Xia Yang said in a light tone: "Look at you, you act like we are going to die tomorrow. Relax, although I can't sleep because of the little devil's fleet, I am really not afraid of them."
Although Xia Yang looked relaxed, Hao Shiwen's face was still solemn, as if there was a thick layer of frost.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from seizing the beach and landing this time, Xia Yang took a plane from the northern Henan area to the Pingjin area and personally directed the battle.
At this time, the Japanese troops in the Shijiazhuang area and the enemies in the Xingtai area were no longer afraid.
Xia Yang handed over the Fourth Army troops in northern Henan to the command of Wei Xing, Liu Changlong and others, and then personally flew here to direct the upcoming brutal battle.
Xia Yang gave full trust to Wei Xing, Liu Changlong, Li Yunlong and others, allowing them to decide how to conduct operations in Hebei and Henan.
At this time, the situation in northern Henan is already very good.
Their troops only need to go north to attack the Japanese army in the Shijiazhuang area, and the main force of the Kagel Combat Division, as well as the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei area, to attack the Japanese army in the Shijiazhuang area from both sides, and then they can push this Japanese army from Hebei. Expelled from the area, or directly encircled and annihilated.
At this time, the Japanese army only had more than 100,000 troops in the Shijiazhuang area.
They huddled all these forces in some cities around Shijiazhuang.
By building a tight fortress defense system, they can block the fierce attacks of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army against them.
However, during this period, the Japanese army actually showed a trend of retreat. ,
On the one hand, it¡¯s because their logistics supplies can¡¯t keep up.
Because, at this time, this Japanese army was equivalent to being surrounded in the Hebei area, with no source of logistical supplies.
They only relied on the ammunition and material reserves in North China to support their consumption. But in the long-term battle, it has become a bit empty.
In addition, the armored units of the Kagel Combat Division also caused a lot of damage to them.
Although these Japanese troops relied on their superior strength, they repeatedly repelled the Kagel Combat Division, the closest armored force.
¡°However, this method of combat cost them huge casualties and was obviously unsustainable.
Now, the troops in northern Henan will also launch an attack on this Japanese army.
This put the Japanese army in the Shijiazhuang area into a real desperate situation.
However, since they obtained the Japanese aircraft carrier formation and were about to conduct landing operations in the Pingjin area, they gave up the idea of ????retreating and decided to continue to hold on in the Shijiazhuang area.
As the supreme commander of the North China Expeditionary Force, Okamura Neiji is even more confident.
Because he knew that once their aircraft carrier formation completed the landing operation, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops would attack from the north and south, and together with them, launch a large-scale counterattack against the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Coupled with the large number of troops dispatched by the Kwantung Army, they will form an iron fist and hit the Japanese and Eighth Route Army hard.
With this thought, Okamura Neiji gave up and finally retreated south to the Shandong area.
In fact, at this moment, if Okamura Neiji brings these more than 100,000 people to join the troops led by Kengawa Heiichiro, and then retreat together to the Shandong area, it is possible to escape intact, at least he will not suffer too many attacks loss.
¡°However, the decision that Okamura Neiji has made now may bring huge benefits in the future, but it also cuts off his own way out.
"If the Japanese army's landing operation failed, and the Japanese Kwantung Army was blocked outside Shanhaiguan, there was no way to make progress in the attack.
It is very likely that they will fall into a desperate situation surrounded by enemies and lose all supplies and reinforcements.
However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
This time Okamura Neiji also plans to be a gambler in war.
He wanted to make a huge gamble with the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
If possible, he hopes to win back all the chips he has lost in this war gamble.
Following Xia Yang to the Pingjin area, there are also the main force of the guard regiment and the main force of the sniper brigade. They will participate in this counterattack against the Japanese landing operation.In motion.
However, they will not participate in frontal combat, but will wait until the Japanese army completes the beach landing, and then cooperate with the main force on the ground to harass and annihilate the Japanese army.
They will be like sharp knives, suddenly appearing on the side and rear of the Japanese army, making it difficult for the Japanese army to guard against them.
Rather than being used as a shield, it was placed at the front of the battlefield to act as a human shield against the Japanese attack.
? Less than 5 kilometers away from the Tianjin coastline is Xia Yang¡¯s temporary headquarters.
After he arrived here the day before yesterday, he began to compile all the information provided by the ANBU and other investigation forces.
After watching it all night, Xia Yang began to think about how to deal with this Japanese attack.
According to the intelligence they obtained, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet on the Bohai Sea at this time is only part of it.
This time, the Japanese army not only mobilized a large number of infantry units from the mainland, but also mobilized a large number of naval forces from Southeast Asia to participate in this beach landing operation.
According to the Japanese army¡¯s plan, they plan to allow these aircraft carrier formations to return to the homeland after the first stage of beach landing is completed.
The second batch of troops participating in the landing operations were also brought to the Pingjin area.
Not only that, there will also be a large number of Japanese transport ships in Dalian Port, which is very close to the coastline of the Pingjin area, to transport the Japanese Kwantung Army to the Pingjin area to participate in ground operations here.
The Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters roughly estimated that their attack this time will be divided into two stages, and the total number of troops invested will exceed 500,000.
??Among them, 200,000 people were concentrated in the north of Shanhaiguan and launched a fierce offensive on the ground.
Once Shanhaiguan is breached, they can go south and directly launch a fierce attack on the Pingjin area.
There are still 300,000 people who will be transported to the Pingjin area for combat via sea transport ships and various warships after completing the beach landing.
Compared with the 500,000 troops invested by the Japanese army this time, the number of troops that can be concentrated here in Xia Yang. In terms of quantity, it is much inferior to the Japanese army.
First of all, there are only more than 50,000 troops in the Shanhaiguan area.
Under the leadership of Luo Xinghe, they resisted the fierce attack launched by the Japanese army north of Shanhaiguan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
