As for the Japanese army, they were enjoying themselves secretly.
They did not express any views or opinions, but were actively preparing for war and dispatching large quantities of military supplies and soldiers to the front line.
After the Eighth Route Army marched into the Beiping area, they began to dispatch three reorganized divisions and two cavalry divisions from the puppet Manchukuo directly to the Liaoning area.
With just one order, their hundreds of thousands of troops will swarm towards the Shanhaiguan area.
Seemingly aware of the Japanese army's conspiracy, Xia Yang attempted to dispatch troops to return to Shanhaiguan to aid.
But the railway to Shanhaiguan was directly destroyed by the Eighth Route Army troops at this time.
In response to this incident, the Fourth Army issued another statement expressing solemn protest.
Information such as this was quickly placed on the Kwantung Army's desk and in front of Guderian.
Looking at the information just translated into German, Guderian's eyes gradually lit up.
The opportunity, the opportunity he had been waiting for, finally arrived.
The railway was extensively damaged, and the troops that originally wanted to rush to Shanhaiguan were blocked in the Pingjin area and unable to move.
"This is the opportunity we have been waiting for. They have already realized that when our swords are unsheathed, we will slash at them.
But now, the sword they were trying to block was in the scabbard and could not be pulled out.
Order the armored troops to immediately take the train and head to the front line.
The day after tomorrow morning, before dawn, I hope they can launch the first round of attacks on the northern part of Shanhaiguan, highlands No. 1 and No. 2. "
Guderian¡¯s order was very decisive, without any tone of discussion.
Next to him, Meijiro Xiangzu wanted to say something, but he realized that at this time, Guderian had already made his own judgment. Even if he said something, he might not be able to listen.
Not only that, even Xiangzu Meijiro felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The current situation is that the top brass of the Fourth Army have clearly realized the huge threat posed by the Kwantung Army to them.
Therefore, they wanted to mobilize troops to strengthen the defense power of Shanhaiguan, which was being continuously reduced.
However, the Eighth Route Army is now obstructing them, preventing them from achieving this goal.
If so many troops are allowed to rush over on foot, then logistical supplies will become a big problem.
It¡¯s not just their logistical supply problems, even the troops originally in the Shanhaiguan area will have problems with their logistical supplies.
Because that railway line is their most important supply line.
The railway was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and they naturally lost the most important transportation line.
Using cars and trucks, or mules and horses for transportation, although they can also maintain their supply transportation on the front line.
But this is not a long-term solution.
This is an opportunity!
??Xiangzu Meijiro also knows it very well.
However, when it really came to this step, this step of counterattack, he hesitated.
This is also his biggest shortcoming as a senior officer, that is, he is too cautious, but it is easy to take advantage of many good fighters.
Guderian is very decisive. When he sees a fleeting opportunity, he will seize it without hesitation.
In the view of Meijiro Kazu, both Guderian and Yamamoto Isoroku belong to the same general.
They will gamble and take the maximum risk in order to obtain the maximum profit.
"okay, I get it."
??Xiangzu Yoshijiro nodded to Guderian and said, "I hope we can win the battle."
"Of course the victory will belong to us! There is no doubt about it."
Guderian said confidently, straightening his already meticulous clothes, and looking at Mijiro Xiangzu with a pair of extremely confident eyes.
It seems that he hopes that this very cautious Japanese commander can find some courage to take risks in his confident eyes.
"Okay! I will pass on the order, and then it will be up to the soldiers on the front line to see how they fight."
With that said, Xiangzu Meijiro took a deep breath, turned around, and began to convey the order.
The Japanese troops in the northern part of Shanhaiguan immediately started to attack after such an order from the street.??Enter combat status.
In fact, before they received this order, the division commanders of each division had already realized that fighting was likely to break out in the recent period.
On the one hand, because the weather is getting warmer and the snow is melting, their logistics will no longer become very difficult due to wind and snow problems.
On the other hand, it is because the conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army has expanded. At the same time, there is also important information. The railway from Peking to Shanhaiguan was extensively destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese intelligence department had not yet had time to confirm such news, but only obtained relevant information from news reports.
However, the fighter plane may only last a few days. If they waste time to confirm and collect evidence, they will undoubtedly delay the fighter plane and this fleeting fighter plane.
After receiving the order, the Japanese division commanders, the brigade commanders of the independent mixed brigades, and the division commanders of the puppet Manchurian army immediately began to take action.
The two armored divisions of the Japanese army took the greatest action.
They had already received Guderian¡¯s orders a week ago to prepare them for combat at any time.
Now, today, a week later, they finally received Guderian¡¯s order to attack.
At the Changchun Railway Station, the military train transporting them was ready, only waiting for their tanks, armored vehicles, and soldiers.
During the day, an hour after receiving the combat order, the first Japanese military train rumbled towards Shanhaiguan amid the noisy train whistle.
This time, the military train was pulling Japanese armored vehicles and tanks, like giant steel beasts, crawling on the iron plate of the train.
Some of these military columns carried countless weapons and ammunition, some carried Japanese soldiers with firm eyes, and some carried ferocious-looking tanks and armored vehicles.
They have only one destination, and that is Shanhaiguan, hundreds of kilometers away.
At this moment, the Japanese infantry units on the front line are also ready for battle.
As long as the two armored divisions of the Japanese army begin to dispatch, they will follow closely and supplement them in the rear.
When the two armored divisions of the Japanese army penetrate the enemy's defensive positions with sharp daggers, they will immediately follow up and completely occupy the enemy's positions. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
