The telegram was sent by Hu Yanbing, the naval founder of the Saibei Corps, who telegraphed Ma Zheng to say that his fleet had arrived off the coast of Dalian, and that two infantry divisions had been transported from the port of Tianjin, and that as long as Ma Zheng ordered it, the troops could land in Dalian or Dandong at any time.

After receiving the telegram from Hu Yanbing, Ma Zheng was naturally overjoyed, and now the battle in South Manchuria has not been able to make a decisive breakthrough, which makes Ma Zheng very dissatisfied.
As long as they landed in Dalian, the strength of the two divisions could be stabbed in the enemy's back, and even if they could not destroy the Japanese army in South Manchuria, they could inflict heavy losses on them.
Immediately, Ma Zheng ordered the Huyan military headquarters to land in Dalian immediately, and immediately after the troops landed, they approached Fengtian along Wafangdian, Gaizhou, and Yingkou.
At the same time, Ma Zheng also ordered the troops on the southern front to strengthen the offensive and cooperate with the offensive of the Huyan army.
On February 1, 1944, a day that all officers of the Kwantung Army Command will never forget, the Chinese Navy suddenly made a force to escort a large number of infantry to land in the port of Dalian.
The landing battle lasted a whole day, and then the defenders of nearly a wing of Dalian were completely annihilated, and Dalian changed hands.
Subsequently, under the command of Liu Fengchi, more than 50,000 people from the two reinforced divisions of the Saibei Corps attacked north along the Dalian road, and the front of the troops was directed at Mukden.
After receiving the telegram from the Dalian defenders, Yamada Otozo was shocked, the Zhina army in one direction was already difficult enough to fight, but he didn't expect the Zhina people to jump to Dalian, which was a big trouble.
The most important thing is that in view of the fact that Dalian is located in a seaport, and Ma Zheng's headquarters came from the west and south, it is impossible to threaten Dalian at all, so Yamada Otozo transferred all the troops from Dalian, Yingkou and other places to the front line of Panjin and Fuxin, and now there are not many troops in the east and south of Fengtian.
On the one hand, Yamada Otozo dispatched troops to block Liu Fengchi's headquarters, and on the other hand, he asked the base camp to order the troops stationed in Korea to immediately go north to flank Liu Fengchi's headquarters.
However, before waiting for the reply of the base camp, the North Manchurian front came again bad news, on the afternoon of February 1, the elm tree was lost, Ma Zheng's department was moving north along Daling Town, and the troops could arrive in Harbin in three days at most, and at this time the Japanese Imperial Army in Harbin was just planning to break through, and the two sides were likely to encounter in Buyeo or the suburbs of Harbin.
Even so, Yamada Otozo still did not change the order, and still let the troops of North Manchu go south to break through. Then, the vanguard of the Japanese army stationed in North Manchuria, under the leadership of Shimizu Rules, rushed straight to Buyeo.
This time, the Japanese army was desperately in a desperate mentality, and Lieutenant General Shimizu Gui concentrated almost all the troops in North Manchuria, with more than 100,000 people in the whole army, under the jurisdiction of 4 infantry divisions and 3 mixed brigades, in addition to 4 divisions of the puppet Manchukuo Defense Army.
To be honest, Qing Shui Rules' original hope for going south was not in the first place, and now Xu Hu's department has entered the Suihua area, if it weren't for Qing Shui Rules' stay in Suihua to leave an elite drag, I'm afraid Xu Hu's department would have hit Harbin a long time ago.
In history, this person participated in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain as the commander of the 41st Division in the formation of the First Army, and adopted the tactics of breaking through the center, taking advantage of the strong wind and rain to break through the Zhao Shiling Department of the 43rd Army in one day, and divided the Zeng Wanzhong Department of the 5th Group Army of the Chinese Army and Liu Maoen of the 14th Group Army, completing the double encirclement.
Therefore, in terms of tactical level, Shimizu rules are much stronger than the three generals of Yamada B. But even so, Shimizu rules are still more respectful to General Yamada Otosan, because Yamada Otozo is one of the few senior officers in the Japanese Army who can listen to the opinions of his subordinates, which Shimizu rules think is difficult to do.
