Because of the lack of weapons such as flat-firing artillery, these Japanese troops were simply unable to effectively block the advancement of the armored forces of the Fourth Army.
As for their attempt to use their bodies to blow up those tanks and armored vehicles, it is doomed to be in vain.
Although they can achieve certain results through body bombs.
But such a price is too heavy.
In addition, the Japanese defensive positions in Shanhaiguan were originally dug out temporarily and did not have strong defensive capabilities at all.
What¡¯s more, what they faced was an armored force with extremely powerful impact.
Therefore, the Japanese defense line was quickly broken through by them.
The battle on the city wall has ended, but the battle inside Shanhaiguan has continued for some time.
But after they occupied the city wall, the mortars and heavy machine guns of the Kagel Combat Division were deployed on the city wall, and then covered the entire Japanese position in Shanghai Customs with firepower.
This made it even more difficult for the Japanese army to defend themselves. They not only had to face shells falling from time to time overhead, but also bullets from heavy machine guns.
At the same time, we have to face the fierce impact of tanks and armored vehicles from the front.
But what I have to say is that although this Japanese army was temporarily organized.
But they still had a very strong will to fight, and the battle in Shanhaiguan lasted until late at night.
The Japanese troops holding on to Shanhaiguan were basically wiped out. Only about two squadrons of troops chose to retreat.
But at this time in Shanhaiguan, the military flags of the Fourth Army were already flying, and the Japanese plaster flags were chopped down by the Fourth Army with their machetes.
The news of the fierce attack on Shanhaiguan had actually reached Okamura Ningzi at noon.
¡°But Okamura Neji really couldn¡¯t mobilize troops to support them.
The first two brigades drawn from the Kwantung Army were still hundreds of kilometers away from Shanhaiguan.
By the time the two Japanese brigades arrived at the Shanhaiguan Pass, the area had already been occupied by the Fourth Army.
The Fourth Army even destroyed part of the railway entering Shanhaiguan, forcing the Japanese train to stop in a small town more than 20 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan.
Although these two Japanese brigade groups had more than 10,000 people, they rushed to the Pingjin area for support because they were taking trains.
Therefore, they did not carry any heavy weapons, and it was impossible to launch an attack against the Fourth Army, which had a large number of armored troops.
It is even more impossible to conquer Shanhaiguan.
Luo Xinghe stood on the top of Shanhaiguan City, looking at the wilderness shrouded in night in the distance.
? ?Going straight ahead from here is the three eastern provinces, the black land that has been occupied for nearly 10 years.
"Chief of Staff! All enemies in the city have been eliminated. What should we do next?"
Luo Xinghe said: "Start to fortify your defense immediately. At the same time, send some troops out of the city to build defensive positions.
Expand the strategic depth of our military. Reconnaissance troops were dispatched to search along the railway to investigate the status of the Japanese troops. Report the specific location of the main force of the Japanese army at any time. "
"Yes! Chief of Staff!" replied a brigade commander of the Kagel Combat Division.
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Yang's troops began to officially launch their offensive against the Japanese army.
The first to be dispatched were the troops stationed in the Mancheng area.
But this force does not really want to attack Baoding City immediately.
They just made the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang feel a sense of crisis.
At the same time, I am also telling Okamura Neiji that my troops can launch a fierce offensive against Shijiazhuang at any time.
Those little moves you made in the northern Henan area can't contain my troops in Mancheng at all.
Your main force in the northern Henan region should return to defend the Hebei region as soon as possible! Otherwise, not only Baoding City, but also Shijiazhuang will be attacked by us soon.
At ten o¡¯clock in the morning, troops all over the city began to march towards the Baoding area.
They used armored vehicles and tanks as their vanguard, taking the lead in conducting small-scale attacks on some forward observation posts of the Japanese army on the periphery.
And their field airport has also been completed.
The fighter jets and bombers parked there can carry out violent bombing at any time against the fortifications outside Baoding City stationed by the Japanese army.
Also that night, their armored units and heavy artillery units in Laiyuan County had also moved into the north side of Mancheng.
These heavy artillery units were deployed within a short period of time.
The coverage of its artillery can already cover many Japanese defenses in the west of Baoding City.
These armored units and heavy artillery units had already arrived in Mancheng at noon yesterday.
They rested for most of the day and then set out again in the middle of the night to launch an initial offensive against the Japanese garrisoned Baoding City.
The commander of the Japanese army in Baoding City was Qiao Liangjie, the commander of the 9th Japanese Mixed Brigade.
At this time, he was anxiously talking to the headquarters, pacing his face.
The green-black stubble was already like vines, covering half of his face.
He has sent back all the troops around Baoding City for reinforcements, and then asked them all to enter the permanent defense fortifications outside Baoding City.
These fortifications were built by Neji Okamura before.
Now they can be put to use, but Da Qiao Ryosuke is full of doubts about whether these defenses can withstand the joint attack of enemy armored troops and heavy artillery troops.
At around six o'clock in the morning, he had already received the first intelligence from the peripheral observation post.
It is said that the enemy's armored forces have begun to attack their outposts, and the six observation posts on the periphery have been removed by the enemy's armored forces.
As for some observation posts with relatively strong defenses, they were bombarded by the enemy with heavy artillery at fixed points, and all were destroyed without leaving any one behind.
Da Qiao Liangjie knew clearly that this was the prelude to the enemy's attack.
They will conduct a large-scale advance and attack after clearing the Japanese observation posts on the periphery.
In this way, the eyes placed by the Japanese army on the east side of Mancheng were blinded by all the four armies.
"But Da Qiao Ryosuke has no other way.
His troops were unable to take the initiative, and did not even have the conditions to take the initiative.
At this time, the total number of troops he can mobilize is only about 15,000.
??And many of them are puppet troops.
The combat effectiveness of these troops is very poor, and they are basically defeated at the first touch with the enemy's regular troops.
¡°The only unit that Da Qiao Ryosuke can really mobilize and be able to fight the enemy on the frontal battlefield is actually his brigade.
