"Okay! Very good! It seems that we are not wrong. Naosaburo Okabe has his idea on the Eastern Front. Does Li Mingjun have any follow-up reports?" Zhuang Jihua was not worried after receiving the telegram from Li Mingjun. On the contrary, he was a little excited. Since the attack started, the situation has been going smoothly. Every time he was about to exert force, Naosaburo Okabe escaped, making him angry and unable to find a partner.

In his opinion, the biggest trouble in the Northeast was not the Kwantung Army, but Yan'an. The Eighth Route Army appeared in the mountainous areas near Gaizhou. After Xiayanglin entered the city, he had to send a division south to go straight to Lushun, Dalian, and to eliminate the unstable local regime established by the Eighth Route Army in the local area.

Of course, Zhuang Jihua knew that this would cause strong protests from Yan'an, which was a risk, but the other party violated the agreement first, so he was not worried that the other party would choose to completely break.

Xu Zuyi was a little worried. Although Li Mingjun did not report how many troops the Japanese army had, it can be seen from military common sense that the Japanese army had at least three to four divisions, with a total strength of not less than 50,000, two to three times the strength advantage.

"No, commander, please let Qiu Qingquan reinforce immediately. There are not many Japanese troops in front of him. He can draw the Second Tank Division and the First Armored Division to go south to reinforce. At the same time, he ordered Sun Liren to advance west quickly, seize Huishan, and threaten the Japanese army's retreat."

Zhuang Jihua thought for a while and said, "Since all the Japanese have come out, don't be polite. Tell Sun Zhen that there are not many enemies in front of the Forty-Nine Army, let's go to attack; there are not many Japanese troops in the Baishan area of ​​Jiangyuan, and the main force of the First Mechanized Army should go south immediately and attack Linjiang. The 101 Army is equipped with the First Mechanized Army."

Zu Yi began to draft a telegram, and Zhuang Jihua added: "This telegram was also forwarded to Li Mingjun, telling him to hold on for at least three days. After three days, both Qiu Qingquan and Sun Liren arrived. There is also a telegram by Qiu Qingquan that the most important thing is to fight the army, coordination is the most important thing. Do not fight alone."

Xu Zuyi nodded and said that he had noticed a habit of Zhuang Jihua. He rarely commanded the most advanced level, and only directly commanded the most core troops at the most critical moment. This time, the Third Armored Division was the core of the entire Western Front battle, and Zhuang Jihua wanted to directly command this troops.

The essence of this last sentence is not that Qiu Qingquan does not pay attention to coordinated combat. Instead, he warned him to obey Sun Zhen's command. With Qiu Qingquan's arrogance, even the Huangpu generals could not get into his eyes. What's more, Sun Zhen.

"I ordered the army on the Western Front to strengthen the offensive and told Lu Ruishan that he had delayed it for too long and must take Xiuyan today, otherwise the Japanese would run away!" Zhuang Jihua's tone suddenly became harsh, which shows that he was a little dissatisfied with Lu Ruishan's performance.

"Lu Ruishan has done his best," Xu Zuyi defended him: "His action has been very fast. The 53rd Army is a newly reorganized unit, and only part of the equipment has been replaced."

"This is not a reason, it's because he hesitated after getting ashore and wasted time." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "Your telegram is more stern, this guy just needs to beat him frequently!"

Xu Zuyi smiled faintly. The entire war zone headquarters knew that Lu Ruishan was Zhuang Jihua's beloved general and also the direct line among Zhuang Jihua's direct line. He had a brave and tenacious combat style. He and Xia Yanglin Zhang Lingfu are the three generals who can fight tough battles in the Northeast War Zone. Zhang Lingfu is known as a wolf dog, while Lu Ruishan's nickname is tiger - hungry tiger. He is the kind of person who has not heard the gunshots for three days and is irritable, making the troops cry and call their parents, so his combat effectiveness has increased very quickly.

After Lu Rui Mountain went ashore, he immediately conquered Gaizhou. Then he divided his troops to attack Yingkou, and the two main divisions who subsequently landed launched an attack on Xiuyan. But this delayed for several hours. These hours now looked very deadly. The Japanese army entered Xiuyan first for twenty minutes faster than them.

The Japanese army had a strong fighting spirit, and they made full use of these twenty minutes to counterattack the vanguard of the 53rd Army. The vanguard battalion was caught off guard and the two companies were defeated. The battalion commander Shi Zebo was defeated and fought hard without retreating. He stabilized the entire battalion. The subsequent company arrived and launched a counterattack, so that the entire battalion did not collapse.

After Lu Ruishan arrived, he said nothing. The two company commanders who fled were shot and removed from office. Then they organized troops to attack and launched a war in Xiuyan.

When Sun Zhen received the telegram from Li Mingjun, he had just lie down on the chuáng. The abbot's preaching and preaching made him feel much calmer. Not long after, Li Mingjun's telegram arrived.

Similar to Zhuang Jihua, Sun Zhen was completely calm. The Japanese showed their trump card and everything was clear. When he arrived at the war room, Takamatsumoto was already there and was analyzing the enemy situation in front of the map.

"Have Li Mingjun called?" Sun Zhen asked when he entered the door.

"No." Gao Songyuan turned his head and replied, handing over the telegram: "This is the telegram of Commander Zhuang."

