Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On both sides of this isolation zone, both sides seem to be in peace.

    But as long as someone crosses or approaches this separation line, fierce confrontation and conflict will inevitably occur between the two sides.

    Not only that, the Japanese army also mobilized more troops and built many defensive positions and firepower points behind the first line of defense.

    They are increasing the depth of their strategy, and at the same time ensuring that after their first line of defense is lost, the troops behind them can immediately launch a counterattack to regain their lost position.

    As for the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, they are not idle now.

    Their excavation troops were still advancing forward non-stop. Under the harassment of the Japanese army, they were excavation at a very fast speed. Now that there was no harassment from the Japanese army, their excavation work was carried out more smoothly.

    But now that they were close to the Japanese defensive positions, their excavation became more detailed.

    In these places close to the Japanese positions, they not only needed to build more firepower points, but also built many anti-gun holes where their soldiers could hide.

    The purpose of these holes to prevent shelling is not to prevent Japanese shelling.

    On the contrary, they were set up to prevent being hit by our own artillery shells.

    Before the attack is launched, their artillery units will launch a fierce bombardment of the enemy's defensive positions as usual.

    But such bombing cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.

    In this way, there can be no soldiers in our own positions that are only about a hundred meters away from the enemy positions.

    After all, when a cannonball falls, it is normal for the error to be a few hundred meters. If it accidentally injures one of your own people, it will be more than worth the gain.

    In addition, another factor that needs to be considered is the suddenness of their attack.

    If they can use these shell-proof holes to hide enough soldiers, then they can maintain their own great surprise when attacking.

    The Japanese troops may not have thought that as soon as the shelling of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side ended, there would be soldiers rushing out from the smoke that had not yet dissipated.

    This is the first wave of offensive force of the Eighth Route Army.

    After their first wave of attacks are launched, the subsequent Eighth Route Army will immediately follow the communication trenches left by them and kill the Japanese army.

    In this way, as long as their first wave of offensive troops can wait until the reserve troops arrive, then they are likely to tear a gap in the Japanese army's first line of defense.

    In order to complete such a combat plan, Li Yunlong and the others specially found a 155-caliber artillery for testing in the afternoon.

    One thing they need to ensure is that when their artillery shells fall, they cannot destroy the tunnels dug by their soldiers to protect themselves.

    After all, if these tunnels cannot withstand our own artillery shells, then when their artillery shells fall, they are likely to cause damage to the Eighth Route Army soldiers who are very close to the Japanese positions.

    This is something no one wants to see.

    However, if they want to withstand the 155-caliber artillery, they will have higher requirements for their excavation work.

    "To withstand the 155-caliber artillery, certain engineering standards are required, and if they want to meet this engineering standard, their digging speed has to be reduced.

    It is precisely because of this that the closer they get to the Japanese defensive positions, the slower their excavation will become.

    Seeing that their excavation speed had slowed down, the Japanese army thought that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was getting tired. They even took advantage of the enemy on the opposite side to launch a charge when they were exhausted. Maybe they could push the enemy troops back.

    But such a proposal was quickly rejected by Meijiro Xiangzu.

    He has lost the confidence to continue attacking, and at the same time he feels that there is no need for it.

    If they continue to delay here for three or four days, their landing force should launch a sufficiently violent attack in the enemy's rear.

    It was also when Li Yunlong's independent regiment approached the Japanese position by digging tunnels, the Japanese intelligence agency got an important piece of information.

    That is, the troops of the Fourth Army in the Pingjin area have been transferred again.

    There are probably tens of thousands of soldiers heading to the Shanhaiguan area by train.

    This information made Xiangzu Yoshijiro overjoyed. He knew that the enemy must be planning to attack Jinzhoudirection, strengthen the offensive, and then continue to draw the few remaining troops from their rear.

    As a result, although their troops in the direction of Jinzhou will become larger in number, their troops stationed in the rear will inevitably decrease.

    If the enemy mobilizes troops from the Shanxi area, it will also take a lot of time.

    Using this period of time, their troops will be enough to carry out many activities here.

    Their troops landing behind the enemy can break through the enemy's coastal defense positions, and at the same time they can surround the two major cities of Tianjin and Peiping, or even go directly north to attack from both sides.

    There are still a few days left, and he must hold on to these few days.

    With this idea in mind, there is nothing wrong with Yoshijiro Kozu adopting a more conservative strategy.

    However, what he didn¡¯t know was that after entering Shanhaiguan, the soldiers who took the train changed into casual clothes, disguised themselves as ordinary people, and took the train in batches back to Beiping City.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It seems that there is a steady stream of troops being transferred away from Beiping and Tianjin areas by Xia Yang, but in fact, the military strength here has not been reduced at all.

    On the contrary, using this period of time, Qin Shiming even transferred some of his troops that had been damaged in previous battles directly back to the rear for rest.

    ??Xiangjin Meijiro has not yet realized that he has entered the trap carefully prepared for him by Xia Yang and the Eighth Route Army.

    The night gradually fell, and the game between the two sides continued.

    The Japanese fleet used the cover of darkness to move faster. In about two days, their troops could reach the Tianjin area directly.

    There were several good landing sites there, and what surprised them most was that the enemy did not have many troops in the coastal area.

    The information they received was that the enemy originally had many troops stationed in the coastal areas, but since the enemy began to launch an offensive in the Jinzhou area, the number of troops here has been decreasing day by day.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
