Chapter 224, Game

At the beginning of September, Zheng Dongguo launched an attack on the entire territory of Rehe in accordance with Du Yuming's operational deployment, and the 52nd Army of the Kuomintang Army in the middle was divided into two routes, and the 2nd Division and the 75th Regiment of the 25th Division on the right set off from the bridgehead and attacked and advanced along the railway in the direction of Andong; The main force of the 25th Division on the left started from Benxi and attacked along the highway in the direction of Saimaji and Kuandian.

Xiao Jinguang ordered the 4th Column of the Northeast Field Army to block the 2nd Division with the 35th Regiment of the 12th Division along the bridgehead to the Andong Railway Line, and the main forces of the 11th and 12th Divisions to withdraw to the area near Saimaji to assemble covertly, the main force of the 25th Division to occupy Saimaji, and the 2nd Division to be blocked in the area north of Windy City. The 52nd Army thought that the main force of the 4th Column of the Northeast Field Army was in the vicinity of Windy City, so it ordered the 25th Division to leave 2 battalions to garrison Saimaji, and the main force of the division immediately moved to the direction of Fengcheng, in an attempt to cooperate with the 2nd Division to annihilate the 4th Column and capture Andong.

In order to contain the 25th Division and relieve the pressure on the 35th Regiment of the 12th Division, the 4th Column of the Northeast Field Army launched an attack on the 2nd battalion of the Kuomintang Army in Saimaji overnight with 3 regiments of the 12th Division and the 12th Division. The battle lasted until dawn the next day, annihilating more than 200 of its people and capturing Saimaji.

The 52nd Army realized that it had made a mistake in judgment and urgently ordered the 25th Division to return and find and destroy the strength of the 4th Column. Two days later, when the 25th Division invaded the Shuanglingzi area, the 4th Column suddenly launched a surprise attack on it with the strength of 5 regiments, and the fierce battle was unsuccessful day and night, and it withdrew from the battle. The next day, the 25th Division reoccupied Saimaji, and on the 29th, it attacked and advanced along the Sai (Maji) Kuan (Dian) road.

On October 10, at the Jinzhou Operations Headquarters, Zheng Dongguo was looking at the sand table, when the young adjutant walked in, looked at Zheng Dongguo and said respectfully.

"General, the 50th Army has occupied important cities such as Andong and Tonghua, and the 25th Division is pursuing the 11th Division of the Northeast Field Army!"

Zheng Dongguo's eyes flashed brightly after listening to the adjutant's words, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, now that it has entered October, no, you must hurry up, the long winter is coming, and you must make a quick decision, so he looked at his adjutant.

"Order the 25th Division to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and must annihilate the 11th Division of the Northeast Field Army, and telegraph to the 50th Army to clear the communist forces in Andong Tonghua and other cities, support the 25th Division, and approach Linjiang, the headquarters of the South Manchurian Military Region of the Northeast Field Army!" After Zheng Dongguo finished speaking, the adjutant was just about to leave, and Zheng Dongguo looked at the adjutant.

"Telegraph to the Shenyang Headquarters, our department has occupied Andong, Tonghua and other important towns, and the next plan is to approach Linjiang!" After Zheng Dongguo finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the adjutant to leave, and then his eyes flashed with a bright gaze, Xiao Jinguang, this time I must rush before the winter to beat you to the ground.

At this moment, in the Linjiang combat command room, Xiao Jinguang, accompanied by Chen Yun, was also looking at the sand table in front of him, his eyes flashed with a relaxed and comfortable gaze, and he saw the adjutant come to Xiao Jinguang's side and say.

"General, the 4th Column has completed the task of covering the transfer of the rear organs, and the 10th Division of the 3rd Column to block the Kuomintang Army on the left is about to be rebuilt, and the National Army has now occupied Andong, Tonghua and other cities, and is clearing the periphery, and the 25th Division is taking advantage of the victory to pursue the 11th Division of our 4th Column, they asked the general, what should we do next?" Xiao Jinguang's eyes flashed with a bright gaze after hearing this, and he laughed.

