    Hao Shiwen already understood in his heart that for the soldiers who stayed in Beiping City or Tianjin City, this battle might only be truly intense for a few days.

    But for them, this battle will continue from beginning to end.

    Untilall these Japanese troops are driven into the sea to feed the fish, otherwise, their mission will not be over.

    Ha Ji Mingxiu saw ahead that his own attacking troops had completely retreated. No matter how he shouted, these troops could no longer be organized to participate in the attack.

    He knew that he had indeed underestimated his enemy, and now, he was paying the price for this contempt.

    So, he suddenly turned his head and looked at his chief of staff, Maeda Tsukikawa.

    Seemingly noticing the faint smile on the corner of Maeda Tsukikawa's mouth, he frowned and whipped the riding crop in his hand hard on Maeda Tsukikawa's arm.

    After being hit by the horsewhip, Maeda Tsukikawa immediately felt a burning pain in his arm.

    Even through his clothes, the force of the whip still penetrated directly into his body, stimulating his pain nerves and making him scream out subconsciously.

    But before he could scream, Ha Zhi Mingxiu said coldly: "You are not allowed to scream. If you cry out in pain, I will whip you again."

    Maeda Tsukikawa was very angry, but he also knew that the playboy in front of him was not someone he could offend.

    So he could only swallow his anger, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and bowed and said: "Yes! Your Excellency, the division commander."

    Ha Ji Mingxiu smiled coldly, as if he was secretly proud that the man in front of him had to succumb to him.

    He said with an impatient look: "Find me a piece of information about the Fourth Army immediately, tonight. I want to study them carefully.

    By tomorrow morning, they won¡¯t be so lucky, and I¡¯ll show them what real hell is.  "

    As he said this, he turned his head and glanced fiercely at the Fourth Army position in the distance.

    When the 19th Japanese Division attacked the harbor, other Japanese troops were also rapidly advancing into the inland areas.

    These Japanese troops marched straight in without encountering almost any obstacles, but wherever they went, they rarely saw human habitation.

    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  Huddled in various citiesAre you planning 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
