    These transferred troops all took trains and went directly north to the area north of Shanhaiguan.

    It is obvious that the enemy's troops need to strengthen their offensive in the Jinzhou area during this period, so the troops originally used to defend the rear will inevitably be transferred away.

    This also gave the Japanese army more confidence to complete the landing in the Pingjin area.

    If everything goes well, they can directly cut off the enemy's railway line in the northeast of Pingjin after the landing is completed, blocking the enemy's transportation and supply routes.

    At that time, it is the time for both sides to truly decide the victory.

    After nightfall, the work of the Eighth Route Army continued. Their excavation was divided into multiple shifts until they could advance to a position more than 100 meters away from the enemy's position.

    At such a close distance, they can even see the enemy's heavy machine gun and light machine gun firepower points clearly with the naked eye, without even needing a telescope.

    The next morning, the Japanese army was also shocked by the scene in front of them.

    Directly in front of them were countless tunnels crisscrossing each other.

    Although these trenches look intricate, they always follow certain construction rules.

    Almost all trenches follow a zigzag pattern.

    In order to quickly transfer troops, they dug tunnels below that could pass soldiers.

    This project is larger, but their excavation speed is also very fast.  With the help of various construction machinery and detonators and other tools, they built a tunnel large enough for three people to pass side by side.

    This allows the reserve troops of the Eighth Route Army to enter the end of their trenches directly from the underground.

    On the front line, Duan Peng looked at the Japanese position opposite and found that the firepower points there had become more densely packed than during the day yesterday.

    "You little devil, this is a firepower point specially prepared for us."

    Duan Peng said.

    The monk on the side said: "The leader said, when you rush over with people later, be sure to pay attention to safety.

    You are a baby, you cannot be in any danger.  "

    "I still have a baby bump? I think you are the leader's favorite. Okay, monk, if nothing else, you have to treat me to a drink after this battle is over."

    Duan Peng said.

    "That's no problem. I wasn't willing to drink the wine the group leader gave me last time."

    The monk said and smiled, showing a row of neat teeth.

    Duan Peng nodded, patted him on the shoulder, turned around, and whispered to the soldiers: "Everyone, enter the tunnel fortifications immediately."

    "yes!!"

    At this time, on the joint artillery positions of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, a large number of artillery pieces were ready for final preparations before the battle.

    On the current position of the Japanese army, many firepower points and places that may be headquarters are focused on by their artillery.

    This is the artillery fire support they provide to the independent regiment. This time the artillery fire will be the most intensive and fierce since they started the war.

    In order to prepare for this bombardment, Xia Yang also transported several trainloads of artillery shells from the rear, specifically used to bomb the Japanese positions on the opposite side and cover the full charge of the independent regiment soldiers.

    Their attack this time was actually not complicated at all, it was just to break through the Japanese defense line on the front.  Clear the way for their subsequent attacks.

    The independent regiment is a sharp knife. Now this sharp knife needs to be used on the most difficult bone to split and break it.

    ??Xiangzu Meijiro had just finished breakfast, picked up the telescope, and looked at the Eighth Route Army position in the distance.

    It was eerily quiet there. There was no sound of detonators exploding, and there were no soldiers moving back and forth on the position.

    "What are they doing? Why are they so quiet?"

    Xiangzu Meijiro asked aloud.

    The Japanese staff officer on the side said: "We don't know that the enemy has stopped their excavation work since last night.

    In fact, they can no longer dig forward, because if they continue to move forward, our soldiers can even throw grenades directly into the enemy's trenches.  "

    "How far are they from our defensive positions now?"

    ?? asked Meijiro Xiangzu.

    The Japanese staff officer said: "There are less than two hundred meters left. If they launch a charge, the first wave of enemies will attack at full speed in less than a minute."In ? time, we can rush to our defensive position.  "

    "More than a hundred meters, so close? Didn't the commander at the front take any action or measures?"

    ?? asked Meijiro Xiangzu.

    "No, they have tried it before, but it has no effect. Apart from causing them to suffer some casualties, it cannot stop their excavation work.

    ¡°Moreover, when we cause casualties to them, the casualties on our side are often greater.  "

    Having said this, the Japanese staff officer couldn't help but sigh. The people on the other side really didn't play their cards according to the routine, which made them very difficult now.

    ¡°In order to cope with the enemy¡¯s approach, we can only try our best to transfer machine guns and other weapons from the rear to strengthen our frontal firepower configuration.

    In this way, even if the distance is less than two hundred meters, as long as we use a very powerful firepower network, we can still block the enemy's attack.  "

    His staff officer said at this time.

    But Yoshijiro Kazu's face was very solemn. He glanced at the staff officer, and then said: "Actually, you can also tell our troops on the second line of defense now to step up their defense and bury enough troops in front of the position.  Mines, in this way, we can also have a retreat barrier after the first line of defense is lost."

    When he heard this, he realized that the current situation might not be very good.

    ??????????? At least, according to Yoshijiro Xiangzu, it will probably take a lot of time for them to withstand this wave of attacks from the Eighth Route Army.

    It is precisely because of this that he said these words to himself and asked him to lead people to strengthen the defense of the rear.

    The first line of defense is certainly very important, but it is not yet indispensable.

    ?? If the first line of defense can be used to resist the enemy for several days, then for Yoshijiro Kozu, this is a victory at the strategic level.

    He does not need a battle victory, but a strategic victory to delay the enemy's advance, so that when their rear is attacked, they will lose sight of one thing.

    This is what Meijiro Xiangzu wants to see.

    And the time when such a thing happens is getting closer and closer to him.

    Duan Peng took the first wave of soldiers and planned to launch an attack.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
