After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, everyone immediately understood Zhang Yunfei’s intention.

Everyone thought to themselves that this time the commander-in-chief not only had to control the Great Wall defense line, but also had to fight the nearly 100,000 Kanto that the Japanese went south.

Thinking of this, everyone was looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Now, influenced by Zhang Yunfei, everyone has long lost their original worries, and what has become more confident and firm. At present, Zhang Yunfei's words and deeds have deeply influenced everyone. With Zhang Yunfei's backbone, everyone has confidence in their hearts.

What about the 100,000 Kwantung Army? So what about the chariot brigade? Everyone was full of heroism and confidence.

Zhang Yunfei looked around everyone and saw that everyone's expressions gradually became full of confidence. Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and felt relieved. He then said, "Send a report to the 5th Column of Qinhuangdao, asking them to mobilize local people, and escort more than a thousand puppet troops captured in Chengde, and seize the time to build an airport in Qinhuangdao."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunfei added: "Tell the 5th Column again that the airport location should be at least 20 kilometers away from the coastline. Tomorrow, a few experts will be drawn to guide the construction. At the same time, we will also speed up the construction of several early warning radar stations in Qinhuangdao."

Zhang Yunfei did this and built the airport at least 20 kilometers away from the coastline to prevent the Japanese warships from coming to cause damage in the future. It must be built outside the range of the Japanese guns.

In addition, in order to prevent the Japanese Kwantung Army's aircraft, it is necessary to seize the time to build several early warning radar stations. Now, the equipment of the early warning radar station is ready-made. As long as you transport it from Datong and select a suitable place to install and debug in Qinhuangdao.

In the future, naval bases were built in Qinhuangdao, and airports and early warning radar stations were also built. Zhang Yunfei adhered to the concept that it was better to build early than late construction. He immediately ordered the troops to start building these things.

....................................

The second day after the 5th Column recovered Qinhuangdao, that is, June 18.

Zhangjiakou.

The 9th and 10th columns stationed in Zhangjiakou, as the reserve team, began to move towards Qinhuangdao.

The vanguard was a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and off-road vehicles, as well as two regiments of cavalry units, and behind them, a long queue of trucks, each army-green truck was filled with rows of soldiers with guns and live ammunition.

At present, each column of the 36th Army is equipped with a large number of large military trucks. As the trucks are equipped with a large number of troops, the mobility performance of the troops has been greatly improved. The soldiers of various infantry regiments can take trucks to maneuver quickly.

Zhang Yunfei has plans to motorcycle and even mechanize all infantry. Now, mechanization and motorization are constantly underway. For example, mechanization has also achieved some results, and each column has mechanized infantry regiments and tank regiments.

As for motorization, it is still the focus of each column. Nearly half of each column has achieved motorization. Relying on these trucks with large amounts of equipment, the maneuverability of the troops has been greatly improved.

Among them, motorized infantry refers to a group of troops that carry out maneuver and hike on foot. Its characteristics are that they move fast before the battle begins, adapt to various terrain conditions, and are maneuverable and flexible.

So. This time the two columns moved towards Qinhuangdao. The vanguard were of course tank regiments, mechanized infantry regiments and cavalry regiments. Behind these troops were a large number of trucks loaded with weapons and infantry.

The 9th and 10th two columns had about 70,000 people. After leaving Zhangjiakou, they would bypass Beiping from the north of Beiping and go straight to Qinhuangdao, and would work together with the 5th Column of Qinhuangdao.

Wu Youqing, commander of the 9th Column and Wang Daquan, commander of the 10th Column, who were riding in the armored command vehicle, were both calm, but they had already been a little excited.

Wu Youqing was the commander of the Armored Division, and Wang Daquan was the commander of the Heavy Artillery Division. After the establishment of the 36th Army, the two served as commanders of the 9th and 10th Columns respectively.

A few days ago, seeing the various columns fighting so well and fighting on the front line that the Japanese were suffering heavy casualties, the two of them could no longer hold back. They were unwilling to act as reserve teams. They had asked Zhang Yunfei for battle several times in private, but they had never received Zhang Yunfei's permission.

Yesterday, as soon as Zhang Yunfei's orders were received, the two ordered the troops to prepare overnight. As soon as the sky was dawn today, the two columns began to set out towards Qinhuangdao.

Qinhuangdao.

Early in the morning, the large army of the Fifth Column went east to Qinhuangdao and selected a site to build a defense line.

Between Qinhuangdao and Huludao, there is a vast flat terrain with a wide view and is very suitable for the maneuver of mechanized troops. Such terrain is a paradise for tanks, armored vehicles and off-road vehicles.

Seeing such a terrain, Xie Zhendong, commander of the 5th Column, knew that the next battle might have been a tank battle.

