    More than 3,000 guerrillas, large and small, in the surrounding area were organized to enter the area for defense. At the same time, a large number of troops were dispatched from the Henan area to provide reinforcements in this direction.

    In the next two days, the defense strength here will increase from more than 10,000 to more than 30,000.

    The dragnet against the Japanese army has been laid out.

    They already have experience in annihilating the fleeing Japanese troops.

    During the previous Battle of North China, the main force of the Japanese army wanted to flee south to join the Japanese troops in Shandong.

    As a result, most of the Japanese troops were surrounded and annihilated on the way.

    As for the Japanese troops in Shandong, they were blocked south of the old course of the Yellow River and were unable to break through the defenses here.

    That battle at that time actually accumulated a lot of combat experience for them to block the Japanese troops.

    Now that their troops have an absolute advantage, it is actually less difficult to stop the Japanese troops fleeing south than before.

    However, it is not easy to completely block the Japanese troops who are running away now.

    While Mr. Peng was commanding the troops to pursue the remaining Japanese troops southward, He Changxing had already assembled troops to clear out the remaining Japanese troops in the Pingjin area.

    They want to annihilate all the Japanese troops here.

    Although many Japanese soldiers chose to flee directly, there were still many Japanese soldiers who did not even have the chance to escape.

    Because whether they are going south or north, there are a large number of troops surrounding them. If they are going east, they will reach the sea.

    He Changxing needs to lead the troops to clear out these Japanese troops who cannot retreat.

    Those who can be persuaded to surrender should be persuaded to surrender directly and taken to prisoner-of-war camps. If they cannot be persuaded to surrender, then they will be eliminated directly without mercy.

    The defeat of the Japanese army on the southern front was unstoppable.

    At this moment, on the northern battlefield far away in Harbin, the clouds of battle have gathered over the city.

    Harbin City, in the few days after the Fourth Army troops occupied it, has been transformed into a castle armed to the teeth.

    Xia Yang and the others mobilized a large number of people in the city to participate in the construction of various fortifications.

    This kind of construction not only includes the construction of various positions on the city wall, but also the construction of bunkers, machine gun bunkers, and barricade positions in the city.

    Many young and middle-aged people even enthusiastically signed up to join the army, wanting to become a soldier and fight together.

    Xia Yang would not refuse these people.

    Soldiers will be gathered together for simple training to at least let them know how to shoot.

    "Then these soldiers may have to face the attack of Japanese troops in the next battle.

    The entire city of Harbin was quiet for three days.

    But everyone knows what is behind this silence.

    The Japanese troops outside the city continue to gather, and now there are more than 100,000 people.

    They will launch attacks in four directions of Harbin City at the same time.

    As for the Japanese artillery troops, they had already begun bombarding the defensive positions outside Harbin City during this period.

    They did not dare to bomb the city walls and residential areas. They had already received relatively reliable information that the Japanese expatriates in the city were arranged to live in clusters near the city walls.

    If their artillery shells are fired at the city wall, if they are not careful, they may directly hit the residential areas of Japanese expatriates.

    There are many Japanese soldiers here, and even the family members of the commanders. If they are asked to shoot at their own families, they will not do it under any circumstances.

    Guderian was not a fool. He also knew that if he forced these Japanese artillery units to bomb the city wall, it would most likely cause the soldiers to mutiny.

    He didn¡¯t have many better ways. He could only concentrate their flat-firing artillery and their armored units as much as possible, planning to create a gap in the city wall during the first day of attack.

    Or use armored troops to directly break through the enemy's wall defenses.

    No matter which plan he chooses, he must be prepared to make huge sacrifices.

    The only thing that made Guderian happy was that enemy bombers no longer bombarded them in the past two days.

    Guderian later learned that it was because the enemy sent a large number of bombers and fighters tobsp;At the same time, these defensive positions are also equipped with artillery scouts who guide the rear artillery for bombing.

    They will guide the artillery units behind them on the position to bomb the Japanese charging troops or the covering positions.

    The firepower of the Fourth Army in the city is absolutely fierce.

    They airlifted two howitzer regiments and a field artillery regiment directly through a large number of transport planes.

    The firepower of the three artillery regiments is absolutely unstoppable even when faced with the Japanese troops on the opposite side.

    What¡¯s more, they will still have a lot of air power to support them.

    The Japanese army will have to face not only ground attacks, but also air fire coverage from overhead.

    With such firepower, it is definitely very difficult for the Japanese army on the opposite side to break through it in a short time.

    "I'm afraid these are not enough. I think air power should also be mobilized to strafe and suppress firepower on these enemy positions."

    A Japanese commander suggested.

    "It's impossible. The enemy's air defense forces are too fierce. Our aviation units have even refused to fight." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
