Among the commanders, Umezu Mijiro was still furious, and the proximity of Li Ping's troops made him understand that Mukden was in danger, and he had made such a ruthless combat decision, but the situation still did not mean to get better.

When Umezu Mijiro was in a panic, on the other side, Li Ping's forward troops had already fought with the devil garrison in the Sujiatun area, and Xiong Cheng's chariot troops advanced in front, followed by three infantry detachment leaders.

"Report to the captain, Captain Sun reports that the cavalry has broken through to the right flank of the devil and is currently approaching the side of Captain Xiong."

Li Ping nodded and said, "Order Xiong Cheng and the three infantry detachments, and the troops will not stop for a moment after breaking through the line, and continue to advance to the Fengtian side." ”

"The commander of the detachment of the ordering side, his infantry detachment follows Xiong Cheng and them, temporarily acting as the logistics force of the assault force to ensure the safety of the material route."

"Yes, Captain."

After Li Ping finished speaking, he picked up the binoculars and observed the battlefield, at this time it was a wing of devils stationed here, and Xiong Cheng's breakthrough could not be stopped by these devils.

"Captain, Lao Qin and they have already been deployed, and when Xiong Cheng and them break through, we will immediately surround this place."

Li Ping put down the binoculars and sighed: "I want to give up here and go straight to the past, but these devils will definitely give up here and pursue us at that time." ”

"If we don't deal with them, we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and it is too easy to have accidents and cause problems in that kind of battle."

The chief of staff nodded when he heard this, he understood what Li Ping meant, although it was important to take Fengtian, but the surrounding enemies must be cleared.

When Li Ping was deploying here, the face of the Devil Wing commanding the operation at this time turned black, and he had palpitations, looking at the troops of the Eighth Route Army who were going away with a helpless look.

"Immediately send a telegram to the division commander Sugita Tomokazu that our unit has failed to block Li Ping's troops, and some troops have broken through, and the chariot troops will take the lead, so let the division commander be careful."

The voice fell, and at this time, the chief of staff came over and said, "Wing Commander, the troops of the Eighth Route Army are surrounded, and they want to solve us." ”

The corner of the devil's co-captain twitched when he heard this, he was like a roadblock snake now, and it was strange that Li Ping didn't step on himself.

"Order the troops to prepare! We will fight to the end. ”

"Hi"

In Mukden City, Sugita Tomokazu looked at the telegram and trembled in his heart, this is Li Ping's combat style, domineering and cold, making Li feel like he wants to bow his head in the face of his momentum.

Looking at the sand table, Sugita Tomokazu thought for a moment and then said: "In addition to the wing stationed in the Sujiatun area, there is also an infantry wing stationed on our periphery. ”

"Now I order, the cavalry wing immediately out of the city, send an infantry wing to strengthen the perimeter line."

"The two infantry wings left behind ensure the defense of the city, the artillery units support the peripheral troops at any time, and the logistics and engineering units perform their duties.

"Hi"

Everyone dispersed, and Sugita Tomokazu grabbed the chief of staff and said softly: "Chief of staff, you immediately arrange for armed expatriates to join them in the battle sequence." ”

The chief of staff of the devil widened his eyes after asking, and said in a lost voice: "Division commander, is this too ..."

Sugita Tomokazu shook his head with narrowed eyes, and said solemnly: "Go and arrange it!" Even if the commander knows about it, he won't blame us, as long as he keeps Mukden, he can pay any price. ”

"Okay, I see."

Tomokazu Sugita began to deploy, and in Mukden Castle, many people found out that there was a problem, because the oppressive atmosphere made many people feel that artillery fire would envelop the place.

There were constantly Japanese expatriates who were notified and quickly gathered at the barracks, and some protested, but Sugita Tomokazu's order was one, and they must participate.

In the headquarters, Umezu Mijiro looked at the telegram on the table and laughed coldly, these expatriates are really waste, and they actually want to sue.

Umezu Mijiro didn't think there was anything wrong with what Tomokazu Sugita did, on the contrary, he felt that Tomokazu Sugida's approach was very good, and at such a moment, a little more combat power is a matter of combat effectiveness.

"Send a telegram to Tomokazu Sugita and let him fight with peace of mind, no one can trouble him in this matter."

"Chief of Staff, since Tomokazu Sugita can use this method in Fengtian, then we can also use it in other places, you can arrange this matter immediately."

"Yes, Commander."

Umezu Mijiro found that the expatriates seemed to have some effect, and arming them would at least give them a lot more troops.

Umezu Mijiro decided to do this, but Li Ping on the other side didn't know that he was looking at Commander Zhou's telegram at this time, and fell into hesitation.

Commander Zhou's meaning was to let Li Ping concentrate his forces to solve Mukden, and hand over the problems in the rear to the troops he followed.

"Captain, I think this is a feasible solution."

The chief of staff spoke, Li Ping raised his head when he heard this, looked at the chief of staff, shook his head slightly, and said: "It's too much time to do this, and when the time comes, Lao Zhou and they will have a lot more time to deploy." ”

"Chief of Staff, you immediately send a telegram to Commander Zhou, so that his vanguard troops can take Fengtian directly, and the follow-up troops will also follow, and we will be handed over here."

Li Ping made a decision, and on the other side, Commander Zhou looked at the telegram, and he immediately understood what Li Ping meant, that is, to take Mukden as the priority.

Commander Zhou put down the telegram, walked a few steps and said: "Send a telegram to Li Ping, he will take over the command of our forward troops, how to fight him and decide for himself, it will take another day for our follow-up troops to pass, and this time cannot be wasted." ”

"Yes, Commander."

When Xiong Cheng's troops attacked the devil troops on the periphery of Fengtian, the roaring shelling explosion made the people in Fengtian City suddenly realize, no wonder the devils were so nervous, and they were mobilizing troops, martial law, and recruiting overseas Chinese to arm to temporarily serve as patrol troops in the city, it turned out that the troops of the Eighth Route Army had already arrived in the city.

The hearts of the people were excited, as if the sound of the shelling outside the city was the most pleasant sound.

In a house, several people were sitting at this time, and their expressions were extremely serious.

"This is a telegram from the headquarters, Captain Li has attacked, asking us to cooperate in the operation."

"The headquarters instructed that we have two tasks, first, to cooperate with Comrade Li Hu's special combat team to ensure the safety of the arsenal, and not to let the devils destroy it when they fail again."

"Second, meet Captain Li's intelligence requirements at all costs, and cooperate with them to take Fengtian as soon as possible."

After a short pause, he continued: "Comrades, this time we may die because of the information, but we have to do this, and the information we have obtained may determine the life and death of the soldiers who are fighting, are you ready?" ”

"Ready."

The undercurrent in Fengtian City became surging, the intelligence department of the devil was in a panic, and in a teahouse, Huzi was also deploying operations.
