Xia Yang was delighted by these words. He looked at Luo Xinghe and said, "Why, Master Luo doesn't want me to come."
Luo Xinghe said bluntly: "If you still take the same risk as last night, then I don't think it's just me who doesn't welcome your arrival. I'm afraid our entire Fourth Army will not welcome you."
Xia Yang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Hahaha, don't worry. The next time you come here, it will be time to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army."
¡°That¡¯s really great.¡±
Luo Xinghe gave a high-five and said, "Just wait, I'm afraid these little devils won't even be able to see the city wall of Shanhaiguan."
As he spoke, he patted his chest very confidently.
Looking at Luo Xinghe's somewhat thin body, Xia Yang joked: "Okay, Lao Luo, don't give yourself a heart attack. With a small body like yours, you really should take good care of yourself!"
With that said, he asked the driver to start the truck.
Amid the low roar of the engines, their truck convoy, like a long queue, drove towards Shanhaiguan.
Luo Xinghe watched Xia Yang and his team's convoy getting further and further away, then he took a deep breath, then turned around and said, "Tell the brothers to prepare for battle. I'm afraid the Japs' attack will begin soon."
As he was speaking, the soldiers in the Japanese camp were indeed making preparations for the battle.
In the Japanese military headquarters, Guderian was looking at the prepared terrain map.
This topographic map shows the situation of two highlands, 4033 and 4032.
Xiangzu Meijiro also stood beside him, staring at the map.
Finally, Guderian suddenly yawned and said aloud: "Did you see it? The enemy's two positions rely on each other, like two gates, blocking our way.
This side is the ocean, and this side is the mountains. If our armored forces want to continue to advance, these two highlands must be captured. "
With that said, he turned his head, looked at Xiangzu Yoshijiro next to him and said: "What do you thinkhow should we fight this battle? General Xiangzu Yoshijiro."
At this time, Meijiro Xiangzu who was standing next to him chuckled and said: "How to fight depends on you, General Guderian. After all, you are the commander-in-chief of this battle.
"Don't worry, I won't overstep my command. Just let your hands and feet go." "
Guderian chuckled and said: "How else can we fight this battle? Our armored forces must ensure sufficient offensive intensity at the front.
At the same time, on the flank of my enemy, I hope that our naval forces, as well as our army forces, can circle back to their flanks and rear.
I know that the enemy's defensive forces rely heavily on their artillery support from the rear.
"If we can cut off the enemy's artillery support and make this enemy almost isolated and helpless, then this battle will be much easier to fight.
I plan to use about three days to capture these two highlands where the enemy is stationed. "
Hearing this, Xiangzu Yoshijiro next to him said: "Before, you said that you would push the troops under the Shanhaiguan city wall in two days."
"Yes, I said that before, but I underestimated the tenacity of this enemy. Now it seems that we cannot use the previous thinking model on the European battlefield to speculate on the behavior of these Chinese soldiers.
On the European battlefield, generally our battle damage rate exceeds 30%, and the troops need to be reorganized in the rear.
As a defender, our battle loss rate exceeds 50%, and we are basically unable to continue to hold our position.
But now it seems that the enemy's defensive forces are more tenacious than we thought before.
They have stronger willpower, and even if they face a real desperate situation, this enemy will continue to fight.
I have never encountered such a tenacious enemy before. I have to admit that their fighting will and military courage are worthy of my admiration! ! "
Guderian doesn¡¯t mind acknowledging the excellence of his opponents, because only such opponents will give him a stronger sense of accomplishment when defeating them.
??Xiangzu Meijiro said: "That's it. If that's the case, then you can do what you said.
Our landing troops at the port have long been ready to go. With just one order, they can choose to land on the enemy's flank and rear. "
 "We need an infantry division to land here on a landing ship, and at least two infantry brigades to circle back to the enemy's rear from the side mountains.
After arriving in this area, they need to build a defense line to prevent the enemy troops accumulated in Shanhaiguan from instructing the enemies in these two highlands. "
Guderian¡¯s combat ideas were very clear, allowing the soldiers of the Fourth Army in the two highlands of 4033 and 4032 to become isolated troops.
They will not only lose artillery support, but also all kinds of material support.
The only one who can support them is the air force of the Fourth Army.
In order to deal with the large-scale air force operations of the four armies, Guderian also formulated corresponding countermeasures.
He not only mobilized more anti-aircraft artillery firepower, but also allowed Yoshijiro Kozu not to be stingy with their aviation units. He only needed to attack fiercely and fight fiercely with the air force of the Fourth Army.
However, Yoshijiro Xiangzu has reservations about his suggestion.
Although their fighter planes have been upgraded, Yoshijiro Kozu does not have enough confidence in the face of the Fourth Army's fighter planes and anti-aircraft firepower.
Not only that, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Fourth Army is also a big trouble.
Their anti-aircraft missiles are not only powerful, but can also be tracked. This is what the aviation forces are most worried about. In many cases, they will even refuse the Army's request and not fly missions.
The two armored divisions of the Japanese army are still the vanguard of the attack.
However, this time there were some changes in their offensive formation.
Guderian discovered that the enemy's anti-tank firepower was more powerful than they imagined, and it was not a wise move to use tanks to charge.
Especially since the enemy has complete defenses, their tanks cannot fully play their original role when attacking.
In addition, the two defensive positions are on high ground, so it is better to use infantry to advance.
Therefore, in this attack, the proportion of infantry has been greatly increased, while the proportion of armored vehicles and tanks has been greatly reduced.
After some thought, Meijiro Xiangzu planned to put the newly formed Japanese divisions into the first round of attack. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
