Double travel through the Republic of China, start with zero yuan to buy and fight against Japan

An hour after the battle, the unfortunate commander of the 17th Division received shocking news: his 1st Brigade was finished.

Yes, two regiments were destroyed under the attack of two tank battalions.

The other two brigades were not attacked because they were located in the vicinity of Dalian. The First Brigade on the front line was the first-tier defensive force, which led to the current tragedy.

The 1st Division of the 6th Army of the National Defense Force was now conducting a mopping-up operation nearby. After the entire place was taken over, those who had committed crimes and acted as running dogs in the local area were captured before they could leave.

This was another big income. These people must have a lot of money, which was just right to exchange for a large amount of supplies for Zhao Yun.

The commander of the 1st Division said to his staff in his command post.

"Yes, I will have someone notify the front-line headquarters immediately, and they will notify General Zhao."

The commander of the Second Division spoke again at this time.

"We can only rest for one night. We will attack Liancheng tomorrow morning. There are many large fortifications there, which will make our attack much more difficult."

"I hope this bombing can relieve our pressure tomorrow."

When the commander of the First Division heard his words, he nodded in agreement.

Their request was quickly approved by the front-line command, and they had already informed the Air Force that they would arrive at the destination in three hours.

Inside the Japanese command post in Liancheng, two division commanders were holding a meeting.

"Hey, now the enemy is within a hundred kilometers and is about to launch an attack here. What should we do?" The commander of the 17th Division sighed and asked helplessly.

"We received news that two divisions are on the way. We can only hold on." The commander of the 18th Division responded.

The two brothers in distress held a meeting here to see what to do next. Even if they wanted to run away, there was no chance because those bastards in the navy had driven away all the ships and their way to the sea was blocked.

"Alas, we can't run away. The commander-in-chief gave us two divisions of troops, which is already very good. It's a pity that our warriors are now frightened birds and are afraid of tanks when they see them." said the commander of the 17th Division.

"Yes, that damn navy has caused so much harm to people." The commander of the 18th Division replied.

They discussed it for several hours, but in the end there was no good solution, so they could only solve it based on the situation.

But less than half an hour after they finished their conversation, they bombed again.

Now when the Japanese heard this sound, they knew they were coming again.

"Quick, prepare for air defense, and notify people immediately to avoid the bombing." The two division commanders gave the order.

At this time, in the bomber formation in the air, they were conducting reconnaissance on the Japanese bases, and the B-52 bombers were conducting a carpet reconnaissance.

Although they had intelligence support and the specific location provided by the two front-line divisions, they still needed to conduct a reconnaissance to avoid accidentally bombing civilians.

Liancheng is a large city, and there is the strategic location of Port Arthur nearby, so we must conduct more reconnaissance before taking action. Anyway, the range is not a problem.

Fortunately, after an hour of carpet reconnaissance, several bombing target points have been identified.

"The B-52 formation was responsible for bombing ports, including Dalian and Lushun."

"The H-6 formation is responsible for bombing the remaining forces of the th Division on the Wafangdian to Dalian defense line. According to intelligence, there are only two brigades of troops left."

"The T-16 formation is responsible for bombing the th Division's positions in Dalian City."

"The B-10 formation is responsible for coordinating the bombing of the three parties, and the remaining P series fighters are responsible for airspace security and assisting in attacking ground defense targets."

After the air force commander gave the order, all formations responded quickly.

"Yes, we will act immediately."

Just as the Japs were getting ready for air defense, the main force was also ready to take shelter in the gaps, hiding in nearby anti-artillery holes and underground fortifications.

Although the underground fortifications are unsafe, the enemy does not use large-scale weapons, so their survival rate is still very high.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers in all directions were bombed at the same time.

We did not bring fuel-air explosives and thermobaric bombs this time, but the 500KG bomb is still incredibly powerful.

The positions of the two brigades of the 6th Division were currently being bombed by the H- formation. Bombs were falling like dumplings and explosions were constantly occurring on the ground, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers in the anti-artillery caves.

A shelter of that structure could not withstand the attack of a 500KG aerial bomb, but the people in the underground fortifications were safe and there were not many casualties.

This was also due to their good luck that the bomb did not explode directly on top of the underground fortifications, otherwise this result would not have happened.

But as the bombing time got longer and longer, the underground fortifications were also in danger. The brigade commander was inside at the moment, and he saw the underground fortifications shaking constantly from the bombing, and he felt anxious.

If the bombing continues like this, this place will collapse sooner or later. Only then did he understand what the division commander meant.

"Underground fortifications are not omnipotent. Once you go in, you may not be able to get out."

This is based on the case of Anshan underground fortifications. I hope they don't trust too much that this place can protect them forever.

After an hour of bombing, it finally ended, which made them feel relieved.

They watched the plane leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick, go inform everyone to report the casualties from the bombing. We need to know immediately."

After learning that the bombing was over, the two division commanders came out of the bunker and immediately ordered people to check the losses of the troops.

Half an hour later, the two divisions had counted the specific number of casualties.

"Nani, the 17th Division lost one battalion, which means there are only five battalions left to fight."

"One brigade of the 18th Division was destroyed by bombing. The key point is that the ports and artillery batteries in Dalian and Lushun were bombed, and the defenses there were basically destroyed."

When their two division commanders saw the news, they collapsed. How the hell are we going to fight? If there's another wave of bombing tomorrow, we'll basically be finished.

They sent the message to the commander-in-chief very sadly, telling them not to send anyone as it would be useless.

"We have no choice but to take the most tragic approach tomorrow. This way, at least we can kill some enemies. Passive defense will only cause us to be slowly destroyed by the enemy's firepower." The commander of the 17th Division said angrily.

"Well, this is the only way. According to the experience of that old fellow Jigu, we can cause certain damage to the other party by doing this."

Both sides considered that they could not passively accept the bombing like this, and they should also inflict certain losses on the Wehrmacht, otherwise they would suffer a great loss.

In this way, the Japanese adjusted their tactics overnight.

Not only did they refuse reinforcements, they also took steps to inflict heavy damage on the Wehrmacht through their fearlessness of death.