"Lao Chen, it seems that Zheng Dongguo has already entered the game, and he really gave him a cake and he caught it!"

After listening to Xiao Jinguang's words, Chen Yun also felt a great boost in his heart for a while, and secretly said that this Zheng Dongguo is really a great achievement, in fact, Chen Yun and Xiao Jinguang have misunderstood, Zheng Dongguo is actually so worried about the weather, and he does not want to drag the war into the cold winter, so he is so eager and rash, Chen Yun looked at Xiao Jinguang and said.

"Since your brother's avoidance of its edge, please enter the urn has been achieved, I am afraid that the next step is to swim and attack it and annihilate the enemy's living force!"

Xiao Jinguang's eyes flashed brightly after listening to Chen Yun's words, yes, now he Zheng Dongguo is also in the trap, but unfortunately he has set out a 25th division, but it is also an elite division, so let's collect some interest first! So he looked at his adjutant and said.

The main force of the 12th Division and the 10th Division that had just returned to the establishment of the 12th Division respectively advanced to the northeast of Xinkailing, Shaojiabaozi and Bolinchuan areas to conceal and assemble, and the 35th Regiment of the 12th Division entered the Shicheng area to encircle and send reinforcements, and the 25th Division of the National Army must be lured to the area east of Xinkailing to encircle and annihilate the enemy's living forces!"

After Xiao Jinguang conveyed his situation deployment to his adjutant, the adjutant went to convey Xiao Jinguang's military order, and Chen Yun looked at Xiao Jinguang and said.

"Brother, in this way, once he Zheng Dongguo knows about the scheme, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into the trick next time!" After Xiao Jinguang listened, his eyes flashed with a bright gaze, and he looked at Chen Yundao beside him.

"Don't worry, this time it's just a division, even if he Zheng Dongguo is so frightened that he retreats, Du Yuming behind him won't agree, but now Du Yuming is probably happy about the fruits he achieved in the early stage of his ambition!" After listening to Xiao Jinguang's words, Chen Yun also felt that what he said was very reasonable, and nodded silently in his heart.

At this moment, Du Yuming in the Shenyang combat command room was holding the battle report in his hand and was proud, and at this moment, the captain of the guard came to Du Yuming's side, looked at Du Yuming who was smiling at the moment, and smiled slightly.

"General, Stationmaster Xiao is here, waiting for you in your office!"

Du Yuming was overjoyed when he heard this, this Xiao Shan came at a really good time, and he just happened to share the good news he had just gotten with him, so he happily came to his office, looked at Xiao Shan, who was waiting for him, came to Xiao Shan, and looked at Xiao Shan Road happily.

"Xiaoshan, you can be regarded as the right one today, I just received a good news from Jinzhou, our army has captured Andong, Tonghua and other cities, Zheng Dongguo is now preparing a large army to press the border, in the form of a blitzkrieg, directly approaching the Linjiangnanman combat headquarters!"

Xiao Shan's heart tightened when he heard this, how could this be different from what Hou Yuanshan promised him, he broke through Andong, Tonghua, and Linjiang in a month, Xiao Shan's heart couldn't help but feel worried, but he still looked at Du Yuming with a smile.

"That's really a great event, congratulations to the general, who is about to make immortal contributions to the party and the country!"

"Hahaha, Xiaoshan, don't worry, when the Rehe River is cleared, I will definitely give the principal the credit for your contribution this time, you can rest assured!"

Xiao Shan listened to Du Yuming's confident words and congratulated Du Yuming with a smile, but in fact, he was already anxious in his heart, and after a few words of greeting with Du Yuming, he left the Shenyang Combat Headquarters and went straight to the Mingqing Hall. Xiao Shan came to the Mingqing Hall, and came to Hou Yuanshan's office in a hurry, Hou Yuanshan looked at Xiao Shan's eager expression at this moment, and couldn't help but be full of doubts in his heart, so he looked at Xiao Shan Road.

