    The Japanese troops that were attacking Qinhuangdao frontally began to shrink back at this time.  Drive towards their rear.

    Seeing the retreat of these Japanese troops, the soldiers on the city wall suddenly burst into cheers.

    Zhang Shichi stood on the city wall and looked at the retreating Japanese troops in the distance with a telescope, knowing that the crisis in Qinhuangdao had been lifted.

    Although, the Airborne Division only supported two battalions to them.

    But these two battalions, plus an infantry battalion that came to support last night, have a combined strength of nearly 3,000 people.

    With these troops, even if the Japanese army sends another brigade of troops to attack Qinhuangdao.  He also had the confidence to stay until dark.

    The retreat of the Japanese brigade restored the original calm of the city of Qinhuangdao.

    Outside Shanhaiguan, Japanese troops were still conducting a fierce attack on this pass.

    The soldiers of the Airborne Division have taken over from the original defenders in the city and are tasked with blocking the Japanese army.

    In the underground headquarters in the city, Luo Xinghe pointed at the map and said: "Our armored forces are not far from here.

    The infantry troops were also riding in trucks, speeding in this direction.

    If nothing else happens, our reinforcements will arrive as early as the evening.  "

    Master Cui who was next to him said, "That's good. When they come, we will immediately launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

    These little devils, do you really think we can¡¯t defeat them?  If it weren't for the Japanese Kwantung Army that contained our main force, they would not be our opponents at all.  "

    Bai Baoshan said: "That is to say, our tens of thousands of people are used to resist the Kwantung Army from the front."

    Luo Xinghe looked at the map and said: "You can't say that, the reason why this little Japanese army appeared behind us was to attack us.

    It is because they saw it correctly that our main forces were attracted to the northeast to stop the Japanese Kwantung Army.

    "Otherwise they wouldn't choose to land behind us.  "

    Having said this, he said: "What we have to do now is to stop the Japanese army from advancing before the reinforcements arrive, and stop them outside Shanhaiguan."

    "yes!!"

    The officers in the headquarters said in unison.

    At this time, less than fifty kilometers away from Qinhuangdao, the main armored divisions of the Fourth Army and the infantry units of Chen Shiliang's Fourth Division were heading towards Shanhaiguan along the highway.

    Most of Chen Shiliang's Fourth Division rode in trucks, which greatly increased their marching speed.

    Of course, in order to achieve such a marching speed, Xia Yang also recruited thousands of trucks, and even many trucks from the transportation team were deployed to transport their infantry units.

    And all he did was to transport the infantry troops to where they should appear in the shortest possible time.

    In a speeding armored vehicle, Armored Division Commander Liu Hong and Fourth Division Commander Chen Shiliang were gathering together to smoke cigarettes.

    Between the two of them, there was a map.

    On the map, the location of the Japanese army and the location of the Japanese fleet are marked.

    "The military seat means that the little Japanese fleet is docked not far from the coastline, and many places are within the coverage of the Japanese naval gunfire.

    He planned to launch an air strike, using bombers and fighter jets to bomb the Japanese fleet.  "

    Liu Hong dusted off the cigarette ashes and pointed at the map.

    When Chen Shiliang heard this, he said a little strangely: "Didn't the military commander say before that they were afraid that the Japanese fleet's anti-aircraft firepower would be too fierce, so they did not recommend sending fighter planes to bomb the Japanese fleet?

    how?  Doesn't he feel sorry for his fighter jets and bombers now?  "

    Liu Hongdao: "The military position is in the telegram. The reason why we chose to carry out such an operation at this time.

    It¡¯s because the Japanese army¡¯s firepower is much weaker than before.  "

    As he spoke, he pointed with his hand at the Bohai Sea near the mouth of Dagu and said: "The Japanese fleet was originally in this area. At that time, the Japanese army gathered in this area, and there were about forty warships of various kinds.

    In addition, the Japanese army also has two aircraft carriers.

    Although one of the aircraft carriers had its power system blown up, it was still able to take off and land fighter jets.

    By then, our air force will not??It not only needs to face the Japanese fleet's air defense firepower, but also needs to face the Japanese aircraft carrier formation.

    ??For them, this will indeed cause a lot of damage.  "

    Having said this, he smiled helplessly and said: "They say that the tanks and armored vehicles of our armored division are treasures.

    I think these fighter planes and pilots are really valuable.  "

    Chen Shiliang laughed and said, "Don't say that. We infantrymen are really not close to our grandma and not loved by our uncle."

    The two of them joked with each other and then changed the topic to Xia Yang's military deployment this time.

    ¡°But this time, the Japanese fleet was divided into two groups.

    Although they are not too far apart, at least the anti-aircraft firepower should not be spread out.

    According to the intelligence that has been obtained, the Japanese fleet has one aircraft carrier and twenty other warships.

    Among them, the greatest threats are three cruisers and two battleships.  And that aircraft carrier.

    The air defense firepower network they form will pose a great threat to our air force.

    Of course, compared to the Japanese air defense firepower network composed of more than 40 ships, the firepower of this Japanese fleet has been weakened by at least half.

    This is why the military is willing to dispatch air forces to attack the Japanese fleet.  "

    Hearing this, Chen Shiliang said: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid it will be a bloody battle.

    Although our air force is powerful, if it encounters the dense air defense firepower network on the Japanese warships, it will probably fall off.  "

    Liu Hong nodded and said: "That's true. This is also the reason why the military was unwilling to dispatch air forces to carry out large-scale bombing of Japanese naval ships."

    Chen Shiliang thought for a moment and said: "If we can defeat these Japanese naval ships, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Japanese army's escape route."

    As he spoke, he pointed to several Japanese divisions that were attacking Shanhaiguan at this time.

    The total number of Japanese divisions attacking Shanhaiguan this time was about four, totaling 100,000 people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
