Half an hour later, the first report of "Operation Mountain Wolf" was sent to the Frontier Command Post of the North Shore Army. After reading this report, Cai E felt very relieved. Although this combat mission cost a certain price, the stormtrooper lost nearly one hundred people and the air force members lost half, it provided a preparation for creating a new tactic in the future. In any case, the mission was finally completed. During this operation, the army and air forces cooperated for the first time, and the Air Marines, which had been trained for a year, successfully entered the actual combat battlefield. This was a practical manifestation of a theoretical battle.

After that, Cai E immediately convened an emergency military meeting and officially included the launch of the general offensive in the countdown. According to the original plan of the 37th Division Division when arranging the "Mountain Wolf Operation", once the operation is successfully completed, the beachhead position will be successfully moved to the mountain front line. The two divisions on the north bank will immediately mobilize a group of new forces to launch a round of general offensive to seize the mountain. However, since the stormtroopers and air combat teams exceeded the expected return time, the front-line command post failed to start preparations in time, and the entire general offensive time will inevitably be delayed for a period of time.

At the military meeting, Cai E decided to transfer the first unit of the 24th Brigade of the 37th Division, as well as the 15th** Regiment, plus the 65th Regiment of the 34th Division, the 66th Regiment and the Engineering Regiment, and all the staff members were about 8,000 to launch this general attack. However, judging from the current terrain of the occupied area on the south bank, it is naturally impossible to accommodate 8,000 people at the same time, but to conduct a progressive attack in batches and fight a rotation and continuous high-intensity impact battle.

The 15th** Regiment started crossing the river at four in the morning and joined the equipment regiment, and launched the first wave of attack at eight in the morning. The 65th Regiment and the 66th Regiment began crossing the river at six in the morning. At this time, the 15th Regiment had almost completed the transfer work and could also handle some logistics work of the 65th Regiment and the 66th Regiment. It is expected that the first wave of attack would end within half an hour, and then the 65th Regiment and the 66th Regiment launched the second wave of attack.

The troops of the 24th Brigade met with the Engineering Regiment and launched the third wave of attack. At the same time as the third wave of combat, the engineering regiment and the equipment regiment were responsible for emergency repairs to reinforcing the occupied positions and turning them into China's defensive strongholds.

"Three consecutive waves of attacks must occupy the entire mountain, and all the Japanese positions with a cross-section of about 800 meters must be taken down. Only in this way can the entire South Bank occupying area accommodate so many troops. If the task cannot be completed at that time, the Equipment Regiment and the 15th** Regiment will continue to launch the fourth wave of operations, and take turns to attack until enough line of defense are captured." Cai E said loudly, his expression was very firm. All the subordinates who followed Cai E from the 7th Division of the Southern Alliance were very clear. Whenever he had such an expression, it would indicate that this was a bloody battle, and iron and blood must be used to fight for the inch of land.

In order to cooperate with the South Bank to launch a general attack, the 22nd Brigade on the front battlefield will launch a crossing of the river again. However, this battle will inevitably first remove the mines laid by the Japanese army along the Yalu River. At that time, small-caliber artillery troops will launch a intensive bombardment of the crossing of the river area to destroy the mines as much as possible. After this half month of combat, the 22nd Brigade has long lost many soldiers. Currently, more than 40% of the soldiers are recruits from the rear, and some are merged with the remnants of the 73rd Regiment.

Although the 22nd Brigade suffered extremely serious injuries, no matter how many soldiers and commanders they had to lose, they had to complete the tasks assigned by the above. Even if the nature of the mission had long changed from the previous forced transition to attracting firepower and becoming the troops who acted as cannon fodder, their sacrifices were all for the sake of overall interests.

The order was decided, and the 15th ** Regiment immediately began to operate. The troops, equipment and supplies were loaded on ships on the north shore and continuously transported them to the south shore. The South shore Equipment Regiment had already received an order to arrange the reception work, sending boxes of ammunition, weapons and other supplies into logistics bunkers, and then a beachhead was vacant and handed over to the ** Regiment to arrange soldiers.

After dawn, the reconnaissance aircraft and the reconnaissance airship hovered in the air for half an hour, and at the same time, two armed aircraft were found passing by the east sky. The reason why they are called "armed aircraft" is because the wooden aircraft exported by China to the United States does not have a weapon system, so the *** could only modify the Maxim heavy machine gun and install it on the aircraft, including parts of the fixed heavy machine gun or imported from a German company at a high price.

