On the afternoon of the 22nd, the Japanese pirates 'reinforcements arrived. In addition to the Japanese pirates' garrison, there were also two other puppet brigades that arrived at the battlefield. The total strength of the Japanese pirates rose to 36,000. Domener even let the two puppet brigades that had just arrived at the battlefield take over the 16th and 29th regiments on the left and right wings to attack the Changtun defense line.
They fully played the role of the puppet cannon fodder.
In the afternoon of the same day, the last brigade of the National Salvation Army also arrived at the Changtun defense line. After the two armies joined forces, the total strength of Spring City was about 28,000 people.
In the battle on the 22nd, the Northern Battlefront Army took turns to send the 4th and 5th regiments to the front line to fight the Japanese pirates. Each time, one battalion would be sent to train. At the same time, the expanded air force also began to provide air support to the front line.
Even though the Japanese pirates had rushed into the 30-meter range several times in a row, they were still forced back by the Northern Battlefront Army's fierce machine guns and artillery fire. The Japanese pirates could not bear the casualties and began to use the puppet troops to attack the Changtun position. The two brigades of more than 16,000 soldiers charged at the Changtun position with two regiments of soldiers each time. The Japanese pirates were used as the supervision team in the rear. Any retreating puppet soldiers were killed by the Japanese pirates.
Facing the threat of death from the Japanese pirates, the puppet army also showed some fighting power. They rushed into the 50-meter range under the artillery fire of the Northern Battlefront Army, but were eventually repelled by machine guns and grenades.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, the losses of the puppet army were almost twice that of the Japanese army in the morning! However, the casualties of the Northern Battlefront Army had been reduced to one-third of what they had suffered in the morning.
After the sky darkened, the Japanese pirates withdrew their troops and began to rest. At the same time, they reprimanded the puppet army officers. In the Northern Battlefront Army command center, the generals of the Northern Battlefront Army also held a battle meeting with the generals of the National Salvation Army who had been watching the whole day.
At the long conference table, Xue Lin was the leader of the Northern Battlefront Army. Chief of Staff Zhen Chen and Intelligence Officer Xue Si sat on both sides. The other officers sat down in turn. Opposite them were the generals of the National Salvation Army, led by Li Du, with Ma Shan and Feng Hai sitting on his left and right.
In front of each of them was a report on the losses of the battle in the past two days, as well as the information on the losses of the Japanese pirates.
Although the rewards of the National Salvation Army knew that the Northern Battlefront Army had strong firepower, they still stopped and exclaimed when they saw the loss ratio.
After two days of fighting, the Northern Battlefront Army had lost more than 430 men, of which three-quarters were injured, and only about 100 were actually dead. This number of casualties was almost the same as that of a large-scale assault by the Japanese pirates during the Songqiao Anti-Japanese War. How could the generals of the National Salvation Army not be surprised?
In the intelligence report of the Japanese pirates, they highlighted the losses of the two heavy artillery units and the air force, as well as the number of injured soldiers in the Japanese field hospital, which was about 1,800. Among them, the puppet army had suffered the most casualties this afternoon, accounting for two-thirds of the patients in the Japanese field hospital.
According to the ratio of casualties, the number of Japanese casualties was about 800, while the number of puppet casualties was about 1,500.
They had almost lost an entire battalion of pirates!
The National Salvation Army had also seen the new recruits of the Northern Battlefront Army. They were just like the militia, but the new recruits they recruited might not even be as good as the militia.
Moreover, the Northern Battlefront Army had all kinds of large-caliber artillery, hundreds of machine guns, and fighter jets. After today's observation, the Northern Battlefront Army bombarded the Japanese troops with artillery and called for air support, suppressing them 30 meters away.
Originally, everyone had thought that they would merge with a group of new recruits after coming to Spring City, but who knew that the other party was actually a group of troops with explosive combat strength! It was still unknown who would merge with whom!
However, he definitely could not say such things openly.
"Cough cough!" Seeing that his anger was somewhat grave, Li Du coughed twice.
After attracting everyone's attention, he looked at Xue Lin and slowly said,"Commander Xue, according to your intelligence, the Japanese pirates have sent two more puppet exploration teams, and the total number has increased to 30,000 to 40,000. The puppet army is attacking our position so recklessly, probably because the old devil wants to deplete our ammunition and ammunition reserves.”
On formal occasions, the two of them naturally had to address each other by their positions and military ranks.
Xue Lin nodded. He had also guessed Domenr's plan. He thought that the Northern Battlefront Army probably had the support of the Soviets from the back, so they had so many advanced weapons and equipment. However, they definitely didn't have much ammunition and shells. Therefore, he let the puppet troops charge forward desperately to consume their own ammunition.
However, Xue Lin, who had the Red Alert System, was not worried about ammunition replenishment. He said to Li Du,"Commander Li, don't worry. Our ammunition reserves are enough to fight a war on the level of the Russo-Japanese War!”
Weng!
The generals of the National Salvation Army began to discuss animatedly. It was a war on the level of the Russo-Japanese War!
Although there were many people who doubted it, it was not a good idea to bring it up in such an occasion.
"Then, let's talk about the battle plan against the Japanese puppet army led by the Second Division!”Xue Lin waved his hand, and the Red Alert soldiers on both sides placed a document in front of everyone.
" In the next four days, we will take turns to replace our troops and fight the Japanese puppet army to accumulate actual combat experience..."
The entire military meeting lasted until late at night. The generals of the National Salvation Army were all eager to leave, and even Li Du and Feng Ma were the same.
