Although this wave of Japanese offensive was defeated, Xia Yang knew very well that the Japanese army on the opposite side would not give up.
This attack on the Japanese army actually did not cause so many casualties. The main force of the Japanese army still exists and will inevitably launch more ferocious attacks in the next period of time.
By then, they may face greater defensive pressure.
In addition, if the Japanese troops attack at night, their artillery firepower will not be fully unleashed.
They must be careful.
"This time the Japanese troops on the opposite side are quite ruthless."
Qiu Guoping, who was standing next to him, said, "Basically, he took out all his property. It can be seen from the enemy's first attack just now. Their bombardment was so fierce that they wanted to knock down all their own artillery shells." .¡±
"The little devils on the opposite side are very anxious. Time is on our side, not on theirs.
Our troops on the southern front will come to our northern front battlefield after a short rest.
By then, the center of the battlefield will have completely shifted.
"If we can launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese army in Harbin and Hailar areas and achieve certain results, then the Japanese army's persistence in the Jinzhou area will be meaningless. "
With that said, he pointed in the direction of Dalian and said: "At that time, our army will go all the way south and directly attack Shenyang and Dalian Port.
It cut off the Japanese army's retreat and made it impossible for them to pass through.
By then, it will be impossible for the Japanese troops on the opposite side to retreat from the northeast. "
¡°That¡¯s something that will happen later. Right now we still have to think about the defense of Harbin City.¡±
He said this and looked outside Harbin.
At this moment, the defeated Japanese troops were once again gathered together by their commander.
Although the Japanese army suffered some casualties during the daytime attack and the fierce bombardment by the Fourth Army, overall, the losses of the Japanese army were not that great, and their command center was not destroyed.
After Guderian received the telegrams sent from the headquarters of each division, he roughly counted the casualties they suffered during the day, and found that they were within the acceptable range.
In fact, during the daytime attack, their troops suffered the greatest losses only from the southern front troops.
The Japanese troops here attacked the most ferociously, but precisely because of this, they suffered more casualties.
Not only that, in the other direction, their troops suffered a very violent counterattack after encountering a fierce bombardment by the enemy.
During this process, the casualties of the Japanese army were further expanded. Many wounded who were originally on the battlefield could not be moved down and could only be slaughtered by the enemy's charging troops.
The number of casualties reported from their direction exceeded 2,000.
Fortunately, most of the Japanese troops still exist. For them, it is only a matter of time before they launch the next attack.
In the temporary headquarters of Guderian and Hans, they began to formulate corresponding combat plans based on the offensive and defensive posture of the four armies during the day.
First, their artillery needs to be used dispersedly and cannot be concentrated.
Because as long as their artillery units are concentrated on a certain artillery position, the air power on the opposite side will inevitably conduct concentrated bombing on these artillery positions.
This will cause their troops to suffer unnecessary casualties, but will make it easier for the air forces on the opposite side to carry out violent bombing against them.
Many artillery units of the Japanese army also suffered very heavy casualties during such concentrated bombing.
Not only that, their infantry units also gathered relatively densely, which led to the enemy's bombing and achieved good results.
This is not something Guderian wants to see.
"The first order is to spread out their artillery units. In this way, the enemy on the opposite side can minimize the bombardment of our artillery units."
Guderian said while gently stroking the corners of his eyes.
"Second order, our troops will launch a night attack against the enemy before one o'clock this evening.
The first night attack was just a probing attack, and around three o'clock in the morning, it was the second probing attack.
The third attack is truly fierceWhen attacking, don't give the enemy on the opposite side a chance to breathe, but attack their position directly in one go. "
Hans said: "The previous two attacks were to make them relax their vigilance?"
Guderian nodded and said: "Yes, let them relax their vigilance. During the day today, the enemy on the opposite side has achieved a very good victory.
If we attack in the dark, the first two attacks will be defeated very quickly, and the enemy on the opposite side will definitely be paralyzed and careless.
We will launch the third fierce attack at about 4:30 in the morning. At this time, it is already close to dawn.
This is the time when people are most in trouble. Not only that, our troops can also make appropriate adjustments and carry out wheel battles because of their superior strength.
The troops attacking in the last wave can be corrected in the first half of the night.
Until they need to participate in the attack, they will start to follow the attack route of the previous troops and launch a fierce attack on the enemy's position.
I believe that the enemy at that time must have been extremely tired.
We soldiers who have just rested are full of energy and can burst out with stronger power in the battle. "
"That's good, I will start conveying your orders now."
Hans said from the side.
Hearing this, Guderian added: "By the way, one more thing, we order our troops to use poison gas bombs tonight.
But the dose of poison gas bombs must be carefully controlled, and it is best not to cross the city wall. "
When he said these words, he actually considered that there were a large number of family members of Japanese military officers in Harbin. If poison gas was used on a large scale, the families of these commanders would also be poisoned to death.
¡° Then I¡¯m afraid the commanders of these Japanese armies will kill themselves without the need for the Fourth Army on the opposite side to take action.
It is already impossible for me to command these Japanese commanders and let them charge and fight.
"I understand what you mean."
Hans said.
He also knows that Guderian must consider that the enemy on the opposite side has hostages in his hands. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
