The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were searching this area at this time, on the one hand to clean up the battlefield, and on the other hand, to eliminate the remaining Japanese troops at this time. ¡®
In this dense forest, gunshots can still be heard.
"However, these gunshots usually only sound once or twice before becoming quiet again.
Chen Geng was walking on the battlefield and saw a large number of Japanese soldiers, huddled together.
This is a unit of the Japanese army. When they gathered together to rest, they were killed by a large-caliber howitzer shell fired by the Fourth Army.
When that large-caliber shell explodes, the damage area can cover half of a football field. If it is an incendiary bomb, the damage area can reach the terrifying area of ??a football field.
Under such power, these Japanese soldiers were killed without even having time to react.
"It's better to have a cannon."
Chen Geng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
"If they had attacked the Japanese army this time, they could have relied on their numerical advantage to finally annihilate the Japanese troops.
However, their attack capabilities are insufficient and they lack the coverage of heavy firepower, so it may take a few days or even a week.
And their casualties will be doubled, even larger than the Japanese casualties, which is not impossible.
For them, in the battle with the Japanese army, if they have the artillery support of the Fourth Army, it is equivalent to doubling their strength.
This not only allows them to destroy the Japanese troops at a faster speed, but also allows them to minimize the casualties of their own soldiers in such battles.
"The brothers of the Fourth Army also stayed together all night yesterday. Those of the artillery regiment, I think that when the fighting here becomes less tense, we have to treat them well."
His chief of staff said at this time.
Brigadier Chen immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. When the time comes, we will bring out the good wine and meat and entertain them well.
Without them, our casualties would have doubled. "
Xia Yang dispatched such an artillery regiment to support the Eighth Route Army because of the lack of artillery firepower. If they only relied on their mountain artillery, field artillery, and mortars, their fire suppression against the Japanese army would be very limited.
If the Japanese army relied on strong defenses to block their attacks, the Eighth Route Army would have to pay very heavy casualties to break through the enemy's defensive positions.
When he saw the consumption of ammunition provided by the artillery regiment, even Xia Yang felt a little pained.
"Good guys, they are not afraid of those howitzers exploding their barrels. The bombardment almost never stops."
Xia Yang yawned early in the morning and looked at the ammunition consumption figures reported over there.
There is also an application next to it.
" Let's airdrop some more artillery shells, it's not enough.
"Hahaha, but their artillery shells can be used on the edge. Last night, the Eighth Route Army troops directly annihilated 20,000 elite Japanese troops. Such a record will be the same when we fight on the battlefield again. I haven¡¯t typed it out for a long time.¡±
Wei Xing said.
"It's been a long time, probably more than half a month. Hahaha."
At this time, Xia Yang couldn't help but make a move in Versailles.
According to the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army, they only supported a bomber squadron and an artillery regiment, and they achieved such a brilliant record.
"If they had the weapons, equipment and firepower of the Fourth Army, I'm afraid their results would be even more brilliant than they are now.
"By the way, we also got a piece of information from our side, which is from the direction of Pingjin.
The enemy's troops have broken through several lines of defense we set up on the periphery, and are now advancing straight in. Many troops have already escaped from the coverage of their naval guns.
If we wait two more days, I'm afraid they will start attacking the defenses in the core areas of Pingjin and Tianjin. "
Wei Xing said.
Xia Yang looked at the information, and then said: "Tell He Changxing and Hao Shiwen to let them act according to the situation and not have to refer to my opinion for every action.
They are at the front of the battlefield and know the situation best. I am not in that place and can give them.?Advice is also very limited. "
Hearing this, Wei Xing said in Tianjin dialect: "Actually, the military seat is particularly good because it gives your command power to the commanders below.
Let them develop their own capabilities and adjust their military deployment according to the actual situation.
Such courage is actually not possessed by every commander. "
¡°Okay, stop flattering me here.
This is because I know you, I know what battles you can fight, and you will not be worse than me in fighting them. I also know what battles you cannot fight now, and I must be there to supervise the battles. "
Xia Yang said this, and then said: "By the way, Sakon Shiya, I heard that that guy brought two brigades and a heavy artillery regiment to support Daliang Zhe and his troops. Where are they now?"
"At this location, they are resting and recuperating. They are still dozens of kilometers away from Daliangzhe. They want to continue moving forward, but the physical strength of the soldiers no longer allows it.
When they were marching last night, they had almost no time to rest.
It¡¯s a pity that he failed to save the besieged Mingzhe Siye.
The Eighth Route Army was supported by our artillery firepower, and the little Japanese on the opposite side were dealt with very quickly.
They did not wait for reinforcements to arrive, and were completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army troops. Their brigade commander, Mingzhe Siye, also committed seppuku. "
Wei Xing said.
"Okay, it seems that if I use my cannonballs for them, I will really make a profit.
Having killed so many Japanese troops, the little devils in Jinzhou City are now scared.
Originally, their rear was quite stable, but in one day, more than 20,000 people were wiped out. The Japanese army may not be able to bear such a huge loss.
If they continue to divide their forces to defend the rear, their strength in the front will be stretched thin.
This is the biggest advantage of attacking from the front and back. It is easy for them to ignore the head and the back, and they don¡¯t know which direction to prioritize defense.
The final result was that they lost everything and had nothing to protect. "
"Then it's our turn to carry out a frontal attack, isn't it?"
Wei Xing said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
