After hearing this, Bluher's eyes lit up and he pondered: "So, the Northeast New Army should be almost exhausted now. In Chinese terms, it should be the end of the strong bow."

"Yes, I believe that if the Northeast New Army will indeed transfer the air force deployed in Jiamusi and other places to the south.

That might be a difficult opportunity for us," Reeves said.

"Tell me about it." Bluher leaned on the chair with interest and waved his hand to Awei.

"In the China Eastern Railway incident, Zhang Xinghan completely deceived us and perfunctory us. This is a rogue act.

The failure in this battle is also a shame for our great Soviet Union.

Therefore, we must look for opportunities to avenge our past humiliation. Are you right, General, when you say you have a humble position?" Reeves said.

"Yeah." Bluher nodded in agreement.

"Well, now our opportunity has come. We just need to take advantage of the main force of the Northeastern New Army to engage in fighting with the Japanese in Dalian.

We can muster an absolute superiority in strength and launch another attack on Manzhouli and Heihe. The Northeast New Army cannot take care of both ends.

We will definitely be able to win, and even capturing the entire North Manchuria will not be a problem.

In order to ensure that the operation is foolproof, I also suggested that we should unite with the Japanese to conduct this battle.

We want the Japanese to hold back the main force of the Northeastern New Army in Dalian. As long as we capture northern Manchuria, the Northeastern New Army will lose its rear base.

There will be no doubt that we will be defeated. At this time, we and the Japanese will attack from the north and the south. We can divide the entire Northeast according to the railway lines.

"Having said this, Reeves lowered his voice and said: "Even after we deal with the Northeastern New Army, we can take the opportunity to attack the Japanese and take back the Brigade Military Port that originally belonged to us, and monopolize the entire Manchuria."

Blucher nodded with deep understanding and said in deep thought: "Reeves informed me that these insights of yours are very unique. I will seriously consider them and report them to the great SDL leader."

……………………

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others led their troops to catch up with the advanced regiments of Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe.

After joining forces, the troops were stationed outside Jin County (today's Jinzhou District, Dalian).

Jinzhou is the last barrier to Dalian, and the Japanese have deployed heavy troops here.

Zhang Xinghan did not rush to attack, but secretly took Jiang Baili and others to the frontier to reconnoiter the terrain and Japanese troop deployment.

Jin County is built on the east side of Dahei Mountain, which is the highest mountain in southern Liaoning and is extremely steep.

So if you want to enter Dalian.

It was necessary to break through the Japanese defense line of Jin County.

In Okamura Neiji's defensive operation plan, the most critical point is the Jinxian defense line, which is not only the first forward line of defense, but also the most critical spinning line.

Before the arrival of Zhang Xinghan and his troops, Hisashikari Takashi, an old Japanese soldier, had already adopted Okamura Neji's deployment despite all opinions.

The troops originally deployed in Jinshan were increased by 20%, and fortifications along the mountain were repaired and prepared to fight step by step.

In a forest on a high slope at the western foot of Dahei Mountain, Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope, turned to Jiang Baili and said, "Chief of Staff, the terrain here is quite steep.

Jin County is built on the mountains and the sea. If you want to pass here, there are only two ways. The first is to attack Jin County. The second is to take the sea route.

It's a pity that we don't have a navy, which means that this is the only way we have left."

Jiang Baili also frowned and nodded: "It can be said that this place is so dangerous. I think the Japanese army will definitely deploy heavy troops here. If they attack by force, the price will be too high."

"Let's go back first and then think of a solution." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said.

The group secretly returned to the secret headquarters located more than ten miles north of Jin County.

Jiang Baili and others all frowned and fell into deep thought. Read the full text of True Marriage and Love. Then they were worried about how to attack Dalian.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that the terrain here is really steep. It would be too difficult to attack by force." Gao Chu, commander of the 9th Division, complained while looking at the map.

"What can we do if we don't attack by force? Can we still fly to Jin County?" Liu Jianguo said casually.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Zhang Xinghan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this and he said: "Hey, we have a solution."

"What can I do?" Jiang Baili and others gathered around curiously.

"Jianguo's words just reminded me, so we flew over Jin County, bypassed the Japanese's first line of defense, and airborne!" Zhang Xinghan said.

"Airborne?" Except for Jiang Baili, almost no one else could understand it.

They all looked at each other, confused.

Jiang Baili frowned and said: "Commander, this airborne landing requires professional training. We have no qualified airborne troops at all."

"Then let's hurry up and train." Zhang Xinghan said.

Jiang Baili shook his head like a rattle and said: "Train now? No, no, there is not enough time. If you want to train a soldier into a qualified paratrooper, it will take three months to half a year at the fastest, otherwise it will be impossible to jump."

Die."

"Chief of Staff, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used. What you are talking about are qualified airborne troops.

What we need now is that as long as the soldiers participating in the airdrop can master the basics of parachuting and open the parachute, it will be enough." Zhang Xinghan said.

