The sun rose again, and the sun shone on Li Guotao's body through the window, and Li Guotao, who was sleeping on the table, opened his eyes, stood up and stretched.Li Guotao was also very excited about the victory on the front line, and because the battle was not over, Li Guotao did not go back to sleep, but just lay on the table and squinted for a while.At this time, Yang Xuecheng walked over and said excitedly: "The commander is awake." ”"Well, what's the situation now," Li Guotao nodded and asked."
Haha" Yang Xuecheng couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Our army has won a complete victory, and the little devil has been defeated, and now our army's morale is great, and we are still continuing to hunt down the little devil, and the little devil can't stand up at all, so he can only keep defeating." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a serious face: "But it's about the same, I think it's better to order the troops to stop attacking, after all, the soldiers have been fighting for so long, and they are all tired."
What's more, we had already chased out for more than 100 miles, and at that time we did not expect that the little devils would be defeated so quickly and thoroughly, and the preparation was somewhat insufficient, the battle line was too long, and there would be problems with logistics support.It is better to stop the offensive for the time being and order the troops to rest for a while. ”"Hmm" Yang Xuecheng nodded, although he was a little unwilling in his heart, he had to admit that what Li Guotao said was reasonable.Then he said with a serious face: "Okay, I'll immediately notify all the troops on the front line to stop the pursuit and rest on the spot." ”After Yang Xuecheng finished speaking, he turned around and gave an order to a staff officer, who responded respectfully, turned around and hurriedly went to convey the order.Li Changsheng, who was next to him, stretched out his hand and patted Yang Xuecheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I said Lao Yang, don't be unwilling, we defeated the Japanese 7th Division, 14th Division and other units in one fell swoop this time, and it is not easy to achieve such a big result." ”"That's too" Yang Xuecheng nodded with a smile and said: "The results of this battle are much better than our pre-war estimates, but we didn't annihilate these little devils in one fell swoop, I am indeed a little unwilling in my heart" Li Guotao smiled and said: "There is nothing unwilling, this time they failed to wipe them out, and they will not have such good luck next time."
Not to mention that they only escaped temporarily, even if they all ran back to the Japanese mainland, one day Lao Tzu would have to destroy them all. ”"Hmm" Yang Xuecheng nodded firmly, and then asked: "Since we have defeated this little devil, what should we do next What is the commander's plan in his heart" Li Guotao frowned slightly, turned around and walked to the side of the sand table, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table and said with a serious face: "Judging from the current situation, there are two choices in front of us.In the first episode, the main force went north, concentrated the main force of our seventh column, and took Changchun in one fell swoop.The second option is to continue to move south, cooperate with the main force of Liaoning, and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Liaoning, and recover Liaoning in one fell swoop. ”Li Changsheng took the lead and said: "I agree with the first method, now that the 7th Division and other units have been newly defeated, and the main force of our army has launched an offensive in Liaoning, the little devils cannot temporarily send enough troops north to support Changchun, we can just concentrate superior forces and take Changchun first, so that our army will have no worries, and can rest assured that it can boldly go south to Liaoning." ”Yang Xuecheng shook his head and said: "I don't agree with Lao Li's opinion, I think that the current little devils in Changchun, after these few battles, have lost their morale.I no longer have the courage to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with our army, leaving two divisions of troops, in coordination with the local troops, is enough to keep this little devil in check.On the other hand, on the battlefield of Liaoning, although the little devil has lost consecutive battles and suffered heavy losses, he still retains a certain strength after all.According to the current news, the little devil is actively transferring troops from the country to support the northeast, and if you wait for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive, it will be even more difficult to take Liaoning. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Although the little devil in Changchun is not worried, but if we attack Changchun, the little devil will inevitably resist desperately, the devil has been operating in Changchun for many years, has built a large number of fortifications, and has also hoarded a large number of military supplies, although we have surrounded Changchun, but if we want to take Changchun, it is still not a task that can be completed in a short time."
Even if we concentrate the main forces of the seventh column to launch a fierce attack, it is not bad to be able to take Changchun within five days.And this time and again, it will take some time to prepare for the battle, so that after we take Changchun, it will be at least half a month later.And by that time, the devil's reinforcements must have arrived. ”Li Changsheng couldn't help frowning, nodded and said: "What the commander said makes sense, but what should Changchun do, you can't just keep dragging it out, leaving this little devil behind is a disaster after all."
If something unexpected happens, it could have an impact on our entire battle situation. ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yamada Otozo has been completely scared by us, they don't dare to fight a decisive battle out of the city, not to mention that we still have the main force of two divisions in Changchun, it is not realistic for these troops to capture Changchun, but it is enough to trap the little devil If the little devil dares to break through and lose the city fortifications, it will not be so terrible, even if our tens of thousands of troops encircle and annihilate this little devil in one fell swoop, it is not a difficult thing." ”Yang Xuecheng nodded and said: "And continuing to besiege Changchun, you can also further erode the morale of the devils, and when the little devils can't help it, they may make some crazy moves, and maybe they will really take the risk to break through, we can just take this opportunity to wipe it out in one fell swoop, and easily take Changchun." ”Li Changsheng finally nodded, expressed his agreement with the views of the two people, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can't talk about you, but this matter is very important, I have to ask the headquarters for advice" Li Guotao nodded and said: "This is natural, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters, report the current situation and our plans to the headquarters in detail, and ask the headquarters to approve our battle plan." ”"Yes" Li Changsheng replied respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.In the afternoon of the same day, the front-line troops reported the statistics of the results of the battle to the headquarters, and in this battle, our army defeated the Japanese 7th Division, the 14th Division and two independent brigades in one fell swoop, and successively annihilated more than 50,000 Japanese troops.The Japanese army suffered heavy losses, the 7th Division lost more than two-thirds of its combat effectiveness, and the 14th Division and other units were basically disabled.aa2705221:
