Chapter 299: The Eastern Front Becomes the Main Battlefield
In the vast prairie, the first brigade of the assault armored division of the Northland Volunteer Army, more than 300 tanks strangled the rebels, and the corpses were all over the field and the blood flowed like a river, and those cavalry of King De and Qiao Bashan only fled for their lives, who could escape was the greatest luck.

The Northland Volunteer Armored Brigade is so large that it is equivalent to the number of tanks in an armored division.
People are rich, capricious, and willing to play like this, what do you say?
The so-called cavalry is a group of tired soldiers, can they escape?
These horses were already exhausted, and it was difficult for them to run at a speed that could not be out of range for a short time, waiting for them to die a terrible death.
The tank cluster advanced in an arc to the northwest, moving forward.
From time to time, the artillery erupted into flames, and one by one the cannons were ejected and fired at the routs in front.
The machine guns fired continuously, and they were fired wherever there were people.
Hunt and kill, this is a reckless hunt and kill.
King De and Choi Bashan were also mixed in with these fleeing cavalry, no matter how noble and arrogant they were before, they could not escape the embarrassment of being chased and killed at this moment, and they beat their horses in fear in an attempt to escape.
In the rear of the armored group, except for Wang Tiehan's second heavy division, which was closely following the rear of the assault armored division, all other arms of the army had been spread out according to the plan and carried out their respective tasks.
The goal had already been set, and the units were scattered according to the company and battalion structure, and spread all over the steppe.
There will be no hidden danger wherever they pass.
The question is, what to do with arresting so many people?
These are all easy to do, isn't it counterinsurgency?
If there is a problem, there is no problem, let's catch it first, and then talk about it, as for the way to deal with it, will it work for a few years in labor reform?
In this case, the Northland Volunteers have free labor, so why not?
Of course, there are not many people in the prairie, and it is estimated that people in the north will run away when they hear the news, and no one is stupidly waiting to be caught.
With so many cavalrymen, there will always be a few people who will escape, and they will create fear that the news will soon spread.
Before the war, these factors were taken into account in the battle plan.
After this battle, the Northland Volunteers wiped out the cavalry division of Choi Bashan and the rebel forces of King De, I am afraid that there are not many troops left in the steppe, oh, there is also a regiment of cavalry force.
However, count on the cavalry of this regiment, don't want to fight against the torrent of steel.
Therefore, the next step for the Northland Volunteers will be to consider how to face the biggest challenges, and other factors can be ignored.
The tank swarms were still chasing, and the cavalry were constantly decreasing in the flight, and there were fewer and fewer people, and the tank swarms chased the deserters away and disappeared into the depths of the savannah.
Contrary to the rapid advance of the prairie, the Northland Volunteers in the Eastern Theater of Operations were retreating in great strides.
The army of the Eastern Theater of the Kwantung Army has not yet been launched, and all the armies of the Beidi Volunteer Army have already begun to move, intending to retreat to the position of the Chifeng to Tongliao line, away from the Kwantung Army.
The Eastern Front Combat Group of the Kwantung Army, which had almost stopped advancing, once again waved its troops to the north after receiving the latest instructions from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
The 11th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army's vanguard unit is still at the forefront of the entire cluster, but this time, the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, which is in front, is not as far away from the army in the rear as before, and only moves three or four miles forward.
Moreover, in addition to the second division that had originally followed behind the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, another division has now followed, forming a large diamond shape with the two divisions on the left and right.
In other words, this attack group is the vanguard of two first-class divisions and two second-class divisions, plus a mixed brigade, and the scale is already quite large.
The Kwantung Army has suffered too many losses, and regardless of the outcome of the war, it must first ensure that it cannot be calculated by the heavens.
Therefore, Feng Tian wants to eat a brigade or a division of the Kwantung Army alone, don't even think about it, people are grouped together, and you have the ability to put these four divisions and a brigade in one pot.
Although the Kwantung Army was steady and steady, and the speed of its advance was not very fast, it did not take long to walk more than ten miles.
But it's strange that there was no resistance along the way, not even the original blockade of the battalion and company.
Moreover, from the intelligence received from the aerial reconnaissance aircraft, there were no blocking troops ahead.
Major General Kohei Kashii, the commander of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army, who was at the forefront, had to muttered in his heart, Bage, what is going on?
Nima, there used to be a little bit of army blocking, but now it's good, even a company's strength is gone.
Mixi, what kind of trick is this Fengtian doing?
Because there was no strength to resist, the Kwantung Army's attack group marched relatively quickly in the morning, but in the afternoon, Major General Kohei Kashii, who was walking in front, became more and more uneasy, and he always felt unsteady in his heart.
This person, once you start to get suspicious, it's going to be troublesome.
Major General Kohei Kashii became more and more discouraged as he went, and when it was three o'clock in the afternoon, he simply ordered the army to stop early.
It was difficult for Major General Kohei Kashii to guess what tricks Feng Tian was playing, and he thought it was necessary to ask for instructions, so he couldn't continue to venture like this.
Of course, he didn't say that when he ordered the army, the reason was that the soldiers of the Imperial army needed to recharge their batteries for the coming war.
Why Feng Tian withdrew his troops, of course Major General Kohei Kashii couldn't guess.
When Feng Tian learned that Rehe had completely annihilated a brigade of the Kwantung Army, all the Kwantung Army in Rehe had stopped attacking and shrunk their troops. Apparently, the fort defense of Rehe was very successful.
This undoubtedly reassured Feng Tian, and Rehe was fine.
You must know that Feng Tian is most worried about the Rehe War Zone.
Rehe is dangerous, the entire Northland Volunteer Army will be in a passive situation, and the troops distributed in the east must retreat to block the Kwantung Army's advance with all their might.
Even so, the situation faced by the Northland Volunteers will get worse and worse.
Once the Kwantung Army seized the Rehe Defense Area, it would undoubtedly encourage the Kwantung Army and even make the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Japanese Japanese Army Headquarters make the decision to attack with all their might at all costs.
Feng Tian didn't dare to show his defeat, everyone knew that he would beat the water dogs, and the Kwantung Army was no exception.
Undoubtedly, Rehe will be the top priority of the entire campaign and must be resolutely defended.
And now it has been proven that Rehe's fortress tactics have worked, and the Kwantung Army has returned, so what is there to worry about Fengtian?
Since Rehe was impregnable, there was no need for Fengtian to compete with the Kwantung Army near Mukden. If you want to fight, you must also attract the Kwantung Army into the deep zone, this vast no-man's land, so that Fengtian has many opportunities to severely damage the Kwantung Army.
The deeper the Kwantung Army went, the longer the front stretched, and the logistical pressure was enormous, the more loopholes were exposed.
If the opportunity is seized by Fengtian, it is conceivable that the Kwantung Army can withstand it.
At the same time, Feng Tian also analyzed that the Kwantung Army stopped the offensive of Rehe, but at the beginning of King De's action, it was impossible for the Kwantung Army not to make a little movement, and it would definitely cooperate with King De's action.
Then, the Kwantung Army will inevitably activate the eastern battlefield and create a posture of storming the Northland Volunteers.
The so-called enemy has changed and I have changed, and Feng Tian changed his strategy in time.