Because according to the intelligence, the first brigade of the Japanese chariots had already left Huludao this morning. The distance between Qinhuangdao and Huludao is only more than 150 kilometers. According to the Japanese marching speed, the first brigade of the Japanese chariots would reach Qinhuangdao this afternoon.

Finally, Xie Zhendong chose Wanjia Town, 20 to 30 kilometers east of Qinhuangdao as the main battlefield. The huge troops of the 5th Column began to build defense lines east of Wanjia Town.

Two tank regiments of the 5th Column were also placed at the front of the team. Behind the tank regiment were two mechanized infantry regiments, and the cavalry regiments were on standby and maneuvered.

The rest of the infantry were busy building fortifications, but because the terrain was too flat, the fortifications built by everyone were basically simple fortifications, mainly trenches, fox pits, etc.

In such a flat place, the best defense is actually attack. Everyone builds these fortifications just because they are afraid that it will be used if it comes.

Chengde.

After receiving Zhang Yunfei's order, the 4th Column located in Chengde immediately sent troops to various sections of the Great Wall, firmly controlling the Great Wall near Peiping, Chengde and other places. The 4th Column sent tens of thousands of troops, a total of six infantry regiments.

With the issuance of Zhang Yunfei's orders, all the troops were moving in an orderly manner. Zhang Yunfei from Datong also received a lot of information, and the situation of the Japanese reinforcements became clearer and clearer.

At noon on June 18, Datong, the 30th Army Command.

Zhang Yunfei was looking at the map carefully with the Chief of Staff Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Director of the General Political Department Comrade Deng Wenping, and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief Comrade Liu Dazhu.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan also marked something on the map with pencils from time to time. While looking at the map, several people also occasionally talked.

"Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese vanguard's vanguard's vanguard moves so fast. It's only two or three hours away from the position of the 5th Column."

Zhang Yunfei nodded, but did not answer, as if he was thinking about something.

At present, Zhang Yunfei is quite clear about the movements of the Japanese. The flight brigade's planes frequently investigate the area between Jinzhou and Qinhuangdao. The flight brigade sent the reconnaissance back to the 36th Army Command.

Zhang Yunfei pondered for a long time, and suddenly there was a firm look in his eyes. When everyone saw Zhang Yunfei's expression, they knew what Zhang Yunfei had thought of and what might have made new decisions.

Sure enough, Zhang Yunfei said: "Comrades, look at the terrain between Qinhuangdao and Jinzhou. It is very flat and is very suitable for our tanks, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles, and even cavalry maneuvers. In addition, such terrain is more difficult to defend, and there is basically no danger in the terrain for defense."

"So, I think, we should take the initiative to attack, and offense is the best defense. This time, the Japanese vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard and a ** mixed brigade have left Jinzhou for hundreds of kilometers, and the three divisions behind have not yet left Jinzhou City."

"The Japanese are so arrogant. The Japanese are simply going deep into the ground alone. Let's hurry up and fight the Japanese's vanguards' vanguards and kill them with their aura."

What Zhang Yunfei said about the solitary army is relatively similar. The Japanese do not think so, because the Japanese's follow-up large troops and the vanguard troops were only more than 100 kilometers apart, and for cars, it was only a few hours away.

Therefore, although Zhang Yunfei said that the Japanese were going deep into the ground alone, Zhang Yunfei also emphasized that he should seize the time. As long as the battle with the Japanese vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's subsequent troops would be afraid that the Japanese would come here in a few hours.

The Left Chief of Staff next to him also nodded: "Commander-in-Chief, I fully agree with your point of view. With such a terrain, offense is indeed the best defense. Our initiative to attack at this time is indeed a wonderful move."

Zhang Yunfei nodded, but to be on the safe side, Zhang Yunfei asked about the locations of each unit again.

A colonel combat staff next to him saw the commander-in-chief ask him, immediately responded respectfully: "Hey Commander-in-chief, the vanguards of the 9th and 10th columns advancing to Qinhuangdao will reach Qinhuangdao around 5 pm this afternoon. The tank regiments, mechanized infantry regiments and cavalry regiments of the 4th column are also ready for combat and are ready to attack at any time."

As we all know, the vanguards of the 9th and 10th columns must refer to tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments. At this speed, the large truck troops will reach Qinhuangdao tonight and tomorrow morning.

With the strength of three columns and the 4th column in Chengde, it is possible to fight hard with the Japanese reinforcements. Chengde is not far from Qinhuangdao. If the 4th column needs reinforcements, its vanguard can reach it in a few hours.

With so many troops, everyone is obviously confident. They all look at Zhang Yunfei with eager eyes, waiting for Zhang Yunfei to give orders.

Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone and immediately began to convey combat orders with a serious look on his face.
