In addition, the Japanese army also mobilized enough artillery to conduct a covering bombardment of the Eighth Route Army troops on the Tashan position.
Not only the Tashan defense line, but also the Qilihe line, a mixed brigade of the Japanese army has also arrived here and launched a tentative attack on the Qilihe defense line.
Behind the Japanese division, there was also a cavalry division and an infantry division from the puppet Manchukuo, approaching them.
Originally, Yoshijiro Kozu planned to use a division stationed in Jinzhou City to launch an attack on the Qilihe defense line.
But he received another piece of information. There were traces of large enemy troop movements near the railway line from Jinzhou to Shenyang.
Such a piece of information made Xiangzu Yoshijiro alert.
He suspected that the enemy also had a large number of troops in the Jinzhou area.
If this is the case, then if he transfers the divisions from Jinzhou City, it is very likely that the enemy will turn their spearhead and attack Jinzhou City.
Until sufficient information is obtained, the Japanese division can only be led honestly in Jinzhou City to consolidate the surrounding defense lines.
At three o'clock that afternoon, he received another piece of information, that is, Mount Putuo, northwest of Jinzhou City, was attacked by the enemy.
A Japanese squadron stationed there was wiped out by the enemy in a short period of time. The enemy then occupied Putuo Mountain and built a line of defense near the highway northeast of Putuo Mountain.
This news made Xiangzu Yoshijiro¡¯s previous judgment even firmer.
The enemy really plans to use troops against Jinzhou, but now that he has a division, these enemies dare not act rashly.
After making these judgments, the Japanese army's attack on Qilihe could only be based on small-scale attacks and could not launch a large-scale offensive.
The Japanese army must mobilize several divisions from Changchun, Shenyang and other areas to launch a fierce attack on the Qilihe defense line.
At this moment, the two Japanese aircraft carrier formations are also galloping towards this side at full speed.
The reason for this is that on the one hand it is indeed an urgent military situation, and another very important reason is that at noon today, more than 30 of their outstanding naval aviation pilots were killed by the air forces of the Fourth Army.
In the telegram sent to the Navy Department, Yoshijiro Kozu also specifically asked his chief of staff, Sakon Shiya, to add fuel and jealousy to the Fourth Army¡¯s air force and eliminate Japanese pilots, so as to provoke the mood of the Navy Department.
It is precisely for these reasons that the two Japanese aircraft carrier formations began to rush to the battlefield non-stop.
If nothing else happens, they will be able to arrive tonight.
Guderian was responsible for commanding the offensive of two Japanese divisions.
The front of the battlefield of the Tashan Defense Line is only twelve kilometers at its narrowest point, but fortunately there is a smooth road nearby, which is very convenient for the deployment of their armored troops and offensive troops.
But in order to deal with their attack, the Eighth Route Army was also fully prepared.
The Fourth Army airdropped a large number of anti-tank artillery, anti-tank rocket launchers, sticky bombs, anti-tank mines and other weapons to them, specifically used to deal with the Japanese armored forces.
Such sufficient preparations for combat made the Eighth Route Army more confident in holding on to the Tashan defense line.
Guderian¡¯s eyes were gloomy, just like the sea in the distance.
He put down the telescope in his hand, exhaled a breath, and said in his cold and low tone: "The enemy's defense line is quite advanced.
The enemy commanders on the opposite side should have received professional training. Their firepower matching is very reasonable, and the positions of each position are also very well arranged. "
"Indeed, many commanders of the Eighth Route Army have rich practical experience. I am not surprised that they were able to build such a line of defense in less than a day."
"Xiangzu Meijiro said this and put down the telescope.
"Yes, this is a tough battle, and we have to fight it even if it is a tough battle."
Guderian said this, then waved his palm and said: "Get ready for bombardment. We should be able to launch about two rounds of attacks before dark."
When he said this, he already acquiesced that the first round of attack could not penetrate the enemy's defense line.
Even if they launch the second round of attack, it is unrealistic and empty talk for them to penetrate the enemy's defense line.
But you always have to give it a try. Guderian didn¡¯t know as much about the Eighth Route Army as Yoshijiro Kozu did.??
However, since Meijiro Xiangzu can give such a high evaluation to this group of Eighth Route Army guerrillas, it means that this enemy is also an opponent worthy of his vigilance.
Now that he saw the various positions and firepower arrangements of the Eighth Route Army on the Tashan defense line opposite, he became even more convinced of this.
The enemy army on the opposite side is also a difficult army to deal with.
After the order was issued, the Japanese scouts who marked military targets in the front immediately retreated to the rear.
And the Japanese artillery positions, whether they are mountain artillery, field artillery, heavy howitzers, and mortars, have begun to adjust their firing positions, intending to launch a violent bombing of the Eighth Route Army on the Tashan defense line.
Li Yunlong was in the command post at the rear, and the staff officers coming and going were reporting on the situation at the front.
"The Japanese artillery scouts have retreated, and their artillery bombardment should arrive soon."
As Ding Wei spoke, he marked on the map with a pencil and said: "Have you seen this highland in the central defense line of Tashan? I can guarantee that the Japs will storm here, and they must take it down. , our defense line would be easily penetrated by the Japanese army."
Li Yunlong said at this time: "I will take the people and hold on here personally. Aren't they just the little Japanese's armored division? I will still have to tear off a piece of flesh."
The troops stationed on this high ground are indeed the troops of the independent regiment.
Li Yunlong's troops have always been able to fight tough battles, and the morale of the soldiers is the highest. Moreover, in terms of weapons and equipment, they are also the best among the three regiments.
Therefore, when the defense line was being built, Li Yunlong took the initiative to place their independent regiment in this position, while the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment were deployed on both wings.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie have no objections. They are both old comrades who have fought together for many years. They know each other so well that in many cases, a look is enough.
"Okay, Lao Li, please pay attention to your safety."
Ding Wei said.
"Then our capable Ding will sit in the rear and command the entire defense line properly."
Li Yunlong said half-jokingly, then called Monk Wei and walked outside.
Kong Jie also put on his helmet at this time and said: "Okay, I will bring our mobile troops to replenish various positions at any time."
