The sun shines on the vast land, and the sorghum blooms with cherry blossom ears, covering the earth with a layer of green adorned with red sè; The rolling Liao River rolled the waves, spitting out white foam and rushing to the south. \\。 Ｑb⑸.cOM\\

On the river Chuáng, seven or eight pontoon bridges spanned both banks, hundreds of thousands of troops passed over the bridges, and drove to the place where black smoke was emitting in the distance, the sound of artillery was sparse, and the Japanese army did not resist strongly, even if the natural geographical conditions of the Liao River, the Japanese army only resisted for a day, and then gave up.

The Fifth Army finally got the task of being the forward, and Fan Hanjie had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, standing on the bank of the river, looking at the torrent of steel that was crossing the river, and he couldn't help but feel the pride of dominating the world and giving up on me.

"Report, the Japanese army abandoned its position and retreated to the other side of the Hunhe River, and Commander Gan asked if it was possible to cross the river?"

Fan Hanjie's arrogance suddenly dissipated, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Whoever loses his mother, why is this little devil a chicken." He looked up at the mechanized infantry division that was crossing the river, and then ordered the waiting staff officer: "Order Commander Gan, start crossing the river immediately, and order the follow-up troops to speed up their actions!" ”

After speaking, Fan Hanjie turned around and boarded the jeep waiting beside him, and the jeep kicked up a puff of dust and sped away eastward. Behind it, a long line of armored cars crossed the field, and the soldiers sat on the cars, laughing and laughing with ease, the steel helmets on their heads reflecting the sun.

In the sky, more than a dozen fighter planes swept across the sky, leaving more than ten white traces on the blue sky, and the roar of the engine shook the heavens and the earth.

The squadron broke through the Liao River on the whole line and approached the Hunhe River, and the five group armies pressed on the west bank of the Hunhe River and looked at the Japanese army on the east bank.

However, the battlefield presented a strange state, the squadron in the west advanced rapidly, but the 24th Group Army, which occupied Shenyang, did not take the opportunity to move south. The 73rd Army went north to seize the Tieling Faku Siping Kangping land, and the 20th Army also divided two divisions to attack eastward, quickly seizing the area east of Fushun and Ji, and the puppet Manchurian Defense Army along the way was reversed.

However, the squadron that went south from Heilongjiang acted more actively, and Sun Zhen stayed in the New Sixth Army to occupy Changchun. The 49th Group Army and the New First Army of the First Mechanized Group Army moved south in three routes, and the First Division of the Airborne Forces of the New First Army went to Jilin and attacked Yanji along the Jiaohe Dunhua.

The 49th Group Army and the 1st Mechanized Group Army attacked south in two directions, left and right, and the 49th Group Army went straight down to Liaoyuan from the front, and then went south along the Tongliao Highway. The First Mechanized Group Army took Panshi Huinan, and the front of the troops pointed directly at the source of the Mengjiang River.

Soon after arriving in Jinzhou, Zhuang Jihua transferred all the 51st Group Army and the 112th Army of the 52nd Group Army, which had remained in eastern Hebei, to Guanwai, but the 51st Army and the 57th Army remained near Qinhuangdao. Starting

After the 5152nd Group Army and the 112th Army entered the northeast, they drove directly to Shenyang, and then marched southeast from Fushun to cut off the connection between Jilin and Liaoning.

The 49th Army and the 1st Mechanized Army, which were moving south from Changchun, advanced extremely rapidly, as the troops of the Western Front approached the west bank of the Hunhe River. The 49th Army occupied Dongfeng, and the advance approached the mouth of the Meihe River; Qiu Qingquan's actions were faster, and the Forward Panzer Division had already crossed Huinan.

On the situation map, the seven or eight huge arrows representing the squadron, like seven or eight vultures, stared fiercely at Liaonan, as if they might pounce at any time.

