Chapter 1700: Continue the Attack


After the armored division of the Eighth Route Army seized Songyuan, Li Guotao immediately ordered the armored division to hold Songyuan, and then ordered the new Fourth Division and the new Fifth Division to immediately move south, and at the same time ordered the first part of the new Third Division to quickly support Songyuan and cross the Songhua River from Songyuan.Subsequently, the Japanese 1st Division and the 8th Division rushed to Songyuan one after another, trying to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army's unstable foothold to recapture Songyuan, but under the stubborn resistance of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese offensive was finally collapsed.Seeing that there was no hope of capturing Songbara, the Japanese army was forced to retreat, with the Japanese 1st Division retreating to Changling and the 8th Division retreating to Nong'an.The remnants of the Japanese 12th Division and the Nagata Brigade also gave up the southern retreat of Buyeo and retreated to Dehui.The Japanese army built a defensive line along the line of Changling, Nong'an, and Dehui to prevent the Eighth Route Army from continuing to attack Changchun in the south, and at the same time continuously transferred troops from nearby areas to the front line to strengthen this line of defense and protect the safety of Changchun.At this time, Li Guotao had moved his headquarters to Harbin, and the headquarters was still a busy scene, Li Guotao frowned and stared at the sand table in front of him for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.At this time, Ma Zhenguo quietly walked to Li Guotao's side, glanced at the sand table, and said softly: "The commander has just received the latest news that the 123rd and 124th divisions of the Japanese army have withdrawn to the Nehe River. ”"Well, that's good news."

Li Guotao nodded and said.Ma Zhenguo frowned and continued: "But we have received information that the Japanese army near Hailar is currently secretly assembling and seems to have made a move.In addition, the Japanese troops in the border areas such as Nenjiang and Heihe are also actively mobilizing, and there seems to be some big action. ”Li Guotao's expression finally became serious when he heard this, and he frowned and said: "As far as I know, in Hailar and the border areas north of Qiqihar, except for the 12th and 124th divisions of the Japanese army, there are not many main Japanese forces left, even if all the Japanese troops in the border area are withdrawn, how many people can there be" "Well, there are indeed not many people left in this area, but if they are all withdrawn, it is estimated that they can make up the strength of a division, plus the 123rd division and the 124th division, That is the strength of three divisions, and I am worried that the Japanese army will make a desperate gamble and concentrate all its forces to attack Qiqihar in the south. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said worriedly.At present, the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army is concentrating its main force to attack Harbin, and in addition to the new recruits in the Qiqihar area, there are some local troops, and the main force has only one teaching brigade, and the defensive force is indeed a little empty, so it is no wonder that Ma Zhenguo is worried.Li Guotao smiled and said: "You have to worry about this, if the little devil really wants to counterattack Qiqihar, then the 123rd Division and the 124th Division will not retreat." ”Ma Zhenguo thought about it, but he was even more puzzled in his heart, frowning and asking: "What is the intention of the little devil" Li Guotao said with a smile: "I was also thinking about this issue just now, judging from the information I have so far, I think the little devil is likely to give up the border line west and north of Qiqihar."

Then concentrate forces to defend the northeastern region of Heilongjiang.At present, the main energy of the little devils is still concentrated in Liaoning, even if we take Harbin and continue to advance to Changchun, so far we have not forced the little devils to draw troops from Liaoning to support the northern front, which shows that Yamada Otozo is still obsessed with wanting to destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Liaoning first, and then concentrate forces against us.In this way, it will be impossible for the Japanese army to launch a counteroffensive on the northern front in the short term, and can only focus on defense.Therefore, it is not surprising that the Japanese army concentrated its forces to defend the northeastern region of Heilongjiang. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded with a look of approval and said: "I really don't know what this Yamada Otozo thinks, the war in Liaoning has lasted for so long, and the little devil has never made any substantial progress, but Yamada Otozo still refuses to give up." ”Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said: "The war in Liaoning has developed to this point, and we have not taken any advantage, and now the war is still deadlocked, and the Japanese army has paid a heavy price, but it has never been able to achieve the intention before the war, Yamada Otozo is naturally unwilling to give up, so he can only continue to persevere." ”Ma Zhenguo sneered and said: "Yamada Otozo's obsession can only kill him in the end.Then what should we do next to continue to attack Changchun" "Of course" Li Guotao said with a serious face: "The matter has come to this point, we have no other choice, the main force on the battlefield in Liaoning has restrained the main force of the Japanese army, and almost every day there are hundreds of thousands, or even more soldiers sacrificed, and their blood must not be shed in vain."

Since the little devils are unwilling to send troops north, then we will continue to attack, and take advantage of this opportunity to fight the little devils as much as possible and recover more lost ground. ”"Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "At present, the Japanese army has abandoned Baicheng, and according to the current intelligence, there are not many Japanese troops left in Tongliao.In this way, our new 1st Division and the 2nd New Division have withdrawn their hands, whether to attack Tongliao or to assist the main force in attacking Changchun. ”"The attack on Changchun is not only the capital of the puppet Manchuria, but also the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which can be said to be the heart of the Japanese army in the northeast.I don't believe it, when the main force of our army surrounds Changchun and arrives at the city of Changchun, he Yamada Otozo can still be indifferent. ”Li Guotao said with a firm face."

Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded deeply, then turned around and glanced at the sand table, and said with a serious face: "In this case, I think we can order the new first division and the new second division to immediately advance eastward, recover Tongyu, Da'an, Qian'an and other places, enter Changling, and then cooperate with the main force of our army, the Japanese army will launch an attack on the defensive line on the periphery of Changchun, as long as the Japanese defense line is broken, our army can drive straight into Changchun City." ”Li Guotao looked at the sand table and nodded with a smile and said: "Your thoughts coincide with mine, just do it, and send orders to Changde and Li Yongfu to remind them to speed up and arrive at Changling as soon as possible."

As for the rest of the troops, they must also be ready for battle at any time and be ready to attack the Japanese army at any time.The Liaoning front is tight, and we must seize the time, overcome all difficulties, and defeat the main force of the Japanese army near Changchun. ”"I'm going to deliver the order."

Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.Li Guotao turned around and glanced at the sand table, couldn't help but have a smile on his face, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked leisurely.aa2705221:
