Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 749 I will give you 20 days to prepare. Once the supplies arrive, launch the attack immediat

The sudden heavy snow caused great trouble to the Japanese logistics. The Japanese never dreamed that this counterattack would be dragged into winter.

After the snow came, the 12th Army launched one or two counterattacks, but they had little effect and suffered greater casualties than expected. As a last resort, they had to temporarily stop the attack and think about countermeasures.

"General, it's not that I don't want to launch an attack, but the enemy has built a complete defense based on the terrain. Without the escort of the aviation force, our heavy artillery dare not be deployed at all. We can only watch the enemy hide in the turtle shell in frustration."

"I organized two counterattacks a few days ago, but we didn't achieve any results. On the contrary, we suffered heavy casualties, forcing me to stop the offensive."

"The heavy snow blocked the road and our tank troops were unable to launch an assault. The only ones who can solve our current predicament are the paratroopers."

"As long as the paratroopers can capture the enemy's stronghold, and with the aviation troops paving the way, we can complete a breakthrough in the enemy's position."

"I also ask the General to give us more support, otherwise I cannot guarantee when we can take back Taiyuan City."

Yoshio Shinozuka recounted the troubles he was currently facing, his tone full of regret. He really had not expected that Li Yunlong would be so difficult to deal with. This was completely beyond his pre-war expectations.

"Shinozuka-kun, I know your difficulties, but we don't have any more time to waste. A long confrontation will consume a lot of materials."

"Earlier, your 12th Army lost 6 square kilometers of land, which resulted in the enemy's small bases being connected together and occupying our core areas."

"The most critical issue is the interruption of railway transportation, which prevents us from delivering supplies to the front in a timely manner. The headquarters has urged us many times to regain the lost land before the beginning of next spring."

"I have already informed the headquarters of our current situation. In order to solve our current predicament, the headquarters has ordered the Kwantung Army to deploy two aviation divisions and a tank regiment to fully cooperate with our counterattack."

"The North China Front Army has no more mobile forces to deploy. The only thing I can do now is to ensure your supply of ammunition and food. According to my estimation, if you cannot end the battle within two months, we will enter a long-term confrontation with the Chinese army."

"Fortunately, you dealt a heavy blow to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army last time, otherwise your 12th Army would be facing a situation of being attacked from both sides. Even if our warriors are brave, it is impossible for them to be able to fight on two fronts with ease."

"It has been snowing for three days and now there are signs of stopping. We need to take advantage of the free time after the snow stops to speed up the transportation of supplies."

"After we have accumulated enough supplies for 20 days, we will organize a large-scale offensive to break the enemy's defenses."

"The Second Battle of Midway is about to begin. If the Imperial Navy wins again, the situation in the Pacific battlefield will be even more favorable to us."

"But if we fail, the consequences will be disastrous, and we will lose our ability to attack in a short period of time."

"Although I have no good feelings towards the Navy, we have to admit one fact: as an island country, we really cannot lose our navy!"
