When our North Road Corps launched a powerful offensive towards Manzhouli, the Japanese Kwantung Army Command ordered the Kwantung Army Command to form a new line of defense in Changling, Changchun, and Harbin in North Manchuria according to the crisis faced and the new strategies of the Japanese base camp, and at the same time, it dispatched troops from the west of Rehe and Liaoning to strengthen defense.

The Chinese army suddenly went out of Outer Mongolia, and the steel army entered the western part of North Manchuria, which caused chaos in the Japanese military strategic defense. Simply put, the Japanese army's defensive strategy was completely targeted in the Northeast. With the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Japanese base camp completely canceled the plan to advance northward. Therefore, our assault corps entered the Northeast and was not surprising that the Japanese army was fighting.

Ten days passed, and the Japanese base camp finally figured out the combination of punches I launched continuously. The purpose was to cover my troops out of the northeast. Therefore, the Japanese base camp ordered the commander of the Kwantung Army to immediately form a line of defense to prevent the Chinese army from developing in depth to the east. To this end, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Shigenobu, was appointed to serve as the commander-in-chief of Manchuria Defense and be responsible for all defenses.

At the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Changchun, Muto Shigeon looked at the chaotic situation on the street and his face was very ugly. Suddenly, such a crisis occurred, Puyi, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, was so scared that he led a group of ministers to flee to Fengtian. Puyi took the lead in fleeing, causing the old and young men to escape from the Manchukuo nobles. At present, rumors are flying all over the city of Changchun, saying that the Chinese tank troops come in from the west, and that there are countless tanks. In addition, it is said that the powerful Japanese army cannot resist at all, and Chinese tanks directly crushed the Japanese soldiers, and the people after the tanks were crushed into meat pie.

People's words are terrifying, but yesterday they were still restless, singing and dancing. The war seemed to be far away from them. In a blink of an eye, the Manchus Emperor Puyi and his ministers collapsed first. The emperor chose to escape, which then produced a multi-meter-card effect, exacerbating the chaos in Changchun City.

Seeing Changchun City like this, Commander Shigenobu Muto felt a sense of powerlessness. The Northeast Japan Empire has been in operation for so many years, and facing a sudden blow, the people's hearts are so fragile, which shows how fragile the foundation of Japan is. Faced with such a bad situation, Shigenobu Muto was still clear-headed. According to the order of the Japanese base camp, he issued a mobilization order.

The Japanese residents on the front line in Manchuria were ordered to retreat to South Manchuria. All the soldiers in the village, including adults aged 16 or even 50, were included in the wartime sequence. He was determined to defend Manchuria, and the center of his defense was now the Changling and Changchun line, which was a strategic location to ensure the eastern and southern Manchuria. Therefore, a Japanese division that was reinforced from the western part of Fengtian directly built fortification defense in Changling. In addition, he quickly destroyed three Japanese divisions and continued to strengthen Changling defense.

In Changchun, in order to strengthen defense, he ordered three North Korean divisions, plus the original four divisions, to form a solid defense line. At this time, the Japanese Chief of Staff saw the commander's depressed expression and said: "God General, we have found out that the Chinese army has dispatched a large number of aviation troops, a large number of fighter jets and bombers, and some air forces in North Manchuria were quickly annihilated and the airport was quickly destroyed. This is a powerful proof."

The Chief of Staff continued: "After our analysis, the Chinese and US air force forces are in the eastern Alshan area of ​​Outer Mongolia. Their combat aircraft have at least 400 aircraft. At present, our Manzhouli and Qiqihar front-line airports are no longer available, and our nearest airport is Harbin. Because the distance is too far, it is impossible to form a powerful force to strike the airports in Outer Mongolia."

Shigeon Muto asked: "I am most worried about China being a tank unit. They almost copied the experience of the Germans and formed a powerful tank corps. The 12th Tank Brigade of Zalantun was wiped out as a whole 24 hours a day, which fully demonstrates that the performance of the enemy's tanks is far beyond ours, which is what I am most worried about."

The Chief of Staff said: "According to military intelligence, the Chinese army dispatched three tank divisions, with a number of about 1,100 tanks, and the tanks they hunted were heavy tanks, which could not be destroyed by ordinary infantry running. According to information, the Chinese infantry troops currently attacking Manzhouli are the Northern Line Assault Corps, two field troops, with a force of about 100,000, and another tank division is advancing towards Qiqihar in the Zalantun area."

Shigeon Muto asked: "How is the situation of the Southern Line Corps of the Chinese army?" The chief of staff said: "It has been found that the Southern Line Corps of China has two tank troops, and the infantry strength is unknown. In addition, a large number of cavalry units have appeared." Shigeon Muto said dissatisfied: "Order the intelligence forces to quickly find out the strength of the Southern Line."

At this time, an operational staff came to report: "Report, reconnaissance plane report, Chinese tank troops were found in the northern part of Da'an City!" Muto Shigeon was shocked when he heard this, and immediately looked at the map and said: "The Chinese army was going to encircle Baicheng, immediately ordered the 29th Division to defend Baicheng on the spot, and ordered Songyuan's tank troops to support the battle in the direction of Baicheng!" However, when the Japanese army discovered the subsequent battle situation, it was too late for the Japanese army to retreat from Baicheng.

Logically speaking, the Japanese army will fight to rescue if they are in crisis or encircled, but when facing tank troops, infantry in the field are lambs to be slaughtered. Muto is very confident in this regard. Using the flesh and blood of soldiers to deal with the steel army is undoubtedly a death. Especially the might of German tanks on the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet-German battlefield caused millions of Soviet troops to be captured in the early stage of the war, and all of this was caused by the tank assault corps.