This is the first time that the pilots sent an armed plane to carry out a mission. After a month and a half, the pilots who were trained hastily are like newborn calfs compared to the Chinese Air Force that has been on the battlefield for a long time. However, as the saying goes, newborn calfs are not afraid of tigers, so these pilots boldly challenged China's reconnaissance aircraft, and even tried to penetrate the airbags of the reconnaissance airship to make the airship explode. However, even the aircraft and airships that performed the reconnaissance mission did not retreat at all in the face of the aggressive *** Army Air Force.

As a result, just one cross-flight flight, two *** planes hit the wings outside the range by the Chinese reconnaissance aircraft. The airflow pulled the loopholes in the wings of the aircraft and the whole plane began to lose balance. One was east and the other west, falling staggeringly like a fly sprayed with insecticide.

This miniature air friction is considered to be the first confrontation between the Chinese and Japanese Air Forces. In the textbook decades later, the military historians of the *** military had to admit that "although the imperial army aviation troops at that time bravely responded to the enemy, it was a pity. According to the terms of ancient duels, it was impossible to resist it for half a round."

What's even more unfortunate is that the *** pilot who fell to the west happened to land in front of the Chinese-occupied area and was captured by the nearby sniper squad at that time. During the half-month battle, there were almost very few prisoners during the Sino-Japanese war. Both sides insisted on eliminating the living forces as much as possible. Therefore, in the battle for positions, charge wars and hand-to-hand combat, it is difficult to see someone raise their hands, and even if they raise their hands, they may not survive.

All the prisoners captured by the Chinese team were sent to the north shore for interrogation, and they obtained as useful military intelligence as possible. They were then detained in a mountain concentration camp outside Fengtian City. However, the Japanese prisoners are not yet able to form a scale and have not been arranged to carry out compulsory labor activities for the time being.

At seven o'clock, as the 15th** Regiment joined the position, the 37th Division decided to set up a higher-level command post in the South Bank occupation area, and the division headquarters sent staff officers to the front line to form the division headquarters' front-line command post. The 15th Regiment, the equipment regiment and the following ** battalion, the strengthening battalion and other troops were all under the command of the front-line command post.

In the newly established frontier command post of the division headquarters, Xu Yongchang, who served as the frontline commander, is making final arrangements for the upcoming general attack. Wang Han, the commander of the 15th ** regiment, and Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the equipment regiment, gathered in the command post to listen to the combat mission briefing, and at the same time allocated the offensive positions of each combat sequence.

A correspondent soldier ran into the telegraph room and handed a piece of information to Xu Yongchang.

After reading the information, Xu Yongchang frowned slightly, and then said: "Half an hour ago, our aerial reconnaissance found that the Japanese army mobilized two corps forces from the east to come. They came from the traffic line on the other side of the mountain area, and the artillery could not cut them off. Now, these two corps have almost reached the Shantou defense line and filled the strongholds of various positions along the trenches."

Sun Lianzhong said: "We have basically been beaten to the 115th Regiment these days. According to our estimates, they do not even have enough time to replenish new recruits. The Japanese army that is stuck in the mountainous areas here may have been taken over by another army."

Wang Han said: "The two regises marched quickly to reinforce here, and they detoured from the rear of the mountainous area. The weapons and equipment they carried must be limited. In addition, the operation last night dropped a Japanese logistics base. We may not be able to rely on strong offensives to crush them later."

Xu Yongchang pondered for a while and said, "The Army Command has given instructions. This is a tough battle. No matter how many enemies there are on the hillside and how many reinforcements there are, this general attack must be launched. I hope you will do your best to complete the combat tasks assigned by the Army Command."

Sun Lianzhong and Wang Han both nodded, and agreed with a firm expression: "The task will be completed."

Xu Yongchang said again: "I hope you can remember that we defeated the Japanese division in just three days in the Qingdao War. Although this time was not the time, our fierce fighting momentum must not be reduced."

Sun Lianzhong said: "Don't worry, Staff Xu, we all know that this general attack will completely tear a gap in the Japanese defense line in Xinyizhou."
