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

In order to severely damage the Japanese 12th Army, Lin Zhenhua once again changed the battle plan and ordered Zhao Gang at the base to transport military supplies to the front line at all costs.

"Lao Li, I just sent a telegram to Lao Zhao, asking him to deliver 1 rockets to the front line within three days."

"In tonight's offensive, the rockets inflicted tremendous damage on the Japanese, completely exceeding my expectations."

"Especially with the entry of a large number of our heavy rocket artillery into service, the density of firepower and the degree of damage have increased by at least three times compared to before."

"The newly commissioned assault guns also achieved very good results in tonight's attack."

"Assault guns can fire while moving, providing effective fire support for the infantry's attack. Furthermore, our anti-aircraft artillery units are now mechanized. Otherwise, it would be impossible to turn the tables in such a short period of time."

"The Japanese had set a huge trap for us, but now not only has the trap been broken, but we have also wiped out nearly an entire brigade of their troops."

"Zhang Dabiao just sent a telegram saying that four armored battalions have successfully broken through the Japanese's second line of defense and are strangling the Japanese within it."

"I just gave Zhang Dabiao an order to stop strangling the Japanese within the second line of defense and hand it over to the follow-up troops. His most important task now is to continue to charge forward and break through the Japanese's last line of defense in the shortest possible time and collapse the Japanese 12th Army. Only in this way can we buy more time to rest and recuperate."

It has to be said that Lin Zhenhua's action was really risky. If the armored forces could not break through the last line of defense of the Japanese within two hours, the battle situation would most likely fall into a stalemate.

Once they fell into a stalemate, the consequences would be disastrous. The Japanese had equipped the 12th Army with two aviation divisions, and Lin Zhenhua simply did not have the ability to block the attacks of both aviation divisions at the same time. Now, there were only six hours left until dawn, and they really didn't have much time left.

"College student, if Zhang Dabiao fails to break through the last line of defense in two hours, we must retreat immediately without even the slightest hesitation."

"The Japanese aren't as weak as we thought, and that old devil, Yoshio Shinozuka, is far more cunning than we imagined. If our strength hadn't been greatly enhanced, we might not have been able to withstand tonight's counterattack."

"In my opinion, Niangzi Pass must be defended. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to defend Taiyuan City, which has no strategic location."

"The overall performance of our fighters isn't that different from the Japanese fighters. We can really say we're evenly matched."

"We don't have any advantages in air combat. If we really fight the Japanese in a duel of attrition, even if we can win in the end, I'm afraid our air force will be basically wiped out."

"This kind of battle is meaningless to us. Our most important task now is to launch a bombing campaign against the Japanese air force bases while we rest and recuperate, and bring the flames of war to the areas controlled by the Japanese."

"Only in this way will the Japs have no time to worry about other things, and our lives will be much better, without having to worry like before!"
