He said loudly: "Sir, our second line of defense is currently severely understrength. I think we can directly jump over the second line and enter the third direction.
Our reinforcements have just arrived at the third line of defense. I think they can be stationed on the spot to resist the enemy's attack. "
He must speak loudly now, because the eardrums of both ears were damaged to a certain extent by Shi Yongtai in the tank bombardment just now.
It was the tank shell that exploded not far behind them that caused Shi Yongtai to lose a lot of hearing at this moment.
"What?"
After a while, Shi Yongtai realized that he was the commander of this unit and he should get rid of the fear in his heart at this moment.
"I said, we must push directly to the third line of defense. The second line of defense is no longer defensible.
The enemy's pursuit troops will directly overwhelm our second line of defense. "
His staff officer raised his voice and reminded him at one point.
"I understand, then we will retreat to the third line of defense."
Shiguang Yongtai said directly.
"What about the people on the second line of defense? Should we let them retreat to the third line of defense?"
His staff officer asked at this moment.
Hearing these words, Shiguang Yongtai pondered slightly, and then said: "The enemy's armored vehicle troops are chasing too fast. If there is no second line of defense to buy us some time, we will all die on the way to the third line of defense." on the way.¡±
Although he has lost part of his hearing, his mind is still very clear.
Based on the pursuit speed of the enemy armored vehicle units at this moment, if the troops of the second line of defense are allowed to retreat directly to the third line of defense at this time, then the third line of defense may be more stable.
But he and the hundreds of remaining soldiers behind him may all die on the road.
This is almost a no-brainer.
At this time, Shiguang Yongtai realized that he was actually a person who was afraid of death.
The Bushido spirit has not completely brainwashed him, and he is still unable to sacrifice his life for his emperor without hesitation.
Keren always likes to excuse his cowardice and find a very reasonable reason.
At this time, Shi Yongtai thought that he was the commander of the entire army. If he died, their entire defense line would fall into chaos.
Therefore, he should not die. The soldiers in the second direction can die to protect themselves, but he cannot die.
With this excuse, he began to feel at ease.
Therefore, he directly issued the order to let the Japanese troops on the second line of defense continue to hold on.
The Japanese army originally had a regiment of troops on the second line of defense, but later a considerable portion of its troops were transferred to the first line of defense.
Therefore, at the moment, they have less than 800 troops on the second line of defense.
It¡¯s these 800 people. They have almost no anti-tank weapons.
The flat-firing cannon previously equipped to them is considered the most effective weapon against tanks.
But these weapons were previously transferred to the first line of defense.
During the fierce bombing by the Fourth Army, most of the Japanese flat-fire artillery were destroyed by them.
Now the Japanese troops on the second line of defense can only use cluster grenades, anti-tank grenades, and some anti-tank rifles that cannot be reused.
With these weapons, it is almost impossible to stop the impact of the armored forces of the Fourth Army.
It was also at this time that the bomber group of the Fourth Army had replenished ammunition and fuel, took off again, and flew in this direction.
These bombers took off from the airport in Hailar and could bomb the Qiqihar area occupied by the Japanese at the fastest speed.
In the rear of the Japanese army, the armored units of the Fourth Army were ruthlessly pursuing the remnants of the Japanese army.
Those Japanese soldiers naturally couldn't outrun the speeding tanks and armored vehicles.
Most of the Japanese soldiers turned into corpses on the ground during their pursuit.
Only a handful of Japanese soldiers managed to escape by hiding in the surrounding mountains and forests.
The troops of the Fourth Army are just pushing forward and are not very interested in the remnants of the Japanese army hiding in the jungle.
Their main force kept pushing forward, chasing the retreating Japanese army.
?At the same time, behind them, the howitzer regiments of the Fourth Army, as well as their main forces, were also constantly advancing forward.
Outside Harbin, Guderian¡¯s headquarters is in the center of a wilderness.
Here, tens of thousands of Japanese troops are stationed, which is enough to support a division.
Outside the camp, there are wheat fields that have been completely razed to the ground.
Guderian was listening to the staff officer's report at the moment. On his side was his chief of staff Hans.
Neither of them looked very good-looking. Every sentence in Japanese spoken by the Japanese staff officer opposite him would be translated to Guderian.
"The first line of defense is no longer able to hold. We plan to go to the third line of defense to continue holding on. Qiqihar's military strength seems to be insufficient to resist the enemy's attack. We request military support."
Hearing these words, Guderian realized the seriousness of the problem.
The enemy's armored forces were advancing faster than he imagined.
In other words, the Japanese army was defeated faster than he imagined.
"Besides actions in this direction, where else does the enemy take action?"
Guderian asked as he rubbed the corners of his eyes.
"We found traces of large enemy troops marching in the mountains and forests in the southwest. We suspect that the enemy will launch a major offensive near Baicheng."
The staff officer said.
Hearing this, Guderian immediately sat up from his chair.
He looked at the map and found the location of Baicheng in a blink of an eye.
Baicheng is located to the south of Qiqihar. The enemy's attack here is definitely not to attack Qiqihar from both sides.
The enemy on the opposite side aims at Songyuan. If they capture this place, the enemy will not only threaten Harbin, but also pose a great threat to Changchun.
This is a very fierce move. Of course, if they cannot capture Songyuan in a short time after attacking Baicheng, then their logistics will face a big problem.
At this time, Hans said: "I think the problem now is that Qiqihar is likely to fall under the enemy's fierce attack.
Judging from the intelligence transmitted from the front, the enemy on the opposite side concentrated a large amount of firepower, including their air power.
Under such fierce firepower, it was expected that the defenders of Qiqihar were beaten back by the enemy. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
