As he shouted, Yamura was the first to throw out the grenade. With the explosion, several Chinese soldiers rushing upwards rolled down the mountain, but the Chinese soldiers behind were still rushing upwards. Several grenades exploded in the crowd one after another. Several figures passed through the smoke and rushed to the top of the mountain. Galand's semi-automatic rifle made a crisp scream. Two soldiers holding bright bayonets just stood up and fell in a pool of blood.

Immediately afterwards, a group of figures emerged from both sides and rushed towards the Chinese soldiers. Yamura was very anxious. If the Chinese soldiers rushed into the position, the entire position would be in danger.

"Machine gun! Machine gun!" Yamura shouted. The two machine gunmen just rushed to set up the machine gun and immediately shot at the foot of the mountain.

More and more Chinese soldiers are approaching the hill, and fierce fighting is still going on in the position. Two machine guns are cross-firing, blocking the road of the subsequent troops of the China National Team, but this has weakened support for other directions.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Several consecutive shells exploded on the mountain, and the sound of machine gun shooting suddenly became less. Three soldiers carried ammunition boxes and set up grenade cans on the ridge and blasted downwards.

Within a few minutes, the position on the mountain was full of crisis, and several Chinese soldiers rushing into the position were eliminated, but the attack at the foot of the mountain was still fierce, approaching the position on the mountain several times, and being smashed by grenades several times.

Li Mingjun looked at his watch from time to time. He rushed up the mountain and opened a gap, which made him extremely excited. But in a blink of an eye, the Japanese blocked the gap and fought fiercely around the mountain. The Japanese were very tenacious in resistance. There were figures of rolling down the mountain holding grenades several times in the telescope. This kind of counterattack would cause great shock to the attacking party.

"Report, Commander Qiu's telegram!"

Li Mingjun turned around and received the telegram. Qiu Qingquan did not blame him for not detecting it in time, but only ordered him to open the road as soon as possible and seize Linjiang. After the telegram had just been read, the telegram from the War Zone Command arrived again. Zhuang Jihua criticized him in the telegram, criticizing him for not detecting the changes in the Japanese army in time according to the changes in the war situation, and also asked him to occupy Linjiang as soon as possible, and then go south as soon as possible. Join the New First Army in North Korea. Finally, Zhuang Jihua told him in the telegram that from now on, the Armored Division will be under the command of the First Mechanized Army Command.

The telegram from the War Zone Command made Li Mingjun feel a little disappointed. This order shows that his armored division is no longer the center of the entire battle situation. As a result, he feels even more regretful and more anxious.

It was not only Li Mingjun who was disappointed, but Zhuang Jihua was also disappointed. He did not expect the Japanese generals to react so quickly and walk so firmly. In his opinion, the Japanese should at least fight for another day.

"I want to go back to Chongqing." Mei Youlan suddenly ran over and told him, and asked him if there was any opportunity to take it. This made Zhuang Jihua feel very sudden. He didn't understand why Mei Youlan suddenly remembered that she was going back to Chongqing.

"I'm going to bring Yaya and Momo out." Mei Youlan clenched her fists with confidence. After knowing that Yaya and Momo were disguised hostages, she had been thinking about how to rescue them from danger from last night to now. After the sky was bright, she finally came up with a solution. She excitedly ran to Zhuang Jihua and prepared to implement it.

Gong Xiuhua sighed beside him. The young lady traveled to most of China and interviewed people from all social classes. She thought she had been tempered and calm, but on a major matter, the young lady's temper was fully exposed.

Even if it is Soong Mei-ling's niece, so what? In the face of politics, these are not worth mentioning.

"Little sister, it's not time yet. Besides Yaya Momo, can you bring Pan Huiqin and her children out? There are also Song Xilian's wife, Lan Yundong's wife and children? There are Wang Xiaoshan, Li Anguo, their wife and children?"

Mei Youlan was stunned. These people were all Zhuang Jihua's friends. They worked with Zhuang Jihua for a long time and now control heavy troops in the Northeast War Zone. Du Yuming is the one who holds military power in the Southwest Development Team, Li Zhilong is the one who holds administrative power in the Southwest Development Team, Wang Xiaoshan controls the intelligence system, and there are many others.

The main cadres of Zhuang Jihua's system, their families are all in Chongqing, which is also a major reason why Chiang Kai-shek used him after he suspected him.

Detaining hostages is common in China's long and ancient political power techniques. From the Shang Dynasty recorded thousands of years ago to the warlord melee in modern times, from high-level political contests to urban gang fights, are common methods.

It can be seen from this that urban struggles are almost the same as party struggles.

"Little sister, don't worry too much. I already have several plans, which will definitely make everyone leave Chongqing safely." Zhuang Jihua said, giving Gong Xiuhua a wink and asked her to persuade Mei Youlan to leave.

