After just one round of rocket bombardment, the first line of defense outside Yingkou was basically unrecognizable.

There were dense craters, loose soil, scattered barbed wire, gun parts, Japanese soldiers' bodies and limbs everywhere.....

But even though this line of defense has become a ruin.

The shells are still falling.

More than 100 heavy artillery pieces have no intention of stopping.

It seems that they will not stop until the barrels are scrapped.

The powerful firepower burst out by the right-wing army made the commander of the 38th Mixed Brigade, Koga Dentaro, feel terrified.

Can they really defend Yingkou?

You know, Yingkou is located in the coastal plain area.

It is a terrain that is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Although I don’t know how many people the Chinese troops on the opposite side have.

But from the scale of this artillery fire, it is known that there will definitely be a lot.

A series of urgent telegrams were sent to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Changchun.

"The Chinese have finally launched an offensive."

When seeing the telegrams from various places, neither Honjo Shigeru nor Okamura Yasuji were surprised.

In addition to Yingkou,

Xinmin also received a telegram.

Like Yingkou, they were subjected to fierce artillery bombardment.

"The Chinese were so ambitious that they actually launched an attack on Shenyang from two directions.

How many troops do they have?"

It's not that they haven't sent spies to Jinzhou.

But every time their spies entered cities like Jinzhou and Chengde, there was no news.

If it weren't for Itaheng Seishirō's guarantee that there were no traitors in his secret service, they would suspect that the hidden list had been leaked.

It is precisely because of this that they actually have very little intelligence about the Red Alert Corps.

So now they don't even know exactly how many troops Jiang Fan has.

This is one of the reasons why the two did not dare to take the initiative to launch an offensive.

Intelligence plays a vital role in war.

It can even determine the direction of the tilt of the scales of victory in a war.

Xinmin is defended by the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.

They are not worried that the Chinese can break through this line of defense.

As for It is impossible in a short period of time.

If there is a problem with the Xinmin Defense Line, the Sixth Division stationed in Shenyang will also go to reinforce.

But Yingkou is different.

There is only one 38th Mixed Brigade.

Once Yingkou is lost, it will be equivalent to cutting off their railway line with Lushun.

Many of their supplies are sent from the Port of Lushun.

If Yingkou is lost, then they can only get supplies from the country on the peninsula.

Therefore, the importance of Yingkou is self-evident.

Otherwise, an entire brigade would not be sent to defend this port city.

Moreover, the 38th Mixed Brigade has just sent a telegram for help to them.

It seems that the situation over there is already very critical.

This also made the two feel a lot of pressure.

"The troops in Anshan cannot move, so we should ask the troops in Lushun Fortress to reinforce Yingkou."

The 10th Division and the 39th Mixed Brigade are stationed in Anshan and Benxi.

Although the relationship between the Japanese army and navy is very poor, the resources in the Northeast are also crucial to the navy.

Therefore, Lushun decisively dispatched more than 6,000 marines.

Although the Japanese Marine Corps is not valued by the navy and its equipment is even worse than that of the army, it is also a force that cannot be ignored.

A few hours later, thousands of marines took the train to the north.

Although there is a risk of being bombed, the situation in Yingkou is critical now, so they can't care so much.

"Commander, there are two military trains heading north from Lushun."

"Finally, let the air force go."

The reason why they did not blow up the South Manchuria Railway at the beginning of the war was to lure the reinforcements from Lushun.

If they did not come out, they would always be a threat.

Now that they have come out, the air force can naturally take action.

The main force of the air force this time is not the MiG jet fighter.

It is the Invader attack aircraft (first generation).

It is not a jet fighter like the MiG, but a propeller fighter.

The MiG is also the only jet fighter of the current Red Alert Corps. The

Invader attack aircraft adopts the traditional layout of fixed-wing propeller fighters.

The fuselage is even more It uses an all-metal semi-monocoque aluminum alloy material.

The engine uses an air-cooled radial piston engine with a power of 3,000 horsepower.

The maximum take-off weight is 10.8 tons, the speed is 630 kilometers per hour, and the range is 2,500 kilometers.

The weapons are equipped on the inner side of the wing, which are two 20mm cannons.

There are a total of 15 racks on both sides of the wings and the belly.

It can carry about 4 tons of bombs at a time.

And it has extremely good low-altitude and low-speed performance, and there is also a thick armored steel plate on the belly.

As the Red Alert Corps' most outstanding ground support model

The task of targeting the Japanese reinforcement train was naturally given to them.

A whole brigade was dispatched to attack 30 Invader attack aircraft.

The Japanese army was lucky and thought that they would not be bombed in this short period of time of just a few hours.

However, it was the opposite.

After they had been traveling on the railway for more than an hour, they were greeted by an overwhelming number of Invader attack aircraft.
