Therefore, when they go to the rear to rest, they not only need to conduct training, but also boost their morale. The most important thing is to resupply weapons and supplies.
As for the troops in Jinzhou City, they were the elite Japanese Kwantung Army transferred from the rear.
There are also many of them, and there are many soldiers among them. They are some retired veterans who have been recruited. They not only have rich combat experience, but also have very superb marksmanship and other combat skills.
They will be the main combat force stationed in Jinzhou City.
Guderian was responsible for going to the rear area to train the troops, while Yoshijiro Kozu was based in Jinzhou City and was responsible for the defense here.
Since their troops began to retreat on a large scale from Shanhaiguan, Xiangzu Yoshijiro has been dispatching troops to Jinzhou City.
Their defensive strength in Jinzhou City has also increased from 40,000 to 50,000 to over 100,000 now.
Not only Jinzhou City, but also several cities around Jinzhou City have Japanese troops hoarding.
If these troops who can support Jinzhou City at any time are included, the Japanese army's strength around Jinzhou City will exceed 150,000.
Inside the headquarters in Jinzhou City, the atmosphere was oppressive and tense.
Although they are still increasing troops to Jinzhou City, these greatly increased troops have not brought any sense of security to the Japanese commanders here.
On the contrary, the more senior officials send more troops to Jinzhou City, the more terrifying they will feel the enemy forces on the opposite side.
¡°The speed at which the enemy captured Huludao far exceeded our imagination.
We originally thought that with the strength of more than 10,000 troops and the discoveries made on the outside, they could hold on for at least two days.
As a result, under the enemy's fierce attack, they only persisted for one night. By daybreak, they had already begun to retreat across the board. "
Sakonzhi also said, his eyes very solemn.
Before Yoshijiro Kazu arrived here, Sakonshiya had been responsible for the defense here.
He was very cautious and built densely packed and countless blocking positions outside Jinzhou City, as well as a total of three lines of defense inside and outside.
The reason why the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army did not continue to advance vigorously after conquering Huludao was because they found that the enemy forces in Jinzhou City were strong and well-defended. If they were not prepared to attack by force, they would not be able to take advantage at all, let alone Jinzhou City was captured.
Hearing what he said, Meijiro Xiangzu said with a gloomy look: "In this kind of pursuit battle, the enemy's burst of power is more powerful than we imagined.
If nothing else, most of the more than 40,000 people in Konoha Qingming were wiped out in just two days, and the rest simply chose to surrender. "
Hearing these words, Sakonzhi said viciously: "This Konoha Kiyomei, I thought he was a person who was not strong-willed before, but now I see that he is indeed the case.
As a samurai of the Imperial Japanese Army, he actually led his soldiers to surrender to the enemy. He should commit seppuku and die in the way given to the samurai, instead of surrendering in exchange for a temporary survival. . "
?Compared to Sakon Shiya, Xiangzu Yoshijiro is not that angry.
He was actually a little lucky, because if the original enemy had not chosen to besiege Konoha Qingming, but had instead chosen to besiege the troops he led, then it was still unknown where he was now.
¡°Perhaps, he had committed suicide, and all his soldiers were wiped out by the enemy¡¯s troops on the rugged mountain road.
To a certain extent, Konoha Kiyomei failed on his and Guderian's behalf.
Although he was very surprised by Konoha Kiyoaki's surrender, considering the embarrassing appearance of the Japanese army at the time, this surrender was not actually very surprising.
After all, in the previous North China Campaign, their troops had already surrendered in organized form.
Compared with the Japanese soldiers at the beginning of the war, the combat effectiveness and willpower of the Japanese soldiers and commanders who are now joining the army are incomparable.
¡°This war has taken a huge toll on our outstanding commanders and soldiers. Compared with the early days of the war, both commanders and soldiers¡¯ combat will and combat capabilities have declined.
On the contrary, our enemies are not only becoming more numerous as we fight, but their combat effectiveness and will to fight are also becoming stronger and stronger. "
With this emotion, Meijiro Xiangzu changed the topic to the defense of their current city.
 "Speaking of which, our next focus is on the defense of Jinzhou City.
The enemy has a large number of reconnaissance troops outside Jinzhou City.
I speculate that they will take a rest for half a month at most, or even a week, before launching a second round of attack on us. "
Sakonzhi also said with deep approval: "I also think so. The enemy's previous offensives were very fast and violent. The reason why they stopped this time is that on the one hand, our defense outside Jinzhou City is strong enough, and on the other hand, it is very Maybe their soldiers were very tired from fighting continuously.
There is another major possibility that the enemy is also mobilizing more troops. We plan to open the door to the Northeast region.
Jinzhou City will become our Shura Field, and it will also become their Shura Field. "
For both sides, this is a foreseeable and tragic battle.
"How do you think we should defend ourselves?"
?? asked Meijiro Xiangzu.
Sakonshi is also one of the people he trusts the most. This person's tactical level is also relatively high, so if he has any questions, he will ask Sakonshi first.
Sakonzhi also looked at the map and said after a while: "The staff headquarters seems to be formulating a bold plan.
They sent a telegram directly before, asking us to defend Jinzhou City to buy some time for their plan to develop. "
"what's the plan?"
Some time ago, Sakon Shiya, who had been organizing the troops to retreat, was not aware of this situation.
Sakonzhi also said at this time: "I'm not sure, but it seems to be related to the landing operation."
Hearing these four words, Xiangzu Meijiro already had a rough idea in his mind.
"I see, I understand. I probably know what the General Staff Headquarters' plan is."
??Xiangzu Meijiro said.
He has made many deductions about the direction of the battle.
Among them, most of the deductions ended in failure.
However, among the many failed outcomes, there is a way to win, and once they adopt this combat method, their probability of winning is even very high. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
