    "kill!!"

    Hao Shiwen shot down two Japanese soldiers who were trying to escape, and roared from his throat.

    The soldiers around him also widened their eyes and charged forward one after another.  The Japanese troops had no time to organize themselves and were scattered by their troops.

    "And these scattered Japanese soldiers had to face attacks from the Fourth Army troops that were several times their size. In the blink of an eye, they were turned into corpses on the ground between flying bullets and flashing bayonets.

    There was still a small-scale resistance from the Japanese army at the beginning. After half an hour of fighting, only sporadic Japanese soldiers were still resisting.

    Hao Shiwen had no intention of persuading them to surrender, and directly used rocket launchers and flamethrowers to defeat these Japanese troops.

    After annihilating the Japanese army, dozens of trucks in the harbor have arrived at the outskirts of the camp.

    The large amount of supplies left by the Japanese army in the camp were loaded onto these trucks by the soldiers and transported to the harbor.

    They will have to fight there for a long time, and they will use these materials in the future.

    Especially the captured Japanese ammunition and many other weapons and equipment will play their due role in future battles with the Japanese army.

    The two brigades of the Japanese army going to the north bank to support them received orders from Yamamoto Isoroku just after crossing the river with the strength of the two brigades.

    They were about to turn around and return when they saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of their camp.

    Seeing this scene, they immediately returned to defense and ran towards the camp.

    It was also at this time that the Japanese bombing of the bridge began.

    At this time, many of Xia Yang's troops were crossing the river and were suddenly bombed. Many soldiers were killed and injured by Japanese artillery shells.

    Xia Yang looked at the bombed bridge in the distance and immediately ordered the commander of the reconnaissance battalion to lock the Japanese artillery positions and at the same time let the fighter planes take off to bombard the Japanese artillery positions.

    At this time, their heavily armed troops had already arrived at the north bank first.

    The troops remaining in the north are basically infantry and cavalry troops.

    After the armored troops arrived at the south bank, they began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese defense line deployed there.

    They moved very quickly. Before the two Japanese brigades even had time to return to defense, the armored divisions of the Fourth Army had already advanced more than ten kilometers in the dark.

    On the other hand, the Japanese troops are still moving in this direction.

    Yamamoto Isoroku used his binoculars to look at the direction of the distant flames.

    "Our artillery has begun bombardment."

    Oda Masawa next to him said, then lowered his head and looked at his watch.

    At this time, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and there was only less than an hour before dawn.

    Yamamoto Isoroku said with some concern: "Our defense line in the south was broken through by the enemy's troops before it was established.

    If the supporting troops are too slow, they may not be able to stop these guys.  "

    While he was speaking, the air force of the Fourth Army had already arrived and hovered above the battlefield.

    They received the relevant coordinates provided by the reconnaissance battalion, saying that it was the Japanese artillery position, which was located in the area defined by the coordinates.

    After these fighter planes arrived in the designated airspace, they used telescopes to observe the Japanese artillery positions below, firing artillery shells in the darkness.

    That became the most obvious target. These air force pilots could bomb the target directly without even letting people on the ground guide them.

    Accompanied by a metallic collision sound as the magazine opened, the bomb had revealed its ferocious face on the belly of the bomber.

    ¡°Start dropping bombs!!¡±

    As the order was issued, the pilots of these bombers dimmed their buttons and began to carry out large-scale bombing of the Japanese artillery positions below.

    They are just one of many bomber formations. Other bomber formations are also conducting large-scale bombings against some Japanese artillery positions.

    On the deck of the aircraft carrier, I used a telescope to observe the distant coastline.  In the direction of the artillery position, the fire caused by the explosion illuminated the sky clearly.

    "Something's wrong, why are there explosions over there? Has the enemy locked the position of our artillery unit?"

    While Yamamoto Isoroku was confused, Chief of Staff Oda Masawa had already hurried out of the command room with a telegram.

      He panted slightly and said: "Commander-in-Chief, the enemy's bomber formation conducted a large-scale bombing of several of our artillery positions a few minutes ago.

    If our speculation is correct, it is very likely that their ground reconnaissance forces locked the location of these artillery positions and then let aircraft carry out large-scale bombing.  "

    Hearing this, Yamamoto Isoroku decisively ordered: "Order those artillery units to move their positions immediately!!"

    The importance of these artillery units to the Japanese Army is self-evident.

    ¡°If they only relied on the infantry of the ground forces to carry out this battle, they still don¡¯t know how many casualties they would have to pay.

    As for their naval guns, although they are powerful, these ships cannot put on wheels and run wildly on land.  The coverage of its artillery is also very limited.

    It now appears that the enemy's offensive forces have discovered the specific location of their artillery positions and at the same time conducted a large-scale bombing.

    So, if the bombardment continues, they will only suffer greater casualties.

    "These guys are always more difficult to deal with than I thought."

    Yamamoto Isoroku sighed, and then said: "Let the two outer divisions quickly launch an attack on the enemy's flanks and rear.

    "If we wait until dawn, all the enemy's troops may have crossed the river.  Our battle plan this time may also come to nothing.  "

    After hearing these words, Oda Masawa said: "Don't worry, we still have plan No. 2. If the enemy really wants to go south and enter Hebei, then we can dispatch troops to go north to attack the enemy's troops in Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan.  Attack hard.¡±

    Yamamoto Isoroku thought for a while, and then said: "If this is the case, then we might as well execute this attack order now."

    He already had a premonition that even if he sent more troops to intercept Xia Yang's troops in the south, it would be more difficult.

    If this is the case, it would be better to let the two Japanese divisions assembled go directly north to attack Qinhuangdao.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
