    When Ha Zhi Mingxiu saw this, he suddenly realized how stupid his previous understanding was.

    The enemies on the opposite side are not only strong-willed, but also have weapons and equipment that are not inferior to them.

    No!  In terms of weapons and equipment, the enemy even surpassed them.

    The only advantage they have is their numbers and the Bushido spirit they are proud of.

    This made Haji Mingxiu feel a little disappointed, but behind him, Maeda Tsukikawa was secretly proud in his heart.

    Because before this attack started, he had already predicted that this attack would inevitably fail.

    " Kawachi Akihide's failure to study the enemies on the opposite side does not mean that Maeda Tsukikawa, the chief of staff of the Japanese 19th Division, will not study them.

    Before he came to this land, he had already obtained a large amount of combat information about the Fourth Army from the General Staff Headquarters.

    It is precisely because of this information that Maeda Tsukikawa had already anticipated the outcome of this attack before it began.

    The enemy not only possesses a variety of advanced weapons, but the quality of their commanders is also very high.

    ¡°If Haji Mingxiu defeated the enemies on the opposite side so easily, then these enemies would not be able to take back Shanxi, Hebei, and large areas of Pingjin and Tianjin from the hands of the Japanese army.

    At this time, the soldiers charging at the front finally passed through the anti-tank ditch and began to advance one step further towards the Fourth Army's position. This also rekindled hope in Ha Zhimingxiu's heart.

    Just when he was about to issue an order for the reserve team to rush forward to respond to the attack of the front troops.  At this time, on the defensive position of the Fourth Army, the rocket nest was already aimed at the charging Japanese troops.

    These rocket nests use a very large shooting elevation angle to attack nearby Japanese forces.

    The advantage of this is that these missiles will fall directly from the sky after being ejected into the air, so that even those Japanese soldiers hiding in bunkers will be violently bombarded by rockets.

    ¡°These rockets include not only various high-explosive ammunition, but also white phosphorus incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, etc., which can cause huge damage to the Japanese army.

    The Japanese reserve troops have just rushed forward.  These rocket nests were already aimed at the Japanese troops who had just crossed the trench.

    After suffering heavy casualties, the Japanese troops almost stepped on the corpses of their comrades and rushed out of the anti-tank ditch. However, they had just rushed less than a few dozen meters when they heard an extremely dense roar.

    The sound became like the fireworks set off during the New Year, or like the cold wind that kept roaring in my ears.

    These Japanese soldiers subconsciously looked ahead.

    At this time, they clearly saw that on the position of the Fourth Army in front, rockets were dragging red tail flames, rising into the sky, and being thrown directly into the sky.

    ¡°Subsequently, these dense rain of rockets began to fall downwards after reaching a certain height.

    Its crimson tail flames draw a graceful arc in the air, forming a white trajectory like a funeral white silk ribbon.

    However, the place where these rockets fell happened to be where the Japanese troops were at this time.

    When the Japanese soldiers saw this scene, they immediately let out bursts of screams. They did not expect that the enemy actually had such a secret weapon.

    These Japanese soldiers were as arrogant as their division commander Ha Ji Mingxiu. They did not study their enemies carefully before coming to this land.

    So, with a whooshing sound, hundreds of rockets were launched from the rocket nest, like a shower.  It fell all around these Japanese troops.

    Even the Japanese soldiers hiding in the craters were not spared. The vertically landing rockets exploded directly on their heads or beside them.

    Amidst the bursts of loud noises, countless Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, and their screams drowned out the sound of exploding artillery shells.

    Ha Ji Mingxiu, who was in the back, saw such a scene and froze in place.

    The sudden appearance of rockets and the intensive bombardment were completely beyond his expectation. He would never have imagined that the enemy would have such a vicious weapon.

    After a brief shock, he began to curse angrily, but the target of his insults was not the Fourth Army opposite who slaughtered all his soldiers.

    Rather, it¡¯s those people from the General Staff Headquarters.?.

    In order to cope with the Japanese invasion, Xia Yang adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.

    He asked the people outside the city to enter the fortified city, and then concentrated his troops to defend several major cities.

    The Japanese troops ceased operations very quickly, especially their armored units.

    In one day, they outflanked the two wings for a full 30 kilometers.

    A large number of Japanese troops appeared in the outskirts of Peiping and Tianjin.

    Not only that, two reorganized brigades of the Japanese army also began to arrive on the beach east of Qinhuangdao on warships and transport ships.

    They completed the beach landing from here and planned to launch an attack directly on Qinhuangdao behind Shanhaiguan.

    At this time, the Japanese troops were like giant beasts with their bloody mouths open, trying to swallow up the entire Pingjin area.

    Although the Japanese ground troops made very smooth progress, they basically arrived at the corresponding areas as scheduled.

    But there was no expression of joy on the faces of Yamamoto Isoroku, the supreme commander, and Oda Masawa, the supreme chief of staff.

    The eyes of both of them were very solemn.

    From the eyes of the two men, one can also feel that the situation of the battle at this time does not seem to be very favorable to the Japanese army.

    Yamamoto Isoroku kept summarizing and analyzing the intelligence coming from the front.

    Oda Masawa and other staff officers in the headquarters also sorted out this information and tried to find the location of the main force of the Fourth Army, but they failed.

    Their informants in Peiping City and Tianjin City also sent corresponding intelligence, indicating that the troops stationed in Peiping and Tianjin City had been replaced by the Eighth Route Army troops from the main forces of the Fourth Army.

    As for where the main force of the Fourth Army has gone, they don¡¯t know now.

    Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the map, which showed the areas occupied by the Japanese army. He looked at Oda Masawa with a very solemn expression, and then asked aloud: "Oda-kun, where do you think the enemies have gone? Are they really  They have retreated into various cities and plan to rely on these cities to delay our attack?"

    Oda Masawa shook his head and said: "I don't think it is possible. Xia Yang's fighting style has always been to take the initiative.

    "This kind of passive defense, I can't be completely sure that he won't do this.

    However, at least from the information we have collected so far, Xia Yang will never choose this cowardly way to deal with our attack.

    He will definitely choose to take the initiative!  "

    Yamamoto Isoroku nodded in agreement, and then placed the thick stack of information in his hand on the side of the table.

    He then pointed to Beiping and Tianjin on the map, the two major cities, and said: "Then I think we might as well change our thinking.

    We don¡¯t need to look for the enemy¡¯s main force anymore, we only need to attack the enemy¡¯s key nodes.

    So no matter where Xia Yang hides its troops, it needs to come out to fight us in a decisive battle, otherwise it will face the embarrassing situation of losing several strategic places such as Peiping, Tianjin, and Shanhaiguan.

    If so many areas are lost, there will be no point in hiding his main force.  "

    Hearing these words from Yamamoto Isoroku, Oda Masazawa couldn't help but laugh.

    Seeing Oda Masazawa laughing, Yamamoto Isoroku felt a little strange, so he turned his head and asked: "Oda-kun, why are you laughing? Could it be that what I just said sounded ridiculous?  ?¡±

    Oda Masawa shook his head and said: "No, no, your words are not ridiculous. I just thought of some combat cases that I have studied before."

    Yamamoto Isoroku asked a little strangely: "Can you tell me what the battle example is?"

    Oda Masawa pointed to the map and said: "Xia Yang has adopted this fighting method several times before.

    It¡¯s called encircling a point for reinforcements. In fact, this method of fighting can be traced back to the Eighth Route Army.

    When they conduct guerrilla warfare, they often concentrate their superior forces to surround our strongholds and gun towers. Then our surrounding troops who want to come over for reinforcements will be ambushed by them on the way to support.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
