Chapter 610: The End of the Kwantung Army (8)

After the capture of Daan, all the gates in the entire Songyuan region were opened, although now the Kwantung Army headquarters had learned that an unknown number of but extremely large Chinese troops had penetrated into the Songyuan area, but it was obviously too late. Da'an, which is not only the gateway to the Songyuan region, but also the logistics supply base for all the Japanese puppet troops on the front line of Baicheng, and the millions of war materials hoarded in Da'an all fell into the hands of the Chinese army before they could be destroyed. At the same time, the defenders of the Baicheng line will face the crisis of supply difficulties, if this Chinese army kills another horse gun now, then the Baicheng line of 4 infantry divisions, an independent infantry brigade and 6 Imperial Cooperative Army infantry divisions of nearly 100,000 troops may be more than lucky.

General Yamada Otozo felt a great pressure, and the desperate plan of the Shina people put most of the Japanese troops in the Middle Manchurian region into passivity in time. The loss of the logistics base of Da'an was no less than a disaster for the Kwantung Army, and now there was no other way than to let the more than 100,000 troops on the front line immediately retreat.

Knocking out the logistics base of the Japanese army on the front line of Manchuria, this is definitely an external gain, whether it is Han Yunhua or Wan Guoquan, it is not clear before that Da'an is the logistics base of the Japanese army on the front line of Baicheng, because according to the news from the intelligence department, the Japanese army on the front line of Baicheng transported materials through the railway between Songyuan and Baicheng, so Han Yunhua and others thought that Songyuan was the logistics base of the Japanese army on the Baicheng front, and they did not expect that the Japanese army would use Da'an as the logistics base of the Japanese army in the direction of Baicheng in order to replenish nearby.

Looking at the dozens of huge warehouses next to the Da'an Railway Station full of supplies, Wan Guoquan was overjoyed and immediately reported to the front-line command and asked for instructions at the same time.

After receiving the telegram from Wan Guoquan, Han Yunhua was also surprised, but more than that, he couldn't hide his joy, he knocked out the logistics base of the Japanese army, and the more than 100,000 Japanese puppet troops on the front line were about to face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food. Han Yunhua knew that the Japanese army would generally prepare a week's supplies when fighting, which means that from now on, the Japanese army in the direction of Baicheng would hold out for 7 days at most and collapse without a fight, which was definitely good news for Han Yunhua.

"Old Zuo, how is the advance of the troops?" Han Yunhua did not immediately give instructions to Wan Guoquan's subordinates, but first asked Zuo Quan about the situation of other troops.

"I have just come from the telegraph room, and a telegram has just been sent from Su Yu, saying that they have occupied Kangping, Wuzhang, and Faku, and that the troops are actively advancing towards Fuxin and Kaiyuan, and that the troops are progressing smoothly, and the Japanese army has been defeated and retreated. However, the Japanese army set up a defensive position at the Troop Mobilization Mountain, preparing for a major battle with the Second Route Army. Where the Japanese army deployed two infantry divisions, at the same time an infantry division was placed in Kaiyuan and Tieling on the flank, an infantry division was also placed in Fuxin, and a large number of puppet troops. As for the progress of Chen Geng's First Route Army, the Japanese army transferred more than half of the troops in the South Manchurian region to deal with Chen Geng's department, in addition to the four infantry divisions in the Chaoyang area, six infantry divisions were also deployed along the Jinzhou line, although the First Route Army has now arrived under the city of Jinzhou, but it is still difficult to break through the Japanese defense along the Chaojin line in a short time. Zuo Quan said without thinking about it.

"What is the progress of Lu Zhengcao's middle route army, has his nail played its due role?" Han Yunhua asked again.

"Hehehe, how can it not work, Lu Zhengcao's central command has played a big role now, because the troops of the central command were fighting against the Japanese puppet army before we launched the general attack, so their troops were assembled much faster than ours. When we dispatched our troops, Lu Zhengcao had already issued the orders of the headquarters to all the troops, and the central headquarters, except for Zhao Shangzhi's Third Field Army, the rest of the troops were all encircled in the Changchun area in accordance with the orders of the headquarters. Now they have advanced to the line of Jilin and Yongji, and Li Dingguo's subordinates, who are fighting on the Sino-Korean border, have also gone north to occupy Tonghua and Liuhe, and are attacking the Haihekou, Huinan, and Panshi areas. Since there were less than two infantry divisions and regiments of Japanese troops in that area, their progress was very fast, and in terms of the speed of their advance, Lu Zhengcao and them were far better than us. ”…,

"Hehe, that's good, in order to send their sharp knife into the heart of the enemy, our entire Inner Mongolia Military Region has paid less, 600,000 troops have set up a stage for them to sing, if they can't get satisfactory results, I'm afraid that the commanders of those military divisions will have opinions at that time." Han Yunhua said with a smile.

