Chapter 292 Decisive
Chapter 292: Decisive
Nanjing Pukou Railway Station. A blue steel train is ready to go. The station is full of black people sending off. The capital military police, capital police, and the Presidential Guard are trying their best to maintain order. However, people's enthusiasm is still like overturning the railway station. Military music, gongs and drums, and people watching the ceremony. Representatives of various organs and groups in the capital. In addition, the spontaneous gathering of people makes the atmosphere here feel as warm as a volcano.
On the morning of June 10, Yuchen made an inspiring declaration of oath at the Capitol. He announced that he would go north to take charge and personally direct the decisive battle that determined the fate of the Republic of China. The god of war in the Republic of China will finally fight again. The decision of the president who had never lost the battle after his rise immediately pushed the people's enthusiasm to a new climax. He is the symbol of victory. His position in the north shows his attitude. In this decisive battle, he only needs victory, and he must not and will not fail! At least in the minds of the people, this is what he thinks.
The Presidential Guards and the most mysterious and elite troops in the Republic of China were also heading north with Yuchen. The defenses in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were completely left to Wu Cai and Jiang Baili, who were in charge of Nanjing. Song Jiaoren and others were responsible for the matters behind the government. The diplomatic aspects have been arranged. Now the Allies and the United States are already supporting the Republic of China at least in terms of arms and aid. Further diplomatic matters can only rely on victory on the battlefield to speak! At such a turning point, Yuchen does not want to be an outsider.
The train station cheered, and the people in the capital shouted slogans, waving the small national flag in their hands frantically, jumping desperately among the crowd, hoping to take a look at their young president. Further away are the villagers around Pukou. They stand on the ridges of the fields, climb on the trees, and will only applaud warmly around them. The simple eyes are full of devout faith in the president. The president goes north to fight the Japanese devils! The sound waves have merged into a turbulent river, echoing around the sky.
In the white air on the platform, Song Jiaoren held Yuchen's hand, and really didn't know where to start. It was not until the whistle that he sighed: "President, be careful this time when going north. Leave the matters behind me. If the army lacks any supply and military expenditure is short, I will only ask. If the Japanese army really expands the war, it will also launch an attack on the south. Even if Song is a scholar, he will fight with them to the end. I don't understand the military affairs when the president goes to the north. But I believe that the president is sure... As long as he wins on the battlefield, I still think that the peace agreement will be concluded sooner. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous. Every time a day of war is fought, the creatures in the north will suffer one more day... I hope to make peace earlier."
Yuchen is surrounded by government officials who see off, and a large group of fierce military adjutants. Everyone looked at Yuchen in the crowd. He was a little impatient with Song Jiaoren's words. But he was still listening carefully in terms of face. Song Jiaoren's Kuomintang and some government officials have now claimed in public opinion that this is not a decisive battle, but a conflict between China and Japan. After repelling Japanese ambitions, they should stop as soon as possible. The people must not have the mentality of fighting to the end. These arguments have also been echoed by some foreign public opinion. In this world, there are still many people who are afraid that the war between China and Japan will continue and affect the world situation. Since Japan is no longer reasonable, it can only hope that China can maintain a certain degree of restraint. Especially Britain and France, although they are biased towards China in terms of their position, they are involved in Belgium.
Compared with the war, they have already taken a few steps back. What they are particularly worried about is that the United States is unusually concerned about the war in Asia. If the war really continues, if the United States gets involved in the war in Asia, the power of China and the United States will be restrained, it will have a huge impact on the situation in Europe! So after Song Jiaoren and his friends shouted the slogan of restraint, the ambassadors of Britain and France hope that he will run more and more diligently. Influenced by the attitudes of Britain, France and other countries, Song Jiaoren and others have firmly strengthened their attitudes. Support Yuchen's counterattack, but hope that after the attack on Japan, negotiations will start as soon as possible. Even if the situation in the pre-war Northeast is restored, it is not impossible to discuss. In their minds, China is still weak after all, so it has a little wealth. If it is broken, their work over the years will be in vain.