Gong Xiuhua shook her head slightly and rubbed Mei Youlan's head intimately: "Little sister, you don't know some things yet. After this war is over, the Cultural Revolution will slowly tell you that things are actually more complicated than you think."

"Ah." Mei Youlan's beautiful big eyes widened, and then her eyes dimmed. She also knew that Zhuang Jihua was still hiding something from her, after all, her identity was a reporter.

"It seems that the eldest brother is planning a big thing." Mei Youlan muttered in her heart. She was sure that the eldest brother Mei Yuntian must know. It is not clear whether grandpa knows it, but Zhang Jingjiang must know it.

Gong Xiuhua pulled Mei Youlan outwards. As soon as they reached the commander's office, they met Weber and Bai Xiude. The two of them saluted on their backs, and it was obvious that they had just come from Shanhaiguan.

"my god!" Bai Xiude began to complain when he saw Gong Xiuhua: "The Xiong moved his entire northeastern headquarters to the city, and their people were everywhere!"

Gong Xiuhua couldn't help laughing. Xiong Shihui arrived in Jinzhou today. Before that, Zhuang Jihua issued an order to appoint Yang Sen as the commander of Liaoning security, Wang Lingji as the deputy commander, and Cai Tingkai as the acting commander of Heilongjiang security, and dispatched 108th Army to Harbin.

Although this series of orders only involved military and personnel, it still stimulated Xiong Shihui and asked him to come to Jinzhou immediately. Due to the restrictions on transportation, Xiong Shihui brought not many people. In addition to his secretary guard, there were also some staff members from the Northeast headquarters, and the main personnel were waiting for Shanhaiguan.

There are not many hotels in Jinzhou. The main hotels were occupied by members of the War Zone Command who arrived early and the Logistics Office of the First Army. Xiong Shihui's men occupied the remaining hotels as soon as they arrived. Now the entire hotels in Jinzhou are full, so Webber Bai Xiude and others naturally found the hotels.

"I know a place. It's a little smaller, but I can still live there." Gong Xiuhua became a little more enthusiastic. Weber was a part of Zhuang Jihua's plan and he had to be held.

Mei Youlan went out to wander listlessly. Gong Xiuhua took Weber and Bai Xiude to a citizen's home outside the headquarters. This family happened to have a room for rent.

In the combat room, He Wei was deducing the actions of the Japanese army in the next few days, and telegrams kept sending the latest situation on the front line. The eastern front changed the most. Overnight, the Japanese army withdrew and left only a few troops to block the attack. The main force was quickly moving south.

The Japanese army destroyed the road during the retreat. Qiu Qingquan was walking and building bridges and roads. He rushed to the Yalu River at the speed of a snail climbing. The 103rd Army and the 102nd Army were attacking Tonghua. The Japanese 174th Division and the 183rd Division were fighting and retreating, and had retreated to Tonghua City. The 101st Army and the 2nd Cavalry Army occupied Baishan, Jiangyuan, and the vanguard of the Second Cavalry Army occupied Yayuan. He was preparing to cross the green, penetrate into Guanniaoshan City, and cut off the Japanese retreat route of Tonghua.

After losing the Japanese army in the Jingmu Mountain area, He Wei focused his attention on the two divisions in Tonghua, intending to use these two divisions to relieve his anger.

The battlefield on the Western Front changed the most. Xia Yanglin led the vanguard troops to Xiuyan in the early morning and launched a strong attack on Xiuyan with Lu Ruishan. At dawn, the Japanese army's second brigade of the ** tank brigade retreated in a panic. Lu Ruishan and Xia Yanglin took advantage of the victory to pursue the Japanese retreat quickly turned into a fleeing.

The Japanese army's frontal blockade had completely collapsed. The frontal army was pursuing them, and it was not the Japanese army that caused them the greatest difficulty, but the highway. Hundreds of thousands of troops were crowded on the highway, and everyone wanted to snatch the front, and the various troops quarreled endlessly. The telegram even came to the theater headquarters. He Wei ordered Song Xilian to be fully responsible for commanding the Second Army and the Twenty-Three Army in the name of Zhuang Jihua, and then it was considered to be the case to suppress this matter.

The Fifth Army and the Fifty Army, which were detouring, were running towards Fengcheng at a speed, and they were also restricted by the highway. The Fifth Army was also a mechanized unit and movement was inseparable from the highway.

"I have an idea," He Wei looked up from the map and looked at Xu Zuyi and said: "Now all units are in a mess. After all, the road traffic conditions are very poor. I think if some troops are stopped, such as the Fifth Army and the Twenty-Three Army. Now the Changchun area of ​​Shenyang is empty, so that the Twenty-Three Army will go north and occupy the extremely surrounding areas of Changchun; the Fifth Army will remain unmoved."

