Chapter 314 Situation

After conquering the first line of defense, Cai E ordered the National Defense Forces to continue to pursue the victory...

So soon, the Japanese army staged a great show of surging on the second line of defense.

It is normal to do this. Although the quality of the Japanese army is much better than that of the National Defense Forces, they often like to do disgusting things like "suicide attacks". But after all, the current Japanese army is not the Japanese army in later generations, and he is not that crazy. The current national defense force is not as useless as the Kuomintang troops in later generations. Tens of thousands of people are often chased by hundreds of people. It is said that such a drama that has been thrust into thousands of miles. Twenty years later, the Kuomintang troops are often staged.

After the Japanese army on the first line of defense retreated back to the second line of defense, the National Defense Force, who was pursuing victory, followed behind the retreating Japanese army, making the Japanese army on the second line of defense not know what to do.

Of course, for the Japanese, similar things only require a little hesitation.

Because after hesitating for a while, the Japanese generals on the front line had ordered the defenders to use machine guns to strafuse...

In the eyes of these Japanese generals, nothing is more important than victory. For victory, it is nothing to sacrifice the lives of some officers and soldiers. After all, they are all loyal to the "Great Japanese Empire" and "Emperor Taisho"...

Even if you die at the hands of your own people, you can finally return to that shrine.

only…

These officers are brave enough, but the soldiers below may not be like this. After all, they are all their comrades in front of them.

So, just as hesitated, the National Defense Forces had already rushed into many distances behind the defeated Japanese army. When these Japanese soldiers came to their senses and really fired at the urging of the officers, the National Defense Forces were not far from the second line of defense -- there was another reason for this, that is, many machine gunners and ordinary soldiers did not aim at their own people when aiming, but directly aimed at the guns...

In this case, it is obviously impossible to effectively block the Defense Forces.

At this time, the Japanese army retreated to the first line of defense also caused some chaos to the Japanese army on the second line of defense.

It was at this time that the following National Defense Force rushed into the position and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the National Defense Force that rushed into the defense line.

The battles that took place on the second line of defense were much more intense than those that took place on the first line of defense.

First, there were many defenders on the second line of defense. Second, the Japanese were crazy after all. Although they were beaten in a very embarrassing manner now, this does not mean that they had no power to fight back. In fact, after entering the second line of defense and gaining some breathing room, the Japanese army retreating to the second line of defense had already counterattacked the National Defense Forces with the defenders.

"Hand-hand combat..."

Since ancient times... it seems that there is not much ancient...

No matter what, hand-to-hand combat is like trench warfare, and is a very bloody battle.

What's more, the Japanese have a bad habit, that is, no matter what the situation is, even if there are many vitality, they are used to tie up grenades and die together with the enemy...

So on the second line of defense, the National Defense Forces fought hard.

Even the reinforcements sent by Masato Tanuchi were intercepted by the artillery group of the National Defense Forces. The artillery group of the National Defense Forces then fought with the artillery group of the Japanese artillery group...

But no matter what, the National Defense Army had a lot of advantages when it came to the Japanese army. Moreover, not long afterwards, Cai E also sent the infantry division as a reserve.

Therefore, after nearly three hours of fierce battle, the National Defense Force finally took down the second line of defense.

At this point, the situation between the National Defense Forces and the Japanese army has returned to the situation before the war.

However, after regaining the second line of defense, Cai E did not let his subordinates rob the Japanese position.

It’s not that he didn’t want to, but the second line, that is, the line of defense that confronted the Japanese army, is quite far from the Japanese line of defense itself. After all, this is the line of defense that the National Defense Force used to confront the Japanese army. If he had to slap meat with the Japanese army, even Cai E would not allow it-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Japanese army still retained a lot of strength, and there was still a large distance between the two positions. In addition, Cai E's four infantry divisions suffered great losses. Therefore, after taking down the two lines of defense, Cai E could only stop.

However, after stopping, Cai E did not do nothing.

Of course, the same is true for Teraunuchi Masato.

After recapturing and being recaptured, Cai E and Masatoshi Seuchi both reorganized their teams to prepare for the next stage of the confrontation...

After all, Cai E and Masashi Nakanai suffered great losses. For example, the four infantry divisions responsible for offensive tasks had reached a point where they had to rest after regaining the defense line. Masashi Nakanai's troops were even worse than Cai E's.

Because in addition to the heavy losses, several troops of Masato Tsai also have to add the chaos in the organization...

"Everything has returned to Youyou..."

After patrolling the field hospital for a while and returning to the headquarters, looking at the military map and sand table that were similar to when he was in office, Masato Tanuchi smiled bitterly.

When he heard Masato Tanuchi's words, Taro Senha, Mitsumon Kamio and others were silent.

When they reached this point, they actually had a certain feeling that this war in Shandong was likely to fail.

But although they had a foreshadowing of failure, these generals of the army did not know what the cost of failure would be?

"Your Excellency, now..."