Yuchen naturally understood their mentality, and their ideas were not unreasonable. But Yuchen knew that these people did not have such far-reaching gaze as theirs. I don’t know what kind of life-and-death relationship between the two Asian countries in the competition for the road to a strong country! Now that Japan’s backbone is not interrupted, the country still doesn’t know how much energy it will be restrained and how much price it will cost! He worked hard to create such a situation, and now he also has a national defense force with its strength that has reached its peak. He has the boiling national people. In 1916, he believed that he could change China’s future destiny! Leaving Nanjing to go north, one was to concentrate on commanding the war in the north, and the other was to leave Nanjing, the siege of these peaceful people from China and abroad. He wanted to let go!
He patted Song Jiaoren's hand and smiled and said, "Mr. Dunchu, thank you for your hard work. I know this war. Wait for me to return triumphantly. I will arrange a grand military parade...... Please let me know everything in the rear." He and Song Jiaoren shook hands again enthusiastically, then turned around and got on the train. Wu Cai and Jiang Baili and other senior officers Liuning, who were standing at the door of the train car, all saluted in awe. Their bodies were straightened. Their eyes were full of belief in Yuchen and their expectations for future victory. Yuchen just gave them a serious salute. Then he slowly walked up the escalator and explained everything they should explain. He was relieved to the two people staying behind.
The slogans of the surging crowd became louder because they saw the figure in military uniforms walking up the escalator. Yuchen's body paused slightly at the door of the car, and then slowly turned around. Looking around, there were all excited people and flying flags. Under the blue sky and white clouds in Nanjing in summer, all the colors were so bright. I finally got on the battlefield of the final battle! How much did I pay, how much did I sacrifice, and how much did I win? In such an era of ideals and heroes, I was like lightning, as flashes, and the most brilliant shining in the great era.
Suddenly, he felt that a man had lived up to his life. His life was heading towards the peak, and such an era that sparked and stirred up the prosperity would not come again. He took off his military cap and raised it high towards the people who saw him off. A firm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Waiting for the news of my victory! Goodbye in triumph!"
Under the clear sky, the Yangtze River flows eastward.
The gunshots were crackling like beans. The Japanese Hakikas-style machine guns were gasping and the gurgling roars of Lewis machine guns. There were also the sound of mortars and peaceful artillery explosions. On the east bank of the Giant River, after the dayfall on June 10, the Japanese reconnaissance patrol troops suddenly appeared between the front lines of confrontation between the two armies with dozens of times more enthusiasm than before. They seemed to want to desperately press back to the Wolf Juxu Cavalry Brigade, which controlled the frontiers of the position. The Japanese infantry and cavalry troops dispatched were also quite large in size, divided into squadron-level rules.
The power search screen of the Mo and Langjuxu Cavalry Brigade fought together. The main offensive of the Liaoxi Army was about to be launched the next day. How could they give up control of this battlefield? The battle between the small troops of both sides suddenly started on the whole line, with cavalry fighting each other and infantry shooting fiercely. The Liaoxi front line, which had been calm for several days, suddenly became a mess. Staff officers at all levels on both sides began to observe the terrain under the cover of the troops. The situation is now very obvious. The main troops of both sides are concentrated in this direction and are ready to launch a large-scale offensive. It depends on who will take action first!
After a night of march, Cai Hengwen arrived at the command center at dawn and almost immediately obtained a large amount of battlefield information from the Langjuxu Cavalry Brigade. There was only one conclusion, the Japanese army was preparing for a large-scale offensive! In addition to the original troops of the Third and Tenth Divisions, a large number of troops were also added. At dawn, the Second Flying Regiment sent out for reconnaissance, and a large number of traces of troops were found behind the Japanese front. In the daytime, there were also a large number of vehicles and horses moving forward in a steady stream! The heavy artillery drawn by twelve horses and a large number of ammunition were almost lined up on the road!