Zhuang Jihua rarely appears in the war room, and Xu Zuyi is now in charge of the battle. He heard He Wei's words, and he thought for a moment and felt that it was reasonable. The Japanese army had already moved south, and the detours of the Fifth Army and the Fifty Army had already failed. By the time they arrived, the main force of the Japanese army had already retreated south of the Yalu River.

"Ma Labazi! This little Japanese runs faster than a rabbit, how can it become such a virtue!" Shangguan Jun couldn't help but curse. They racked their brains and finally aimed at it. Naosabu Okabe jumped out of his sight, which made everyone feel frustrated.

"It's useless to curse. If Naosaburo Okabe dares to fight to the decisive battle, he will not leave Shanhaiguan."

Zhuang Jihua's voice came, and the officers in the combat room stopped their work and saluted Zhuang Jihua together. Zhuang Jihua ignored it and walked straight to the map.

"Our movements are too slow, the Japanese run too fast, and we can't catch up. Since that's the case, we should focus on stability." Zhuang Jihua stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, looked at the map and said, "The Fifth Army stopped moving south and immediately turned north and entered Changchun, and telegraphed Sun Zhen to formulate a Changchun defense plan and told him to especially ensure the connection between Changchun and Harbin."

"Tell Sun Liren, after occupying Dehuo, he stopped moving westward, defend Dehuo, and went to warn him that the Japanese had a lot of troops in North Korea, and he was now alone. Even if Naosaburo Okabe did not react yesterday, he should have reacted today."

"Tell Qiu Qingquan to arrive in Linjiang as soon as possible, occupy Changbai Mountain, and support Dehui. Qiu Fengzi may be cursing again."

Xu Zuyi smiled at once. Zhuang Jihua drove Qiu Qingquan's mechanized troops to the mountains. Qiu Qingquan's hot temper was impossible without scolding her.

"Commander, I think, let Qiu Qingquan stop and then stop advancing after occupying Linjiang. They are mechanized troops and simple infantry from time to time," He Wei suggested: "Let the Forty-Nine Army go south to Changbai and support Sun Liren."

Xu Zuyi shook his head: "The Forty-Nine Army's movement route is too far, and it will take at least three or four days to rush over. It is better to let Sun Liren retreat to Changbai and leave only a small part of the troops in Dehui."

Zhuang Jihua shook his head again: "The New First Army also has a lot of heavy equipment. I think they will build a position in Dehui. The New First Army has 50,000 troops and two regiments of airborne troops. The total strength is more than 50,000. Even if the entire Japanese army attacks, they can hold on for at least one week. With this week, my 500,000 troops will arrive."

"If I were Naosaburo Okabe, as long as Sun Liren stopped, I would ignore him," He Wei said: "Okabe's strategy is to defend North Korea. He had established pre-set positions in North Korea in advance. What he had to do now is to attract our army to his pre-set positions, so he should not fight us in a decisive battle with us. I agree with the commander's opinion and let Sun Liren stop at Deok-hui."

"Okay, that's the decision." Zhuang Jihua made the final decision, then left the war room with a wave of his hand.

Xu Zuyi quickly gave He Wei an order and asked him to draft orders according to Zhuang Jihua's intention, but he chased him out and caught up with Zhuang Jihua in the yard.

"Commander, are you worried about something?" Xu Zuyi looked at Zhuang Jihua with concern and was nervous.

After working with Zhuang Jihua for a long time, he also understood some of Zhuang Jihua's habits. The New Sixth Army was in Changchun, and the troops near Changchun were not empty. He still transferred the Fifth Army north to stay away from the Korean battlefield. Zhuang Jihua must be worried about something.

Xu Zuyi didn't know whether Zhuang Jihua was worried about GCD or Soviet Russia. The Soviet Far Eastern forces were progressing very quickly. After the main force of the Manchurian Defense Forces was annihilated, the remaining troops collapsed and were fleeing to the country. Dai Anlan reported that he had received about 100,000 Manchurian Defense Forces on the border, and the GCD controlled the area longer and more.

Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while, looked up at the north, and then nodded slightly: "Just prevent it, I hope it won't happen."

Xu Zuyi felt a little cold in his heart. He still didn't know what Zhuang Jihua was preventing, whether it was GCD or Soviet Russians. He estimated that the former was more likely. After all, China and the Soviet Union had just reached an agreement and the moist tracks were not dry. Stalin would not be able to take the world's foul, so he tore up the agreement.

"That's it, notify the Logistics Department that one-third of the supplies transported to the Northeast will be delivered to Changchun, one-third will be sent to Shenyang, and also, tell Yu Peili Gao Zhihang to restore Shenyang and Changchun airports as soon as possible, and the Air Force will enter the Northeast as soon as possible."
