    For them, the best solution to their predicament now is the troops outside Tianjin City.

    But, for them, the current situation is not optimistic.

    "Our troops in Tianjin City can provide us with strong support if they can launch an effective offensive on the enemy's flanks and rear."

    "Shiro Oto said.

    Ping Zhenya, whose hair is a little gray, has a more solemn expression on his face.

    His brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, and he finally said: "Having said that, the enemy's troops attacked our bridges along the Haihe River before the bombardment started.

    There are now a large number of enemy troops along the Haihe River.

    According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, the number of enemies here is only over 30,000, and traces of enemy cavalry units have also been found.  "

    Oto Shiro said: "Then we must launch an offensive against the enemy, at least to make the enemy on the opposite side feel a little afraid.

    Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid these troops near Haihe River would dare to launch an offensive against our peripheral positions at the port.

    In addition, we also have many troops in the town northwest of the port.

    The order these troops received before was to support the port.

    I think the command can be slightly modified.  "

    "How to modify it?"

    Ping Tianzhen also asked.

    Oto Shiro said: "Let them not continue to support the port, but fight in this area and launch an offensive against the enemy's flank.

    Although their troops are not large, they can still play a certain role in containing the enemy, preventing the enemy on the opposite side from investing all their troops in attacking the port.  "

    "I get what you meant now."

    Ping Tianzhen also said, "You want to delay time."

    "Yes, delaying time, we still have some fleets and troops in Dalian. They can arrive here via transport ships and provide us with military assistance.

    I bet that if the enemy on the opposite side launches such a ferocious offensive, it won¡¯t last too long.

    What we have to do is to delay until we make some breakthroughs on other fronts.  "

    In fact, there is nothing new in Oto Shiro's combat ideas. They are all procrastination tactics.

    He determined that although the enemy on the opposite side was attacking fiercely, it would not last long.

    There was nothing wrong with what he thought. At least this time, the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army had been preparing for this offensive against the Japanese army for a long time.

    However, their scheduled combat time is only about half a month.

    Within half a month, they need to determine their absolute superiority on the entire southern battlefield.

    If this kind of high-intensity battle continues for half a month, their ammunition and other related materials will have problems.

    This is a characteristic of Xia Yang's troops' operations.

    When both sides ceased their activities, supplies needed for the war were stored on a large scale.

    Then, for more than a month, they launched an extremely fierce offensive.

    But such an offensive can only last for a limited time.

    If it exceeds their logistical supply capacity, then their offensive will gradually fade away.

    Although they fought with the Japanese army for more than a month on the North China battlefield, by the end, Xia Yang's reserves of ammunition and other related weapons for the Fourth Army had reached their limit.

    If the Japanese army grits its teeth and holds on for another half month, Xia Yang will have to suspend the offensive against the Japanese army.

    It¡¯s just that Oto Shiro made a mistake in his judgment.

    That¡¯s how long they can hold on.

    He would not have thought that his more than 200,000 troops on the southern front might not be able to sustain them for even a week.

    "Continue to delay and wait for the arrival of our rear supply troops."

    Ping Tianzhen also agreed with this combat idea, "We still have troops in the rear. Although they have just been formed, they can eventually be brought to the battlefield to fight the enemy."

    "As he said this, he began to calculate their troops in the interior.

    "One more thing I'm worried about is our troops in the interior. Their logistical supplies are a big problem." Ping Tian also said.

    ¡°The supplies they carry can only allow them to fight for a week.

    If we cannot transport the many supplies in the port in time, their combat effectiveness will be reduced bit by bit.  "

      Shiro Oto said: "In a week's time, our reinforcements should have arrived.

    By then, the enemy on the opposite side will not be able to supply supplies and there will be problems with their logistical supplies, and it will be impossible to maintain the current offensive.  "

    ¡°However, we need to resolve the port crisis immediately.

    There are too many enemies on the opposite side, and there are many armored units, so much heavy artillery fire support, and air fire support.

    For us, if the port is lost, then the operational idea of ??delaying the enemy's offensive will be out of the question.  "

    After saying this, he heard vague gunshots coming from outside.

    Their defensive positions outside the port were already at war with the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

    The flare swayed straight into the sky, like a bucket of white paint, splashing on the boundless night.

    "The enemy's attack is rapid and violent, we must seize the time."

    He said worriedly.

    "The good news is that the enemy's shelling is now over."

    "Shiro Oto said.

    "You are always optimistic."

    As he said this, a look of dumbfounding appeared on his face.

    Less than three kilometers away from here, the troops under the personal command of He Changxing were attacking the Japanese defensive positions outside the port.

    Those defensive positions built on the periphery were actually built by Hao Shiwen and others during the North China Campaign.

    After occupying the port, the Japanese army began to expand and reinforce the original positions. They used empty gasoline barrels to connect several highlands near the port underground to form their tunnel defense system.

    Using the passages connected by these gasoline barrels, the Japanese troops in various positions can be transferred and supported at any time.

    In this case, even if there is a problem with one of the defensive positions, Japanese troops from other directions can use the tunnel defense system to provide timely support, or even recapture these breached positions.

    He Changxing was not far away, looking at the Japanese position opposite.

    In his telescope, the flares have now illuminated all the Japanese positions.

    A large number of Japanese soldiers were hiding behind this position, waiting for the armored troops of the Fourth Army to approach.

    The troops at the front have launched an offensive against the Japanese army.

    The heavy machine guns on armored vehicles and tanks fired wildly at the Japanese positions.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
