The attack by fighter jets and bombers just now caused a rock wall where they were to collapse. Although Kameda Jiro and the others were not crushed, the soldier became a victim.
On the front of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, after cheering for victory, began to consolidate their defensive positions and deployed more machine gun firepower on the front.
In addition, because it was already the afternoon and the fall of night was only a few hours later, they also placed infrared night vision devices ahead.
In this way, they were able to discover the movements of the Japanese army at this time in the darkness.
Those Japanese soldiers have not yet realized that even if night comes, they will not be able to break out from here.
On the contrary, in order to boost the morale of the desperate soldiers, the commanders began to use various methods to make them believe that as long as they waited for the night to fall, they would have a chance to escape from here.
I asked Ichiro and Kameda Jiro to report the situation they encountered at this time to Meijiro Xiangzu via telegram.
"Our fighter plane was shot down by an enemy fighter plane in the air. At the same time, enemy fighter planes and bomber groups carried out intensive bombing on our army. However, our army suffered heavy losses. If possible, please send at least one brigade of troops to come. Coordinate our army's breakout."
This was their last request, even though this request was not agreed to by Meijiro Xiangzu.
After seeing this telegram, Mijiro Kazu did not feel powerless because the two divisions were unable to break out. On the contrary, the dozens of fighter jets sent out were all wiped out by the enemy in a short period of time. He felt deep despair.
As for the information conveniently conveyed to him by the aviation force, none of the dozens of elite fighter jets and dozens of elite pilots from the naval aviation force they dispatched this time have returned home.
This shows that these people have been completely wiped out, and the enemy fighters that destroyed them do not have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, but they wiped out all their elite fighters with almost no effort.
It¡¯s easy to imagine the mental impact this had on Meijiro Xiangzu.
¡°At least, he now understands the reality that there is an irreparable gap between their fighter planes and their enemies in terms of performance.
Because of this gap, in terms of air force, they have fallen behind the enemy in all aspects and completely lost air superiority.
Thinking of this, Meijiro Xiangzu subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky above his head.
If this is the case, then one situation he has to consider now is that the enemy's air power will bombard their rear.
Their warehouses, factories, and even ammunition depots in Shenyang and Changchun will all become enemy bombing targets.
This will be a more fatal blow to them.
It¡¯s just that the enemy¡¯s air forces are busy dealing with them now, so the situation is not too bad.
¡°If in the future, the enemy¡¯s air power is freed up to bomb their important targets, how should they respond?
The more he thought about it, the more despair he felt.
Is it possible that the end of the Japanese Empire is really coming?
¡°He could even see that day coming with his own eyes.
For a soldier, this is undoubtedly the most cruel thing.
In the telegram reply to Ichiro and Jiro Kameda, Yoshijiro Kazu stated that they were unable to send ground troops to respond. He hoped that they could take advantage of the enemy's vulnerabilities to disperse and break out in search of a glimmer of hope. He wished them good military fortune.
To put it simply, the current Meijiro Xiangzu has completely given up on the Japanese troops who were besieged in the mountains.
Now, although the two divisions of the Japanese army are still two divisions in name, their combined strength is actually less than 30,000.
In the next few days, they will experience deeper despair.
Before night fell, the air forces of the Fourth Army bombed them, but they did not stop after the Japanese fighter planes were wiped out.
On the contrary, in order to annihilate this Japanese army faster and facilitate the two brigades of the Eighth Route Army and the Kagel Combat Division to enter the Jinzhou area and assist the Eighth Route Army in combat, Xia Yang issued an order to have the air forces at the nearby airport respond to the attack. The Japanese troops carried out repeated bombings.
From three o'clock in the afternoon until about five o'clock in the evening, the bombings were carried out one after another.It took three rounds.
The number of Japanese soldiers killed and wounded by aerial bombs and incendiary bombs exceeded 1,500.
???????????? Many others were slightly injured and could barely continue to fight.
Just when the two Japanese divisions were completely surrounded, at this time in the other direction, at the Tashan defense line, several Japanese divisions were also besieged.
Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops have been trapped in a narrow area.
On a high ground more than ten kilometers away from Shanhaiguan, the main force of the Fourth Army was violently attacking the Japanese defense line.
At this time, the two mixed brigades left behind by the Japanese army had tried their best to push back the first wave of attacks by the Fourth Army.
However, their casualties had exceeded one-third. Under the fierce artillery bombardment of the Fourth Army, these Japanese troops had no power to fight back.
In order to stop the advance of the Fourth Army, these Japanese soldiers could only use their own flesh and blood, using human bombs and other methods to block the charging tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army, as well as the soldiers who had no end in sight.
Xia Yang was not in a hurry, and told the soldiers not to rush for success, as long as they could break through the Japanese defense line before dark.
The reason for doing this is to reduce their casualties. A considerable number of these soldiers are veterans who have fought for many years. If they were lost in the battle, it would be quite a huge loss to Xia Yang. loss.
Of course, in such a war, many recruits have begun to get tempered.
¡°At least, many recruits no longer only know how to charge indiscriminately, but have begun to obey the orders of their own commanders and use the combat knowledge they usually learn on the training ground to fight against the Japanese army.
When the Fourth Army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese rear defense line, the Japanese army on the front launched the first round of fierce attack on the Eighth Route Army's Tashan defense line.
They are in order to break through the enemy's defense line in the shortest possible time. The two most elite armored divisions were directly thrown into the front of the battlefield. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
