With that said, Meijiro Xiangzu turned around and looked behind.
Behind him, there was something that worried him even more.
The main force of the Fourth Army is approaching them at a rapid speed.
If the enemy is able to break through their defenses and launch a fierce attack on them before tomorrow morning, the situation will become worse.
However, the battle situation is not without any possibility of turning around, and this turning point comes from the sea.
On the Bohai Sea, their aircraft carrier formation is about to arrive.
"If their aircraft carrier formation can arrive at the scheduled time, not only will they not have to worry about being wiped out by the enemy's troops at this place, it may even be possible for them to be able to counterattack the enemy.
After thinking about this clearly, Xiangzu Meijiro's initially flustered mood gradually calmed down.
It is not easy for the Japanese troops at the front to retreat.
Because the Eighth Route Army fighting them now has their eyes red with blood, like a group of evil wolves that saw a group of fleeing sheep, desperately chasing after them in the rear.
Along the way, the Japanese army dropped countless corpses. It was not until the pursuing troops of the Eighth Route Army were approaching their defense line that the Eighth Route Army retreated.
Li Yunlong was covered in blood, and the sword in his hand had already suffered many gaps in the fierce fighting with the Japanese army.
He placed the blood-stained sword on the ground with a snap, then took a deep breath and said, "Monk, get me a pot of water. I'm thirsty!"
Li Yunlong said this and sat down on the ground.
In the battle with the Japanese army just now, he chopped off the heads of four or five little Japanese soldiers in a row. In addition, he ran so far back and forth in pursuit. It is no wonder that he was so tired.
At this time, Monk Wei ran over, handed the kettle over and said, "Hey, Captain, I just saw it. You are so awesome. You chased three little devils, one by one with a knife."
Li Yunlong said: "Hey, even if you come from the Shaolin Temple, I, Old Li, can tell you that if we go to the battlefield, I will kill as many Japanese as you."
After saying that, he looked at Monk Wei and said, "Monk, how many have you killed?"
Monk Wei grinned and said, "I'm sorry, Commander, I didn't kill many, just seven or eight little devils."
"Get out!"
When Li Yunlong heard this number, he found that this boy had killed more little Japs than him. He immediately lost the interest in bragging and simply said two words from between his lips and teeth.
Monk Wei was very understanding. He nodded with a smile and walked to the other side.
After a while, Monk Wei ran over and said: "Report to the commander, Commander Ding asked you to go to the rear command post. The next round of the Japs' attack will probably take a while."
"Okay, I get it."
Li Yunlong said this, picked up the military cap on the ground, patted the dust off, picked up his broken sword, and walked towards the headquarters.
Night is slowly falling, and the armored units of the Fourth Army have begun to slowly meet in front of the Japanese front.
However, they were not in a hurry to launch an attack.
In the headquarters of the Fourth Army, Xia Yang listened to the information obtained from the Air Force reconnaissance plane.
"We found two Japanese aircraft carrier formations in the sea east of the Bohai Sea. They are not only equipped with a large number of cruisers, destroyers, and battleships, but also landing ships and armed transport ships specially used for transferring and transporting troops."
When Xia Yang heard these words, he fell into deep thought.
He took out his pencil and began to mark the area where the Japanese navy was located on the Bohai Sea.
"Probably in this area, if they advance at full speed, it will only take four or five hours to support their ground troops."
Wei Xing said at this time.
Xia Yang lit a cigarette, took a breath slowly, blew out a smoke ring and said: "Two aircraft carrier formations, stronger anti-aircraft firepower, the attackers are evil."
"How to respond? Should we let the troops in front temporarily retreat, and then wait until our heavy artillery troops arrive, and use artillery on land to force the Japanese fleet to retreat?"
Wei Xing asked.
Although their armored units advanced very quickly, the artillery, as supporting firepower, was still behind the infantry.
And their large-caliber howitzers only need to be deployed on the coastline.??It can only threaten the Japanese fleet.
Compared with the extended-range shells used by large-caliber howitzers, the shooting distance of the artillery on the Japanese battleships is also much shorter.
"No, not only can we not retreat, we must also maintain the offensive. The artillery unit is too slow and cannot arrive until dawn.
Tonight, if we don¡¯t put any pressure on the little devils, I¡¯m afraid the little devils are going to eat the Independent Group, the New First Group, and the New Second Group alive. "
Xia Yang said.
"Didn't we air-drop anti-tank weapons to them? Isn't it still difficult to fight?"
Wei Xing asked.
"It is difficult to fight. It can be said that it is very difficult to fight. The only place that can be defended is Tashan. But even in Tashan, it is difficult to find a high ground. There are flat fields everywhere. The tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils are very good. played.
The most important thing is that we can only support their firepower with the air force, but this support does not last long, and it is far inferior to the support of artillery firepower.
The Eighth Route Army fought very hard. Even if Li Yunlong didn't say it, I could guess it.
This guy likes to make a fool of himself. Since he has made up his mind to defend Tashan, even if they die down to the last person, they will never take a step back. "
Xia Yang said.
Tashan can be regarded as the most worthy of garrisoning in this area.
But even so, the terrain there is really bad. There is only one high ground where you can garrison, and the other places are extremely flat. The tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils can fully launch an attack.
It can be imagined how huge the defensive pressure these three regiments were experiencing at this time.
"It's not easy for them either, so let the armored troops in the front continue to attack, and our motorized infantry regiment will quickly follow up and tear apart the little Japanese's defense line."
Wei Xing seemed to have made up his mind.
??
It is impossible for the little devil to be careless about his head and tail. He must allocate his troops to defend the rear. "
At this time, Wei Xing thought of another key issue.
"Military seat, I have another question. What should I do with the little devil's aircraft carrier formation?"
Wei Xing asked at this time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
