When Duan Peng heard this, he suddenly realized: "That's it, I'm just anxious to kill the little devil, you see."
As he spoke, he touched his head in embarrassment.
Zhao Gang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Sometimes, annihilating the enemy as quickly as possible may not be the best combat plan. Think more and look more. In fact, there are many options for fighting."
As he was talking, there was an explosion.
The Fourth Army launched another attack on the Japanese army. They were consuming the Japanese army's ammunition and also consuming the Japanese army's morale.
This kind of attack launched by the Fourth Army is like brown candy, sticking to the Japanese army.
As long as the Japanese army stops resisting for a moment, they will rush forward like a tide. If the Japanese army starts to resist, the troops of the Fourth Army will hide and use the smallest losses in exchange for the maximum consumption of Japanese ammunition.
Zhao Gang picked up the telescope, looked at the area illuminated by the flares, and said: "The commanders of the Fourth Army are also very smart. They have been torturing the little devils below. Our Eighth Route Army cannot fall behind. You lead a team People, throw some grenades at the little devils below and try to consume some more of their ammunition and personnel."
When Duan Peng heard this, he was filled with joy and said, "Okay, I'll take the people there right now."
After saying that, he happily led his soldiers and rushed towards the edge of the hillside.
The Japanese soldiers below have been tortured repeatedly for a whole day.
Their soldiers were extremely tired. This fatigue was not only physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue.
The Japanese commanders still dare not tell the soldiers at the bottom that they have lost the troops to assist them.
On the contrary, the Japanese commander told the soldiers at the bottom that their reinforcements would arrive here after dawn. Let your soldiers hold on as long as possible.
The soldiers relied on such lies to support the battle with difficulty.
But they didn¡¯t know that at this moment, the Japanese troops who were supposed to be their reinforcements were on their way to flee.
The troops of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were chasing and intercepting the Japanese troops in this endless mountain range, hoping to kill them all here.
Time passed little by little, just as quickly as the Japanese troops were wiped out.
This night seemed particularly long, not only for the Japanese army, but also for the soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army who encircled and suppressed them.
On the Bohai Sea, the waves of the sea have submerged everything.
The two Japanese aircraft carrier formations both chose to retreat near Dalian Port.
They suffered heavy losses in the battle last night.
The air force of the Fourth Army demonstrated to these Japanese troops the power of the air power of the Fourth Army.
Three Japanese cruisers, five destroyers, and one battleship were sunk, as well as five armed transport ships. One aircraft carrier was almost scrapped and could only drag its damaged body, barely surviving behind other Japanese warships. Under cover, retreat to Dalian Port.
Hojo Seiji was in the command room of the aircraft carrier, his eyes extremely gloomy.
Beside him, Nitta Joichi¡¯s eyes looked the same.
Behind the two men were a large number of wounded Japanese soldiers, who were wailing and groaning. There were Japanese soldiers walking back and forth among the wounded, changing their bandages, or comforting some of the wounded who had woken up from nightmares. mood.
The hospital on their aircraft carrier is already full of wounded, and now they can only temporarily arrange the excess wounded to the command headquarters.
"The losses have been reported. The number of dead and missing people in our army has exceeded 2,000. More than 50 carrier-based aircraft have been lost. A total of 14 ships of various types have been lost. Our aircraft carrier Akagi has also been seriously damaged. Basically lost its combat capability."
As soon as Nittacheng read the report roughly, he lit a cigarette with some boredom and smoked it one puff at a time.
Hojo Seiji seemed to have been hit hard.
He has received information from Meijiro Kazu, indicating that a large number of their troops entered the mountainous areas overnight and dispersed to break out.
At the same time, Yoshijiro Kozu also expressed his gratitude to Seiji Hojo and everyone in the Navy in the telegram.
"Without your support, the enemy's air power may all be poured into our formation."
This is what Meijiro Xiangzu thinks. The only role played by the aircraft carrier formation here is to help attract the air power of the Fourth Army.
Otherwise, during their retreat last night, we don¡¯t know how many people would have been killed by the enemy¡¯s air force.Exploded to death.
From this telegram, Hojo Seiji did not read any praise. Instead, it seemed as if he heard Yoshijiro Kazu saying in his ear that you people in the Navy are a bunch of trash.
But Seiji Hojo didn¡¯t say much. He even felt that their failure and Yoshijiro Kazu¡¯s not scolding their naval incompetence in the telegram was a great honor.
¡°Such a huge loss is unprecedented.¡±
Hojo Seiji said, ¡°We underestimated the enemy¡¯s air power and overestimated our own power.
Under the enemy¡¯s air power, although our fleet¡¯s air defense force played some role, it still could not prevent ships from being destroyed and carrier-based aircraft being shot down. "
Hojo Seiji finally spoke.
His chief of staff Nittajo glanced at him, said nothing, and just handed over the cigarette in his hand.
Hojo Seiji took the cigarette and took a long puff. The feeling of fatigue lingering in his body and brain was also dispelled.
"At least, we attracted the enemy's air firepower, which can be regarded as covering the retreat of the army troops."
Nitta Joichi said with some self-comfort.
Hojo Seiji chuckled lightly, handed over the telegram from Yoshijiro Kazu and said: "What a coincidence. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Yoshijiro Kazu, thought so too. Do you think he was humiliating us when he said this in the telegram, or was he trying to Thank us?"
After receiving the telegram, Nitta Castle took one look at it and tore it into pieces hysterically.
"You bastard, you are looked down upon by these bastards from the Army Department!!!!"
As soon as Nittajo said this, he threw the torn telegram to the ground.
¡°What¡¯s the next step?¡±
After he calmed down the anger in his heart a little, he said.
Hojo Seiji said: "Send a telegram to the General Staff Headquarters and let them make the decision."
Japanese General Staff Headquarters, Hideki Tojo pushed down all the items on the table.
The bottle containing blue ink shattered with a crisp sound and turned into crystal fragments on the ground.
The flowing ink turned those documents and information into a deep blue, almost black color.
Several officers from the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters nearby lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