Colonel Chief of Staff of Tong Ziwen stepped into the command center, and Cai Hengwen and Major General Wu Peifu, the commander of the Fourth Army, met together and looked at the map. The phone ringing around kept ringing, all the troops on the front line kept reporting the situation. Seeing Tong Ziwen walking in with dirt, Cai Hengwen looked at him with a bright look and asked, "Zhen Ru, what's going on in front? Are the Japanese soldiers ready to act seriously?" Tong Ziwen took the teapot handed over by the guards, took a big mouthful of cold white, and then his face was heavy.
Answer: "Yes, I took the combat staff and walked around the Hedong area after crossing the pontoon bridge. I also went to the bridgehead position of the 27th Division to see it. The Japanese heavy artillery was already bombarding the pontoon bridge! The reconnaissance troops of both sides were already in a mess on the east bank of the Giant River. They were desperately pushing the other party's search troops backwards. The numbers of the Japanese Second Division and the First Division had been discovered, and the Sixth Division in southern Liaoning should have appeared. Good guy, our attack is now a tough nail!"
Wu Peifu still looked like that, with a thin, shaved face and his eyebrows fell off. Since the first Beiyang general who defected to Yuchen, he went to Sichuan, settled Xinjiang, and entered Tibet. He also became a national hero for a while, with a reputation everywhere in the northwest. After being in charge of the northwest border for a year, Yuchen personally ordered the general and led the 25th Division who had been expeditioning to Tibet in Xinjiang to join the Liaoxi Army and served as the commander of the main Fourth Army. It was the time when he was so arrogant. Even Cai Hengwen was polite to him. He frowned and asked in confusion: "Didn't our offensive operation in the Eighth Army of Dahushan, Heishan, affectionately?" Tong Ziwen said excitedly: "At least I can't see it yet!"
He pointed to the direction of Dahu Mountain in Heishan: "We have defeated the Japanese Sato detachment today at dawn, but we were immediately counterattacked by the 7th Division. The Japanese army in western Liaoning did not move south, but the Japanese Kwantung Army in southern Liaoning were pulled away! Now, according to comprehensive intelligence, the Japanese brigade is increasing continuously in this direction. The intention is very obvious. My opinion is, let's quickly turn off attack to defense. Since the Japanese are going to attack, we will rely on the Juliuhe position to use their superior firepower to kill them. After the Japanese consumed to a certain extent, we will cross the river to counterattack again! Commander, do you think this is OK? Do you want to report to the headquarters?"
He took a picture of the map: "The search force of the Japanese on the east coast has been extended for dozens of miles! The northernmost part is Laoniuquan, and the southernmost part is also Damintun. The 27th Division of the East Coast Bridgehead and the 21st Division are already threatened. The Wolf Juxu Brigade is also very open and desperately resisting the Japanese reconnaissance forces compressed. The battle is very hard. Even if the four divisions are added, they will probably not be able to shake the Japanese's situation. They have strong troops. To solve the problem, they must be in southern Liaoning! The Japanese's troops there are very weak now!"
Cai Hengwen fell off the red and blue pencil in his hand. After the radio started today, he had been in touch with the Tianjin headquarters and at the same time contacting his left and right wing troops. He had originally judged that the main force of the Japanese army would appear in the south of Liao, and the western Liaoning had been quiet. The Japanese army had weak forces. Who knew that the Japanese army suddenly turned their troops in this direction! But the northern headquarters was just asking about the situation of the Japanese army in front of him, and the plan to launch an offensive on June 11th was still not planned to change. He also felt a little bottomless. Could it be that the Liaoxi Army Group really wanted to fight a head-on attack here? He pointed to Tong Ziwen: "Zhen Ru, you guard the headquarters, contact the headquarters, and report the opinions you just made. Ziyu and I went to the front to take a look. Damn, if it really doesn't work, just fight to the death!"
