Facing the soldiers of the Fourth Army with sufficient strength, sophisticated equipment, and extremely strong combat capabilities, the Japanese army consisted of three brigades. Even if they launched attacks from several directions at the same time in Qinhuangdao, they could not capture the small town in front of them.
The head of the Japanese advance brigade who was responsible for commanding this battle began to feel more impatient when he looked at the collapsed outer city walls of Qinhuangdao in many places.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were retreating again, he put down the telescope in his hand and turned around angrily: "I don't quite understand. There are clearly less than 3,000 enemy troops in the city. Why are there more than 10,000 of us, but there are no more?" Find a way to attack it."
The staff officer behind him had already answered this question before.
But now, he had to answer again.
¡°Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the enemy¡¯s reinforcements have greatly enhanced their combat effectiveness.
The key point is that we saw that many people in the city were also armed, throwing grenades at us on the top of the city, and even shooting with rifles.
Of course they are not well-trained soldiers, but these ordinary people can cause us a lot of trouble just by throwing grenades condescendingly.
Our enemies are not just the three infantry battalions armed to the teeth, but also the people of the entire city. "
After saying these words in one breath, the Japanese staff officer lowered his head again, waiting for the coming storm.
But when the brigade commander of the Japanese advance brigade was about to vent his anger through insults, a soldier ran over at this time.
"Report, our army found signs of enemy armored forces advancing five kilometers to the southwest.
We suspect that it is the enemy's armored troops, which have already arrived in Qinhuangdao. "
"Five kilometers?"
Hearing this distance, the commander of the Japanese advance brigade was stunned. Then he turned around, picked up his telescope, and looked to the southwest.
From this angle, he could see the setting sun and its slightly dazzling light.
"In that direction? How many people are there?"
The head of the Japanese advance brigade asked.
The Japanese soldier who came to report said: "We found about thirty tanks and armored vehicles.
"However, that is just the enemy's vanguard force. Further away, they saw the smoke and dust produced by the march of large groups of troops.
It is the enemy¡¯s main force, they have already arrived here"
When he said this, the Japanese soldier showed a little fear in his eyes.
He has a psychological shadow over the steel torrent of the Fourth Army.
The head of the Japanese advance brigade looked downcast, turned his head, looked at the map, and then said: "Immediately report this information to the Commander-in-Chief.
The enemy's main reinforcements have arrived, and we must make a decision. "
"yes!!!"
The Japanese soldier shouted.
Outside Shanhaiguan, Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the damaged city wall that was almost completely collapsed, his eyes full of anger and confusion.
What makes him angry is that these enemies in front of him are so tenacious. No matter how their soldiers attacked, they could not break through the enemy's line of defense.
He was confused as to why the enemy could push back their ferocious attacks again and again even though almost all of the city walls where the enemy was stationed had collapsed.
Although in this process, the enemies in the city paid an extremely heavy price.
But even so, the fact that they didn't move forward was something Yamamoto Isoroku never expected.
Just when Yamamoto Isoroku gave the order and planned to launch the final push, a staff officer ran in and shouted: "Report! Urgent telegram from the front."
"read!"
Yamamoto Isoroku withdrew his gaze from the broken city wall in front, and said in a suppressed angry voice.
The soldier loudly said: "The advance brigade besieging Qinhuangdao discovered the enemy's armored troops five kilometers to the southwest.
That was the enemy's vanguard force, about thirty tanks and armored vehicles.
But behind the enemy's vanguard force, our reconnaissance force also discovered the smoke and dust stirred up by the advance of a large group of enemy troops. "
"How is that possible? It's only been one day, how can they come with support?"
Yamamoto Isoroku immediately said:??
However, even though he said it was impossible, Yamamoto Isoroku did not doubt the authenticity of this telegram.
After all, this enemy force has done too many things that in his opinion are unbelievable and even unimaginable.
The staff officer on the side said: "If the enemy's armored troops and a large number of trucks form a transport unit to transport infantry.
?Then the enemy can do it.
"And we suspect that the enemy was aware of our army's combat intentions last night and set off in advance.
It is not impossible to reach Qinhuangdao area in one day and night. "
Yamamoto Isoroku turned his head, walked a few steps to the other side of the headquarters, and looked to the southwest.
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at the map.
¡°It¡¯s five kilometers away from Qinhuangdao and only dozens of miles away from us.
We must retreatThis time the battle has been declared a failure. "
Yamamoto Isoroku pointed at the map and said.
Hearing this, the staff officer next to him immediately said: "But Shanhaiguan in front is obviously about to be attacked.
Wouldn¡¯t it be a shame to give up now? "
When he said this, he was also secretly thinking in his heart, why Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto Isoroku has become so cautious now.
"If it were the former Isoroku Yamamoto, he would most likely have fought hard and concentrated all his efforts to attack Shanhaiguan.
As long as this place is captured, they can turn their attack around.
Yamamoto Isoroku glanced at him, and then said: "Noit's impossible to attack"
"Why do you say that? The enemy's defense line is obviously about to be breached."
The staff officer asked still puzzled.
Yamamoto Isoroku stretched out his finger, pointed at the sky and said: "In our daytime attack today, the enemy's bombers and fighter jets did not support the defenders in the city.
Don¡¯t you think something is a little strange? "
As soon as he said this, the Japanese staff officer immediately realized that, just as Yamamoto Isoroku said, their daytime attack did not suffer from the pressure of the enemy's air force.
On the contrary, their aviation units also had control of the air.
Of course, one of their formations of carrier-based aircraft was shot down by enemy anti-aircraft missiles when they tried to approach Shanhaiguan.
Therefore, the Japanese naval aviation had no choice but to land carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier deck again. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
