Answering readers' questions: Some readers say that there is no logic in Germany not being interested in tanks, and I also feel that it is very illogical, but in World War I, Germany was indeed not very interested in the tanks of the Allied countries, and it began to develop tanks long after the Entente put them on the battlefield, and it developed a kind of four-like tank called the 'water tank'.

In those dogmatic times, not every army could accept new weapons, just as the British army refused to use submachine guns in World War I.

-- The flame chariot was also sent to the battlefield, and once it touched the fortress of the Yue army, it was a magma flame that sprayed over, and the Yue army inside would soon be suffocated to death due to the exhaustion of oxygen, or they would be frightened by the fierce flames and cry and raise their hands in surrender.

More are the Flamethrowers, who are responsible for the places that the Flame Vehicles can't attack.

Self-propelled artillery also performed well in the second battle, but due to the small number, it did not form a scale, and the main fire support was towed artillery.

The strategic bomber formation also began to take off from Wendeng Airport after the tactical bombers were dispatched, and began to bomb military targets in all directions.

Most of these mosquito bombers bombed deep behind enemy lines, and as soon as they saw a valuable target, they immediately rushed down from the sky and bombed the target at a low altitude.

After the southern defense line headquarters of the army was unable to use the radio station, the front finally transmitted the information to the headquarters, which commanded the entire southern defense line, so wired telephones were installed.

But by this time, the army on the front line had been divided into many pieces, and the command quickly reported to the general command in Longkou.

The commander of the southern line, Ito Kojiro, hurriedly made a detailed report to Uchiyama Kojiro on the phone, and when Uchiyama Kojiro heard the report, he almost vomited blood on the spot, and roared: "What did you say? The southern front was broken through by the chinas? What do you eat? Eight Ga Ya Road! ”

This news made Uchiyama Kojiro lose any literacy, and the situation could be described as taking a turn for the worse, and there was no time for him to react, so he could only shout and order: "You listen to me, even if you die, you have to defend me, who dares to be cowardly defeated and retreat, wait for the military court after returning home!" Maybe you don't have to wait until you return home......"

As he spoke, Uchiyama Kojiro hung up the phone with a bang.

Ito Kuokai was startled by the loud noise, put down the phone, and his mood was gloomy.

In the middle of the ring, Ito called the staff officer and asked, "How many more people can we mobilize?" ”

"Report to the chief, there are only 50,000 logistics personnel, and the other troops can't be contacted." Staff officers reported.

Hearing this report, Ito Kokai took a deep breath and felt extremely innocent in his heart.

The troops were transferred by Uchiyama Kojiro's guy, and the attack of the Shina people was extremely sharp, and he felt that the main reason for the defeat was not him.

But at this point any justification is futile, and no one will listen to his justifications or anything.

"Let them reinforce the front!" Ito Kuokai reluctantly gave the order to support the front line, and he didn't know where to support, and the defense line had already been broken through.

"Hello!"

…… About three hours after the battle began, the East China Army wiped out half of the Yue Army on the southern defense line with lightning speed, and the East China Army's superiority in strength had reached a terrifying level. The ratio of the strength of the remaining Yue army to the East China army was 1:6.

Lin Chenggui, commander of Group A Army, and Zhang Jiyu, commander of Group B Army, issued a general attack order, and the 280,000 East China Army plus 100,000 Beiyang Army and Sichuan Army surrounded the remaining Yue Corps.

After the previous hours of fighting, many soldiers of the East China Army had gained experience in dealing with the troops in the trenches.

First, submachine guns, shotguns, and light machine guns were used to open the way, followed by flamethrowers behind, and the fronts were cleaned up by the enemy, while the flamethrowers were responsible for clearing the fortifications in the trenches, and these underground fortifications were generally used to defend against artillery, and they were relatively strong.

But no matter how strong the passage is, it can't stop the flames.

When the flamethrowers poured flames into these passages, the soldiers inside either became roast pigs or suffocated to death due to the depletion of oxygen.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the battle had been going on for four hours, and the Japanese troops in the southern front trenches had basically been cleared, and there were no longer any living Japanese troops to be seen in all the trenches.

The 150,000 people of the army were at least annihilated by more than 130,000 people, except for those who were defeated, and the trenches in the snow were full of the corpses of the soldiers.

The corpses of some soldiers have been crushed by chariots, but the casualties of the soldiers of the East China Army are very slight, and because they firmly grasp the initiative on the battlefield, the wounded can be carried down well for treatment.

After some counting, the casualties of the East China Army were less than 2,000, but the casualties of the Beiyang Army and the Sichuan Army were relatively large, with a total of more than 3,000 people.

However, most of them are wounded soldiers, and under timely treatment, it is not easy to kill people in the 38 big cover of the book, but if it is through one person to hit the person behind, then the one behind is easy to die.

The casualties of the Beiyang Army were even greater than those of the Sichuan Army, mainly because of Wu Peifu's 'barbaric command', and those who retreated were shot on the spot, and the soldiers of the Beiyang Army could only continue to rush forward under the command.

Although the casualties were larger, the weapons were good, and it was an encirclement and annihilation battle, and the army could not resist it at all.

Such casualties are very normal in the eyes of the Beiyang Army, and only after comparing the casualties of the East China Army will the abnormalities be discovered.