The same is true for the surprise of Cai Hengwen's Liaoxi Army. General Yoshima Oshima, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Korean Army, and Masato Tanuchi, were old colleagues of the Sino-Japanese War of 1895. This time, he was given an important task. Tanuchi forced the Kwantung Army to shrink the front in southern Liaoning, strengthened the main force of the Korean army, and first wiped out the main force of the Chinese army in western Liaoning. It was to send great credit to him! In the past few days, the old guy secretly mobilized the troops and transported supplies as if he was crazy. He personally nailed the front line to command the advance of the troops. Tens of thousands of troops were swarming towards western Liaoning! He was not very clear about the situation of the Chinese army in front. The advantageous cavalry troops of the Chinese army controlled the battlefield on the east bank of the Juliu River. They only estimated that based on a small amount of information, there were about two or three infantry divisions in front of the Chinese army, one cavalry.
The military brigade, including the Langjuxu Cavalry Brigade with strong combat power and the 21st Division of the Anmeng Army. They assembled the first, second, third, and sixth Divisions, and the 10th Division on the front line, and the eighth and 11th Divisions arrived in Fengtian urgently as reserve forces. I believe that such superior forces can quickly defeat the main force of the Chinese army in western Liaoning, and then the Japanese army went south in large numbers to lay the situation in the northeast. This time the arrogant Kwantung Army fought for him! But on June 10, two days before the scheduled attack was launched. When the Japanese army took active actions to start to control the battlefield, they found that western Liaoning had also gathered a large number of main forces of the Chinese army! On the night of the nine days, the direction of Dahushan in Heishan was also occupied by the Chinese army. The Chinese army seemed to be preparing to attack them! This time they really met together!
General Yoshima Oshima urgently contacted Commander Masato Tanaka to report on the situation in person. The instructions were given that to burn the boats, the battle in western Liaoning must be resolved before southern Liaoning was broken. The headquarters of the dispatched army can continue to add troops to western Liaoning! The action must be accelerated! Oshima himself knew that due to various delays and the collection of grain and other materials, the Kwantung Army deliberately or unintentionally dragged back, and planned to assemble the troops of the four and a half divisions in front of him, as well as a large amount of heavy firepower and materials to be transported.
On the way, at Fengtian Eighth and the Eleventh Divisions reserves, only about half of the troops were reached! The troops were adjusting their situation, which was the most chaotic and fragile time. If the Chinese army suddenly launched an attack, then things would be really troublesome! He immediately issued an order. All the divisions on the front line drew troops to conduct tentative attacks, suppressed the Chinese army, and nailed them to the position. Destroy their preparations and bombarded the pontoon bridges above the Giant River with heavy artillery. In any case, we must persist until our troops are prepared.
The end! But the Chinese army's ace cavalry unit had tenacious resistance. They were maneuvering and flexible on the battlefield, with strong firepower, and strong fighting style. After a long time of fighting, they still controlled the battlefield! The Japanese army was still unable to push their power search screen to the front of their bridgehead positions! On the way forward the troops were transporting forward, there were groups of Chinese planes on the battlefield in western Liaoning for the first time! This was the first time that the Japanese army had understood the power of the air force on the modern battlefield.
Dozens of China's reconnaissance aircraft fighter light bombers hovered in the front and rear, hunting freely. Whenever they found an active target, they would rush down and throw bombs and fire. The Japanese army could only use rifle machine guns to shoot at the air. The school-firing artillery balloons they raised were also shot down by Chinese aircraft. The heavy artillery shooting at the pontoon bridge also lost its accuracy. After a long time, the Japanese army suffered hundreds of casualties just because of the air attack, and lost a large amount of supplies. There were only six old reconnaissance aircraft in the entire Chinese dispatched army!
All kinds of unfavorable factors made the general of Oshima feel heavy. He went to the front line to observe the situation in person regardless of the obstruction of his staff. In any case, he had to grasp the situation on the front line, report to the temple in a timely manner, and whether to continue the offensive. He had to rely on his judgment on the front line!