Southern Liaoning concentrated the last main force of the Kwantung Army, a total of eleven divisions and three ** tank brigades were assembled in a vast area from the east bank of the Hunhe River to Fengcheng. To the south of this area, on the Liaodong Peninsula, there are also two Marine Brigades guarding the Port of Arthur.

Looking at the map, Okabe Naosaburo and Qin Yan Saburo sighed almost at the same time, millions of squadrons, step by step, five group armies and five armies of the Western Front. Not in a hurry, not impatient, coordinated action, step by step; The two elite armies on the Eastern Front moved quickly.

"Why didn't the 24th Army go south?" Qin Yan Saburo was a little puzzled, in the eyes of the Japanese army, the combat effectiveness of the 24th Group Army was very strong. The entire group army had 110,000 troops, and such a large force was pressed down from the north, which posed a greater threat to the Japanese army.

"It should be that there is something wrong with them internally," Nakajima Yasuken almost immediately made a judgment: "China has always been like this, when the external pressure is high, they are united, the external pressure is reduced, and they are immediately divided, the 24th Group Army, the New Sixth Army, the New Eighth Army, and a large number of surrendered Manchurian Defense Forces, stay in Shenyang, Xinjing, Heilongjiang, but just to grab territory, and ** to grab territory, to put it simply, it is the contradictions between them that help us." ”

Okabe Naosaburo smiled bitterly in his heart, didn't he just see this behemoth on the other side back then, there were many internal contradictions, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were everywhere, warlords were divided, and civil wars were repeated, so he came in. But as soon as they came in, they found that things were not at all as they imagined, the warlords could also give up political disputes, the bandits would also resist the Japanese, and the common people were not afraid of death, everything had changed.

"Order the troops to retreat, retreat as originally planned." Qin Yan Saburo sighed, the formation of the squadron is to oppress on the western front and outflank on the eastern front, if you don't retreat, once the 49th Group Army and the 1st Mechanized Group Army on the eastern front are outflanked, you can't go even if you want to.

Okabe Naosaburo nodded and was about to give an order, but Nakajima Yasuken suddenly spoke: "Please wait," Okabe Naosaburo and Qin Hiko Saburo looked at him with some puzzlement, and Nakajima Yasuken was looking at the eastern front thoughtfully.

Okabe Naosaburo deployed three divisions on the Eastern Front, the 174th, 183rd and 192nd Divisions, as well as the Jinan garrison, with a total strength of about 60,000 men, no tanks, no armored vehicles. This force was mainly concentrated in the Tonghua area to protect the flanks of the southern Liaonan army, and in the areas of Yanji, Longjing, and Antu in the southeast of Jilin, there were only the Manchurian Defense Army.

The Kwantung Army could neither trust nor dismiss the Manchurian Defense Force, and from the beginning of the attack of the ** squadron to the present, wherever the ** squadron went, hundreds of thousands of Manchurian defense troops defected one after another, and almost did not fire a single shot.

At present, there are about 60,000 Manchurian Defense Forces in the southeast of Kyrgyzstan to the Sino-Soviet border area, and there are more Manchurian Defense Forces in this area, because this area is an active area of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and the famous Anti-Japanese Democratic Allied Army Yang Jingyu was killed in the mountainous area of this area. After Yang Jingyu's death, the Japanese army continued to search and suppress this area, and it was not until 1942 that the Anti-Japanese Federation was completely eliminated. In order to prevent the resurgence of the Anti-United Nations, heavy troops have been stationed in this area.

"Nakajima-kun, do you have any ideas? Say it, let's think about it. Qin Yan Saburo said.

Nakajima Yasuken smiled bitterly: "Not specific yet, I just feel that the progress of the Chinese Army on the Eastern Front is not too fast, and the terrain in this area is also conducive to ambushes, Commander, can you give me two divisions, I will go to the Eastern Front to see, looking for fighters, if I can, even if I can destroy a brigade of the Chinese Army, it will also be a victory." ”

Okabe Naosaburo looked at the map silently, so far, the Kwantung Army has officially fought in front of the Shanhaiguan Gate, and most places, including Xinjing and Shenyang, have given up without firing a shot, to be honest, not only the officers and soldiers below are dissatisfied, even he himself feels aggrieved. However, if Nakajima Yasuken led the two divisions eastward, it was possible to find fighters, but this was also a very dangerous move.