However, at this moment, a group of soldiers appeared in the field.

It was about 60,000 Japanese troops, and in addition to the defeated ones, there were also auxiliary troops of the Japanese army, all of which were mobilized by the Japanese army and sent to death.

This made the Group A Army, which was resting, very excited, and Lin Chenggui wondered, how could the little ghost run up and send him to death? After receiving the news from the air force's reconnaissance plane, Lin Chenggui immediately ordered Group A Army to move forward and annihilate the army.

It's a wilderness encounter!

The first thing to greet the army was artillery and bombers, as well as the attack planes roaring from the sky, and hundreds of locust 1 attack planes swooped down from the sky, and hundreds of machine guns struck fiercely at the marching army below.

Those soldiers belonged to the auxiliary arms, marching in the snow without any cover, and when they encountered the strong attack planes of the air force, the scene was simply turned into a slaughterhouse.

The 03rd Armored Division, which was closest to the scene, hurriedly worked, and when Liu Guodong commanded the armor to arrive at the scene, the 60,000 troops had already been defeated by artillery units and the air force.

Many of the little devils lay upright on the ground, like frightened quails. Some little devils are running wildly in the snow, looking extremely frightened, frightened and crazy.

When the 03rd Armored Division launched a charge, it had turned into a massacre without suspense, with machine guns of combat vehicles on the ground and machine guns of attack aircraft in the sky, and these machine guns were frantically harvesting the lives of the soldiers.

When the chariot rushes through, it is followed by the infantry, who are responsible for solving the fish that have slipped through the net to protect the chariot from being hurt by these fish that have slipped through the net.

These soldiers were defeated, they were only auxiliary troops, and their will to fight was very weak, some of them fled frantically, and some of them raised their hands and surrendered.

The defeated army was quickly caught by the 02nd Armored Division, which outflanked the rear road, and seeing that there was no hope of escape, most of the army also surrendered.

The entire battlefield on the Southern Front, from early morning to noon, the battle was completely over.

Rows of prisoners of the Yue Army were taken down from the front line, and the militia of the East China Army and the Sichuan Army of the second line had been mobilized to start cleaning up the battlefield.

When these second-line troops arrived at the battlefield, they were all shocked to see the scene in front of them, and in just one morning, all the troops on the southern front were swept away, and judging from the corpses on the ground, there were very few corpses of the East China Army, almost all of them were from the army.

Idiots can see that the East China Army has just experienced a big victory, which makes the morale of the second-line troops rise in an instant, especially the Sichuan Army that came to support the national war.

This time they came to Shandong to participate in the war, and they did not experience the kind of life-and-death struggle they expected, but it felt a bit like a vacation, and there was a high military salary, and the food was too good.

Even the regular army had such an idea, and the soldiers of the East China Army were surprised by the low intensity of this war, they basically did not have to go through any hard fighting, the chariot blocked most of the bullets for them, and was able to suppress the army to the death.

Cai Ye looked at the craters and corpses of the soldiers on the battlefield, and knew that there was no suspense in this Sino-Chinese war, and that the new weapon of the East China Army, the chariot, had already locked in the victory of the battle.

This weapon will certainly become an important piece of equipment for the Army in the future, as it breaks the stalemate of trench warfare and returns warfare to the mode of mobile warfare.

Cao Kun sat in a car and walked around the battlefield, looking at the scene in front of him with Wu Peifu, he knew that this time he had made the right choice, and responding to the national war was not to send him to death, but to gain huge benefits.

Not to mention the equipment, just talk about the reputation after the victory, which is enough to make people excited. Those equipment are secondary, with the strength of the East China Army, this equipment can not fight with them, said that China will definitely be the world of East China's political axe, it doesn't matter whether there is any equipment, the most important thing is to establish a friendship with the East China Army, and there will be more room for political maneuver in the future.

The General Command, the Air Force sent back the latest reconnaissance situation.

"Report to the chairman, about 400,000 troops are urgently moving to the southern front." Chen Xuanyu reported to Xia Jun.

"Aren't they going to fight on the Eastern Front?" Xia Jun was stunned and said in wonder.

"Judging from the situation detected by the Air Force, the army has indeed given up its plan to attack the Eastern Front."

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Yue army has given up the offensive plan on the eastern front and is swinging its division on the southern front.

However, it seems that it is too late, and the army on the southern front has already been annihilated.

Xia Jun looked at the map for a while and said: "Since the army has changed its battle plan, we will also change the battle plan, we will not fight the eastern front, we will fight the western front first, and then wave our troops to the east after gathering the C Army to annihilate the main force of the army." ”

Xia Jun's plan was immediately recognized by everyone, and this plan was more secure than the previous one.

The forces of the army on the western and southern fronts were relatively weak, because the forces were transferred to the eastern front, but the eastern front was not attacked, and the southern front was first defeated by the East China Army.

If the East China Army attacks the Western Front first, then it can draw out Army C defending the Western Front, and then assemble the three Army Armies A, B, and C to confront the main force of the Army and completely crush the Army in terms of strength. After the main force of the army was resolved, the army in the trenches on the eastern front was finally resolved, and the whole war basically ended like this.

The two armies A and B, which had been repaired for nearly an hour, soon received a new order - to attack the Western Front!
