attack.

    According to the intelligence passed by their scouts, the Soviet troops have begun to return for reinforcements.  But the number is not very large. There are only three integrated divisions, which add up to about 30,000 people.

    "But although there were not many troops from the Soviet Union returning to support, Itagaki Seishiro couldn't be happy at all.  Because this also means that the Soviet command headquarters does not intend to fight a decisive battle with them in Tamtsag Prague.

    Then it is very likely that they will still use their main forces to attack the vulnerable front of the Japanese army at this time.  Once the Japanese divisions left behind in front of them are defeated, the troops that broke into Tamtsag Prague will become alone.  And he was a lone soldier surrounded by everyone.

    By then they had no supplies and no reinforcements, so the only thing they could do was to break out.  Breaking through would mean defeat, and their battle would end in failure.

    Itagaki Seishiro will not allow this to happen, he needs to seize the last opportunity.

    That was before the three reorganized divisions of the Soviet Union led several main divisions to capture Tamtsag Prague in front of them before returning to defense.

    Even if you can't get the materials and supplies inside, completely destroying them will be enough to defeat the huge Soviet army.

    At this time, his staff officer ran over and said: "Division commander, the main force of the 108th Division and the 18th Division, as well as the main force of our Fifth Division, have all arrived."

    Itagaki Seishiro said: "Order them to immediately make a detour to the flank of Tamtsag Prague and wait for my order to attack at any time. The fifth division will follow me and attack the enemy's front."

    The staff officer said at this time: "By the way, there is one more thing that I need to report to you. That is the 34th Division led by Mukai Zuo, the 36th Division led by His Excellency Mirou Konishi, and the North Cangda  The third tank brigade led by Gu has moved to the rear of Tamuzag Prague.

    They just sent a telegram and they also wanted to participate in the attack on Tamtsag Prague.  "

    "Why are they here?" Itagaki Seishiro asked in surprise, "Aren't they supposed to be stationed in Hylar to ensure the safety of our rear?"

    The staff officer said: "His Excellency Mukaizuo said that their troops were chasing the main enemy force that attacked Hylar, and they pursued them all the way to Tamuzag Prague."

    Itagaki Seishiro pondered for a while, and then said: "It's good to be here. Just in time we can form an encirclement on Tamtsag Prague. When we launch attacks from four directions at the same time, I don't believe in the enemy."It's enough to withstand our offensive.  "

    The staff officer nodded, then ran to the rear and began to deliver Itagaki Seishiro's orders.

    The Japanese troops, like locusts passing through the border, covered the outside of Tamtsag Prague in just two hours.

    After they arrived at the outskirts, they began to cook rice and make final preparations before the battle began.

    A total of more than 100,000 troops have completed their assembly here and are preparing to launch the final attack on Tamtsag Prague, which is under heavy siege.

    Xia Yang was patrolling the battlefield. At this time, the entire defense command of Tamtsag Prague had been handed over to Xia Yang by Zhukov.

    Even the Soviet troops in the city were under the command of Xia Yang.  Also under Xia Yang's command were two flying groups with hundreds of fighter jets and bombers at two field airports in Prague, Tamtsag, and a heavy artillery regiment.

    Therefore, although Tamtsag Prague at this time seems to have only more than 20,000 troops, it has a lot of firepower and support.

    The fire suppression effect that the two heavy artillery regiments can exert on the battlefield is enough to be regarded as a Class A division of the Japanese army.

    But even so, the situation Xia Yang needs to face is still very severe.

    According to Xia Yang's speculation, the Japanese army obviously wanted a quick victory, so once they launched an attack, they would definitely be extremely ferocious.

    Hu San ran over at this time and said to Xia Yang: "Reporter, all fronts have been deployed. The Japanese troops that have been chasing us have now reached the rear and started bombarding our outer defense lines with heavy artillery.  .¡±

    After Xia Yang heard this, he turned his head and looked behind him with his binoculars.  There was the faint sound of shell explosions.  But the distance was too far, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on there. He could only see black smoke rising.

    "Order the troops to prepare for battle. The Japs will launch an attack within an hour at most." Xia Yang said.

    Hu Sandao: "Yes, Master, what tasks do we need to perform this time?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