The lessons of the car, the later division, is why Muto Shigeon was afraid of the tank troops. He also had a powerful tank unit in his hand. At first, he was not worried, but when he heard the bad news about the 12th Tank Brigade, he realized that his tank, even the latest Japanese tanks, could not compete with enemy tanks. Given that the Chinese tank troops appeared in Da'an, he had to order the 3rd Tank Division to support Baicheng to retreat to Songyuan. However, he still did not order Baicheng's Japanese troops to retreat.

I originally thought that the Chinese army would launch an attack on Baicheng in front to delay the speed of the march and gain time for the new defense line. However, the Chinese army did not play according to common sense and actually wanted to encircle the 29th Division. Muto Shigetsuno's forehead was sweating. Now he truly realized the combat ability of the tank troops to maneuver. But Muto Shigetsu knew that the Chinese were Xiang Zhuang and the sword was in Pei Gong, and the Japanese army in Baicheng no longer took it seriously.

"Report! Call from Manzhouli, the Chinese army broke through the periphery positions on all sides and was about to launch the final general attack. My 7th Division and the 17th Division were determined to stick to the last moment and be loyal to the emperor! The telegram was signed by Gujing and Murakami." Muto Shigetsu looked at the telegram, with a dazed expression and closed his eyes slightly. At this time, everyone in the headquarters was silent, with only the urging telegram.

At the beginning, the Japanese army in Manzhouli fell into a desperate situation, but Muto Shigetsu no hoped that they would defend tenaciously and consume a large amount of our army was dashed. The two divisions had nearly 50,000 troops. Since the Chinese army launched an attack on July 6, the periphery positions had been broken in just 5 days. How many days can the urban street fighting last?

At this time, the Chief of Staff asked carefully: "Commander?" How does it mean to answer. Muto Shigenobu said: "Salute to all the officers and soldiers of Manzhouli!" After that, he raised his hand first, and all the personnel in the headquarters raised their hands, implying that they would send them on the road together, because nothing is useful now.

At the Aleshan Front Command of Outer Mongolia, Commander Lin and Chief of Staff Chen Changjie stared at the map. The red arrows of our army moving up and down on the map made people feel excited. "Commander Lin, there is one thing I can't understand. Why is the Japanese army vulnerable?" Lin smiled and analyzed: "There are two reasons. One is that my troops went to Outer Mongolia and the Japanese army was unprepared. The lightning plan is very similar to the early combat mode of the German army's blitzing attack on the Soviet Union, but it was a little smaller. Our army can be at ease, which is completely the role of mobile combat in tank troops. The biggest function of tank troops is to prevent the Japanese army from carrying out battlefield rescue and ensure my encirclement of the Japanese army."

Lin Xi said: "Take Manzhouli as an example, under normal circumstances, our army cannot eat two Japanese divisions in one bite, but the terrain of Manzhouli has created conditions for me to encircle. The west of Manzhouli is within the Soviet Union, so I can use troops in three directions, southeast and northeast. Due to the mobile combat capabilities of the tank troops, we have been deploying tank brigades in the north and concentrated superior forces on the southeast sides, and the battle can be imagined. In addition, I quickly annihilated the 12 Japanese tank brigades in Zalantun, which in turn caused the Japanese army to be unable to reinforce Manzhouli, ensuring that our attack corps successfully encircled."

Lin Xie said: "Secondly, our army's equipment is much higher than that of the Japanese army, and the powerful firepower strikes are beyond the reach of the Japanese army. On the other hand, the Japanese army's military preparations have not changed much compared with the early stages of the war, and our army's combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced, and it has not been as good as the Japanese army. In addition, our strong air force cooperates with the Japanese army and the Japanese army has no strong fortifications and other factors, so it is no surprise that I attacked the enemy quickly. In addition, I can tell you that we used 300,000 troops to go out to the Northeast. In fact, Deputy Commander Mu had already thought of this situation, in other words, he had long been confident."

"Report! My left-wing corps on the southern front, the 3rd Tank Division's vanguard troops arrived near the northern part of Da'an!" A combat staff member quickly interrupted the conversation. Lin quickly aimed at the map and said decisively: "I judge that the Japanese army will soon know our intentions and ordered the 3rd Tank Division to quickly seize Da'an. On the one hand, it was vigilant in the Songyuan direction, and on the other hand, it was blocking the Japanese army in Baicheng!"

Chen Changjie said: "Are you worried that the Japanese army in Baicheng will escape?" Lin said: "Mutou Shigetsu is not a fool. I guess he would not have issued a retreat order to the Japanese army in Baicheng. In addition, it is very likely that it will order the tank troops of Songyuan to respond, which is the result I am very expecting. We may have to go through a lot of trouble to attack Baicheng, and it is much easier to annihilate the Japanese army in the wild. But I don't have a cold to the Japanese army in Baicheng!"

Chen Changjie seemed to understand Lin's meaning and asked: "Mr. Lin! The general attack of Manzhouli will be launched tomorrow! It is estimated that there will be no problem to capture Manzhouli before 15 days. Will the Japanese army in Qiqihar escape?" Lin said: "I don't think so. According to the information, the Japanese army is increasing troops to Harbin, so the Japanese army in Qiqihar will not give up, Commander Lu?" Lin turned to Lu Dahu and asked.
