The infantry of the Fourth Army continued to rely on the cover of their tanks and armored vehicles to advance against the Japanese troops ahead.
Although the Japanese troops on the opposite side were also shooting at them, their firepower network obviously could not pose any threat to these tanks and armored vehicles.
In terms of the firepower of the two sides, the Japanese army was also completely at a disadvantage.
"Compared with the firepower composed of light infantry, the troops equipped with armored vehicles and tanks are a whole era ahead.
This made the Japanese captain realize that if they did not take some measures, they would not be able to stop the impact of enemy tanks and armored forces.
Thinking of this, he immediately roared: "Organize a death squad immediately. Our soldiers need to show the spirit of Bushido at this time and use their flesh and blood to block the advance of enemy tanks and armored vehicles."
Hearing his words, the Japanese ordering soldiers on the side immediately began to pass on his orders.
In fact, they had already conducted corresponding training before coming to this battlefield.
This includes having the infantry units approach the tanks of the Fourth Army, and then use cluster grenades to destroy the enemy tanks at close range.
Although such tactics seem very rigid, the loss of personnel is also huge.
But under such circumstances, this is all they can do.
Otherwise, under the impact of such a large group of tanks and armored vehicles, they really would have no chance at all.
Reinforcements, their reinforcements will arrive soon.
They must hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Thinking of this, he looked behind them anxiously.
At this moment, inside the division headquarters of the Japanese 122nd Division, their division commander Sakura Sato was already holding a telescope and looking at the place being attacked by tank troops in the distance.
¡°We already know that it was the enemy¡¯s tank troops that charged against the defensive positions of the 4th and 5th Brigade.
They have a large number of people, at least more than 2,000. As for tanks and armored vehicles, there are about 20 or even more. "
The soldier who ran over to report said now.
Hearing these words, the expression on the face of Sakura Sato, the commander of the Japanese 122nd Division, suddenly became extremely ugly.
"No, why did the enemy's tank troops suddenly appear in this place, where is our observation post in the rear? Didn't they discover the enemy's tank troops?"
As Sakura Sato said this, she began to stomp inside the headquarters.
"I think this situation may occur because we have shrunk our troops, causing our defense line to be very empty.
Otherwise, the enemy would not suddenly rush into such a close position and directly attack our position behind. "
As Shirai Matsushita said this, he also realized that the situation this time was very serious.
It is different from the previous enemy¡¯s attack, because this time the enemy¡¯s attack seems to have been premeditated.
Their cavalry troops first eliminated their artillery regiment positions, eliminating their most important artillery firepower.
In this case, if they want to attack the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, they can only rely on their flat-fire cannons and their flesh and blood.
Not only that, the enemy's artillery unit in the city also supported the attack of this unit.
They first used large-caliber artillery to launch a fierce bombardment of the enemy's defensive positions.
Using this kind of bombardment, the enemy's tank troops and armored vehicles used this period of time to shorten the distance from the Japanese positions.
The only flat-firing cannon they had was unable to exert its due power at this time.
In that case, their anti-tank means will become even more scarce.
Only manually thrown Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades can be used.
But this method of combat is doomed to huge casualties.
Can these Japanese soldiers, who have not yet participated in a real battle, really withstand such an attack?
Shirai Matsushita needs to put a big question mark.
He now realizes that he may have fallen into the trap and tomb that the enemy had dug for them in advance.
The enemy is going to bury them here now.
Of course, this is just his feeling and has no basis.
At least for nowCome on, the enemy's troops are only deployed in one of their directions, and no trace of the enemy has been found in other directions.
Perhaps, this is the enemy's attempt to support Langfang City's troops.
If this is the case, they may also be able to adopt another tactic, a tactic that the enemy often used before, which is the tactic of encircling a point and calling for reinforcements.
"What do you think? Shirai Matsushita."
At this time, Sato Sakura's voice came from the side.
¡°I think that in addition to sending reinforcements, we should also immediately send more scout cavalry to conduct another reconnaissance of the surrounding situation.
The fact that the enemy's tank troops can appear so close to our main force shows that there is a huge loophole in our rear reconnaissance.
"Otherwise, if the enemy tank troops were making such a loud movement, we would not have noticed it. "
Having said this, Shirai Matsushita looked at the map and continued: "The position attacked by the enemy is only three kilometers away from us.
If the enemy's tank troops break through the defense line here, it will be a smooth river and they can directly attack the area where our main force is located. "
"That's true, but if we need to shrink our troops for defense, we have to temporarily stop the attack on Langfang City. Fighting on two fronts, we will be under great pressure, and it is very likely that we will lose sight of one thing."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Langfang City with some regret.
Indeed, their attack in the direction of Langfang City is now in full swing.
If nothing else happens, if this intensity of attack continues, they may even be confident that they can take down the entire city tonight.
But it doesn¡¯t work now. They have invested too many troops in Langfang City.
If the enemy's attacking troops are more than just the tank troops and enemy cavalry troops in front of them, then they will have more places to defend.
As long as there is a problem in one part of the defense line, their 122nd Division may fall into absolute passivity.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
¡°We can only shrink, and first deal with the enemies attacking us from the outside.
As for the enemies in the city, they have suffered heavy casualties and have little ability to fight back against us. "
Shirai Matsushita said.
"Okay, I'll give the order right away."
Sakura Sato said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
