Perhaps the artillery of the Northeast Army was lost to the bombing of the fleet's heavy artillery or aircraft, because some ship and aircraft pilots reported that they alone blew up several Northeast Army cannons placed in the open air.

Huo Dingguo took a deep breath, knowing that the next Japanese attack would be more violent. But he had done almost everything he could. For example, he used big trees and wooden wheels to pile up artillery and concentrated the anti-aircraft artillery troops quite a bit.

Some of them were around the hidden artillery positions, waiting to catch fish from the Japanese air force. They implemented a rotation system to control the morale of the Northeast Army soldiers so that a unit would not be frightened by the Japanese attack.

And he also saw that compared to the Northeastern Army, in addition to the advantages of the Japanese army in aircraft and artillery, the tactical literacy of the soldiers was much higher. The coordinated operations between squads, squadrons, and even groups were not comparable to the Northeastern Army.

of.

The only thing the Northeast Army had was the Jinzhou fortification belt, and because of the presence of flat-fire artillery, the Japanese tanks suffered huge losses.

At the end of the day, the Northeast Army troops, which had rotated through three divisions, went to the first line of defense. Although the casualties were heavy, they were not enough to cripple a division.

Several Japanese attacks even reached the first front line of defense. If it had not been defeated by the Northeastern Army who rushed to support through the well-established communication trenches and support trenches, this offensive and defensive battle would have continued from the second line of defense.

On the first day of the attack, the Northeastern Army deployed three divisions with nearly 40,000 troops. Many times, the Northeastern Army only used people to block the Japanese offensive momentum.

As a result of Zhang Xueliang's supervision of the battle on the front line, he personally ordered the supervising team to "shoot" two companies of deserters, shocking the scene. At the same time, he once again took the lead and encouraged the soldiers to fight against the Japanese army, and the entire situation gradually stabilized.

On this day, the Japanese army invested an entire division. Although the Northeast Army suffered more in terms of battle losses, it finally relied on this defense that took three or four months to build and blocked the Japanese attack on the first day.

.

"Sacrifice is inevitable. Blocking the Japanese army from moving south will buy time for the whole of China." When Huo Dingguo saw Zhang Xueliang obsessed with the preliminary casualty statistics, he shook his head slightly and sighed.

He is also very aware of his responsibilities. Whether it is to persuade Zhang Xueliang with his command and combat capabilities, or to use arms and currency to make Marshal Zhang surrender, his most important task is to make Zhang Xueliang unswervingly fight against the Japanese and win as much victory as possible.

.

In order to counter the raging Japanese aircraft, the anti-aircraft guns specially approved by General Zhang will surprise the unwary Japanese troops in future operations. In order to counter the Japanese artillery, nearly 300 artillery pieces were hidden in fortifications outside the city or in the woods.

Artillery with a caliber of 75mm or above will perform miraculous feats after the Japanese army launches a larger-scale attack.

He will make full use of the advantages of the large number of soldiers and solid fortifications in Northeast China to assist Zhang Xueliang in blocking the Japanese army.

Jinzhou, no matter what, must block the Japanese, not only for the sake of the Chinese, but also for Zhang Xueliang himself, and for the future counterattack of the entire nation.

I feel that the subscriptions have dropped in the past two days, so I have adjusted my writing ideas. This chapter of the war in the Northeast is here, and the next chapter will completely return to the southwest content. I will write two or three chapters about the Northeast War, mainly to prepare for the entire war process. It may be on the weekend
Chapter completed!