The Japanese general did fight for his life. Unfortunately, this place is no longer Cheng Huan, Pyongyang, Yashan, and it is no longer 1895.
In the eyepiece of the general's artillery team, the plains that slowly extended to the Giant River were all in their eyes. The bridgehead formation of the Chinese army was only more than ten kilometers in a circle. It was obviously a complete defense system. Luzhai, barbed wire and trenches were stacked. In the middle of the two armies, small troops exchanged fire from time to time. Clusters of white smoke slowly rose on the plain. This was the alternating shooting of artillery soldiers on both sides. Occasionally, a horse-riding team flew through the sight quickly, bringing dust and smoke in the sky. A Japanese infantry squadron was dragging the wounded soldiers to retreat to his position. There were cavalry waving their sabers behind them, chasing them. The Japanese army was desperately responding to the retreat of the squadron with firepower. The screams of the wounded seemed to be heard in the cover.
The staff around, including Lieutenant General Hanoi Rizo, the commander of the Second Division, and Lieutenant General Dating II, the commander of the Third Division, all looked heavy. They surrounded the General, slowly rolled their eyes, as if they had a lot of words to say. General Oshima concentrated on turning the artillery mirror, and the farthest place was a giant river like a white belt. There were already three floating bridges on the river, and the Chinese army's engineers were busy like ants. Huge columns of water exploded from time to time on the river. It was the Japanese long-range artillery that did not pose a great threat to the Chinese army because there was no reliable school shooting.
Oshima turned his head and said, "What do you think?" The senior officers of the cover department looked at each other. Lieutenant General Hanoi Rizo, the commander of the Second Division, stayed in the front of Juliu River for the longest time and understood the situation the most. He frowned and shook his head, "Not optimistic, Commander-in-Chief. We are likely to have encountered the main force of the Chinese army! Although our army was desperately extending to the two wings and preparing for the widest front for the attack, before the main force was dispatched, the battlefield was blocked by the enemy's cavalry and planes! We could not enter the prepared position calmly! According to limited intelligence, we already knew that a large number of Chinese troops on the west coast had arrived. On the flank of Dahushan, the Chinese army also launched a fierce offensive! There were the Korean army and the Kwantung army. The junction! We are not afraid of launching an offensive. But when we are unable to prepare thoroughly, we will attack the strong positions and powerful forces of the Chinese army. It is very likely to suffer heavy losses and fail to achieve the task... Qingdao is a lesson! The Chinese army has indeed made great progress in military technology! When the flanks cannot ensure safety and the preparation is not fully prepared, it is dangerous to launch a rash attack! In particular, the Chinese army is obviously preparing for an offensive, and they are now in control of the battlefield and are more prepared than us. If we are attacked by the Chinese army during the process of turning from defense to attack......" He was silent, and the words also came to the hearts of the officers present. Everyone was nodding silently.
Lieutenant General Reitou Hanoi smiled bitterly and said, "Before the Kanto Army restored the position of Dahushan in Montenegro, we should cancel the offensive. Then slowly press them down until we firmly control the east bank of the Giant River, and then launch a main attack on the Chinese army. If the Chinese army attacked us before, we could consume them in large quantities. This is the supreme opinion of the lower-ranking officials. Please decide."
Suddenly, a sound of echoing sounded in the cover department. Although these Japanese officers were arrogant, they were not military idiots. When they suddenly collided with the main force of the Chinese army head-on, the hasty offensive no longer existed. The only option of potential energy was to steadily attack. The main attack was launched on June 13th, and according to the current situation, it was only a dream.