However, when dealing with this battle, Shimizu Ryoshi thinks that Yamada Otozo is too indecisive. Shimizu believed that the Kwantung Army should take the initiative to attack at the beginning of the battle, and even use all the special bombs in stock and all the weapons that could be used.
Because there are only three offensive postures between the two warring sides, one is that if you fight me, I will not fight back, the second is that if you fight me, I will fight back, and the third is that if I know that you want to fight me, then I will strike first to seize the opportunity of the war.
However, after the battle broke out, General Yamada Otozo actually ordered the troops not to use poison gas bombs without the approval of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, which greatly limited the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army, which made Shimizu very dissatisfied. However, in the face of the strict hierarchy of the Japanese army, Shimizu Rules, although dissatisfied, still resolutely carried out the orders of General Yamada Otosan.
After analyzing the situation of the enemy and us, Qing Shui decided that the plan of breaking through to the south was not feasible, and he took more than a dozen operational staff officers of the command headquarters to deduce six times on the sand table, but each time the result was that he was encircled and eaten by the Chinese and Soviet troops on the way south, and the best result was that more than half of the whole army was killed and wounded, and then surrounded by the Chinese army on the periphery of Xinjing.
However, due to the military order, Shimizu still firmly carried out the combat order of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, but made some adjustments in the strength of the troops left in Harbin, and strengthened the defenders of the original wing to a brigade.
The Qingshui rule is to leave a way back for the troops, and once the breakthrough is unsuccessful, the troops can also retreat to Harbin and wait for reinforcements. If Harbin is abandoned too early, then there will be no way back, and once the breakthrough does not go well, the result will be unimaginable.
As Shimizu had predicted, the breakout forces were held back by Chinese mechanized forces south of the Twin Cities, and the two sides fought fiercely on the outskirts of the Twin Cities.
Since both sides were clear about their respective tasks and the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, both Qingshui and Chen Xudong strictly ordered the troops not to take a step back, and they were desperately determined.
In the battle on the outskirts, the only remaining 100 chariots of the Qingshui Rule's department were severely attacked by Chen Xudong's department, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, in addition to the infantry also suffered heavy casualties, and there were more than 16,000 casualties in just two days of fighting. After the attack was hopeless, Qing Shui immediately turned to the defensive, and the whole army retreated into the city of Shuangcheng.
As the south gate of Harbin and the most important transportation station of the Harbin-Xinjing railway, the city defense fortifications of Shuangcheng are still very complete, and the materials hoarded in Shuangcheng are also extremely rich, so the Qingshui Rule Department will not be defeated due to the shortage of materials in a short period of time.
The vast majority of the troops led by Chen Xudong are armored troops, and the real infantry is only about one regiment, while the Japanese army defending the city has more than 80,000 people in 4 infantry divisions, and it is not possible to attack it at all.
However, although Lieutenant General Qing Shui temporarily blocked the attack of Chen Xudong's troops, the plan of the North Manchurian Kwantung Army to break through to the south was in vain.
After the mission failed, he directly ordered all the Japanese puppet troops in the North Manchurian region to immediately abandon all positions, and the whole army retreated back to Harbin, where he wanted to fight a big offensive and defensive battle with Ma Zheng's department.
The battle had been eroded to this point, and Qing Shui knew that there were only two ways in front of their army, the first was to surrender and save their lives, and the second was to resist to the end.
The problem is that with the temper of the devilish general in China, even if the troops surrender, they may not have a way to live.
Although more than 100,000 troops have returned to Harbin one after another, plus the 70,000 or 80,000 troops on the Erlongshan front, the entire North Manchurian garrison is about 200,000.
An army of 100,000 people defended a city, and it was the first time that Qing Shui had fought for so many years. However, the defense of the Qing Shui Rule troops is nothing, but once they are surrounded by the Shina people, there will be no chance to break through.
And depending on the situation, even if he resists to the end, the Kwantung Army Command will not give him even a little reinforcement.
Even though he knew that there was no hope, Shimizu still planned to fight because he didn't want to lose to anyone. Even if he wants to die, he has to die like a soldier, and only when he dies on the battlefield can Qing Shui feel that he has not insulted his military uniform and the surname Qing Shui.