"Don't say anything now..."

After waved his hand and stopped him from stopping him, Masato Tanuchi continued to look at the situation on the sand table.

"After regaining two lines of defense, Cai E will never fail to take the next move..."

"This is for sure..." Xianha Taro pointed? 000 zhang! He was rushing to the shore? He was rushing to the shore? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang? He was rushing to the gang?

"Yes...so our biggest task now is to prepare for precautions before the next move of the Chinese people..."

"But how much time will the Chinese people take to prepare? I just went to the army to see that the troops below not only suffered huge losses, but also had all the institutions. If they wanted them to recover, they might take some time..."

Masato Tanuchi smiled.

"Don't worry, we have a big loss, and the Chinese people may not have a small loss. Besides, our soldiers are very brave and dragged many Chinese people to hell during the battle..."

Obviously, Masato Tetsuyuki did not regard the "suicide attack" as a shame.

---------------------

In order to prepare for the next stage of the battle, Cai E and Masatoshi Temple took about half a month to prepare...

In half a month, except for some smaller confrontations between the two sides, there was almost no battle of more than two thousand people in Laiyang.

But almost everyone understands that this is actually no different from the tranquility before the storm.

really…

After the four infantry divisions in Cai E's hands and a newly transferred infantry division from Qingdao Fortress were fully prepared, Cai E took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the first line of defense of the Japanese army.

A series of fierce attacks lasted almost three days. In three days, Cai E's five infantry divisions continued to launch fierce attacks on the first line of defense of the Japanese army. Finally, after paying an extremely painful price, they finally seized the first line of defense.

And this line of defense also represents the official transition from defense to offense...

In the following days, Cai E's troops continued to attack several other lines of defense in the Temple Masato...

Within more than ten days, two lines of defense were set in a row, and at this point the Japanese defense line in Cai E's hands had reached three, but the only one left in Masatoshi Temple...

Moreover, after many days of combat effectiveness, the four infantry divisions in Masato Tetsu's hands also suffered heavy losses. Now, the four infantry divisions in Masato Tetsu's hands are even left with only more than 70,000 people...

Among them, there are at least 10,000 wounded people...

At this point, Masatoshi Tani had no other way.

Super Enchantress Sodu

Although in Tokyo, the Okuma Cabinet asked Masato Desaka to persevere, show the strong combat power of the Japanese army, and even asked Masato Desaka to think of a solution. After all, in the eyes of the world of this era, China is a weak country, while Japan is a powerful country.

A powerful country took the initiative to fight against a weak country, but it turned out like this, which is really a big problem for the Japanese government's face.

Of course, face and other things are trivial matters. The biggest problem is the people in China...

To be honest, in order to make Japan a strong country, the Japanese people have indeed made a lot of contributions in this regard. Seriously, the Chinese people may not even be able to reach one-tenth of the Japanese people in this regard.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that China is an agricultural country, while Japan is an industrial country.

After all, industrial countries can better mobilize the potential of countries, while agricultural countries...

This is the same as the fiscal revenue of the two countries.

The fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty was more than 500 million silver dollars, while the fiscal revenue of Japan was more than 700 million.

But the Qing Dynasty's fiscal revenue accounted for only a few percent of the country's total economic output, but what about Japan?

Japan's fiscal revenue accounts for dozens of economic output in the country...

This is the biggest difference between industrial countries and agricultural countries.

If it were China, it would be impossible for China to squeeze out so much money--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But no matter what, Japan's national strength is now made by the Japanese people at the lowest level. The biggest purpose of their efforts is to make Japan a powerful country.

The past Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War made the Japanese people ecstatic.

The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 made Japan officially replace China as the strongest country in East Asia, which was something that Japan had not been able to do in the past few thousand years. The Russo-Japanese War earned the Japanese a ticket to the clubs of the great powers---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other words, the current Japanese people have become accustomed to Japan's weak defeating the strong, and have become used to Japan's victory after victory.

So, when they learned that Japan declared war on China again, they thought it was just the beginning of another victory...

In fact, when the Expeditionary Force set out and countless Japanese people were having their farewell at the port, many Japanese were wondering how long it would take for the Expeditionary Force to solve the trouble of falling in Shandong? Is it three months? two months? one month? or a week?

How much benefit can the Japanese Expeditionary Force rushing to Shandong bring to Japan after this war?

It is not surprising that the Japanese people think this way, because in the eyes of the Japanese people, they have successfully surpassed China and become the most powerful country in East Asia. What about China? China in the past may have been really brilliant and was a country that Japan must look up to, but now China is just a sick man and a weak country.

The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the only purpose of China's existence is to become a nutrient for Japan's growth, and then replace China with Japan, representing Asian forces to earn the glory of Asians throughout the world.

only…

There is no need to mention the failure at Longkou Bay at the beginning.

Such a big defeat, and the most eye-catching battle since the emergence of the aviation force, is impossible to know about such a small place in Japan.