After Nakajima advances eastward, his side will definitely give up the Hunhe River, and the squadron will fully cross the Hunhe River, and Nakajima Kangjian will face the situation of being flanked before and after, and the slightest carelessness will wipe out the entire army.

In terms of ability, Nakajima Kangjian is the absolutely correct candidate, this guy is bold and careful, good at capturing fighters, knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to make trade-offs. Among the generals of the entire Kwantung Army, if anyone can find fighters on the Eastern Front, win the victory, and save the troops to the greatest extent, there is no one else in the middle of the island.

"Okay, I'll give you two divisions and march east overnight, but I must tell you, I'll give you three days, within three days, I will attract the Western Front Army to the west of Fengcheng, and after three days, I will lead my troops to retreat south, and then it's up to you." Naosaburo Okabe said decisively.

Nakajima Yasuken is very grateful, Okabe Naosaburo's move is already to help to the maximum, not only not to let the Western Front Squadron advance too fast, but also to ensure that the main force of the Kwantung Army is not damaged.

Yasuken Nakajima led the 271st and 270th Divisions to the east overnight, and Naosaburo Okabe ordered the troops on the Western Front to hold the Hunhe River for two days. With this order, a large-scale battle broke out on the Hunhe front.

The battle situation on the front line quickly spread to the Jinzhou Theater Command, and the abnormal actions of the Japanese army lifted Zhuang Jihua's spirits, and he listened to He Wei's report in the war room.

"The Japanese army is somewhat abnormal, although the Hunhe River has the advantage of river defense, but it is not more favorable than the terrain of western Liaoning, so the purpose of the Japanese army's move remains to be discussed." He Wei showed a hesitant expression for the first time, obviously not knowing what the purpose of the Japanese army's move was.

Zhuang Jihua looked at the map, on the map, the squadrons were advancing rapidly south, and the Japanese army was fleeing south. Du Yuming looked at the map and frowned slightly, after he handed over the command of the cluster, he stayed in the theater command, but he did not have any position. On the contrary, Song Xilian is still the commander of the Second Army, and is leading the Second Army to attack the Hunhe River.

"Is the Japanese army going to fight a decisive battle here?" He Zhuguo's tone was obviously a little unconfident.

"No, absolutely not," Xu Zuyi immediately shook his head: "Okabe Naosaburo withdrew 100,000 troops to North Korea before the war, and his total strength in the northeast is only more than 200,000, and after deducting the troops on the Eastern Front, Okabe Naosaburo has a maximum of 1670,000 troops in his hands, a decisive battle?" What will he fight for? Our army only needed three army groups to completely annihilate him. ”

"Yes," Du Yuming interjected, and he walked to the map: "The resistance of the Japanese army is mainly concentrated in Gaotuo, Wenxiang, and Qili Temple, and the Japanese army has invested three or five divisions at most; It is very easy to break through the Hunhe River, and our army only needs to widen the width of the battlefield in the upper and lower reaches to successfully break through the Hunhe River, so I think that Okabe Naosaburo does not want to fight a decisive battle, but only wants to delay the advance of our army. ”

"Then why did he slow down the advance of our army?" Zhuang Jihua suddenly asked.

Du Yuming hesitated, he looked at the map, and said with some hesitation: "Does Naosaburo Okabe want to have an operation on the Eastern Front?" But then he vetoed his idea: "No, no, the 49th Army of the Eastern Front has strong combat effectiveness, with four armies and a total strength of more than 180,000, even if it encounters the main force of the Kwantung Army, it is not bad at all, Okabe Naosaburo wants to fight him, but it is whimsical." ”！。
