After all, our troops will be intertwined together, and their artillery shells will not have eyes, and they will not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. "
"Okay, then I'll go deliver the order now."
At this time, the joint artillery of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army was still conducting very violent bombardments against the Japanese defensive positions.
These newly exposed enemy fortifications were bombarded by an artillery shell in a very short period of time.
Under such a fierce bombardment, seven or eighty-eight Japanese squadrons that originally occupied the bunker group in front had been killed.
There are quite a few Japanese soldiers here who died in the first wave of bombing.
Because the first wave of artillery shells fired by the Fourth Army were not ordinary high-explosive bombs or armor-piercing bombs, but incendiary bombs.
The moment the shell exploded, it swallowed up many Japanese soldiers hidden in the bunkers and turned them into black charcoal.
Such a terrible bombardment caused heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers in the front positions.
In some of the defensive positions where the Japanese troops were stationed, not even a single living person could be found.
The Japanese army also took advantage of this opportunity to make a detour to the side of the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops.
At this time, while the two sides were still engaging in a head-on game, they were north of the railway line protected by the Japanese army.
The two Japanese brigades, as well as a cavalry brigade, departed from their camps and advanced toward the area where Daliangzhe was located along the road next to the railway. 'They received an order from Yoshijiro Kozu personally to have their troops immediately start supporting Oryo Zhe.
For Daliang Zhe, this is a timely rain.
Although he has a lot of troops, most of them are distributed along roads and railways.
Under such circumstances, it is not very easy for him to concentrate his forces.
For Daliangzhe, reinforcements from other areas, even a large group, can relieve their defensive pressure.
The most important thing is that the arrival of these people can attract some of the enemy's attention to a large extent.
A reinforcement unit can attract some of the enemy's attention. If a few more units come, the enemy may even choose to retreat directly.
Because when their reinforcements are sufficient, it will become extremely difficult for the enemy to attack their defensive positions.
If one is not careful, they may even be surrounded by other Japanese reinforcements.
"It's a good thing. Our brother troops in the north have dispatched a team of about 2,000 people and are thinking of approaching us.
If nothing unexpected happens, they can take it here before evening at most. "
His staff officer said excitedly at this time.
"Why don't they take the train? Do they have to walk?"
Daliang Zhe asked a little strangely.
At this time, his staff officer said: "In fact, it is not that complicated. It is because our railway was destroyed by the enemy in that section.
¡°Moreover, the enemy destroyed more than one section of the railway line.
We cannot protect everything.
The enemy's planes bombed directly against our railway tracks.
??Looking at what they mean, even if they don¡¯t use it in the future, they will not leave these railways to us for use. "
"Use aircraft for bombing? So what, our troops are only dozens of kilometers away from us and can arrive in less than a day.
And this is only our first wave of reinforcements. According to the commander-in-chief, we can get at least five reinforcements this time, and the strength of each reinforcement will be around 3,000. "
Daliang Zhe said very happily.
Although the strength of the Japanese army is slightly insufficient, if we only compare the strength of the two sides, in terms of literal numbers, then the Japanese army still has the advantage.
Their disadvantage compared to the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army actually lies in their firepower and air superiority.
Of course, there is also control of the sea.
However, now the Japanese warships do not dare to approach this battlefield easily.
Because something happened yesterday.
A Japanese gunboat came over to take a look at the situation on the battlefield, and then planned to report the information here to their fleet at the rear.
The result was good. Not long after their gunboat arrived here, the Fourth Army used large-caliber artillery and firedThe extended-range artillery shell was blown into pieces.
It is conceivable that if the Japanese fleet approaches here, it will suffer heavy bombing.
This also made the Japanese fleet completely give up this idea, and they began to completely shift their attention to the southwest of Shanhaiguan and the operations in the Pingjin area.
Rather than risk being sunk by enemy artillery to support the distant Jinzhou battlefield, they would rather stay in the Pingjin area.
¡°At least, here, their troops don¡¯t need to worry about being shot into pieces by extended-range artillery shells fired by the enemy dozens of kilometers away.
They even suspected that the enemy's artillery shells had eyes and could search for their fleet on the sponge.
Because the gunboat that was investigated in the past was actually not very large, and it was about 18 kilometers away from the artillery position of the Fourth Army at that time.
In the eyes of the Japanese gunboat commander and even other Japanese naval officers, this distance is definitely considered a safe distance.
Because according to the intelligence of the Japanese army, the artillery firing range of the Fourth Army is about fifteen kilometers. If it exceeds this distance, the artillery shells of the Fourth Army will also lose kinetic energy and can only rely on inertial flight.
??????????????? Where else this shell could land is unknown.
The result was good. They were conducting reconnaissance at a distance that was considered very safe, but they were fired upon by a salvo and turned into debris on the sea.
As for the crew above, they were all turned into meat paste, and not even a single intact body could be left behind.
Of course, they couldn¡¯t stay in the first place.
The sharks that appear in this sea area will let these Japanese soldiers know what the kindness and love of nature mean.
Of course, it is kindness and love for the fish living in the ocean, and sending them human corpses as their food.
"The enemy has sent a lot of reinforcements, can they withstand it?"
Chief of Staff Liu said worriedly at this time.
Through Xia Yang¡¯s intelligence unit, they successfully deciphered the Japanese army¡¯s telegram requesting reinforcements.
Some of the telegrams here often mention the size of the reinforcements, which is a regiment or even a brigade.
From this point of view, the enemy's force mobilized this time is actually about 70,000 to 80,000 people in the rear. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