Oshima seemed to have a bitter olive in his mouth, not knowing what it felt. He frowned, knowing that his subordinates had lost confidence in launching an attack immediately. He murmured: "The Lord of the Temple and all the people in China, and they have great hope for the offensive in western Liaoning...... The strategic plan for attacking in western Liaoning was also the ones that the Lord of the Temple had worked hard to get. Here he turned to the defensive situation. It destroyed the overall plan of the dispatched army and could not be forgiven..." He couldn't make up his mind for a moment and called his chief of staff Major General Kikujiro: "Let's go, go up the mountain to see! This place is still too narrow to see clearly."
At this time, three pink French-made MS fighters were hovering far away from the bottom of the clouds in the air. The three planes were painted pink, which was the image of the "Pink Squadron" that made the Germans scared in Europe. The leader was naturally Colonel Ding Yushang, who had already been promoted to the captain of the second flight wing. His second flight wing was the strongest flight unit in the country. The pilots returned from the European war accounted for the vast majority. The entire wing was under the jurisdiction of three flight squadrons, seventy-two fighter and reconnaissance bombers and eighteen trainers. After the engineers built the front-line airport in western Liaoning, they couldn't wait to enter here.
They had been conserving their power, and finally released the sharp knife on June 10th to reconnaise the situation of the Japanese army in front of them. At the same time, they destroyed their transportation and supply routes and prepared for tomorrow's offensive. As a result, Ding Yushang was lucky and as soon as he was out, he encountered the Japanese army moving in a large-scale movement! The three squadrons of planes were dispatched and started killing the Japanese army. The Japanese army, which had almost no knowledge of air power, suffered heavy losses under their attack. Ding Yushang even took the battle himself and issued an order for free hunting. The fighter planes were divided into various squads, kept on the Japanese front, and attacked all targets that were considered valuable!
This time it was his command team's second attack. The Japanese front-line troops had already shrunk into the trenches. People outside hid when they saw the shadow of the plane. The transportation road behind was even more cautious. Ding Yushang led his team to go in and out of the clouds, paying attention to the targets below at any time. This time, when he crawled out of the clouds, Colonel Ding suddenly saw a large group of people gathered on a small mountain, hiding a few eye-catching guys and climbing towards the mountain. He shook the wings and reminded his two subordinates to pay attention. He pointed at it again, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth. He pushed the nose of the aircraft violently, and three M-type fighters rushed down, and the 120-horsepower Land God Engine roared wildly. The nose pointed straight at the group of people!
The island was closely protected and marched towards an observation post on the top of the mountain. Almost everyone was watching the sky with vigilance, ready to deal with the air strikes at any time. As they were about to go to the top of the mountain, several officers shouted wildly: "Enemy plane! Enemy plane!" Everyone looked in the direction they pointed. They saw three planes drilling out of the clouds and whistling down frantically with the sunlight on their backs. The increasingly larger and larger shadows of the plane seemed to be a sign of death!
"Grandmaster!" Several officers set up a large island and jumped into the ditch on the side of the road. More people were crowded there and were at a loss. The three planes immediately spit out flames, and six fires whipped the group of Japanese officers like whips. The dust and smoke caused by bullets on the ground suddenly filled the crowd. Many people shook as the fire spurted. Three planes swept past. Ding Yushang looked back and saw that many people had already lying down on the ground, and more people had jumped into the deep grass and soil ditch on the side of the road to hide. Several people were dragging a few unmovable bodies and running around. He whistled with satisfaction: "Find out the next target to clean up! These Japanese devils are really brave. I am in the sky, and they dare to come out? I wonder how many have they reimbursed?"
The general of Oshima had already fallen into a trough and was swollen. When the bullet passed by him, the veteran Japanese army curled up in fear. When facing the enemy's brand new air force, when the engine of the enemy plane seemed to be yelling in his ears, he seemed to truly feel that it was not 1895 now! There were screams and wailing sounds around him. The hidden people dared to raise their heads after the enemy plane had gone for a long time. He heard a few people anxiously
He shouted: "Hiss Kikuto! Chief of Staff!" Major General Kikutojiro, chief of staff of the Japanese Korean Army, had been hit by several bullets in this air strike and died on the spot. When Oshima saw that Kikuto's head was hit by machine gun bullets like rotten watermelons, he finally made up his mind: "Give a call to the headquarters of the dispatch army, and it is unrealistic to launch an attack on June 13. Our Korean army is the main elite of the Chinese army in person. He requests to temporarily take a defensive moment, increase the force, and only after the adjustment is ready can the main attack be launched!"
