The attack was very smooth from the beginning to the present. The Harbin airborne plan designed by Zhuang Jihua was extremely successful. ** quickly occupied the entire territory of Heilongjiang. The Forty-Ninth Army crossed the southern foot of the Greater Xing'an Mountains and entered the First Mechanized Army from Mongolia. The New 11th Army occupied Bei'an, Yichun, and Hegang, quickly controlled the northwest of Heilongjiang, incorporated a large number of local puppet troops, and formed a local regime.

The actions of the New 11th Army caused uneasiness in Chongqing. Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed Zhuang Jihua to be vigilant of the development of ** in the Northeast and pay special attention to the activities of the Eighth Route Army in the Heilongjiang area. Zhuang Jihua did not argue with this and was perfunctory.

However, the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in the southeast of Heilongjiang, and the occupation of Mudanjiang in Jixi made Zhuang Jihua very angry. He told Huang Mingcheng that according to the agreement between them, the area occupied by the Eighth Route Army should be north of Qiqihar, Jiamusi, and whether the Eighth Route Army wanted to tear up the original agreement.

Huang Mingcheng expressed his intention to report to Yan'an. Zhuang Jihua ignored him and ordered the New Eighth Army to go north to occupy Suibin, Fujin and Tongjiang in front of him. Dai Anlan acted quickly, divided his troops into three groups, and quickly occupied the area north of Jiamusi. The newly formed 44th Division of the New Eighth Army went north from Suihua to seize the strategic area ridge and threatened Yichun and Hegang.

Zhuang Jihua's military front was revealed, and Yan'an's answer also arrived. Huang Mingcheng told Zhuang Jihua that occupying Jixi and Mudanjiang was a spontaneous act of the Eighth Route Army advance team. The advance team did not know the agreement between them. Yan'an suggested that both sides temporarily maintain the current situation and stop military operations against each other, and that the remaining matters will be negotiated and resolved in the future.

"It would be fine if it was resolved now, but our party is worried that this would alarm Chiang Kai-shek and the Cultural Revolution. It would never violate the agreement between the two parties. This is purely an accident."

Huang Mingcheng's attitude was very sincere. Zhuang Jihua reluctantly accepted his explanation, especially Huang Mingcheng's mention of alarming Chiang Kai-shek, which shows that Yan'an was sincerely considering it for him, and the agreement between them was top secret, so it was impossible to tell the advance team in danger.

"I'm still worried about the Cultural Revolution. They won't be so honest, right?" Gong Xiuhua's expression was very worried. She didn't believe that Yan'an would follow Zhuang Jihua's plan in a honest way.

"I dare not say what will happen in the future. They won't do it yet." Zhuang Jihua's tone showed that he was very confident in this. His confidence mainly comes from the current political situation and military advisor situation. Although the New 11th Army has about 90,000 troops, the puppet troops are enrolled and the total force is only 160,000 to 170,000, the strength of ** is not the same as that. The small Heilongjiang gathered more than 400,000 troops. This is not counting the puppet troops anyway, and this part of the force is about 200,000.

The Puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces had about 1.5 million troops, which were annihilated in Rehe Mongolia and anyway, about 400,000; about 700,000 were fought in the Soviet Union, of which more than 300,000 were annihilated, and the remaining troops were fleeing back to the northeast one after another. Among these puppet troops on the way to escape, about 200,000 have been rebelled.

"Let Xiaoshan tell Wen Qiang that the puppet army can now use the banner of ** and go to the border we control." Zhuang Jihua still made preparations for response.

He has long counted the millions of troops of the Puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces. These troops will be the main source of his expansion troops in the future. They will never fall into the hands of others.

After dealing with the dispute with the Eighth Route Army, the situation on the battlefield in the Northeast had changed drastically. The Kwantung Army abandoned western Liaoning and retreated across the board, and once it retreated, it was a major retreat of hundreds of kilometers. Faced with this situation, Zhuang Jihua felt a little uneasy and ordered the frontline generals to suspend the pursuit and go into rest, but unexpectedly, this order was opposed by Du Yuming and Song Xilian.

"It seems that they are eager to win and have great confidence." Xu Zuyi said with a smile. This battle is completely different from before, and the theater command seems very relaxed. Each department is working step by step, without any tension.

Zhuang Jihua heard that Xu Zuyi's joke had such a sense of praise, but he forced a smile and said, "It's a good thing to have confidence. After winning such a battle, you should have some confidence."

Stilwell's thin face showed a puzzled expression: "Zhuang, I still haven't figured out why we should stop chasing? I think Du's opinion is right. The Fifth Army has thousands of tank and armored vehicles, and the Japanese have no power to deal with them, so they can continue chasing."

When he was in Myanmar, Stilwell thought that Zhuang Jihua was too cowardly and timid, but now he thought that Zhuang Jihua was too cautious and did not dare to pursue such a big advantage. It seemed incredible to the US generals. If this was the case in the past, Stilwell might have to blame him again, but now he did not. In the face of Zhuang Jihua's record, his accusations seemed a bit ridiculous.

"The way to use troops is to respond correctly and win strangely," said Zhuang Jihua: "It seems that our army has won step by step, but in fact our army has not hit the Japanese army a lot. Let's not talk about Heilongjiang. In fact, the Japanese army voluntarily gave up. Shanhaiguan, which really attacked the Japanese army, I estimate that in the whole western Liaoning, we will eliminate about 30,000 Japanese troops, and the main force of the Kwantung Army will still be preserved intact."