"Xiao Shan, why did something happen, come here in such a hurry?" After listening to Hou Yuanshan's words, Xiao Shan couldn't help but look at Hou Yuanshan eagerly and asked.

"Deputy Director Hou, didn't you ask me to wait for the good news from your front line, but now that the national army has captured Andong, Tonghua and other places, it is about to approach Linjiang and the South Manchurian command headquarters like lightning, is this the good news you want me to wait, this is your confidence?"

After listening to Xiao Shan's words, Hou Yuanshan understood that Xiao Shan was so eager for this matter, so he laughed out loud, and then looked at Xiao Shan indifferently.

"You see that you are in a hurry, the generals are not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry for the personnel behind the enemy, really, not calm at all, people say that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and I think you are not clear now!" Xiao Shan was not happy after listening to Hou Yuanshan's words, and looked at Hou Yuanshan and laughed at himself.

"Then you are saying that my emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!"

"Hahaha! I didn't say that, okay, you can rest assured, this is a game between the generals and the generals, you can watch the play with peace of mind, I will tell you, Anton and Tonghua are intentional, there is no cake attraction, how can anyone be on the set? ”

Xiao Shan saw Hou Yuanshan finish speaking so indifferently, and understood what Hou Yuanshan meant, it seemed that he was too worried, it turned out that everything was intentional, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, lit a cigarette and looked at Hou Yuanshan.

"It seems that I have a false alarm, and Du Yuming is also empty joy, it turns out that the main event is behind, it seems that the generals' minds are also unpredictable!" After listening to Xiao Shan's words, Hou Yuanshan smiled slightly, and appeased Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan left the Mingqing Hall with peace of mind, looking forward to the good news of the battlefield ahead!

After receiving the respective military orders of the generals of both sides, and the war in front was also in full swing, the 11th Division of the 4th Column of the Northeast Field Army in accordance with Xiao Jinguang's military order, showed weakness head-on, fought and retreated, lured it to advance, and the 25th Division of the National Army for half a month, and on October 30, entered the long and narrow places east of Xinkailing and west of Aiyang Bianmen, and the 25th Division of the National Army also followed the 11th Division of the Northeast Field Army to this place.

On the morning of the 31st, when the 25th Division of the National Army advanced to the vicinity of Laoye Mountain and the 404 Heights, the 11th Division of the 4th Column suddenly launched a fierce attack, and the 25th Division immediately controlled the commanding heights of Laoye Mountain and the 404 Heights.

In the early days, the 10th and 11th Divisions failed to resist repeated attacks due to insufficient concentration of troops and firepower in tactical deployment; The main force of the 12th Division captured the commanding heights on the north side of the road and effectively supported the two divisions, so on November 1, the 11th Division captured the 404th Heights and blocked the passage of the 25th Division to the east or west with the main force of the 12th Division.

At this moment, the 25th Division was all compressed in the Laoye Mountain and Huangjiabaozi area, and at dawn on the 2nd, the 10th Division of the 4th Column again organized forces to repeatedly attack Laoye Mountain. The 25th Division relied on the permanent fortifications left behind by the Japanese army and was supported by air force fire.

At this time, Zheng Dongguo in Jinzhou also knew that he had fallen into Xiao Jinguang's tricks, so he arranged for the Kuomintang Army's 3rd Route reinforcements to be approaching the Xinkailing area, and the 4th Column was in the emergency situation of large casualties and imminent aid to the enemy, commanders at all levels were calm and firm, took the lead, organized artillery to shoot at close range, and put all the reserves into battle, concentrated troops and firepower for assault, and after repeated struggles, the 10th Division captured Lao Ye Mountain at 8 o'clock and a half.

The 25th Division was crowded with men and vehicles, and the whole line was chaotic, and it successively organized a breakthrough to the south and west, but they were all repelled by the main forces of the 11th Division and the 12th Division, and the divisions of the 4th Column gradually tightened the encirclement, fought fiercely until noon, and annihilated the 25th Division at the Warm Yang Bianmen.