"Commander, the tiger's den has been turned to intercept the Japanese radio telegram, which has been deciphered!" The chief staff member Qu Tongfeng stood in front of Cai E and Li Rui, with a little excited expression. All soldiers knew that at the moment when the war was about to break out, how important is it to obtain a definite piece of information?
Cai E and Li Rui were discussing something on the map table. The 50,000 map used by the two was covered with huge map tables. The symbols were marked densely around several key points. Listening to Qu Tongfeng's report, both of them straightened up. Cai E hurriedly said, "Remember!"
"The Japanese Korean army originally planned to attack on June 13, and requested a delay. We will take a defensive front in western Liaoning. We will wait for reinforcements to arrive and take the initiative in the battlefield. We will launch an attack again... They also seem to want to defend!"
Li Rui slapped the map to the west of Liao and cursed with some ridicule: "Damn, we and the Japanese all saw the same thing, and they both chose to launch a main offensive in western Liaoning. The intentions in southern Liaoning were not strong. As a result, the main forces of both sides collided head-on and were scared to each other. Cai Hengwen asked to take a defensive, and now the Japanese also wanted to take a defensive. The hard-working offensive was wasted! It's a deadlock! You have to adjust the situation quickly!" He looked at Qu Tongfeng: "Is there any instructions for the tiger's den?"
Qu Tongfeng said: "Director Sima has no specific instructions, he just said that he should adjust the situation quickly. After the plan is confirmed, he reported it." Li Rui nodded and said to Cai E who was frowning and pondering: "Mr. Songpo, what do you think?"
Cai E just looked at the map with his waist and slowly pondered: "It seems that the Japanese army really intends to stabilize the flanks and then go south to fight. It is the same as our intention to attack them on the flanks. Both sides think of one place. Cai Hengwen's main force of the Liaoxi Army can now restrain the Japanese army's main force in western Liaoning, including Fengtian, and six and a half divisions! Eliminate the two general reserve divisions still in the Guandongzhou area, and the two divisions on the sea are not obvious. In southern Liaoning, the Japanese army has only three and a half divisions of troops! And there are also considerable losses. The 19th Division is even more ruined. On their backs, the Eighth Army is threatening their retreat! Although western Liaoning is stalemate, the opportunity in southern Liaoning has appeared! It seems that the place where this offensive is really launched is here in southern Liaoning! Zongyun, what about your opinion?"
"The water is inconsistent, and the army is inconsistent. I agree with your opinion! There are nine divisions in southern Liaoning now, and they have formed superior forces. Let's do them here! The west attack and south attack are restrained and reversed. The troops in the south are pressed up! Now the area of Dahushan in Heishan has become a key point! Attract the main force of the Japanese army in southern Liaoning, adjust the troops, and attack head-only! Let their main force be mobilized on both sides of the southwest of the southwest to create a dilemma for the last assault of the Sino-Japanese Army. I agree with your opinion! The situation of the southern Liaoning Army is also very complete. It can be adjusted in two days. The Liaoxi Army still needs to launch an attack as planned, but it is just a feint, and then the southern Liaoning starts, trying to eat their arrogant Kwantung Army!" Li Rui's eyes were like lightning and his tone was as iron as iron, and he almost immediately made up his mind. He looked at Cai E with a warm look: "Mr. Songpo, the President is about to arrive here. Our big offensive is to welcome his arrival, make up his mind!"
