Standing on the opposite side of the Ming Empire, the rebels of the Jin State and the Japanese Army could see the subtle changes the most. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe steel helmets of the new army of the Ming Empire no longer have the kind of sharp corners that are the hallmark of the Ming Empire Army, and the military uniforms that originally looked a little loose have become more promoted and spiritual because of the restraint of the H-shaped armed belt.

Of course, this is only a superficial change, in fact, because of the disappearance of the ramming angle, these Ming Empire troops are more difficult to detect when they poke their heads out of the trenches, and the appearance of the H-shaped armed belt also allows these troops to carry more weapons and equipment more reasonably.

These new equipment not only brought changes in appearance to the Ming Imperial Army, but also really improved the combat effectiveness and staying power of these soldiers during combat. When these soldiers accompanied the tanks to attack the rebel positions, it was easier and faster to move, and the more ammunition gave them more confidence to fight strongly.

"Prioritize shooting at the Ming soldiers who use short guns to stop them from firing at you with their weapons! This will effectively reduce casualties and delay the enemy's expansion of the breach, after which reinforcements will immediately launch a counterattack to recapture the breached position...... Remember? On the battlefield, an officer of the Japanese Army pressed his command knife and repeatedly emphasized various precautions.

Because the Troop Mountain was the only remaining defensive position on the west bank of the Liao River, the Japanese Army sent 5,000 men to join the defense of this position. It's not that the Japanese army is ready to fight to the end for the Jin country, but they also really want to really experience the feeling of fighting against the enemy's new army.

For them, it is a learning process, the tuition is the blood and life of the soldiers, and what they learn helps them to better understand the enemy and accumulate valuable lessons for the victory of the next battle. These Japanese troops are all elite officers drawn from various armies, and most of them are even officers with great combat experience.

In order to strengthen the defense near the transfer mountain, both the rebels and the Japanese drew their own elite and provided a lot of small-caliber artillery as anti-tank weapons to support the entire defense line. It was originally a small fortress, but now the rebels have added some permanent fortifications made of steel plates and sandbags.

The trenches were connected to the trenches, the defense line was connected to the defense line, the minefields were dense and a long barbed wire fence was built, an anti-tank trench was temporarily dug in front of the defense line, and machine gun positions were also arranged in the distance to block the Ming Empire infantry who might come forward to fill the trenches.

On the entire defensive line, there were 21,000 Jin soldiers and 5,000 Japanese soldiers, who had to rely on fortifications to stop any attack by the Ming army that tried to capture the Troop Mountain. For the defense line near the small troop transfer mountain, such a number of troops can be said to be a heavy gathering of troops for defense.

The top military officials of the Jin State, including Ye Hehao Lan and Ye He Hao Lian, all regarded the Jiao Troop Mountain defense line as a rehearsal for the offensive and defensive battle of the Liaohe defense line, and only if the Tu Tu Troop Mountain defense line could hold and repel the Ming soldiers, they would believe that the entire defense line was reliable. Of course, the Japanese side also has the intention of finding out the weaknesses of the tank, after all, their current situation does not have the national strength to compete with the Ming Empire in army equipment.

Tension spread among the Japanese and Kim defenders, as they read in the nervous eyes of their commanders that battle was imminent. Recently, the planes of the Ming Empire have frequently appeared near the Troop Mobilization Mountain, which seems to be scouting the entire position, and it seems to be provoking the Jin Air Force.

However, these Ming military planes were extremely cautious, and they never entangled with the Japanese pilots and the Jinguo pilots over the mountain of the troops, and as long as the other side took off the plane to meet them, the Ming army pilots would drive their own planes and turn away, and they had no intention of fighting to the death.

"Sir, are you going to war?" A soldier of the Jin Kingdom held his rifle and asked as his regiment commander inspected the position, as the other party passed in front of him. He looked a little nervous, because in the previous battles, the troops participating in the Jin Kingdom did not end very well......

The commander of the Jin Kingdom did not immediately answer his soldier's question, he raised his head against the edge of the position to look at the quiet Ming army position in the distance, and only replied after a while: "It is speculated that the battle will start today, who knows if it is true...... Fight well! Lad! Jin Guo will definitely win the final victory! ”

On the position of the Ming army in the distance, one after another 150 mm howitzers began to slowly raise their high barrels under the command of the flags waved by the flag commanders in the distance. The well-trained Forces nouvelles artillerymen skillfully swung the wheel that controlled the angle of the artillery, aiming their cannons at the enemy's positions.

The Jin and Japanese military had guessed right, the New Army was indeed planning an offensive, and the goal of the attack was to completely recapture the Diaobing Mountain and wipe out all the enemy forces west of the Liao River. In order to achieve the expected campaign objectives, the headquarters of the Forces nouvelles even mobilized a full 170 tanks of the 1st Panzer Division and 33 tanks of the 1st Panzer Division of the Praetorian Guards to cover the attack of its own infantry.

Covering these two elite armored units was the entire New 3rd Army, where the 3rd Janissary Division was located. This unit has completed the basic rearmament, has a complete set of weapons, and has very good training and combat experience. Counting the artillery and other units directly under the group army that reinforced these troops, the attacking Ming army exceeded 70,000 people.

Such a force had already overwhelmed the defenders in numbers, and likewise had an advantage in all kinds of firepower. Mobilizing so many troops to besiege the defensive line of Jiaobing Mountain was also a gathering of strong forces for the Ming army, and it was determined to win the final victory.

"Reload the shell!" The commander of each Ming artillery roared and gave his own order after seeing the arc drawn by the Ling Qi. The loaders push the shells into the chamber, then the firing charge is fed, the bolt is closed, and the cannon is put into a state of being activated at any time.

The breeze in the open space between the two positions whined across the lawn, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. It seemed to be a moment of silence before a storm, and the Ming soldiers on the front line waiting for the attack were holding cold weapons in their bunkers. They waited with bated breath for the hysterical madness that followed. (To be continued.) )
