Captain Feng Rui directed the team to search for remaining Japanese on both sides of the streets that had been bombarded by artillery fire.

Squadron Leader Hasegawa Takuto looked at the streets that were bombed beyond recognition and wanted to cry without tears.

This infantry squadron was originally laying an ambush among several of the houses facing the street.

Following the orders of Captain Matsuda Yosei, they lurked in the room and waited patiently for the national army tanks to pass.

Thinking of attacking the infantry following the tanks, what none of the Japanese soldiers expected was this:

After being attacked, the tanks of the national army did not lose their combat effectiveness, but instead exploded.

An indiscriminate bombing was carried out on all the houses on both sides of the street.

Thirteen Japs led by Captain Kuni Naka Taiji became victims of this bombing.

Captain Kuni Naka Taiji led the entire team and lurked well. Before this, not a single bullet or shot was fired.

Just waiting so quietly.

After the tank's tracks were broken, the Japanese from Kuni-Naka Tai's detachment were not exposed. They were still waiting for the opportunity.

What they didn't expect was that what awaited them was not opportunity, but destruction.

Squadron Leader Hasegawa Takuto was secretly glad that he was far away and had escaped this wave of land-washing bombings.

The next thing that made it unbelievable was that the tank that had just had its tracks broken and stopped moving was resurrected with full health more than ten minutes later.

The tanks started moving and they moved on.

It's just that this time the tanks advanced much more carefully, first strafing, then bombing, and then moving forward again.

Every fifty meters forward, infantrymen rushed into each room in the middle of this distance to clean up, not giving the Japanese any chance.

As a result, Captain Matsuda Yosheng became anxious.

The team that retreated from the city wall was completely unable to sneak attack the tanks again.

Although its brigade also had an infantry gun and several mortars, these artillerymen were not sure of taking action for a while.

Although the Yoshizawa Kotaro detachment was completely destroyed, the results of their initial battle were visible to the entire brigade.

The National Army tanks will not be given such an opportunity now.

The commander of the artillery unit, Hideki Kamikawa, had led the artillery unit to retreat again and again.

It finally understood: these tanks would not give it another chance.

Captain Hideki Kamikawa could only order: "Shoot!"

It directed the infantry artillery to fire directly at a position less than 500 meters away from the tank: "Boom!"

When the gunfire sounded, he was discovered by the crew on the tank.

"Boom!" The shell hit the armor, and the smoke and fire flooded the tank.

Just when the Japanese soldiers in Matsuda Yosheng's brigade were excited: "Boom!"

A flash of fire burst out from the smoke and headed straight for the Hideki Kamikawa artillery unit.

Boom!

The shells exploded in the artillery unit.

The retreating Hideki Kamikawa detachment had no chance to struggle and was sent away with one shot.

This was not over yet, the machine gun also fired several shells at their position.

It’s over! The last infantry gun is over!

This is the idea of ​​Captain Matsuda Yosei.

Then it saw that the tank that had just been hit by a shell rushed out through the smoke.

"This..., the tanks of the national army are really not afraid of shelling!" At this time, the Japanese in Matsuda Yosei's brigade truly believed this.

At this time, whether they believe it or not is actually not that important anymore.

The facts are right in front of you, and the attack is right in front of you!

As Li Zhongxian's additional troops in the city gradually arrived, the Fourth Division's advance accelerated.

Despite this, 20,000 Japanese soldiers were spread out in the county town fighting in the streets.

They fought very tenaciously. When it got dark, Li Zhongxian had to order the entire division to stop attacking.

When Wei Mingyang received his report, he did not urge him. He just told him not to rush. Since the Japanese were going to use street fighting to resist, they should train their troops.

When training the team!

Wei Mingyang really has such thoughts. His plan is to attack the Japanese homeland. By then, such street fighting will only become more intense.

It is beneficial for your team to engage in some actual combat like this first.

The battle in the Northeast is all under control.

Wei Mingyang didn't mind spending a few extra days in one city or one place.

