Even the air force did not support them because they were operating at night.
She really couldn¡¯t imagine how Mancheng was lost.
Until Neiji Okamura sent her a telegram saying that Mancheng was captured by the enemy from within.
Only then did she understand why the entire city could become an enemy's city at such a rapid speed.
And once Mancheng falls, the enemy will undoubtedly attack Baoding City.
The Japanese troops in the Shijiazhuang area had some Ni Bodhisattvas crossing the river. They were unable to protect themselves and could not mobilize any more troops to support them.
At this time, the Japanese army was in the Baoding area, and the forces they could mobilize were only about two brigades.
In total, there are only more than 10,000 people.
And they need to face it. It is not just one brigade of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but also needs to face more than 100,000 troops assembled in the city.
Not only that, the informants they deployed in Laiyuan County also provided them with necessary intelligence.
On the night when Mancheng was captured, the armored troops and heavy artillery troops set off overnight.
They followed the highway and headed directly to the Mancheng area.
If nothing goes wrong, these troops will be able to reach the outskirts of Mancheng at noon on the second day.
In addition, the air force of the Fourth Army also began to use transport aircraft to drop large quantities of weapons and equipment into the open spaces outside the city.
The troops of the Fourth Army are there to support them.
? Collect these weapons that have been dropped, and then distribute them.
These weapons mainly include mountain guns and field guns of large and small calibers, as well as a large amount of ammunition, as well as various other accessory weapons.
Not only that, field airports outside the city are also being rapidly constructed.
Their engineering troops were even able to create a simple field airport capable of taking off and landing aircraft in one day.
Once the construction of the field airport is completed, the speed of material delivery for the Fourth Army will be greatly accelerated.
In addition, the air force of the Fourth Army can also use this airport to conduct in-depth bombing and aerial reconnaissance against the Japanese army.
By then, not to mention areas such as Cangzhou and Shijiazhuang, even the Pingjin area will be covered by enemy fire.
It is precisely because of such a critical situation that Okamura Neiji had no choice but to ask Ogawa Yuri to dispatch a division of troops to return to the Shijiazhuang area.
But compared to the Shijiazhuang area, the more dangerous place is the Pingjin area.
Because the enemy's artillery can even bombard the Japanese defense fortifications outside Beiping City.
They were hoarding in Juyongguan at this time, but did not launch an offensive immediately. It was obvious that they were waiting for the support of the Fourth Army troops in the Mancheng area, and then launched a fierce attack on the Pingjin area from both sides.
Okamura Ningji thought of calling the United Fleet and asked them to come over to support the Pingjin area.
Many troops of the Kwantung Army have also been mobilized. Originally, they only sent two brigades to enter the pass to strengthen defense. At this time, the number of troops mobilized has increased to two reorganized divisions.
¡°However, the two reorganized divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army cannot be dispatched at any time, but require a series of preparations.
They need to transport a large amount of military supplies from outside the customs to inside the customs via train.
But on the night when Mancheng was captured, Liu Fudong's Kagel Combat Division had already mobilized more than 10,000 people to advance toward Shanhaiguan in armored vehicles and trucks.
At this time, the Japanese army stationed at Shanhaiguan only had one brigade.
"If Liu Fudong could capture Shanhaiguan before the two Japanese divisions arrived with support, he could then use this place as a defensive position to block the Japanese army from moving south.
¡°Then the Japanese Kwantung Army would not be able to contact the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area. They could only reach the Pingjin area by sea.
Leading these more than 10,000 people is Luo Xinghe, chief of staff of the Kagel Combat Division.
The Japanese army was in Shanhaiguan and originally had no defense forces.
But because Okamura Neji is aware of it, Dean may launch an attack on Shanhaiguan.
Therefore, two days ago, surrounding troops were allowed to enter Shanhaiguan for defense.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Luo Xinghe took his subordinatesThe team traveled day and night, and within one night, they had arrived outside Shanhaiguan.
Hundreds of years ago, Wu Sangui opened the city gate here and let the Manchu troops enter, which led to the final fall of the Ming Dynasty.
Now it is occupied by the Japanese army and has become an important pass connecting the inside and outside of the pass.
The troops led by Luo Xinghe marched for a full night before arriving here.
But they did not rush to attack, but waited for the arrival of the air force.
At this time, in order to cooperate with Luo Xinghe's operation, the air forces of the entire Shanxi and Chahar Provinces have completed their assembly.
They carried a large number of bombs and incendiary bombs and prepared to raze Shanhaiguan to the ground.
The Japanese army here has almost no anti-aircraft firepower, so it cannot pose any threat to these air forces.
Not only these air forces, but also the large trebuchet on the truck that Luo Xinghe and the others were riding in was also assembled by them.
These trebuchets have been improved and can burn gasoline in oil barrels and launch it to a location several kilometers away.
They use more powerful composite springs. It is difficult for ordinary manpower to pull these springs, and even requires electric motors to pull them.
And once these springs are stretched to the limit and then ejected, the power they release is very terrifying.
The main function of these trebuchets is to launch oil drums and glassware filled with napalm into Shanhaiguan to kill and injure Japanese troops.
Then it was ignited with flames, and combined with the bombing of the Air Force, it was enough to turn the Japanese troops in Shanhaiguan into a group of roasted suckling pigs.
At this time, the Japanese troops in Shanhaiguan also discovered the enemy troops that suddenly appeared outside the pass before dawn.
And most of this force is composed of armored forces, which makes them very nervous.
Because they were a hastily assembled force, they did not have a large number of anti-tank guns to use.
Facing these steel monsters, all they can do is use flesh and blood to carry out close-in blasting.
Therefore, the Japanese army directly abandoned their positions on the periphery and chose to rely on the towering walls of Shanhaiguan for defense. This is a smart approach.
¡°However, the Japanese army would not have thought that it was not these tanks and armored vehicles that forced them to eventually be destroyed.
"But those terrible napalm bombs. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