"The Japanese army in western Liaoning did not retreat to Shenyang, but to southern Liaoning, which shows that the Japanese army is ready to give up Shenyang, so even if they want to pursue, they cannot all go to Shenyang, but should be the main force to southern Liaoning."

"There are not many Japanese troops in Shenyang, and there are not many Japanese troops in Changchun. Where is the main force of the Kwantung Army?" Zhuang Jihua set up a question and explained without waiting for their answers: "A battle, strategically speaking, is actually a guessing riddle between the generals of both sides to see who first sees through the other party's combat intentions."

"I have been guessing, what would I do if I were Naosaburo Okabe facing the current situation?" Zhuang Jihua said and looked at Stilwell and Xu Zuyi.

Zhuang Jihua had asked similar questions before. Xu Zuyi was already used to Zhuang Jihua's discussion methods. He soon thought of it, but he did not speak, but looked at Stilwell.

Stilwell thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would retreat to the east of the Liaohe River or Hunhe River and use the terrain here to block the attack."

Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "If it's just a blockade, the conditions here are not good. I can fight with you here. The troops occupying Shenyang go south and Changchun go straight south, break into North Korea, and move west from the south bank of the Yalu River to block your way to North Korea."

Zhuang Jihua said as he drew two lines on the map, starting from Shenyang and Changchun. The line in Changchun went south and crossed the Yalu River, then turned west and went all the way to Xinyizhou. His command pole gently tapped on Xinyizhou.

Stilwell's face changed suddenly, and Breen hesitated and said, "If this is the case, when our army in Changchun goes south, I will also go south and retreat to North Korea."

"If this is the case, it will not help in changing Japan's current situation." Zhuang Jihua frowned and shook his head.

Stilwell asked with a frown, "How did you judge?"

Zhuang Jihua did not answer. He designed several plans for Naosaburo Okabe, but he rejected them himself. It was precisely because he could not judge Naosaburo Okabe's movements that he hesitated so.

"If I were Okabe, I would keep retreating," He Wei suddenly spoke. He walked out from Xu Zuyi and stood in front of the map: "I will not block the Liaohe River or the east bank of Hunhe River. I will continue to retreat, head south, and then see your movements."

"See the movement?" Stilwell was very puzzled. Although he had been in China for a long time, he still couldn't understand some of the Chinese people's ways of speaking.

"Yes," He Wei explained: "We hope for head-on combat. Naosaburo Okabe is very clear, so I guess that his purpose is to lure our army south. Our army will inevitably have loopholes in the movement. He can seize part of our army to carry out a strike."

What He Wei talked about was the common strategies of the Red Army against the Kuomintang army. The Red Army rarely fought head-on with the Kuomintang army, and they all fought in movements. But Stilwell did not understand that there was no such example of war in the West Point Military Academy tutorial.

"Then Haicheng, Benxi don't want any key points?" Bran asked in surprise.

"Give up," He Wei was very straightforward, without a trace of hesitation: "It is better to give up, on the one hand, we can relax our army, and on the other hand, we can keep the troops mobility."

This is a typical Red Army tactic. Zhuang Jihua and Xu Zuyi exchanged glances. Zhuang Jihua's eyes became a little solemn. He thought about it for a while and asked:

"Director Who, is the primary condition for this tactic to obtain cooperation from local residents?" In Zhuang Jihua's memory, the film and television dramas repeatedly emphasize the support of the people in the base area for the army. No matter how the Kuomintang army threatened and tempted them, the people would not tell them the movements of the Red Army.

"Not necessarily," He Wei gave him an unexpected reply: "The military operations must be kept confidential, which is the same at all times. The most important thing is to understand the terrain and the enemy situation at the same time."

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, and films and TV dramas were all released. The Kuomintang had long known from the rebel generals who defected from the Red Army that the Red Army had overwhelming intelligence over the Kuomintang. The Kuomintang's radio code was deciphered very early, and the Kuomintang's troops' movement route and troop scale had long been mastered by the Red Army. If the Red Army generals use it a little, they can create opportunities.

"According to this, Naosaburo Okabe may have made this idea." Zhuang Jihua made a conclusion about the discussion and planned to order it. At this time, Xu Zuyi suddenly interrupted: "Now Shenyang is ripe peach, and everyone wants to pick it."

Zhuang Jihua hesitated and understood. He shook his head slightly. The reason why Du Yuming and Song Xilian opposed rest was actually the purpose of Shenyang, and they all wanted to occupy Shenyang first.

"Let's do this, so as not to let them fight. Shenyang is occupied by General Yang Sen's 24th Army. Since Naosaburo Okabe has placed the decisive battle in southern Liaoning, I will fulfill him." Zhuang Jihua seemed very domineering: "Search to Du Yuming, the Fifth Army and the Fifty Army to attack Haicheng from Panjin, the Twenty-Two Army and the Twenty-Three Army to attack from Beining to Anshan, and the Second Army followed.

He ordered Yang Sen, the 73rd Army of the 24th Army, to continue to advance eastward to seize Zhangwu, and the 20th Army attacked Shenyang through Fuxin.

The North Army must go south as soon as possible, and the 103rd Army of the Forty-Nine Army should attack Changchun as soon as possible. The First Airborne Division will immediately go south and attack Changchun." (To be continued)