When Wei Mingyang didn't care, the Kwantung Army did.

Commander Umezu Yoshijiro was overjoyed when he learned that the Kidou Village Division had used street fighting to withstand the sharp attack of the national army:

"Yo Xi! The leader of the Guitou Village division still has some genius!

Yingkou should do the same!"

Now that the Guitou Village Division can hold on for one more day in Panshan, it can buy one more day for the Kwantung Army to ambush in Dalian and Lushunkou.

Commander Yoshijiro Umezu thinks it would be best if we could have seven to half a month of preparation time.

Commander Anan Weiji, who was ordered to command this campaign in Dalian Bay, also thought so. Now he has taken a plane to patrol around Dalian Bay and Lushunkou several times.

I already know the terrain very well, and I also took a car to see the location where the Japanese troops landed during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.

It believed that the landing site of the national army was also at this location. After all, there were not many beaches suitable for large troops to land.

This is the best location!

Behind this beach, it has deployed two heavy artillery brigades and two infantry divisions.

On the mountain not far from the beach, the Japanese were urgently building trenches and fortifications.

As long as Wei Mingyang dares to land from here, Anan Wei is almost certain to wipe out all the soldiers who land.

In order to prevent accidents, behind these teams, it also prepared two reserve divisions, ready to reinforce the sniper team on the beach at any time.

After Commander Anan Weiji inspected the defense of Lushunkou Fortress, he was not worried.

Because the fortress is so strong, it cannot be captured by the national army.

After the inspection, Commander Anan Weiji believed that even if the Japanese army attacked Lushunkou now, they would not be able to capture the fortress like they did in the Russo-Japanese War without spending several years besieging it.

After all, after capturing the fortress, the Japs strengthened the fortress' weaknesses in a targeted manner.

When the Japanese soldiers attacked the fortress, a lot of Japanese died.

In the end, they relied on the Japs to charge without fear of death, and then used the method of killing both the Japs and the Russian soldiers at the same time, using this method to destroy the morale of the Russians.

Only then did the Russians surrender.

Today's Japs are confident that they will fight to the last man and will not surrender.

Commander Anan Weiji is now full of confidence.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is that time is tight. It will take time to mobilize its hundreds of thousands of troops.

At this time, the importance of the Guitou Village Division was revealed, especially its use of street fighting to delay the momentum of the national army's offensive.

"Okay! Great!" Commander Anami Weiji personally called the leader of the Yuto Division in Guitou Village.

He praised it severely and finally ordered it to stick to Panshan County for ten days.

"The empire will always remember the great achievements of the Guitou Village Division!" Commander Anan Weiji said.

This sentence made the leader of the Guitou Village Division excited for a while.

Now it desperately wants to hold on for ten days!

As long as it can be defended for ten days, a perfect trap can be laid so that the attacking team of the national army cannot get out.

In an extremely excited mood, the leader of the Yuto Division in Guitou Village summoned all the Japanese soldiers above the level of captain for a meeting overnight.

At the meeting, it notified the commanders of today's battle on the situation of today's battle, and also conveyed the praises of North China Front Army Commander Terauchi Juichi, Kwantung Army Commander Umezu Yoshijiro, and Kwantung Army Second Front Army Commander Anami Yuiki.

These commanders praised and encouraged them all.

"Gentlemen! Commander Anan Weiji asked us to hold on for ten days. After ten days, the Kwantung Army will have a perfect trap waiting for the attacking national army.

This is a turning point in the destiny of the empire, and it is also the direction we strive for!

Hold on for ten days! Do you have confidence?"

The leader of the Yuto Division of Guitou Village has said all this. Even if you don’t have confidence, you have to have it!

All the Japs present answered loudly: "Yes!"

Even Captain Yosei Matsuda answered with a very bright voice. In fact, he was not even sure whether he would survive tomorrow.

Not to mention what happens ten days later.

But in this situation and in this atmosphere, if you don't tell some lies or shout some slogans, it seems that it is too ignorant.
