However, at this time, the artillery resistance group is no longer implementing comprehensive firepower coverage. Rather, according to the range and accuracy, the targets of their respective fire preparations were locked. The Japanese observation post on the front line, braving the intensive artillery fire of the Anti-United Nations, raised their heads and was shocked to find that they didn't know when, the artillery of the Anti-United Nations actually pushed the artillery under their noses.

The anti-union artillery used this tactic of bayonets on cannons, using white phosphorus shells to open the way for the follow-up infantry little by little. The infantry, on the other hand, under the cover of artillery fire, direct firepower, and light and heavy machine guns, carried out a comprehensive penetrating attack on the Japanese positions. By 1 p.m. on the 15th, the Japanese front-line positions had completely collapsed.

Seeing the huge and even somewhat brutal lethality of the White Phosphorus Bomb used by the Anti-Japanese Union, the deputy chief of staff of the Central Military Commission and several senior commanders of the Central Military Commission, who were supervising the war on the front line, felt that this weapon was a little too vicious. But looking at Yang Zhen's expressionless face after receiving the report on the battle situation on the front line. The deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything.

Although the deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission tried his best to hide his thoughts, Yang Zhen could still see the thoughts hidden under the expression on his face. But for Yang Zhen, none of these things mattered. Just like some senior cadres of the Central Military Commission talked about him in private after watching the documentary on the bombing of Tokyo, these are not things that Yang Zhen cares about.

Whatever others think, he won't force it. For Yang Zhen, he firmly follows his own path, and as for what others think, he doesn't care at all. That's how it is in war, there is no morality to talk about. History is written by the winners, not by the losers. Most people in this world value results, and few people are interested in the process.

Let the Japanese, the evil wolf lurking on the side of the Chinese couch, get a lesson that will never be forgotten. Let them mention the Chinese, and they will be shaking their legs for several lifetimes, which is what Yang Zhen wants to do the most. Only when the beating hurts, will you really have a memory, right? He Yang Zhen is not Song Xianggong, let alone Song Xianggong.

He wouldn't mind too much about using any effective means on the Japanese. Although the white phosphorus bomb is a bit inhumane, who will tell you humanity on the battlefield? It's true that it's a little vicious, but isn't the Japanese poisonous gas vicious? But don't they use it the same way, quite happily?

Although the killing effect of white phosphorus bombs is inhumane and the means are somewhat vicious, the effect is excellent against the Japanese army's field fortifications and semi-permanent fortifications, and the cost is very low, and the production process is not complicated. The rat-like Japanese army was good at building fortification groups, and this white phosphorus bomb was specially developed for them.

And judging from the battle report on the first day, the effect of these white phosphorus bombs is still obvious. The real power of this thing is actually not that big. However, the relatively terrifying lethality of this weapon and the psychological damage caused to the enemy army are far higher than the actual combat power, and this is where the real power of this weapon lies. Whether it is humane or not, it can have an effect, and that's fine.

When he received the reports of various divisions and brigades on the front line, Okamura Ninji was keenly aware that this offensive of the Anti-United Nations was not a previous bluff. Not only did it really come, but judging from the situation of the entire northern front, the focus was on its own North China Front.

After receiving the report from the front, Okamura Ninji gave orders to all divisions and regiments on the Pingjin front to defend the line of Miyun, Shunyi, Pinggu, Jixian, and Yutian. He knew that if he could not take advantage of the mountainous terrain of this line, he would weaken the enemy's offensive strength as much as possible. Once the anti-Japanese coalition broke into the plain between Pingjin and Tianjin, then what awaited the Japanese army was likely to be a tank cluster charge.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the number of tanks dispatched by the Anti-Union on the first day of fighting was limited. However, Okamura Ninji has always been faintly worried in his heart, and the tank troops of the Anti-Japanese Union going south may far exceed the number judged by intelligence, and last year's war is a lesson from the past.

Bluffing, striking, the real target of attack will never be in the first place. Always when you are confused, after your energy has been attracted past, you will stab yourself in the soft underbelly coldly, and the opponent has played this tactic very skillfully.

Therefore, he should make use of the mountainous terrain north of the Pingjin Railway as much as possible to block the offensive of the Anti-United Nations as much as possible and weaken the strength of the living forces invested by the Anti-United Nations in the first wave of the offensive. Ensure the second-line defensive position, which can completely block the real offensive of the Anti-United Nations, and strive for the most favorable opportunity for the whole line to turn into an offensive.

Despite the fact that his first line of defense was crumbled on the first day of the fight. However, Okamura Ninji sternly ordered the commanders of all divisions and brigades on the front line not to use the reserves in their hands. All units must closely maintain horizontal communication with each other, and once the enemy breaks through in a certain direction, they must not be afraid of being divided and encircled. There is a breakthrough, and from there a counterattack is launched on the spot.

In every position, you have to fight until the last person remains. Even if they are seriously wounded, as long as they are still angry, they must hold out on to the front line. As an Imperial Warrior, it is an infinitely glorious task to die on the battlefield for the Emperor. All units must carry forward the glorious traditions of the Imperial Army and fight the Chinese people to the end.

Despite the heavy casualties of the Japanese army, the divisions and brigades on the front line constantly asked him for reinforcements. However, after several considerations, Okamura Ningji finally did not mobilize the independent 8th Mixed Brigade deployed in Pingxi, let alone the 17th Division and the 48th Division in depth, and he was still waiting for the real killing tactics of the Anti-Japanese Federation to be used.

