After receiving the report of Lieutenant General Yuan Shou, Lieutenant General Yoshio Last Month, who had been in contact with the two divisions on the Qikou front line and had never been able to contact him by radio, was also taken aback. Why did his two divisions on the front line of Qikou fight like this when they first entered the ground battle?

On the first day of the real ground operation, it was surrounded by a cluster of enemy tanks and cut off the connection between them. This first day of battle is like this, how will the next battle be fought? If this situation continues, the 9th Division and the 44th Division, which are already unable to protect themselves, will no longer need to cooperate in frontal combat. The two divisions that were fighting head-on were basically waiting for others to save them.

Although as early as the time of the landing, one after another fell for the enemy's tricks. The group of ships involved in the battle of the Navy suffered heavy losses, and the troops that were landing also suffered heavy losses under the sudden shelling of the enemy. It has already been understood that this landing operation may not have too good results.

But last month, Lieutenant General Liangfu still didn't expect that after just one day of fierce fighting, the Qikou battlefield would become like this. Two tank divisions, what did the base camp think about, and actually let two infantry divisions go to fight with two tank divisions. Can this be the same thing?

The base camp was pumping its heads, and the two tank divisions hurriedly ordered the troops to dispatch without finding out where they were. How was the intelligence of the North China Front collected? The enemy deployed so many artillery troops, so many aviation troops, and even heavy bombers in the Qikou battlefield, that they didn't know anything before.

Even if the artillery can be hidden, the amount of materials needed to support such a large-scale operation can be said to be piled up, but this has not been found. So many enemy situations have not been figured out, and the base camp is so hasty, even wishful thinking, and hurriedly launched a counterattack, is it possible that the heads of the people in the staff headquarters are funny?

It's good now, this battle is like this, and the calculation of the base camp can be said to be a complete loss. Whatever the base camp's calculations were, he could make that calculation go to hell right away. But his two divisions are still on the front line of Qikou, and it is not safe to do so. I can't think of a way, I'm afraid it's not far from the destruction of the whole army.

His army is just two divisions, if it is really all folded in Qikou. He, the freshly baked army commander, had to be kicked out before he was in a hot position under his buttocks. The key is that the whole army was wiped out in the first fight with the Anti-Japanese Federation, and he didn't even think about his future future. What's it called?

It's just that what makes Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, who is even more worried about his heart, is that at present, except for a guard squadron beside him, there is not a single soldier in his hands, and he has basically become a bare-bones commander. Even the perimeter guard of the army headquarters had to be provided by the local garrison in Yantai, and even if he wanted to rescue, he could only be powerless.

In desperation, he was still unable to get in touch with the 44th Division, and he did not know that Lieutenant General Sekihara No. 6 had been killed, and the 44th Division was now in a state of leaderlessness. While constantly trying to contact Lieutenant General Sekihara 6, he ordered the 44th Division to move closer to the 9th Division.

On the one hand, he sent a telegram to the commander of the North China Front Army who went up to the base camp and China, asking them to find a way to reinforce the Qikou battlefield. The Qikou battlefield was fought like this, and the base camp that played a very bad game of chess, and the North China Front, which had an extremely dysfunctional sense of smell, bore the brunt of the responsibility. If they don't come forward to clean up this mess at this time, who else can come forward?

If it were not for the port of Yantai, except for the wooden ships of the Chinese, there would have been no ships that could be used to carry large troops. He will kick the 48th Division stationed in Yantai, plus the field supplementary team, directly to Qikou. As for whether the 12th Army, which is responsible for commanding the Shandong battlefield, will agree, it is not something that he can manage at the moment.

However, Vice Admiral Yoshio Kamitsuki, who personally experienced the naval fleet and traveled to hell on the Qikou Sea the day before. It is also clear that the navy, which has suffered heavy losses this time, will not be able to send ships to support the army in the operation. And the landing ships in the hands of the army on the mainland are now basically thrown on the coast of Qikou. If you want to transport new troops, you can only send back ships from the South Seas.

But wait until those ships break through the blockade of US submarines, rush to the mainland to load troops slowly, and rush to Bohai Bay in a slow manner. This series of actions has been completed, and according to the development of today's battle situation, the bones of the two divisions on the front line of Qikou have been cold for a long time.

But knowing that the base camp is at least for a short time, it is impossible to give him any reinforcements. What is more clear is that in a short period of time, if reinforcements are not mobilized for the Qikou front, I am afraid that those two divisions will not last long. They were confronted with two tank divisions, plus numerous heavy artillery clusters and a large number of infantry. Not to mention that most of the heavy equipment has been lost, even if it is fully loaded, it is not an opponent.

Although it shows that the reinforcements from the base camp are known, it is impossible to have them in a short period of time. But last month, Liangfu knew that it was not impossible for the troops around the Qikou battlefield to reinforce Qikou in a short period of time. The 120th Division on the front line of Leling was not far from the straight-line distance of the Qikou battlefield.

If the 120th Division can break through the enemy's blockade in front of it, there is still great hope of rescuing the 9th and 44th Divisions. Although the 120th Division has been attacking for quite some time, it has not been able to make any major progress. So far, it is still fighting with the anti-United Nations in person, and the casualties are not light, but after all, it is the closest division to Qikou.

The only thing that gave him a headache was the 120th Division, which was not under the command of his 47th Army, but was subordinate to the 12th Army. In order to save the two divisions in his hands from the catastrophe, Yoshio sent a telegram to Senior General Okamura Ninji and Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro last month, hoping that they would urge the 120th Division to speed up its actions.

