Li Guotao pointed to the sand table and said with a serious face: "The Japanese army on the southern front has been transferred away from two main divisions, and now there is only one 10th division left, and the combat effectiveness of the 1st and 8th divisions has not yet recovered.But leaving a new 4th Division is enough to block the attack of the devils.If it really doesn't work, you can abandon the Jiangqiao defense line and retreat to the Qiqihar line.As for the Japanese army on the Eastern Front, it was also the strength of a half-division regiment, and its strength was far inferior to that of the Japanese Army on the Southern Front, so it was enough to leave the newly formed Third Division to defend the Eastern Front. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and reminded: "Even so, we can only draw out the armored division and cooperate with the independent third division and cavalry division to attack the Japanese army on the northern route, and our army does not have any advantage in terms of strength." ”"There is also a teaching brigade and a teaching brigade that all went north to assist the troops on the northern front and launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army on the north route, I think it should be enough to defeat the Japanese army on the north route."
Li Guotao said with a serious face."
The Teaching Brigade is responsible for guarding Qiqihar, and if the Teaching Brigade is transferred north, then Qiqihar will be an empty city."
Ma Zhenguo frowned and said worriedly.Li Guotao smiled and said: "Isn't there still a guard battalion of the headquarters, plus some local troops, it is enough to maintain law and order in the city, not to mention that the little devils can't fight Qiqihar for the time being, and the eastern front basically doesn't have to worry."
The Jiangqiao defense line on the southern front, even if it is broken through by the Japanese army, the new Fourth Division can be withdrawn to Qiqihar, and with the city fortifications, there is absolutely no problem in blocking the attack of the devils.By that time, the fighting on the Northern Front was also over.If the 50,000 Japanese troops on the northern route are defeated, the situation in Qiqihar will be completely reversed, and it will be the little devils who should be worried at that time. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought about it, feeling that what Li Guotao said also made some sense, and finally nodded and said, "Since the commander has made up his mind, then do it."
It's just that we have to settle the fighting on the northern front as soon as possible, and if the war drags on, it will be very disadvantageous to our army. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded, and then ordered with a serious face: "Since yesterday, the devil's offensive has slowed down, and it is estimated that they want to gradually consume the strength of our army and finally annihilate us in one fell swoop."
It's a pity that we will never let the little devils get their wish.Immediately order all troops, hold the defensive lines, and rest on the spot.The main force of the cavalry division crossed the Nenjiang River and rested and stood by in the southern area of Fufu County.The armored division withdrew from its position and retreated to the area south of Qiqihar City to rest and recuperate.Tonight, the armored division and the teaching brigade all went north and rushed to Fufu County to prepare for an attack on the Japanese army.Time is very precious to us, and the time for the general attack is scheduled for tomorrow morning. ”"I'm going to give orders to the troops and make detailed battle plans."
Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully and turned to leave.Li Guotao lowered his head and glanced at the sand table again, sighed deeply, took out a cigarette casually, lit it and smoked it leisurely, his eyes were always fixed on the sand table, as if he was thinking about something.In the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Changchun, Yamada Otozo slapped the telegram in his hand on the table in anger, and shouted loudly with an angry face: "At present, the Eighth Route Army has surrounded Jinzhou, the situation on the front line is critical, and the 71st Division is still blocked in Harbin, what are they doing to eat, are they all a bunch of stupid pigs" "Your Excellency the Commander is angry, the Imperial Army has prepared enough trains, and according to the plan, the 71st Division will be able to leave Harbin by train early this morning, However, the Tuba Road suddenly captured two small stations south of Harbin and destroyed the railway line for dozens of miles along the way, which caused the 71st Division to be temporarily stranded in Harbin. ”Chief of Staff Sadaichi Yoshimoto hurriedly explained."
A group of dirt and eight roads on Bagaya Road, first captured the Mudanjiang River, and now they have run to Harbin to make trouble, which is simply unreasonable.The railway garrison is also all waste, and it can't even protect the railway, and it can't even deal with a group of dirt roads, so what's the use of them," Yamada Otozo scolded angrily."
The Kha-Iran railway line is too long, and the railway garrison has a limited number of troops, so mistakes are inevitable.However, the Imperial Army is already doing its best to repair the railway, and to strengthen its defenses to prevent the Chinese from sabotaging the railway again, please rest assured that the railway will be fully repaired soon, and it will not be delayed too long. ”Yoshimoto wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said stiffly."
I don't want these excuses, the imperial army reinforced from all walks of life must rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible, you understand."
Yamada Otozo roared."
Hay reassures Your Excellency Commander that the strength of about one division drawn from Liaoning will arrive near Jinzhou by tomorrow at the latest.In addition, about a division of troops drawn from Jilin was also on its way south. ”Yoshimoto said hurriedly."
Hmph" Yamada Otozo snorted coldly, and his face looked a little better.At this moment, a devil staff officer hurriedly walked in and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, I just received news from the Railway Garrison Headquarters that the Eighth Route Army of Liaoning has captured the Deshengtai Station south of Tieling today, and destroyed a large section of the nearby railway, and the imperial army heading south from Jilin has been temporarily blocked in Tieling. ”"Baga" Yamada Otozo suddenly became angry, swept all the teacups and other things on the table to the ground, and said angrily: "These damn earth eight roads, in less than a year, so many earth eight roads have suddenly emerged all over Manchuria, and they have posed a fatal threat to the imperial army, if these hateful earth eight roads cannot be completely eliminated, Manchuria will never have peace." ”"What His Excellency Commander Hai said is very true, but the top priority now is to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, as long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army is eliminated, these local dirt and eight roads will become rootless, and the Imperial Army can slowly clean them up and break them individually.At present, these dirt roads are only destroying the railway line and slowing down the southward movement of the imperial army, and they cannot have an impact on the entire battle situation at all.Jinzhou City has a dangerous terrain and complete city fortifications, even if the Eighth Route Army concentrates hundreds of thousands of troops, the imperial army can resist for a while, and it should not be a problem to hold on until the imperial army reinforcements arrive. ”Sadachi Yoshimoto cautiously comforted."
In any case, the imperial army supporting Jinzhou from all walks of life must rush to the Jinzhou front line as soon as possible, and this time the main force of the Eighth Route Army entering Manchuria must be completely annihilated."
Yamada Otozo said angrily."
Hai" Yoshimoto replied respectfully.aa2705221:
