    This is a difficult situation to deal with, but compared to these, the situation that Yamamoto Isoroku is even more unwilling to see is:

    They could only watch the two divisions being annihilated by the enemy, but they could only stand there, unable to do anything.

    This will have a huge impact on the morale of the entire army.

    Not only that, even those soldiers who broke out would probably feel cold towards him as the commander-in-chief.

    Yamamoto Isoroku refused to see this situation arise. He secretly made a decision in his heart.

    It is necessary to launch a strategic decisive battle with the enemy in the area between Qinhuangdao and Pingjin.

    There are two more divisions that will arrive here via transport ships in a few days.

    Their strength advantage in the Ping-Tianjin area will still be maintained.

    With Yamamoto Isoroku thinking this way, he set his sights on Qinhuangdao again, then pointed at the map and said: "This time, we can't procrastinate anymore.

    Compared with us, the enemy's logistical pressure is not that great.

    The battle here has been delayed for nearly a month.

    The transportation pressure on the Navy Department is very high, because they also need to transport a large amount of materials to Southeast Asia.  "

    Oda Masawa heard the determination in Yamamoto Isoroku's tone, and he also realized that it was obviously unrealistic to linger with the enemy in this area this time.

    They want to take advantage of their current strength and advantage to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.

    This will be a decisive battle!  !

    Thinking like this, he nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, looking at it now, having too many worries will actually make our military operations constrained.

    If we are going to have a decisive battle with the enemy here, then I think we can give the order to leave now.

    In addition to the strength of one division, a defense line was set up in the Pingjin area to prevent the enemy from attacking from both sides.

    The troops of the other three divisions, as well as these two besieged divisions, totaling more than 100,000 troops, must be mobilized to fight the enemy to the death here.  "

    As he said this, Oda Masawa's eyes also burned with flaming fighting spirit.

    There is actually some difference from his usual elegant and steady image.

    Seeing Oda Masazawa agree with his thoughts, Yamamoto Isoroku no longer had any other worries.

    He knew that this would be a big gamble, and being able to win this gamble would not only test them as commanders.

    Even every Japanese soldier at the bottom will face severe tests.

    If they can win, then it is only a matter of time before Shanhaiguan is opened.

    By then, the elite Kwantung Army troops outside the Pass will be able to march straight in and attack the Hebei area southward through the ground.

    By then, not only Tianjin and Peiping, but also Hebei, even the Chahar region, and even the lost northern Henan region will be within their control.

    Thinking of this, Yamamoto Isoroku's inner thoughts became more determined.

    Because he knew very well that such a battle plan would be a winner-takes-all situation.

    "Order the troops in Peiping and southern Tianjin to immediately start heading north toward Qinhuangdao."

    Yamamoto Isoroku gave the order categorically

    His order was conveyed to the Japanese division headquarters below via telegram.

    Subsequently, the Japanese troops on the entire front moved out again to prepare their soldiers and prepare to go north and attack Qinhuangdao.

    In the evening, the battle in the northeast of Shangting Town has gradually come to an end.

    The Japanese soldiers were driven into a narrow area only fifteen kilometers wide by a large number of armored troops and tank troops, as well as a small number of cavalry troops.

    The armored troops of the Fourth Army suddenly appeared in the rear, catching these Japanese troops off guard.

    Their fragile rear line of defense was penetrated by the enemy almost in the blink of an eye.

    By the time the Japanese army reorganized their defense, the armored troops had advanced fiercely for more than 20 kilometers, trapping them in this narrow area.

    This fierce advance continued until ten o'clock in the evening, when it finally stopped.

    The Japanese commanders and soldiers finally relaxed a little, unable to hear the roar of tanks and armored vehicles.

      For them, the past five hours or so have been an absolute nightmare.

    The defensive positions they had just organized were often overwhelmed by enemy armored vehicles and tanks before they had time to set up fire points.

    These Japanese soldiers had no way to resist. Even if they used their flesh and blood to form human bombs, they could not stop the fierce advancement of tanks and armored vehicles.

    Therefore, these Japanese troops could only retreat again and again, until they retreated to their current defensive position.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the orders from the rear, the armored units of the Armored Division and the Kagel Combat Division would have continued to advance until they penetrated the entire Japanese defense line.

    But if you do that, the risk is too great, so Xia Yang urgently stopped it.

    As night fell, the main force of the infantry force, which had been marching for more than three days, also arrived near Shangting Town.

    Their troops, following the instructions they received on the road, directly entered their respective defense zones to set up camp and arrange their positions.

    Most of these soldiers who have been marching for more than three days are dusty and dirty, as if they have just escaped from the wilderness.

    After setting up camp, the infantry troops of the Fourth Army had hot meals for the first time in the past few days.

    The soldiers in the army can also take a good rest in their tents.

    Xia Yang understood their fatigue very well, but still held a temporary military meeting, asking all commanders to arrange for their soldiers to cheer up and be ready for battle at any time after returning to the camp.

    The number of sentries and patrol teams should also be increased appropriately.

    Because the Japanese army might take advantage of them being unheard of to catch them off guard.

    Just as Xia Yang was worried, Tatsumi Sawano and Nagakawa Meiji, as well as several division commanders of the Japanese army, gathered together and were discussing the night attack plan tonight.

    The content of this plan is actually very simple. It is to dispatch elite troops from the mountains on the flanks and along the coastline to bypass the enemy infantry units in the rear to carry out large-scale harassment.

    The number of people in this harassment cannot be too small, otherwise it will not be able to have the effect of harassment at all.

    There must be at least two thousand people. In addition, it is also necessary to consider that the enemy must have arranged many instruments on the front that can observe their movements at night.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