"The proportion of accidents that may occur will be greatly increased. Once an accident occurs in the air, the umbrella will be destroyed and everyone will be killed." Jiang Baili said.

"I know, but we have no choice. If we carry out a step-by-step frontal attack and fight this battle, we may not be able to win Dalian in a month.

Moreover, even if we win in the end, the price we pay will be extremely heavy." Zhang Xinghan said: "Have you ever thought about it, if we fail to capture Dalian before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, then the war situation may change instantly.

If a reversal occurs, more people may die by then.

Moreover, everyone should not forget that there is an enemy to the north of us who is not much better than the Japanese. So we cannot afford to delay it at all."

"Then we don't have qualified paratrooper instructors to help us train." Jiang Baili said.

"Don't worry about this, I have my own solution." Zhang Xinghan said.

"How long will it take for Commander to train?" Zhao Zhenfan asked curiously.

"For three days, up to five days, all paratroopers participating in the training must participate in the battle. Airborne to the rear of Jin County, cooperate with the main force to attack from inside and outside, and break through the Japanese defense line of Jin County in one fell swoop.

As long as we conquer Jin County, the urban area of ​​Dalian will be right in front of us, and all that remains is to besiege Lushun Fortress." Zhang Xinghan vowed.

"Three days?" Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others all couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Zhang Xinghan said decisively: "Time is running out, and I decided to implement this plan immediately. During the few days I leave, all the troops will be temporarily commanded by Uncle Wang, Commander Huang, and the Chief of Staff.

Remember to launch appropriate attacks on the Japanese troops in Jin County one after another to create the illusion that our army is launching a frontal assault in Jin County, confuse the enemy, and win opportunities for our airborne troops."

"Yes!" Jiang Baili and the others quickly stood up and responded.

After making up his mind, Zhang Xinghan immediately transferred a thousand elite officers and soldiers with good physical fitness from each division and quickly drove to Jinzhou by car.

At the same time, Gao Zhihang was ordered to dispatch a group of air forces to station at Huludao Airport.

He also ordered Du Ting to escort the 30,000 prisoners to Jinzhou.

Outside Jin County.

Two infantry battalions and one tank armored battalion of the Northeastern New Army are ready to attack.

Heavy artillery units and air force fighter planes are bombing and shelling the Japanese troops in Jin County.

The whole Jin County was filled with the roar of cannons and the sound of explosions.

The sound echoed into the valley for a long time, scaring all kinds of wild animals in the mountain forest into fleeing.

Half an hour later, the first batch of bombing and shelling ended one after another.

More than a thousand officers and soldiers from two battalions of the Northeastern New Army immediately launched a tidal wave of charges toward the Japanese positions outside Jin County, under the cover of dozens of tanks from one tank battalion.

The Japanese have been operating in Dalian for a long time, and most of the fortifications in Jin County are complete.

The field defense positions outside the city are connected by tunnels to the city and even to the foothills to the east.

A large number of individual bunkers similar to the cat's ear holes later invented by the People's Liberation Army were also excavated and built in the trench fortifications.

The Japanese army was good at digging and building fortifications. It was said that it only took them more than three hours to march to a certain place before they could dig out a set of quite high-quality fortifications.

Although it may be an exaggeration, it is undeniable that the level of fortifications built by the Japanese army, whose entire army has undergone formal military training, is far superior to that of the Chinese army at this time.

Of course, the Northeast New Army is an exception because they are commanded by Zhang Xinghan, a time traveler.

Zhang Xinghan, who has Mao'erdong with better defensive capabilities, has long taught all his skills to his subordinates. Now these fortification digging skills have already penetrated into the grassroots units of the Northeastern New Army.

Closer to home, the Japanese defense line in Jin County has been in operation for a long time, and now it is guided by a cunning old Japanese named Okamura Neiji.

This person has a strong ability to accept fresh food and has strong creative thinking.

Therefore, the Japanese army was fully prepared in the defense line of Jin County and even the entire Dalian, especially how to fight against the invincible tank and armored units of the Northeast New Army.

Dozens of Panzer IV tanks rumbled along, firing at the Japanese positions from time to time, and the machine gunners were also on alert.

More than a thousand infantrymen followed closely behind the tank group and slowly advanced.

On the battlefield, there was only the rumble of tanks, the footsteps of infantrymen, and the collision of grenades and other equipment as they walked.

There was no other sound, especially the Japanese field positions that had just suffered bombing and artillery shelling. It was so quiet that it was even more disturbing.

Soon, the attacking force was less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position, and the tank crews stopped attacking one after another. Past combat experience told them.

We can no longer move forward blindly.

The tank stopped moving forward, but did not shut down, and was ready to fire support at any time.

The infantry following the tank group immediately poured out like a tide, roared deafeningly, and charged towards the last two hundred meters.
