In the Shandong battlefield, after the Third Fleet of the Chinese Army was almost completely annihilated, the command immediately decided on a new offensive.

At this time, the army had not yet been assembled on the front line of Laizhou, and a large number of soldiers were still staying in the Longkou area, and the army had only assembled 40,000 people in Laizhou, most of whom were still logistics personnel of the army.

These 40,000 people were also killed by the ferocious artillery fire of the East China Army, and the exact number is unknown, but with the destruction of the Third Fleet, the end of these 40,000 troops has also arrived.

The army was only 40,000 troops, and the trenches originally dug on the Laizhou line could only block the mountainous areas in the southeast, while the coastline in the northwest was very weak in defense, but with the assistance of the Third Fleet, it was also relatively solid. Now that the Third Fleet is gone, the northwestern line of defense looks a little ridiculous.

At 4 p.m. on 9 October, East China launched a fierce artillery attack on the Laizhou front-line army, and this time the artillery fire was even more intense.

The artillery fire continued until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the defense line in the northwest of the Yue army was directly torn open by fierce artillery fire, and then the bomber units also went out in groups to launch a comprehensive bombardment of the Yue army on the front line of Laizhou.

At 5 o'clock, the 1st East China Army took the lead in launching an attack along the coastline to the Laizhou Army.

―――――― please resist piracy and support genuine copies. The arrogance of piracy is really arrogant, he secretly pirates it, and the piracy of Baidu Tieba also ran to QQ to ask Xiaocai for this and that, so that they can fight by hand, Xiaocai really wants to scold his mother.

Xiaocai went to Baidu to complain, but the reply was purely done by netizens, and a proper website has done so badly, it is really a lack of virtue for eight lifetimes.

If you can't support the genuine version, please don't go to Baidu Sticker! Thanks!

The subscription of all students is the motivation of the side dishes!

As soon as ―――――― Yue's army crawled out of the bombed trenches, they were immediately hit by fierce fire, and the snipers of the First Army made a great show on the battlefield and knocked out the firing points of the trenches one by one.

Mortars were also used in this attack, and the ferocious fire hit the remnants of the trenches that did not dare to take the lead, but the three divisions of the First Army had already pressed up.

Without any suspense, the First Army tore a hole in the coastline.

The First Army, which had torn apart the defense line of the Yue Army, began to outflank the rear of the Yue Army, while the Second Army took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the front of the Yue Army.

Artillery and bombers bombed the Chinese army indiscriminately, and now they were flanked by the East China Army from both sides. The combat quality of the 40,000 troops on the front line of Laizhou was not very good, so they immediately asked their superiors for instructions and asked to retreat.

However, the army could not tolerate the defeat of Laizhou, because the first division had already reached Longkou, and as long as the Laizhou front line could support one night, the first division would be able to support Laizhou.

The newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Shandong Theater of the Yue Army, Kaga Sanyou, severely reprimanded the commanders of the Yue Army on the front line of Laizhou, telling them to stick to the Laizhou defense line even if they died.

Judging from the commanders of the army, it is unlikely that the East China Army will launch a night battle, and there should be no problem in holding out for one night.

However, the army was a big mistake; in all the exercises of the East China Army, there has always been no shortage of night exercises, and the East China Army dared to launch an attack in the evening, and it was already ready for a night battle.

As night fell, the East China Army fired a large number of flares.

The battlefield was illuminated as if it were daylight, and the artillery fire continued continuously, which put the army in an extremely unfavorable state.

Because there were not many flares in the army, the flares of the East China Army hit their heads, but they could not see the shadow of the East China Army, but the East China Army could see the Yue Army in the trenches.

The position of the army is fixed, that is, the trench.

If the army left the trenches, then they would soon be annihilated, but if they did not leave the trenches, they became the targets of the East China Army again.

This made the army on the front line of Laizhou seem extremely passive. This is especially the case of a two-sided attack.

The battle lasted until nine o'clock, and the First Army had completed the outflanking and launched an attack on the back of the Yue Army, and as soon as the First Army attacked, the Second Army also launched a real attack.

Soon, the defense line of the Yue army was completely shattered under the blow of the two bread clamps, and the 40,000 Yue army was divided into pieces by the East China Army.

The two sides began to strangle together, and the Yue army rose up in the dying struggle to fight with the East China Army for bayonets, but the East China Army rarely fought with the Yue Army for bayonets, because the East China Army was equipped with a large number of light machine guns and submachine guns.

But when dawn came, all the first-line troops in Laizhou were annihilated except for more than 3,000 people in Laizhou City.

The morale of the East China Army was like a rainbow, and it once again took Laizhou City in one fell swoop.

The Yue army in Laizhou City tied up a bunch of people to make meat shields, trying to use such despicable means to drive the East China army to submission, but it was cannonballs that answered them.

The East China Army will never give in under such means, and once it gives in, it will have a second time, and if there is a second time, it will have a third time.

War always kills people!

This is not a child's house, if you tolerate it because of this, you will commit several taboos written in the Art of War.

Although the East China Army could not do the ruthlessness of later Russia when dealing with terrorist hostage-taking, it would never give in in the war.

As soon as Laizhou City was launched, the East China Army immediately killed the captured Yue troops in the city.

The 1st Division of the Yue Army, which had marched overnight, hurriedly began to retreat after learning that the Yue Army on the front line of Laizhou had been annihilated.

The biggest mistake made by the Yue army in Shandong was the tactic of adding oil, not that the army wanted to add oil, but that the East China Army did not give them the opportunity to gather superior forces.