"That's right, but the fastest advance is still the Soviet troops, in just two days, the Soviet tank troops have already moved south to the front line of Fujin, Wuying, and Wudalianchi, which is 3 days faster than we expected. However, they also encountered the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, and the elite divisions and the first tank division of the Kwantung Army had also gone north to meet the Soviet Red Army, and it was not easy to occupy Yichun and Jiamusi, but Zhao Shangzhi had already joined forces with the Soviet Red Army, and Zhao Shangzhi's Third Field Army had also occupied all the counties and cities west of the Jiamusi area, giving the Soviets a surprise. Zuo Quan said with a smile.

"Very good, now Yamada Otozo has been completely disrupted, judging from his troop arrangement, he is completely led by our nose, where we fight, he will send troops there, there is no counterattack strategy, no strategic arrangement, it seems that it is not as difficult to solve the Kwantung Army as we imagined, but Yichun and Changchun are a difficult bone to gnaw. Now I can report to Wan Guoquan, order his mechanized troops not to distract their energy, I will send transport planes to rush to transport that batch of materials, the combat mission of their mechanized group remains unchanged, and set off immediately after replenishing the consumption, I don't care what method he uses, he must rush to the Songyuan area within two days, take Songyuan within 5 days, and we will be in Changchun in half a month. A telegram with the same content was sent to Lu Zhengcao, telling him that I would not give him a specific combat mission, but that I would see him and the Northeast People's Liberation Army join the war when we met Changchun in half a month. Han Yunhua paused slightly and then continued: "Send another telegram to Chen Geng's subordinates, since the little devils are ready to have a decisive battle with them, then we should not bypass those cities that the Japanese army has defended first, and focus the attack on non-important counties and towns, as long as we occupy the vast majority of the counties and towns in South Manchuria, even if the little devils continue to guard Shenyang, it is just a matter of surviving, and it is better to clean up those *** when we have the energy to go back." ”

"Okay, I'll send a report right away."

"Wait a minute, we're going to step up on our side. The 3rd and 4th Cavalry Groups were ordered to bypass Baicheng and quickly march towards the Changchun line. Ordered Xu Shiyou and Bao Sen's subordinates to immediately move closer to Baicheng, the 100,000-day puppet army is now just a hungry tiger, and at most a few times it will lose its temper. In addition, let Peng Shaohui's 13th Field Army Protection Command move forward, and we can't miss the appointment when we meet Changchun in half a month. Han Yunhua said.

"No problem, what we attacked itself is the weakness of the Japanese puppet army, the Japanese puppet army in China is not only small in number, but also has too many important places, containing a large number of Japanese puppet troops, so the difficulties we encounter are very small, and these 100,000 elites are already the only mobile force of Yamada Otozo, if it is annihilated because of the supply problem, then Yamada Otozo may not be able to cry." Zuo Quan said confidently.

During this time, the war in the northeast region attracted much attention, whether it was the Nationalist government, the United States and the Soviet Union and other countries, or even Britain and France, all of them also focused on this part of the northeast, and the media of various countries also sent garrison reporters to follow the troops to record and report the battles on the front line.

However, the focus of these reporters of the allied countries was different, and this operation was jointly planned by the allies, so the Soviet Union and other countries all had troops to participate in the war, and the Soviet Union needless to say, 350,000 Soviet Red Army troops entered China to fight. Although the United States did not send an army to the war, it did send more than 200 fighters and bombers, as well as a large number of pilots. Therefore, when the media of various countries report on the war in the Northeast, they will deliberately report on the warriors of their own countries. …,

The New York Times wrote in the morning newspaper on October 19: "God, in 10 minutes I will set out with a Chinese army to attack a city a hundred kilometers away overnight, I don't know if I can come back alive, to be honest I don't trust the Chinese troops at all, but we don't have the same fighters as our American boys, as the funny general said, I have become a worm on a rope with them, and if something happens, no one can run and have to admire, The Chinese army was indeed very hard, in the absence of cars and trains, they actually walked for a whole night, on horseback I can roughly predict, from last night to one o'clock this morning, the Chinese walked a total of more than 80 kilometers, reached the intended attack position. It's hard to believe how those emaciated soldiers hold out, the battle is about to start, God, let's hope our attack will be as sharp as the general said, let's hope they will work a miracle, war correspondent Charles. ”

The Washington Post also had the same war report prominently featured a war correspondent Barbara's article: "I never thought I would one day become a war correspondent, but unfortunately I was transferred out of the safety of the United States by the company and sent by my boss to work as a war correspondent in that distant China." I was ampere in the Air Force, and oh my God, I've seen Americans here, from New York, and from my native Oregon, and it's good, and I'm going to experience real war with the American warplanes that bomb the Northeast, and I'm scared, but I'm looking forward to it."
