Ueda Kenkichi said softly to Ugaki Kazunari: "Governor, what if we mobilize all the troops along the river and the National Defense Forces suddenly cross the river?!"

Ugaki Kazunari snorted coldly: "Ueda-san, there are more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces! Do you think this belongs to one regiment of the National Defense Force?! This is obviously all the heavy artillery of the entire National Defense Force! In other words, we are facing a very extreme situation.

It may be all the troops of the entire National Defense Force! Therefore, we must gather all the troops to resist their attack. Otherwise, do you think we can hold our position under the attack of the National Defense Force?!"

Ueda Kenkichi fell silent after hearing Yuheng Kazunari's words. The Ninth Division was fully equipped with two brigades. But now that the battle had just begun, one brigade was almost crippled, and all the heavy artillery was lost.

Although the 10th Division did not enter the battle and therefore did not suffer any losses, it is absolutely difficult for the two divisions with a total of less than 30,000 troops to hold the position under the superior firepower of the National Defense Forces in terms of strength, aircraft, and heavy artillery.

Even more difficult!

Yuheng Yisheng's method is to shrink the position as much as possible, and then gather troops to resist desperately! Then wait for the arrival of reinforcements, which is the only thing the Japanese army can do now.

This can only be the case when the artillery is lost and the Air Force loses a group and the rest is completely uncertain.

Regarding the heavy artillery firepower, Yu Heng Yisheng was right in his calculation. Indeed, all the heavy artillery of the entire National Defense Force was gathered, but what he expected wrongly was that the National Defense Force did not gather all its strength on the battle front!

The National Defense Force cavalry at Jiulian City and the Second Army Corps at Niujiagou in Changdian were all methods used by Tu San Pao before his subordinates! It’s just that these methods were hidden and not used. When they were launched, they were killed with one blow.

kick!

When the Japanese army withdrew all the soldiers and horses from various strongholds along the river, they did not know that their actions had all fallen into the eyes of some seemingly farmers. Then the news of the Japanese army's withdrawal from the strongholds spread to the temporary cavalry troops who had gathered to prepare.

and within the Second Corps.

After receiving the news, the two troops quietly crossed the Yalu River under the leadership of the Korean Patriotic Corps members in a tacit understanding! The cavalry troops followed the plan without hesitation and followed the route under the leadership of the Korean Patriotic Corps.

Attack Pyongyang!

The Second Army Corps, under the leadership of their guides, was preparing to block the Japanese army's retreat!

These Japanese soldiers didn't know that they abandoned the first-line position according to Yuheng Yisheng's order! They retreated to the second-line reserve position. When they retreated, the National Defense Forces had already begun to charge into the formation!

Under the charge, the soldiers of the National Defense Force roared and rushed to the position! Except for the shattered corpses of the Japanese soldiers who had been bombarded, there was not a single living person in the position. After receiving the news, the commander-in-chief of the front, Fatty Tian, ​​ordered the troops

Stop charging and correct your position on the spot.

And commanded other troops to come forward to encircle the Japanese army! Tian Jixiang, who has experienced a series of major battles, has matured. If his position rashly launches a war, these new soldiers will suffer heavy losses. Moreover, they have just carried out a charge, and the soldiers' physical strength is also low.

It consumed a lot.

The Japanese troops withdrew to the second-line position. The reorganized defense must be strong! So Fatty Tian did not hesitate to stop the troops, first took care of the position and set up various light and heavy machine guns for defense.

Then he ordered the follow-up troops to follow up and asked the remaining troops to build a defensive circle against the Japanese army.

The second-line position built by the Japanese army was about five or six hundred meters away from the first-line position occupied by the National Defense Forces. After learning that the National Defense Forces occupied the position, Yuheng Yisheng did not immediately launch an attack but stopped to build the position. His expression became very serious.

Ugly!

He knew that the other party was a cautious general! And this caution meant that the chance of him making a mistake was very small. You must know that despite having the advantage of heavy artillery, aircraft and even troops, this general was still cautious and ordered the troops to pursue the enemy relentlessly.

beat.

Instead, they build a stable position first. Not everyone can have this stable mentality. In other words, the generals of the National Defense Force have begun to mature. This is not good news for the Japanese army! Calm and cautious generals mean that the Japanese army will

It will be gradually compressed and then killed!

While Yuheng Yisheng admired Fatty Tian's steady approach, Fatty Tian also felt that the Japanese general opposite was very decisive.

They gave up the first-line position without even thinking about it! Instead, they consolidated the second-line position. Originally, according to Fatty Tian's idea, the Japanese army would stick to the first-line position. Then they were bombarded and destroyed all the firepower points, and suffered heavy losses. They would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the National Defense Forces.

Either they will all be annihilated on the battlefield, or they will retreat to the second-line position! The latter is more likely. Fatty Tian initially thought that the Japanese army would be defeated and retreat, and then the National Defense Force would chase them down! Directly destroy their second-line position!

The rout will plunge the originally well-defended positions into chaos, and the fear brought by the rout will also affect the defenders on the second line. If you go all out at this time, it is very likely to directly break the two Japanese positions!

But what Fatty Tian didn't expect was that the Japanese generals would abandon the first-line positions so decisively! They even ordered the troops to withdraw to the second-line garrison after the shelling. This made Tian Jixiang wary and ordered the troops to repair the occupied positions.

.

Tian Jixiang knew that the Japanese army really treated the National Defense Forces like a pot of vegetables! Therefore, with such caution and decisiveness, if it had been changed before, the Japanese army might have only added more troops to hold on and firmly believed that the National Defense Forces could not break their positions!

But now, the Japanese army has regarded the National Defense Force as an equal opponent. It will no longer make those mistakes of underestimating the enemy. The cautious Japanese army is not easy to deal with...

But it doesn't matter, Fatty Tian thought. Our gun master is not a vegetarian. He has already arranged for people to raid your home! He also arranged troops to block your retreat. No matter how cautious the Japanese army is, it will be in vain.

.

Moreover, Fatty Tian has another unsaid reason. This time... Tu Sanpao seems to be crazy, but in fact he is still very measured. The main strategic arrangement is to teach the Japanese a lesson, now...

The Air Force killed dozens of Japanese fighter jets. The Army bombed the Japanese artillery. Although there were no statistics on the results of the battle at the forward positions, at least more than a thousand people were killed. In other words, these losses were enough to make the Japanese army miserable.

Already.

But what Fatty Tian didn't know was that one of the reasons why Tu Sanpao launched this large-scale war was to temper these new recruits of the National Defense Force.

These recruits have never experienced large-scale wars, and they are still recruits. The skills of veterans are developed through fighting, and the Third Artillery Corps is training with revenge! It also trains officers at all levels to make them familiar with how to operate on large-scale battlefields.

command your troops.