At this time, the 1st Division collided with it, and there was no artillery support, which was undoubtedly self-defeating.

Kaga Sanyu hurriedly withdrew the 1st Division to the Longkou area, which also has mountainous areas, and the terrain is very similar to Laizhou, but this time the army has more troops, and it is completely possible to lay a strong defensive line in Longkou to wait for the main force to assemble.

As long as enough forces are gathered at Ryuguchi, then a counteroffensive can be carried out, and Kaga Miyu needs time to adjust.

On the side of the East China Army, the losses in the field battle were also counted, and the two divisions actually lost more than 200 people killed and more than 1,500 wounded in yesterday's field battle.

If it weren't for the fact that he took the initiative on the battlefield and the rescue of the wounded was carried out in a relatively timely manner, the number of casualties would probably not be like this.

However, the death of more than 200 people also made the command feel not very satisfied.

Having broken through the defense line of the Yue Army in Laizhou, the East China Army rested and began to advance. On September 10, he advanced to the front line of Longkou and confronted the Yue army again.

The follow-up troops of the East China Army arrived one after another, and the Third Army also rushed to the battlefield.

The artillery battle first broke out on the Longkou line, and the two howitzer divisions of the East China Army and the artillery of the Yue Army launched an artillery bombardment.

The artillery concepts of both sides are relatively similar, that is, before the decisive battle of the infantry, fire at the opponent's artillery unit, even if it cannot destroy the opponent's artillery, even if it is meaningful to kill and injure the opponent's horses.

However, artillery cannot be completely destroyed, so when the infantry fights a decisive battle, the artillery fire mainly beckons to the opposing infantry.

At the moment, both sides are digging trenches, and the battle of the artillery units is naturally on the verge of breaking out.

However, to the shock of the artillery of the Chinese army, the artillery on the opposite side showed an extremely rapid response, and often when a single artillery piece opened fire, it would attract a joint attack by one company or even several artillery companies.

At the same time, bombers and reconnaissance planes of the East China Army were busily dispatched.

The reconnaissance planes guided the artillery units in the rear, while the bombers bombed the artillery in all directions.

The East China Army has made full use of air supremacy.

The artillery of the East China Army was able to react so quickly and quickly assemble superior artillery fire because they had advanced battlefield communication equipment.

It is not a big secret that the army fought two battles with the East China Army in Shandong, and also knew that the East China Army was equipped with walkie-talkies.

However, the army did not have walkie-talkies at all, and their communications relied on radio and messenger transmission, and their artillery could only rely on tacit understanding to cooperate in artillery battles.

The tacit understanding of the artillery of the army is good, but this is not as fast as the use of walkie-talkies by the East China Army.

At the same time, the bombers and reconnaissance planes in the sky made the artillery of the Chinese army fall into extreme passivity, and as soon as they were discovered, aerial bombs would be dropped from the sky immediately.

The artillery battle lasted only half a day, and the army lost most of its artillery. The artillery losses of the East China Army were very small, and they basically completely defeated the artillery of the Yueben Army.

The artillery began to stop firing back, but to hide the artillery fire for use at critical moments.

The artillery of the East China Army is constantly pouring shells on the Longkou line, anyway, how many shells there are, they can rest assured that they just don't overheat the barrel, otherwise the life of the artillery will be greatly affected.

However, the logistics unit soon sent thousands of artillery barrels, which immediately dispelled the concerns of the artillery unit, but the artillery still took great care of artillery, and the artillery bombardment in peacetime was still neither fast nor slow, and carried out uninterrupted strikes on the Longkou front-line army.

As a result, the Longkou army suffered heavy casualties.

Their trenches were far from being fully dug and the army could only dig them under artillery fire.

The snipers of the East China Army were six or seven hundred meters away, and as soon as the soldiers came up, a bullet hit and their heads were shattered.

Some snipers were closer to the trenches, some reaching more than 400 meters, after all, the distance was too far to be hit by a gun. The army did not have a sniper rifle, so it suffered a lot, and the counter-sniper could only rely on their feelings to hit the opposite side, and sometimes they could also hit a few snipers.

However, the snipers of the East China Army are not dispatched alone, if the snipers of the East China Army are collectively designed, then blood will inevitably be spattered on the spot, and four or five dead people may not be able to kill a sniper, plus the snipers of the East China Army are very cautious, basically they will change places after a few shots, so that the Yue Army will not be able to figure out where the bullets are coming from.

The elusive sniper terrified the soldiers in the trenches.

What terrified the soldiers in the trenches even more was the 60mm caliber mortars of the East China Army, and this kind of trench confrontation gave each platoon a great opportunity to train mortars.

Training in peacetime is not like warfare, there are endless shells.

Moreover, the artillery of the Yue army was silent, and these mortars could safely shell the Yue army, but the Yue army could only be beaten passively, and the firing range of 2,700 meters made the Yue army have no way to return fire.

The infantry artillery of the army could not hit that far.

Moreover, as soon as the infantry artillery showed its head, it would immediately launch a heavy artillery attack from the mortar and the howitzers behind the East China Army.

One of the advantages of these mortars is that they can hit the trenches, and the shells will fall into the trenches after a parabolic movement.

The soldiers in the trenches were hit by snipers when they first appeared, and they were hit by mortar artillery if they did not come forward, which caused some mental disorders among the soldiers in the trenches.

The arrogance of the Yue army was often based on the weak resistance of the opponent, and the East China Army firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, causing the morale of the Yue army to fall again and again, and to fall again and again.
