"We have all entered the combat position, and now we only need your order."
The staff officer beside him said.
Hao Shiwen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we need to wait for another hour."
He said while looking at the dark night sweeping in the distance.
The Japanese soldiers did not know at this moment that behind them, a large number of soldiers from the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were ready to attack them.
Not only here, but thirty kilometers away from here, the main force of the cavalry division led by Zheng Fei was also close to the heavy artillery position deployed by the Japanese army in the rear.
This is a heavy artillery position used by the Japanese army to bombard Langfang City.
There are two heavy artillery regiments assembled in this area.
Although it was dark now, through the infrared night vision device, Zheng Fei could see the situation on the Japanese artillery position on the gentle slope in the distance.
"The little devils across the street are so naive that they actually thought that our cavalry troops would not attack them again at night after they attacked them once during the day."
Zheng Fei said with a smile.
"Hahaha, during the day, we were just two cavalry regiments attacking.
They thought they were our main force, but now this is our main force. "
Zheng Fei said.
They will, together with Hao Shiwen's tank troops and the Eighth Route Army's infantry troops, launch a fierce attack on the 122nd Division.
Even if you can't annihilate them all, you must make them lose their combat effectiveness.
Not only Langfang City, but actually the counterattack by the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army was all-round.
They have assembled a large number of troops in Beiping City and outside Tianjin City.
Tonight alone, the number of troops they mobilized directly exceeded 300,000.
These troops are of various types, some are regular troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army, and many are guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army.
In the past period of time, they tried their best to hide their traces and prevent the Japanese army from discovering them.
But tonight, these soldiers who had been hiding emerged from their hiding places one after another and advanced towards the area where the nearby Japanese camp was located.
This is a very large-scale military operation, and the soldiers who have been holding it back for many days are breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts.
They are going to show off their skills tonight and make those Japanese troops pay the price tonight.
Faced with all this, the Japanese army was completely unaware. They seemed not to have thought that the enemy would launch a large-scale counterattack tonight.
Because in the past period of time, all the intelligence they have obtained shows that the current enemy's troops in the Pingjin area are seriously insufficient, so that they can only huddle in the city for defense, and the battles on the periphery are only relatively close to show off their strength. Some positions were held.
Coupled with past battles, they also gave them this impression.
Although the enemy's troops resist tenaciously, their troops are often very small.
Often a company or two companies try to block the attack of a Japanese brigade.
The result of this is obvious, that is, the enemy can only withdraw from the position after suffering extremely huge losses.
This made many officers of the Japanese army increasingly believe that the strength of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army was very limited.
Although they have launched some counterattacks in the past two days, the scale of their counterattacks is not very large. Only the counterattack from Langfang City this morning is still of some scale.
But even so, the enemy's counterattack cannot be called a success.
First, their cavalry troops unexpectedly attacked the headquarters of the Japanese 122nd Division.
But in such an attack, the enemy's cavalry units did not complete their set goals.
The main force of the Japanese 122nd Division headquarters still managed to escape.
As for the enemy's counterattack in Langfang City, although it also caused losses to some troops outside the 122nd Division, the price paid by the enemy was also very heavy.
The most important thing is that before nightfall, the 122nd Division reorganized a large-scale counterattack against Langfang City.
?The continuous flow of information caused problems in the judgment of senior Japanese military commanders.
On the Japanese aircraft carrier, Ping Zhenya, as the supreme commander of the entire southern front force, looked at the North China Plain shrouded in darkness in the distance.
In that darkness, he always felt that something dangerous was hidden.
Although at this momentTheir troops are everywhere in the Pingjin area.
Even along the railway line leading to Shanhaiguan, one of their divisions was stationed.
The enemy¡¯s counterattack along the railway has been much weaker than in the past few days.
"It looks like you are worried."
Asked Shiro Oto next to him.
Ping Tianzhen also has some gray hair on his temples. He is not young now and his energy is far less than before.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out continuous command of the troops in combat, his spirit is a little tired.
"Are you worried?"
Ping Tianzhen also said, "I just feel like something is not right."
As he spoke, he sat on the chair and rubbed his head.
His spirits have not been so good these days. On the one hand, it is due to his age, and on the other hand, it is because the war on the northern front is not going well. Although the offensive on the southern front is advancing, it is not as smooth as he imagined before. .
The enemy on the front seems to have been delaying their attack and succeeded.
They only used the stubborn resistance of some small groups of troops to delay the advance of their frontal troops.
Shiro Oto looked at him, then handed him a cup of hot tea and said, "Did the enemy's actions in the Langfang City area during the day make you worried?"
Ping Tianzhen also took the cup of hot tea, took a sip and said, "Yes, their sudden counterattack today was a bit uncharacteristic.
What does this mean? Is this a sign of some kind of counterattack?
¡°Perhaps the enemy¡¯s power in this area is stronger than we previously thought. "
But Shiro Oto said: "However, in terms of results, the enemy's counterattack, apart from causing some damage to our soldiers, did not have any substantive effect.
And Sakura Sato of the 122nd Division also organized a counterattack immediately.
According to the intelligence we just received, the enemy's first line of defense is now crumbling.
We will be able to enter the city soon. "
Hearing these words, the worry on Ping Zhenya¡¯s face did not ease at all.
He rubbed the corners of his eyes, and then turned his gaze to the map again.
On the map, their hundreds of thousands of troops are distributed in various locations in the Pingjin area.
"I realized a problem."
Ping Tianzhen also said at this moment. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
