But not withdrawing the troops from the front line means that his soldiers have to endure the scorching flames and the suffocation caused by the thick smoke.
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka was in a dilemma. Just as he hesitated, the incendiary bombs and napalm barrels had slowly stopped firing.
It¡¯s just that the flames on the position are still burning, and thick smoke is spreading everywhere.
But it won¡¯t take long for these flames to gradually extinguish and the thick smoke to gradually dissipate.
During this process, the tank troops, which had already been prepared for battle, and a large number of infantry in the rear began to advance towards the Japanese army.
The Japanese soldiers, who suffered heavy casualties, struggled to climb out of their positions that had been burned by the flames.
They didn¡¯t even have time to help the burned soldiers, so they had to enter their respective combat positions.
Because the enemy's tanks and infantry have advanced to a position less than fifty meters away from the position.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were shouting as they advanced.
The loud shouts of killing shook the world. Even Yoshio Shinozuka in the distance could feel the overwhelming murderous aura.
The roar of the tank engine has been covered up by the shouts of killing.
Those Japanese soldiers who had just entered their respective fighting positions looked at the soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army rushing over from a distance with fear.
They have already felt the trembling from their souls. The overwhelming murderous intent has penetrated into their spinal cords.
"Shoot!!" The Japanese frontline commander shouted with all his strength.
The remaining Japanese soldiers on the position roared and started shooting.
The sound of bullets hitting the steel plate was like a death knell.
These Japanese soldiers knew that the rifles in their hands were no different from fire sticks in front of tanks and armored vehicles.
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"
The cry of killing is getting closer and closer.
In between the shouts of killing, the roar of heavy machine guns on tanks can also be heard.
Most of the Japanese troops in the forward positions have been killed or injured. At this time, less than half of them were still on the position.
The remaining Japanese troops were unable to stop the advance of the tanks. But orders from the rear had been issued, telling them to hold their position and not to retreat even half a step.
Those Japanese troops showed their last madness, rushed out of the front line, and charged towards the tanks again.
"Da da da!!"
The sound of heavy machine guns sounded, and strings of bullets were fired, like fire whips raised high, hitting these Japanese soldiers hard.
¡°Pfft!! Pfft!!¡±
The sound of bullets piercing the human body is like the whisper of a ghost calling for life. Devouring the lives of one Japanese soldier after another.
The offensive is already unstoppable! !
The tanks rolled over the Japanese corpses and advanced deeper into the position.
The infantrymen in the rear began to follow the trenches and clean up the Japanese fortifications along the way one by one.
In the fortifications, a large number of burned Japanese soldiers endured severe pain and still resisted.
Under fire from flamethrowers and grenades, they were reduced to ash or blown to smithereens.
In Datong City, a large number of Japanese soldiers wanted to support the front line. As soon as they reached the first line of defense, they saw the flags of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army being raised on the outer positions.
As for their plaster flags, they were cut down directly and drowned in the flames together with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.
The outer defense line was all lost in less than half a day.
As for the Japanese troops on the outer defense line, most of them died from flames or suffocation. A considerable number of the rest died in the subsequent battles.
Only a small part retreated to the second line of defense.
Yoshio Shinozuka watched helplessly as their perimeter defenses were lost one after another. But I can't do anything myself.
Because the speed at which the enemy is occupying their position has exceeded the speed at which their soldiers can support them.
This is the most terrifying thing. Their failure on the outer defense line can be described as a disaster.
There was no effective counterattack, and even decent resistance could not be organized again. Their positions on the outside??All lost.
Today¡¯s battle is completely different from yesterday.
"If yesterday they were able to come back and forth, today they were unilaterally crushed by Xia Yang's troops.
They are like a newbie in the boxing ring facing an experienced boxing champion.
In the first round, the boxing champion was testing, but he could barely resist. But in the second round, the boxing champion let go, and they never had any chance.
The Japanese casualty report was presented to Yoshio Shinozuka in the afternoon.
Looking at the hastily written numbers on the pale paper, Shinozuka Yoshio felt heartbroken.
In just one day, they suffered more than 6,000 casualties. The enemy's casualties were less than yesterday.
Because the vast majority of these casualties died under incendiary bombs, rather than directly under enemy gunfire.
To put it bluntly, this is simply a one-sided massacre.
Yoshio Shinozuka realized that their previous predictions about the war situation might have been too optimistic.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, let's retreat! The retreat road to Zhangjiakou is not blocked yet. If we retreat from there, we can still preserve the main force." Honda political material was the first to suggest.
He has fought many times with the armored units of the Fourth Army, and he knows that the gap in equipment and combat concepts cannot be bridged by the spirit of Bushido.
Choosing to retreat now is actually the wisest decision.
Of course, the wisest decision is to retreat directly before the enemy encircles Datong.
But Yoshio Shinozuka did not give up at the time and underestimated the gap between the two sides. As a result, they suffered tens of thousands of casualties in just two days.
Such a horrific number of casualties was unimaginable to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"We are surrounded by three and one is missing. The enemy's purpose is not to annihilate us all. It is to make us withdraw from Datong." Suematsu Shigeshi said at this time, "If the war continues to be delayed, the enemy is likely to change the current strategy .(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
