The Japanese army was in a state of full defense, and a large number of soldiers all went to the walls of the fortress to prevent the PLA from sneaking up on the fortress.Please search and read the most complete and updated novel Hiratani Hachiro and his chief of staff all thought of going together, and they all firmly believed that the People's Liberation Army had penetrated more than 1,000 kilometers into the grassland, and they must have not come with sufficient supply equipment.They believed that the purpose of the PLA was to achieve a decisive battle by breaking through the Japanese fortresses with their superior firepower.Both Hachiro Hiratani and Ikeda believe that if they delay this period of time, they will inevitably bring down the PLA.Don't fight them and let their logistical supply lines break automatically.At that time, the People's Liberation Army, which lacked food and clothing, would not need the Japanese army to attack, and would retreat on its own.Moreover, Hiratani Hachiro has always believed that the Haramura Cavalry Brigade sent by him has successfully gone to the rear of the People's Liberation Army.As long as Haramura can lead troops to raid the rear supply front of the PLA, then the PLA that temporarily has the upper hand will inevitably face defeat.But he still didn't dare to be careless, and Hiratani Hachiro knew that with the strength of his Mongol army, it was simply not enough to be an enemy of the PLA.At the moment, they are only relying on strong fortifications to resist the attack of the PLA, but the fortifications will always be breached one day.If then, what will they use to resist the offensive of the PLA.Therefore, Hiratani Hachiro immediately asked for help from the Kwantung Army and the Central China Dispatch Army at the same time, and reported his situation here to his base camp in Japan.He was also eager to contact the various Mongolian tribes under his control and let them attack the PLA from the periphery.Unfortunately, the Mongolian tribes did not have radio or other transmission equipment, and when they were surrounded, they could not transmit the news to the leaders of the Mongolian tribes on the other side of the steppe.After everything was arranged, Hachiro Hiratani was a little relieved.The fortress was stockpiled with enough food and drink for the troops for three months, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition, enough to hold the fortress for three months.As long as the People's Liberation Army does not bombard them with artillery all day and night, then Hachiro Hiratani is confident that he can hold this March.Three months later, either the PLA ran out of ammunition and food and retreated, or its own reinforcements arrived, and finally the inside and outside joined forces to defeat the PLA troops.When Hachiro Hiratani thought of this, although he was unwilling, he was no longer so panicked.Two days have passed, and the artillery fire of the PLA has not been heard again.This made Hiratani Hachiro completely relieved, he believed that it must be that the PLA shells had run out or had reached the limit, otherwise how could it be impossible not to fire for two days.Moreover, so many main forces of the People's Liberation Army drove to the depths of the grassland, and the materials they carried were bound not to be very large.Hachiro Hiratani believes that they must have shot up all the bombs.Another two days passed, and the People's Liberation Army outside the fortress did not move at all, and Hachiro Hiratani began to be proud.If the PLA does not attack, they can only finally withdraw from the grassland.Early in the morning of the fifth day, there was a sudden knock on his door.Hachiro Hiratani instantly got up from the bed, put on some clothes and rushed out of the house.Chief of Staff Ikeda and several senior officers were all waiting outside his house at this time, and Ikeda said with an anxious face: "Your Excellency Commander, go to the city wall and take a look, it's not good, something is wrong" Hiratani Hachiro's face jumped inexplicably, looking at the bitter expressions of Ikeda and several senior officers, he immediately realized that something was wrong.I didn't even have time to put on my clothes, so I ran out with a few people.The military vehicle led them to the city wall, and Hiratani Hachiro jumped down without waiting for the car to stop, and trotted towards the city wall.The devils along the way gave way one after another, and a bitter look appeared on everyone's faces, as if they had encountered the end of the world.Hachiro Hiratani's mood became worse and worse, and a strong aura of uneasiness instantly enveloped his whole body."
Get out of the way, get out of the way, Commander," Ikeda yelled as he followed Hachiro Hiratani, running like a sword that separates the flowing water, and quickly ran towards the castle wall.Hiratani Hachiro lay on the city wall, and immediately became stupid after just one look.I saw that four or five kilometers outside the fortress was dusty, and tens of thousands of people dressed as ordinary people and herdsmen were working in full swing.The enthusiastic sound of the horn can be heard clearly from a distance of several kilometers, and a base that has just begun to take shape is rapidly rising from the grassland.Hiratani Hachiro's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Are they going to build a base, just opposite our fortress, build a base" Hiratani Hachiro's voice changed, and his eyes were full of fear."
It's been three days in a row, and at first we thought that the PLA was just building some kind of artillery position or something, so we didn't care.But at dawn today, they were not building an artillery position, but a large base," said Chief of Staff Ikeda, bitterly."