Cai E looked at the map for a long time, especially in the area of Liaodong Bay, frowned and still pondering hard. After a while, he slowly said: "The 9th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese Army had all arrived in Liaodong Bay yesterday, but they did not go to land. Where did their movements go? Now we have only one Jiawu Army and the 3rd Division directly under the headquarters. The Liaonan troops have attacked. The Sino-Japanese Army cannot move lightly. The north is long. These two Japanese divisions can land and attack at any time. How can we deal with it? Now the troops of both sides are intertwined, and the front lines are unfolding in several aspects. We must consider more!"
Li Rui almost snorted coldly: "As long as the Liaonan Army attacks effectively, the two Japanese divisions will only be mobilized by our offensive! Only attack is the best way to mobilize the enemy. Defense is impossible to defend. Mr. Songpo, the military situation is changing, and the troops are ready to go, and the arrow is on the string. We must take the lead and make up our minds!"
Sima Zhan, who was waiting for Yuchen to go north in the tiger den in Tianjin, also sent a telegram to Yuchen to judge the situation: "………………The confrontation suddenly occurred in western Liaoning, and the main forces of both sides gathered, and it was difficult to find a breakthrough opportunity. The key point of external combat is to mobilize the enemy's troops, making it difficult to check the beginning and end, and find a direction to break through. Our army now has superior forces, with sufficient military reserves and high morale. It is the time to launch an external offensive in an all-round way. The Eighth Army on the front line of Dahushan, Heishan, broke into the battle situation. It is the key point of the battle. Ensure that here, our western Liaoning, Liaoning, western Liaoning, is the opportunity to launch a comprehensive external offensive. The Eighth Army on the front line of Dahushan, Heishan, broke into the battle. It is the key point of the battle situation.
The southern troops have been connected together. The time for the attack in southern Liaoning was ripe. But Mr. Songpo made up his final decision. If he did not launch a main offensive at this time, the main Japanese army came with a steady stream of reinforcements, and the war was not known...... The commander had called Mr. Songpo to put forward opinions. The final determination should be issued today. On June 13, the entire line of Liaoning could be attacked on the 13th. The previous two key points were that the western part of Liaoning must maintain the offensive, and the Heishan Dahushan must ensure that. As long as we gain the initiative and defeat the Japanese army in front of Liaoning, we should be absolutely sure.
The command operation in the temple was extremely stable, but it was also unstable. The main force was controlled in the inside line, and when the situation of our Liaoning-South Liaoxi Army had not yet promoted contact, it was unable to choose to make a decisive breakthrough. The only variable in recent times is the two Japanese divisions on the ocean of Liaodong Bay. It can be used for the inside line or for the outside flank attack. However, our army should have a solution to the countermeasure (the navy should have considerable initiative). On the day when Jun Zu arrived in Tianjin, the real battle would have completely broken out. The confidence in the office is enough, and only to observe the changes and development of the situation at any time……………”
On June 10, the Chinese and Japanese armies in Liaoxi finally received an order from their superiors almost at the same time in the afternoon. The order to General Oshima was that the Korean army could temporarily take the defensive moment, but they must step up their attack preparations and continue to closely observe the main trends of the Chinese army in front of them. If the Chinese army launches an attack, they will resolutely defeat them. The Guards Division is about to arrive in Fengtian to replace the defense, and the front line will increase the strength of the First Division to the Korean army. After receiving the order, Oshima suddenly felt relieved. He immediately distributed the power of various units to shrink the defense! Wait for the increased troops, weapons, ammunition and medicine to prepare sufficient preparations before entering the offensive.
The order Cai Hengwen received was extremely strict. The Liaoxi Army now focuses on two aspects. Emergency increase the strength of a division to the direction of Dahushan, Heishan, to ensure that the key points here are: the right wing forces shrink to the center. No matter how difficult the difficulties are, the main attack will be launched on time on June 11! No concerns are allowed!

On June 13, the Liaonan Army launched a decisive attack on the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army in front of him, and defeated the enemy in front of him with all his strength! Force the main force of the Japanese army to move south quickly!
