The Japanese reinforcements mainly came from two directions. One direction came from Jinzhou City.
There is another direction, which comes from another city in the northeast.
The Japanese army has two brigades stationed there. Originally there was only one brigade, but recently it has become a material warehouse and cargo transshipment center for the Japanese army, and some additional troops have been deployed.
Therefore, as long as they deal with the reinforcements from these two directions, they can ensure that the Japanese railway line is completely cut off, and then build a strong line of defense along the way.
After arranging the defense line here, they can directly launch a fierce attack on Jinzhou City where the Japanese army is stationed.
In fact, when they begin to launch a fierce attack on the railway lines outside Jinzhou City, the Japanese troops in Jinzhou City will definitely be attracted to them.
By then, if the Japanese army in Jinzhou City can be encircled and rescued in the wild, it will also be a very effective way to annihilate the effective Japanese army.
After having these battle plans in mind, the Eighth Route Army, under the leadership of Brigadier Chen, directly launched an attack on the Japanese army.
The time of their attack was offset by one hour from the time of attack launched by the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army in front.
In this way, when the Japanese army's attention is focused on the frontal battlefield, the attack becomes more sudden, making the Japanese army unable to defend against it.
In the northwest direction, less than five kilometers away from the Japanese defensive position, on a high slope, Brigadier Chen looked at the Japanese defensive line ahead with stern eyes.
"They have occupied a lot of high ground and built machine gun bunkers on the high ground. Our troops have artillery support and should be able to destroy and cover the enemy's machine gun fire points in a short period of time.
When our infantry troops launch an attack on the enemy, they should be able to break through the enemy's first line of defense on the periphery of the railway line in a short period of time. "
It was his chief of staff who spoke.
Brigadier Chen said: "The little devil's troops are no better than before.
"If it had been before, these little devils would have rushed directly into the mountain with their 38 big guns and wiped out our troops. "
The chief of staff on the side said with a smile: "If they rush in now with Sanba Daigai, then we will be happy.
There is no need to fight hard, and our soldiers can suffer fewer casualties. "
¡°Yes, fighting against difficulties has always been my shortcoming.
¡°But now with the fire support of the Fourth Army, our ability to attack difficulties is much stronger than before.
Are the weapons and equipment supported by the Fourth Army now in place? "
Brigadier Chen said, turned his head and looked at his chief of staff.
His chief of staff immediately nodded and said: "It's ready, and the shooting of Zhu Yuan has been adjusted.
"Now as long as you give an order, our artillery shells and rockets can fly to the designated location and area,"
"That's good."
As Brigadier Chen spoke, he lowered his head and looked at the time on his watch.
At this moment, the roar of cannons was heard in the distance.
He turned his head and looked towards the front battlefield direction of Jinzhou.
From that position, he could only see the horizon.
But the sound came from behind the horizon. Hundreds of large-caliber artillery were bombarding at the same time. The sound produced could still be vaguely heard even at such a distance.
"The frontal attack has begun. There is still one hour left. We also have some surprises for the little devils here."
Brigadier Chen said this, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
"The battle in Jinzhou City must end as soon as possible. I have received intelligence that a large number of Japanese troops have landed in the Pingjin area.
I don¡¯t know if this is a situation arranged by Commander Xia in advance or if it is an unexpected situation. "
As he spoke, he looked at the chief of staff beside him and said, "What do you think?"
His chief of staff said at this time: "I think, according to Commander Xia's character, if he really didn't have any preparations, he might have already sent his troops back to the court to support the Pingjin area.
However, since he has not made any movement now, I tend to think that he has made arrangements in advance.
It¡¯s just that the two of us don¡¯t have the authority to know. "
"You are inclined, I am very sure, he must have a plan."However, this little devil's move is actually quite damaging.
They know that we don¡¯t have any sea power, so they came up with such a move.
If we also have our own navy, then the little devils will never even think of entering our Linhai. "
Brigadier Chen said.
The chief of staff on the side said: "Don't worry, it will happen. We will also have our own navy and warships in the future."
"Hahaha, I think there will be some. When we first entered Jinggangshan, wasn't there nothing?
It has only been a few years, and we have everything we need, even tanks. "
Brigadier Chen said, feeling very relaxed and without any sense of urgency before the war.
"There will be, there will be."
His chief of staff also said at this time.
On the position along the railway line where the Japanese army was stationed, Tetsuya Nagara, a division commander of the Japanese 45th Division, put the katana in his hand into the scabbard.
His eyes were sharp, like the sharp blade just now. In front of him was the scout who had just ran back from the perimeter.
"You said that a large number of Eighth Route Army activities were discovered. How many people were there?"
He said, placing the katana in his hand on the knife holder.
The Japanese soldier said at this time: "I am not very sure, but it is at least more than 5,000 people.
They are densely packed and lurking in the woods, seeming to be waiting for the right moment to launch an attack on us. "
Daliang Zhe also sneered and said: "It should be the Eighth Route Army in the mountains.
They have about 10,000 guerrilla troops in the mountainous areas outside Jinzhou City.
¡°These guerrilla forces often made sneak attacks on our railway lines before, but it was not until we deployed our defenses that they restrained themselves.
It seems that this time they still plan to attack our railway line.
After all, a fierce battle is going on on the frontal battlefield, and the enemy also wants to attack our army's transportation lines. "
"There is a possibility that our people are still staring at them, but they just don't know if there are enemy attacking troops in other directions."
The scout said.
"Mark the location of that area on the map. I'll call in the artillery fire and destroy these guys and the forest together."
Daliang Zhe also said at this time.
"About this location."
The Japanese scouts marked the specific location of that area on the map. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
