Kobayashi Asazaburo sighed softly, "This cannot be blamed on them. Without air supremacy at all, the technical equipment of the Tiger Ben Army is so powerful, and bombs and shells seem to be inexhaustible.

No matter how strong the steel defense line is, it cannot withstand such high-intensity continuous bombing!"

The commander of the 32nd Division, Jing Tiezang, nodded and said, "Yes, there is no shield in this world that cannot be broken! Not to mention the Yellow River defense line, even our external fortress group in Jinan cannot withstand such continuous bombing!"

The commander of the 114th Division, Toyiru Nakayo, nodded deeply and said, "I am also worried about this problem now. The southern mountainous areas are better, so our eastern defense zone is a bit tight.

Although we had a perfect defense today, blocking the bombardment of the Chinese Tiger Ben Army's aircraft and heavy artillery, without air supremacy, I really don't know what other irresistible attack methods would be forbidden to the Chinese Tiger Ben Army."

Kobayashi Asazaburo nodded and said, "Just in case, I think the preparations for blowing up the Yellow River Bridge can be put on the agenda. We must not give in to the cross-river bridge that has worked hard to repair successfully."

"Yes! And there is also Jinan Prefecture. If we really can't defend it, we must let it burn together..."

"What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of as warriors of the Great Japanese Empire?"

As everyone was talking more and more outrageous, they began to "explain the funeral". Wei Gao Guizang couldn't help it and stared at him and said loudly: "Although the river defense line between the 21st and 22nd Army was torn apart, it does not mean that the Tiger Army can completely defeat the 21st and 22nd Army without bloodshed.

At the same time, our 12th Army will not fall easily. Even if we throw away all the outer defense lines, we can still fight the Tiger Army in Jinan City to the end, making them pay an unbearable price of casualties!

The Hu Ben Army was greatly consumed, preventing them from continuing to expand outside in a short period of time. We can buy enough time for the Great Japanese Empire to create an opportunity to annihilate the Hu Ben Army in one fell swoop and pacify the Chinese incident!

As long as we can achieve this goal, no matter how much casualties we pay, it is worth it!"

“…”

After the "righteous" words of Otaka Katsura were covered up, Kobayashi Asazaburo and others didn't know how to respond, because there was a saying that was good, "If you don't have any speculation, you will have more words."

At this moment, Japan, thousands of miles away, was also holding an emergency meeting to discuss this matter.

The Hu Ben Army only took half a day to break through the Yellow River defense line that the Japanese government believed was already solid. Naturally, this news could not be kept in the paper and soon spread back to Japan.

When he first heard the news, Hirohito was shocked and angry, and immediately held an urgent meeting to discuss the matter.

Hirohito really didn't expect that the Shandong Peninsula, which had always been "settled", would suddenly explode at this critical moment, and directly broke through the Yellow River defense line with a destruction and destruction.

The powerful combat capabilities displayed by the Chinese Tiger Army once again refreshed the cognition of Hirohito, Tojo Hideki, Hata Shunrok and others.

It was only at this time that they were surprised to find that the Chinese Tiger Army was a real tiger. They spent so much manpower, material resources and financial resources, and gathered so many troops to siege, but they simply blocked the fierce attacks of the Chinese Tiger Army.

Now, 300,000 elite troops have broken through the Yellow River defense line like tigers and stepped onto the north bank of the Yellow River. This not only poses a huge threat to the entire northern Shandong Plain, but also threatens the Japanese-occupied area in North China, but will even further pose a threat to Manchukuo, which is already known as the engine of the Japanese Empire, in the future.

After discussion, a resolution was finally formed, which was to immediately draw the Kwantung Army to go south and launch a decisive battle with the Chinese Tiger Army.

Because at present, only the Eastern Army in China has the power to fight in front of the Chinese Hu Ben Army, the remaining veteran Japanese troops have been rotated out by the second-line troops, either buried in Myanmar or preventing the Chinese Expeditionary Force from counterattacking in Thailand.

At the same time, Chongqing was not idle either, and Chairman Jiang also organized an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this sudden variable.

Many generals at the meeting advocated seizing the opportunity, taking advantage of the people's sentiment and military spirit to be angry, and taking advantage of the opportunity when the Hu Ben Army attracted most of the attention of the Japanese government, they organized a large-scale strategic counterattack simultaneously, severely attacked the arrogance of the Japanese army in China, and gave those surrender factions and sellers a wake-up call.

Similarly, many generals and lords advocated that they should wait and see the changes. At this time, it is not advisable to go to the muddy waters. They should "storage grain and slowly become king" and continue to accumulate strength. After most of the domestic army has completed the replacement of American equipment, they will launch a strategic counterattack with the Japanese invaders.

After thinking about it, after careful weighing the pros and cons, the Chairman finally chose the latter because in general, the morale of the Chinese army in China is not high, let alone weapons and equipment.

After several elite ace troops suffered serious losses in the Second Changsha Battle, they have just recovered so far, and they do need further reorganization and training.

It’s easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Late at night, in a gun hole on the north bank of the Yellow River, in a defense position of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Army.

"It's past eleven o'clock. Will the Japanese come tonight?"

Cheng Yongwen, the commander of the 11th Regiment of the 4th Brigade, looked down at his wrist watch, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket in a irritable state, preparing to lit one to refresh himself.

Before this, Cheng Yongwen had already had a good sleep, but because he had something in his heart, he had never been able to sleep well. He would always wake up suddenly, for fear that the Japanese would attack the front of the position when they woke up.

Of course, Cheng Yongwen knew very well that this kind of emergencies would not exist.

Because in order to prevent the Japanese from launching counterattacks in the dark, the troops had already made sufficient preparations. Not only did a large number of special guard posts, but also flares, night vision devices and other props and equipment were put into use, and all-round warnings were carried out.

If the Japanese want to touch the frontier position without knowing it, it is impossible for them to happen.

However, the war is approaching, and he is now on the front line of crisis. The innate sense of crisis makes Cheng Yongwen unable to achieve a normal mind.

"Lao Cheng, why can't you sleep? Come on, let me go."

Cheng Yongwen's movements of taking out cigarettes and fire were very gentle, and he did not make much noise, but the anti-cannon hole was too quiet. The deputy commander Tang Pingxiang, who also did not sleep well, was still awakened.

"Have you woken up? I'm really embarrassed."
