"All cannons, open fire! Bomb the Japanese outside the city!”Li Hu saw that the Japanese planes were not a threat to him, so he immediately ordered all the cannons to continue bombarding the Japanese outside the city!
As a result, artillery shells were fired at the Japanese soldiers who were attacking or waiting to attack outside the city.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Outside the city, flames soared into the sky, and the roar of explosions continued.
"We won, we won! The Japanese plane escaped, hahaha!”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Japanese's plane isn't that good either.”
"I counted just now. We shot down more than 30 Japanese planes.”
In the city, countless commoners walked onto the streets and started a heated discussion.
Clearly, the aerial battle just now had greatly shocked these commoners.
"It turns out that our Chinese troops are also so powerful!”
A sense of self-improvement rose among the commoners.
……
At the front line.
The battle between the two sides continued.
"Commander, we can't hold on any longer. Requesting tactical guidance.”A captain pitifully conveyed this request to Utada.
Now, the two sides had been fighting for twenty minutes.
Apart from being unable to break through the enemy's position, they had suffered heavy losses.
If it wasn't for the fact that they had a weapon like the throwing tube to make the enemy hesitate, they would probably have suffered even greater losses.
"Tactical guidance? How long has it been? You want tactical guidance? Baka!" Utada's expression turned cold. Normally, he wouldn't ask for tactical guidance unless he was in a desperate situation.
"The casualty rate of my brigade has exceeded 40%!”
"Nani? 40%？”Utada's face darkened when he heard that. This loss rate was equivalent to being crippled. If this group of people were all veterans, they would probably turn around and run away.
How long has it been?
" Commander, we have suffered heavy losses. Requesting a retreat…"
"Your Excellency, we…"
One after another, the troops reported the bad news to Utada.
"Baka! The enemy's firepower is too fierce." Utada had just heard the report from his subordinates. In just 20 minutes, he had lost more than 1,000 soldiers.
"Contact the Regiment Commander immediately. We have lost more than one-third of our forces.”Utada said in a deep voice.
"Ha Yi."
Very soon, Kudo Ichiro received this request.
In fact, Kudo Ichiro was also watching the situation at the front line.
He knew very well that this time, the infantry regiment had not achieved any results and had suffered heavy losses. If they continued to attack, they might be completely crippled.
However, if they continued to send troops to support the attack, the losses might be even greater.
Because the enemy's artillery was still bombarding them.
On the other hand, their cannons were simply unable to clash with the enemy.
Previously, Lu Hang did not succeed. Now, he was in a dilemma.
Should they attack or retreat first and think of a way?
"Send it to Yu Duotian. Retreat first!”
"Ha Yi."
Finally, the Japanese lost another 200 or so corpses and finally left the safe zone.
……
"Ding…Congratulations to the host for killing 1574 enemies. Reward: 157,000 points!”
"Brigade Commander, the Japanese in front have retreated. Should we pursue them?”Li Hui asked Li Hu when he saw the Japanese retreating.
"Don't pursue a cornered enemy. It's not the time for us to launch a full counterattack yet.”Li Hu shook his head.
The enemy had only lost so few soldiers, and it was not yet time for a full counterattack.
They had to at least grind down half of the enemy's forces before they could have that chance!
Following that, Kudo Ichiro did not attack again. Instead, they confronted each other peacefully.
However, the news of Kudo Ichiro's failure to attack and Lu Hang's failure to bombard reached General Chida Kenyoshi's side.
At this moment, the entire meeting room of the Guan Dong Army headquarters was silent.
Clearly, all the lieutenant generals, advisors, and others present were collectively silent.
The atmosphere was heavy.
"Gentlemen, what do you think?" General Kenyoshi spoke slowly.
"The enemy has strong anti-air firepower, and Kudo Ichiro's heavy artillery can't compare to the enemy's. I also heard from Kudo Ichiro that the enemy's weapons are more advanced and their firepower is strong.”One of the staff officers said in a deep voice.
"If we want to take down Jin City, I think we need more troops. For example, we can wait for the 79th Brigade to arrive and attack from both sides. However, before we attack the city, we must deal with the enemy's heavy artillery. Otherwise, even if we can take down Jin City, we will have to pay a heavy price!”Another lieutenant general said.
"Yuxi, your analysis is not bad.”General Chida Kenyoshi nodded.
"However, if we want to deal with the enemy's heavy artillery, we have to send a certain number of aircraft to destroy the enemy's air defense forces and then blow up the enemy's heavy artillery. According to the enemy's current air defense forces, we'll probably have to pay a lot of ground forces!”
The Japanese started discussing.
From the beginning to the end, they had not been able to avoid a problem, and that was the price of blood!
This was something they did not want to see!
"I have a way to break through Jin City at the lowest cost!”At this moment, a staff officer called Kitamura Creed said.
"What is it?" General Kenyoshi asked.
"That is to surround the city without attacking, slowly depleting the enemy's ammunition and food reserves. One day, when their ammunition and food reserves are almost exhausted, it will be the time when the city falls!”Kitamura said.
"Yexi, your idea is not bad. I have the same idea. However, if he wanted to try out this plan, he needed to confirm if there were any reinforcements from the 108th China Brigade nearby. If there were still potential enemies around, then this plan would be a little risky.”General Kenyoshi said indifferently.
"There shouldn't be any more!"
"Send someone to investigate first."
"Now, we can only wait for the 79th Brigade to arrive. We are not in a hurry to take down Jin City in a day or two.”
"Ha Yi."
……
Just as the Japanese were plotting, Li Hu had his men announce the results of this battle to the entire country. He felt that the Chinese people needed some encouraging results to motivate them!