Even on the third day of the battle, faced with the loss of Huairou and the siege of Shunyi, a regiment of the Anti-Japanese Union had already reached the Goryeo battalion. On the battlefield north of Tianjin on the Eastern Front, the vanguard of the Anti-Japanese Union had already entered Fengrun and penetrated directly into the Lutai line, basically completing the situation of separating the North China Front Army from the Kwantung Army.

The Central Line of Resistance has completed the encirclement of Fenggu and seized Jixian County, and the defense in depth of the Central Line has been exposed to the attack forces of the United Nations. He also only mobilized the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Laishui to Yi County, and immediately took a train to reinforce Pingbei District. Order the defenders between Tianjin and Pingjin to hold the second-line position.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the first brigade of this independent mixed group had just received an order and was rapidly assembling the opportunity. Suddenly, it was attacked by a large number of North China communist troops in the western mountains. The 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, which was unprepared, was cut into three sections from west to east in a short time.

And at the same time that Okamura Ninji was dazed by this sudden blow. Between the Yongding River and the Pingsui Railway in Pingxi, no less than one reinforced division of anti-coalition troops suddenly appeared, tearing through the Japanese defense line at Nankou in one fell swoop. Killing from the flank, he put on a posture of detouring the flanks of the front-line garrisons of Miyun, Shunyi, and Pinggu.

At the same time that the 8th Brigade was independently mixed into a chaotic situation by this sudden attack of the enemy. From the Yongding River Valley on the flank of Changping, a place that no one thought could become the direction of mechanized troops, a tank unit suddenly came out, with the cooperation of the cavalry cluster, and suddenly appeared on the line from Mentougou to Sanjiadian.

Under the frontal assault and the flank tank cluster assault, the independent 8th Mixed Brigade was responsible for the defense of the Pingxi strip. The entire line of defense was torn apart. Under the fierce offensive of the enemy, the beaten retreated. The 8th Independent Mixed Brigade, which was unprepared, had lost all the commanding heights west of Mentougou.

In the face of the anti-United Nations tank troops that suddenly came out from the flank, although he had a certain amount of preparation in his heart, Okamura Ning was still dumbfounded. Last year's anti-United Nations tank troops crossed the Yinshan Mountains and suddenly slaughtered Suinan and Suizhong, tearing apart the entire defense line of the Mongolian garrison in Tun and directly causing the loss of the battle examples in northern Shanxi and Suiyuan.

In this defensive operation, he did not relax his defense because most of the terrain north of the Pingjin Railway was mountainous and the tanks of the confrontation alliance were interspersed with combat defense. It was only the focus of the defense that was placed on the line of Changping, Shunyi and Huairou, which were connected by highway to Rehe and Chanan.

Along the highway between Nankou and Changping, he painstakingly built a large number of anti-tank obstacles and set up a number of anti-tank positions along the road. When setting up a defensive position in the northwest direction of Ping, Okamura Ninji obviously drew on the experience of more than 30 tanks invested by the Japanese army in the battle of Nankou that broke out shortly after the 77 Incident.

In that battle, the poorly equipped Chinese government army and the local miscellaneous army used the terrain on the front line of Nankou to effectively contain the Japanese tank offensive. In the end, the Japanese broke through the Chinese army's defense line, and only by relying on the infantry flank supported by heavy artillery did they force the Chinese defenders at Nankou to retreat and seize the strategic Nankou.

The more than 30 tanks that were put into operation were too narrow to move effectively because of the narrow routes available for action and the complex terrain. Instead of playing the expected role, they suffered heavy losses in the face of the few anti-tank guns of the Chinese army. It could only remain behind, as a reserve and a means of preventing night attacks by Chinese troops.

According to Okamura Ninji's idea, no matter how good your tank tactics are, you must have a road to use. In your battle of Yinshan last year, you concentrated a tank division and a large number of mechanized troops to cross Yinshan, at least the main force also took the road connecting Suinan and Suibei together with Yinshan. Although the mountain roads are too simple, they are also roads.

The entire line of Jundu Mountain and Yanshan Mountain is steep and abnormal, there is a lack of roads in the mountains, and there are not many terrain that is even slightly flat. No matter how many tanks you have and how good your tactics are, you won't be able to use them unless you can climb steep peaks or rely on limited mountain roads. The power of the tank is indeed huge, but the movement of this weapon also requires terrain cooperation.

The highway in the northwest of Pingxi can only pass through Juyong Pass, through Nankou, Changping and Shahe. As for the rest of the place, it is simply impossible for tanks to pass. This is not a Yin Mountain, although it is steep and there are a few passes that can be passed. Moreover, although the east-west direction of Yinshan Mountain is very long, the width of the north-south is very narrow.

In addition to entering the Yongguan in the northwest of Pingxi, the entire Pingxi area and the south of Chanan and the north of Jin are almost all steep mountains. The direction of the mountains here, regardless of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, is not tens of kilometers but hundreds of kilometers. Except for limited roads and large armored forces, it is simply impossible to cross any mountainous area.

Therefore, the focus of Okamura Ningji's defense was placed on the Pingbei line. In addition to the road from Nankou to Shahe, the main deployment for Pingxi was to guard against the North China Communist Army. The focus is on the line of Xishan and Tangshan on both sides of the kilometer from Nankou to Changping, but he didn't think of what he missed, but he just came to something.

This tank and cavalry group of the Anti-Japanese Union avoided his strong defensive positions from Nankou to Changping, as well as the flank covering positions of Xishan, and avoided the bitter battles for each key point in Xishan one after another. Suddenly killing along the Yongding River Valley, which no one expected, was indeed quite unexpected by him, and caught him off guard.