Sun Zhen was stunned. Zhuang Jihua's order came so quickly. He quickly finished reading Zhuang Jihua's telegram and thought for a while and said: "The 101 Army went south too long. You can order the 102 Army to expand the front. The Second Cavalry Army and the 101 Army went south together to take away Jiangyuan, and order Qiu Qingquan, the entire First Mechanized Army to go south to warn them to be careful of the Japanese army's blockade or ambush."

After Sun Zhen finished speaking, Gao Songyuan did not draft the order immediately, but kept staring at the map. After a long time, he said: "Commander, look, judging from Sun Liren's performance after crossing the river, the Japanese army did not expect our army to cross the river. Now the Japanese army besieged Li Mingjun, and on the other hand, it was Li Mingjun who dragged the Japanese army down. I suggest that Li Mingjun give up breaking through and attract the Japanese army, stick to the Japanese army, and wait for the subsequent troops to arrive, encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in one fell swoop."

Without thinking, Sun Zhen vetoed: "The Japanese are not fools. The Western Front has already started running. When Sun Liren crosses the river, why don't they run? You think it's the 36th year of the Republic of China (1937), two divisions dare to go deeper, and three divisions dare to divide their troops and detour from a long distance! Now I can fight him and the other division, tell Qiu Qingquan to chase him quickly, and the Japanese will run away if they are too late!"

Gao Songyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this. Sun Zhen was bored, but it was the truth. The Forty-Ninth Army and the New First Mechanized Army on the Eastern Front were both elites who had experienced many battles, well-equipped and trained. Each officer had rich combat experience and each division had a glorious combat experience. During the seven years of the War of Resistance, he had countless honors, and each division could stand alone.

The Eastern Front is not a force without weaknesses. Compared with other troops, the Second Cavalry Army gives people the impression that it is weaker, but in fact, this unit is also very strong in combat. All officers and soldiers have more than ten years of combat experience, are skilled in bows and horses, tenacious fighting will, and are as fierce as the Green Forest of the Northeast. After this reorganization and equipment replacement, the combat effectiveness has reached a higher level. The reason why I feel weaker is mainly because of the comparison with other troops, the light is completely covered up.

Compared with the gradually increasing combat effectiveness of the Chinese team, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness has declined year by year. After seven years of war of resistance, the Japanese army showed signs of fatigue. Both equipment and military quality were far inferior to those in the past. With this increase and decline, the combat effectiveness of the elite divisions in the Chinese team has exceeded that of the Japanese division.

"Commander Zhuang has actually seen this," Sun Zhen looked at the map and said again: "The commander asked Qiu Qingquan's main force to go south, which shows that he does not think the Japanese will stay there for more than three days. Chief of staff, should you make a bet? Today..., tomorrow, if Li Mingjun can hold on until tomorrow, the Japanese will definitely run away. How about it, do you dare to bet?"

"Fuck!" Gao Songyuan said slander: "I know I lost, but I still bet on the fool. Let's change it. Do you dare to bet?"

Sun Zhen couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Gao Songyuan turned around and went to draft a telegram. Sun Zhen stopped laughing and added sternly: "Tell Qiu Qingquan that the whole army goes south and don't care about Jiangyuan and Baishan. The 101st Army and the Second Cavalry Army are under his command. Tell him to rush to the road overnight and must arrive at the battlefield before noon tomorrow! Strictly tone."

When Li Mingjun was ambushed, Sun Zhen was still a little angry. He told Qiu Qingquan repeatedly before that he would shrink his troops and make the troops lean tighter and have smaller gaps between them. However, Qiu Qingquan did not listen at all, which led to Li Mingjun being ambushed, and the troops closest to him were almost a hundred miles away.

Before Zhuang Jihua and Sun Zhen's telegram arrived, Qiu Qingquan had already responded. After receiving the telegram from Li Mingjun, he immediately realized that Jiang Yuan and Baishan could almost be considered empty cities, so he immediately changed his combat plan and ordered the Second Tank Division and the First Armored Division to go south immediately.

But the First Tank Division and the Second Armored Division continued to attack Jiang Yuan because he was worried that although there were not many Japanese devils in Jiang Yuan, there were definitely Japanese devils and they could not be left alone. In such mountains, tank divisions could not act alone, and infantry must act together.

Like Zhuang Jihua and Sun Zhen, Qiu Qingquan was not worried about Li Mingjun. Qiu Qingquan believed that even if the Japanese army doubled, Li Mingjun could still hold on for three or four days. As long as his bullets were not finished, he could hold on until the main force of the group army arrived and encircled and annihilated the Japanese army.

After receiving the telegram from Zhuang Jihua and Sun Zhen, Qiu Qingquan became even more excited. The 101 Army and the Second Cavalry Army were placed under his command. He immediately changed the order and ordered the First Tank Division and the Second Armored Division to move south again, and ordered the 101 Army to force the army to move south and occupy Jiangyuan by the way. The Second Cavalry Army immediately surpassed the 101 Army to move south.

All the Zhong** teams on the eastern front launched an ambush around Nakajima Kangjian. Zhang Lingfu no longer cared about it and deployed all three of his divisions, attacked from the front, interspersed on the side and back, and blossomed in full bloom.

The 174th Division, which received the order to retreat, found it difficult for them to retreat. The 103 armies on the opposite side suddenly became fierce and cunning, and various attack methods emerged one after another.

The 183rd Division also had the same feeling. The 102nd Army's actions also became violent and fierce. The entire Eastern Front troops swept away their original caution and caution, and the troops began to let go of the attack.

Nakajima Kangjian began to feel that it was not Li Mingjun who was flapping in the fishing net, but Nakajima Kangjian...