In order to urge the Twelfth Army to send troops, Ryoo Kazuki, who was anxious to fish out his two divisions, even used a pleading tone in the telegram. It is hoped that the 12th Army can find a way to provide support to the Qikou battlefield in the shortest possible time. Even a division, even a brigade.

But at the moment, he is trying to rescue his two divisions, and he is working hard to do it. Even if the 120th Division can break through the resistance in front of the United Nations, perhaps the 9th Division will be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive. But the 44th Division, which he had never been able to reach, was unlikely to hold out until reinforcements he might have in store arrived.

Compared with the two battlefields of the calm Sun Zhengzhuang and the somewhat weird Tiger Wolf Village, the first line of the Three Tiger Villages, which is located on the southernmost side of the entire Qikou battlefield, is extremely exciting. Of course, this wonderful is relative to the Anti-United Nations, and for the 44th Division, it can only be said to be a complete disaster.

Although the sky had gradually darkened, Du Kaishan, who was adhering to the vigor of the city, did not stop the attack on the front line of the Three Tigers. On the contrary, as night fell, his offensive power became more and more fierce. With the help of flares, the tanks continued to fire at the Japanese fire.

The infantry, on the other hand, used the typical anti-union tactics of three groups and one team, under the cover of rocket launchers, recoilless guns and explosives, and large-caliber machine guns, to attack the remaining positions of the 44th Division. Interspersed, divided, annihilated, and the remnants of the 44th Division were eaten in one bite.

The entire battlefield of Sanhuzhuang was illuminated by groups of rising flares and several high-power searchlights transferred by Du Kaishan. The dense sound of gunfire can be clearly heard more than a dozen kilometers away. At present, the 44th Division, which has collapsed its will, is only passively resisting. In other words, the 44th Division is now on the verge of total collapse.

At this time, the war progressed, and in fact, there was no suspense on the battlefield of Sanhuzhuang. The progress of the battlefield in Sanhuzhuang went smoothly, which obviously made Du Kaishan breathe a sigh of relief. Although Sun Zhengzhuang's battle dragged on for a while, the progress of the entire battle was still according to his own plan.

The No. 1 order to suspend the attack on the first line of Sun Zhengzhuang, change the attack from a strong attack to a siege, and take prisoners as much as possible on the Japanese naval officers and men on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang. Although Du Kaishan was also confused, he didn't know the real reason why No. 1 did this, but in the end he didn't dare to violate it.

This order was given by No. 1 by phone in person, so that No. 1 could be at a time when the war on the Western Front was tense. Personally hanging up this long-distance phone call for himself also shows that No. 1 attaches great importance to these Japanese naval soldiers. Although this order felt tricky to him, in the end, it was carried out immediately without discount.

Fortunately, although Sun Zhengzhuang's Japanese navy was a little more tenacious, it did not have many troops in itself, and after a day of fierce fighting, there were few of them. Even if they are trapped for the time being, it will not affect the direction of the battle. Since No. 1 let these sailors go, he has nothing to say, and it is basically the same to deal with the 44th Division first.

As for Sun Zhengzhuang's front line, since No. 1 said that the headquarters would take over, it would be better not to participate in it. It would not be good if one of them was not careful and wiped out the Japanese troops on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang. In fact, as early as after receiving Yang Zhen's order, Du Kaishan's cousin was not much better than the head of Sun Zhengzhuang's front line.

In this kind of life-and-death battlefield, facing the tenacious army of the Japanese army. It's easy to say that they were killed, but this is not enough for them to run away, and they can't kill or injure too much, which is a bit embarrassing. So after receiving the order from No. 1, Du Kaishan, who didn't want to be in batches, obeyed the order very happily.

However, when Yang Zhen transferred people from the headquarters and rushed to his headquarters, Du Kaishan was also very surprised. Among them were not only the three squadrons of the Special Operations Command, but also a group of technicians from the Equipment Department, as well as several Japanese Navy junior officers who were captured in the Tianjin battlefield.

Moreover, the group of people sent by the headquarters was actually led by Han Renhe, political commissar of the Special Operations Command. Such a high specification made Du Kaishan's originally plain heart a little curious. The Japanese army on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang, except for the navy, seems to have nothing special.

No matter how fierce the battle in North China was, the units under the Special Operations Command had never been engaged in any battlefield except for a part of the Beiping battlefield. This time, No. 1 actually sent three squadrons at once, and they were personally led and commanded by political commissar Han Renhe, which couldn't help but increase Du Kaishan's interest.

It's just that after arriving at Du Kaishan's headquarters, Han Renhe did not rush to take action, nor did he give any explanation. Instead, it was not until he personally commanded the battlefield east of Sanhuzhuang and surrounded and annihilated the remnants of the 93rd Wing, the commander of the Bohai Naval Region, that he had a small short meeting with Du Kaishan, the commander of the Bohai Military Region, and a lieutenant colonel who came with him.

At the meeting, Han Renhe bluntly proposed that he hoped that the Bohai Naval Region would select a number of cadres and fighters who were qualified in the administration of the Bohai Bay, who were familiar with the situation in the Bohai Bay, and who were proficient in manipulating the ships, and that they would find a way to collect a few larger ships and cooperate with these technicians he had brought with him to board the sunken and destroyed Japanese warships in the Bohai Bay, but dismantle some technical equipment.