Where did these people and herdsmen come from, and where did they get the materials to build the base," Hachiro Hiratani yelled, "Did they all fall from the sky, how did the PLA do it?"
Hachiro Hiratani suspiciously took the binoculars and looked at the place Ikeda pointed.A straight line appeared in the vast steppe, a straight line made up of military trucks.At a cursory glance, the long queue stuck into a chain could not be seen, and there were at least hundreds of them.The trucks were loaded with various supplies, mostly construction materials.Despite the distance, Hachiro Hiratani could see that some of the trucks were tankers and vehicles transporting weapons and ammunition.The nerves in Hachiro Hiratani's face were already trembling, and it seemed that his whole face was beating."
They're going to build a base to hoard a lot of supplies, are they going to spend it with us," the telescope in Hachiro Hiratani's hand slammed to the ground."
Your Excellency Commander, if the People's Liberation Army is allowed to build a base, we will be completely finished, and they will be able to hoard a large amount of supplies in the base, and it will take us ten years, but we can't afford it," a senior officer said in a trembling voice."
As long as they keep replenishing ammunition, we can't stand just the continuous bombing.Then we don't have to wait for reinforcements to arrive, we'll be blown to pieces," said another officer."
Your Excellency, this is a battle of life and death.The PLA base must not be built, and we must destroy their base even if we try to destroy half of the troops in the base, and we must not let them succeed," Ikeda immediately suggested.Hachiro Hiratani didn't hesitate much, he could naturally see at a glance how unfavorable the current situation was for them.He was a person who made decisions on the spot, never dragged his feet in doing things, and immediately ordered: "All of them will attack from the front, and all field mountain artillery will follow."
At all costs, they will destroy their base for me" The officers of "Hai" bent down in unison, and then turned and left.Hiratani Hachiro stood on the city wall to personally supervise the battle, his eyes were already red by the flames of war that were about to burn: "The people of China, if you want to use this tactic to drag us down, you don't want to think about it, even if I die, I won't let you succeed." ”An hour later, the main gate of the Devil's Fortress suddenly opened, and the cavalry of the brigade rushed out of the fortress like a violent wind.It was a sudden attack, without warning.The devil wants to take the PLA by surprise in such a sudden way, break through the positions of the PLA, and do not hesitate to destroy the base under construction by death.A large number of infantry rushed out of the fortress after the cavalry, and hundreds of field mountain guns were dragged by horses.The devil is ready to fight to the death, and it is completely a desperate way of playing.Tens of thousands of devil cavalry immediately dispersed the moment they rushed out of the fortress, and they had learned a set of cavalry attack tactics with the Mongols for many years in the steppe.At this moment, it was like a huge wave that overwhelmed the mountains and seas, and rushed towards the PLA front."
Tank troops, let's attack" Gao Dong stood at the rear of the position at this moment, and gave a cold order.He had already calculated that the devil would have a surprise attack this time, so he had been waiting on the position for the past two days.If the devils see that they are building a base and are indifferent, then unless the Japanese have all their heads broken, they will definitely launch an attack to regain the initiative.Gao Dong's order immediately reached the tank troops, who had been repairing for several days and quickly launched a steel charge.Like a roaring steel monster, it roared with its impeccable iron armor and charged towards the onrushing Japanese cavalry.The fastest tank quickly broke through the cavalry sequence of the devils, and the fierce impact pressed straight lines in the cavalry units of the devils, crushing the corpses of the Japanese cavalry and rushing forward.The steel tracks crushed the cavalry who had no time to dodge to death, the shattered bones and the screams of the devils when they were dying resounded through the heavens and the earth, and large swaths of blood burst like watermelons that had been cut open, and the grass was dyed a hideous scarlet.The heavy machine guns on the tank were in full swing, and the ferocious rain of bullets formed waves of fire and swept towards the cavalry around them.In an instant, a fifty-meter void was punched around the tank.It was a forbidden area of death, completely covered in bullets.As soon as the Japanese touched it, they were immediately swept to pieces.Hiratani Hachiro's eyelids jumped wildly from the city wall, and his tens of thousands of cavalry were defeated before they could reach half of the impact.The neat assault formation was now torn apart, and a large number of cavalry were killed under the machine-gun fire of the tanks."
Eight grid tooth road, deceive people too much" Pinggu Hachiro smashed his fist on the city wall, even though he was angry in his heart, but there was no way to take people, who told him to send cavalry, and people sent tanks."
Open fire" Just as the scattered team of the devil cavalry was about to approach the PLA position, Gao Dong suddenly shouted and ordered.In an instant, all the firepower on the entire PLA position was strafed in unison, and rows of barrages ruthlessly crashed into the devil's cavalry aa2705221:
