"Compared with the lifeless Japanese positions at this time, the positions of the Fourth Army opposite can be said to be full of vitality.
Lily Ogawa thought that at this moment, maybe Xia Yang was also on the opposite position, observing their position.
She was even lucky enough to wonder if she would see that man.
But after observing here for a long time, she only saw the occasional figure passing by on the opposite position, and there was no trace of the man at all.
"Sir, we have received the latest information. The enemy's armored division has arrived on the opposite side last night.
If nothing else happens, the enemy may launch a general attack on us today. "
The staff officer behind her reminded her in a low voice.
Lily Ogawa stood up and said: "Tell the soldiers to prepare for battle.
As your commander, I will fight side by side with you until the end. "
"Yes, sir!!"
He responded loudly and began to pass on Lily Ogawa's orders.
At this time, another Japanese staff officer said: "Sir, this is too close to the enemy's position. Let's go to the headquarters in the rear."
Hearing this, Lily Ogawa turned her head with some reluctance and approached the high-power telescope again.
Through the telescope, she once again saw the enemy position opposite.
But there was only rising smoke, dense barbed wire like thorns, and stacked sandbags.
So, Lily Ogawa gave up her last fantasy and turned around to leave.
The attack against the Japanese army was launched half an hour later.
The Fourth Army concentrated four regiments of artillery, as well as more than two hundred fighter jets and bombers, to carry out fierce bombing against the Japanese army.
In an instant, the Japanese army's forward position was covered by artillery fire.
Countless Japanese soldiers were killed by various bombs, burned to death, shocked to death, and even suffocated to death.
Napalm bombs, high-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, white phosphorus bombs, thermobaric bombs and other bombs appeared one after another, using the Japanese army's defensive positions as a shooting range for them to experiment with the power of various ammunition.
Such a violent bombing was incomparable to the bombardment the Japanese army had encountered before.
Many Japanese soldiers who survived until now were turned into pieces under such fierce bombardment.
More Japanese soldiers huddled in the air-raid shelter, listening to the roar of artillery outside, and with trembling fingers, they wrote a suicide note to their families.
Xia Yang stood on the front line with cold eyes, using a telescope to look at the Japanese position shrouded in explosions, with no expression on his face.
Such a long battle is finally coming to an end.
After killing the Japanese troops in Shanhaiguan and Pingjin areas, their troops simply rested and then went south to attack the last tens of thousands of Japanese troops in North China.
That is the North China Expeditionary Force led by Okamura Neiji. In the continuous battles, it has grown from more than 300,000 people to less than 100,000 people now.
The key point is that the Japanese ammunition has been almost exhausted.
They have been able to hold on until now simply because Xia Yang's main force was contained in the Shanhaiguan and Pingjin areas.
The Eighth Route Army is busy purging the remaining Japanese forces in the areas that have been recovered. At the same time, it lacks sufficient offensive weapons, which is why this Japanese army has been surviving until now.
While he was thinking about his next plan, the artillery fire and bombing on the Japanese defensive positions had gradually stopped.
The battlefield where the fog had just dissipated was now shrouded in smoke.
Seeing that the bombardment was over, Xia Yang picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "The general attack begins!!"
In his cold and firm voice, the cavalry division, the garrison division, the troops supported by the Eighth Route Army, and the armored division launched an all-out attack at this time and launched a general attack on the remaining Japanese troops.
Amidst the roar, the roar of engines, the intensive gunfire, and the surging heartbeat, their general attack on the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area finally launched.
In the Shanhaiguan area, the main force of the Japanese army has been divided into three parts.
Although the Armored Division has withdrawn, the existing armored units of the Fourth Division and the two tank regiments that remained behind still provided them with a very reliable offensive force.
? ?With the addition of three howitzer regiments and a mountain artillery regiment, the fire support provided to them made the Fourth Division and the Airborne Division even more powerful.
A large number of infantrymen, under the cover of artillery fire, once again launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army, lacking ammunition and logistical supplies, had even exhausted its mortar shells, and could only rely on light weapons such as rifles and machine guns to block the ferocious advancement of the Fourth Division and the Airborne Division.
Yamamoto Isoroku stood in his dilapidated headquarters, looking at the telegrams in front of him, stacked like snowflakes.
But he no longer had the intention to look.
The content of those telegrams basically repeated a few words.
"The position is lost"
"Need reinforcements"
"Whether to retreat"
"Enemy breakthrough"
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
He has seen these words too many times.
There were nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers in the four divisions. In just a few days of fighting, two-thirds were consumed, leaving only more than 35,000 people.
If it were on other battlefields, with such a high casualty rate, the troops would have already scattered and withdrawn from the battle.
But now, they are besieged here, and they have no direction to break out.
You can¡¯t just jump into the sea behind and swim with the sharks.
So these Japanese troops could only fight to the death, or they could be smarter and choose to surrender.
During this day¡¯s attack, not a few Japanese troops surrendered to the Fourth Army.
Some Japanese troops and even entire positions surrendered to the attacking Fourth Army troops.
Before the attacking troops of the Fourth Division rushed to the position, they saw the Japanese soldiers covered in blood, as if they were fished out of bloody water, standing on the position with trembling hands raised.
Beside them, there were branches stuck on the ground, with white flags fluttering in the wind at the top of the branches.
This made the Fourth Division¡¯s advancement today extremely smooth.
In fact, many positions of the Japanese army have been turned into dead places due to continuous bombing.
Many Japanese soldiers fled overnight and left their defensive positions.
On the entire position, except for the craters left by the artillery shells of the Fourth Army, there were corpses and supplies abandoned by the Japanese army.
Until about four o'clock in the afternoon, the Fourth Division eliminated more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers and captured 2,000 Japanese soldiers.
There are less than 20,000 Japanese troops left. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
